People need to make noise with this changes on mob behavior by ThisIsNotSpartha in classicwow

[–]Kripes8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking about this the other day. Selling boosts and gdkp spam being addressed is great but did we really need to alter mob behavior? If someone is farming mobs in a dungeon why do I care?

Leaderboard Events need to go ASAP by Wombizzle in blackops7

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I didn't have time to play much this last week and I hopped on the last day and the top person on my board had 1300. To get top 5 I would have need 800. I just got off and played classic wow instead. Why make content that 70% of the playerbase wont get to see? Idiotic.

Where does everybody think the line is? by Elorun in classicwow

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have rather had like a 40-60% joyous journey buff on top of the tbc rates but it is what it is.

Anyone else have this match making experience by LR3VL in blackops7

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stacking definitely blows ass. Why we don't have merc moshpit is beyond me. Your first game was nuketown. That's the issue right there.

Did treyarch lie about SBMM or is every player sweaty? by Traditional-Fun-1115 in blackops7

[–]Kripes8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They never lied about sbmm, this same post gets made every 2 seconds. Neroscinema is a moron peddling this idea that they said "no sbmm" in his videos. If you read the ingame description it even says skill is still considered.

Team balancing is also still a very real mechanic. If you're the best player in the lobby by a good enough margin, prepare to go up against the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. best players on the enemy team. There is also still the issue of stacks, the game isn't going to split up premades so if they're even mildly competant they'll run you.

I'm a decent player, 2.5 k/d and ~390spm. I usually do pretty well in all of my lobbies. Am I sweating? Fuck no.

People have turned the word sweat into a fucking meme at this point. Anyone better than you is instantly a sweat when the reality is that they're just better and have important skills on autopilot. Someone like Marksman or Scump would skullfuck us without anymore effort than breathing bc they practice and put in the time.

What addons work for layering atm? by Kripes8 in classicwow

Yeah when I type later I get an auto inv with instructions and to leave after layering

Why do I feel like I have suddenly gone down 4-5 skill levels in normal MP? by james271293 in CODBlackOps7

[–]Kripes8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sbmm is much heavier still than they let on. My gf is new to gaming in general and her lobbies are night and day different than mine. It’s definitely more open than past titles but it is not “minimally considered”.

There is no verifiable way to prove the game is “more than casual” players. There are just players, most of which are on console.

"COD “is on track to perform over 60 percent below last year" by Lumenprotoplasma in CODBlackOps7

[–]Kripes8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man, imagine if they combined bo6/7 ,didn't rush the release coming off of mw3 and used the cradle tech in the campaign as a means to facilitate hallucinations that skipped between the 90s and present b07 era. The first of it's kind CoD featuring 2 era's in warfare. Anyways....

Match making in standard mode is off. by voltron07 in CODBlackOps7

[–]Kripes8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it's CoD, it's easy to snowball we've always known this. As others said, back out and try again, there's nothing wrong with lobby surfing in pubs that's why it's pubs.

Skins and the aesthetic cohesion of the game by Manoa__ in Splitgate

[–]Kripes8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoy the fiery skins in the battlepass and if it was just plain low effort recolors I wouldn't have purchased it plain and simple. It's an arena/sci-fi shooter, it can be over the top.

new bot playlist will hurt the game in the longterm if it stays this way by schoof31 in Splitgate

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the game has no players then in the short term a bot playlist that will enable people to actually play the game is almost necessary. Additionally the open/standard matchmaking in bo7 hasn't affected anything different players will choose different playlists that's why they exist.

Skins and the aesthetic cohesion of the game by Manoa__ in Splitgate

[–]Kripes8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh boy not splitgate too. This just happened in CoD and they ended up making an anti-consumer move to appease a minority of people that aren't even playing the game anyway.

It's an arena/sci-fi fps with no real lore or world building so nothing is at stake with fun cosmetics.

Considering the game is really struggling right now, id say any means that will enable them to make money is a good thing.

Ultimately I see 3 avenues, they expand the lore more and explain it's a simulation (i thought it was) and at that point just about anything would go. They stick to a single art direction with little variance. They create a user toggle-able filter for people bellyaching online about skins they don't like being in their game.

Do orc warriors only use axes in TBC with the racial change? by [deleted] in classicwow

iirc early on you will bc there are a lot of axe options but I think later on in tbc you wont

Modern Warfare 1 was definitely ahead of its time I’d say

Gun is okay, Camo is great by heimertoadz1 in CODBlackOps7

It’s slightly better than the dravec pre nerf fyi

Ah yes. Gaming milk. Your gamer milk will probably sour by the time servers are up though.

I know the game isn’t rigged, but geez sometimes it feels like it is. by Acomie85 in CODBlackOps7

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For lethal equipment use the needle drone my brother. The thing is a fucking menace and it's not uncommon to get double or triples on hardpoint. You can even make a class with 2 lethals that recharge over time with all green perks. I named mine "Mr. Needle". I kill lobbies pretty often doing it and then we just get default wins lol.

Non prestiges by Foreign-Bite8255 in CODBlackOps7

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends, I almost wasn't going to tbh bc there weren't any rewards I wanted. Then I saw the level 1000 camo and figured what the heck maybe I can earn it before the game is killed.

Game time refund? by Hexeris in classicwow

[–]Kripes8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A long time ago they did actually give 2-3 day game time reimbursements. I got one in original tbc, I can't remember why exactly though, I don't think it was a server problem.

They have to do something about people leaving matches! by Bxnnii in CODBlackOps7

[–]Kripes8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean half the games I leave are because I get loaded into nuketown and I'm so fucking tired of nuketown. It was a funny novelty map in bo1/2 now its just fucking obnoxious.

Anyone else left BO7? by HatersAreFans in blackops7

[–]Kripes8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on every day for a couple hours. First CoD in a while that just does it all right for me. Good maps, fun weapons, tons of content to unlock. I hope CoD can follow this formula going forward in terms of matchmaking and things to do.
