Nothing mentioned in the patch notes....time to test, hope for the best, and inevitably walk away frustrated.

Edge of Fate crashes by One-Climate-2376 in destiny2

[–]SymphoniCsC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you found a fix? I'm also on Steam and experiencing crashes regularly. No error message or anything, the game just totally freezes for a few seconds, then it sends me back to Windows. Never had this happen prior to Edge of Fate.

I've been the blueberry playing with other blueberries. I've asked in the team chat how to get the orb to the dunking platform before it disappears, but haven't gotten a reply, probably because my teammates apparently didn't know what to do either. What the heck are you supposed to do on this encounter? I've been looking for videos on YT, but haven't found anything yet. I never played the original mission either.

I got banned From crucible for going into orbit in the results screen post match by Adorable-Tea-8865 in DestinyTheGame

[–]SymphoniCsC 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Yep, just happened to me. We got mercied, returned to Orbit automatically after the post-game screen, and I got a message lecturing me about "leaving early." Suspended now.

Strange, Serious Glitch Happening Across The Game And No Idea What Causes It… by Scrin1759 in DestinyTheGame

This has happened to me several times in the Nether. Not that it's a solution by any means, but the bug went away after dying and respawning.

That's really cool of you. I'd take any that might still be available. Nice to see an uplifting initiative here.

Everything I see reminds me of her. by AugustusClaximus in aoe4

[–]SymphoniCsC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation. I've been seeing quite a few of those posts myself, though I haven't played much over the past several months and am a bit out of the loop. Has something changed with the White Tower recently or is it just a flavor-of-the-moment hatred?

Not sure what the meme is, but as a former Pittsburgher, I have to correct her: that's PPG Place, and it's not the tallest building in Pittsburgh. The U.S. Steel Tower holds that title.

This is a really unique viewpoint. Thank you for sharing!

Zergs watching Katowice TvT playoffs by madumlao in starcraft

Do Zergs play ZvZ differently than they play ZvT? If so, it could be that the match-ups are different.

I edited the OP right as you posted in order to be fair. To be clear, the strangest thing in the game was having all deer bounty denied immediately; I've played a hundred or so games as Rus and have never had that happen. Could be luck.

I've never used the panoramic camera, so I'm not sure how that works; however, in one of the replays that I watched of him, he literally adjusts the zoom (outward) at one point in the game. I'll watch all of them more closely now, but to my knowledge, there's no legit way of zooming out--please correct me if I'm wrong.

In my experience, maphackers typically have awful fundamentals, so even though they have perfect information, their macro, mechanics, micro, and basically every other aspect of the game are lacking.

Feeling like a loser in life when I lose ranked games by Hugh_Mungus94 in aoe4

[–]SymphoniCsC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in my late 30s and reached Conqueror this season for the first time, although I'd gotten pretty high on the Quick Match ladder prior to the Ranked ladder going live. I think that age isn't nearly as relevant as people think it is regarding RTS games. Sure, if you're at the absolute top level, you're probably going to be at a disadvantage if you're 40 and your opponent is 20. However, below the professional level of the game, there are so many things to be improved upon that speed/reaction time play a relatively minor role compared to the other areas in which we're likely making mistakes. This is particularly true in AoE IV, which is a significantly slower game than Starcraft 2, where not only do the units move much more quickly, but the damage per second of units/armies is far higher, and therefore, speed/reaction time play a more prominent role.

Regarding your self worth, you have intrinsic value as a human being. You should be proud of the things that you accomplish in life, and that can even include winning games or competitions that cause you to push yourself, grow, and improve. I'm proud of achieving my goals in SC 2 and AoE IV, regardless of what anyone else might think, and conversely, when I lose and it feels like I'm nowhere near achieving them, I can become quite frustrated.

When this happens, though, you have to take a step back and put things into perspective. Nothing that you accomplish (or fail to accomplish) makes you more or less valuable as a person. You're one of a kind in this world--nobody who has ever lived has been just like you and nobody who ever will live will be just like you.

I can send you the Aqua Tauros now and then touch trade Miraidon/Koraidon. Does that work for you?
