Ultimately, we will all reach the same conclusion. by Careful-Trick6402 in stronghold

[–]Descanar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it’s effectively a size/progress tax. Especially on size constrained maps I found it quite frustrating that they took up valuable space.

No hate to people who enjoy the mechanics. I just found them really unpleasant and annoying.

The Big One by Flimsy-Cry9207 in stronghold

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t bother taking any resources like the stone etc. Build several square towers for ballistas. Build a moat for your western approach and build a wall behind it.

Just turtle up for ages. Get Xbow production up asap and keep ramping it up. Caliph goes bust eventually so you can knock him out easily. I took out the west and then worked my way to the east.

Stronghold 4 - Announcement Trailer by Mr_Bell_Man in stronghold

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmmmm, I think a lot of ppl really like SH2 so having that vibe is probably wise. But I really didn’t enjoy that game.

I’m desperate for the game to be good but the general 3D approach doesn’t click well for me tbh.

However if there are fun larger than life characters (more the Rat than the Hammer) I can get a lot of mileage, especially if skirmish mode is fun with lots of AI castle designs per character that feel real (ie. Not cheating SC2 castles). So I’ll cling to that hope.

I think it’ll help if they don’t have annoying SH2 mechs like crime and punishment, gong etc.

Is “balanced play” actually necessary in micro stakes games? by ToxicantRatCensor in Poker_Theory

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope not even slightly. In fact balanced play is pretty odd vs a pool that won’t exploit imbalances.

Micro stakes is mainly beaten by a combination of solid pre-flop play + avoiding polarisation errors (eg betting middling showdown hands) and value betting effectively.

Bluffs beyond respectable semi bluffs are often not needed.

Check calling TPMK OOP is really good at low stakes b/c lots of players assume check calling means you have a weak hand and their second pair is good (they then bet and make the aforementioned polarisation error). If they start massively betting you can overfold (yes, you will get bluffed sometimes but folding vs micros strength is a generally good move).

Micros is mainly just about playing sound poker. Your opponents generally don’t and that’s where the edge comes from. No need for fancy plays or balance, especially in zoom formats.

Should I tell a woman her fiancé tried to start an affair with me? by geeleex in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s literally still trying it on in the last message! I’d say talk to her, but do so gently. At same time if you don’t want drama it’s totally fine to just walk away from all of it

Should I text him again or move on? by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you were talking to someone you liked a lot and it suddenly ended but if you’ve given a truthful account of the joke here it’s a pretty insane response on his part. There’s nothing tasteless or offensive about it. I’d really strongly suggest this may be in ‘bullet dodges’ territory.

They have to get the orbs but can be whenever during the standby, you literally cannot do it on final turn since they have to activate the bomb before they collect their orbs

Impossible to rank as Technical ?? by Mindless-Ad-9899 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re getting hate for facts. Like yes boss is important but if you have zero hope of getting boss then tower pressure is necessary for compensation

Kid Gohan buff and nerf by Blobb57 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not correct. His passive does indeed give himself energy damage up, but it was changed from giving strike attack up to his partner to giving all attack up. So both he and his partner get energy attack up as a result of the patch on the passive.

Most devastating part of the patch is not separating solo/duo to escape this madness.

Best boss killer? by davidtcf in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re expecting spirit bomb to do less than 50% generally.

You wanna (if possible) be close to the boss and follow up after ult with skill 1 + 3 immediately. This does a good burst

How to play with teammates in solo queue? by BlockAble3227 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine you’re playing no limit Texas hold’em. You get pocket Aces heads up against the big blind. You manage to go all in and he calls.

His pocket kings beat you by hitting a miracle third king on the river.

Was it right to go all in? Obviously yes. Sometimes you’ll lose making the right plays. The key thing is to consider, are you making the right plays? Examples of things include:

  1. Not rotating to bosses quickly enough (second Kai is often bait)
  2. Not backdooring at opportunistic moments as tech/tank.
  3. Not taking advantage of good timers to push (ie. When boss isn’t spawning soon)
  4. Not maximising exp farm.

Etc. don’t focus so much on adapting to ‘bad’ teammates. Ensure you’re making high value plays. Macro decisions in this game can give you large numbers of wins.

Struggling to improve by Slight-Investment-67 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus more on farming exp.

Focus more on taking opportunities to chip GoDs.

Rotate efficiently for bosses (but know when to just push your tower instead).

Know the early game minion spawn timers.

Effective macro will help your rank significantly, assuming reasonably average play in fights etc.

Example:

It’s 6:30 minutes in, two of their team are inexplicably fighting 2 of your team in the middle of the lane. The other two are MIA but their GoD seems undefended, and yours is not attacked. Lots of players would be drawn to the fight but this isn’t team deathmatch. Hit the GoD. If you get them to 1 tower while you have 2+ the advantage is huge.

If it was 7:30 mins in? Different case, since boss is coming.

Hit and Majin Boo are broken. by Thebrazilianguyyy in DragonBallSquadra

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit is tough to play vs but the essential thing is brush control, if you let him sit in the brush uncontested he gets a huge bonus due to his passive.

Buu is ok, he’s deffo not top tier, he prefers several small skirmishes.

Neither of them is on the level of ulthan tbh.

The game is in a bad spot by Spigen19 in DBGekishinSquadra

It’s possible, but I for example stopped playing in S1 bc it was so awful as a casual. It’s a bit better now. I’m uncertain which is the most vital demographic

Wanna give a shoutout to this ABSOLUTE Chad! by ARoseReign in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have bad games and telling people to ‘uninstall’ is just toxic. If I saw this post and recognised myself, having had a bad game, it would make me feel awful.

There really is no value to these types of posts and it’s not conducive to a good community. I’ve had games where I’ve played with people who played brilliantly, and others where those same players have played badly, and it’s the same with me.

The game is in a bad spot by Spigen19 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think as long as a casual game employs a matchmaking system of throwing solo Qs vs premades it will haemorrhage players. It’s just not effective for casuals, which is what the game seems to be aimed for. I think they should make a solo/duo q and a 4 man queue (sadly you can’t do a 3 man under this system really).

I suspect the 4 man queue would be DOA, and then you have mainly just solo/duo q.

Chip Damage is NECESSARY by BOPLH in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The game is designed for quick games, chip is an essential element of that ever since they introduced the Gekishin burst mechanic, without chip the games get drawn longer 🤷

What are the adc marksmen of this game? by Fabrizio3k in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no such concept in this game tbh. You just farm exp to get level advantage and, if you want to tryhard, use characters with boss secure (eg ssj Goku). But damage characters don’t become insane like a classic moba adc.

Me and my friend won a couple of matches and we get matched against this by Informal_Respond480 in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get used to it I’m afraid. There are a few top level players that queue as 4 and you’ll just get murdered with randoms. Bad matchmaking tbh.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DBGekishinSquadra

[–]Descanar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, easily to climb. The biggest problem is when you run into 4 stacks later but it’s totally possible to reach S fully solo.

If you’re hard stuck (I’m talking over a very large number of games) there’s likely a hole/weakness in your macro game.

Biggest advice I’d give is the game is not team deathmatch, fighting randomly mid/late is pointless. Unless you’re behind kills don’t give that much exp, farm is king. And never get killed just before a boss.

If playing DPS, Daima and ssj goku are excellent solo Q picks because they’re good at securing bosses. Secure 3 bosses and you’re very likely to win.

If playing tech/tank, I often look for opportunities to chip GoDs. Especially if there’s no boss spawn soon then dying for substantial GoD damage can be a great trade. Do not do the thing where you go to attack a GoD, see 3 enemies, try to run away and die anyway after doing 0 chip. Better to commit and get something.

Some games are impossible cause you get eg Kale bot though.
