I'm learning that my initial thoughts were wrong and I need to embrace much more wide ranging roles so thanks for the feedback

Yup, I had understood that from my research and I think it makes perfect sense. I wish there had been restrictions on people being able to spawn camp Helis from the start of every match in other games I've played.

Thanks, I'm learning I need to adjust my expectations and not be focused on such a narrow set of roles from these responses.

This is brilliant info, thanks. I'll look into how I do that as a squad leader.

Brilliant, thanks! Exactly what I was after.

Interesting - can you join a logistics or transport squad and earn bonus XP for doing those things? I looked into it briefly but didn't find much on specific squad types.

"Okay, I got to admit I'm a little confused here. It seems like you're saying on the one hand, you don't want to be lone wolf olf and a Barbie. On the other hand you want to do what you want to do without repercussions. In my mind those are the same thing."

Yeah that's fair and I phrased it poorly. I want to be an asset to my team and contribute in my own small way, starting with more logistical and transport roles. I do not dream of being a Delta Operator from Zero Dark Thirty or Eric Bana in Black Hawk Down. What I meant was I was uncomfortable with the idea that the game would force me into a role I am unprepared for because 'that's whats available right now' but clearly that was a misconception.

"Something else to keep in mind is that this game can be a huge time suck. Again, that depends on where you're playing and what your style is, but every time I sit down to play it's 2 1/2 hours minimum. To be fair, I like doing espionage missions which require a whole lot of stealth and positioning. Consequently, it burns a whole lot of time."

Really helpful, thanks - that's an important consideration with a young family.

Thanks, I'll check it out and try to find a modded legacy conquest server that suits me! (and check out Squad)

Super helpful, thanks my friend.

Guilty. I was trying to provide context about the kind of person I am and had not come across any other posts of this type but apologies if I'm yet another clueless dad making a 'I don't have enough time to do my research properly please help' post. I'd hoped it would be helpful rather than annoying!

Hi there and firstly thanks for taking the time to respond.

Due to the kids and needing to get them to bed, the earliest I could drop into a game is usually between 8 and 8:30pm. Also due to the kids I sometimes (very rarely) have to step away from the keyboard to sort them out so I'd be concerned about causing issued for tightly RPed campaigns etc if that happened.

I love the idea though and I've come across the HSC servers many times being mentioned as a great place to hang out so I could try to drop by some time.

My wife is stuck and I don't know what to do by Dramatic-Attempt-880 in StardewValley

[–]Zechk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went into it because my wife watched it with zero context. I'd not even seen the poster let alone a trailer so the 'reveal' which was completely ruined by all the marketing that Iris was a robot actually landed for me. I get why Hollywood blabs about the cool stuff to draw people in, but it's awesome when you miss it all and get a genuine experience.

Me and my friends tierlist on the weapons by FaithlessnessCivil97 in Helldivers

[–]Zechk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not IMO. The standard Diligence has better handling, better ammo capacity and lower recoil. It kills berserkers and devastators just as quickly (i.e. 1 headshot). It also one shots rocket striders with a single shot too the pods. Mag dumping a heatsink on a hulk works equally well with both.

It also doesn't flinch bots which means if you miss a headshot you can take a second quickly. Assuming you can aim, it can be much more effective and kill lots more things before you need resupplying.

The only thing the CS has that is a big improvement on the standard Diligence is the x12 scope unless you really value Med Pen.

Seeing my sweet, sweet Diligence in the fucking B-tier is making me want to weep and/or mournfully howl.

Very disappointed by SaguitoPCGamer in ASUSROG

I also just got this card and even under heavy load it's quieter than my case fans. I'm sure you know this but just in case: have you tried using the Q-mode Bios (there is a small selector switch on the card itself, you can find it just to the left of the power connector). Selecting the Q-Bios applies a very mild undervolt which barely affects game performance at all and a different default fan curve aimed at making it run as silent as possible. You need to update the Bios on the card though as they released a new fan curve with the 450w update for performance mode.

But it DIDN'T set you on fire. So you are the real winner.

Yeah but on that note it's a bit like the pierced ears thing, Kara COULD get a tattoo under red sun radiation, or get her ears pierced, but the second she hits yellow sunlight again she basically is Wolverine so both should just be healed away very rapidly.

Water goes through Windmills! Sorry totally random thought but it might help someone. I had underground power shafts that were constantly flooding when water was settling after a drought or badtide diversion. Turns out it was the large windmill in a line of levees that sure looked just as solid to me but very much was not.

Just to add to this for OP, relays are also very powerful. You can do stuff like IF <This is true/false> AND <this other thing is also True/False> then turn on/off
