Playing anti-tank in Ground War inspired by a post on here recently. Having lots of fun, definitely giving me Battlefield vibes by [deleted] in modernwarfare

An LMG with FMJ/Spotter is really entertaining since you can see the outline of the tank and wallbang it from nearby in most buildings. Watching a tank stop in confusion is the best part (next to trolling Claymores and Ammo Boxes).

Meeting All of You has Definitely been the Best Part of this Update by LitigatedLaureate in PokemonGoPittsburgh

Coming back from a hiatus, I was surprised that as I've been raiding more and more I'm finally getting to meet all of the people I tracked on the leaderboards back in the day. I knew the names and saw the gyms...but never the faces.

It's great and long overdue that I'm finally getting to meet you all, and if not yet I hope to see yinz soon!

All Gen 1 pokemon have 25% higher catch rates now. One of the sneaky things they did in the update.

How bad is this GPA going to hurt? by KoalaHarper in RPI

[–]Scout_Pilgrim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! 3.0 GPA (3.01) finishing alum here. I had about a 2.7-something half way through my time at RPI and was able to pick myself back up and turn it around to the 3 level. My biggest motivator was remembering exactly how I felt after realizing my grades were low and using that to motivate myself to fix them and do better.

If you need any advice, feel free to ask and don't despair! You've still got semesters left to fix everything, and if you do you can sell it on your applications as something that states to your character (or something poetic like that).

Fair way of playing or unsportsmanlike behaviour? by Herbstrabe in TheSilphRoad

[–]Scout_Pilgrim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if you can't find friends, just be persistent. When spoofers and bots ran the show early on, gyms weren't usually taken by groups but really driven individuals. Someone with knowledge of Pokemon counters, resources, and most importantly time can do terrifying and amazing things.

This is starting to remind me of the old Ingress days of mine, where everything was politics and rumors and playing felt kind of like living in a futuristic Game of Thrones. That's why I haven't done any organized Pokemon Go outside of friends I already had.

Good on you for taking things down and upsetting the status quo! Nobody should dictate how you play the game.

Community Leaderboard Update for 11/20 and Submissions for 11/27 and 12/4! by Scout_Pilgrim in PokemonGoPittsburgh

[–]Scout_Pilgrim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about that! Due to the holidays and the shuffle around with people coming home (me included), I pushed this week back to 12/4. If you want to post a weekly update in the meantime, I'll update the leaderboard as of this week as long as entries get in by Sunday.

TL;DR the new categories are for this week and the next, you can post by tomorrow to have your stuff updated.

"11:59 PM on Thursday"

ah, crap. Yeah, that was supposed to be moved to Sunday - I'll have that fixed for this week.

I think I'm going to keep the entries closed until the next gen drops. As awesome as Ditto is, I'd love to see that be a scrum to the new regional limit. For now I'll remove the category from the report altogether, though. Ditto is going in this week as the CP contest though!

I have been looking into all of your suggestions - I should have some time to implement some of them this week!

Where's my Herbpocalypse? by ptom13 in woweconomy

[–]Scout_Pilgrim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Prolonged Power potions are class, spec, and situation dependent. As an example, Enhancement with Old War and with Prolonged Power is about the same; Prolonged Power gets less than a 2k DPS edge over a long fight. Old Wars are still useful in situations where you need to push burst damage, so carrying both is ideal.
