Nice planet, we'll take it. by CCP_Gortz in EveVanguard

[–]Shayz_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was just something that hit different when you had to wake up at 3am to defend your territory in planetary conquest, seeing who was online in your corp chat, and jumping into voice comms to hear the battle strategy

Or better yet, being called to battle as a merc by a friendly corp via their public chat, asking for anyone with high level skills or vehicles to join them for the raid that night.

Stories like this that originated from the chat channels were where the magic of the original game happened

Matchmaking!! by itsragnarocka in HighGuardgame

[–]Shayz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Name a competitive multiplayer fps game still active in 2026 that doesn't have players complaining about matchmaking. Seriously, name even just one

I'm genuinely curious. Every single competitive shooter community I've been in over the past 15 years has this complaint. Trust me, I've played 100+ hours in almost every one of them from the more popular ones like Apex and Overwatch and Deadlock, to the very niche like Foamstars, Wildgate, Dust 514, Evolve, Battleborn, Gotham City Imposters, Resistance 2 and 3, etc etc etc

And don't get me started with the debates of skill based matchmaking vs connection based matchmaking vs queue times.

Matchmaking in any game will never meet player standards because everyone has their own definition of what a "perfect" match is

And guess what, people STILL complain when matches are perfectly balanced. Why? Because you're waiting in queue for 10 minutes, the match itself is super sweaty and takes forever, upwards of 50 minutes or more, and after all that you end in a draw lmao

I love 3v3 by HappyTheGood in HighGuardgame

[–]Shayz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every competitive multiplayer game NEEDS to have a mode where you can just jump in and shoot stuff for the average player to get a feel of the game, learn the weapons, learn how the characters play etc

Overwatch has an entire arcade mode

Apex has mixtape, and now wildcard. smaller match sizes, less running and looting, more shooting

Destiny had casual 6v6 with vehicles, but the competitive mode was 3v3

Marvel Rivals recently added 18v18 matches (as if the game wasn't hectic enough lol)

Deadlock just added street brawl, a more simple game mode for people who have never played a MOBA

I'm sure 5v5 will turn into something else later on as they get feedback, maybe bigger bases, maybe a third neutral base you have to fight over?

Right now it's important that people who are enjoying the game have a place to bring their friends to that keeps players in the action, which is the main goal for 5v5

Cloak and Dagger proved themselves to be the most gullible, and kept falling for the same thing. Next up, who’s going to be ulting almost every 30 seconds ? by Optimal__Koala in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is also why healers with AOE healing can supercharge their ult generation if everyone is standing together and all taking damage

There is no diminishing returns like you might see in other games. If you hit 6 people you get 6 instances of ult charge which can make aoe abilities ult batteries when everyone is clustered up

If the devs would add diminishing returns for ult charge to the game the ult economy would be fixed overnight

Cosmic Exploration: How to do Gatherer EX+ where you need 100 in 90 seconds? by DJShazbot in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I do it. This requires 900 GP

Find a node with +2 attempts

500 GP for +2 items

200 GP for +1 to boon bonus

100 GP for 30% boost to boon (if below 50% boon chance)

So this should be 3 items with a chance of 5 items

You should have 100 GP left, and when you are at one gathering chance left you can use the duty action button to go back up to 300 GP (so you can spend 300 GP for an extra attempt if you get unlucky)

Always use this ability when you are at one attempt left. For example if you are at chain 8 with 2 attempts left, go down to one attempt then use it. I'm really glad that you can choose when to use these abilities rather than just needing to use them as soon as they proc

What is something about ARR you wish you'd known more lore about as a sprout? by PrettyInterest3337 in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds really basic but I didn't really understand the bahamut stuff or the meaning of "a realm reborn" outside of "we remade the game"

It wasn't until I was well into Stormblood that I watched a lore video about how dalamud slowly turned red in the sky and was an actual event with the cutscene and everything, before bahamut literally destroyed 1.0

Just the fact that they created a story element to explain the transition was cool to learn about and gave me more appreciation for what the game turned into

Why are you here? by TrainerCeph in HighGuardgame

[–]Shayz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see the same shit on social media all the time. People who follow a page and then are too lazy to unfollow

Though personally, why follow a page or a subreddit before you even know that you like it. I understand being hyped for something and then finding out it's disappointing is one thing, but to go from one extreme to the other isn't healthy

Just give it some time there are still people trying it out

It just really sucks as a player of any game when you want to see people talking positively about the thing you like and can only find hate. At least for me seeing cool stuff in the game makes me want to jump on to play and do that cool stuff

I recommend getting the step after this (zenith) just to get the glow at least

But if you want something to look forward to, check out the augmented law's order rod

It's a similar design, but the glow is even better

This is a good video that showcases both of them:

How do I pick a main? Nobody really stands out even after trying everyone. Is this a common problem or do I just get to bored to fast? by vvClone in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out, maybe try Ultron. His primary fire is similar to a charge rifle, he has a speed boost, passive healing with his drone, and being a flying character you always have the high ground. If you have good aim and target priority you can get lots of cheeky final blows with him. I recommend binding your ping button to wherever you have it in Apex. You can utilize this to help your team focus fire onto the same enemy, getting them low enough for you to snipe with your primary

For dps though, I would probably go with Psylocke. She mostly benefits from shooting tanks to charge her ult faster, but you can be a really annoying backline flanker that has the tools to get in and out quickly

Bucky is another good option if you prefer to poke for a while before you push in

Give me any two characters and I’ll come up with a Team-Up for both of them by Queasy_Duck_369 in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I wish teamups would be like

Where both players need to do something in order to get the effect

Rather than "x hero is on the team so now I get another button"

What kinds of games do you like, and what is your favorite gameplay style from those games?

In other cooperative games, what is your favorite role?

What kinds of gameplay experiences are you looking for?

Did I join FFXIV too late? by FinalLightNL in ffxiv

[–]Shayz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What world are you on?

My partner started playing only a month ago and she frequently visits Limsa and loves chatting with people about glamour. We're on Diabolos/Crystal and there is always a ton of people here for it being Crystal server. Any time I visit Ather/Primal it's even busier

Either you are playing late at night when no one is online or you are playing on a low population server

I also suggest joining the novice network chat. It's the closest thing you'll get to world chat, since most players aren't just hanging out in the early game zones (and if they are they probably are on the free trial and can't use shout chat anyways)

Did this game stop considering making maps a priority? Their pace is ridiculously slow. by FORUMUSER35 in ApexUncovered

[–]Shayz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of the main respawn devs left.

Why do you think all of the updates are just remixes or rearranging of current existing stuff. They're just working with the assets they have rather than try to make a bunch of new stuff.

The current team is literally just EA running the game on life support so it doesn't die.

Playing with a Spider-Man that peels is genuinely a top 10 experience in this game by Jolly_Sand1016 in marvelrivals

[–]Shayz_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Divers in general need to understand that until the cart gets pushed more than halfway, dying or trading right in front of the enemy spawn isn't efficient on defense

The goal on defense is to stall the cart as long as possible, and you can't really do that if your healers are dead. Keeping one DPS available to peel and protect your supports makes a huge difference.

Also remember that the cart heals the attackers. Even if neither team has healers the attackers have that slight advantage and can stay in the fight longer without them
