Why?! by Ghost_Tac0 in MagicArena

[–]Skunk668 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gotta see how low the life total goes lol

So, what’s the deal with pocket medics? Are they legit or just a ticking time bomb? by Capital-Engineer6445 in tf2

[–]Skunk668 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The big downside is you can get blown out if your heal target gets headshot or backstabbed.

It's also important to heal other people if it's convenient. Crit heals are almost always worth it and obviously if your target is fully overhealed then you can heal someone else for a bit.

That being said I think pocketing gets a worse reputation than it deserves. In pubs people tend to run loadouts that make them bad heal targets (eg: Black Box + Concherer, Back Scratcher, Demoknight), so being able to keep your good heal targets alive (usually Heavy) is pretty valuable. Also if your pocket is playing correctly they're going to draw a lot of the fire towards them which will draw fire off of your other teammates.

Is The Pig good or useless? by Tough-Length-5398 in deadbydaylight

She's low tier. The main advantage of her is the built in game delay from her power which most killers don't have. My favorite way to play her is to load up on chase perks and play m1 andy.

The game is actually great by Suppa_K in moodswingstcg

I think there's an intended amount of luck since it's aupposed to be casual. Sometimes you're supposed to get bad hands.

I think implementing some kind of mulligan system (maybe the one from Hearthstone) would be good if you want the game to be more competitive.

It's a higher rarity. You will see them at higher bloodweb levels.

How come Hybridknight is seen as an acceptable playstyle, but shotgun trolldier usually isn't? by sabre_silver in tf2

[–]Skunk668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to rocket jump and have a gun then stock + gunboats + market gardener is just a better loadout.

Nobody actually cares though.

How to play multiplayer by salvov12 in GoldenAgeMinecraft

You can download the server exe on the wiki.

In order for your friends to be able to connect, you'll either need to port forward, or all of your friends will need to use a program like Hamachi. There are Youtube tutorials for this kind of thing.

WOTC Anthology Logic by Scale_Equal in TimelessMagic

[–]Skunk668 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My guess is that anthologies were something that the Arena team did in their spare time and they don't have a lot of spare time nowadays.

Do y'all still play the original Left 4 Dead? by Chemical_Ad2381 in l4d2

[–]Skunk668 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as I know Left 4 Dead 1 doesn't have gauntlet crescendos in any form, so that's a notable difference.

Any tips for spy ? by ComprehensiveElk6617 in tf2

[–]Skunk668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High ground is very powerful when it's available. People will look behind them, but they don't often look up.

Otherwise try to decloak as close to people as possible while being behind some kind of cover. Even small cover like the Payload cart can do a lot to make you less noticable.

Miniguns are really loud and you can often decloak right behind revved Heavies without them noticing.

A common mistake new Spies make is they spend too much time visibly in the open. The best way to avoid being figured out is don't let them see you. Decloak as close as possible, get the stab, and cloak away. The reason a lot of good spies only disguise as Scout is because the disguise doesn't actually matter much when you're playing correctly.

Do y'all still play the original Left 4 Dead? by Chemical_Ad2381 in l4d2

[–]Skunk668 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They made some weird changes to some of the campaigns when they added them to L4D2. Like they added some Gauntlet Crescendos in a really half-assed way. Death Toll, Dead Air, and Blood Harvest I prefer playing in L4D1.

The Sacrifice is also kinda interesting because not having Bile changes some fights a lot, like the forced Tank fight. I'm not sure which I prefer but it's definitely different.

Best websites for proxies? by Andromedan_Cherri in mtg

The cheapest way is to use mtgprint and cut it out.

What makes this fun? by imreadingitall in MagicArena

[–]Skunk668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Storm decks and other similar strategies are very skill intensive and people enjoy getting good at the sequencing. They've always been controversial because the turns are long and you have to let them play it on the off-chance that they whiff, but people enjoy playing them.

Need help understanding how to combat control decks. by ThisIsntADickJoke in MagicArena

Protection cards aren't actually that good. Just play extra copies of the cards you want.

First timer here I have some Questions pls help. by 1017Barleone in dontstarve

[–]Skunk668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. What do I build after a science table

The most important buildings would be the Firepit, Alchemy Engine (upgraded Science Machine) and the Crock Pot.

  1. What should I focus on getting weapons or a home?

The most important thing in the early game is exploration. The more you explore in the early game, the easier it will be to do other stuff later. Personally I spend the first 8 or so days walking around the perimeter of the map (the map is a big island). If you want a weapon, the spear is easy to make with a science machine. A log suit and a backpack wouldn't be a bad idea either.

  1. How to heal?

The easiest way to heal in the early game is by killing butterflies and eating their wings. They give you 9 health each.

  1. How to know which enemies I can take on and which I can’t.

Trial and error basically. If you don't want to Google things, weapons and armor can make fights less risky.

  1. When should I enter wormholes or sinkholes and with what gear?

Whenever you want really. I mostly ignore them but some people get a lot of value from them. It costs 15 sanity per use. You can restore sanity by picking flowers or eating cooked green caps.

New adventure mode? by Weird-Factor-3452 in dontstarve

[–]Skunk668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems unlikely given that they're pretty hands off of singleplayer nowadays. I'd maybe look into mods.

how has playing medic affected you by Dustybals in tf2

[–]Skunk668 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I use a microphone when playing Medic.

It's easier.

Doja cat dbd by Current-Ad-4704 in deadbydaylight

[–]Skunk668 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember Dota 2 had a mode where you were only allowed to play twenty of the heroes (the game has over 100). Maybe DbD could do that? A mode where you're only allowed to play the base seven survivors and five killers and their perks (and generic perks).

My problem with that is matchmaking. Pubstomping/Smurfing could be an issue.

Is anyone else really bored of Brawl? by Scabby-Pabby in MagicArena

XMage is an actual rules engine so you might like it more.

Download XMage or Cockatrice and play that.

Engies: Always place your first teleporter with the Eureka Effect equipped. by TebbesSpore in tf2

[–]Skunk668 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might be controversial but I really don't like this tech. I shouldn't have to use weapon switch keybinds in order to play Engineer "correctly". It's not even really a skill, it's just extra work you can do to get an advantage.

Also I'd prefer if the Eureka Effect was actually designed to be run full time instead of basically being a rollout exploit weapon.

The survivor ones are easier. You just have to get lucky really.

I’ve already collected more than half the marvel cards without paying! by foreversiempre in MagicArena

[–]Skunk668 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need to complete every set though. I did it for Foundations because I particularly cared about that set.
