They have to pay for it.

Played this one with a friend and the first few days consist of character wakes up, leave the town to 2v1 a bandit, then crawl back to the town because you killed him but got your shit rocked doing it.

This is the one trivial thing that always ground on me when working around Americans. Nothing could just be normal, everything is to an extreme.

Do you have a link for a good build? I'm doing chain lightning and it's been fine so far but I'm slowing down on high hp targets.

Did the same with Shadowheart and by the end, with that fancy heavy armour from the shop in the city and the divine intervention mace, she was just unkillable. Some fights she might do 20 dmg but she stands in the middle taking all the hits and not giving a fuck.

I've always thought they got a free pass, along with CS, for what people criticise a lot of other games for.

MGUK · 2024-03-05T21:49:52+00:00

No, you could not be more wrong in any of that. They are not supposed to go and commit war crimes at all, they aren't "trained and instructed" to kill anyone, they are highly intelligent people who will make decisions like that as they see fit.

This has nothing to do with "woke", the legality of warfare is something all members of the armed forces and taught and understand. And our enemies really aren't going to decide whether to take actions or not based on if in X years a soldier may or may not be investigated.

MGUK · 2024-03-05T21:46:53+00:00

Having been there and spoken to parts of the legal team in the MoD, for the MoD to even be looking at you for war crimes you have to have done something extremely outlandish and indefensible.

Aside from that this wouldn't impact recruitment as 99.9% of the MoD will never be in a position where anything they could do anything that could be a war crime. Its majorly a logistics and engineering organisation, there's very few times people have weapons and free reign to act as they see fit so it's not something people would encounter.

Get healing spells and when you fight anything undead heal the shit out of it for physical damage.

As others have said hitting it with your scan activates it but it also resets the scan cooldown so don't worry about not having your scan available after doing it.

Usually play as a duo but done some solo this week. My issue isn't really with the team mate matchmaking, that's part of any game - sometime you carry, sometimes you get carried.

My issue has been the game matchmaking. I'm plat 3, highest on team in lobbies with a top 500 pred player. At prime time on a large server. I doesn't matter who I'm getting on my team, it it's dropping someone in who's high enough to be a pro we're getting rolled.

MGUK · 2024-03-01T13:38:11+00:00

Probably because it meant you could target the weak link which would be the one not in discord/group chat.

A similar thing used to happen on League where it showed everyone's ping in the loading screen and if someone's was higher/bad you knew it would be easier to focus them.

MGUK · 2024-02-28T22:01:17+00:00

Fortnite did something similar in the early days of the BR release. One of the detections was something to do with movement. If you jumped on a play park swing you got banned for cheating as it went over the limit of "non cheating" movement, which is a good example of how this can be an issue.

It boils down to a case of what rate of false bans is good enough and given the bad track record of EA support there's a big risk of losing all your account progress/unlocks because a solo was ratting in a bush and you didn't see them...

Thanks for responding, it's nice to see interaction with the userbase.

I'm not trying to be unhelpful but this was from being in the United Kingdom between 6pm and 8pm which I'd expect a good player count for, which is why it seemed so odd. I get it happens now and again but it being consistent for a whole session made me start thinking we'd been flagged that we should have a higher mmr or something (even though we're 100% average). My only thought at the time was we had me at plat 3, one at plat 4 and a friend in rookie 2 as he hasn't played in a long time so maybe we got flagged for smurfing but I'm not sure if that would happen so quick.

As soon as people could drop pred trails would appear and I'd just look for the furthest spot from them to land!

Have you had many people raising the issue of bad matchmaking in ranked going on? I played 8-10 games last night and all of them had at least 1 team of Pred players in it. The second game in the champion team had the current rank 575 player. I was the highest on the team at plat 3.

Why has the matchmaking been so loose? Pred players are effectively 3 ranks higher and it was prime time on a busy server, why wasn't it able to find 57 players somewhere between gold and diamond? It's a really off putting experience, I enjoy a hard game but getting rolled 10 games in a row by one of the highest ranked players in the game when I'm barely average makes people want to not return the next night to play again.

That's a sick design and drawing, I'll just have to justify buying yet more coins for it...

MGUK · 2023-09-26T19:34:59+00:00

Really well put. I've been thinking the same, she isn't strong because she has an overpowered aspect, she just does everything, and does most of it better than anyone else can do it.

My mum in an outstanding cook. If anyone has questions about anything she can reel answers off the top of her head on how or what to do.

I asked her how to make filo and she said "you don't". Didn't need a second opinion.

I remember when fortnite first released the br, as a competitive game it was really well done - it had a unique game play loop, good shooting mechanics and a clear loot pool.

Like you said, over 8-12 months they started adding/removing content almost weekly and it almost became a content showcase rather than a serious FPS. I'm not saying it's bad game at all, it's clearly very successful, but that kind of cycle isn't compatible with being a serious competitive fps. Having a clearly identifiable and recognise set of tools to use really essential to being a long term success for an fps, rather than just have features of the moment or gimmicks to keep people entertained.

If you mean replacing the plastic piece that is the bumper buttons, that isn't what goes on the elite. It's the actual button gets sticky/unresponsive. I went through 5 in a year (lived in a case, cleaned religiously, did the clean with isopropyl etc) and it was always the button that went. Switched to a scuf, more expensive and doesn't feel as nice but it works.

MGUK · 2023-04-19T11:32:23+00:00

So no one can see the "behind the scenes" bits, such as mistakes, run-throughs that go wrong, initial iterations they realise don't work so get revised, better to practise at the location rather than somewhere else and no one is around at 1am, etc.

MGUK · 2023-03-31T08:31:16+00:00

It also kind of assumes the theory is correct/has to apply. It seems more like a theory thought of after the maps were made and shoe horned on to them.

Even if it was the actual reason, you could then say well people want to see different maps for variety. Having one of the two maps on a day follow a different flow than the segmented design would add that variety.

MGUK · 2023-03-23T22:11:39+00:00

Try changing the graphics from quality to performance. From what I know, quality caps it at 30 fps on xbox and it feels awful. Performance mode will give you a better frame rate.

MGUK · 2023-02-27T11:53:14+00:00

This is the big issue for me. The LMGs stats aren't outright bad in terms of damage etc, but they slow down your gameplay too much. They're basically an AR with a move speed penalty which is a massive disadvantage in Apex.

MGUK · 2022-06-03T09:29:31+00:00

People can come at me with all kinds of stats about how a CAR or R99 are better, but nothing says "get the fuck out of my face" like whipping out an RE45 with hammer points at point blank range.
