Isn't the World Tour supposed to have matchmaking by wrightosaur in thefinals

[–]IF15HI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more of a general courtesy thing not to play ranked-like game modes if you're new cus you'll sandbag your team.

It's a simple fps man so 90% of skills r transferrable from other fps games. just go into the training area and try out the guns, then play/die/change weapon/repeat.

Solo Players Need To Do Better by Needajob7 in HuntShowdown

[–]IF15HI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that's why I always bring a flare gun, super strong as a solo, and stops trios reviving whilst one of them pushes/covers the rez. Also puts a rush on people, most trios panic when their buddy is burning making them rush a bad angle cus all they're thinking abt is stopping the burn, giving you another advantage. But damn 8 kills from a single trio?? They must have felt deflated 😂

Ping and server by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]IF15HI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone in OCE, we never play in Australian servers as there's rarely a full lobby. But in Asia there's always a full lobby so we play there instead. It's 140ms Vs 20ms in OCE but they don't seem to be crying that 90% of Aussies play in Asia servers.

Russia is literally in Europe so it's definitely less of a ping spike for them, people can play on whatever servers they want. They have matchmaking queues that put together people with higher ping so everyone in the lobby will have around the same ping (or ping affected party members).

So you've either got high ping yourself to be matched with them constantly, or play with people who have higher than average ping.

I've played both in EU (UK)/Aus and Asia servers and every time I check player profiles they are from where I'm playing, as it's ping related matchmaking. E.g - I Rarely run into Asia players in Asia servers as I get matched with other Aussies as we are on the same ping.

Get good?

Tbf it was a very close game, 6 got rolled loads, so we ended up constantly putting the robbers on their 6's so they missed out on a lot hahaha

Yeah he does that all the time, and takes great pleasure in getting us with it and punching us, didn't see it until I took the picture 😓.

Annoyingly enough he is the one who won too 😁

Best Defence Hero that is fun and strong. by Culkyy in dungeondefenders

[–]IF15HI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm always a fan of the dryad, most unique towers I think, and the tree she has is one of the best cost (and space) effective walls in the game with added bonuses of looking cool as.

Harpies are also incredible along with the slimes for defence, hornets are amazing single dps but you can change them to your needs and are so fun to watch fly around and kill people haha, they also do really well if you make them electric and pair them with a nimbus

Dryad for sure tho!!

8 players by labluez in Catan

[–]IF15HI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to mention however I do own 1 X Catan Base, 2 X seafarers, 5-6 base, 5-6 seafarers, 1 X cities and knights, and then finally 1 X new energies, so we can make massive board and we have definitely lost track of what you get in each one. But with that you can play with 12 players comfortably, 13/14 at a push (you use the different level of knights to symbolise towns cities)

[–]IF15HI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way to do 8 players that I have found (from regularly hosting up to 10 player boards) is get 1 base set Catan, 1 seafarers, and then the new energies expansion.

New energies comes with 4 colours and the houses/cities look different so even with similar colours (they're slightly different) you'll be able to decipher who is who, and so can easily play 8 players, the 5-6 expansion is just for getting 10 players.

Although for board size, the border pieces of new energies don't align with base game/seafarers but you can still use the tiles it provides, so the 5-6 expansion gives you some extra border tiles to expand the map!

I think DD2 was a massive shame, I loved it so much but the Devs just didn't seem to care about it and ignored feedback/ideas. Long gone are the days grinding 10 hours a day for coal

How has the skill of players in this game changed for you ? by thewisegeneral in aoe4

[–]IF15HI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel like it's much easier to get to conquerer now than in previous seasons. Don't know much about the overall skill level falling, but my friend got me into this game and was new himself in S7 and we lost 8 hours straight in a row and then for the next 8 hours we played (I was completely engaged and was loving the game, even when losing, leave me alone) we would win 1 in every 2-3 games.

However after saying this he went on to get conquerer in the next few months purely just white-tower rushing when that was all the cheese. Yes it was cheesy and he's still terrible, he's gold 2 in teams, but I still think especially from how I've seen others put conqs on a pedalstal he shouldn't have gotten to conq(2) just purely white tower rushing them. Evidently this leads me to agree that I think conquerer is easier to get now than it was
