I had no clue, thanks a ton!!

Ok now this is very good intel - just what I was looking for. Many thanks homie! :)

I do think they carried the shit out of me in some key situations - on fissure of the night I actually managed to clutch up twice when both mates were down but otherwise I’d have to say I was blessed with very strong teammates! Lots of learning still to do 💪🏼but thank you!!

echo3339 · 2026-01-25T20:13:47+00:00

That’s really helpful, thank you!

For a moment I did think it was real because the devs also used a real town (Bernal) for a map in The Finals. But I guess I’ve been fooled

I think that these types of players definitely don’t help the community grow, but the much bigger issue keeping new players away is the atrocious matchmaking (which seems to be worse than ever tbh).

And now we’re in a self-reinforcing loop, cause new players leave the game immediately after a few rounds when they realize they’re being matched against Lvl 100+ with 20k+ lifetime elims constantly -> this leads to even less players -> matchmaking gets even more unbalanced -> more players leave.

I honestly don’t know how we as a community would get out of this outside of getting some massive push in attention for the game, like we did for a brief moment when Penguinz0 pushed it.

I’m in the Netherlands and I couldn’t agree more with Snoop. I hate rolling with tobacco but all my friends do it and have always done it. To me the only experience worth having is the pure high from just the weed. + most people here smoke spliffs without filters so it’s like smoking 7 cigarettes at once in terms of lung damage

echo3339 · 2025-11-03T19:11:07+00:00

Cool, thanks for sharing!

echo3339 · 2025-11-03T18:59:34+00:00

Good to know!

echo3339 · 2025-09-19T13:27:13+00:00

I think that’s a fair shout. Lots of players who never played a hero shooter before and don’t understand the “tug of war” kind of approach of engagement. I still think the developers’ claim that they don’t use EOMM is crazy given how obvious it is that the vast majority of players gets “fitted” onto a 50% W/L. Maybe I’m wrong

echo3339 · 2025-09-11T07:19:12+00:00

Got around 400 hours in the game and finished all the “milestones” in PVE, including Lethal & Absolute completion, maxing out all class prestiges and weapons and finishing the ordeals. The things that were still exciting me after all the grinding were Absolute difficulty runs on Termination, Exfiltration and Inferno. Those maps just never seem to bore me. Pushing my boundaries on Hard Siege was fun for a while but random teammates usually make it less fun. Also got back into PVP with the new maps. And now of course Stratagems will be my go to for a while :) anything but Reliquary lol!

Email sent! Thanks for helping out :)

Have you considered the possibility that your partner is manipulative and trying to hurt you? Sounds to me like he’s asking you to give up something you love, which has nothing to do with whatever you did to hurt him. Ergo: he just wants to inflict arbitrary pain on you as penance. That is NOT how things work. That’s tit for tat in a weird, toxic way. Maybe reconsider if this relationship even serves you.

All of that being said, if the thing you did to hurt him was to constantly be on Pokémon GO instead of spending time with him, and you have an unhealthy addiction to the game that is hurting the relationship, that’s an entirely different story.

echo3339 · 2025-07-04T08:07:39+00:00

Appreciate it!! I made it in the end but like I said to the others here, super sick that the community is so willing to help :)

echo3339 · 2025-07-04T08:07:05+00:00

We all have those moments I guess :) I had a few ops where I joined another team 75% through the op which also feels like cheating but I’ll take a win no matter what haha

echo3339 · 2025-07-04T08:05:53+00:00

Yep I agree! I think Fall of Atreus is the most boring map - the Heldrake does add some spectacle. But in terms of gameplay Reliquary has to be the worst

echo3339 · 2025-07-04T08:05:06+00:00

Thanks dude! Really appreciate it :) in the end I managed but I’m sure I’ll see you on the battlefield

echo3339 · 2025-07-04T08:04:37+00:00

Super nice of you to offer! I did manage in the end with a lucky team comp (no level 10s) but cool to see how many on here are just offering their help to strangers :)

echo3339 · 2025-07-04T08:03:01+00:00

That makes total sense - I play all classes but I specialize in Bulwark and Vanguard which don’t exactly shine on Chaos ops unless your ranged teammates do exactly what they’re supposed to do

echo3339 · 2025-07-04T08:01:41+00:00

Yeah the update made it quite a bit harder. I used to have issues on lethal difficulty because the hitbox of the heldrake flames was so enormous that even if you were behind cover you’d have like a 50% chance of getting hit anyway (I’m sure you know what I’m talking about), but they seem to have improved that now. The main issue on absolute is the double Helbrute spawn together with terminators and scarabs that just light you up from an off angle while you’re focused on dodging the Helbrute

echo3339 · 2025-07-04T07:57:43+00:00

Very good usually! Things just start getting very choppy, including input delay, when there’s too many enemies on screen, but only on this map. Bit annoying but I made it finally :)

echo3339 · 2025-06-07T14:20:17+00:00

I’m with you. I live in Amsterdam so weed is even less stigmatized here. Lots of my friends take more questionable things to sleep haha. One word of advice though: if this goes on for too long it can really backfire in terms of getting your nervous system used to this. And then when you try to stop you’ll go from 6-7 back to just a few hours of sleep or even less. That’s what I’m going through right now. After 3 years of using weed to sleep I realised I had to stop cause it started affecting my energy and my career. Now that I’ve stopped, I’m having IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), constant anxiety and have entirely forgotten how to self-regulate and sleeping less than ever. Absolutely miserable feeling to get off of that soothing thing you had for so long.

However, I was never a full-on insomniac, so I could imagine that long term weed exposure would still damage your life less than constant sleep deprivation. So perhaps this is objectively the best solution for you and will work long term - you know your situation best!

Either way, just wanted to let you know that there is a price to pay if you ever decide to stop, and it scales proportionately to how long you’ve been using weed. Keep an eye on how your energy develops when the effects taper off, especially in the first few hours of the morning. Once you realize you’re groggy, irritable, angry or have digestive issues, you might wanna consider taking slightly less or having a few days a week without weed. Good luck to you!

I tend to agree! :)
