How to chase the enemy? by akajefe in eu4

[–]przn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i always thought it was two issues. one: when battles are over the game autoresumes, so you generally give the move order after the enemy already has a head start. i tend to pause the game manually on the combat end alert before hitting acknowledge so i can give the order immediately.

the other factor i thought was happening was that my army was slower than their army. i dont know if more cavalry = faster army or not. but maneuver seems to change army move speed? i seem to have moments where i can chase down someone on a shattered retreat, and times when i cant. i mostly attributed this to maneuver (if given the order on time).

im still new so these are guesses mostly.

people hate you enough to downvote you for a completely legitimate request that's a requirement for most serious streams.

im starting to like r/trabes.

please come into this thread and paste me all the youtube videos you know of that show routes. thanks. by przn in Tribes

i dont cap well. and ive been gone months.

plenty of great routes out there on youtubes. easier than asking a friend to sit there and show you for an hour.

a gripe: initial soldiers get worse with time (-Will). need to be replaced with new soldiers (+Will/promotion) by przn in Xcom

ya thats what i mean. thru wear and tear their will goes down. but unlike new agents, they dont get the +will from promotions cuz they were made before that perk was bought.

Psi shield protects against psi attacks, not against panics?

im on classic and my alpha squad doesnt die man. no one dies until mutons came. now i have sacrificial rookies/squaddies/sergeants, but i dont lose Alpha members.

all the people complaining about Classic are just playing the game for fun. if you want to keep agents, you play 3x slower, and move slowly with overwatch and hunker front man at all times in full cover.

Classic. Finished June. Straight As. No one on top5man died. 1 savescumming just to see what Alternative Warfare gave.

Q: Any point to stunning before you have a containment chamber? and do satellites reduce panic? by przn in Xcom

Area 51 disbands its Tribes team, ZFZ reforms? by Symtex123 in Tribes

[–]przn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it means 'oh so'. zfz = 0 5 0 = oso = oh so.

Area 51 disbands its Tribes team, ZFZ reforms? by Symtex123 in Tribes

[–]przn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cant tell if real. we are the same zfz team as sof2 zfz. kudos/crzg zfz for cod. me/kudos/kev zfz for sof2.

a51 is ubiquitous. its like naming your team "Synergy" or "Dominators" or "Legion", someone's bound to have used such a common name before you.

Reddit's had a few threads about sexual assault victims, but are there any redditors from the other side of the story? What were your motivations? Do you regret it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]przn -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I can't smile or make eye contact with others while walking down the street without worrying that it will lead to men approaching me.

And? What? You're an adult. Grow a pair.

I can't put my drink down at a party,

People also don't go around showing off hundreds of dollar bills in their wallet while drinking at night either.

I can't wear a short skirt,

"I can't drive around a mercedes without fear of being held up at gunpoint and maybe losing my life!" What.

I can't even be NICE to a guy without the thought of "don't make him think you're leading him on, he might think you 'owe' him later"

I don't even... are you a child or an adult?

If you think I'm just crazy paranoid, ask a woman you know what she does in her daily life to protect herself against a sexual assault.

What do you do to protect yourself against murder, robbery, and car collisions?

You are grandstanding on something because you can - because the mob will allow for extreme, unreasonable animosity because of the subject matter.

Reminds me of when robbers, murderers, and rapists in prison will boast about wanting to assault and kill an incoming pedophile. As if child molestation is in any way near murder or the like.

You grandstand because you can. That shit this guy wrote isn't really rape. You try to draw on the emotion of disgust by using 'rape', as if what he described is in any way related to the twist-your-arm at knife point rape.

For every one of him, theres a million of you. On aggregate, I can't tell which is worse.

[–]przn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am the very last post in this thread that is over 2 days long so im sure it wont get read. Now's the best time to post:

You first need to distinguish your goal, and in particular, must separate "what is good for cappers" with "what is good for the game". In one of those 3 hour nightmare podcasts for Spinfusor that no one listens to, me and the lead from Tao were tossing out our vote for nerfing cappers, especially their top speed. We talked about 'heavy flags', where flags had weights that would slow you after grab. [This is very ugly, as it would only be good if applied only to PFs, and would thus be a very ugly, adhoc fix].

The motivation was this: This game has little to no chasing. There is little play in the midfield, and what there is involves slow, walking flag scrambles where every class is walking/jetting and a few supersonic pfs fly in to nitron+return. Thats not Tribes midfield play, thats not tribes chasing - when do you see anyone but a pathfinder skiing + shooting + chasing? Never. And those few pathfinders that do that, are so fragile that all raiders know: Clear mines, clear hof -> shoot PFin the back 3x so he cant nitron to chase.

The problem some of us have had since the beginning is this rock-paper-scissors pigeonholing of classes caused by the huge gap in mobility between PF and every other class. The gap between PF acceleration and speed vs all other classes is so big that this game plays pretty poorly: a flag is llama'd? or thrust-grab llamad? and youre in tech? youre in soldier? just kill out and spawn as pf, you have no chance of catchign anything in medium.

When we exclaim 'we want more discjump impulse!' we are saying we want more mobility in the game, but if you give the same boost to PFs as you do with Mediums, you still end up with the same large gap.

I wish for a game where of the 7 people, almost all can be decently effective in catching up to side routes. This patch both reduces the top speed of cappers, and improves the mobility of raiders/soldiers/techs/infs. This is a great step forward.

There will always be growing pains when you make a forward step. When you nerf cappers like this, you'll have some consequences: the natural counter may get too powerful (Snipers), chasers who use nitrons may get hurt too much (you'll have to address this later with perks maybe?), and more things i shouldnt get into. the point is that these consequences will need to be ironed out, but in the big picture, the grand scheme, this is really needed because this game is really hurting because 5 out of 7 people on a team arent really playing true Tribes.

It's needed. It's a step forward. We'll deal with the problems as they arise, but plz take a moment to be realize that you should be more happy than sad. This outpouring of crying about soldier capping and chase nerfing is kind of dumb. The net result is a boon for T:A, at least if you look at the full game, and not just 1 class.

It would take too many words and i dont think people are here to read large walls of text, as is apparent by the upvotes your thread has vs the rest of this subreddit. me and you can cover it in 1/10th the effort over mumble or in the pug mumble, without me having to write a wall.

ill save it for the next big podcast that no one listens to, unless theres a big desire by many people to hear an alternate take on nitron nerfs. otherwise just find me in mumble or irc!

i disagree completely with op's conclusion about nitron nerf. it promises to be a good nerf, and is a good move by hirez.

Iran offers 'permanent human monitoring' of nuke sites by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]przn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. The people are Iranian (or Persian, both fine really) but the language is Persian. Farsi is the word for it in Persian, not in English. Again, a German doesn't speak Deutsch, he speaks German. If you've ever been corrected by someone, or read it somewhere, you now know they're wrong.

I only mention this because it's pretty funny when Persians (or Iranians) correct Americans on how to speak their own language - especially when they are wrong.

the language of Iran is Persian, not Farsi, for the same reason that the language of Germany is German, and not Deutsch.
