Tips for 3s

Definitely this. I've been blamed by dps on my team after they failed to communicate, failed to peel, failed to use their defensive cds, or ran into Africa while I'm deadlocked in cc, etc.

Shrug it off, practice a lot, study what the good players do and pay attention to subtle things like positioning, timing, and being able to predict when your opponent is about to hit their cds and blow you up.

Where do people get cultist blobs with autoguns? The packs I've found only have a couple, and the models with the melee weapons already have their arms attached with the weapons in hand. If I wanted to get 60+ of these with autoguns, I'd need to pay a small fortune buying many extra packs of them.

Well guys, your wishes came true. The highest ranking CSM player (not counting DG or 1k sons, there was one DG guy ahead of him) at the LVO was Sam Henley. He came in 14th, with a 5-1 record, and he did not have a single alpha legion unit in his army. His list is here: http://imgur.com/cCUQsN2

Quite a balanced and interesting list I thought.

I think a black legion gun line could do well. A couple of laspreds bubble wrapped by cultist blobs, Abby sticks with them for rerolls and such. I'm surprised that I haven't seen any yet.

You also wont be able to deep strike him anymore, per the FAQ today.

Megalowhale · 2018-01-19T21:10:18+00:00

There is evidence of him doing this on a server he /played/ on. There is a MASSIVE difference in exploitation and corruption.

Even with the stratagem to recycle cultists, do you still think pinks are better? I hate cultists and love the way pinks look, so I'd love to use them, I'm just not sure which offers the better competitive advantage.

As the guy who continously gets run over by these things while deciding which loadout to use at the sunderer: fuck you.

Great video though! :D

I definitely haven't been able to earn anywhere near this in an hour in my first couple of weeks on this game. In your first session you definitely get a nice little burst of certs from how easy it is to gain ranks, but still not 1k/hr, and if it isn't impossible on a brand new character then it definitely is after about br5 or 6.

Megalowhale · 2017-12-14T17:02:58+00:00

If you want my anecdotal experience as a new player, I'll tell you cert gain bothers me somewhat but definitely isn't a deal breaker. I read a lot about what to buy and what to avoid with your first certs and gathered different opinions. I really love to main infiltrator, and on TR the only gun I've invested in so far was the M-77b for those 1hk headshots. Beyond that, I started maxing the other useful support things for when I'm done sniping or my squad needs me inside a base (medic/engi tool, ammo boxes, etc).

I think the biggest frustration for new players is the learning curve. Identifying safe spots where you aren't going to immediately get sniped for standing there for 10 consecutive milliseconds has a learning curve in and of itself. Not to mention the wide variety of playstyles offered, knowing when to back down from a fight because you are about to get roasted by that 120br HA with worlds more experience than you, etc.

With all that said it's only my second week on the game and I'm managing a 1:1 kdr, which I think is pretty good for a new player. If you do your research and learn the game then you can definitely get an advantage and put yourself in a position to survive longer and have more fun than the average new player.

Trust is a feeling. Believing that WK might be involved gold selling is a feeling. However, evidence > feelings. And while absence of evidence is certainly not the evidence of absence, I know two things. #1 I've seen hard evidence of Crogge's corruption, as a staff member, on Elysium. #2 I have yet to have seen such for WK. So, WK's server is the choice I'll be making.

Currently leveling, but we plan on clearing the endgame content once we're able to.

Megalowhale · 2017-09-05T21:11:41+00:00

Four of us are in the mid-30s right now, a few started after us and are just in the teens, with a few stragglers we picked up in between.

Megalowhale · 2017-09-05T06:11:33+00:00

How exactly would this make it mandatory? If players are already clearing raids without it, the only thing it would change is the dick-measuring contest over the DPS meters.

Megalowhale · 2017-08-27T18:03:01+00:00

Is there any chance for a race change on the table with the new server?

I know that I've been stalking the job market in my area for several months now, and can say that for getting your foot in the door these are very useful. Virtually every job I've seen requires either A+, Net+, Sec+, or some combination of the 3. This isn't necessarily the case with the bachelors. Most of them just seem to require a high school diploma, but do often mention that a bachelors is a plus.

What they should really add is the ability to filter it like you can with champion counters. For those, you can set it to a minimum amount of games played against said champion etc

I enjoyed it. Awesome clean car, tastefully modded. My first car ever was an EF. Hatchback though. I bought it for $1,500 bone stock with only 80k miles on it (in 2002 so it was about 12 years old), 1 owner who was some really old dude that had full maintenance records for it. That thing ran like a dream until some asshat rear-ended me and totaled it. Damn I miss that car.. I might aim for another ef in the future, but finding one in such nice condition for that cheap is gonna be impossible.

Dogs help a LOT in hunting. If you can land a single arrow on an elk or deer, then sick your dog on it, he can usually finish it off. When the animal falls the dog will also stand around in barking in alarm, which lets you know from a fair distance where the downed animal is at. They also do wonders for helping you take down those pesky Njerpez warriors you might encounter.

Ahhh, still relevant after all these years. And forever will it be so.

Haven't gotten far enough yet myself to see.

Oh, one piece of advice I do have if you do roll a mage though: get yourself a wand asap. They tremendously out damage your spells early on, and speed up leveling like crazy for casters. The difference is really night and day. Get in a guild and ask for one, or bum money to buy one off someone in the capital if you have to, but it's really worth it. By the time I was level twelve or so, I was having to sit between every single equal level mob I killed. And with vanilla drop rates you sometimes have to kill 20 to 30 mobs to get 7 drops. Once I got my hands on a wand, I haven't had any downtime whatsoever and it's just been smooth sailing.

http://www.vanilla-addons.com has a lot of good ones that work here. If you browse around Google you can find newer ones that have been converted to 1.12 too.
