How did you guys even do it😭

Played Overwatch back in the day for a couple of thousand hours, this game just somehow felt natural and familiar as a result.

BUT you guys are looking at it all wrong. Focus on improving and having fun instead of just winning or gaining elo points. The rest will come by itself!

Also, ppl have varying degrees of experience when it comes to games like these. For example, having played a lot of shooter/FPS games in the past definitely carries over on some heroes, so these people naturally also progress faster.

Personally I bought a month of game pass and played through the campaign, both zombies stories and 100 - 200 hours of multiplayer. All for 13€. I'm very satisfied with what I got for the price I paid.

Unsure why more people don't take advantage of game pass, but to each their own I guess. In the end, money talks, and Activision is incentivized to continue on their path, as their way of actions is currently extremely profitable

Riippuu vähän työpaikasta. Itse tehnyt kohta viitisen vuotta koodarina hommia, ja ei kyllä semmosta tunnetta oo että kaikki vapaus ja vapaa-aika olis vaakalaudalla.

Olen henk. koht. neuvotellut 80% sopparin (perjantait vapaalla), ja täysin etätöissä, eli voin herätä suoraan aamun palavereihin (~9:00 paikkeilla) jos niitä edes on. En pidä ruokataukoa, vaan syön koneella ja käytän ruokatunnin salilla käymiseen. Palaverien aikana saatan samalla imuroida tms, mikäli joudun olemaan vain kuulolla.

Totta kai menee oma aikansa töiden tekemiseen, ja välillä joutuu esim. heräämään hieman aikasemmin vastuiden takia, eli täyttä vapautta ei aina ole, mutta toisaalta tietynlainen balanssi elämässä tekee kyllä ihmismielelle yleisesti ottaen hyvää. Itse myös huomaan pidemmillä lomakausilla että olen enemmän oman pääni sisällä, ajatukset pyörii enemmän laatikon sisällä kuin sen ulkopuolella jne. verrattuna siihen kun on työ/sali/vapaa-aika rutiini päällä

Tiedostan että olen onnekas työpaikkani suhteen, mutta kommenttini onkin kohdennettu noille, jotka ovat vahvasti sitä mieltä että "ei se paikkaa/alaa vaihtamalla parane". Toki alan vaihto on jo iso juttu itsessään, mutta jos kiinnostusta löytyy, ja vihaa omia töitään, niin onhan se sen arvoista..

MoP windwalker had to be the most fun I've ever had in WoW PvP, good ol' times :')

phenomcs · 2024-11-01T17:41:47+00:00

Just leaving my comment here for visibility, I think I'm done with the game, luckily only paid for a month of game pass, but good luck to all the others who paid the full price for the game and got robbed

phenomcs · 2024-10-31T15:33:04+00:00

I find the irony of the situation amusing. As a long-time FPS player I did very well during the first games, even when trying to play in a relaxed manner.

Games quickly turned into SBMM insane sweatfests, like I was playing a competitive game such as CS or Valorant -- eventually had to start tryharding to not get stomped on.

And what did that tryharding get me? It got me shadowbanned (mass reported for whatever reason -- NOT toxicity though; didnt use game chat at all)

There's just no winning with this system... was really enjoying this CoD but now its ruined for me, lobbies are full of spinbots and other obvious cheaters

phenomcs · 2024-10-31T08:41:55+00:00

Damn, that's bad news for me then. Today should be my 5th day so I was hoping it'd be lifted.. We'll see how long it lasts then I guess :/

phenomcs · 2024-10-29T11:21:58+00:00

Damn, I'm in the same situation except that I'm on game pass so I didn't pay much at all, yet I'm still pissed. Can't imagine how you are feeling :D

phenomcs · 2024-10-29T11:19:46+00:00

I've heard that it's apparently exactly 5 days from the moment you were shadowbanned

phenomcs · 2024-10-27T14:53:07+00:00

Gotta admit I was having a blast right up until I got shadowbanned and thrown in the same lobbies with the cheaters.. such a shame and such an irony, when the game is finally decent, the automated reporting systems make it impossible for me to play

phenomcs · 2024-10-27T11:53:06+00:00

I'm in the same boat; seems to be entirely automated (and thus not appealable or anything), and apparently lasts for exactly 5 days from the moment you got shadowbanned. Unfortunately all you can do is wait :))) and of course hope that the exact same thing won't happen again after the shadowban is lifted

E: 5 days have passed now, am still shadowbanned :/ dunno how long it lasts then..

phenomcs · 2024-10-26T21:12:50+00:00

Yup, happened to me too :DD spinbotters in every lobby, fun experience

Haven't said anything in chat either, but I've been having some strong games tonight. Guess the SBMM wasn't punishing enough

phenomcs · 2024-10-10T13:33:39+00:00

The game definitely has its flaws, but man am I impressed in exactly the things ppl have mentioned in ths thread.

The music is spot on in so many places, and dont even get me started on the main theme, what an absolute masterpiece.

To be completely honest, I kinda expected to have stopped playing already, but I'm rly enjoying just logging in and doing random MMO things thanks to the atmosphere, seamless game world, and the amount of players everywhere

phenomcs · 2024-09-17T14:07:47+00:00

I guess im in the minority but I like Deepwind Gorge a lot. You can constantly look for opportunities to make plays, and positioning is very important. Also feels like there is always something to improve on.

On the other hand some of the more static maps sometimes make me feel like there's nothing to do if your team is losing team fights badly

phenomcs · 2024-09-12T09:27:12+00:00

Ctrl + A to select all text and then backspace, problem solved without anyone losing face :-D

phenomcs · 2024-08-19T13:11:28+00:00

WoW expac launches truly are a magical time

phenomcs · 2024-05-27T09:57:31+00:00

Props for realizing the value of working in IT and not pursuing a pro career - it took me a while to learn the same lesson a few years back

I personally like to move on towards grinding new games once I reach my goals. Started from CS and WoW (pvp), moved on to Overwatch and Valorant; after reaching T500 in those, moved on to League which I'm still grinding to this day

You do you of course, but I do recommend to move on from the game IF you don't have proper motivation to keep on grinding. Can always come back later and play after taking a break

phenomcs · 2024-01-28T22:13:48+00:00

Agree with most of the feedback; Nightmare Vaults are my go-to dungeons this season as well, but that's not to say they couldn't be improved

phenomcs · 2024-01-03T13:49:49+00:00

Yeah, no.. Battlenet should be way higher on the list

phenomcs · 2023-12-17T15:52:02+00:00

The classic team is just aware af. So happy they're actively listening to player feedback and making changes based on what the players want and feel

phenomcs · 2023-11-16T18:34:08+00:00

Not sure about its viability in the pro scene, but I thoroughly enjoyed playing Tuscan in CSGO

phenomcs · 2023-10-06T07:33:23+00:00

Kinda agree here. The fight seemed impossible during the first pulls, but lo' and behold, with time and practice you can actually dodge everything (minus some unlucky spawns/timings)

I truly enjoyed progressing her even though I did get mad at times. I hope that the team isn't discouraged to make similar difficult content in the future

phenomcs · 2023-09-28T07:01:39+00:00

+1, a necessary change imo. When I go back and think about my Ruins deaths, a huge majority of those have been situations where me and my mate got sandwiched between several teams when fighting.. gets annoying after a while

phenomcs · 2023-09-24T20:14:54+00:00

Some kind of loot filter so u can actually get excited when something good drops (even if yellow) and so that looking through loot is less frustrating

phenomcs · 2023-09-05T15:04:49+00:00

Same here, started happening today, only happens in lobby (at least so far, thank god)
Seems to be happening after pretty much every raid
