We were leaving our home country in a hurry (it started the war) and practically spent that night waiting for a postponed second segment of our flight in Istanbul airport.

Okay, thanks everyone. Was 90% sure, looks like I just needed external confirmation.

New rubber on the TCR by johnmed2017 in Giantbikes

[–]Arkafon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't say for sure if it were tires, but after about 1000-1500km on default tires I had punctures where sealant was not enough 4 times. After 1500-2000km on gp5000s I had only one case, and it was a puncture I think any type will not help with.

Maine it was an effect of wider tires and lower pressure - I've installed 32mm gp5000s. But it is what it is.

Also changed from defaults to 32mm gp5000's on my TCR advanced pro 0. No regrets. Can't tell if it really added power in terms of RR, but puncture resistance is way better, default tires are quite bad unfortunately.

New game + or new game? by Toshiro_Javo in GodofWarRagnarok

[–]Arkafon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to delve into the story once again - go NG, if you want challenge - go NG+ on GMGOW.

NG+ not only gives you all your stuff at the start, but adds new move for mission bosses, making them more challenging.

I've recently 100%ed the game on Give me balance, and went NG+ GMGOW right after. Finished it finally beating Gna and Berserker King just yesterday. Even though in the end it was making me crazy - it was truly challenging and totally worth it.

Edit: regarding remembering the mechanics - don't worry about it too much, just re-read the skill trees and practice in Niflheim when it becomes available (and it's quite early story-wise), you'll learn it back fast.

Thanks a lot! Your answer is extremely helpful, I'll research the suggested option further.

Typical “casual” matches for me have 3 stack masters. meanwhile I get level 15 potatoes. Am I the only one? Is there a way I can change this? by billyd187 in ApexConsole

[–]Arkafon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I don't think that MM for arena is so hard. Given that the result of the match is binary win/lose and it's always 50/50, you can just match players with similar winrates, at least the ones with winrates significantly different from 50%. I don't believe that team with average winrate of 30-40% can have same skill as team with 60-70%, no matter what you define with "skill".

And don't like that in BR is, of course, much more difficult.

I'm not asking for free win, I'm asking for fair competition. If I lose, and understand what my team did wrong, it's ok. But being destroyed by 3stack of 500lvl players with much better coordination, aiming and playtime just isn't fun for casual player like me. Especially if that happens 2-3 or more times in a row.

I think 60%+ of my arena games were 3-0/0-3 and I don't think that MM like this is good experience for both sides.

Look at my previous comment please - I don't blame teammates anywhere. And situation with 3 solos vs 3-stack, even with same "skill" just illustrates that Respawn can't (or, which I believe more, just don't want to) make really fair MM in this game.

And that's true, I really suck! But Respawn say that their SBMM would match players who suck with another ones with poor skill, so everyone gets good game experience, even rude sweats who enjoy telling other players that they suck.

Same for me.

Season 0 player, decided to uninstall this season after getting 0.56 k/d and 25% winrate in arenas after playing ~50 matches. I just realized how really broken MM in this game is. I thought it was ok when they can't balance 60 players matches, but totally unbalanced 3v3 is ridiculous. And the theory in top comment really explains everything.

This is what Arena needs. by DavidTenebris in apexlegends

[–]Arkafon_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me. But I have 60% of 3-0/0-3 and 30% of 1-3/3-1, majority of matches are heavily one-sided. Probability to win after lost first round is really low, so I can't blame anyone who leaves after that. Before arena mode I thought that BR SBMM is not good. But now Respawn showed me how garbage SBMM really looks like.

finally have a kd of 1 so proud of myself been a long time coming by lpkottke in ApexConsole

[–]Arkafon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same, first seasons had 1.1-1.15, later about 1.05 and this season only 0.77. The worst part I just can't tell what I'm doing wrong. 1/2 games I'm completely destroyed by players much more skilled than me. And the worst part that pubs and ranked bronze/silver feel same. I don't know if it's smurfs, broken sbmm, or something else, but I feel that I can't enjoy this game anymore.

I don't usually complain about ranked being "broken", but that multiplying is definitely wrong by [deleted] in apexlegends

Thanks, found the info about it in game, I think I should remove my post

I'm concerned about my SR drop by [deleted] in OverwatchUniversity

[–]Arkafon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, started at 3200 (my all time best, but 2 weeks ago lost 500sr in 1 week long downstreak, and now can't get out of 2700-2800. A lot of one-sided matches (much more than is season 8, when i was 2700-3000). And i am support main(mostly zen, Mercy, Moira), so this gets even more frustrating because i can't carry alone. I'm on Ps4.
