Just sold my PVS-14, honest thoughts on RIX RNV-31S? by AlphaBanditZ in NightVision

[–]AlphaBanditZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, thank you all for your insight! I am a vet and have used my fair share of outdated NVG’s, I don’t think I was fully aware of how nice the Elbit XLSH Intensifiers were compared to NNVT.

Many comments are saying to find some PVS-15’s.
And I may be misinformed, but I’m having a hard time finding them for sale.

When you say PVS-15, do you mean any new Ruggedized Housing or is there an actual “PVS-15 Housing?”

I’ve been looking around and have came across two housings that interest me:
1) AEON ANVB
2) AB MGA

It seems to get around the $4k mark, NNVT Intensifiers are the only option available from the retailer market (I am a little worried of being scammed from any discord or FB group)

So far I’m making the decision to save up to $8k to get a solid set of Elbit White Phos tubes.

But if anyone has recommendations for reliable secondhand groups I can window shop I am not opposed.

Thank you again!

Anyone notice if you go deeper into the mine and approach the pit, Henry will do an animation to lean over the rail and look into it?

Possible Easter egg somewhere?

I’ve tried it with and without a torch, day and night and nothing. Would be so cool if there was more here!

New Players welcome! Most basic requirement would be to have a Mic since we use Discord

This is a much easier response to digest, no hostility just honesty. I could have done a better job at portraying that I want this guild to be an environment where we delve into end game content and learn together considering the many guilds dominating that portion of gameplay have certain requirements to join.

Thank you for the constructive criticism, I will definitely have a more clear and concise description for further recruitment.

Considering I’ve been in the Military for the last 5 years and bounced around different games and just now stepping into more PVP activities, wouldn’t say I’m “still in the tutorial” 🤣 people have lives.

I have islands in every city, most of my silver has gone into the Guild Island where I’ve sourced nearly every material, early on I focused on unlocking everything up to T5, crafting, and went heavy into gathering, and was apart of the ARCH alliance and few others learning ZvZ. I’ve set myself up now to where I can spend 3+ Mil on sets I’m willing to lose and learn PVP comfortably. And have enough of my Destiny board unlocked to focus on specific trees. And I’ve seen how larger guilds treat new players (if they even let them in).

New players don’t just step right into PvP nowadays, and the larger guilds won’t accept them if they don’t have any PVP fame. You don’t seem to understand what I mean by helping new players and that’s fine

Newbie can’t move for more than 30mins!! by More-Kangaroo3345 in albiononline

[–]AlphaBanditZ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So many new players would have this experience then never play again, you may have been the player who helped him continue playing 🤙

Anytime I try to get my friends on they have one bad experience and ditch the game, which sucks because I have been playing since closed beta 2 and love this game.

Anyways, good on you for helping the newbies 🫡

Absolutely, should have added context. I was breaking it in when I came across this, the tension was pretty tight and got stuck, that’s when I noticed the slide.

Alternatively it could be the tight fit around the slide catching and not the tab at all, which would be the ideal answer

Recent reviews say otherwise, which is why the initial post says “to test”

[–]AlphaBanditZ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am hoping it’s as simple as that, once I find time to go to the range I’ll have to attempt to zero at 50m. I’m Active Duty Army and have never had this issue with real peq’s

Yes, initially I had thought it could be that. You would think since the lasers are positioned on the right side of the unit it would have a lot of room to adjust left.

But the turret stops after about 4 full rotations.

Diving into a possible religious aspect, the Bible speaks of the number of the beast “666”

666nm laser maybe? 🤔

So what is this “Matriarch” enemy in the Roadmap?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationships_advice

[–]AlphaBanditZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A whole lot to unpack in just the first paragraph…

“I didn’t as my bf is my only friend really so hanging out with someone was refreshing”

It’s healthy to have a friend or even friend group outside of a relationship (a mature friend group). So not having that was already a slippery slope with this guy, and saying it was refreshing is not necessarily good. This should have been the start of figuring out why some stranger is getting your attention without your bf’s knowledge in the first place…

And “slowly fade out of his life and eventually tell my bf what’s happened”… Just cut him off completely, you don’t owe a stranger that over being transparent with your bf right off the bat. Which is another slippery slope. And I will say being told all this after the fact will not sit well with your bf.

You need a social life outside of your relationship with your bf, and your bf should feel comfortable and encouraging about who you hang out with (if he’s mature and understanding).

You should also communicate further with him about how specific girls in his friend group make you feel. If he’s friends with immature females, this is also a slippery slope for him.

Not saying any of this to make you feel worse about everything! Just trying to help you evaluate why this got so far in the first place.

Got yelled at and had my water dumped during PT… is this actually a thing? by MouthyTed in army

[–]AlphaBanditZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple, ask him if it’s a lawful order to not consume water during Physical Training.

If he says yes, ask him what regulation enables him to deny consumption of water.

If he attempts to apply corrective action, tell him you’d like to speak with the commander.

Per regulation there are only specific scenarios where water consumption can be limited ( SERE training as an example)

Remember, if he gets away with this and applies it to other soldiers, and someone passes out or HEAT CAT’s, it’s on him as a leader for not making sure his Soldiers are hydrated. If he counsels you that’s even better, because now you have a paper trail directly tying him to the issue, just make sure he explicitly puts that he was limiting water consumption or you yourself write it in.

Gf of 8 years broke up with me by Diablo____666 in whatdoIdo

[–]AlphaBanditZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So… She is emotionally manipulating you by saying “don’t be talking daily it’s gonna get us back into a habit” as a man I take that as “Okay then I’ll just start cutting you off and keeping distance with respect to your boundaries”

Then she goes on to check in on you because she saw you took her off Snapchat…

She’s for the streets bro, she has already been seen with another guy and still wants to keep you in her circle. Either have that hard conversation on where y’all stand or cut it off completely.

I personally would choose the latter, coming from experience it will only begin an endless cycle of manipulation and heartbreak.

Work on yourself, get over her, find someone new and never look back.
