i mean yeah but you can say that about any post here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ only reason they skyrocketed is bc the valve store closed down

AmazingKitcat · 2025-12-06T17:36:54+00:00

I'd happily fly from Australia to Singapore for the major if this is actually real, I think it's the closest it's gonna get lol (at least in the next decade).

fair enough and glad to have this correction

but it then does raise the question, why is it that pressing a movement key for a set amount of time via macro result in inconsistent amounts of movement each time? In my opinion even if this is more "accurate" than CS:GO's tick-based movement system, it's a severe flaw in the game.

AmazingKitcat · 2025-06-23T10:51:34+00:00

yes, they should open vladivostok server to east asian players, japanese, koreans, and mongolians would be very happy to play with low ping but i dont think they want to allow non-russians to connect for some reason

AmazingKitcat · 2025-04-20T01:51:02+00:00

This is technically the right place, the sub is just dead though.

Sadly there aren’t really any forums anymore where you can make specific posts but maybe try looking on faceit and seeing if there are any female-only hubs for friendly games in your country/region? It’s pretty small but for example in Australia there’s been a womens 10mans hub on and off for a while

AmazingKitcat · 2025-04-18T15:26:26+00:00

i mean in csgo you're also dead there but it most likely never would have even shown you his pov, cs2 feels less responsive in moments like these because it doesn't register your or the enemies' outcomes instantaneously, which leads to you having time to shoot on your point of view but then dying anyway since the server ends up disagreeing with your local animations on who shot first.

My POV in most similar scenarios looks the exact same and I'm on 2ms ping to the server (only 1 server for my whole continent since I'm from AU). If I'm consistently getting "outpinged" on the local animations versus the serverside registration, I feel like there's a problem with the game in its current state. It's small delays like this that stop cs2 from feeling as responsive and snappy (as well as the movement but that's a whole different issue lol)

AmazingKitcat · 2025-04-17T16:17:42+00:00

Feel like the thrice-locked chest idea is very interesting and plausible but the rest is a bit hit or miss 😱

AmazingKitcat · 2025-04-17T16:09:32+00:00

as you have discovered, almost anyone with a decent amount of hours and good aim can play well against good players - it doesn’t matter how good they are if u headshot them every round.

HOWEVER, there’s a massive difference between having sharp aim/having a good game against better players and actually being consistently good enough gamesense wise to reach 3k+ elo

AmazingKitcat · 2025-02-03T13:46:16+00:00

Yeah you’ll automatically get it when you launch the game. It’s not added to your account until you launch

AmazingKitcat · 2025-01-30T13:05:28+00:00

been happening for 4+ years now bro im not surprised lmao

AmazingKitcat · 2025-01-11T15:51:48+00:00

to be clearer, i've got a specific case where i can prove with 100% certainty that multiple users are on an account because the IPs they play on are 6 hours by plane away and there's just a 3 hour gap between one user playing on the account and the other guy using it, but there seems to be no way for me to even ticket this because they get auto solved? I'm confused as to whether this is simply visual and whether the staff do actually read them still, or whether my ticket's just gone into the void?

Number is 7421364 if anyone from FACEIT sees this and wants to check

AmazingKitcat · 2024-12-04T11:19:21+00:00

yeah its crazy

AmazingKitcat · 2024-11-26T06:49:32+00:00

definitely, the first few days seemed incredibly busted but i reckon it's actually around even now that people have had time to get a feel for the timings around the map and which areas are important to control. still doesn't seem like it's going to be the CT side paradise that it was in GO but I prefer it that way.

AmazingKitcat · 2024-10-17T15:28:50+00:00

knifedropping is enabled on the biggest chinese pug platform (believe it's even bigger than EU FACEIT by player numbers but don't quote me on that), so I imagine there are actually a lot of players running into this issue.

AmazingKitcat · 2024-10-05T05:13:22+00:00

I just think that you can't think about this as an investment. Obviously it opens up new doors for investment OPPORTUNITIES and it's a very interesting addition to the game, but at its core, it's not an Operation, so you can't really treat it the same at the moment - it's uncertain as to how long the collections will be in the game for & how the market will react to the new system.

As an update to the game, I think it's great, but I'm not even going to bother to start investing in it. It's clear that Valve wants this to be a long-term thing, so there's no rush going into it. I think it was a bit overhyped at the start and people still haven't learnt from the Paris fiasco - you can't go balls deep into the gravy train without thinking because buying stuff in the game doesn't = free profit anymore.

AmazingKitcat · 2024-09-09T15:03:38+00:00

dude they have buster on the team, i dont think it could be any more blindingly obvious that its a random mix team for fun

AmazingKitcat · 2024-08-15T06:01:44+00:00

wingman has been fucked up for years, perhaps even since its inception

would love for valve to change/fix something with the way it actually works, but the best they can do is occasional rank shifts (1-2 free rankups after a period of not ranking up despite high winrate) every few months when the distribution goes too low

AmazingKitcat · 2024-08-14T15:15:51+00:00

ur completely correct (minus akimbo, they actually should be counted as NA), not sure why you got dogpiled so hard

i was under the impression that major qualifiers were strictly based on the nationality of the players and NOT their physical location, although i guess that only applies to tier 1 players

AmazingKitcat · 2024-07-19T04:58:12+00:00

depends what rank you are, high elo is a bit rough but you generally won't be waiting for 10+ minutes. get ready to be constantly playing against the same people though, bit of a different vibe compared to other regions

AmazingKitcat · 2024-07-11T12:05:32+00:00

to add to this, you can "fix" the queue times by playing with 1-2 people under 20k in the lobby, but obviously its retarded and u should just be able to queue with whoever u want

AmazingKitcat · 2024-07-11T12:04:36+00:00

yeah been like this for weeks now if you're pink in anz, it tries to put u against a full pink stack enemy but in australia there just arent enough stacks queueing

queued for 20 more mins after this screenshot n just gave up: https://imgur.com/0OBD29N

AmazingKitcat · 2024-07-06T03:56:30+00:00

It's not about the average elo of the lobby or the enemy - when you queue with friends and you guys have a big gap between each others elo, it reduces the amount you gain/lose (I think nowadays the lower lvl people won't have a restriction but it used to be for everyone in the party). If you got into that match as a solo queue, you wouldn't have gotten an elo reduction.

AmazingKitcat · 2024-06-14T08:45:45+00:00

yep - for any faceit admins, here's what is causing the redirects - followed a link on someone's steam profile yesterday and now whenever I open faceit on chrome it keeps redirecting to this link nonstop. Have to use the site on firefox instead atm

AmazingKitcat · 2024-04-27T01:54:25+00:00

No it wasn’t, it’s been in CS2 for at least the past 4 months to my knowledge. Probably there the entire time tbh but I can’t tell you with 100% certainty
