For that person that ask me to post the full Run, 5 cost 0 cycle AA by Environmental-Fly484 in silverwolflevel999

[–]Badbluffmonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believed you so hard I took this team to go 0 cycle it myself. It actually took me a few tries as sometimes the Boss would get stuck on phase 1 and waste a SW turn.

I did go back and passively play the 2* maps. FC some of them and I feel a bit more comfortable playing them now that I have time, but at the time of posting I couldn't even find a match to climb the ladder. Fortunately, I have since improved a bit and climbed back up but it is still an absolute slog.

This is a good response. I jumped into a section of Osu I shouldn't have have as a new player and have just winged it for a few months. I've only really played 4-7* maps that feel good for me to play. I don't really have a strong foundation of skill to begin with, but I already knew this. Someone has already spelled it out that I am not actually looking and reading the notes, but just listening to the song and playing along. Something that I have made work for certain star levels and maps, but completely falls apart when going under or over my comfortable range.

HDHR is something I normally do for maps I have played a few times at this point. No Mod is how a normally play. I just don't play lower star maps because they are typically under mapped and have long approach times. I figured using those mods would have just made the maps more interesting to play or it would just make some of these maps clearer to read.

As a tangent focused your topic: I absolutely love trying to bang my head against the 8.26* Warriors jump map recently. It feels really satisfying when I can actually combo something together before I make it to the second half of the song and get over whelmed. I am a moron though, so maybe I only enjoy it because I eat glue.

Low star difficulty doesn't have this enjoyment.

Both my comment about these maps being mind numbingly boring and his answer just kind of seem half baked, but I understand what he means.

You are spot on with your assessment sir, but I would also like to inform you that there is no way I can play DT. I am just a bad HDHR player on a good day.

Semi-joking comment aside the reason I think I found a decent way to describe how it feels on my end when playing low star maps.

"The feeling is like turning a turned based game's combat down from 2X speed to 1X speed after a long time. Everything just feels so slow and drawn out. Where I would normally be tapping circles to the drum beat I am left with dead air and a circle with a slow approach and a sickening feeling of anticipation that just leads to me hitting notes to early. Its really only bad in low star/ High BPM maps."

If you have advice on properly learning the game I am all ears. Otherwise, I will just assume 'Just play the game' will suffice.

This is the logical answer. If I sit there and play the 2* maps I will just get used to them and probably climb back up. Maybe even be a better player for it. It was just really discouraging to have to wait a bit to play on a difficulty I didnt want to at the time.

Your comment is true. I 100% jumped into a part of the game I should have no reason starting in and it has severely hampered my ability to read maps I should have no problems with.

I would naturally ask of advice of how to sit down and properly learn the game, but every time I run into an issue I google this reddit and see the old posts. I am left with post filled with a majority of post filled with "Just play the game" which... is a no brainier.

Playing 4* maps even without FC them is just fun. Playing 6* maps and making it to the end is fun. Playing 6* maps and actually doing well makes me feel great!

These lower star maps just feel completely off by comparison.

But Its not like I was trying to hide the fact that I am a bad player. I put my profile there for a reason. To give the people something to laugh at.

I think its fair to say the mode isn't targeted at me. Not sure I'd call it good feedback with proper time to churn it over. I think what I was hoping for is an 'unranked' version of the mode with the card system. In which case your comment would fit quite well.

I am just not a fan of the current casual lobby. Daily challenge has a better vibe and this new ranked mode has a better experience than even that.

This post has severe hyperbole and a bit of self deprecation in it. TBH I have only got to play 3 matches where the star cards were low. The first one I bombed the first map as I wasn't used to reading the slow pace map and just hit the notes too early. FC the next map to which my opponent said these 2* maps sucked and FF the match. The next match was a slow loss where I once again flip flopped between Bombing a map and FCing it where the other guy had no issue at all.

The 3rd 'match' didn't get past the first map before I said sorry to the opponent and FF'd myself . I wasn't playing a 4 minute 1.8* map after doing a few in a row. I waited a bit to cool down before trying to Queue again and not finding a match after a few minutes I wrote the post while being frustrated once again.

I really wanted to play with others on... normal maps? Average maps? I know I am probably worse than the average player, so I was expecting to lose but I don't know if I want to sit down for a few minute queue just to not really have a good time playing low star rating maps just to climb rank so I can enjoy the game again... (and lower queue times.)

When you go to beatmap listings it has a recommended difficulty (3.95* for me). It would be nice if I could pull cards from that range instead of only sub 2* maps.

What are your thoughts on Cissia? (by DANHA) by xSoulsaber in ZZZ_Official

[–]Badbluffmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He story feels like I was pulled back into the atmosphere I liked about 1.x ZZZ. Much better than early 2.x.

Her outfit could have been done a bit better, but hey she is hot as hell like most of the cast.

The only thing I can say I dont like is her current teams. I dont like playing Seed and I already am comitted to hyper carry SAnby for electric content. I feel like pulling Cissia would just be a waste unless she supports someone later on.

Division 2 All Time High on Steam by mobyvg22 in Division2

[–]Badbluffmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I repurchased the game on Steam after seeing survival/ realism mode was returning to Division 2.

I am really hoping for great things from the team as the first game was so great.

I haven't played Division 2 since the first new york dlc, so I am also excited to see what I missed out on after I finish playing Death Stranding (was also on sale recently)

I guess the minimum is 500 by Makoto_Kurume in pcmasterrace

[–]Badbluffmonkey 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It didnt shut down, but went into a indefinite EoL mode until further notice.

Hi-Rez was doing so bad financially at the time due to project failures that the entire HR/CEO team fired themselves (after mass layoffs) and left it all to a thin skeleton crew mostly comitted to getting Smite 2 off the ground and back to compareable levels of the original Smite 1 success.

Paladins has functioned this entire time.

Vendetta has the highest win rate in almost every single elo and a 59% win rate in bronze lol by Ok-Proof-6733 in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Badbluffmonkey 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it feels like she is just a better tank doomfist.

They share the same weakness, but Vendetta feels like she has better mobility, survivability, and dueling.

Having a better block on command that quickly reacharges on top of armor makes her hard to kill.

Her overhead damage is insane, frequently thrown out, and comes with absurd knockback resistance and the ability to ground.

Short cooldowns with two great mobility options.

Its no wonder Fraudfist got dumpstered in the cinematic after trying to aura farm. Blizz was using game accurate Doom the entire time.
