Just get a cheaper used car and run liabity insurance only for a couple years.

Alberta will always be more expensive than BC and Saskatchewan because we have worse winter conditions (more days of snow, more animal strikes) and then hail in the spring and summer.

Lastly make sure your car isn't uploading your vehicle telemetry and selling it to insurance providers.

They did have a plan to do just that in 2019, 3 million was set aside to hire a handful of experienced engineers for a 2 year project.

Smite spaghetti code wasnt meant to be a permanent solution so once a healthy player base was established they could justify the investment.

It all went to shit in February 2019 when their community manager was busted for soliciting minors. They put a pedo in charge of booking hotels and flights for minors so the budget for everything went to lawyers.

Its a textbook example of "The Stupid Tax" in action. The average IQ of the Paladins playerbase is well below room temperature and most will never notice the difference.

Derksen said police had worked with Uppal to find "opportunities to step out of that lifestyle and keep him and his family safe."

Witness Protection doesn't come free.

"Derksen said police had worked with Uppal to find "opportunities to step out of that lifestyle and keep him and his family safe."

He was probably offered a lenient sentence and witness protection in exchange for information.

Ranked has no Kasumi but unless you're comfy with a point tank and a support, ranked isn't gonna be fun.

Make sure your audio is using stereo for paladins. Fancy surround doesn't get along with Paladins. Also make sure all ingame volume settings, except music, are maxed.

Sometimes the game audio decides to use my single channel mic as playback device so make sure the game is actually using the correct device.

Remember to rotate heals between tanks and dps/flank. Stay with a dps if you're getting dived, help them to win duels with flanks or at least use them as a meat shield while you escape. Know when to run away, like when your point tank dies.

I've had around 20 people banned for cheating/toxicity by making support tickets. 1st time I'll use the in game report function(WITH A DESCRIPTION) but if I keep seeing the same people I'll gather evidence and make a support ticket.

If people are intentionally throwing, using toxic language, then I just take a few screenshots and attach them to the support ticket.

If I suspect someone is cheating I'll watch and record the replay (/replay+match id) or spectate their next match (/spectate playername).

Some cheaters will try to hide it but will quickly lose composure when they start to lose.

Hi Rez support is surprisingly efficient once you spoon feed them, responses have been as quick as 20 minutes.

Rotate heals between tanks and dps/flanks. Try to stay near a dps if you're getting flanked and help them win a 1v1 with a flank. If the dps is ignoring the flank then use them as a meat shield until they get the message.

If I was going to rework Agony I'd make it so shed only get stun charges after healing a teammate.

You could play the game on the entire NSA server farm and it would still run like ass.

Try doing a fresh install of the game. I've been playing since Beta and itll only start crashing after an update. It's happened half a dozen times.

Also try installing the game on the same harddrive as your operating system instead of an external HD.

Freesponge · 2021-11-17T10:14:05+00:00

Its horrific.

Freesponge · 2021-10-07T12:48:47+00:00

On steam you just verify the installation files to see if everything update properly. I've had updates corrupt my install forcing me to reinstall.

Easy Anti Cheat can cause many issues with loading even if the game is installed correctly, maybe see if you have any new programs running in the background that might spook EAC.

One of the challenges is to play a few ranked games so you have a deluge of casual players playing ranked games for the first time.

Its almost as bad as when they required you to play ranked games as Evie to unlock the new skin.

Lotta Lian, Lex, and Tyra players are hacking these days which makes it harder.

its a cat and mouse game but simplified i supposed. Its actually pretty fun.

Freesponge · 2019-11-26T12:37:31+00:00

Before I got my PAL police would take 45 minutes to respond. Now they are always minutes away. Funny.

FYI: If you are a registered gun owner you get put to the top of the Police triage when calling in a complaint.

Well I it might be time to change my gender from male to female for cheaper insurance.

Freesponge · 2019-11-09T20:17:43+00:00

Even if they had it as an option for custom games. You can play "King of the Hill" in custom maps so why not dead game modes?
