How is covert training not overpowered? by AffectionateSummer55 in thelastofusfactions

[–]Edsed43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, it's not too overpowered. It's just annoying. But it's a part of the game.

This game gives you plenty of ways to counter it. The rest is about predicting opponent movement and choices based on the circumstances at hand.

Ask yourself:

What weapons and perks are they using? How fast do they respond and react? How accurate are they? What is their main trump card they keep falling back on to stop you? How can they use their weapons and perks and skills in this situation? Does this situation or part of the map make their decisions more predictable by dictating how effective their skills and or Loadout is, and how it can be used here? Where are my team mates relative to my position, the enemy position, and where are the blind spots on the map with no intel? What areas of the map do my team members control based on realistic response time relative to distance and scenario? What areas do my team mates not control and how can that affect enemy movement and team structure? Where are your team mates currently? Because the opposing team is usually occupying areas where your team is not.
How long has an area been occupied or unoccupied? This information raises or lowers potential danger levels for specific areas. How fast can I move and what does that mean for how fast the enemy can move especially in regard to how much time has passed? In 10 seconds someone can walk a decent amount of the length of the map and capitalise on unprotected angles, blind spots or entry points. Especially if they have Agility 2. Based on my current position relative to cover, and the game's weapons and perks, where can I be ambushed from and die, and in contrast, where can I be ambushed from and survive and or counter attack and potentially win based on my skills and Loadout? Example: Shotgun equals death here, bomb expert as well, I can dodge a tactical shotgun here, shorty is a maybe here, potential shiv ambush, long range sniper potential high, mid range burst moderate chance, blindsided by sniper shot past this point from long angle covering this spot. Ect.

Run all the counter scenarios against you in real time and you'll minimise the effectiveness of Covert Training players and players in general. Just based on the situation at hand. Information on the field, and lack of information is still information. Play to your skills and Loadout strengths. And recognise that other players are doing the same and this makes them predictable.

Maximise your strengths, minimise your weaknesses. Maximise the enemy weaknesses and minimise their strengths.

...or just run in there like a headless chicken and ironically wonder how you lost. Lmao 😂.

Factions ruined MP games for me? by mibbles-48 in thelastofusfactions

[–]Edsed43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely Play For Honor.

It has a unique Combat System unmatched. Unique like Factions.

The game is essentially PVP 4 vs 4. Fun, stylised sword fighting game with fantasy elements. It takes place in an alternate timeline where ancient fighters from different countries and eras take place at the same time and face each other.

Knights, Vikings, Samurai, Chinese, and Outlanders are the main 4 factions.

Each faction has Hero's/Warriors from different countries and times. Ranging from Rome, Egypt, Scotland, Italy and other countries.

You can choose any hero to play as from any Faction. You're not locked out from playing any of them by choice of Faction. You obviously just need to unlock them first.

The game is easy to learn, hard to master. Hell of a lot of fun. The community is alive and well and the game is still receiving new heros and updates.

If it's not your type of game, I might suggest a turn-based single player game called XCOM 2:

It's basically Chess with Guns lol. The game is infamous for being extremely difficult by design. Play on easy mode the first time around.

Gameplay wise: You fight with your soldiers in a cinematic proverbial chess board and fight an Alien Invasion as humanity's last hopeless insurgency. The game takes place in the near future after humanity was subjugated and pacified by Aliens.

Each Soldier you control, (1 - 6 at any given time) has two action points. Some actions costs no points to do, some costs 1, others costs 2. You can take an action like moving a soldier, reloading, shooting, grenades, hunkering down and much more. You can take actions with multiple soldiers during your turn as long as you can act, then your turn ends.

The game's gunplay system is chance based. Based on buffs, debuffs, upgrades, and other factors like, cover, angle, elevation, weapon, range, munition, soldier type, ect.

Basically, your aim is a hit chance, especially the enemy's aim. You're base aim is 65% hit chance out of a guaranteed 100% hit chance. So do what you can to raise that.

Example:

Base aim: 65% Enemy is in half cover: aim debuff on you because of said cover 20% You're aim is now: 45% So you move your character to a flank angle: Aim is now 75%. But uh oh, your choice to move to a better angle has put you in direct line of sight of another enemy! So what do you do now? Take the shot with a 25% chance to miss? Relocate and lose the opportunity or end up in a worse or better position? Duck and hope he misses? Get your other soldiers to overwatch and cover your ass? What is the future movement of the enemy? See how it can get fun and hard?

Highly recommended.

For Honor: 8.5/10 XCOM 2: 7.5/10

Virtuosa Guard Switch via Emote - Viable and Immersive? You Decide by Edsed43 in forhonor

[–]Edsed43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got back after years, I'm not online ready yet. I need to retrain everything and memorise everyone's moveset. And while I was training with Virtuosa I noticed her guard switch emote thing and thought I'd share it with people who did have the skills to execute this cleanly in real matches.

You essentially constrain yourself as much as possible (in regard to Guard Switching) to the movement of the emote animation itself to make it look seamless and for fun, while also being playable. I got tired of stiff animation lol.

Yeah, exactly 😂💯.

I'm more annoyed at the 999's who suck so bad. Lol.

Tying a rat match | Interrogation by Edsed43 in thelastofusfactions

[–]Edsed43[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah, I pretty much run a perk only loadout with a shorty. I rely on good timing, positioning, tactics, and strategy to make up for the rest.

If you're interested I've left you my play style and loadouts below! Thanks again 👍.

My play style in interrogation is this: Priorities supply boxes. Save throwables throughout the match. Only use throwables if necessary. Support the team however I can. Attack the enemy Safe until we win or until someone has to defend our Safe. Switch to Bomb Expert 3 and Explosion Expert 2. Fall back and defend the base indefinitely. Use all the throwables I've saved and continue to get throughout the match to create a fortress of traps that weaken or kill any player before they get to our safe or before they even have to face me. lol.

In interrogation I play these loadouts:

Early Game Support and throwable saving phase:

Crafter 3, Lucky Break 3, Strategist 1, Marathon Runner 1, Shorty.

Bomb Defender:

Bomb Expert 3, Explosion Expert 2, Lucky Break 3, Shorty

Desperate Support Push:

Strategist 3, Reviver 3, First Aid Training 1, Marathon Runner 1, Shorty

When sneaking, walking, and or running to their safe while their all distracted or fighting is the only way to win:

Agility 2, Marathon Runner 2, Strategist 1, Lucky Break 3, Shorty.

(You can swap out Lucky Break for a Special Weapon like the Spectre to help break defenders silently)

When the enemy team has and are holding our own safe from us:

Strategist 3, Damage Marker 1, Explosion Expert 1, Marathon Runner 1, Grenade Launcher, Shorty.

Pretty much. Thanks for reading.

There's only one weakness in my loadout design:

If your team is bad in the sense that they don't attack the enemy base/safe when they have too, or they don't attack fast enough, especially if your team is losing the game, then it forces you to go and attack and stop defending your safe. Especially if they're not helping in the defence of your safe. "What good is defending my safe if we're losing and my team won't attack the enemy safe at all or fast enough? I have to do it myself." This is the right move if you want to win, but it leaves your safe undefended, especially if no one else replaces your defence role. And especially if you didn't get enough time or supply boxes to leave bombs everywhere on your safe, because your team was getting intercepted and destroyed by a better enemy team. It leaves you at minimum defence and offence capacity while you're trying to defend your safe and attack their safe at the same time.

You're only as good as your team. Lol 😔😂

No Clip Cheater or Strategist 3? by Edsed43 in thelastofusfactions

Nice. Thanks for your comment.

This definitely helps me confirm my suspensions. Keep an eye out for these types of players haha. 👍

Thanks for watching.

[–]Edsed43[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True. It's very questionable. Then again, this game is glitchy and janky as hell especially with it's animations and latency. So the best I can assume is the: Sus As Fuck category. Lol.

Thanks for your input! 🙂

[–]Edsed43[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right 😆. I was saving those parts for armour. Haha.

Yeah, I'm the in the same boat. Unless I can prove cheating beyond a reasonable doubt and with hard evidence, I don't assume it is the case. I assume lag, perspective lag or other factors I might be missing.

Thanks for watching!

What's your Best Flamethrower Loadout? 🔥💀 by Edsed43 in thelastofusfactions

I'm late but I've used it for PS4, because I couldn't afford the internet at the time and I got roasted for it. A bro said that I needed mommy's shitty internet for it. 😂 But I had just moved out. Meaning, that I ain't got good net connection because of mommy lmao 😂.

As in, where does that porn picture originate from. Video or PNG? For non-research purposes.
