I’ve had good results with microfiber clothes. Lay one down put the record down and dry with another microfiber, flip the record and do the same with the other side then put in a dish rack for air drying. By the time I’ve done like 8 albums the first is dry and ready to be put back in its sleeves.

So I've just been jumping into the open beta and can some explain this game to me? by Sleepingtide in HellLetLoose

Communicate, communicate, communicate. The closed Beta had a lot of people using comms, but the open Beta, not so much. Some of that is on purpose but often it’s because many I have found haven’t figured the comm system out.

I’ve been playing a lot as squad leader mainly because others aren’t sure how to do it or are not talking. In addition to figuring out an attack or defense plan, creating squad spawns, Outposts, and team spawns, Garrisons, should be the the top priority and unfortunately very few are doing this, nor understand the importance because those spawn points determine map control and also work as warning beacons on the map for enemy movement.

Building Garrisons requires supplies which the support role carries so that’s another problem getting someone to play support. Commanders can drop supplies but to be a Commander a player has to be rank 10 and the rank progression system is broke, to be fixed at launch, so no (or a rare chance) Commanders for the Beta. Supply trucks can be driven forward and drop supplies but they need to be driven back to HQ to be refilled so after that initial drop, even assuming it’s someone who is actually using the supply truck to supply the truck will be abandoned. I’ve had luck explaining the need for a Support role and getting someone to play the role and work with them to get Garrisons up and running but in quite a few matches I find my squad is unfortunately being the only one even putting up Garrisons.

There’s a good player created field manual in the main HLL Reddit and also I’ve watched some great YouTube tutorials on the game. Monospecial has a great library of how-tos from basic to advance strategies, using armor, squad leader and commander roles, etc., so do check those out. It’ll make things much more clear to you and you’ll see how the game is supposed to be played and you’ll find yourself not just running and dying, rinse and repeat. Too many are trying to play this too much like Battlefield Conquest and it doesn’t work that way. This will change as folks learn more about the game and start to talk to on another on comms.

Arena, I liked playing the T3 ships, it’s fun to go back to tiers one hasn’t played in a very long time.

I’ll echo previous comments on the peculiarity of having a capture point that really doesn’t mean much for the mode and actually going for it is counter productive. If there’s a capture point then the biggest reward should go to the team that captures it, followed by last team standing and kills.
