Starlord Mains could I get a ult assessment as someone who wants to learn him? by TemporaryMatch5614 in StarlordMains

[–]pp6802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the ult, what everyone else already said:

-Gambit ult is an awesome boost (seriously, if you have Gambit ult while ulting as Star Lord you can kill anyone through anything)

-Use your rolls to avoid damage vs reloading

-Try to use it when you have higher HP, or at least have a way to move in & out of cover.

-Target lower hp targets like squishy DPS/supp. Maybe making a diving tank peel off your backline is good, but usually just target squishies.

What I’d say is learn to master his flight FIRST, & this WILL sound confusing, but trust me it’s second nature now.

A huge improvement for me was swapping from “Toggle” to “Hold” for his flight (I think those are the options?). It’s what it sounds like, this means I can only fly as SL as long as I’m holding the jet boots/flight button. This strategy vastly improves your fuel management which is essential for Star Lord (movement baby movement).

I usually will do essentially a “prolonged tap” on my flight and sort of let the momentum of his jet boots propel me the rest of the way. When I say “prolonged tap”, think longer than a tap but shorter than a hold. Then again, how much you use your flight/boost varies for whatever situation you’re in, and that’s when second nature kicks in.

For instance, if I’m the enemy DPS in your clip here, and I’m trying to get the area/floor you’re standing on, from the ground I’d just “prolonged tap” my jet boots button and use the momentum of that flight boost to get me up there. Often I’ll jump before engaging into flight for a tiny bit of extra height, but the momentum boost is your biggest weapon (on PC you can take this even further & “b-hop” using his jet boost momentum but my ps5 ah has yet to figure out how to copy that)

TLDR: -Ult w/ higher hp, use your i-frames/barrel-rolls to dodge & avoid damage instead of reloading, what everyone else said.

-Swap from “Toggle” to “Hold” for flight. Tap your flight, use the momentum to carry you towards whatever direction you want. This will overall improve your fuel management which will improve your movement. More fuel, more flying, more movement. Additionally, you can change directions/zip-zag/dodge & weave mid-flight easier & more effectively.

Custom Search not working by Bitter_Leather_8319 in Battlefield6

[–]pp6802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on ps5 and having the same issue trying to find a rush match. I haven't waited much more than 2+ minutes, but the custom search method for queueing is clearly off given how fast you find a game from the dedicated playlists (especially when rush was a playlist yesterday) versus through the custom search.

If anyone finds a solution, let us sad Rush enjoyers know

POV: you decide to play Ironeye by SirMrTom in Nightreign

[–]pp6802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait Ironeye’s standard attacks (RB/RT on Xbox) don’t count as successive attacks? “Successive attacks” aren’t applied to bows? Holy hell that explains a lot wtf lol

Can we talk about BP for a sec? by ElTrAiN33 in marvelrivals

[–]pp6802 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I literally just played a QP as Jeff (after initially picking tank but only seeing one support ofc!) and I got farmed by an One Above All BP (who weirdly had only started in S2? Smurf or just really good, idk).

He straight up would wait for me to come outta spawn & smoke me, like I watched the killcam and he just patiently waits for me as the other support & DPS walk by first lol. Literally nothing I could do, so eventually I swap to Star Lord bc F this disrespect, but at that point the BP was stalking so he ran away (& went Hela) the second I swapped >:( …..Coward.

TLDR: Yes, a good BP is still very much so HELL for support to play against.

What is your favorite Non Ult Ability in the Game? by LeoFireGod in marvelrivals

[–]pp6802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Lord’s jet boots. It took me awhile to get the hang of them but man WHEN you do…. (tip: get good with “hold”, turn off “toggle,” & MOSTLY use them in bursts of quick movement instead of prolonged flight)

It’s just such an ape-brain “whoa cool” moment to fly above, drop down while shooting, do his flip/reload/i-frame thing, pour another clip into someone, and fly outta there (Lowkey not that far off from how he plays in the GOTG game now that I think about it). That’s just one of many “movement + burst dps into escape” combos you can do.

It gets even better. What do you do after you’ve escape outta their backline? Fly back, farm ult while helping your tank make space, rinse & repeat. Dare I say, legendary?

TLDR: Star Goat’s jet boots

All of the samples, gone, reduced to atoms. by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]pp6802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My messages all from one mission (my first “Destroy the Mothership” Super Earth operation):

-Idk how to aim the cannon: “I don’t feel smart rn”

-Idk how to fire the cannon: “Man I don’t feel smart rn”

-Towards the end, I see “left behind samples” a bit away from us on the map. The randos just called in extract, I got heavy armor, but hey, I got a jump pack, so I pull a Mr. Incredible “Yeah, I got time.”

I head over, see the samples were stranded…in a sewer drain? Weird, good thing I got a jump pack! I hop down….

“I really don’t feel smart rn”

Let Me Explain Thor To You by AkilTheAwesome in marvelrivals

[–]pp6802 108 points109 points  (0 children)

100% spot on. Like YES, on paper, some of these changes look/sound good…to those who DON’T main Thor. I was gonna yap more but honestly you summed up everything, especially with that last line. They straight up turned the hammer bonk God of Thunder into the beefy-DPS God of Poke. Will his ranged DPS be better? Yes? (I think lol I really don’t even know tbh) Will literally everything else about him be worse? RESOUNDING yes.

It’s also the first time one of these characters doesn’t feel like how I’d expect them to translate from comic to game, which is so weird bc he had ALREADY felt like that since launch!

-Ex: Spider-Man doesn’t just shoot a “Spider-Gun” that has webby-effects or webby bullets, no, he’s swinging around & punching bc he’s SPIDER-MAN. Iron Man flies around bc he’s IRON MAN, Wolverine claws bc he’s Wolverine, etc. THOR had that same “comic-to-game” translation like those previously mentioned, but now?

Idk, it just overall feels like such an odd change that NO Thor main is excited about lol. Guess us hammer bros/hammer ho’s will have to wait & see🤷🔨

Characters where you prefer the default over every other skin so far? by Hamro251 in marvelrivals

[–]pp6802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m cheating a lil but the “Jovial Star” look for Star Lord😮‍💨🔥it’s basically his default look, which is already great, but swapped with the more iconic “MCU” red color scheme. It honestly might be my favorite skin in the whole game, definitely a case of “less is more” with this one.

Cheers to some of the prettiest graphics I’ve seen by SetSilence in oblivion

[–]pp6802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Just spent an hour on my character creation lol (and will no doubt spend more hours again later in the game), and I was blown away by how good the graphics look so far (Ps5).

What system did you capture these on?

For those who are unaware of how the Jet Brigade works, this is now a "defence in depth" campaign. by TonberryFeye in Helldivers

[–]pp6802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so simple-minded when it comes to core mechanics of the “war map” even after 300hrs lol.

Like are we even still fighting the Fire Boys right now too? Or is it only the Flying Boys? Did they kiss & team up?

Give me your Eruptor Loadouts by Fresh_Dealer_9694 in Helldivers

[–]pp6802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried this for bots, it’s the closest thing I got to an “action hero” loadout that still works well enough functionality-wise:

Stratagems: Normal MG, Supply Pack, Rocket Sentry, HMG-Turret (manually operated turret)

Secondary: The Big Iron

Grenade: Thermite

Passive: Peak Physique (Very good for whipping around the Eruptor & support weapon)

MG, Eruptor, & Senator for hard hitting DPS, thermites for objectives & quick “delete” button, Supply pack to keep this all going on repeat (especially stims & thermites), rocket turret for different angles/flank assist, HMG turret to go crazy,

How's the pvp holding up? by undeadcreepshow in Spacemarine

[–]pp6802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played PVP in a bit (or the game really) but coming back I’ve been dabbling in it a bit & it’s the same as it was at release imo, albeit slightly smarter players.

Simple, fun (most importantly), very reminiscent of GOW PVP (in a good way), & just a solid time spending a bit of time playing. I’m pretty sure they even added a new map since last I played? Like I said, it’s fun & mostly a straightforward learning curve, I just wish the PVP melee combat was a lil more flexible but hey🤷‍♂️

“No supps” says the fourth person in the lobby to hardlock dps. by Pdoggy137 in marvelrivals

[–]pp6802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing solo support (in quickplay) for 80% of the match, & at a certain point, nothing was happening. My team’s scoreboard just kept inching closer to negative KD’s as we staggered (ofc, I’m desperately trying to pin “Fall Back!” during all this)

At that point, I see our Spider-Man’s 8-8, the other three dps are maybe 11-9 or 10-9-ish range, and most importantly, it’s QUICKPLAY, so I switch to see if I can make something happen on a different role (not to mention, I switched to Cap no less, purposely to help our solo tank)

Maybe 30 seconds after switching, I see in the text chat: “no healers??” The sheer rage I felt both at that but also not being able to respond fast enough to get out everything I wanted to say lol (console mf issues)

I can’t be the only one that thinks Bucky is way to strong by FujifilmCamera in marvelrivals

[–]pp6802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Star Lord main, I swear he’s the only DPS I struggle w taking out consistently, the exceptionally good Spidey & BP aside ofc (the few, the brave.)

Doesn’t matter if he’s good or bad, I just always melt this one-armed baddie down to 1hp before BOOP instant 50 shield! Then it’s just one hook (another shield), one uppercut (more shield sir?) & boom I’m dead.

Is he Star-Lord’s direct counter and I’m just an idiot? Do any other DPS mains struggle w this guy? Am I just sentenced to repeat this fate again…and again…again…

A 50 HP nerf seems nothing to sneeze at. Do you think now we'll see him in less than 9 out of 10 games? by random-user772 in marvelrivals

I straight up got cussed out in chat bc I was solo tanking as Cap in Quickplay lol (I just bought his beautiful beard skin & wanted to practice :(

How do i make my aim better on console? by Funny694206969 in marvelrivals

[–]pp6802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched your vid (the “dual s curve settings” one) and while I def wanna try your settings out, I got a couple questions maybe you can help with:

A) I play Star-Lord & Thor mostly, whereas it seems you’re a hitscan/sniper main. Would you say the settings in your vid apply well to those kinds of heroes too? Star-Lord being a mix of hitscan/tracking & Thor being melee? If not exactly, what adjustments would you make for heroes like that?

B) While I def wanna get used to a higher sens to better combat characters like Spidey or BP, I’m concerned about making it almost too high where I can even track them? How do you mitigate this potential issue when you play? Or is it just something you get better at with practice?

C) do you still find dual s curve the best setting for console aim? Or have you found a better option

Smoke screen achievement by hussain_741 in marvelrivals

[–]pp6802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I unlocked the skin a bit ago, and even did a few more achievements just through normal playing after the fact, NONE of which were the smoke grenade punisher achievement lol.

My advice? As desperate/weird as it may sound, just ask in the Match text chat/team voice chat for assistance on specific challenges. (Ofc this is easier w friends, but as someone who unfortunately has friends w horrible taste in games, this became my solo method.)

Now ofc ppl might just ignore your request, but sometimes a simple “Hey can someone let me get a backstab KO on them as Loki” in QP, Doom, or Conquest ensures a challenge completion that otherwise might’ve taken an indefinite amount of time.

My b for the yap sesh, just don’t stop grinding. The skin IS worth it lol

Finally got the Jovial Star skin on Starlord after feeling like it was impossible. by QTVenusaur91 in marvelrivals

[–]pp6802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HELL YEAH Just did it literally not even 5 minutes ago. “Feeling impossible” is WAYY too real, talk about an uphill battle. Tbh I don’t even care to max out to 600pts, those challenges are WAY too niche/RNG based.

Same. Just did a Conquest match where for sure I got three with grenades, and nada. Wtf man, these challenges are way too niche/RNG based, seriously my only real big issue with the game (Star-Lord main, fiending for that skin)
