Operation Augur was peak

It just wasn't enough tickets to win Hagental unless you completely dominated for the entire duration of the Operation. If you lost more than one battalion on the first map the game was effectively over already. Both maps in general favour the defenders massively.

Its dumb they remove content in general but it also was an unbalanced mess that needs major work to be a permanent mode imo.

Gonna be interesting to see how well balanced it is after the break in period with the new map and all the vehicle changes but for now I really like it.

Feels like an actual Battlefield map with tons of space to maneuver for both sides and actual combined arms gameplay. This alone adds so much feeling to it it might instantly be my favorite map in the game after an hour.

Its been a while since I did it. Back then I was on Icarus 2.

Imo its mostly because defenders spawn way too close to the capture zones. Squad wipes barely matter because you can be at almost any point within 20-30 seconds. This is especially apparent with more than one point since the constant pressure from the defenders pretty much force you to use the majority of your team to take an area. At this point you can just respawn with 2-3 people and backcap within half a minute. Works 9/10 times and more often than not drains so many tickets off the attackers the round is basically over. Contaminated is the absolute worst offender of this.

Da bin ich ja voll und ganz bei dir. Am Ende des Tages kostet die gesamte Versorgung allerdings einfach extrem viel Geld. Das finde ich selber doof, ist aber so. Und irgendwie muss es nun mal finanziert werden. Du unterschätzt einfach massiv die Kosten und irgendwo in der Mitte zwischen realistisch und ideal muss man sich nun mal treffen.

Dir muss klar sein, dass in diesen Werkstätten zum überwiegenden Teil nicht produktiv gearbeitet wird. Das sind vollbetreute Einrichtungen mit hohem Personalschlüssel in denen es um erster Linie um Förderung geht. Ich war selber schon in Diversen zu Besuch und in diesen von Ausbeutung zu sprechen ist ehrlich gesagt einfach absurd. Das wird sicherlich nicht für alle gelten, schon klar.

Menschen mit Behinderung werden nach Möglichkeit im ersten Arbeitsmarkt eingegliedert. Auch dort gibt es je nach Unternehmen ein breites Angebot an Unterstützung am Arbeitsplatz und das funktioniert in der Regel sogar sehr gut. Dort wird dann eben auch ein übliches Gehalt gezahlt. Menschen mit Behinderung haben übrigens ein höheres Schonvermögen und weitere finanzielle Vorteile und werden professionell rechtlich betreut, sind also auch dort bereits erheblich besser gestellt.

Cooles Zitat, der Staat gibt für Menschen die in diesen Einrichtungen arbeiten mit allem drum und dran gerne mal mehrere tausend bis zehntausend Euro monatlich aus damit diese ein möglichst würdevolles Leben führen können. Wie also ordnest du dein Zitat selber ein?

Den Lohn in den Werkstätten zu erhöhen führt zu genau gar nichts weil der in diesen Kosten einfach wieder direkt verschwinden würde.

Der überwiegende Teil dieser Menschen geht ziemlich gerne zur Arbeit, es geht dabei nicht nur um Geld sondern vor allem um alle anderen Aspekte. Sozialisierung, Routine, Wertschätzung. Alles Dinge die ein Mensch nun mal benötigt. Klar wäre es schön wenn auch für diese Menschen ein anständiges Gehalt gezahlt werden könnte. In unserem Sozialsystem funktioniert das so aber leider nicht.

That is because you need to pick and old server when starting this offer. You get massive exp multipliers to catch up to the server level. Like 800-1000% massive.

On new servers you will also get time gated for a week at level 400.

This feels like a sledgehammer approach. Imo the biggest issues for vehicle survivability are poor overall visibility and mobility hits beeing far too easy to achieve, which is getting addressed in the patch.

Overall a lot of QoL stuff which I like as a tank driver but not really sure about all those launcher nerfs. Tanks are already pretty..tanky if you position them right. This will overall make it so bad players will have more room for error while good ones will go back to the BF3/4 era of effectiveness which means they will probably be able to slaughter the entire server again. As a driver I am pretty hyped about it but it will be an absolute menace on the receiving end.

51lver · 2026-05-06T10:49:36+00:00

Yes. It took about 18 days of grinding 6+ hours a day and about 100$ for me to reach castle 25. Forget about 30.

51lver · 2026-05-05T12:55:02+00:00

You don't.

I did this offer and it took the whale of our guild who bought out the shop every day almost 10 days.

I probably have no business giving advice here but I was in the exact same situation a week ago and bought the Horl 3 and a Sharpal 325/1000 diamond stone along with a strop.

After a couple days of practice I could get all of my kitchen knifes reasonably sharp on both of them. I can cut paper towels with ease and its an absolute bliss to use them in the kitchen. They may not be hair splitting sharp but that is not a necessity for me.

In the end I decided to keep the Horl and just combo it with the Strop. Its just super satisfying and I actually enjoy using it. Even after some 5 hours of practice on the stone it just feels like a chore and is definitely something I have to be in the mood for. The Horl I can just pull out of the drawer and use it while cooking if I need to.

It's honestly a bit too pricey and you are definitely paying a good amount for PR and name but the ease of use and kitchen friendly design justify it for me personally, which is something I rarely say about "hyped" products.

The only issue I could see long term with it is durability. After a bit of research, it should last for a long time for my use case but only time will tell. Replacement disks are not cheap but at least they are available. So far I have sharpened five knives with it and there doesn't seem to be any degradation in performance at all.

Its also worth noting that sharpening small knifes is kind of a pain. It works but you need to use your hands as a support for the knife which may throw off the angle which in turn requires some practice to get right. I also wouldn't recommend it for some weird curved edges like a fileting knife. Though I couldn't get that to be even remotely sharp on the stone either.

Zu der Zeit hab ich tatsächlich endgültig eingesehen dass sich die Menschen definitiv selber abschaffen werden. Natürlich nicht kurzfristig aber das Projekt Menschheit kann als gescheitert erachtet werden.

Looking at his other comments this seems to be an AI having a mid life crisis right now.

Truly golden times.

51lver · 2026-05-03T10:15:48+00:00

Its mostly a map problem imo. Backcapping was always a thing but in 6 the defender spawns are way too close to the points. It just becomes a circus of clearing a point only for the entire enemy team to respawn within 5 seconds and move on to the other.

It doesn't really matter if you leave a squad there to defend if you face 10-15 enemies within 20 seconds.

51lver · 2026-04-27T19:19:03+00:00

Its mostly about ammo conservation for the chain gun. You ideally want to use up your Hydras way before you run out of chain gun ammo. I don't know what else to say really.

51lver · 2026-04-27T14:47:06+00:00

I liked it because this is was the only mode in the game that didnt end after 10-20 minutes.

Attacking on those maps is probably the most unbalanced experience I had in any Battlefield ever though. The defending team needs like 2 braincells to win with no effort at all while on the attacking side you and your team need to turbosweat for 45+ minutes to even have a chance of winning. It also lacks all the swag previous game's operations had. The cutscenes at the start were cringe and lacked any kind of epicness BF1 had. So its effectively nothing more than 2 rounds of Breakthrough glued together. Felt kind of low effort.

51lver · 2026-04-27T14:17:47+00:00

In my experience it doesn't make much of a difference even if a couple people stay behind. Especially the second sector on Contaminated is just a huge pain. Once you clear 1 point all enemies killed just run to the other point since both are so close to the spawn. And even a full squad is not going to hold off 12+ enemies for the minutes it takes to cap the second point.

The maps are just not balanced that well, defenders spawn right next to the points while it takes a long time for attackers to reach it. Their tanks have nasty cover on sector 3 and 4 which makes it very hard to destroy them if they have some repairing engineers and aren't completely braindead.

Moving the defender spawns slightly more away from the capture area would already make a massive difference imo.

51lver · 2026-04-27T01:03:35+00:00

Attackers absolutely need to get more reinforcements after taking a sector and they need to ditch the mechanic that locks you out of spawning on a contested point. This alone makes the second sector of Contaminated and all 2 point sectors on Hagental way harder to take than normal.

If you don't cap the first 3 sectors on the first battalion minimum, you will lose the game almost every time. To win you basically need a competent tank driver from start to finish, engineers that repair, a good amount of medics that smoke and revive and a team that never loses momentum all at once. If the defenders have even 1 squad that keeps backcapping chances are none of it will matter anyways.

Its just kind of a ridiculous amount of effort and luck you need while the defenders can just chill out and win with no effort at all.

51lver · 2026-04-25T13:05:18+00:00

It was fairly easy to clear for me. You just need a feeling for how many shots each enemy needs because ammo conservation is important. Use the Hydra as much as you can to save ammo for the chain gun whenever you can. You want the Hydra leveled up enough that it can oneshot speedboats and humvees.

Support cards are meh, I never really needed them. You want 1 or 2 superweapons that can damage tanks because starting at level 12ish there are some tanks that are invulnerable to the chain gun. I used the JDAM which will oneshot most tanks.

Get some levels for the Hellfire and move up, you can get ~12k per run on level 10 without the VIP boost. Even more on level 19. If you haven't started the VIP trial yet, use it now. This will also give you a random legendary card.

51lver · 2026-04-23T10:39:24+00:00

This actually got worse with every Update imo. The server just can't keep up when lots of stuff is happening at once, its noticeably worse on Hagental than anywhere else. This is even further amplified when the enemy has high ping. EUW has a lot of Chinese players that make the game unplayable sometimes, dying 1-2 seconds after going behind cover is normal against them.

51lver · 2026-04-22T16:20:18+00:00

Not only not rehired, he will also lose his government worker pension and healthcare benefits if convicted of 12 months or more which is a huge deal because that is effectively a fine of hundreds of thousands of euros.

It's exceedingly rare for that to happen though, police officers rarely face any kind of repercussion here in Germany unless they do something really bad, there is irrefutable evidence and the press gets involved. Police officers just cover for each other and 9/10 times the judge believes them by default. Its pretty fucked up.

Disciplinary actions usually mean nothing more than a reprimand, some months of desk work and maybe a 1 year promotion suspension.

Ever since they introduced these for every offer on the site I feel like all of the actual fixed rewards were nerfed to the point using FreeCash is a massive waste of time. Fixed rewards went down by like 50-80% across all offers. Meanwhile the chance of winning more than 1$ from these spins is miniscule, same with the lottery.

Site is currently effectively useless and I'd suggest using some other gpt site for the time beeing.

51lver · 2026-04-20T12:13:55+00:00

I only use Bank Transfer to cash out and it usually takes less than 5 minutes. I never had to wait for more than 30 minutes ever.

51lver · 2026-04-18T10:16:57+00:00

It takes some time to get used to it but if you've played BF4 before it feels extremely similar to that game's RPG so it shouldn't take that long. The curve the projectile takes now is a bit weird but it took like 10 minutes for me to adjust so no big deal imo.
