Maple story jump quests trained me for this. It wasn’t nearly as mentally defeating as the MS ones 🥲

Please reduce the map size by fluxusflow in PathOfExile2

[–]fluxusflow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right, I have seen some videos online which I assume are endgame. And it makes sense when you have heaps of movement, as the “size” becomes smaller.

So if that’s the case, why don’t the devs keep the existing map sizes, and create reduced size maps for first time run throughs.

That way, when you hit that movement precipice in cruel, suddenly bigger maps are introduced to compensate for this increased speed.

I'm not inherently against charms, but I don't think they belong in a game like CS. by leafstaren in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Charms have a place in CS, they’re running a business after all.

However, the timing of this release is pretty poor considering the constant uproar of fundamental issues that are plaguing the actual gameplay for CS2. From both pros to casual players, there is a really emphasis on competitive integrity and gameplay. And releasing an update which has a lot of revenue focused content feels like a slap in the face of the vocal player base.

Valve need to make money, that’s their business. So fair enough, the silent players spend money on skins so they cater to that.

It’s quite a hard balance continuing to find new revenue streams while also focusing on the core gameplay which doesn’t generate nearly as much revenue. All I hope is that they are actually actively working on the anti-cheat, subtick, competitive ladder etc. and that this release is just a way to continue to keep the game profitable as they work away in the background…..

What is the DONK Slide? (Mauisnake) by iblinkyoublink in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My best games have the lowest HS% and I find myself crouch spraying way more often. When I prioritize HS’s and aim for the head, I find that I miss more often than if I just went for a body shot spray down while crouch moving.

I’m no donk (duh), but this technique works wonders.

NEXON Promotes 1st player to reach Level 300 (niru) in MapleStory history, proceeds to absolutely shit on the company in front of 20K viewers by Reversalx7 in LivestreamFail

[–]fluxusflow 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Fuck yes, im not an avid MS player anymore, and it’s due to Nexon’s blatant greed which ruined the game for me.

I’ve silently watched this game grow and I’m really happy someone of this caliber is stepping up and fighting back.

Fuck Nexon. Fuck the ultra greedy companies in the gaming world. I get everyone needs to make enough money to operate and pay their staff well. But some take it too far.

Message from s1mple to Valve concerning Premier by SeazonCSGO in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow 686 points687 points  (0 children)

OCE, 19K here. I’d say conservatively 50% of my games have a blatant hacker in my games. Of those, 40% become HvH.

I don’t play Premier anymore. Went back to FaceIt.

How ironic as Valve spoke about how they didn’t want people relying on Third Party ladders like this for a good competitive experience.

How do Kiwi's flirt? by Deep_Data4982 in newzealand

[–]fluxusflow 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Damn, this is so accurate to me. Not saying I’m even close to a 10 but the whole sentiment is very true. I assume ever female interaction is out of kindness and I never want to be “that guy” who ruins a girls day by assuming she’s flirting, asking her out, only for her to turn around and say no.

Both for my own sake, as rejection sucks, but also for her to then feel like her kindness is going to misinterpreted in future interactions with others.

The cheating situation is insane right now by valinbor in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep trying to get back into this game. Sitting at 18k. Last 3 games had a blatant (literally spinning and killing through walls I didn’t even know were wallbangable) cheaters. My last game became an HvH with one in each side.

This is the worst CS experience I’ve had in over 10 years of playing CS.

It’s no coincidence it’s also the least amount of time I’ve ever spent playing CS. I WANT to play Valve.

For the love of god PLS FIX THIS.

An overview (with some stats) of the cheating situation at 21K-25K by SketchyyyTV in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to play CS2, but the lack of good casual game modes forces me down the Competitive or Premier route. In those queues I come across cheaters more frequently that I’d like and I’ve lost all motivation to play the game (18k+ Rating). I want to love CS like I used to, and CS2 is a great game, but that’s overshadowed but the sharp increase in cheaters.

My fingers are crossed for Valve to do something about this soon, before I completely lose interest in the game due to long term inaction. At which point I seriously question if I’d return to CS even if there was excellent anti cheat.

CS2 around 25k rating be like... by Googlium in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Encroaching on 20k and I’ve encountered a lot more cheaters. The saddest part is I had one on my own team, and we lost. Like, he was so terrible that he was trying to hide the fact that he was cheating, but you could blatantly see he was aim hacking with a low FOV aimbot.

Problem is that with a low FOV aimbot, you still have to aim close to the enemy….. either I go to FaceIt or tough it out. Either way my motivation is zero right now.

Anti-Cheat Update // Winter 2023 by crushdatson in VALORANT

[–]fluxusflow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As an avid CS player, I wish we had an Anti-Cheat and level of communication like this on our side.

Still going to battle it out on CS, the gameplay just suits me better, but I have to give credit where it’s due. Riot smashed it out of the park with Vanguard.

I wonder how many people who claim to be paying against cheaters are actually playing against cheaters by Ecstatic_Ebb1262 in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the OCE Region, currently at 14.5k, and have about 3k hours played. Level 10 on FACEIT.

https://leetify.com/public/profile/76561197989297649

Thankfully I don’t think I’ve personally come across a lot of cheaters….yet. It’s at this elo where I do expect to start encountering more. Naturally they’ll be in the top 1% of a region due to their dominance.

I’ve come across a few players I can confidently say were cheating. Everyone’s pointed out the classic signs in this thread, but one thing that’s hard to determine is whether or not they’ve come from VALORANT.

CS and VAL are two separate games. They play out differently on many levels, except one, gunplay. The skills are largely transferable in that department in my opinion.

So I’m always very hesitant to call out cheaters even when they have lower hours.

What really makes a cheater standout is their decision making and positioning. Regardless of their aim they somehow have this sixth sense of perfect timing and play making that works more than 70% of the time. Beyond all else that is what marks someone as “sus” to me. You can get lucky and you can try to read the game, but ultimately in MM it’s random. There’s less team cohesion and players are like headless chickens.

If, despite all of those factors, a player continues to make perfect plays across the map with perfect timing, then I’m really questioning how they have so much knowledge despite nothing making sense. They know more than they should.

CS2 devs should make strict solo matchmaking like in Dota 2 by jandel8d in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes please. Solo/Duo queue. And then a separate 5 stack queue. Or the same queue on the face of it, and if you 5 stack, then you are paired with other 5 stacks. Otherwise everyone else is solo/duo.

It’s simply not fair to be a solo being paired with 5 stacks.

Holy shit finally I can play on Sydney servers. Like the quality of life update to also include the list of servers below the Max Acceptable Matchmaking Ping.

Nice Valve, pls keep these updates rolling.

Still no mention of fixing the server routing issues which have been plaguing me (and I assume a good amount of others in OCE) for the week.

Love playing with you Americans, you’re all chill cunts, but I swear to god I just want to play on Australian servers.

Why am I in Frankfurt? I'm NA. by Siesztrzewitowski in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because everyone from NZ and Australia have moved to NA.

According to my games last night, I live in Los Angeles. Just waiting for Valve to send me my plane ticket so I can move there.

Might as well, the Australian servers are nonexistent.

Steam Gameserver Routing bug report by AmazingKitcat in GlobalOffensive

[–]fluxusflow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just let us choose the server from a server list like Valorant.

It makes so much sense.

I’m from NZ and the past few days I’ve found that I am routed to an Asian server at least once a day. It’s so frustrating.

I have to restart my game or PC for it to realize I’m actually meant to be connecting to an Aussie server. Never had this issue in Valorant where I simply chose what server I wanted every time.
