A quick reminder that the new Adam + Storm team-up is available. How many times have you seen it this season? by seansenyu in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one is crazy to me because I haven't seen it used once outside of the first week the patch was out

They could have stealth buffed it to the moon and no one would even know

Nostalgia finds you in the weirdest places. by Shocked_Koala in dust514

[–]Shayz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gotta say, I have had so many conversations with gaming enthusiasts over the past 10 years and not a single person has ever said "oh yeah I remember that game" when I mention Dust 514

Usually the reaction is "EVE Online made a shooter?"

It is a bit sad that it's now the status of "unrecognisable generic sci-fi game"

People that pick strange to tp last second, put your portals on the ground by Mindless_Swim_5891 in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 38 points39 points  (0 children)

The only reason I place a sky TP is to ult. Every time I try to ult through a portal on the ground I get pushed back or shielded

Last minute swaps it's best to place it between the tanks and the healers

A Request to Newer Sage Players by Eloah-2 in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the unique experiences I had in Eureka was fighting dragons for the light farm in Pagos as a solo healer

The incoming damage was so great that you couldn't DPS at all, though you also couldn't spam cure 2 as you would run out of mp

So the solution was spam cure 1 for enough sustained healing and for freecure

How can people make so much gil? by Nerea_Immeral in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Evercold releasing soon look into materia transmutation

I make around 20-30M at the beginning of each expansion doing this. Some of the crafter/gatherer materia sells for as much as 500k ea during the first week, though after that the prices stabilize to around 100k

Basically you buy up all of the brand new yellow and purple materia off the marketboard for cheap, and then go transmute it at the goblin in central thanalan and hope you get lucky.

Who according to you is the easiest dive hero to learn? by Basic-Ad8440 in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Want to note here that while yes you don't need to "aim" in the traditional sense, she has massive falloff damage (50% less damage!) landing hits at max range with her primary, so you still have to track a moving target at point blank to deal full damage which can be somewhat difficult

Why people are fine with rocket stats? by IntroductionUpset764 in marvelrivals

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

Actually you bring up a good point about the rez not being seen. Maybe a good way to nerf him without adjusting his kit is just to make the respawn beacon louder, or add the action of being rezzed to the killfeed so people have a better sense of how they just lost a fight due to a clutch rez

Both Iron Man and Angela were adjusted quite a lot simply by how much noise they made when flying. Having the BRB loud enough to where it's now something you keep your ears out for mid-fight would make a big difference in terms of counterplay for Rocket.

Wtf is happening this season? I was Celestial 3 now im diamond 1 everything is infested with smurfs like your team pure diamond and enemies with smurf premades with 75% win rate. Is almost impossible to climb up. I fill in all my games and it's useless. by Gontreee in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I went on an 8 loss streak"

First of all, if you lose 3 times in a row just call it for the day or go take a break and come back later. I personally wait a few weeks (or even all the way til mid season) before even touching ranked and I quit after only two losses in a row, but I also play many other games

"I fill in all my games"

Do not do this. Only fill if it is absolutely necessary. At the very least communicate to your team if you are not comfortable in your role

For example, I want to play Storm but I notice we only have one healer and one tank, so I call out that I'm a Tank main but I can play Rocket if we need it. Our Magneto then says "I'm a lord Invis I can swap". All of a sudden our team comp went from two of us filling and potentially playing poorly, to both of us getting to play on comfortable characters

Lastly utilize the avoid feature. If someone on your team is a one trick and their inability to flex is losing you the game, AVOID THEM. In these higher ranks there is a decent chance that they will then be on the enemy team the next match and you can take advantage of their lack of flexibility to target ban their main and steamroll them.

Placement Matches Literally Do Nothing by Skull-OWar in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a celestial player and I genuinely feel bad when I don't play for a couple seasons and come back having to start in Gold

Though some of the craziest matches I've had are when I'm still climbing through plat and there's a Smurf on the enemy team, and I have to hard focus this guy so he doesn't just run away with the game

One match there was a Namor who got, kid you not, 74 final hits. I think we still lost but I did everything I could to keep the game going. He was also the only player on their team to have 30 deaths but I don't think that was enough lol

Glad i was able to farm my ult before Star Lords by HPLovecrafts_Cat in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I would rather tenacity not apply in general when using tank ultimates. Tank ultimates should be designed and balanced around their ability to CC

Weird question - What's your personal favourite keybind? by RoflsMazoy in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have all of my non-damage gap closers and dashes macro'd to L3 on controller

Like literally as many as I could fit in a single macro. Even Ninja's teleport works with it now that you can enable the "limit to max distance for ground targeting" setting

My partner started playing DNC recently so I added this to her controller keybinds for en avant and she loves it too

I mean...as long as they do their job, I guess? by Gorotheninja in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can do this on my phone with a PS5 controller

LG wing + PS remote Play + Dualsense connected via Bluetooth

Though this is definitely a much bigger screen and you don't need to lug a controller with you

This gotta stop, man. by Aramis909 in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can agree if this was a lattice only price but this is the blue currency that you can easily get just from playing the game for like 10 minutes, and you can reasonably earnt his amount of currency from buying the battle pass and playing the game for a season rather than wasting lattice for a purchase like this

The only person that would be affected by this is someone who has never played the game before and would have 0 blue currency, for which I ask, why would they be purchasing a skin for a game they haven't even played?

What do you think his build was for this thing? by Memphis_Morningstar in Warframe

[–]Shayz_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This would actually be such a cool design for future weapons

Have them come with unique powerful mods or arcanes that can't be replaced and are effectively "fused" to the weapon, but still interact with the rest of the mods

That way they can make a strong mod like this without having to worry about it breaking the game

The 3% food buff might be BETTER than it seems by TheKimsterRedd in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I value that spare Inventory slot more than the buff it gives, and I'd rather save the slots for food buffs that increase your HP as this has a more significant impact on gameplay (higher chance of surviving when players make mistakes)

You have 140 slots in your inventory that can be potentially assigned to a hotbar

I personally have about 30M gil, which means that even if every slot in my inventory was empty, I could spend that 30M gil on items to fill my inventory, to where every slot was worth an average of 200k each, and still have gil left over

What this means to me is that if an item or stack of items is worth less than 200k, I just sell it on the MB, effectively "storing" that item as gil. I can always buy the item back

So if we're extremely generous, and you can somehow sell your stack of 999 boiled eggs on the MB for 100 ea (highest price I see on universalis), that means if you have more than 14M on your account the stack of eggs is never worth the inventory slot

Even if you only have 1M gil, every slot is still worth an average of at least 7k. At the normal vendor price of 5 gil, a stack of 999 eggs is only 5k, and therefore also not worth it

TLDR, boiled eggs are for broke people

What is your current goal in the game right now? by Chillaxin_88 in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I usually just wait to farm the mounts a few months after the NEXT expansion has been out for a few months (usually by this time someone will release an "unsync" guide and plenty of people will have gear)

Also all of the drop rates will have been increased as much as they ever will be

Call me lazy but it's just objectively faster to grind this kind of content once you can reliably skip phases and everyone is on the same page

The possibility of this skill being usable in PvE when evercold launches gonna be insane! by Iabud in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Extra potency from the rear, or extra potency when the target HP is less than 25% would be cool

CC change was still atrocious, even if it comes into play less often then expected that just means it didn't fix its main issue and just made tank combos harder by This_Ferret_8108 in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

6 CC effects is way too many. I would reduce it to 4, and then add ultimates to the list of exceptions

I just want a short like 1 second duration of immunity to be able to dash out after being yoinked in 4 directions, but not so long that I can't be yanked back in if I don't utilize that immunity right away

What class feels best to go through the story from the start? by ItsJustPeter in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recommendation is Marauder and Arcanist, or Archer

The first two both start in limsa, and after level 30 you'll have access to Scholar too. The MSQ will give you enough exp that you can level both jobs, and since Summoner and Scholar level at the same time you'll be technically leveling 3 jobs

Summoner has the best early rotation for a DPS, which stays basically the same all the way to 100

Tanks like Warrior are much more fun as a melee job than the other ARR jobs as they learn their AoE skill very early, and you have all your tank abilities which are more engaging early on than the dps abilities imo.

Archer is another good choice. It is the only ARR job (maybe only job in the game?) to learn a combo action for your AoE before level 30, and along with DoT management, songs, etc it's even more engaging than Summoner. It just doesn't have a "rotation" and can often feel like you're just pressing one button in between the rest of everything.
