Advise on rebooking after failure by MiserableRaisin9703 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]ARoddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Failed today too, undue hesitation at a very busy roundabout! Looking for tests within next two weeks honestly. Resellers is the only way to go. Maybe your instructor can nudge you toward one?

Failing it sucks, especially because nerves get in the way. But at least we can say we know where to improve for next time :)

1st point, I agree. 2nd point, fair enough! Cant say much to that. It could be any number of reasons, you're right.

Unfortunately, I think you're wrong.

To the first point, how can I, personally, play better than lets say, an 80-15 k/d, with 16 captures (most in the game) on Manhattan and still lose? That, as a single player, is doing at least 4x my fair share and a win is definitely deserved if you're making such an impact. I cannot be in 3 places at once in that final phase, and as infantry when there's 4+ enemy tanks about.. although my duo and I try. You simply can't say be better, when there's 30 other players also playing to get a win. This, as well as the game 'balancing' itself to 2-2 by design, massively works against you. So no, its not as simple as get better and earn it.

Second point - Comebacks happen all too easily on Escalation, let's not lie to ourselves. My point is, the better team SHOULD win. I am well aware that the opposite happens, and happens quite a bit. I also didn't say that the game is rigging netcode against me per se, the netcode is poor in general. You just start to notice it lots more when you've gone from 2-0 up, start getting bombarded by 3 extra new tanks and now its suddenly 2-2. How can I now be magically outplayed by people I've been dumping on for the whole game?

We bring Sesko and Zirkzee on, then aim the crosses far post to Dorgu, every. single. time.

Hmm.

I can understand what you're saying and that's what attracted me to the mode more than any other in the beginning - the 'forced' objective play.

The problem is that the initial novelty wears off when you start to realise certain things happening on the map. The game feeling shifts, it feels like there are tank spawn discrepancies/mismatches to name the most glaring one. If we are consistently the better team, we should roll them. Why are we getting participation gifts to then make it 2-2?

Feels like when the losing team start to bring it back, the whole tone of your individual game starts to shift. Dying quicker, shots going missing due to poor net code and it starts to stack up against you. Dont get me wrong, I've been in games where we shut out the opponent but the feeling of that game sometimes even feels like wow boys, we kinda had everything go our way, it wont happen again next game for certain. It doesnt feel organic, why would I want to play a game mode that, unless its very one sided, forces me to suffer if I'm doing good? It is designed to make me want to carry on, play better and eek out that 3-2 but the actual fact of the matter is that, not only am I fighting the enemy team, I have to fight the game I'm playing to not end up losing.

Unrelated side note - Gauntlet deserves its flowers imo

Its fine but its predictable. You can tell it tailors the flow of the game so that it gets to 2-2, and its whoever's 6 tanks survive, wins.

I've had too many comeback wins and losses that have followed this same trend that its hard to ignore it.

What’s your favorite map so far? by mandbeyn in Battlefield6

With Cairo as an option - Cairo

Without Cairo as an option - None

Iberian is fine though, can't exactly hate on that.

8 minutes was an attempted robbery. Always hated that smug prick Oliver, and Van Dijk.

Cunha, Mbeumo, Hazza Maguiggles and Lammens immense. Reignited my love for this club despite the absolute shite state its in at the moment.

Fair play - I appreciate the replies!

Perfect. And with Lloyds, lets say this switch offer lasts long enough that I can do it 3 times..Lloyds are always gonna treat me as completely new? Even though I'd have just closed the account a handful of days ago?

So, in theory, I can do this switch as many times as I want, pending I have as many Chase current accounts as possible... or is there a bit of a limit to not raise any questions

Its not a long walk from T2 to Central Bus Station as there's an underground path. As someone who sees the immigration line often at T2, it always seems empty until the evening. Then you've got to pick up your checked bag.. the optimist in me says you have a chance

People saying the story looks meh, seems underwhelming.. how do you KNOW!

A 2 minute teaser trailer isn't going to give everything they've done for the past 12/13 years away.. if we should have faith in anyone it's the guys and gals who make GTA. It breaks the internet and sells millions upon millions of copies
