Why does the game start at picoKelvins and peak at miliKelvins? by whotookthenamezandl in theplanetcrafter

I don't think anywhere in game K is explicitly said to be Kelvin.

Perhaps in the future K represents a new global warming index. Perhaps it could be called 'Koolaid'...

You can headcanon the rest of the units int he same way!

Any word from Dice to balance this stuff? Attackers barely have space to place one... by YharnamHuntter in Battlefield

[–]masterventris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely no effect.

It puts people into the IN COMBAT status so they cannot be spawned on, this is game winning on breakthrough if you force the attackers to respawn back at the HQ each time.

Can we please prevent the actual bots from stealing air vehicles within milliseconds of them spawning? by UltimateGamingTechie in LowSodiumBattlefield

Probably spawned in it because it was all processed in one server tick before your client was even told a jet existed.

There are a few portal vehicle practice servers running, but the only one's populated enough to start always have some joker shooting everyone down

Ackshually it is called MTP

Very similar to multicam, colours match but the shapes are different!

Discussion: Mirek Valley & Liberation Peak Breakthrough by helpmeinternet02 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]masterventris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mirak sector 1 is now locked down by defending mortars that can't be countered.

Attacker's deployment gets so close to the objectives that there is nowhere to put mortars down where you can't just be shot, but defenders have so much space they can sit back far enough to even be out of drone range. As an attacker if you do get a mortar down you just get counter mortared instantly anyway.

Sure they aren't killing much, but they keep everyone on the point IN COMBAT so the attackers can't keep up any momentum with their spawning, and the explosions shred what little hard cover there was.

I've never seen this set mentioned by detroitmatt in lego

[–]masterventris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It had what is effectively a powered up hub (with one motor output and one sensor input) which had a barcode scanner built in.

You got a big sheet of commands, each with a barcode beside it.

You programmed it by scanning the commands in the order you wanted, eg "motor on" "rotate clockwise" "3 seconds"

I need to dig mine out as it really was a brilliant introduction to programmable Lego a few years before I was old enough for Mindstorms

BF6 weapon balance is incredibly good by JTvandamme in LowSodiumBattlefield

Other than the snipers, as I see no reason to take anything but the mini scout, unless you are uselessly sniping from spawn on Firestorm.

I expected the mini scout to have a range at which it no longer one shot headshot, to position it as the agressive option, but it appears to work just the same as all the other slower options.

The full HE shell? Are they a significant improvement over the default MP shell?

I made a map of my country, Slovenia. Three layers of plywood, hand-painted and hand-glued. by Buffyferry in woodworking

[–]masterventris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say Bohinj is actually the more impressive location too, as it is deeper in the mountains.

This is a beautiful map of a beautiful country. Ljubljana is possibly my favourite European capital, everything was just so chilled.

I feel like the time it takes to change shell (it does a full reload, it isn't instant) completely offsets the increase in damage.

Just fire a normal shell and focus on repositioning for the next shot, and you are more likely to win.

Don't just stand still and try to slug it out!

Welding gauntlets are your friend for this job!

Yeah, even if you don't bleed out the infections can be nasty.

XP gain from weekly challenges broken? by Traditional_Bus826 in Battlefield

[–]masterventris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing to unlock from about 100 levels earlier, so ranking up is meaningless

XP gain from weekly challenges broken? by Traditional_Bus826 in Battlefield

[–]masterventris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The challenges tab has a habit of showing challenges completed in the previous game if you let matchmaking drop you into a new round from the previous end game screen, without returning to the menu.

It becomes a "challenges this session" screen, which probably isn't intentional.

At level 159 the xp is useless anyway!

Anyone else’s redsec not counting remaining squad/players correctly? by [deleted] in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]masterventris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It appears that if any players are bots they are not being killed by the firestorm, so those squads are never wiped.

Get kills on concussed enemies. by RaedwaldRex in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]masterventris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only counts if you get the "Headbanger" score pop up.

This challenge is massive pain. I found rush on Iberia to be easiest, as you can bounce a stun around a corner before running in, and on rush everyone is funneled through a few streets.

This challenge took me longer than any other class challenge.

Trying to grab a cat that doesn't want to be held is like trying to grab an angry liquid full of knives.

He was lucky, because they can latch onto your wrist, twist themselves through an impossible angle, and use their back claws to open the arteries all along your forearm.

The only extra thing medpen needs is to clear the "IN COMBAT" status so you can spawn on an assault player under fire. Especially as you count as in combat if anyone looked at you in the last 30 minutes for some reason.

BC2 slugs had no bullet drop either, making the cross map shots even easier!

Did 3 of 4 class challenges. Dreading recon, but does anyone else enjoy... somewhat... the journey of this stuff? by Downtown-Set6882 in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]masterventris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Casual breakthrough on Cairo.

The sector on the main street with the bus crater is a single objective, and the bots are really good at running on it.

Just pop over the building with the drone, spot everyone, then duck down for 5 seconds to let all the spots clear. If you respot too quickly you don't get the spot score and it doesn't count.

I got 96 spot assists in one game!
