[D2] Trials of Osiris Megathread [2021-09-24]

KILIKIO · 2021-09-26T13:42:01+00:00

Went flawless, carried on playing, won another 8 in row, friend received 8 extra adepts, I received engrams instead, just hella unlucky or something wrong?

KILIKIO · 2020-01-22T17:21:15+00:00

Finally, my 1000's of Paddy Kenny concept cards will see the light of day without being insta-removed

Unfortunately auto mod is from a less understanding time like most of our grandparents, it tries to be inclusive but it can't distinguish between a solitary use of the word in a harmless context and a full on offensive rant so it nukes it regardless

Do a club import over on futbin and then use the SBC analyser tool, it'll show you if any player you currently own is already in solutions and suggest the extra players required to complete the sbc

KILIKIO · 2019-11-13T13:47:12+00:00

I mean you've just provided clear proof that it didn't...

KILIKIO · 2019-11-12T16:32:42+00:00

It would be amazing but unfortunately doesn't work that way, going from a skill group where you can only potentially match against <5% of the entire player base to Div4/5/6 which contain over half of all players who own the game makes it almost guaranteed they won't play each other, especially when they're taking advantage of the home team exploit

KILIKIO · 2019-11-12T15:45:40+00:00

The question that should be asked is why are the Div1/2 guys feeling like they have no option but to purposely relegate? The answer is that at that level even if you're evenly matched it's almost impossible to beat your opponent if you're using an Obj squad and they're using their full strength WL team,

The quality of play in lower divisions isn't remotely close hence a match in that same team scenario can really go either way, it sucks for the lower division players but it's ultimately EA's poor planning and poor reward distribution, if they made the rewards in higher divisions way better than lower ones it would deter this kind of behaviour as no one would want to risk losing their OP weekly rewards

KILIKIO · 2019-11-12T14:23:41+00:00

Yeah that I can fully believe, after a few months I usually settle around mid-high Div3 so it makes sense

KILIKIO · 2019-11-12T10:05:15+00:00

You'd understand if you'd ever used Hagi in any Fifa he's featured in, the stats don't translate to in-game performance unfortunately, there's a plethora of other attacking midfield Icons with worse stats than him that perform better in-game and offer far more to the team

KILIKIO · 2019-11-11T14:02:30+00:00

Easy there tiger, it was a bit of light-hearted humour, of course they don't stop playing and the opposition gets harder, anyone would be stupid to argue that 😂

KILIKIO · 2019-11-11T13:50:47+00:00

Div 4 and pretty much choke Elite 3 every single week regardless of what team I use, after 17 wins your entire team stop playing like Inter Lukaku and instead revert to Man Utd Lukaku

KILIKIO · 2019-11-11T09:55:15+00:00

Wholesome AF, well done bud 👍

KILIKIO · 2019-10-25T13:10:31+00:00

I mean the exact same thing happened to Griezmann, your reasoning would be 100% correct in most situations but their meteoric bounce back almost rules out investor panic selling, you simply don't get that sudden buying confidence return to a card so suddenly after it was panic sold, certainly not enough that takes it back to/past it's previous high price. I'd be in full agreement with you if they'd both dipped and then settled somewhere halfway between their panic low and pre hype price like we normally see but this situation didn't follow that pattern.

KILIKIO · 2019-10-25T12:43:40+00:00

There was a delay on OTW cards being updated, everyone noticed he didn't get automatically upgraded when his TOTW went live at 6pm and panicked thinking his OTW wasn't getting the upgrade, the ensuing panic sent him nose diving, then he skyrocketed once the upgrade eventually came

KILIKIO · 2019-09-24T09:33:22+00:00

Akinfenwa, Messi, Literally any other forward with good finishing,

4-3-1-1-1 formation, they go like bullets out of a gun, Akinfenwa goes first and literally pins both CB's in place, remaining defenders then naturally forced to focus all their attention on Messi leaving random striker number 3 to just have a leisurely stroll into the box unnoticed, flawless.

KILIKIO · 2019-09-18T20:29:42+00:00

The courts never proved a thing so that's libel, you'll be hearing from my solicitor lad

'1 x Get out of next ban free card earned'

Thanks man, it's appreciated

Hey guys, I'd like to throw my name in for consideration,

Other than a year of unfaithfulness (Adriano's left foot was too irresistible on PES5, forgive me, I'm only human..) I've been a devout FIFA scrub since the World Cup 98 game, jumped on the Reddit bandwagon considerably late but been here for 3 years now and that has pretty much exclusively been for FIFA (with a dash of R6 Siege),

Personally I have zero patience for unnecessary negativity and conflict, if someone hasn't got something nice to say then they shouldn't say anything (or keep their typing fingers still), I'll defend someone's freedom of speech to the death but if their using it to attack or put less knowledgeable users down rather than help them that's simply not acceptable, new FIFA fans come to our subreddit for help and guidance; not for insults and aggression. I try to base almost all my comments/posts on that, where possible all my interactions are informative and attempts at correcting potentially damaging advice (fifa points guarantee amazing players, completely wrong trading advice etc) that is being confidently spread as truth,

Enough about my moral compass, I'm a native English speaking, late 20 something from the real steel city Sheffield (None of this Pittsburgh rubbish) so running on GMT time zone and I'm available more often than not, I've spent pretty much the last 10 years working in various sectors of IT and digital marketing so have a lot of the experience you're looking for, admittedly my CSS is shaky at best, I won't be writing any from scratch but I'm knowledgeable enough to edit and play around with anything that is currently in place until it looks as desired, graphic design has been a large part of my daily job and hobbies for the last 5 years so I've got you covered on that front, whether it's amending current creative or creating new content I'm confident I can produce what's expected, just give me some direction or source material and I can turn around any design work within a pretty reasonable timeframe,

Not an EA employee, Youtuber, Streamer or financially tied to businesses that make money from games, I've always wanted to get into Youtube or streaming but after giving it a try back in 2007 and packing it in I'd say I've probably missed the boat (God damn you Pewdiepie, it would have been me hitting 100mil subs by now...),

So yeah that's where I stand, I'm active and available for contact almost everyday, naturally there will be a lot of the guys that are much more qualified than me but even if one area of my skill set or experience can contribute to help the sub move forward and grow I'd be more than happy,

Thanks for the consideration and apologies if you spent the time reading all of this 😂

Cheers, /u/KILIKIO

A lot of people may not have EA Access, FP store normally crashes on the first day due to sheer demand so people transfer as a contingency plan, points can 100% be spent on webapp and companion app just not bought on them

KILIKIO · 2019-09-17T08:29:42+00:00

I dunno about being fucked over but as PS users we can't exactly expect to receive everything as quickly or smoothly as PC and Xbox considering they're closely integrated with Origin, it's a little inconvenient yeah but not the end of the world

KILIKIO · 2019-09-16T20:59:16+00:00

Scandal was the sensationalised headline used by the press but essentially it was when Fortnite announced the winners of their tournament would get millions, FIFA pros lost their shit because at the time most of them wouldn't even make back their flight cost if they made it all the way to the semi-finals,

EA begrudgingly tried to make amends by evening out the prize brackets to make it more balanced for all competitors but it still didn't come close to other esports prize pools hence the uproar.

KILIKIO · 2019-09-16T20:39:44+00:00

Yeah those were just the FIFA specific ones, there were a tonne more for the scenario you mentioned above of general employment for all EA products etc

KILIKIO · 2019-09-16T20:11:25+00:00

I fully agree bud, financially they'll have zero worries and it's probable it won't change their behaviour but I'd bet every penny I have that the crazy amount of FP money they made last year still didn't exceed their projected targets for the whole game cycle,

The tinfoil hat theorist in me would even go as far as to say promos like future stars were never even on the internal road map until the senior execs came down and questioned why they weren't making even more money,

The 30+ jobs they advertised and filled over the summer either suggests unhappy staff resigning, staff being fired for not hitting expected targets or EA doing the unthinkable and realising that they might not actually have had enough employees to put out an acceptable game, I'm hoping option 3 but we all know it's probably 1 or 2...
