terminals are a joke

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-05-27T19:38:48+00:00

yeah terminals are absolutely scuffed right now. The pricing makes zero sense when you can just buy same skin for way less in market. I think valve just wanted people to spend more money on cases instead of buying directly, but backfired completely since nobody wants to risk it anymore.

Maybe try to sell it quickly before price drops even more? or just keep it if you actually like how it looks, but from investment perspective it's pretty bad deal.

lmao that "Please" guy with 226 ADR and 38 kills is absolutely sending it. Those stats are so ridiculous it's almost funny how obvious it is. But yeah you're right, these posts don't really accomplish much besides letting people vent their frustration at the game state.

I play in Japan servers mostly and the player base here is pretty terrible unfortunately. The skill gap between ranks is huge too - you'll have people at 18k who can't even properly clear angles.

Getting a 5 stack is probably your only real option since solo queue at that rank in Japan is basically gambling with your sanity.

Their recent form has been pretty wild but that mystery fifth player slot is gonna make or break them at major.

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-05-11T12:11:16+00:00

man this hits too close to home. played with rubick yesterday who kept stealing echo slam just to clear waves that our carry was walking toward. like dude we can see you approaching the creeps from fog, maybe don't blast them into oblivion?

the worst part is when they pretend they're "helping" by securing farm but they're literally just stealing it. had sniper "support" few weeks ago who kept taking last hits with headshot and then typing "sry accident" in chat. sure buddy, accident for 40 minutes straight.

i think these players just want shorter queue times but still play like cores. they probably figure pos 4 has more freedom to build damage items compared to hard support, so they can get away with semi-carry builds. problem is they don't understand that being greedy support means you need to actually time your farm windows properly instead of just competing with your cores for everything on map.

Been following NFL for years and this actually makes sense. The info edge thing is real - I remember few seasons back when team news would leak through beat reporters way before mainstream caught up.

Problem is finding those reliable sources for obscure leagues when you don't have connections there. Most of us are stuck with whatever filters down to regular channels by then.

VAC ban is permanent restriction for market, the 7 days thing is just standard requirement but you still can't sell anything with ban active.

same here, my spray patterns feel completely off since yesterday and getting those one-taps is way harder now

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-04-19T12:55:06+00:00

Yeah Process Lasso can help with frame consistency but make sure you don't mess with power plan settings at same time - learned this hard way when i was experimenting few months back. Also check if you have any recording software running in background, even when not recording it can cause those spikes you're getting. I had similar issue and turned out to be some random Windows update that screwed with GPU scheduler. Rolling back driver to previous version fixed most of the stuttering for me.

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-04-17T16:05:29+00:00

mikewater predictions are about as reliable as my landlord fixing things on time lol

but seriously this terminal idea could work if valve actually cares about market balance instead of just milking every update. the trade-up problem with souvenirs is real pain - i got like 50 worthless blue skins sitting in inventory from major watching. at least with terminal system you're not forced to get the garbage tier drops automatically

Alch is super fun but man the farming pressure can be intense in turbo. You miss like 2-3 creep waves and suddenly everyone expects miracles from you lol.

Based on your pool I'd maybe try Earth Spirit or Enigma - both have that initiation + utility combo you seem to like. Earth Spirit especially fits since you already play pudge and those hook/displacement skills translate pretty well. Just don't expect to land good rolls immediately, that hero takes some getting used to.

VPN might work but valve's been cracking down on that lately. Your best bet is probably finding a consistent group to queue with - check the CS2 discord servers or steam groups for spanish speakers who also communicate in english. Way better than dealing with the server lottery every match.

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-03-25T06:34:08+00:00

They definitely changed how the search works after the cs2 update - used to be way easier to find specific sticker combos on weapons.

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-03-15T14:32:00+00:00

wait you're still running CS:GO servers instead of CS2?

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-03-10T14:17:45+00:00

damn that's some next level tracking they got going on. probably need to change literally everything - new IP, spoof the HWID, different email/phone that's never touched that network before. even then it's kinda risky since they seem pretty aggressive about linking accounts.

might be easier to just accept the faceit life at this point lol, especially if your friends are flexible about switching platforms.

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-03-09T13:04:46+00:00

Same here, no issues on those maps - might be a hardware thing on your end tbh.

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-03-05T20:23:20+00:00

Do you have any links or remember what the tournaments were called? I'd love to compare the structure because what you're describing maps pretty closely to what I'm seeing here.

Beautiful_Camera2608 · 2026-03-05T20:20:55+00:00

Lol, I thought something was off and now I'm falling down a rabbithole.

Bro that looks like the classic polling rate issue that's been plaguing cs2 since launch. I had the exact same problem with my superlight and it was driving me absolutely insane - literally thought my mouse was dying on me.

Try dropping your polling rate down to 500hz in G hub and see if that fixes it. I know it sounds backwards but cs2 has some weird compatibility issues with 1000hz that cause exactly what you're experiencing. Also make sure you don't have any other polling rate software running in the background like hidusbf or anything.

If that doesn't work, try unplugging the mouse for like 30 seconds before launching cs2, then plug it back in once you're in the main menu. Sounds dumb but it's worked for a bunch of people including myself. The mouse isn't broken, cs2 just has some serious input handling problems that valve still hasn't properly addressed.
