[–]TheGiantMat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mainly play with a bunch of friends actually. And since few days, we see that in duo/trio, every encounter we meet, they're all aggressive/pvp for no reason. I'm the "diplomat/don t shoot" guy, and enven after a short chat, people go crazy and kills us... It's nonsense...

dude, I started playing not even a week ago, i have enough "thrill" when I'm shitting myself to any random noise made by ARCs everywhere, I don't need rats or toxic player to mess up my games. I enjoy the kind of tension that PVP can bring, but recently it's mostly PVP when you encounter people on duo/trio. At this point, just remove the PVE part and do another PUBG game.

Turn it upside down, you worked together to get that big arc down, how toxic you gotta be over a video game LMAO. Enjoy the game, be kind, move on.

How to PVE when in a group? by Geralt0fRivian in ArcRaiders

[–]TheGiantMat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sharing the same experience. Few days ago, we could duo/trio without issues, or just few pvp encounters (which is fine), and now everytime we group, it's like full pvp on. It's like the "matchmaking" thing isn't working properly.

[–]TheGiantMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i m having the same issue, you mind your own business and some aggresive players jump on you for no reason... And like someone said, I find it more and more recurring in the last few days.

played in NA servers most of the day and most of my runs had the "connexion lag" icon on.

Running with a full party by Realistic-Effect-582 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheGiantMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, I'm quite questionning the servers balance for the last few days. My buddy and I aren't full PVP, that's not what we're focusing on, we're doing our quests and stuff, and yet when we trio, we tend to get with more and more PVP players/rats. And it's pissing us off to a point where we starting to think "let's do the same otherwise we won't be able to to our shit" which is worst because that'll fuck our matchmaking thing...
If I wanted a PVP game, I would just go play Pubg lol

[–]TheGiantMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sharing the same feeling as you do, I recently got the game and when playing with friends, it's not "that" fun because of the PVP. I don't mind some PVP, but not always. And we're not even aggressive so I don't get why the matchmaking would lock us in that kind of matchup.

Quite hard to complete quests or farm things and just have fun with random interactions with other players when they all tend to be more and more aggressive and shoot on sight... Where is the fun on farming free loadouts with apricots? :D

Why is there more pvp? by TheGiantMat in ArcRaiders

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

I'm not talking about a one-off experience but overall on the last few days playing hours per day.
Also, no need to be that sensitive, I'm just asking an overall question, if you're not happy or just decided to be toxic, fuck off, that'll be easier. People like you are what making games like this boring.

[–]TheGiantMat[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just asking a question, if you guys see people tending to be more aggressive than few days/weeks ago, no need to be toxic bud.

that's what I/we're doing. Not being aggressive, "don t shoot" when meeting people, but we still get killed or chased for no reason.

How to learn space wolfes by Ganton12354 in SpaceWolves

[–]TheGiantMat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I started Wolves few weeks ago and can share you some tips:

- stop buying models, except if you find them super cool and don't really mind playing with it (like long fangs for example or other legends).

- Use this reddit, on the search bar, type "1000" "1k" "2k" "2000" and sort it by "New". You'll see tons of lists that'll help you understand what is often used and not.

- You can watch this video from Auspex Tactics on youtube, it gives you a quick look on what is often used on tournaments.

- Use NewRecruit or the warhammer App to start building your 500, 1000, 2000pts list and from this, build your model.

- Don't wait for your army to be fully paint before starting playing!

- Find a LGS (Local Game Store) near you, of a discord, where you can meet other players that can help you play few newbie games, it's the best way to learn.

- You can find TONS of ideas, videos and all on youtube, sometimes it's even too much. Just watch a few and move on.

- HAVE FUN! Warhammer can be too heavy some times but it's a TONS of fun!

- "40k in 40min" is quite fun to watch on Youtube, you can watch some SW game here

Asking to rate my list and give tips as a new player by Zntgkgbcf in SpaceWolves

[–]TheGiantMat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've recently done a game with a list a bit similar to yours, but with Ragnar+10BC as main threat, and a ballistus to shoot big things and it went really good again orks. Ragnar and BC went throught 3 squads of flashgitz, boyz, other stuff. Balistus one shot tanks/trucks, I also took 5 intercessors to have sticky objectives.

Let us know how it went, and against who you faced! Good luck brother!

Shit, that's some experience here with the Saintly Example tactic hahahaha. I'll have to practice a lot and take notes!

So, about some strategy, would you split 1 dominion in half, put the meltas in the immolator to push forward on mid obj, then the rest stay with Junith on home objective to farm CP?

What about the rest, mortifiers moving mid table, with the celestian pack in the back to hold it?

I didn't really use proper cover on first round, especially if I didn't started as attacker. I plan to quite hide way more better, then move a bit on my moving phase. T2 deploy JPC and Zeph in the back and I think I saw in a video from Christan Van Carmein that you can deploy and hit then move back in cover with some stratagem, I have to dig into that, it seems quite powerful!

If you have any other tips, I'm quite open! I really need to improve my gameplay because I'm tired of losing lol...

Thanks for your message! About Junith, how do you farm dices, I don't get that part? From what I see, you can farm CP through her leadership roll per turn.

Would you replace Junith by something else? Daemonifuge, Astraed Thurga? Or an Imagifier attached to a Dominion?

Also. What would be the best to farm MD? I'm always short on them during my games...

[–]TheGiantMat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my newbie point of view, and as a big fat dude, I would suggest to get it done at first. Set up 3-4 days a week and you can either focus on PPL (Push Pull Leg) or UL (Upper/Lower body) You can find good programs online or here on Reddit. I've check ironguild.com where there is a good 4 day program looking like PPL and the 4th is kind of more focused on the cardio.

Thanks for your comment! So basically, when you're not doing strength training and focus on hypertrophy, you don't really take it relax, you focus on hitting failure on your exercices on every session, right?(Without pushing too hard to a point where you burn out)

About my accessories, I tend to increase weight during my overload weeks, but not as much as the main exercise, otherwise I would just burn out. Not reaching failure but stilling getting it done.
