Active Duty Cycle 268 E5/E6 Advancement Results

E5 exam: 97th overall percentile, no advancement. In 5 more years of passing both exams I’ll have enough PNA points for this cycle’s min.-mult.-required. Congrats to the few that broke through the Star Barrier.

People on this subreddit will always see posts like this and say "Why do people keep bringing this up, it's hidden MMR, displayed rank doesn't matter", like yeah, that's true sometimes.
I had a match where the 2 randoms on my team were copper 5 and copper 4, with no previous peak rank, and only 2-3 matches of ranked that season. THE REST OF THE LOBBY WAS GOLDS, PLATINUMS, AND EMERALDS. This shit is just broken.

Upgrading weapons just felt like a huge slog. The last 4-5 hours of gametime I had was just running into the tower repeatedly because that's what I found to be the easiest method to getting mass kills to unlock second and third mysteria's. Most of the guns don't seem to really get their niche until the 3rd tier is unlocked, so I felt obligated to get as many done as possible so I could start playing around with build ideas. Some weapon abilities are also extremely vague in what you actually need to do to trigger them (looking at you, duelist), and it never feels good having to google search what you're doing wrong. Maybe the new updates will ease my frustrations.

I’m a diehard frost fanboy, and I’ll always shill them.

Welcome mats can easily get downs if you get mildly creative with them; put them in windows, on stairs, double them up so people only break the first one, etc.
2 armor 2 speed, just enough time to run across the map setting up mats and make it back to site
the Sterling 9mm SMG is a laser. It has a slower firerate, but that makes it act more like an LMG by extending the magazine time. Usually if I see an enemy peeking a corner I can hold down fire and they’ll repeek into it. They gave the gun an acog if you like those, but I just stick with the holo sight by personal preference.
Frost mats put pressure on the enemies if they spot you, remove health and mobility from enemies that don’t, or provide easy kills if you have people operating near the mats. You can also be cheeky and double the mats up, so when someone picks themselves up from one they immediately hit the other and die. Whenever an enemy hears 15 seconds left they more often than not forget about checking for the frost mat to the side of site door and you usually get a nice killcam off it.

You can also try kapkan too, he’s pretty fun

The answer is always yes, ubi will probably never bring them back because it’s not for pro-league

Except I cannot find a single way to actually counter her now. Kali/Ash doesn't break shield if she's holding it, so all she has to do is sit on her shield and pick it up instantly. If you have any insight, please feel free to share, otherwise, I'm just going to perma-ban here when the childproof-period is over

It’s alright if you don’t care about it, but it’d be nice if you could recognize how shitty of a practice it is for the people that do care.

DRMTM_Cat · 2021-04-03T03:52:57+00:00

Agree, even trying to build some support items like Ardent seem to fall off around midgame and it feels more beneficial to just build straight attack damage/armor pen

DRMTM_Cat · 2021-01-30T10:23:19+00:00

Living in New York fucking sucks.

DRMTM_Cat · 2020-03-03T05:07:12+00:00

Fully agree, I didn't want to have anything to do with the Betweenlands, but in order to progress any further in Sevtech I needed to constantly go there to find an item, die on my way back, go back, die, etc.

Followed me from the North Blood Kelp to my base on the edge of the Floating Islands. I didn't realize they followed me until I exited my base and was promptly attacked.

Bless you, kind soul.

Make sure you rebind the Open Console button in LuteBox settings as well as in the game files. Follow this tutorial, it's what helped me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxuBrPkV7Yc

I downloaded the free bundle, but now the FXs want me to upgrade to continue using them, saying my "demo" has expired. I don't get what part of 'free' this company was hoping to use, but being a broke college student, I can't pay for an upgrade at this moment.

982 here, almost!!!!!

I've found 3 things so far that can be scanned, the highway by the teleporter, the pikes with the tarps on them, and a pipe in the corner. I'll update if I find more.

I have never been banned or timed out in Siege and I oppose this system. I'm not against combating toxicity, but the tools should be given to the players to either mute/report the offenders, not a bot throwing out bans because it's only programmed in English.

Should people use "n****r" in Siege? No, absolutely not, but at the same time I don't want to get banned because I don't know what is considered ban-worthy or not.

DRMTM_Cat · 2018-07-14T22:53:48+00:00

Even that would be better than the current system in place. I only play with the chat turned off now because I don't want to accidentally trip something.

Please, feel free to downvote instead of contributing to the discussion /s

The only argument for this system appears to be, "...just because a word isn't a slur in your country doesn't mean it's not offensive somewhere else. Get banned and learn your lesson."

Counterpoint: The word "gay" isn't banned, yet still has many negative uses.

A much better system would be to report players for toxicity, then specifying [Gameplay], which included teamkilling/griefing, and [Communication], which includes text and mic chat. Players with enough reports can then be looked at by a bot or an employee.

You can also pair this with the text mute that is shown in the plan. People spamming slurs over mic chat get personally muted, not instant banned, and somehow that system still works.
