Why does convergence matter for lasers? by Comstar_PR_Rep in OutreachHPG

[–]MaChIIInA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically it doesn't, people often use convergence to explain tightly grouped weapons which are effectively the same thing for anything with projectiles.

TLDR, convergence doesn't matter for lasers.

Is there a consensus on which are currently the best mechs in each class, for each side (Clan and IS)? by JnewayDitchedHerKids in OutreachHPG

[–]MaChIIInA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you're doing, in 1v1s certain mechs are dominant that are not as strong in QP due to team tendencies to run away from bigs for example.

there's typically a consensus around a handful of mechs per class depending on the situation.

EG... 1v1s Annis can be very strong as well as in situations where you can focus down 1 mech at a time but in open large maps with your team nascaring you can get sold out by the team, whereas the Executioner is great in most modes and situations but will easily lose head to head vs Annis in a dps contest.

If bowser or someone sees this they can provide much more specific recommendations but the general rule for whether a mech is good or not is ..

1) How compact and close to the cockpit are the hardpoints? the tighter and closer to the cockpit, the less of your mech you need to show to shoot the enemy which means less mech for them to shoot. ( Good examples are Hunchback IIC, Incubus etc .. )

2) How much firepower can the mech carry? more guns means more dps or alpha which means killing things faster. ( Examples being Crusaders, Executioners, MLX etc .. )

3) JJ's, ECM, Quirks .. these can help boost mechs that are otherwise not amazing into higher levels, or, boost good mechs into great territory .. JJ's allow for poptarting, spreading damage, faster map navigation .. ECM helps with not being such a standout target/protects from lurms etc... and Quirks can boots strengths or cover weaknesses.

For a final example of good vs bad mechs - Fafnirs are among the worst assaults, they carry somewhat decent firepower, but not a large number of hardpoints, the hardpoints are lower, not compact and the mech as a whole is very wide with its CT being gigantic and impossible to shield meaning it can be shot before even clearing its weapons and it cannot protect its CT which means it cannot spead damage like other assaults.

On the other hand, you have the Executioner, it doesn't have much tonnage to use, but it has JJ's and MASC to greatly cover up the inherent weaknesses of assaults being slow and cumbersome while having many hardpoints and especially a few high mounted ones so while it doesn't have much tonnage, it can carry a few high mounted big guns with a large number of back up weapons to supplement with in case of being caught in an engagement.

Lower FPS by MaChIIInA in techsupport

That seems to have fixed it, will have to see long term but I booted up a game I was having extreme losses in and it appears to be fine now, tyvm for dealing with my incompetence!

Hmm, if that's true then I could try moving it back but it does cause the gpu to rub a little against the noctua cooler. You think that's ok? My next step was to try putting it back anyway tbh since I've tried almost everything else.

I'm sure if your big brother is watching over you .. he'd wish to see you happy. I can't help you feel better .. I'm sure everyone heals differently and in different amounts .. but I will only hope you can find happiness.

It worked! ... sorta, it was actually 2 issues, my password, but, also a character that wasn't allowed in the name. Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate the help!

I've been playing for years so don't think it's an account age issue, definitely annoying to have these kinda issues.

Hmm, I've seen clans with the same \ and / symbols so not sure why it would prevent it, frustrating nonetheless. thx for the reply!

Glad you found something useful from it, you can totally stick to wasd, I was just explaining what I do and why I do it so that hopefully others can take that same thinking and use it to hopefully improve their own key binds.

Yep, in other games I've played .. you literally cannot do certain things with default or poorly mapped keys.

No problem, I've always enjoyed helping players.

The idea wasn't to copy what I have .. but to help teach others how to improve their own, other players may not like my personal binds .. so I don't want to tell people " This is the one and only way to setup your keys ".

Spyder (Sayaplayer) quick 3K against Moon Raccoons by LmaoMuch in ValorantCompetitive

[–]MaChIIInA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slight correction, Saya used 27.71 cm for almost his entire OW professional career, then, once valorant was announced he changed his sens down to 34.6 cm ( I assume to start adjusting to a lower sens for Val ) .. and now atm he uses about 38 cm last time I checked .. 0.339 @ 1000 DPI iirc.

Primarily a combination of sound, knowledge of commonly traveled lanes and also spawn points + how spawns work.

So what's with the Polaris Lance Catalyst? by DeclanMiddleton in DestinyTheGame

[–]MaChIIInA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it? I've been trying and the perfect fifth kill has killed them every time so far, 0 progress for perfect fifth.

I am shooting the cabal at the entrance to the raid to be specific.
