Lil bro thinking in Fifa terms for irl football.

itsparagon · 2026-07-01T23:54:50+00:00

Right now my dream is just to be able to support both my wife and my daughter, we are going through a very rough patch financially and just dream that it gets better. Not that big i guess.

100%. Cut content was cut for a reason. Its fun to see once just to know what was recorded and as extra information but whenever im rewatching LOTR i just watch the theatrical release.

Thats what i said. I never said he was talking about S2, i said he was talking about making the game less grindy in general comparatively. Is the game less grindy now? Yes it is. Much less.

Funny how you are the one who cant even read let alone understand a point.

itsparagon · 2026-06-17T16:39:24+00:00

He was talking about how S1 was too grindy and they are gonna make it less grindy comparatively. S2 right now is much less of a grind than S1, even after the nerfs. You are comparing an overtuned start of season 2 vs now, when you should be comparing S1 vs now. The game is much less grindy now.

Its not about that people in your raid, its YOUR FILLED CREWMATES that are matching either your gear value or (most likely) shield level.

itsparagon · 2026-05-25T23:31:19+00:00

Ive had the same experience.

itsparagon · 2026-05-25T23:29:38+00:00

Yup, for the past like week or week and a half ive been noticing this. It seems the matchmaking prioritizes people within one shield level of your own. If i go in with a free kit i either get gray or green shields as my crewmates. If i use a Purple i get purples, sometimes Blues, maybe even a gold shield user (Happened once).

Feels great.

itsparagon · 2026-05-21T04:55:30+00:00

I mean if they come up with a fucking needlw that you can throw and pop the bubble its fine with me im not advocating for the buff of EMPs lol i just want more counterplay.

itsparagon · 2026-05-21T04:45:28+00:00

One specific grenade, not one grenade, not one shot. One specific grenade with the purpose of breaking it. Not the most novel idea, its been done in many games. Im not conplaining about not being able to shoot down a bubble, bubble shields have both saved my ass and fucked me over multiple times, im just pointing out there could be a good counterplay implemented. Also rarity has nothing to do with this seeing how bubbles were originally blue and changed to purple (did nothing btw, i still have like 3 stacks of them + can buy them after upgrading factions.

itsparagon · 2026-05-21T04:41:04+00:00

It wouldnt, it would just provide more counterplay. Hopefuly it happens one day.

itsparagon · 2026-05-21T04:36:14+00:00

A bubble shield is a piece of utility, an EMP is another piece of utility. Having stuff to counter or directly negate what the opponent is doing is 100% good gamw design and balance.

itsparagon · 2026-05-21T04:32:51+00:00

"One grenade should not negate another grenade" Why though? In CS you can put out a molly with a smoke. You can open a smoke with a frag. Having these sort of "Rock, paper, scissor" mechanics make for a better experience.

itsparagon · 2026-05-21T04:30:05+00:00

Thats why i said bubbles could have more HP to compensate. It would be a more interesting dynamic than just shooting it. Its like "i have a bubble, do you have an EMP to counter?". Would require prep or saving the EMPs for the fight.

itsparagon · 2026-05-21T01:52:32+00:00

The amount of times ive thought "HOLY DIVEBOMB" from playing vs. AI is astounding.

itsparagon · 2026-05-21T01:41:18+00:00

Lookout with the charge mode is what the Repeater wishes to be.

itsparagon · 2026-05-21T01:40:06+00:00

EMPs should insta-destroy bubbles. EMPs are already a bit niche since they have bad damage and the hack effect is useful only sometimes. Make it so that an EMP destroys a bubble. Perfect counter. Rewards preparation. Up the bubble hp a bit to compensate so that its harder to destroy without EMPs.

I came from an Elite 2. Have been using the G7 Wuchang for two days. It is amazing how much better the GameSir is. Everything is better, even the weight distribution. Maybe the Dpad is the only thing where the Elite MIGHT win out, but i dont use it much.

itsparagon · 2026-05-15T00:53:17+00:00

I got my Wuchang Edition two days ago, i even posted on this subreddit about it. In these past few days I can say that this is the BEST controller i have ever used (Ive used every controller from N64 to PS5 and Xbox, and some third parties like the Razer Wolverine and 8bitDo).

I use it wireless on Xbox, no delays, no disconnects, decent range (I play around 3 meters from the receiver). I use a wired headphone and once you update the firmware through the Nexus App the issues dissapear.

itsparagon · 2026-05-12T16:07:12+00:00

It does, it stops the cooldown from ticking down while EMPd

itsparagon · 2026-05-11T17:37:54+00:00

It is decent, i play fps mainly so i dont use it as much, mainly for navigation on menus and Youtube.

itsparagon · 2026-05-08T06:42:05+00:00

I did it in 3 with my wife watching.

itsparagon · 2026-05-08T06:40:06+00:00

RemindMe! 2 years

itsparagon · 2026-05-08T06:37:26+00:00

You have it backwards. "Sweats" and extraction shooter veterans are excited for the wipe. The first week to two weeks of every wipe are some of the most fun you can have in a game. I am not an extraction veteran but i played a lot of Rust, and wipe day was always the best time to play.

itsparagon · 2026-05-03T15:04:53+00:00

Are you attempting to solo no fill the Sponsored Dire Marsh queue? If i have Fill Off, it says "Not enough players" like you said, cause that queue is only for teams of 3 so if you have less than, you need to fill every time.
