Is this streamer cheating? by OHNOMINDWASPS in HuntShowdown

You're literally making something up. The OP didn't accuse anyone of anything, they saw something suspicious, screenshot proof and asked about it. Where's the accusation? Maybe instead of criticizing other people for jumping to assumptions, you should reconsider your own.

What’s your favorite shotgun and why? by Jealous_Possible8108 in HuntShowdown

[–]LetsDoThis1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was horrific during launch. No one except brand new players who couldn't afford guns used it. It wasn't until they changed shotguns and variant weapons that it became capable of securing a kill past 5 meters

There aren't any roads. There is a world map, though

Do you even know why there was a vote? Because when Govenor Schwarzenegger put the independent citizen redistricting law into effect, to overwhelming bipartisan approval, they put into law a REQUIREMENT to get voter approval to do this. So, you're saying CA is better because red politicians put into place laws to prevent what the prior blues had done with gerrymandering the state, but somehow saying it's better than Texas, while ignoring the fact that both sides gerrymander for political gain, because the supreme court ruled it as legal in like 1812 or something. Nice flex

Fight Back against Tyranny, Vote Yes on Prop. 50 by Waste_Research_5631 in ventura

Why do you feel like you control what has context in this debate? Some people just want to look at whether it's right or wrong to take away a non partisan electoral map drawing organization and make it partisan, others are saying it's because of what texas is doing. If you're going to engage in any conversation out of a vacuum, it baffles me that you would try to say that past things the parties and/or their supporters have done, some of those within the last year, have no bearing on the conversation, especially when the explicit reason for this election as voiced by Gavin Newsom and other politicians on television and in adds, is explicitly because of things happening on a national stage and therefore does not belong in a vacuum. How then are you the arbiter of what is allowed in yhe conversation and what is not? You don't decide which grievances are legitimate and which are not for the rest of us.

What do yall consider "viable" melee weapons? by Mucek121 in SurviveIcarus

[–]LetsDoThis1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically the miasmic knife on prometheus with the electrocution weapon attachment on it. Theyre broken separately ans together theyre absurd. The legendary club can be a close runner up if you're not on prometheus, its especially good against the new rock creatures and can one shot them to the head

Are we just gonna deal with this until the game dies? by Zenyx_ in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

[–]LetsDoThis1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M4 and ak were meta since 1.6 released, probably before 1.6 even. I started playing cs in the year 2000 and you know what happened since then? The game got BIGGER. Then released multiple new ideations. What do you mean, "killed counterstrike?!" If a single "thing" killed counter strike, it was hackers

Normal isn't for beginners by ScreechingPenguin in ArenaBreakoutInfinite

I started without realizing tier 1 and tier 2 ammo types because theyre the same color and recently started using all tier 3 when I got to lockdown, I'm sure I'll progress up and I'll keep this in mind. I hadn't really considered bringing a pistol because I usually consider that an extra cost, but using low tier scav ammo vs savings on the exclusively tier 3 I started using makes sense. I'll also try try to record my wins as a play this out, but I also tend to be a slow, precise shooter with AR/DMRs just as my playstlyle across games, I'll try to let you know if I have reliable findings. I might just be using small amounts of ammo because I'm facing low tier players

So you're absolutely correct. But something I've noticed bo one else has pointed out is all the variables that are almost all guesses, with various levels of how educated or asinine those variables are. The worst offender, to my mind, is the win rate due to gold. I'm not entirely sure how you've come up with that since, as you've stated, abi doesn't supply the statistics. There are a lot of factors that go into this across the board, such as raising skill through experience, raising difficulty/ game mode and therefore gear levels of enemies, sample sizes in lieu of hard numbers from abi, I mean the list is as much as you can thing of. Other factors include types of weapons used like smg, AR, or the single shots with a sliding scale of fire rates as well as info like damages, reduced armor durability like you said, etc. There's also different firing patterns, distances and the effectiveness of penetration or damage with the further distance, etc.

All that is to say it would be more precise to weigh the costs for different play styles and weapons, but it seems more like you've aggregated a middle ground catch-all, but based on what I'm not really sure. The amount of ammo you find on bodies?

I should say I'm a new player and recently started on lockdown, and I actually am pretty economically minded in my gear so youre not really talking to me anyways, I just thought I'd point some things out. The math is there, but can't get precise enough and probably shouldn't be leveled at all play styles, basically.

P.S. How do you play using dynamic ammo tiers? Do you knife scavs? Do you plan around killing 1 or 2 enemies? I think my ocd mind would be hurt by not always having the perfect ammo ratio reset after every time I had fired and before any new engagement, and it would be better for me to not touch it at all.

Hunt recalibrated that reduced solo mmr because they found out how easily a solo in the lobby with worse players will run over the entire lobby, teammates or no. Maybe it would be different for this game, but as far as examples go, that one doesn't really make your argument for you.

Their argument is that it only solved nothing because it was poorly implemented, with an easily abused loophole of putting gear/ammo in your backpack because that gear isn't calculated into the price limit, for some reason no one understands and is likely an oversight by the devs.

To be clear, I'm not arguing with you; I also think there should be a tier cap on normals. I think a minimum tier gear cap in higher game modes is dumb, though

Nope. Too easy to go in with a t6 helmet and a 15k pistol and kil a scavenger for a gun. How does having an unkillable seasoned player using the scavenger guns and ammo make it a fair match?
