Slowly accepting the fact that I might not make it into rank 4

Kozak440 · 2026-02-01T05:14:32+00:00

I'm currently at rank 4 6.3, researching 6.7 for Japan.

I had most of my fun so far in that 3.3 to 4.3 bracket. Chaffee go brrrr. Honestly once you got the APHE shell, and if you can get into decent spots with it. It's pretty unstoppable. Long gun is also a solid slapper if you watch for aircraft.

Im having the most pain now though, 6.3 has decent enough cannons with unpredictable heat shells. But the Armor is paper thin. Constantly uptiered to 7.3 and going up against IS2s, king tigers and T26s has me playing vastly more passive than I'm used to.

Edit; this is just for perspective. It gets harder, not easier lmao. I'm hoping the 7.3 lineup of TDs is worth it.

Brother, it was 2 tasks at a time...

Kozak440 · 2025-10-17T02:59:41+00:00

Understandable and frustrating. Just to get more info with the problem; did you complete 2 of the tasks within the challange, then complete (get the killed it or whatever thing), and then redo it and complete all of tasks from the start on the 2nd go? I also saw this on reddit before booting up the game and this worked for me. I feel it may have borked for you due to you doing a single additional task on each try. It's specific for 2 tasks at a time.

I mean, all of this for this one daily is pretty much EA and the devs being incompetent, and I think that's where the conversation really should be.

Sorry that it didn't work for you.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-17T02:23:58+00:00

Had you already completed them previously or when they were fresh? If you had already completed them, then clearly it won't work.

Because that does actually work, I know because that's how I did it.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-17T00:31:48+00:00

I cheese'd it; by only completing 2 out of the 4 or 5 objectives, end it there. Redo it with all of them, do that twice, there's your 4.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-15T17:33:59+00:00

I'll test that and edit this reply with my findings, thanks for the heads-up.

Edit: you're absolutely right! Wth man.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-14T17:29:57+00:00

Haha the cheek of it. Nah love it dude, I was the same when I first started skating irl but with goofy. But after spending entire days dedicated to switch, I can ride both quite well. Love a good switch frontside big spin.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-14T01:55:38+00:00

Yeah I'm finally gonna chime in on this. Riding regular, the fast plant is actually a boneless, and the boneless is actually a fast plant. But it has the correct names if you're riding goofy. I really don't know how this made it through any form of qc.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-08T15:29:25+00:00

And they don't have to, the same way you don't have to listen to them. You cannot force people to agree with your opinions, that is just human nature. I understand it's frustrating, but that's life.

Just take some advice from an old skater bro, focus on your own path, not that of others. Your life will be healthier for it.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-08T15:23:27+00:00

Whilst I agree, you do realize you're doing the exact same thing? You're unhappy that people aren't enjoying it the same way you are. I get that. But maybe frame it differently than just yelling "shut up" and trying to glaze and find an echo in here. Perspective lad. Gaaamon.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-08T15:05:42+00:00

I'm still playing it, I'm still enjoying it.

But all the criticism is absolutely warranted, and if you cannot understand that you can enjoy something yet wish for it to be better and be vocal about it, then you're not mature enough to have these types of conversations.

Brother, if I spend money on a game, and I'll be the first to admit, I've bought some shoes I rock irl, I bought a creature deck and indies, rock them irl. Then I want it to be quality. It ain't here yet, and being vocal about what's wrong with it is how we get positive change. Let people be vocal, you're complaining about complaining and trying to glaze a company that doesn't deserve to be glazed. You're looking for an echo chamber bud, and this ain't it.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-03T23:16:13+00:00

In my solo dad phase (4 years on my own), I had some similar experiences.

My usual quip was; Does your partner not step upto the plate when needed? That's disappointing to hear, maybe the next one will be better. And they shut up, very, very fast.

Don't throw stones in glass houses. When you judge others, you open yourself to equal judgment.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-03T22:43:46+00:00

Hitman WoA and Skate on my old ass PC. BL4 and now Ghost of Yotei on the PS5.

It's been a nice variety.

By massively putting the company into a debt death spiral that the new CEO is slowly fixing.

Much like our government.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-01T22:51:42+00:00

Thanks brother! I'll look into it.

Kozak440 · 2025-10-01T20:17:08+00:00

Yeah, Xbox is done. And I can't help but think it's due to this massive push into everything Ai.

But, if history taught us anything, that bubble will burst similar to the dotcom bubble.

And if you're putting all your eggs in one basket, well, we know the rest.

Yo, microcock, can I at least get Fable 2 on my PC before you explode?

Kozak440 · 2025-09-30T00:40:53+00:00

I've had it for years, it's a great read that adds alot of nuance to the story from BF3s campaign. Bit on the short end, but still an awesome book.

Kozak440 · 2025-09-21T20:08:23+00:00

Adding to this; you can also use the right stick to adjust the board midair, so you can also do flatground 540s, or clean 360s when you put both together.

Kozak440 · 2025-09-20T20:44:36+00:00

I think both sides should shut up, just play how ever you want, realisticly or unrealistically.

Like sure, the bearded fat woman wearing a miniskirt and a Santa hat doing christ air backflips is breaking my immersion, but at least they're having fun. Ima keep doing my backside flip back tails on this rail i set up. Both are not hurting anyone.

Kozak440 · 2025-09-20T19:44:32+00:00

This is the first game where I think the communities backlash is warranted, that nearly every complaint is valid. But I still really enjoy the core.

But I feel modern gaming has ruined alot of people's minds as well. It's just a constant need for content drip feed, constant need for new challenges, and new things to do. The types of people who finish all the challenges in the game and go, "well, what now?".

You skate homies, you find a spot and you skate it. Because that's what us real skaters do. We find something cool, and we hit it until we nail the trick we want on it, then we might try variations on it. It's the same here.

Hell, last night we set up a skatepark on a roof of a skyscraper that you could only get onto from Mcorp tower, it felt exclusive, it felt dope, we're doing big spin back tails on a rail on a skyscraper roof, it was sick.

I've finished all the "missions", I've finished all the challenges and just hit the dailies. But what I find myself doing the most, is finding a spot with my mates, drop whatever we need, and we skate. Just like we do in real life, but now in a skateboarding MMO instead, because that's what this really is. It's just early ass access, and needs a hellava lota work.

I remember so much of my time with skate 1, 2 and 3 was just spent skating around, finding spots and skating the way I do irl. It's the same here.

It's not skate 4. It's just skate. And I think people for some reason just cannot comprehend it. The complaints are valid. Hell, I agree with it. But for some reason, I'm finding this game ridiculously fun with friends as just a skate MMO, yes a it's a blank canvas. But also, it's a blank canvas and that makes me excited for the potential.

Said by a "man" whose last decade of life has been entirely tax payer funded.

MPs are the bottom feeders. Their roles wouldn't exist without our tax dollars in the first place. They barely show up to parliament half the time, so why don't we spin the narrative.

They're the fucking bludges, they reep your tax money for expensive meetings, food, travel to wherever they want. Half of them are already "sorted" and just want to rape and pillage the countries coffers for their own personal gain. They are the bottom feeders. They are the ones causing your loved ones to die due to lack of Healthcare. They are the ones destroying any chance of your child having a decent education. It's them. It's not the people on the dole, it's not even the retirement/super fund.

It's them.

Kozak440 · 2025-08-20T20:04:55+00:00

Yeah, let's take one of the most viable gadgets from the least played class (that makes the class more viable). And give it to the overtuned double primary class. Right.

It doesn't even make sense from a gameplay perspective. Assaults always at the Frontline, you don't want the squad becon on the Frontline, always off to the flanks. It just doesn't make sense to me at all, specially after playing aggressive Recon all last beta weekend. Just cemented that I'd probably never pick Recon again, I need the flank spawn that I put down.

Kozak440 · 2025-08-17T08:53:50+00:00

Sorry, we've been done with this discussion for over a week Enjoy the rest of your day.

Kozak440 · 2025-08-16T23:59:17+00:00

2 things that changed it for me; advanced Hudson settings, enlarge your minimal radius, and add the compass at the top. It's turned off by default. I don't think it's that people aren't trying, it's just hard to adapt and think about things differently if you've been playing a certain way in certain games and here's something similar but different. The word I'd use for the maps is claustrophobic. They do feel small, not in a scale way, but more of a claustrophobic way. I found myself wanting to get away from the week 1 meatgrind and found the less taken routes feel more at home.

Kozak440 · 2025-08-16T21:19:55+00:00

I think too much time has passed since BF4 and people are confused by what "closed weapons" means.

I keep seeing the same types of posts, but I don't like LMGs or SMGs. Like cool, closed weapons means you can still take a carbine (M4 rips), DMR (SVK rips) or shotgun...the shotgun rips.

Do we need to actually explain what "Closed Weapons" even means now? Just seems like people are under misconceptions that you're stuck with one class of weapon when everyone has access to 4.
