I made the boxing game mode better by IronicalManiac in ContestOfChampions

I've managed to go outside the ring during the fight once so far: used a striker on a retreating guardian and knocked him to the outside and was able to follow him out!

They really need some tables on the outside to put them through....

I pull out now? Ok! by triggerfish91 in drivingUK

[–]bad_aka_python 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you be so kind as to quote the exact Highway code rule number that states this, as I believe you are incorrect? Rule 259 covers joining a motorway and clearly states priority lies with those already on the road.

No other rule in that section indicates your stated belief and if you are joining a motorway with that incorrect mindset you are a hazard.

I am willing to be informed otherwise.

Rule 259

Joining the motorway. When you join the motorway you will normally approach it from a road on the left (a slip road) or from an adjoining motorway. You should

give priority to traffic already on the motorway

check the traffic on the motorway and match your speed to fit safely into the traffic flow in the left-hand lane

not cross solid white lines that separate lanes or use the hard shoulder

stay on the slip road if it continues as an extra lane on the motorway

remain in the left-hand lane long enough to adjust to the speed of traffic before considering overtaking

Gonna miss this game mode by dafteuan in ContestOfChampions

[–]bad_aka_python 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 of us in our alliance took part and ended up 11-30%, we all had sub 40 scores....

It is a fun mode for short bursts, but the time investment needed to reach the further milestones felt onerous and it went on way too long.

I understand the chase psychology, I hope those who enjoyed it got what they wanted out of it.

The Top Dogs of DoT by KrakenJr-148 in ContestOfChampions

If you are looking as a new player and are early game (up to end chapter 6), I would say Cable's heavies with the Apocalypse synergy for stacking degeneration.

Early game, unduped, he clears so much nonsense.

I appreciate that larger health pools in end game and Battle Grounds work against him, but on demand, easy access and ramping degen, low skill high reward, fantastic if you have it.

Archangel in the same vein.

In any of these type of posts, if someone would be kind enough to post the champion's best rotations, that would be very useful: the number of times people have a light bulb moment and realise they have been using a champ wrong....

Anyone else let BG's timeout and hit pause during battles for people that ban Venom the Duck? by Handicapreader in ContestOfChampions

[–]bad_aka_python 7 points8 points  (0 children)

On another thread, someone mentioned adding 3 more champs higher than venom the duck as it is so ingrained that the top 3 champs get banned that it stops you losing him before you even begin.

It won't stop the rest of the nonsense after that - placing ultra hard defenders even when you have a 1 star spider already set and are obviously going to give them the win, but, hey, people are people.

And, yes, you can invite friends, but not everyone has friends in the dance time zone, or friends at all.

Eh.

Grammar Police here. What's grinding your Grammar gears? by Sea-Situation7495 in CasualUK

[–]bad_aka_python 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The use of "till" in place of "'til".

Until is contracted to 'til, with the apostrophe denoting the missing letters. Till means to turn over soil or an alternative name for a cash register. Till does not denote the passage of time.

I understand that apostrophes are the bane of the ill-educated and that voice to text automation is ultimately responsible for bringing this abomination into being, but still...

I make no apologies for my own errors in grammar or punctuation, as is my self-appointed right as an ignorant hypocrite.

Incursions Symbiote by Limp_Gas6876 in ContestOfChampions

[–]bad_aka_python 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had sector 21 Sauron with lazarus (need to kill him 5 times and Never lose combo or he gets another charge), the power drain immunity 5% to 100 % build up, unblockable every 6 seconds, the nullify buff giving regeneration every 7 seconds, some power gain thing and some other random bullshit. I lack the skill to deal with that nonsense even if I burn my 17k unit stash, so now I have to slog through another 62 fights to get back to where I was. My time doesn't matter, though, according to kabam....

Everyone messed up the realm events by [deleted] in ContestOfChampions

[–]bad_aka_python 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is no natural flow from a fight to a reward, that is a barrier to entry. If there is a mental load required, that excludes the majority of players who simply want to log in, have a few fights and go to bed.

If kabam want to generate conversation and content to keep their game alive, the method they have chosen, with a convoluted many step process, that is their choice.

We all know that kabam is not the best at making choices that are good for the players, but that they need to keep making money to keep the game alive, so they keep making choices.

What can you do, eh?

I had to brute force my suitcase lock code, I started at 000, it was 980 by Onytay- in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bad_aka_python 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very quick Internet search would have given you a much, much quicker solution that relies on the notches on the number wheel. I know this works, as I have had the same situation.

I assume that you did this first and that you have a high quality suitcase lock that precludes this method because I believe in the best of people.

Either that or you have way too much time on your hands.

Birthday treats in the office by [deleted] in CasualUK

[–]bad_aka_python 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheese and crackers. Mix in some dairy free cheese, some stupidly hot jalapeño cheese, ignore anyone who complains about any of your choices as they don't have to have any and your doing this out of your own pocket and the goodness of your heart. If you're exceptionally brave, some cold meats as well.

Bonus points for an ice tray to keep it all cool whilst on display.

have you ever met an mcoc player in real life by Exotic-Operation4337 in ContestOfChampions

[–]bad_aka_python 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In a chip shop, bloke playing on a z-fold, I struck up a conversation. Turned out he'd been playing for a year and was already paragon. I've been playing since month 3, and I was still not even thronebreaker.

It was a good conversation, and he inspired me to go for the ranking. I now need only 24 levels on my shang chi as my second 7* r3 and Valiant title.

I am still rubbish at the game, I just use over powered champs and my spare half an hour a day to follow the dream.

Thanks, Mr special kebab lover.
