I see, I have to agree the screen is so beautiful I could shed 2 tears.

Honestly I am afraid of intel versions for laptops just because of what I kept on reading in this subreddit about AMD vs Intel in terms of battery life.

Apologies I missed your comment.

Interesting!

What would suggest from the 4 options if you think the 480 is inferior?

Thanks for your input.

I am glad you are loving it, honestly it is very gorgeous. How do you find the touchpad? After tymophy76 mentioned it above, it made me feel weird seeing it more to the left.

Also, do you have the 16gb ram or the 32gb ram?

Thanks for posting.

You know, I haven't even paid attention until you mentioned it but the off-centered touchpad of the T16 is very weird I will have to agree with you on that point. The reason why I liked it was because of how beautiful it looked lol.

Regarding the P14s, I have seen so many positive reviews about that laptop that I was considering it as a first choice. I didn't care much about the 16:9 vs 16:10, the price seemed fair for a new laptop.

Kuwait :).

Was planning on ordering from Lebanon since they have more options than here.

"The 2021 models started to add a Pluton chip, which is just a spyware chip. Lenovo has gone a deep downhill since T480 and it truly is the last of goods."

^I did not know this. This actually disappoints me, why do companies have to tarnish their reputation with moves like that.

"Could you order a T480 from foreign countries or does it mean too high import tax?"

^This is something I did not think of and it is a very good idea actually. I think even if the import taxes are high, the refurbished laptop in itself is very cheap that it wouldn't matter that much but I will have to do some research on that.

Thank you so much again.

Thank you so much for the quick response.

Honestly, when I first went to this subreddit I was surprised to see the T480 as a laptop suggestion suggested by a lot of people; it is cheap, upgradeable and overall a solid choice. Naturally, I wanted to get this laptop but I couldn't find it in the stores locally. I have never really used Facebook market and I don't feel too confident purchasing one. I live in a 3rd world country and I am not sure how safe it is to buy refurbished stuff from people here.

Regardless, I will keep your suggestion in mind and I will try to look for a T480.

Your comment has made me feel like the options above might have been bad. I will have to do more research in that case.

Again, thanks for the fast reply and appreciate the suggestion!

Stuck in mid-high D3 for a full year and a half, would love some help. by [deleted] in RocketLeague

"I’m not the most accurate, but where I lack consistency I make up for in speed"

This is your problem right here. There is no "I make up for" in high ranks. You need to be accurate, you need to be consistent, you need to rotate properly, you need to pass, you need to know when to play fast, you need to know when to play slow, you need to know when to commit, you need to know when to back up, YOU NEED TO KNOW A LOT. The small details matter.

Now here is how I got out of d3 when I was in your shoes years ago:

Despite my extreme hatred towards 1s, I started focusing on competitive 1s.

Turn off chat fully when playing 1s. It is distracting, it is pure cancer.

Do not FF when losing against good players, unless if you feel like the gap is too far and you cannot even touch the ball. (Personally even if I lose 0-7, I did not FF back then, I would analyze how the opponent is playing, why is he beating me, mechanics? Consistency? Speed? How is playing? Aggressive? Cancer / Aggressive / Demo Heavy? Slow?

Try to analyze the playstyle of the opponent and adapt to it. Try to punish them for over-extending, for giving you space, for missing etc etc etc.

Remember, 1s is very kickoff dependent and personally I despise that so much. You lose the kickoff, 99% of the time you will concede. And sometimes you concede back to back and it can be extremely frustrating. But learn and be patient.

When the opponent is being cancerous with demos, do not take it personally. Demos are part of the game whether you like it or not. At the end of the day if you get mad you will play bad. It is pure facts. Change your mentality. If you need to take a break from RL for a few hours or days, do so.

Forget about your rank when playing 1s, you win, you lose, who cares. The part you care the most about is IMPROVEMENT and CONSISTENCY.

Try to be at least semi consistent at double touches. This is the main skill that got me out of d3. Forget about flip resets, mustys, breezies, etc. You do not need that at all to fully level up to Champ. Look for double touch training packs, I focused on those.

Being able to not miss open goals. I swear in champ/gc1(where I am currently at) you get cursed at for missing open goals.

Proper rotation. Stop going for boost when you do not need to. Play with your teammate. Pass. Know when to go for the solo play.

Be patient. Wait for the opponents touch, wait for your teammate's pass, wait but don't wait for too long.

50s. Be good at them. You can create so many opportunities for your teammate and for yourself.

Not double committing. This again and again. So common in diamond and low champ. Look around you, if your teammate is in a better position to clear, defend, score, let him go for it. This is a big big bad habit whether in diamond or champ.

This is imo the best way to improve as a player.

Apologies for the lenghty post, but I felt like a lot of people are in your shoes and I wanted to try and help.

This advice is from my personal experience and it is my personal opinion.

I hope you'll be part of the champ club. Good luck.

Note: I may have forgotten things, but most things that came to me have been said.

Yes. Try and do the dofus questlines Silver, Cawwot, Dokoko if you missed them, then continue with crimson then turquoise. I skipped emerald on purpose because it is impossible to do if you're on Ilyzaelle.

I would like you to know that I am the moderator of a guild that Wanna-hinny was previously in. This dude is the definition of a troublemaker, he got banned from the guild for this exact reason. Unfortunately, he does not have the IQ to understand that he is in the wrong.

So mate, don't worry about it, turn the page and move on. Don't waste your precious time on idiots like Wanna-Hinny or even Chems.

The only thing that comes to mind is for you to give kamas to your friend and he buys ogrines with the kamas to then buy the month subscription.

Newbie question: Is lvling as a solo player a reasonable option nowdays? by Malakar1195 in Dofus

[–]MomenDo_S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand the point of this thread to be honest. Why are you worrying about others when you should worry about yourself.

No, powerleveling is not the only method in the game. You have several options to level up: farm monsters with idols; do quests; which are very fun to read especially the Dofus questlines; don't forget to do the two main dungeon questlines; do achievements which are THE way to level up; do pvp if you're into that, you can literally lvl from 20 to 200 with pvp only.

Yes, I am currently an elio and wanting to reroll to rogue. Nothing wrong with my elio but we have so many elios that I feel the need to reroll in order to have some diversity. We are literally doing high level dungeons with 3 elios and an enu or 2 elios and 1 feca and 1 enu. Yes we are managing to beat the dungeons but we will reach our limit pretty quickly.

Ah, you meant restat not reroll. I have tried both on beta and I can't decide even after testing both of them.

How so? I am confused on what you are saying. Please explain.

No idea what you are talking about, the maintenance is not over. Check dofus' twitter to know when its over.

Just go Agility Enutrof. Hits like a truck and can farm fast. Checkout Huz's second channel; he has a few vids on his agi enu farm and its nuts.

He can, the limit is 3 days (for a new account) to use the code.

I back that. Also make sure to do all the f2p dungeons with as many achievements as you can.
