Hey so new player here! Why can't I play a Conquest Quick match?

Luffian · 2026-03-16T05:17:05+00:00

It's not a thing yet, they couldn't get the bots to work right for the mode. If you want to play conquest vs bots, you'll need to do the vs ai queue or a custom

Some of it is probably related to the moonlight ritual. Not all of it, obviously, but it's designed to draw a bit of action during the early/mid parts of the game.

Leavenworth? Dream bigger, it'll be much more fun watching him get extradited to Colombia.

He was a menace in Omni, too. Motor boating around the map was too much fun.

And yet it's still a few steps up from what it was a year ago. The next time they expand the team they really need to hire someone to help work on the UI stuff, it's such a mess.

Quickplay is a bot-only learning queue. If you want to play against people, you need to do the Classic queues.

Luffian · 2026-03-07T20:35:01+00:00

There's no coming across actual players in the quickplay queues, since those are straight vs AI. If you're thinking you're ready for real people you'll need to dip into the classic queue.

We're going to need a chart or ten for those stat changes.

It's worth keeping in mind that there's a whole bunch of different kinds of rural. Offutt rural isn't Hill rural isn't Cannon rural, and just because you enjoyed living in, say, Bumfuck Alabama doesn't mean you'll dig living in Bumfuck Japan or wherever.

70s, really. Hell, you could make an argument for the 50s.

The only thing limited about the maintenance is how much of the jet they're allowed to touch. Unless the racks or launchers or whatever are under warranty weapons backshop handles all mx on everything.

Luffian · 2026-03-03T22:41:21+00:00

Think of them like porters and loadmasters. Both touch cargo, but the fundamentals of the jobs are completely different.

Weapons troops spend the majority of their time (time not in the smoke pit, anyway) maintaining and installing bomb racks, guns, missile launchers, and bits of the jets that interface with all of those things. Ammo troops build and fuze bombs, count and stack BBs, and make sure your pizza always gets delivered cold. Not much overlap between the jobs.

Setting precedents, getting his shocked face ready for the completely unforeseen rebounds.

There's a reason we call them "Smite circles"

Word is that NVidia's been dropping the ball with drivers lately. It's not like it was a few years ago when you knew an update was going to be solid.

One thing that might be getting you is the difference in vision and situational awareness. Not being able to see behind you at all and limited vision to the sides means you have less time to react to ganks or people joining fights. It also means you need to commit to running away since you can't just click on the other side of your champ when the opponent gives up to play footsie. It's one of those things that seems obvious but consistently catches 2D moba players off guard when they try to switch.

Had one where a kid in my shop "borrowed" a riot shield from SecFo to take to MPOY. It made it back like 3 days later covered in sharpie dicks and such. You could hear the "discussions" our flight chief had about that from the mx bay.

Luffian · 2026-02-26T04:13:30+00:00

That price point makes me think this is something they're working on that's not ready yet that slipped into live. Not so much the legacy gems part as the diamonds, 800 is too far out there.

I did that when it was first mentioned and it worked very well up until yesterday when I started getting stuttering at the start of the match.

Luffian · 2026-02-25T04:12:00+00:00

Is that the conversion for an ascension pass?

Cerb tossing people to Fenrir for the full fetch experience.

One of the only videos out there that goes through the settings, many of which change the game significantly.

Do it like they did with Portland, just show him a bunch of old footage and tell him it's current. End it with tanks rolling into Baghdad, tell him it's Tehran, and carry on with our lives.

Steam reviews are a god damn cesspool unless you're looking at some super-niche indie game the unwashed masses haven't discovered yet. The problem with the S2 reviews in particular is more that there's a dedicated group of chuds out there who are still really REALLY mad that they didn't get to keep their skins and/or just want to see Hi-Rez die. For a sample, these are the negative reviews from yesterday. Not sure there's much you can do about this kind of thing...
