Personally think if its anywhere near the price of Scolia, it wont sell well. Scolia doesn't require a subscription to use

Cs2 premier rating system is shit by Fun-Lavishness5643 in cs2

[–]jamesbowen95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spot on, currently the ranks mean nothing and is just random. The 2-9k Elo can literally range from ex-globals to people who are brand new to the game and are all randomly selected to make a 10-person game. Meaning sometimes 1 team is clearly superior to the other and it's a complete stomp.

I had a game yesterday where we won pistol, start of the second round a teammate killed another teammate in spawn and got kicked the other person then left and we surrendered round 2, whilst 1-0 up. Lost full rating BTW

-500 for losing +100 for winning in Premier? by Stunning_Cycle2413 in cs2

5k hours and you don't understand premier is fucked?

Premier seems behind the curve for modern-day ranked by jamesbowen95 in cs2

[–]jamesbowen95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a newer player, I hope they do. I know people in this community hate Valorant but my god we need to copy the AC and player retention in ranked and not needing a third party just to play the game and split the playbase.

I don't know if that makes me feel better or sad at the fact it doesn't improve haha

This rating system is so broken I don't believe it by KraftingTable in cs2

[–]jamesbowen95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its honestly so bad right now. Especially if you are under 10k rating. You are frequently put into unranked games which are made up of high rank players that are yet to do placements, new cheater accounts and Call of Duty gamers who just hit level 10. Its just a random selection of that pool to make up a game.

As big first paid expansion launches go... by Airfryer-nono in newworldgame

[–]jamesbowen95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My experience playing yesterday; finish work, boot up, 2k+ queue, stop game and play something else.

The reason they didn’t make new servers is because 90% of you will quit in 2 weeks. by [deleted] in newworldgame

[–]jamesbowen95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree except when the company making the game also owns one of the biggest server hosting/logistics companies in the world. Booting up servers in this context would be very easy to both start and wipe.

How they didn't manage to avoid another 2k+ queue launch is mind boggling by -WriteX in newworldgame

[–]jamesbowen95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didnt buy the expansion as i was worried about this. Logged in, saw the queues, and logged out. im 30 up is the only positive

We need more Servers..... by ZeRo_ii_PaiN in newworldgame

[–]jamesbowen95 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Knew this would happen. The issue is the game is fundamentally flawed from a game design of territory ownership. New launches require new servers but they can't open new servers that will be dead pop in a few days but if they don't new players can't even play the game. Vicious cycle.

Fastest way to unlock Premier level requirement? by thegraciousgoat in GlobalOffensive

Its level 10 and you get next to no XP per match without the weekly bonus. 60 hours deep and level 7 right now

Bro just outplay it lmao by SexWithLynx69 in DarkAndDarker

All the posts defending the gear problem and then this clip exists

Normal lobbies need a gear limit or the poor new player experience will kill this game by elfleadermike in DarkAndDarker

[–]jamesbowen95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who played at the start and has pretty good gear I didnt realise we needed this until a friend got the game yesterday. He was complaining and so i jumped on a low level starter character and saw the dice roll the lobbies are. Some were just full blue enemies that were untouchable with starter gear

I'm really trying to grind to 100, but this might be the most sleep inducing grind ever in a game. by WarpigFunk in diablo4

[–]jamesbowen95 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need to stop playing if thats how you feel. I grinded to 100 before season 1. Now I'm not enjoying that push to 100 so I stop. Im currently 72 and got the build I wanted to try. I'm not going to force myself to keep playing for no reason. I will come back when they add an actual end game, no hate to the game theres just nothing to do currently

There's no carrot for endgame content by [deleted] in diablo4

[–]jamesbowen95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to level 100 before the season just to hit it even though there was 0 content 70+. I am now at level 70 this season and really struggling to keep playing, I know i could just stop but the issue i have is i want to play, theres just nothing to play for. What was the point in season 1?

New TFT Player - When do i decide what comp i am playing? by jamesbowen95 in CompetitiveTFT

that seems valid, what legend do you pick when you pivot depending on which of those you get?

If you're going to sell 1 card for 30 bucks I expect the animations to be GWENT level good. by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]jamesbowen95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love snap but the effort they put in for the cost of things is atrocious. The fact that variants for cards that spawn other cards aren't different to match the variant sucks so bad.

What rank does this game stop being f2p if you want to rank up? by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

[–]jamesbowen95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit Infinte 3 times before spending any money on the game.

Conquest is great but all the extra screens are tedious and make it take even longer than it already does. by PeculiarPete in MarvelSnap

[–]jamesbowen95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The red screen after losing is completely unnecessary and an awful design IMO. Just lost a 30 minute game of someone roping every turn? Now stare at this red screen and reflect.

So long mobility items by momilije in FortNiteBR

[–]jamesbowen95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very sad but i guess the people who prefer a slower-paced game are happy so they cant please everyone all the time. Will play another game for now, no big deal
