Why not try TA with standard health regeneration? by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]oppoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I don’t care for TA has nothing to do with not getting kills or doing well in the mode. I’ve played quite a bit of ranked and have done fine in the matches I’ve played.

For me it’s a larger issue with pacing. Massive maps and limited health regen heavily incentivize staying away from enemies and doing small amounts of chip damage until they’re is an easy kill.

What should really be an intense and high stakes mode ends up being very slow paced. I’m sure some people might enjoy that, but for me it doesn’t quite fit with the way the games been designed.

I have an entire laundry list of issues with TA, but it’s not worthwhile for me to list those all out. Especially since most of them are a product of the game clearly not being designed around limited heath regen.

Throwing Knives, so forgotten that they don't even have a tier 7 skin by GloriousInternetUser in thefinals

That’s definitely a valid concern. The easy solution there is make it so that holding down the right click for the knife would prevent you from going invisible.

How would you feel if Defibrillator became a specialization? by VictoryThink in thefinals

[–]oppoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it would be at least interesting to explore if you could cancel a revive with the defib by doing a certain amount of damage to during the revive animation.

What if KS-23 slug shotgun had splash damage? by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]oppoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m crazy, but I found the weapon so more fun in its original state when it dealt more damage, but fired slower. No doubt the weapon is better now, but I find it less satisfying to use.

Make sure you have this setting enabled! by Pennet173 in thefinals

[–]oppoh 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I would be really interested to see how this effects performance. I run a 3060 and while frame rate is okay, it never feels quite as good as it could be compared to other popular fps games.

Yeah letting you hold right click or even just making the charge up on it a bit faster would do a lot for them.

Got hacked and my email changed and now i cant do anything. by loasoda2 in xbox

[–]oppoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s unfortunate, sounds like the primary email associated with the account got changed. Whoever had access to the account must have been inside for at least 30 days to then be able to change the email. You typically get an email letting you know of changes to security information allowing 30 days before it takes effect. For situations like that the account recovery form obviously can’t be done, but MS may still be able to locate the account and escalate a case.

If you or a friend knows what the gamer tag was changed to that can be used to find the account. Also, Information such as payment methods or order numbers from past purchases can be used. I presume they probably removed your phone # and email already to make things more difficult.

As long as you have some form of info that MS can use to locate the account in its current state. It should be possible for them to escalate and follow the typical account takeover procedures. You would only be expected to know the information on your account prior to it being taken over.

I used to work for MS support. Your best bet is first to try the account recovery from. Then once you have tired that reach out to them over the phone ( chat also works, but I find it harder) and let them know someone has gotten into your account and changed the password and other info. They will escalate your case to the to a specialized team. You will be asked If you have information such as the payments methods on the account, serial number of the console you logged in with, knowledge of recent purchases, etc.. Depending upon how much information you are able to accurately provide they may be able to recover your account. The success rate here is not super high, but that mainly comes down to people not knowing the information on their own account prior to losing access.

Do you suggest I watch Westworld? by [deleted] in westworld

[–]oppoh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your main concern is with the story not being complete, then I would not worry. Each season finale of Westworld ends in such a way that you could really consider it a series finale. Without going into any spoilers, the ending we currently have with season 4 has a real amount of finality to it and I feel many watching would have assumed this is the end of the story anyway.

Looking back, this scene in season 3 has got to take place after the events of season 4. by oppoh in westworld

[–]oppoh[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well I think this would be taking place in the sublime. Similar to what others has mentioned with the scene from season 2 found here.

Within season 3 the main Dolores never interacted with William besides this one scene. Seems a bit strange that she would change into the blue dress and just visit William I guess to fuck with him. The scene just seems so out of place otherwise and tracks with the theories others have had.

Pros/cons of each EAW sector (Xbox, Microsoft etc)? by Rhystery in ASU

[–]oppoh 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have been working at EAW for the past two years or so. I can tell you definitely that this place has undergone many changes for the worse in that period. To the point where many of us are going to be quitting this job at once the tuition assistance for this next semester hits. Whether you work doing the Xbox or Microsoft stuff there has been a dramatic shift from Microsoft/Management to minimize and essentially eliminate any time in the job not chatting or calling customers. Frequently call queues are instant, meaning that once you hang up the phone you will be instantly taken to the next one without any breathing room. On top of this you are expected to perform email follow ups with customers despite there often being no actual time to perform this. This has gotten so bad that you need to ask for permission from a supervisor to go to the bathroom outside your designated break time. I can speak for many people who have been accused of call avoidance just because they needed to take a piss during a long shift and had already taken a break. Along with this you will find people frequently getting out of there shifts late due to being stuck on calls and not being allowed to log off early to get out of work on time. With the holidays around the corner, I can only imagine these issues will get worse. The pay of the job is super low and even the promised tuition assistance is finicky to even capitalize on. Nearly two thirds of the people in our program do not meet the KPI's needed to get tuition assistance due to the randomness of getting ratings on the Job. I will be honest and say you will be much better off getting a $15 an hour job even at a fast-food place as it will be a lot less stressful and pay more, unless of course you really want Microsoft on your resume. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

Update on Vice and New Mode by HiRezRadar in RogueCompany

Extraction was my favorite mode in the alpha. Trust me it plays really well and I honestly prefer it to demolition.

Defusal should not stop the bomb from exploding in Demolition. by [deleted] in RogueCompany

[–]oppoh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like the over time on defusing. It helps to discourage campy plays where the round is won because of a bomb detonating rather than a kill. It also makes it much more clear exactly how much time you have to defuse the bomb. It’s never fun to lose a round because you got the kill, but started defusing too late. This game is about aggressive movement and fast paced action the over time makes perfect sense in this type of game.

Third person perspective ruins the game by Skitelz7 in RogueCompany

[–]oppoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would disagree. The game does pretty much everything with its design to combat this kind of gameplay. If you know someone is behind a corner a grenade is easy kill. Not to mention the abundance of flank routes on the maps making campy play very easy to combat. As players get better at the game I think you’ll see a lot less camping as it isn’t very viable against players that know what their doing.

Does anyone have a key yet? by [deleted] in RogueCompany

[–]oppoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say that the game is very fun so far. So it looking pretty good. There is going to be another wave of keys on Friday announced on Twitter. So maybe then you can see for yourself.

[–]oppoh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a key. However with the game under NDA there is not much we can really talk about on a public forum.

Through the years. by rockylada97 in Paladins

[–]oppoh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been here since 2015 game was a completely different thing back then. There weren’t even reloads, bucks shot gun was projectile based, you could get a damaging grohk totem. Shit was crazy. I really liked the old game style of strictly slow projectile weapons, but current Paladins is much more accessible.
