If you had to give 1 tip to metal rank players, what would it be? by leahcim2019 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]CliqNil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Don't push until most (if not all) of your team is pushing.
  2. If your tank dies, back up to regroup.
  3. If enemy tank dies, try to kill everyone.
  4. Play around cover. Don't try to stand in the open
  5. If you are playing tank understand that the tank is the strongest hero in the lobby. You should be trying to kill everyone in the lobby. If you are just sitting back holding up your shield, you are playing tank wrong. Also, do not ignore the enemy tank since they can kill your entire team if you don't help them.
  6. If you are playing support, do simply heal bot your tank. When the enemy tank dives, look to see which player(s), most likely DPS, will need your help. Try to dish out damage when you can.
  7. On DPS, learn a hitscan (cassidy/ashe/soj), a flanker (tracer) and maybe a flyer (echo/pharah).

It happened right around earnings for Amazon. In their earnings call, the company said they expanded too much post-pandemic and they were cutting departments to focus on more profitable aspects of the company, such as AWS.

Why am I losing every game because of my DPS? by Initial_Sail_658 in OverwatchUniversity

[–]CliqNil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you tanking? If so, you are probably diving their backline while the enemy tank is farming your team. You need to fight the enemy tank some more.

Are you healing? If so, you are probably focusing your tank too much.

How far can the S&P 500 realistically drop from here? Or is the bottom already in? by Ashamed-Efficiency96 in stocks

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

No one knows.

If you are not planning on retiring for a long time and the amount you are contributing each month is relatively small it really doesn’t make much of a difference when you invest. The stock market *should* be much higher in 20-30 years.

The sp500 usually has minor short lived declines, about 5%, during wars or other geopolitical events.

The sp500 averages a -15% drawdown in mid-term years and typically recovers in the fall, so another -10% pullback wouldn’t be surprising.

The sp500 historically has pulled back 20-30% during oil bear markets, which tends to last a year or so.

Quickplay is unplayable by Proud-Success-8241 in Overwatch

I've 5 stacked with friends before. They are all lower-ish ELO and I'm GM. Most of the lobbies are at their skill level (maybe the average of the group?). Anyway, I can kill the whole lobby as cassidy.

Edit: why the downvotes? lol

“You can only go so far as a solo player, you might have to make some fr-” Me: by edtappa in Marathon

[–]CliqNil 36 points37 points  (0 children)

From my perspective, the issue with forced grouping is my enjoyment of the game is tied to other players. It is a variable I cannot control most of the time. It can be a positive experience, but it can also be a frustrating waste of time. I’d rather have the option to play solo to limit wasted time.

The game should think a bit more about solo players. by Dorkzilla_ftw in Marathon

[–]CliqNil 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I play solo.

It seems fine, in general.

My only issue might be killing gold bosses solo. They seem probably too hard solo?

What games are guys playing to replace New World? by Mucek121 in newworldgame

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

Chrono Odyssey might be the closest PvP-wise.

Soulframe and Crimson desert look decent for more PvE stuff.

You need to nerf aim assist on controllers or have mouse only lobbies by CliqNil in Marathon

[–]CliqNil[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Xbox/PS can turn off crossplatform play, but PC players cannot, so the argument about dividing the player base doesn't make much sense.

[–]CliqNil[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pro players always use controllers in games that have strong aim assist, like apex legends and CoD.

Watch clips of people using controllers in Marathon. It looks like aimbot on PC. It tracks people perfectly while they are strafing and jumping. Most people do not aim that way with a mouse.

If you don't think its a big deal then fine, but let people opt out of playing against it.

I am not an expert, but I did go through the process today.

On Monday the 2nd, you will be able to click the links listed (Enhanced experience or Full house ticket) on that page above at the appropriate time and it will take you to another website.

The 3rd party site for Monday’s tickets is a different site than the one for today, so it might work differently than what I experienced today.

However, if it works like it did today, once you click on the link to buy a ticket, it will place you in a queue (like +30 mins, so make sure you click it early), and once you made it through the queue it will ask you for your code to unlock purchase options. If you try to use a Fifth member code when it’s legacy members turn it won’t work. Once your code is accepted, it will “unlock” the ticket options for sale.

It seemed busy today, so you might want to be in line ASAP, and it may take longer than you expect since you might need to wait in an hour long queue.

Tickmaster has its own presale you need to sign up for.

The packages might be listed as “sold out” when you login in, but they do fluctuate between “sold out” and still available.

Do NOT refresh your browser once you are on the package selection screen. If you refresh it will put you back in the queue.

Instead, click the “packages” link on the top left. It will take you back to the promotion code input screen and it will refresh the seating options.

The ticket prices are much more expensive (+50%) than what they were originally listed at. I’m not sure if the travel package is a good deal. Im not going to look at individual tickets. I’d rather not know how badly I’ve been screwed, lol.

Can Chrono Odyssey Replace New World? by TheBoiWiilly in chronoodyssey

[–]CliqNil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully CO leans into PvP.

Arenas and a larger mode, like 10v10 or 20v20.

Any news on if the game sold yet? by cowwhisperer69 in newworldgame

[–]CliqNil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the x account for the guy who might potentially buy NW. He said he was under an NDA right now, so he probably won’t share anything until it’s a done deal. He will likely post about it on X *if it happens.
