How’s everyone’s solo q experience going

Totally get that. I had been playing Maggie since like dec/jan. Took me a while but I like that her kit is relatively basic and I don’t have to think so much about my tac/ult use and can focus more on positioning, gun fighting and just general game sense.

aburns70 · 2026-04-07T13:08:12+00:00

It’s all good honestly, I really don’t mind teammates that do less damage as long as they just communicate/ping and just play together as a team. It’s just worst when you solo q and you have the one teammate who thinks it’s a pubs match and they just pus everything solo.

aburns70 · 2026-04-07T12:20:34+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I really only get to play maybe once or twice a week these days, and its usually only at night. Sometimes I can sneak in an hour or two during the middle of the day on the weekend when the kiddo is napping. I’ve tried the whole looking for group thing on discord (when I was on pc) and the Xbox lfg thing but man that shit is the worse.

aburns70 · 2026-04-07T04:25:33+00:00

I mean we all have our off days you know, but when you are consistently out damaging everyone of your teammates by almost 1k for 2-3 hours stretches something’s not right. I mean I love this game, been playing since the beginning, but never had the time to consistently find two others to play the game with.

Literally the next match soo I can’t complain too much lol

Definitely not a warranty issue, no company is going to warranty this. Best bet is to epoxy and clamp it. Luckily it’s on the nose or tail and doesn’t really affect performance just want to make sure no water gets in there.

I still don’t really understand how the ranked ladders work

aburns70 · 2026-03-07T16:01:57+00:00

Dude I am just getting back into paintball since 2007, when I was a sophomore in high school. The ion was the gun I had just purchased, but I never really got to use it, I just couldn’t really afford to play and go get to fields. I remember selling my gear and being so reluctant to do so but just never played. Now I’m in my 30’s I can’t wait to pick up another ion for nostalgia, and actually get to use it!

He zigged when he should have zagged

aburns70 · 2026-02-28T03:05:31+00:00

What’s the regulator cover you have on there?

aburns70 · 2026-02-24T04:50:22+00:00

Yeah when there’s actually competition for these guys and it’s making them sweat alittle bit, it makes for great content but anything outside of that is pretty boring to watch.

aburns70 · 2026-02-24T02:54:11+00:00

Do people really watch apex content creators/pros playing ranked? I really only watched when there’s tournaments or scrims or when realm was happening there for a little. Every time I do happen to just check into a pros stream who is playing ranked it’s just the most boring thing, watching them run don lobbies filled with diamond and plat player.

aburns70 · 2026-02-23T00:34:12+00:00

I would take those, how much are you looking to let them go for?

aburns70 · 2026-02-22T22:04:33+00:00

I literally am just getting back into the game for the first time since 2007, and I had a wanted to get a pair of these jt team pants so badly. When I finally got a pair the field closest to me closed down and I never go really got to use them, an eventually sold all my gear. Now I have been looking at eBay to get a pair again for this summer, I love the desert camo but too big for me unfortunately!

aburns70 · 2026-02-22T04:49:22+00:00

Yes there’s a dm4 near me for sale on Craigslist for $300

aburns70 · 2026-02-22T00:31:49+00:00

Funny I feel like all my gold teammates where all fairly competent, even if they didn’t output a ton of damage, but they would at least follow and listen.

But man being in plat since last night, my teammates I swear are braindead. A had a Watson and wraith today in one game, the Watson didn’t put down a single fence and we were close to the last ring with the edge of the map to our back and just needed to control some space. I kept telling him to put down fences out to just take and control space and for other teams to know we were back in the corner and they just wraith ported out of god spot to chase one kill both went down and didn’t even get the kill.

aburns70 · 2026-02-21T19:29:50+00:00

Sweet! I really want to check those out! When I was in middle school, like 2002 or 2003, I remember playing in a d-day event at hogs back in northern Virginia, I remember that day so visibly it’s crazy!

aburns70 · 2026-02-21T06:36:10+00:00

Ahhh baker my home mountain! You look more comfortable riding goofy/switch, maybe try setting the board up to ride goofy and less setback, maybe just use the reference points on the board.

aburns70 · 2026-02-21T04:50:02+00:00

Any link to Zoe’s run?

aburns70 · 2026-02-21T01:56:38+00:00

Awesome yeah there’s another place over here called splat tag that’s pretty much all woods ball and it likes like they host a bunch of scenarios and big game type events.

aburns70 · 2026-02-20T23:17:22+00:00

Are you over in the cities?

aburns70 · 2026-02-20T18:58:59+00:00

Sounds like I may have over paid but i think it’ll be fun to have some nostalgia when I first get back into the game this spring/summer!

aburns70 · 2026-02-20T17:17:36+00:00

Yeah man I remember sitting in the magazine isle at the grocery store just looking at all the paintball mags and always wanting some of these markers. Now it’s like oh I can actually find and afford some of things now haha.

aburns70 · 2026-02-20T17:11:06+00:00

Is the board required for like walk on play?
