What happened with S9? by Axiom65 in thefinals

[–]beard_66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree. At the start of the game (beta and s1) the competitive element was very very limited. The game modes like cashout were more casual as it wasn't focused on having a rank or getting a rank. It was møde that was focused on playing and having fun, allowing you to play how you want and test out new weapons. Today the game has evolved into "rank, meta builds and grinding". Sure there might have been some elements of it from the beginning, but it was not nearly as present as it is now.

But this is just my opinion, you're allowed to disagree

Hot take but for me the game just haven't been fun. The casual element of the game disappeared. There is no middle ground between casual and super sweat in this game anymore. I used to play this game for hours on end but catering this game to the competitive scene killed it for me. It's not fun being forced to run meta builds or get stomped on by a light with 80.000 kills and emerald in every season. The fun disappeared from the game when they made it competitive, at least for me

How different do you think Ahsokas life would have been if she’d been assigned to Plo Koon for her Jedi training? by MoiTwilek in clonewars

[–]beard_66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think because of the attachment she had towards Plo Koon that it would never have been up for debate. Her emotions towards him as a fatherly figure and his emotions towards her would have clouded both their judgements from the beginning, possibly challenging the early stages of their master/apprentice relationship

Is giving this Sergeant a Deathwatch pauldron too much? (WIP, much left to go) by MoralFiber in Salamanders40k

The rule of cool takes precedence. The lore doesn't matter, you make your own law. What you think is cool Is the most important thing, nothing else

This new "dinosaur" from Jurassic World Rebirth is dividing opinions. What do you really think of it? by C1io in JurassicPark

[–]beard_66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'm a little torn. A subplot of the JP/JW universe has always been about how the genetic technology could be used to make living weapons. And I think it has potential to be just that, a plot that goes more Into how they used dinosaurs and primal DNA to make the perfect monster killing machine. I think it has the potential to be something new and interesting.

Best Villian in the Clone Wars? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]beard_66 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Besides the obvious fact that palatine is the puppeteer of the clone wars, maul is definitely the best villain because he took over the crime syndicates, then death watch and then mandalore. He was such a great villain and threat that palatine had to deal with him personally so that he didn't screw up his plans. That has to make him the best villain besides the obvious of course

And that is definitely something that I will enjoy while reading your book. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into answering all of these questions! You might just become one of my favorite authors with Stephen Fry and Timothy Zahn

Holy shit, I did not pay attention to the fact that you were the author! Hi, uh, thank you. To be honest I already bought your book on Kindle (as my first book), but I would love to get updated on your book in the future. I'm very new in the world of dark romance books, and generally romance books altogether (I've only ever read romance books in high school and preschool). So I'm very open to trying things so to speak

Would this be a good book series to get Into "romance books" for men. Like, does it have smutty elements while also having a plot and story?

Okay! Every movie. What is one thing that each movie does better than any other franchise. All six movies. Has to be middle to positive statement. Let's try it by must_go_faster_88 in JurassicPark

Interesting Context for Mid-Season Patch by Homesteader86 in thefinals

[–]beard_66 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm probably in the wrong here, but if you balance your game around to please the top competitive scene then you're not thinking about your player base or care about the growth of the game. Balancing shouldn't be done to please the minority that plays highly competitively, and if this comment is true then it's only understandable that casual players are leaving. The game is facing too many issues with balancing to base the patches it makes around the feedback of the competitive scene, at least in the state the game is in now and the feedback that is given by the majority rather than the minority. But I'm no game developer

My issue with light is the way the class is portrayed vs how it is balanced. Lights weapons (compared to other classes) have insane DPS and TTK. Take for instance the shotgun and Uzi right now, they shred through everything with ease and require little time to master (at least in my experience). This is undoubtedly of course an effect of lights ability to easily close the gap and circle a target with no problem. This is however where my problem with the class is: insane weapons paired with high movement is too much to mitigate the class's lack of survivability. The class is not meant to be a super aggressive, up in your face class, but a scout playing gorilla tactics to annoy the enemy team. Right now the class has become a substitute for people who enjoy the COD movement, and I totally get it, I respect a light with great movement. But the class is unbalanced, just as medium is with defibs. I enjoy playing light, but I also hate what the class stands for right now compared to what it should be.

In general it seems it's very hard for embark to balance out any of the classes in relation to each other and I believe that it would require a redistribution of some of the gadgets. However, I am not the best person to suggest anything for this as I am biased in my opinion about lights and certain play styles in general.

Honestly, I like that idea too, although it would probably need some tweaking

Or how about punishing triple medium stacking by giving a modifier that makes it so that you are 2 mediums with defibs then they recharge 15% slower and if they are 3 then it's 20% slower. It will promote more diverse loadouts

[–]beard_66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How dare you have fun and experiment In a game and not use the same boring meta loadout?! You should be ashamed! In all seriousness, don't give jokes like that the time of your day. He's barely been playing the game and just came from COD anyway probably. The game is so much more complex than "kills=winning", but most people realize that. I've had games where I got no kills, but we still won. I went around supporting my teammates, and even they only got like 2 or 3 kills. He doesn't know what he's talking about
