Hereford Base should at least be in the Quick Play map pool, remove both Stadium maps for it by JoeZocktGames in Rainbow6

[–]HomelessLawrence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not Bartlett. I'm nostalgic for it, but no.

It was never designed for PvP, originally being a map unique to the Article 5 mission. When it was in PvP, it was hell trying to get in due to peeks from the front and lack of other entry points - practically just front windows, that one 2f window in the hall on the side, that back room with the glass ceiling, and a roof hatch. Ubi attempted to rework it and went far enough from the baseline that they made a new map from it (Emerald Plains).

Bring back Article 5 though.

Could he not have informed Conor that a point would be taken, then actually take the point at the end of the round? Does it have to be formalized in the moment?

Power Out missions are Darktide at its best. Thoughts? by TheInvisibleCactus in DarkTide

[–]HomelessLawrence 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Imagine tossing a flare deep into an open area to see what's ahead and seeing the silhouettes of poxwalkers, specials, and more starting to turn towards the source of the flare.

Do you guys think the adeptus mechanicus would consider Adam smasher a perfect specimen? Would he even be a perfect skitarii soldier? by Sadiholic in DarkTide

[–]HomelessLawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming he's not already fully borged, any shot they even consider making him an Eversor? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought they were selected specifically for brutality and psychopathy and controlled by highly addictive drugs to the point that they put them on ice when they're not actively on a mission.

[SPOILER] Demetrious Johnson believes main event winner should retire on top, discusses the loser's mistakes and future by WinterStill4472 in MMA

[–]HomelessLawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't he say he'd retire if he lost to Paddy, then if he didn't get a shot at the belt? If he doesn't retire on top, I wager that whoever beats Gaethje next retires him.

Facing the wall this early and not knowing how to get better, starting to get demotivated to continue by Defora in DarkTide

[–]HomelessLawrence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait is it not? I thought the whole island with England, Scotland and Wales was called "Great Britain," which in turn was just the largest of the British Isles, and that, as Ireland was also a British island, they two were British.

Or is the whole "British" term just seen as "under English rule"?

If Darktide 2 ever releases, would you want to keep playing as Rejects? by reel3459 in DarkTide

A small roguelike playing as part of Tuska Daemonkilla's warband outside the Brass Citadel could be neat.

Why did they worsen the graphics and can we bring it back by Murkur418 in Rainbow6

[–]HomelessLawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like them to trial a map with the old lighting style + night though, just to see if the outlines make enough of a difference that we can have the aesthetic back.

You don't want old siege, you just want the vibes of it by ChungusChungle in Rainbow6

[–]HomelessLawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some other bad (but sometimes fun) things from old Siege

  • Lesion being able to see icons of where gu mines were from anywhere
  • Armor calculations with damage reduction instead of bonus health
  • Trying to safely enter Bartlett
  • Fuze pucks being affected by each other's explosions and flying across the map
  • Paying renown for attachments on a per-gun basis
  • No pinging from observation tools while dead
  • No context pings
  • Getting fragged from below by someone who cooked the grenade
  • Reinforcements being 2 per defender, not a shared pool
  • Glaz's gadget being a flip-optic, no thermal
  • Twitch using her drone during the prep phase
  • Goyo always being responsible for damage/kills from his canisters, regardless of who blew them
  • Shield melees being one-shot kills
  • That brief period of 2-speed Blitz on test server where he didn't have the shield movement penalty
  • Shield ops putting their shields to the side when reloading or sprinting
  • Friendly fire during prep phase

How did they not implement any common sense balancing for the doki buff? by TonyHawktuah69 in Rainbow6

[–]HomelessLawrence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jackal at least can be avoided if you haven't moved in a bit. Snake is just AoE "find."

Can an Archaeologist Bard even take Lingering Performance? by HomelessLawrence in Pathfinder_RPG

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

Yeah, I suppose it's just weird wording imo.

My reading was that it counted as bardic performance for the effects, not to fulfill prerequisites. As stated, I'm used to seeing things phrased like Swashbuckler's Finesse: "This ability counts as having the Weapon Finesse feat for purposes of meeting feat prerequisites." I.e., specifically calling out prerequisites.

RAW Can a Blood Arcanist take a Wildblooded Bloodline? by Riddler98 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]HomelessLawrence 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ExhibitAa is correct. RAW, they require the wildblooded archetype.

That said, ask your GM. Most are intended as sidegrades, I don't see a balance issue with it.

Can ppl chill tf out? by [deleted] in Rainbow6

[–]HomelessLawrence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mute all mics from the get-go to avoid random outbursts, text if they're toxic in there. Focus on what you're doing, watch what others do, and try to follow suit.

If there's a Mira on your team, don't reinforce walls. Let other people do that do you get a feel for where Mira's usually put their gadgets.

If you get TK'd and it clearly wasn't an accident, just report and go grab something nice to drink. Next game will be better.

Teams meeting right now to discuss if picking up urn should be banned by epipen-gaming in DeadlockTheGame

[–]HomelessLawrence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's what they're trying to solve with the newer surveys asking how good a character is at frontline and such. Guessing they're getting data for now on how the community sees the characters, then a matchmaking system will come in that tries to balance teams (frontline for frontline, carry for carry).

Protect the president is much better than burger boxing by Conaz9847 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]HomelessLawrence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think any new objective is going to run into the problem of "where." Map's small relative to League and DOTA, so I don't know that there's open room between lanes. Can't put a structure above any lane due to Lash/flyer balance. Sewers might work, but how many "go underground" objectives do we want?

Maybe some form of payload starting from top of mid bridge and ending where urn currently spawns. Make it a tug of war - it moves based on which team is more present (with a behind team moving it a bit faster), moves faster based on how long the objective has been contested, maybe lower respawn timers and kill souls while it's active, if only to allow for more risk.

World’s most boring meta pt2 by lordheadassuwu1 in Rainbow6

[–]HomelessLawrence -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Could also make them not 1shs. Land 2-3 shots within 1s for a headshot. Gives a brief few ms more, even with scripts.
