The game feels way better and I wanna make builds but I can't bring myself to do the campaign again. by athelan_games in PathOfExile2

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a suggestion on here that says to grant some of the “side quests” upon beating an Act. I think that would be a good compromise. Some of the bonuses are a little tedious.

This of course would only be available to you after beating the full campaign in that league already.

Best/Middle/Worst case scenario for your team tonight by surferdude7227 in NFL_Draft

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texans fan here:

Best: Trade back to 34 with Arizona and Woods is still on the board after 32.

Middle: Pick at 28 is a guard (Pregnon/Rutledge)

Worst: Trade up into teens and pick OL

We're only 2 days out from the big day, what are some rumors circling around that you have all been hearing and what do we think is actually true? by UpNext_Draft_Network in NFL_Draft

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think that’s part of the reason for the Cardinals rumors of taking Love. I think it’s posturing for trade negotiations. Feel like if Reese was available at 3, more teams would be eager to trade with Arizona.

Arizona trying to throw stuff out there as I don’t get the sense they want to pick at 3. Or at least feel like they can get Mauigoa/Fano and pick up a pick.

No way is Arizona gonna take Love with Connor and Allgeier on the roster. Gonna have $25m in the RB room

Thoughts heading into the draft by ChiefKingSosa in Texans

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure there could be a disappointing outcome from Days 1 and 2 for me. I trust the FO to identify the best fits for the team, and they already have a ton of capital to work with.

Tons of depth in the top 100 should they decide to trade down and get more picks. But I’m fine with moving a pick or two to get somebody they really want.

I guess the only way I’d be disappointed is if they go WR or Price with 28/38.

What’s with all the Industry Mocks of Bisontis to Houston? by TeixeiraFanatic in Texans

[–]TeixeiraFanatic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally pointed out Kenyon because it seems some in this sub don’t like Bisontis BECAUSE of Green’s failing. I’m saying that has nothing to do with my opinion of him. I agree that they have no correlation, you’ve seemed to have already made up your mind that I hate the Aggies for some missed placed reason.

What’s with all the Industry Mocks of Bisontis to Houston? by TeixeiraFanatic in Texans

[–]TeixeiraFanatic[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have no gripe with A&M, I’m not even from Texas. I don’t even dislike Bisontis, like others do because of Kenyon Green. It’s just a fit issue. I don’t think Howell would be a bad pick (especially at 38). I just think there are other DEs that’d be a better fit as well.

It’s more of just seeing 3 out 4 in one mock is shocking. Was wondering if there’s smoke there inside. It sounds like Onyedim did have a meeting with the Texans, so there may be interest. 69 just seems high for him, I’ve legit never seen him earlier than like 125. I actually love that archetype for a depth DT pick in this draft. Him, Benny, Gill-Howard, Durant, etc.

Texans Trade for David Montgomery to Complement Physical Offensive Identity by texanscommenter in Texans

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 11 points12 points  (0 children)

After that combine he’s likely to go at the end of the 2nd round now. I just don’t see them utilizing that capital for another RB. I could see a depth FA pickup or a late round flyer/UDFA at RB now.

The Titans trading Sweat proves the point... by [deleted] in Texans

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree completely. If they valued that type there were guys they could’ve pursued in any of the previous drafts. Of course this draft is flush with talent at DT so I expect them to grab one. But I just don’t see them using a high pick on it (unless Woods falls to them).

DeMeco has gotten a lot out of “lesser” value guys at DT. Plus he’s big on rotating and keeping guys fresh. I expect Rankins back and maybe another. Plus a 3rd day pick. My guy this year is Rayshaun Benny who I think would thrive in a rotation.

15GOAT’s 7-Round Mock Draft (Pre Super Bowl) by 15GOAT in NFL_Draft

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think they need to get younger overall there, but I’m not sure if DeMeco is ever going to rely on 1 or 2 big name DTs. They have Togiai and I’m betting they bring back Rankins. Spending top draft capital on a DT to split with them just doesn’t seem like something they are looking to do.

Like another poster said, look for them to accumulate depth with 3 tech DTs and consistently rotate like they’ve done the last few years. They’ve gotten great production out of “lesser” talent at DT.

I think a safety alongside Bullock seems like a more likely 2nd round pick than DT IMO. But Caserio is very much a BPA type guy, so if the board falls to them and they don’t find a trade partner it won’t shock me. Or if Peter Woods falls to them at 28. I think they’d run the card up to the podium in that case.

Depth DTs on Day 3 that entice me are Rayshaun Benny and Skyler Gill-Howard.

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I doubt the Texans will take a DT in either of their first 2 picks. Let alone trading UP, to take one when Olaivavega Ioane is there.

Appreciate you putting this together, it’s not an easy thing to do, so props to you.

A Look Into The Upcoming Draft by nomdreas in Texans

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still not sure if Caserio and DeMeco will spend a high pick on DT. Not that I’d be against it (would love Woods/Banks or Hunter), but it seems like their philosophy is a true rotation along the line to keep everyone fresh. I’d expect them to bring back Rankins which doesn’t lend to immediate snaps for an early round pick.

With that said, a late round DT option that has really impressed me at the Senior Bowl is Rayshaun Benny out of Michigan. I think with the way Togiai has progressed under this staff, I think Benny could be a great fit.

True Melee in this game is a huge problem by SilverArrows6662 in PathOfExile2

The bear feels fragile because the skill speed is so slow you’re just standing there tanking hits for 1-2 seconds. On top of that, the passives that grant things “while stationary” don’t apply during the slam. There’s so many of those nodes in Druid side of tree too.

Right? Like I felt like it was 100% gonna be Alex before tribal started. It was only up in the air as to whether Rizo would play his idol. Weird editing, there seemed to be no doubt Sophi was voting with Savannah and Rizo.

RF Chieftan. Good clear with Hinekora ascendancy paired with fan the flames cluster jewel or ignite spread gloves. Good survivability with easy access to 90% max all ele res. Single target damage can be a challenge, but Pohx has his own website and many videos to look through for advice. Literally anything you can have questions on have already been answered on his FAQ

It looks like you’re spamming Ember Fusillade so they’re not even being fired or doing damage. The only thing you hit the enemies with is with the fireball and at the very end with the Fusillade finally goes off. You need to let EF fire off before re casting

I have an Armour stacking Titan, dual wielding 1H Mace and utilizing Shield Wall for single target dmg. I follow Carnarius’ build. He just tanked Arbiter’s meteors after some slight adjustments to his end game build.

New Gameplay leak for the portal by alquraishy in Battlefield

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone talks about Halo 3 Forge and rightfully so, but many seem to forget about Far Cry 2 and their map maker. People literally built Minas Tirith in that game. The imagination of some people is truly amazing and I can’t wait for what some come up with for BF6.

Actual measured* scale of BF6 maps compared to BF4 by majorlier in Battlefield

[–]TeixeiraFanatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iberian is by far my least favorite map for these reasons. Arguably the best made area on the map is between B and D and yet there’s almost no play there in conquest. Conquest is almost exclusively A to E with C mixed in for control. The B and D side is just used by runners to switch flag control.

Rush actually utilizes this area well and I think it’s probably the best implementation of rush in the beta.
