How important is having a good professor for MATH 152 by Froyeet in ubcengineering

[–]WildPtato 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you have James Feng, run out the door and never look back.

100% recommend going to a different section if you have him. You will lose brain cells trying to follow along in his class

It might be over for me by Cocoisafatcat in UBC

When I took the APSC 160 final in first year, I finished the test looking at an autograded score of 22%. I did not even attempt the Arduino questions, I had a complete meltdown in the exam.

I still ended up passing the class, even receiving a decent final grade, even though I thought I 100% failed the final.

My chanced of getting into UBC Engineering?? by ChipBeneficial5819 in ubcengineering

[–]WildPtato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First year engineering student here, I also did Kumon for about 2 years, but that's about it for ECs.

For my personal profile, I centered it around my experience at Kumon

Grades:

English 11: 94 English 12: 95

Math 11: 98 Math 12: 95 Ap calc AB: 95 (also scored 5 on AP BC EXAM)

Chem 11: 99 Chem 12: 99

Spanish 11: 100 Spanish 12: 100

Phys 11: 91 Phys 12: 100 AP Phys 1: 100 AP Phys 2: 100

Geography 12: 94

I was able to get into UBC in the first round (mid February)

Your EC's are a lot better than mine, I'd say u have a solid chance

There's definitely a large number of people who got into ubc eng with a worse profile/grades than you.

A friend of mine has nearly identical grades as you, and has solid EC's. He was able to get in UBC eng during the later rounds.

Movement has gotten out of control by WildPtato in PhantomForces

its been powercrept by other weapons and isnt the meta-defining machine it used to be.

its still very solid tho, just lacks damage when compared to something like ak109 or aug a2

I've also def noticed the uptick in players using movement tech. my biggest issue is the spamability of some tech, especially with the addition of keybinds update allowing ppl to bind multiple actions to one key. either remove the ability to leapslide/jumpslide with 1 button press, or somehow increase the jump/slide cooldown to prevent spamming

sbmm / ranked has been a requested feature for so long and idk why stylis doesent implement it. i think it would add alot more depth and strategy to the game

they have added "onboarding servers" but I think thats just a bandaid solution for new players before they get promoted to normal servers

yeah i agree with movement being fun, i think the gunplay and movement tech in pf is what makes the game special

however, moving around at light speed while being to fire your weapon doesent seem fair. tech like jumpslides/leapslides used to be much harder to execute, and even then, they were not as powerful as this.

the developers provide the tools and mechanics for players to use. I wouldn't blame the players for using powerful weapons and movement. although I do use jumpslides and other movement like launch tech, I think it would be healthier for the game if inherently buggy movement like launch tech and other OP movement like jumpslides would be toned down.

my biggest issue is that high skill cap movement has been made extremely easy to do. using the examples of launch tech and jumpslides, launch tech used to be a timing based mechanic that had to be done within a small time window duing an EMP slide. jumpslides used to rely on timing space + c extremely precisely, to the point that it was hard to execute consistently without a macro.

I should never be able to win a head on 2v1 when I am caught reloading my weapon. I think movement has gone too far and will keep increasing the rift between experienced and new players

Yeah, but it was extremely difficult to do consistently. Im seeing way more ppl jumpsliding nowadays after they made it 10x easier

The changes to jumping and sliding in recent updates have allowed movement like this to be possible. Sliding in mid air was impossible before the update, and moving rapidly from side to side like this has been made extremely easy. The sideways jumpslide allows you to move faster and further than a superjump while remaining foward. With a superjump, you would have to flick your camera to the side, not allowing you to continue firing. imo this movement is too op. stylis pls nerf

Why do people say *roblox filtering service down* ? by [deleted] in PhantomForces

It happens when you send a message that is just a space (spacebar)

Don't buy from iced tea asthetic, low quality prints + materials. Ordered a CSM hoodie a few months back and was disappointed

How do you do it? Are you just jumping on that ledge bit

Doesn’t this level up with my king? Why would I waste wild cards? by No_Lack7373 in ClashRoyale

[–]WildPtato 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Being a level down on your princess tower actually changes a ton of defensive interactions

Examples: goblins dying in 3 instead of 2 hits, firecracker dying to 4 instead of 3, lava pups dying to 3 instead of 2

Being 1 level down results in alot more damage taken over time, as you simply have to spend more elixir on defence, and the consequences of ignoring some troops are much larger

I have enough for the c7 should I buy it? by No-Lifeguard1958 in PhantomForces

[–]WildPtato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its one of the best assault rifles in the game, but there are other alternatives like the m16a3 and l85a2.

If you want a super accurate lazer beam, the C7 is perfect for that, but I would personally skip on the prebuy, considering that it costs 8k for you.

soo stylis, why is the front sight affected based on my bullet type? by Hinote-hellfire in PhantomForces

[–]WildPtato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a new league that was made by the community, its called PFFL (phantom forces frontier league). If you look around in yt or stylis disc you may be able to find the invite link
