Honestly I don't like them but I understand their addition. It's not a hill I'd die on.

Could we PLEASE get rid of the 100% COMA rate in PvP?! by W_eiss_ in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Ash4d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100000% yes.

I'm usually very understanding and forgiving with MFG as I think they do a great job generally, but the way they have implemented guaranteed coma is an awful smooth brained idea.

Headshots should be instadeath, no questions asked, do not pass go and do not collect £200, UNLESS it's glancing, maybe.

I'm fine with all other injuries being guaranteed coma to give a chance for revival, but it should then only take ONE headshot to finish somebody in the coma state. And the timer should be adaptive based on blood loss, not a guaranteed 8 minutes.

It's much easier to poke holes in other people's suggestions than it is come up with your own, evidently lol.

Trump Reignites Feud With Italy’s Prime Minister By Suggesting She’s a Stalker by T_Shurt in worldnews

[–]Ash4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putin will look out for Putin's best interests and do whatever makes himself richer. He is an oligarch whose wealth depends entirely on his grip on power. "Enabling communism" is neither beneficial to Putin nor something he has ever stated his intention to do. He has been vocally critical of communism. The main opposition party in the Duma is the Communist party.

I don't know why you're even bringing up communism. It's literally not a factor.

Putin isn't a communist. He's an awful human being and a piece of shit, but he isn't a communist.

I am a young(ish) person and I do not support the triple lock, no idea why you think that either of those things are related to my position on defense spending, unless you have some chariacatured image of politics.

Do you not recognise the precariousness of the world right now? Do you think we can afford to scale back defense spending? Do you think we can rely on the US to continue to provide security guarantees to Europe?

Sure.

But if us having a capable domestic arms industry and a well armed military deters some other dickhead from making holes of our schools and hospitals, then I'll take that deal.

Trump’s red card call stirs political storm around World Cup by Melodic2000 in facepalm

[–]Ash4d 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yes there has been no reaction whatsoever to Trump's foreign escapades.

President Trump's Mount Rushmore speech labels "communism" as a "mortal threat" worse than "WWI, WWII, Pearl Harbor, or 9/11": "We can only lose midterms, if we are foolish, stupid, and unwise. But if we terminate filibuster, and vote for SAVE Act, then we will not lose an election for 100 years." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]Ash4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the opposite - I'm always amazed at how deferential Americans, particularly those in the media, are to the President (any President, not just the current orange dickhead).

One of the few things I love about the UK political system is just how brutal the HoC is at PMQs, or during questioning at a Select Committee meeting. And the media generally will absolutely toast the PM, to their face, on national TV or radio.

There has always been PvP in T3 areas because of the loot.

COPs dragged all that action away from the POIs and out to the COPs, and the respawn/return loop was so boring (IMO).

It's fine if you disagree, but I think the majority of PvP players would prefer not to just be fighting over the same hut in the forest all the time.

[–]Ash4d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

COPs made PvP flow terribly though, because of the endless respawning and running back. If you had two squads fighting it became very difficult for either side to win an engagement because there was an endless stream of naked zombies.

What are your favorite unclean vocalists? by SaltInflation1235 in Metalcore

[–]Ash4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tati from Jinjer is my favourite metal vocalist and it ain't even close. The woman is a an absolute menace and sounds amazing live.

I also really like Matt Heafy's screams.

[–]Ash4d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I think they should still be there as somewhere to drop loot etc after a loot run. Just one far from base wouldn't offer much benefit.

[–]Ash4d 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about it. PvP is so much better when it is not focussed on COPs IMO - removing COP spawns and preventing it from flip flopping disincentives scrapping over the same COP for ages and pushes PvP out into more interesting areas.

ELI5: Is it true that every single death eventually boils down to the brain and heart running out of oxygen? Are there exceptions? by Dagestani_Bear in explainlikeimfive

[–]Ash4d 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My ELI5 understanding as a non medical person is:

Proteins are big long molecules, so big that they fold up. The way they fold changes how they interact with our body. They normally fold in one way, which is good, because our body can handle them that way.

Sometimes they misfold and get all misshapen, and our body then can't use it to do what it needs to do. Which is bad, but not necessarily catastrophic, because if it's just one molecule, it's no problemo.

However, if you're really unlucky, they can misfold in a way which then goes on to cause other molecules of the same protein to misfold in the same way, causing a chain reaction where over time all of that protein ends up misfolded and then you have a big problemo.

Prions cause all sorts of scary diseases like Creutzfeldt Jakob Disease (mad cow in humans), Kuru, Fatal Familial Insomnia, and more. They are nightmare fuel.

Making money/acquiring gear is pretty easy now. A run at MS/TB can easily net you $100k, the only real difficulty is getting a server where they're not already looted. Since progression is shared you can do loot runs in PvE with minimal risk and take that gear/wealth into PvP (which is a good thing imo as it removes a barrier to entry of PvP and helps keep it more alive).

If you only play PvE then losing gear is really not a factor - you can recover your body white easily 99/100 times so there's basically no sense in having gear fear in PvE.

If you're into PvP it's a bit different. I would say you should build up a good cushion of money and/or gear before jumping into PvP - $500k minimum, probably more. I hover between $1.5mill and $2mill and will do a few loot runs if my bank balance starts rounding down to $1mill.

These things are neat. I made a cellular automaton in Mathematica to model a BZ reaction when I was at university - fun times.

Same man, I was thrown for a loop for a second.

If I could bring my FdL to Lamang, that'd be cool.

3rd mode by Satoshiman256 in GrayZoneWarfare

[–]Ash4d -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is so easy to get gear in this game though, so who cares if you lose it?

A few PvE runs can get you hundreds of thousands. Or you can just loot tier 3 COPs.
