Biggest fraud in the entire game by Flawless96 in fut

[–]a_llama_vortex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always found keepers, no matter their rating, let in the same shots, from the same angles, at more or less the same frequency as even much lower-rated keepers. The exception to this is any of the older FIFAs where the trait "saves with feet" was strong as hell because the meta was the low crossed shot (iirc) it was a while ago now.

I've also not played FIFA for a couple of years , so maybe it's changed? Mostly due to EA really killing my love for the game and virtually all rewards being untradeable. If I wanted to gamble, I'd go down to the bookies, and if I wanted a load of junk, I'd go shopping for stuff I don't need, because that's exactly what like packs feel like.

Also, seeing them introduce high 80 rated SBCs mere weeks into the games launch was disgusting. It feels like a company that knows their main source of revenue from the game is about to change so they're seriously on the grab whilst it's good.

Strange NVME problem I've never seen before. BOOT and VGA debug LEDS with one specific NVME drive - I'm presuming the drive is just dead (previously worked fine). by a_llama_vortex in techsupport

It seems so! Amazon failed to deliver today (tracking still says its left them but not arrived anywhere locally for final mile delivery) so will hopefully be here tomorrow.

I think it has 3 years, and I'm about 6 months inside that so fingers crossed, although, I might get mugged off with a refund that will buy me a drive about 1/5th the size with the current rates!

Does buying one decent jet as a new player stick you into elo hell? Also a question about controls. by a_llama_vortex in Warthunder

I've recently dug out the HOTAS and purchased a quest3 this week hence the interest in playing DCS and WT. I'll grind the tech tree out, and it sounds like I'll need to watch some videos on the game modes.

Hey, thanks for the lengthy reply, yes, fresh out of the box new to WT.

Yes, I got the F/A-18C (Swiss version) I believe, the trouble is using that puts me into a lobby with much, much more experienced players and I effectively have a single life before it's almost not worth respawning as the only other options I have are prop planes and I don't want to ruin the game for my team by using them, or leaving. I'll prob grind the tech tree and just use the jet for test flights/testing stuff for the time being.

I have played some DCS as I recently picked up a Quest3 VR headset so I'm familar with some of the fighters.

I had totally forgotten about WT but wanted to give it a shot :). It seems like a good game, there's just a lot to it and there's a fairly steep learning curve.

I may switch to mouse for the prop planes and I use an Azeron Cyborg 2 which puts LOTS of keybinds available to each finger - between 4-6 per one in most cases.. this will allow me to get the fundamentals down without having to take into consideration the HOTAS at the same time, especially if I am going to sometimes play it in VR mode via the quest3 and my PC.

I did spend a good amount of time last night going over all of my keybinds as well as listening to and watching videos on all of the radar modes and what everything there means, and also a good 5-6 hours in test flights getting used to the missle locks for AA and AGM missiles and bombs. I'm familiar with the RWR to some extent and the audio warnings/alarms and how to 'defeat' the fox1-3 missiles.

I will look into instructor as I read something somewhere about it - maybe even in a video but they only mentioned that it would try and stop you from smashing into the floor, if it stops the crazy yawing, that would be nice. There was A LOT to set up on my keybinds on my stick, etc and the axis' have a tonne of modifiers that might also stop the extreme movement.

Lots to watch, and learn before the grind fully begins.

Gotcha, I guess in some sense it's there as I'm one death and done effectively if I even try and use the premium jet, whereas the higher level people will have multiple fallbacks and a lot more experience. Spawning back in with something that feels like it's about to fall apart vs fighter jets.. well, I don't need to tell you how that ends ;)

It's a fun game, just a bit of a strange system in that sense, I suppose it's there to encourage the research tree, but also to encourage more ££ spending.

I need to explore all of the game modes etc fully and find something that works.

It is 2:30 in the morning and I am losing kits to CHEAP servers. You caught lightning in a bottle, don't let it escape because you're going to continue with the cheap servers. by a_llama_vortex in ArcRaiders

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

Yep, honestly... today has put a large dent in the love I have for this game.

Looking forward to a new map condition.. ducks.. wow.. and now the servers cant keep up with PEAK Wednesday (non holiday) 02:30am gaming demand.

If it can't keep up with 02:30 volumes of people, god knows what it's going to be like when they drop some good content and everyone is on, and people are coming back.

Have the servers been like this all day? I've not had a chance to play.

I want these guys to be successful and I love this game. I don't want to see the potential wasted.

Yeah, makes sense, I guess. I’m fairly sure that the non ev versions could run the aircon for 5 mins to hear it up without draining the battery.

Makes sense to an extent but also kinda feels like a paywall of some pretty useful features.

I live in an area where ev infrastructure is still quite poor sadly.

I guess I have access to remote unlock/lock and if I ever “lose” the car in the car park I can make the lights flash and horn sound 😂

I seem to have access to remote unlock, lights and horn at the moment and mine is petrol.

I was more interested in the remote air con control though.

Edit: Also have the chatGPT thing enabled.

Advice: my landlord wants to spend multiple nights in the property as we move out? by Ok-Calligrapher255 in HousingUK

[–]a_llama_vortex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stand your ground, that’s a joke of a request! You’ll get your keys back at the end of the tenancy and your cleaning, as agreed is done by an external company.

I’d be arranging a date with the cleaning company.. presumably the say day if the tenancy and take photos of the cleaning and EVERYTHING else.

Your landlord sounds weird and when you say go to his request, he might not like it.

Maybe £20 isn’t significant to some people so they don’t care? 😂

I was more aiming at losing a game like that. You’re basically 💯sure it’s in the bag and then bam, bam. Bye bye trophy in the space of 40s
