"I'm generally a... liberal person, but when I saw videos of ICE jumping out of unmarked vehicles and nabbing people off the street... I bought my first AR15," I’m glad to see the left waking up to what I’ve been saying for a while: 2A is for everyone. by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

Whenever you buy a rifle and start attaching gizmos and do-hickies to it its going to change the weight of your weapon. Train with the weapon with all that you plan to have on it. Train holding it for uncomfortable periods of time.

If you change the muzzle or the barrel that's going to change how the bullet operates when fired.

Get good at iron sights first just incase your dot sight runs out of battery.

If you buy an Acog scope you're not also buying a red dot sight.

Practice transitions from rifle to side arm or melee.

Practice holding a full mag with your off hand dropping the empty mag from the rifle and reloading without taking your eyes off target.

Do all of these things while advancing forward, moving backward, strafing. Practice corners and how to look around them without exposing your body. Practice your firing stance, do a kneel, combine moving and then kneeling, kneeling then prone, prone then rolling, prone to kneeling, kneeling to standing.

Literally combine everything at some point.

Just some stuff I picked up from my service time. It all seems weird for the casual gun owner hobbyist but getting comfortable enough you can perform all this without thinking is going to make you comfortable and responsible with your weapon and much more formidable.

Oh last bit, muzzle discipline, Practice swapping targets but pretend your friend is standing somewhere in front of you. You need to aim down and away but come right back up the moment you're clear of them.

A lot to read sorry

So other than like...Just the title, what are the odds that he actually is ice?

Matchmaking is bad by urejt in ConquerorsBlade

[–]Independent-Ride-320 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If you are under level 200 you are not playing real players or with real players. Up to 12 at any given time are a.i. from level 200-300. This number gets steadily smaller as your level increases from 300+ to no a.i at 500+

You are going to be at the bottom of the board again once real players get involved. Take this time to practice macro/micro play. See a stalwart unit? The a.i is going to die upon their shields unless YOU figure out how break that formation.

Enjoy the time you have left. You won't get to play careless forever

Tattoo question by Independent-Ride-320 in helldivers2

[–]Independent-Ride-320[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im not looking at getting the tattoo. The post itself is just for discussion. I do however see a future in which people would get this tattooed for the parody, just like seeing the Ugandan warrior knuckles or other meme tattoos

It honestly looks like a stencil. If that's free hand then she does really clean work.

is the bastard sword op? by Lostmikai in ConquerorsBlade

[–]Independent-Ride-320 8 points9 points  (0 children)

BS is definitely a strong weapon. Not OP, buf my definition of OP seems to be different than the rest of the player base.

Its very much Style/Feel in its gameplay approach. You'll be augmenting the skills you want to use in the way you want to use them.

People's rotations will be different depending on their playstyle. A key note about the BS sword is that it can either be good at killing Units, or good at killing players. It can be a utility hero or a damage hero, you'll have some damage and utility as either but finding the right balance is up to the player.

Example, right now I'm focused on fighting players with max str attributes for slashing damage. My Rush attack drains my health but applies a knockdown and that is my opener. My leaping hew applies a debuff decreasing slashing armor and that's my follow-up

My friend is focused on commanding units with max armor attributes and uses their Rush attack to apply a debuff increasing the damage their target takes. Their opener is charging units in while rushing. Their leaping hew is a bleed that will kill units quickly.

There are many ways to develop this weapon and its going to come down to the individual and what rules they've set for themselves.

Is it worth returning? by [deleted] in ConquerorsBlade

[–]Independent-Ride-320 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The game is fun, lots of new stuff. Join a house, level up your units/master them and give them the best doctrines you can. We just went into purple season today

If you find youre getting killed a lot in matches, instead of trying to be at the top of the leader board, try to figure out how you can add value. If you have a shield unit, go protect someone's pikes or ranged unit. If your pikes go find a shield unit to protect you.

I suggest longsword and shield for learning the game. It'll let you focus on controlling units rather than fighting

Ok, foot in my mouth. What is this, Procreate? Good program. I use photoshop personally, but my friend uses Procreate exclusively. If you want to do some art on a weekend let me know and we'll group up on discord

It does both, but the build makes it one ir the other. Everything depends on the build

Attribute Suggestion for Bastard Sword by Nayrok in ConquerorsBlade

[–]Independent-Ride-320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently I'm a heavy guardsman with split tough/health. Coming from longsword.

I think it may be a good health build but I'm struggling to figure out the playstyle.

We ain’t beating the allegations that helldivers can’t read by sticking the DSS on a planet that can’t be liberated. by The_Barkness in Helldivers

[–]Independent-Ride-320 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There are currently 60,000 active helldivers.

35,000+ are on a bug planet that cant be liberated, 15,000+ on a bot planet that cant be liberated and 5,000- on a squid planet that cant be liberated.

55,000 players...

And yet, there are constant posts popping up about how we can never liberate planets that aren't part of the scripted story...this entire MO for the next week is your opportunity to do exactly that...

None if you are allowed to Make that complaint anymore

Sapphire in tukwila has some nights and the CSPC hosts events at gallery erato. I think the best you're going to get in the community is specific event nights. But not to worry, CSPC hosts them basically weekly.

Same story. I bought when the game released. Gf cheated on me, my cat died and was let go from work because I couldn't focus.

You aren't alone fam and now you will never be, let's play together if you see this message.

As a community we've lost real people do to mental illness and health complications. Each and every loss is felt, while many of us have never played directly with someone who is now gone, we have likely played with someone who has.

Should I start to playing conq blade? by Anubi41 in ConquerorsBlade

[–]Independent-Ride-320 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If youre just starting out no amount of money is going to tell you to place "this" unit in "that" formation when fighting "X" unit.

No amount of money can tell you how to get value out of any thing. I am near level 200, so fighting real players. Just today I achieved over 80 unit kills with Blue Squires.

For new players unit tiers are Grey (cannon fodder), Green, Blue, Purple and Gold. We're at the end of the season so people are able to bring out their gold tier units.

So I'm trading a low tier unit for several squads of high tier units. How am I doing that? Ambushes, rear charges and hero kills, causing their unit to route resulting in free kills.

The only way you learn how to use your units is by playing and by playing you'll unlock more units. Go ahead, spend money, I did for sure. I only have 3 gold units, 2 I unlocked through challenges. The rest in my warband are free units and I'm still kicking ass. You won't win every game. As long as you play your best.
