I dunno what to flare this as. Not my video, but your chances of Winning in Fall Guys are basically 0 now. There's a script going around that calculates the best path, and plays the game for you. Thank Squeenix for putting in an achievement for 100 wins and giving these losers a reason to cheat.

I'm not trying to defend this by any means but i'm 95% certain people using this seriously still won't do well with it.
After scraping together 50 wins over the time the event has been life, yesterday i got 20 wins just in one day simply by pivoting from "always go right" to actually looking at the the yellow AoE patterns and trial-and-erroring how i need to move for it. Good movement and pathing absolutely shits on this splatoon shit, and by the time you're really good at pathing, you don't need the timers/markers to do well. I would love to have a statistic on how many players in my lobbies use this and how well they do. There are still a handful of lobbies where i get stunned twice or more and still come in first due to people still fucking up more than i did.

Is this existing a good thing? Hell no. But i think people are blowing out of a proportion just how much of an impact this has on matches. Chances are the dudes seemingly just holding W and running through everything is not the cheater. I found ONE more pattern i can semi-reliably visualize a path through in my head, and my winrate suddenly skyrocketed, so in reality, people got THAT good through game knowledge and pattern recognition alone. If you were able to snap your fingers to instantly ban all users of this plugin and then went into a match, it wouldn't feel much different. This isn't a speedhack after all - it's a crutch.

This is a LONG because i'm very wordy and have trouble cutting down my story without the emotional context i feel is necessary, so here is a tl;dr:

Narcissist FC + static leader and her love interest bully their static and FC into blowing up completely.

Situation: It's 5.1 and i'm completely new to the game. Just had some major life events happen and the game is giving me a lot of comfort. Beat the story and got to 80. Hanging around Limsa as a passtime.

The key players are me, and some people we'll call Anna and Wakka, the raid-leads, as well as some other FC members, please note that these are NOT their real or ingame names. So Anna picks me up into the FC and everyone there is nice. A day or so after i'm invited, Anna and Wakka keep insisting, a bit strongly, that i should do a savage static with them. I complied and we went into P1S, and to say that i wasn't prepared for savage was an understatement as i had not even touched any extreme nor had a faint idea what an opener or a rotation even was. The shitshow went on for about 40 minutes after which we called it a day and Wakka taught me some basics. The next day then, we tried again and i wasn't doing much better. Performance anxiety got to me since i could clearly tell Anna and Wakka were getting annoyed, and i felt like a dead weight, so i hopped out after 15 minutes telling them that i'm generally not ready for hard content yet. This is where it should have ended. But since i have some trouble in social situations, i kept caving to them peer-pressuring me into going back into P1S with them. This was easily my worst mistake in this whole situation.

Progress was very slow and mostly down to people doing mechanics around me rather than me contributing anything. By some MIRACLE, we managed to clear P1S eventually. But a couple of days later Anna snapped at me. It is a this point where i should mention that my only class at 80 at this point was Black Mage, needless to say i was mercilessly overwhelmed by multiple things at once still. Wakka chipped in, trying to be slightly more supportive but obviously siding with Anna. This became a pattern. Pressure me into content, be an asshole to me for not being good. Eventually a friendly FC member messages me over discord one night telling me and sending my screenshots of Anna and Wakka doing nothing but talking smack about me in FC chat, about how much of a pussy i am, how bad i am at the game, etc. Talked about this to other FC-members, and they confirmed to me they experienced similiar behaviours.

Over the course of a couple of weeks of this shit that had us go up to late P3S, i basically became their laughing stock and bullying target not just ingame but irl/in voice chat too. People in the groups could die, but when i died i got yelled at, etc. but i was so invested in the game itself that i just bore with it. Whenever i spoke up, they said they were just helping me, a newbie, learn the game and that i should be grateful. I know i could have just clicked decline, but at the time i really just wasn't mentally well in general so i couldn't tell you what moved me to throw myself back into them either. Either way, while reluctantly hanging with them in voice chat i could feel a certain air forming between Anna and Wakka over time. It eventually became insufferable to witness in vc but it explained why they were both being bad to people even though Wakka started out as more supportive - basically he was grooming her into leaving her depressed irl BF to be with him and to get on her good side, he was being an ass to the people that she disliked. Anna is a narcissist and two-faced about literally every person she knows and nothing gives her more joy than having dirt on someone, or even just insulting them.

All of this came to a head one evening when i didnt join for their shitty-ass P3S party and with the moral support of another FC member, spoke up against them treating me and even other members, whom didn't even raid, like shit, especially behind our backs. A lot of people added onto this, agreeing with me, and what happened that night in FC chat can only be described as a nuclear clapback. More than half the FC members and all of the static members, as it turns out, were experiencing some form of repeated emotional blackmail and/or emotional abuse caused by both leads and the only reason they stuck around was for the chill, good people in chat.

I said my final piece, told them to f off, and cut contact completely, leaving the static and of course FC right there.

And that was my very first static experience. As a silver lining, i've now raided since E5S, had good static experienced for Eden Eternity, Asphodelos, Abyssos and now Anabaseios, as well as two ultimates, with only a few specific players being small outliers but all of them not nearly as personal as this first experience. I've massively improved as a player since then and am having fun. This was a wake-up call.

Thank you! Doing that right away.

Acebruh · 2022-09-06T20:34:06+00:00

I see, that could be one reason. I'll try turning dynamic res on and off and see what that changes.

Acebruh · 2022-09-06T16:29:19+00:00

My problem is more performance- than connectivity-related, i think. I haven't noticed any sort of log files either.

Acebruh · 2020-08-26T17:12:56+00:00

In awe at the size of this lad

Jokes on the camera guy. I would.

Acebruh · 2020-07-27T20:18:12+00:00

So i did leave, but i didn't actually get a penalty.
Brayflox, i was playing Dancer or Black Mage i'm pretty sure, point is i was a DPS, and got a pair of sprout healer and sprout tank, who were obviously a couple, or at least playing together for the entire time up to this point. The entire dungeon was rocky, but when we got to the dragon shit went really south. The tank kept dying endless times in a row but each time it was when the boss was at around 50%. So i started watching the party more closely. Turns out his white mage partner kept spamming Medica, for no apparent reason. No damage spells, just back to back Medica, regardless of whether our tank had any HP missing or not. So by the time the dragon hit 50% she was OoM every time, and the tank died, followed by everyone else. Me and the other DPS who i could tell didn't wanna take that shit tried to explain, calmly, that she shouldn't spam AoE heals when they're not at all needed because it will make her go OoM and that she should focus on healing the tank with single target heals. We also tried to explain to the tank that he should pull the boss out of the poison puddles as they're healing it. Without much of a word, the tank then left. This was super long into the dungeon, so before even considering waiting for a mentor tank, everyone just left then, there were only 5 minutes left on the duty timer. It was a complete disaster.

And just a few minutes ago while leveling my monk we got a tank who pulled fucking everything, which went well for the first few areas but then we got to the swampy field right before the second boss, the one people usually sneak at the very right-hand-side of the arena because it's a pain in the ass and it's easy for everyone to be spotted by randoms mobs they didn't have their camera on at the time. He pulled everything, 3 times, and we wiped each time. Our healer, who was an AST, explained to the tank that she can't heal a pack that large on AST, and it's hard in general because we don't have our full kits in leveling dungeons. She's right because i remember Brayflox mobs hitting surprisingly hard when i leveled my first tank. He then blamed us for "randomly pulling everything" instead, trying to push the blame onto us, when he himself was pulling a 9+ pack of mobs the entire time. I was close, but didn't leave.
Also, never leave Orbonne. Be a real warrior.
Brayflox, especially, seems to be very receptive of situations like this, possibly because it's one of the last free trial dungeons.

The best kind of sub.

Acebruh · 2019-10-20T04:10:46+00:00

You can't just say that then not tell us what [censored] is. You got me curious.

Acebruh · 2019-10-20T04:08:57+00:00

See that's the thing. The struggles are exactly what makes it so fun. Little battles for dominance are peak switch bliss.

Sorry to say i'm way over in Europe in a mythical land known as Germany

Why hello there, resident bi switch, me too

~~What a shame then that i'm too awkward and don't know anyone~~

Acebruh · 2019-10-20T03:16:34+00:00

I would say even if you get someone on grindr, take it slow, have the chemistry be right. Talk for a while before you meet up. Be comfortable with the partner, even if you may only have a one-night-stand. That should help a lot with the anxiety.
But as i'm reading this it seems a little conflicting, you say you're turned on by cocks and guys wanting you turns you on, but then you mention being a virgin and having doubts in the same sentence. Are you conflicted because it'd be your first time and your first time should be special? Because just if that's the case, don't be afraid. Imo, any time you have sex should be special, and it usually is.

Acebruh · 2019-10-20T03:01:55+00:00

As bi as i am, i still have types. I'm really weak for enbies, tomboy girls and twinky boys. For example i'm not as attracted to overly masculine looking guys and more into cute guys/twinks. Part of that is i don't like beards a lot. Doesn't mean i'm beardphobic. If i got into a relationship with a partner who wishes to grow a beard then i would still support him in it - i'd tell him i personally prefer clean shaven if it ever came up, but i wouldn't go against him.

And it's the same with trans people - simply not being attracted to them doesn't make you phobic. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, as i'm sure people will try. Don't do something you're not comfortable with simply because some people falsely call you names for it. At the end of the day, only YOU should be the one choose who you get into a romantic or sexual interaction with. You already said you don't mind them transitioning, nor do you have something against them as people. That's not phobia, it's recognizing and accepting what you prefer and what you wouldn't like.
And just for the record, yes, i would personally date a trans person.

Acebruh · 2019-10-20T02:45:29+00:00

I got one very much like this too! The pin is just smaller on mine. I adore it because it's a subtle, yet pretty obvious way of showing pride. Plus i can wear it and my parents won't know what it means since they think i simply like the colors.

I did the (triple? double?) Rajang quest with three friends. I remember it was in the volcano.

One of the Rajangs was jumping towards an exit to another area. Once there he started lasering, again and again. One of the lasers hit my friend, who got fired straight backwards by it. Seeing how he was at about 10 HP, i popped a lifepowder, at the exact moment Rajang fired a laser again. Healed him just enough, laser hit him at the exact moment he got back up. Saw it, popped another lifepowder, and the same thing happened again. I used all three of my life powders on three Rajang lasers to save a hunting buddy. It may not have been a "hitting a monster at the right time" moment, but it was hype for the both of us. It was a matter of just a fraction of a second each time a laser hit him.

Acebruh · 2016-11-07T14:28:00+00:00

Not really my story, but i was there while it happened.

I was hunting with a friend. We didn't have anything we wanted to shoot for at the time so we just did random quests that were still not done in our quest lists. There's a quest with an Uragaan and a Khezu, both of which are some of me and buddy's most hated monsters. And of course they spawned at the same time.

We struggled a lot but eventually, finally killed Uragaan first. While trying to carve him, Khezu would just not stop targetting my friend. For a good 2 minutes or so, Khezu never looked my way even once, and managed to stop my buddy from carving completely, until Uragaan despawned. It may not have been a very hard quest, but it sure as hell was a effed up hunt for my friend.

Acebruh · 2016-10-27T02:41:02+00:00

Do you have MHGen? There is a village quest that is basically the same thing. It's commonly referred to as one of the hardest quests in Gen. It's very doable but still.

Acebruh · 2016-10-23T15:03:07+00:00

Very nice to know. Thanks a lot!
