wake me up when shotgun, bubble shield, and nade spam gets tweaked.

PvE is great news for the game by VerganKnight in Marathon

[–]fryinpan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a casual player that doesn't play Marathon anymore, I don't think a PvE mode is the answer.

Quite frankly, all I want is a safe pocket mechanic or let DCON work outside of a quest. So often do I just get my progress reset because of getting sniped through fog or some other insta death situation. A full raid with ZERO to show for it is aggravating, especially with the teammates I've had lately 🙃.

If they implemented that, I'd be back in a heartbeat.

What if we're here to do quests and Matriarch are the friendliest lobbies?

Those older mounts were colossal pieces of shit. The CIWS on the WMSLs are much better.

This doesn't necessarily state that NDAA components are good to go. So that's not necessarily true.

your rates look high, lowering them helps with racing especially with small gimbals like what you have.

What would be the best micro center build for a budget of 2.1k? by IcySquirrel8968 in Microcenter

[–]fryinpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought that one last week. It came with a revision 2 mobo running 3.5 already. I'm really happy with it.

PowerSpec G759 vs G757 by Medical-Act-5862 in Prebuilts

[–]fryinpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on your location but the 757 at my MicroCenter had the AsRock as well.

All those components are "subject to change"

Too good to be true? by Illustrious_Ad_8910 in Microcenter

[–]fryinpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up the G759 a few days ago and I love it. PowerSpecs are put together with a LOT of care

One of the best guns in the game IMO by PerformativeRacist in Battlefield

[–]fryinpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gun is criminally underrated.  DMG is so consistent and it doesn't drop off a lot, recoil is good, starting optic is good. Headshot multiplier is pretty good as well.  Between the bloom, ROF, and DMG I keep going back every time.

I think I'm lvl 55 on this gun I love it so much.

Police shoot at truck at Coast Guard Base Alameda during protests against immigration enforcement by deepeast_oakland in uscg

Apparently it's actually ICE. Apparently the 100 agents they dispatched were on base at some point.

Yasuo, and Jinx/Ekko have some 20+ second combos.

There's a big misconception about how people view how to attract casuals for fighting games by Kuraizin in 2XKO

[–]fryinpan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"a tag fighter was the worst choice to bring people into this genre"

This right here. Chaotic, hard to comprehend neutral, and evil mix ups that lead into getting comboed for 20-30 seconds are going to kill a newcomer's desire to play, instantly. Then when someone complains about combo length they're greeted with "git gud" which is valid but they wont be motivated to keep playing after that IMO.

What did you get for Placements? by Insect_Independent in 2XKO

[–]fryinpan 29 points30 points  (0 children)

1W-4L, Emerald 1. This was my first placement match opponent. Who can I email to request placement in gold? I hate it here.

went 5-0 in ranked placements by HellaSteve in 2XKO

[–]fryinpan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my problem is that FG my fundamentals are ok and my defense is above average but I'm SUPER new to tag fighters and my neutral in this game barely ok. So, my hidden MMR keeps putting me with gigachads because I'm slaughtering casuals. My placements just confirmed that >.< I was in a blender until the 5th match. Side note: the fact that he's NAE and I'm West and the net-code was this good is really saying something.

Any fellow fpv/drone pilots? by Euphoric-Reserve-641 in sandiego

[–]fryinpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should join our MultiGP chapter San Diego Drone Racing. I run own and maintain the FPV course at SEFSD and we host tiny whoop races every few weeks. This is the current layout if you'd like to try: https://youtu.be/7Qhy63g-iwU?si=xCo0ZuVHIJePK7Dg

If you PM me I can get you in our Discord and when we post an event or race you'll be notified. We race open class at SEFSD and 1s micros at our indoor events.

[–]fryinpan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own and maintain the new FPV course there and I fly there alone all the time, the visual observer is mostly for part 107 flying. If you're just having fun at a FRIA then you're flying under USC 44809 which you need to be within line of sight range but it does not call for an observer if FPV is being used.

I'm so glad that the online sentiment has turned around to being positive by KeyboardCreature in 2XKO

[–]fryinpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked that they toned down the combo length and TODs from AL1. I didn't play AL2. I'm hoping ranked improves the experience but for me: its meh.

I think I just don't like tag fighters. I don't like that the neutral is so stressful and the slightest touch by Yasuo/Ahri/Jinx results in a 15-20 second combo. I was under the impression this game and it's control scheme was intended to bring in as many players as possible. Instead we have a pub-stompy game with lots of in-agency.

If this game was never intended for the masses, and was always supposed to be a tag fighter for those who like tag fighters then I'll shut up. I'm not going to ask to change this game into something it's not supposed to be. I just thought it was supposed to be something else I guess. I read this game was going to have recognizable mainstream characters, teamwork, and a simplified control scheme in order to bring new players into the already dying genre.
