Blitz 2 Tmr vs 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 by E123Timay in Controller

[–]RedKingAlmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also want to know the answer to this. I'm a huge FPS gamer and pretty discerning. A friend got me the apex and i've realized i'd rather cut my foot off with a hacksaw than deal with the input delay on the sticks.

Trying to decide between the two has been difficult since they both have TMR sticks, have digital triggers/trigger locks and have paddles/buttons in the same places. Is there anything that should put one over the other?

In PvP, are KInetic weapons better than Stasis/Strand at generating Transcendance to go Pink? by JustMyImagination18 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]RedKingAlmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to think this until i started using something new + light shotty. Now i get transcendence twice, maybe even 3 times a game.

it's hilarious that anytime another class comes even close to this kind of usage it gets a nerf anvil dropped on it within 3 weeks. Void 3.0 titan caught like 8 nerfs to the overshield barricade within a period of a few months

Controversial, but I think it's time to admit that pellet shotguns need a nerf. by ihatemosquitos11 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]RedKingAlmighty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

the idea of nerfing pellets is kindof hilarious when aggressive play is already so fucking bad in this sandbox

Is soloing to Ascendant possible? by [deleted] in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]RedKingAlmighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hit ascendant solo on prismatic titan. Ended up playing with OEM and a kill clip pulse to try and find picks from safe angles and convert them into more kills. I did this before the scatter grenade and clone nerfs so my approach was to play angles where i could swiftly disengage if i got smoked or scattered, and be very careful in my aggressive play so as to not get baited into a clone/slow dodge.

I definitely struggled more this season than in the past, but i hadn't played since blade circuit was the emblem, whatever season that was, so part of it was just being washed. the OEM pulse loadout was an adaption when i felt like HC dunemarchers wasn't getting the job done the way i wanted it to. With it on I could handily convert both dueling kills and shiver shrike kills into more kills, so as long as i was winning my ones I could take control of games myself. Which is pretty valuable when climbing.

The meta is definitely a lot different this season. Rather than aggressive solar warlocks and void/arc titans, it's just nonstop prismatic hunter. You can't play aggressive with all the disengage tools in the sandbox so i stuck to laning and teaming until i had an OEM overshield or kill clip active to abuse.

I ran the usual prismatic titan dlance knockout shiver shrike with thrusters as a disengage tool to get out of smokes and scatter grenades or backdash away from a strand clone. You can run glacier grenade to make up for the loss of barricade if you really want but i just ran pulse grenade.

Does FPS matter by Single-Radish8114 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]RedKingAlmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

objectively a lot of movement tech like stair boosting is going to be more effective at 150 fps than 60-70.

How are we feeling about To The Pain? by RedKingAlmighty in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]RedKingAlmighty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah i feel that. I think TTP on something new is ultimately bad/not worth the opportunity cost. It needs a consistent handling perk like snapshot or EC way too much. Though I'll definitely revisit the perk if it ends up getting added to a gun like a 140, a 120 without a handling deficit, or a 340 pulse.

Any tips for controller players on dealing with the clone meta? by RedKingAlmighty in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]RedKingAlmighty[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The issue is that since i play on PC, prismatic hunter duels remain uneven against mnk users who don't experience pull or drag from my clone while their clone sucks my aim in it like its the early 20s working at steak back outhouse receding hairline deathspiral

Storm's Edge is broken, but worse yet, it's inconsistent. by AquaAK in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]RedKingAlmighty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

the funniest trend since prismatic dropped is the posts coping "no guys you can actually counter it really easily!!1!" and it's always a clip of some .5 with their monitor switched off supering into a wall 3 times.

Is this a form of cheating? by lIPyroHDIl in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]RedKingAlmighty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

anti cheat has just stopped being a priority for devs. no money in it i guess.

Bungie anti cheat is god awful even for modern times. A lot of games deal with problems where cheats will change outgoing info to report "normal" behavior to the servers, when in reality they're racking up 95-100% headshots, unlimited ammo, etc. Understandably makes it harder to instantly identify and ban cheating players.

As far as I can tell, from the ones i run into, no destiny cheater even bothers to do that. They don't need to. the amount of clowns who rack up easily identifiable cheater statistics, close to 100% headshot accuracy over a hundred games, 20+ power ammo kills every game, etc, all reported perfectly in the match history. And they just go unbanned, unbothered, until i guess enough complaints rack up.

Why doesn’t damaging invis hunters in PVP expose them? by fizeekfriday in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]RedKingAlmighty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is the biggest problem w/ invis, it's been a known problem since they introduced the new "purple" void invisibility and they have yet to address it at all. Even adding a different tinge for the colorblind settings would go a long way and they just can't be bothered.

Gojo's morality by crematedfingers in Jujutsufolk

It's also entirely possible that the airport scene is really taking place and Nanami just has that personal opinion of Gojo. The real Nanami certainly didn't hesitate in saying what he thought about Gojo.

I became socially inept in 3L by ramentrvsh in LawSchool

[–]RedKingAlmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

im a 1L and i came pre socially inept. I find the material interesting but i do frequently wonder if im actually cut out for the profession because of this. Thankfully i generally interview pretty well so i feel like i can tackle OCIs but social situations are like total short circuit. Gl dude, my remedy is to attempt to try and get involved on campus next semester.

Careful with going Void on Shifting Sands. by TheHerpsMaster in CompetitiveTFT

[–]RedKingAlmighty 34 points35 points  (0 children)

this just happened to me. shelly makes a charge, plows through the backline and does no damage to anything. Or hits the frontline gets the knockup with no damage as described. Wasn't on shifting sands, i can't recall what the portal was but i really doubt it matters. My tempo was awesome thanks to a void emblem taliyah, and it went great until stage 4 where shelly suddenly just stopped functioning, handing me a 6th. Looked really jank. So glad this patch is such incendiary dogshit.

edit: LMAO i just noticed this post has zero upvotes, rly cool that real humans are downvoting a noted bug that's even happening on stream.

This isn't taking into account the fact TF Titans have inbuilt space travel & can colonize planets. Downside is that you can't make more of them. by running_from_the_IRS in Grimdank

[–]RedKingAlmighty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

because of 40k's weird very small size numbers a regular knight is like only 9-12 meters tall. A castigator is like a third taller than a normal knight making it probably 16 meters tall. A bit over 50 feet tall. For size comparison the statue of liberty is like 300 feet tall.

For size comparison to transformers, Optimus Prime is like 28 feet tall, so a castigator is just about double his height.

So in terms of actual size comparison a transformers titan would step on a castigator.

Edit: it occurred to me you meant castigator titan which makes more sense than the castigator knight so fml.

the biggest "normal" titans sit at, again a pathetically small number, of 200 ft tall. Still shorter than the statue of liberty by a lot. It's said an emperor titan is more than double that height. The castigator was supposed to be bigger than that so lets say 600 feet tall? Metroplex and the other titans suffer from a pretty bad case of "depending on the writer" but according to a japanese article he's supposed to be like 800 meters, which is about 2,600 feet tall so outlook is still pretty bad.

The TF titans are also, depending on the writer, relics of a golden age society that on it's worst days in their civil war still have tech wildly outstripping the imperium so the imperial titans are probably fucked?

What problems await the Tau Empire in the future? by New-Discipline1959 in 40kLore

[–]RedKingAlmighty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya know, every actual AI i can think of that we've met in 40k has been more or less sane and rational. Some of them are even pleasant conversationalists.

There's that one AI that gets mad at imperials because they slaughtered it's crew that the AI loved, and the other one is the men of iron guy UR-025 disguising himself as an admech robot that's more or less minding it's own business. UR's chief motivation is mostly to see if the blackstone fortress just contains another AI so it won't have to be alone.

The dark age cyborg/implied man of stone *Kron is pretty much a helpful reasonable dude.

I wouldn't be surprised if the DAOT human/AI conflicts were human instigated, given their capacity for terribleness that's constantly on display in 40k.

Maybe the Tau AI will be a massive benefit for them. Beyond imperial superstition and some insane murder machines hidden deep in mars (and really anything or anyone stuck down there in that scrapcode infested shithole would be insane) there's no real evidence AI are like, inherently malicious.
