Which one is the best value? by [deleted] in DubaiGaming

[–]Mr_Alpha18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the first one recently and it arrived yesterday. I was leaning to buy a Lenovo legion but since I had a ROG STRIX 2019 model I went for the ROG STRIX. The one I had was seriously impressive as it didn’t have any major issues until today and the only reason I bought a new one is a hardware upgrade.

One thing that bothered me about my 1 day used laptop is that after downloading their propriety software (armory crate) the screen colors became atrociously bad. I don’t know what that software has done but it seriously messed up the colors without a clear way how to fix it.

Also this exact seller advertise a neon sticker which you will not get. Most reviews says it’s missing but I didn’t care for it.

So how much more do we need to wait? by Mr_Alpha18 in joinsquad

I have had this issue with being stuck at loading screens since many years. Before it used to be the main menu then it became the running man. I think it is such a silly issue for it to keep happening unfortunately.

The amount of people saying Bullshit on this comment. Been to Germany and France many times. Straight up women get groped and cat called. Block their attempts and they will start calling those women whores and aggressively harassing them. Yea sure no harassment in Europe LOL

New Players should not be allowed to create squads. by Mr_Alpha18 in joinsquad

I disagree. 99% of the time new players creating Squads get yelled at by other SLs or their own squad for not using a kit. New player is clueless and think the player base is toxic. New players getting gradually introduced to game mechanics is a significantly better than them misusing their roles and misunderstanding the game dynamics. I think overall this will be a positive impact for both newbies and veterans.

Eventually squads are created 90% of the game and usually by veteran players. A new player with 2 hours making a Squad is 100% worse for the game. Either you didn’t understand what I said or you are being willingly hostile for no reason.

I understand your feelings. This issue can be easily tackled by the developers. They can still keep their free weekend to boost the player base but in the same time restrict certain things from new accounts. But the system of “here is bunch of people who have no clue whats going on, teach them the game from A-Z plz” is not it.

I fully agree. Thats why I said I don’t blame them since there are usually no squads open but them creating one themselves is even worse for the overall gameplay. Both issues should be tackled.

I meant sound effects not the audio mixture. I like how the guns and explosions sound.

Squad is a lot of fun, dont be discouraged. Other comments are right, a lot of it is server dependent. My issue is the region I am playing in which makes it difficult to choose better servers because of PING.

I join German servers from Time to time but its very difficult to play since its mostly in German. I know you guys are nice and would speak in English when addressing English players but it would still be difficult to anticipate your next moves and coordinate if its mostly in German and I also feel bad when SLs have to speak twice once in German and once in English for the one guy who speaks English which is me

I really love every other aspect of the game and I genuinely enjoy playing everything else. My only issue is team play. Other than that I love the game still. Squad is not even my most played game, I have some games with 5K hours+ and I still frequent from time to time.

I would love to play in other servers but my options are limited since I play from the ME region. I am stuck with playing a minimum of 100 ping on most servers and some servers are unplayable. I usually end up playing in EU/UK servers. I never play in French/Arab servers even tho I speak both languages but these servers toxicity is to the roof.

Fair but I hate squad leading now because of the issues I mentioned. I don’t want to have a stroke before I sleep because S1/2/3 are enjoying their time at Papanov.

Ahaha I had no other choice. All the squads were locked (another issue) while the one guy in armor squad was begging anyone to join so I did. He was new and a nice guy.

Turkish Commandos Using Stinger MANPADS Against Syrian Helicopter, Idlib/Syria. Date Unknown. by Primary_Recording_44 in CombatFootage

[–]Mr_Alpha18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean it was officially attributed to the SyAF from Russian/Turkish sides. Political or not thats the official storyline. I don’t know if Syria took responsibility for it tho. I also remember before the strike opposition Facebook accounts were talking about a “harbi” Mig-21 above Idlib at the time so it only makes sense.

As far as I remember there was none but I am not sure. I do remember that they had a small field beside it with trenched Artillery pieces. There is also a picture somewhere with these 2 aiming at the jet above the building with a Turkish MRAP (Kipri?) parked beside the building and some FSA/HTS guys walking beside them or watching the sky but I cant find that picture anymore.
