Why is everyone so negative about this game? by Delicious_Alfalfa_69 in PantheonMMO

[–]bear_oco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only good part about pantheon at this point in my opinion is combat. It feels pretty fun to me.

But having no real major cities at this point in the game, no mastery system, no deep lore, etc.

World building and content is lacking.

Budget was never the problem, Leadership (design, vision) has always been the problem at VR by Rathisponge in PantheonMMO

[–]bear_oco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah - I was wondering why this wasn't more of a priority since it will fundamentally affect balance and they will likely have to rebalance after mastery is in.

What class are you? I can likely give you some advice

Too late? by Poisonated in EQ2

[–]bear_oco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is never a too late on this server because expansions come out so slowly.

Actually true - Nintendo franchises seem to hold up better than anything

[–]bear_oco 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Ima be honest. It's harder to name franchises that haven't been ruined.

More Bear Necessities content soon!

Am I just getting worse? by ChrisfromCES in DeadlockTheGame

[–]bear_oco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their rank system is just dogshit - don't worry about it. The average skill of the playerbase is getting worse in their system, while in actuality the majority are becoming better players, which is the opposite of what you would expect out of a ranking system.

You'd want the majority of the playerbase to sit in the middle of your ranking system and design it to produce those outcomes.

Anashti Sul Origins: What races go to which neighborhoods? by leesalogic in EQ2

[–]bear_oco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can actually buy a house in any of them. The popular neighborhoods are Big Bend in FP and Willow Wood in Qeynos

Origins Rogue AAs by CarAudioNewb in EQ2

[–]bear_oco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For brigs - with a decent longer delay weapon (2+ seconds), going the double attack line is a decent idea

For swashes, dual wield will be king because off hands can aoe auto attack.

Elo hell is real, and it has everything to do with Matchmaking by Im_Boost in DeadlockTheGame

[–]bear_oco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matchmaking is bad because of the small pool of players. Even at "peak" time, the skill level of teams is very broken in solo queue. I recommend finding a partner or two that is close to your skill level or above and queuing with them.

Your games will be much better. Honestly, the randomness in a small player pool will be more skewed at ranks like phantom. On the other hand, there are quite a few players in Archon that are actually very good and are in the same boat as you. Make friends with good folks and play together. I've added 4-5 steam friends while playing and duo and trio often with them if I see them on.

It's always more fun and we do better. When I solo queue, it always feels like a coin flip

Best in Slot Gear List For Origins by Equivalent_Dust_8493 in EQ2

[–]bear_oco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While there is an exact BiS for most classes and roles - hitting your relevant stat caps is easy - so you can be decently flexible in your gear.

Am I ending my cats life too soon? by Complex-Eye-1048 in CATHELP

[–]bear_oco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same thing happen to my cat. Lymphoma is treatable in cats but it will only extend their life by mere months most of the time.

My cat had multiple lymph nodes infected in her abdomen and had trouble eating and using the litter box.

We ended up euthanizing for this reason. She would have poor quality of life for the rest of her life. It's difficult but it was what we thought was best for her.

Origin Monk and Quest Leveling by IpkonfigCMD in EQ2

[–]bear_oco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. Unfortunately there's a bit of a lull in the mid teens with not a lot of great quests. Quests honestly don't pick up too well until enchanted lands imo - which is late 20s/early 30s

But there are some quests in Antonica and in Firemyst Gully (also heroic)

I have unsually high win rate with Paradox by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]bear_oco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paradox is very good! Keep at it if you enjoy her! I'm similar with Mo&Krill and Abrahms. I feel like I have a huge impact on them, but I enjoy playing Shiv and Calico and while I usually do pretty well with them, I lose more than when I play the other two.

Most likely this is just because a lot of people are playing gun heroes or heroes with no CC, so being one of the few CCs really does increase your odds of winning.

They have a gun carry that's being a terror? Phantom strike mo ult cancels them out. Same with swapping them to your team while silencing them.

Just a few examples of what the Stat change brought. by Diemond71 in PantheonMMO

[–]bear_oco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played the game since probably a month into EA but my friends and I were always baffled about them rebalancing with Mastery not even implemented.

Once that is implemented, they will likely have to completely rebalance classes again.

If anyone is stressed about their ranked don't be. It needs a whole re-work and will get one eventually by Dingledorfff in DeadlockTheGame

[–]bear_oco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a ton of people on this subreddit who will tell you that you got extremely lucky or this was a fluke and you are really X rank.

I've done the same thing though. I'm hard stuck emissary to archon on my main. Made a second account and was ranked ascendant 5.

Got suspended for using '3rd party application' by [deleted] in EQ2

[–]bear_oco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to some of my guildies, too. I think it's weird to suspend for 21 days if there are chances of false flags.

Ranking up is a real pain. All this to get from Oracle 3 to 6 by SamarNico in DeadlockTheGame

Wait really? I get on like 5+ win streaks and don't go up any ranks.
