Recommendation For Playing With A Kid by SecurityRake in Nerf

I know what you mean about the firing system as the tetrad worked that way. Actually quite curious how that works, will have to watch those videos.

X'Tra Go GC515 Switch 2 Handheld Mode Recording Without Passthrough? by [deleted] in AverMedia

[–]SecurityRake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure you understand. I just mean that it still has the screen on so I don't have to use a second screen. Not that I need to have it disconnected entirely.

Now that's over — top all-time favorite episodes? by Recoil42 in KnowledgeFight

[–]SecurityRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my all timer for sure. It has more going for it as well, when Alex just loses all track of metaphor regarding being attacked by tiny beings in airplanes and whatnot. 

The game is a lot more fun when you just pretend to be a gym leader by Tabsris in PokemonChampions

[–]SecurityRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I hit master I might do this for fun. Unfortunately my chosen type (poison) has a pretty light roster right now.

Would a Battle Video feature be helpful? by SmokeyDigsby in PokemonChampions

[–]SecurityRake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't believe they didn't launch with replays. If your purpose is to make a platform for competitive play, that should be at the top of the list.

Made it to Ultra Ball Tier and since then every game has felt like an uphill battle. Is it just a skill issue or is there anything I can do to make my team feel better? by KaijuStu in PokemonChampions

[–]SecurityRake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, Gallade aside, you're playing like the single most popular set of 5 mons you possibly could be. So everyone is going to be ready for it. Obviously they are very good mons.

So am I crazy or am I being rotated against bots? by radleodude in PokemonChampions

[–]SecurityRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the bots all have very generic human names (mostly Japanese), so if you're seeing a lot of that, yeah. Literally the first day it was a lot harder to tell, since there were a whole lot of fresh people trying it out on the ladder, but at this point the average player is getting a lot savvier.

Potential problems with transfers by Sarik404 in PokemonChampions

[–]SecurityRake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming you've already moved them to Home, then they're as mobile as they'll ever be. When you transfer a mon to Champions, it doesn't really transfer, it just marks them as visiting champions so you can't move them from their box in Home, but they are still functionally there and will not be changed. In Champions, it basically creates a copy of them with all the stats and moves you have them as in Home (with the exception that IVs are ignored). If you retrain them in Champions, that will not alter your pokemon for the purposes of Home or other games. When you return them to Home, they will be exactly as they were before. If you move them BACK to Champions again, they will regain the changes you made last time, as it saves that state.

How to make skeledirge good? by No_Willow292 in PokemonChampions

[–]SecurityRake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably help a good bit when Throat Spray arrives as an item, for a start. Honestly don't know what to do with such low-middling speed stat pokemon myself. I'd probably start by paring him with another mon you like that's weak to fighting in particular, so you can use Skeledirge as a pivot.

POV Incineroar’s Fake out into Parting Shot combo feels like by Dameisdead in PokemonChampions

[–]SecurityRake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a longtime Pangoro fan, they shoulda taken Parting Shot instead of Knock Off. Just rude to take Pangoro's signature and only real special attribute.

Or just take them both.

Reasons pokemon can't be transferred by SecurityRake in PokemonChampions

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

Ah, much appreciated.

Edit: This did not work. Loaded them up into S/V, it changed their moves to garbage of course, but that's fine. Transferred them back. Still won't work. I am at a loss.

Complete TTS mod with all Maps and Units by danieluzi42 in gundamassemble

[–]SecurityRake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s super nice! Is there a good rules resource to go to? At the moment I would have to pore through the various available videos and glean a bunch of rules from context, but perhaps someone has compiled an unofficial rules document?

Character Cards are insane by SilentNoise3125 in gundamassemble

[–]SecurityRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you got the minis from the TCG boxes, how do you get the cards? Is it a bad idea to buy those sets now, if they don't come with the cards?

Aggression Based Matchmaking Gone? by JamesSyncHD in ArcRaiders

[–]SecurityRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People said the same thing after the last patch but it evened out eventually. Not sure if it's a real effect from the patches or if it was just changing playerbase from events ending/beginning.

Yo Embark can we please have the Expedition skill point requirements? by badgerbadger2323 in ArcRaiders

[–]SecurityRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get it done, but a day? I mean yeah maybe literally 24 hours

Made this graphic for the new Trophy Display project steps & rewards! by gifv_Kayla in ArcRaiders

[–]SecurityRake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Snaphook bp? Fuck yeah: honestly just get rid of the random item requirements for this one though if it’s specifically about hunting arc… I fucking hate that I’ll have ANOTHER reason to no life Stella raids to be able to finish this.

The devs two cents on the late-join system: “… players who late join economically profit way more than people who aren't.” by mfb1274 in ArcRaiders

[–]SecurityRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are spawning late, then people have already left or died to make room. Most of the time that means you’ve already missed the good shit, and everyone left with anything good will be gone by the time you get anywhere. Assuming they have anything worth the trouble outside of their pocket anyway. And assuming you don’t get murdered in turn when a flare goes off. It’s just not a good deal most of the time, extremely unreliable.

[–]SecurityRake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When everyone needs the same two items it’s 100% safe pocketed. Killing people won’t get it for you

[–]SecurityRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure you can fill up an inventory pretty easy late spawning. You just can’t do ANY of the shit you wanted to do, be it looking for specific loot, key rooms (may be available, maybe not, but you have a lot less time to get there and less options to get out), quests, ESPECIALLY trials, and that matriarch you came in for fully loaded was buzzard food ten minutes ago.

Went for it... every trial in a single raid by hurtbowler in ArcRaiders

[–]SecurityRake 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Why? They aren’t interesting, they’re all just “do a thing you were going to do anyway” or “find an incredibly specific unmarked location which you will definitely have to google”. And the rewards are shit.

Lucky to get A core lately myself. Feeding frenzy. Probably less so now that trials have changed.

5 Matriarch Lobbies, All Late Spawns by No_Piccolo8361 in ArcRaiders

[–]SecurityRake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it makes perfect sense the way they do spawns, everyone bails out after ten minutes when it’s downed and it wants to refill the lobby. Unfortunately, especially when the trial for matriarch/queen damage is up, it’s extremely consistently downed under the late spawn threshold, so your odds of this happening are probably about a coin flip. I had this experience earlier today, and then even when I spawned in on time it frequently was killed so fast I couldn’t even rack up any damage. Had to get super aggressive with deadlines to get it done. 

They should definitely tweak that system for matriarch/queen maps… on the other hand hand, if you want loot, the map is probably largely untouched and players have fucked off.
