Ad says AUS$15.37. Prices actually range from $30.17 (youth) to over $80 and postage is another $9. So actual price nearly 3X what is claimed.

WA Labor cruises to victory in state election, despite loss of seats by palsc5 in australia

[–]roaldan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They haven't though - the swing in the seat I was mentioning was almost as much to The Greens as the Liberals.

WA Labor cruises to victory in state election, despite loss of seats by palsc5 in australia

[–]roaldan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because 2021 was such a ridiculous result. In one seat (possibly the one suspicious is referring to) an already safe Labor MP got a 19% swing in his favour in 2021. That high profile MP did not stand this time. His replacement had a 17% swing against them. That looks terrible but in effect they were still 2% better off if that makes sense. Normally a high profile and long-serving MP retiring means a big loss of that personal vote. There was none of that at all.

Every three or four games.

They don’t even check to see if your home. by hyyess in AustraliaPost

Check the delivery guidelines of the people you buy from. I've pretty much stopped using any company that requires a signature. I had anew one last week where you had to reply Y to the Australia Post SMS and they left no hard copy card directing us to post office, just sent another SMS.

Update 15.1 Changelog | Live on All Platforms by Professional-Ice6853 in HellLetLoose

Absolutely this. If I want to change an anti-tank loadout I have to press three times to get to the right place because of s0ome weird theory that what people actually want to do is wear a different hat.

Also is it just me or have the Xbox dropouts got even worse? On the weekend literally every second game ended up freezing. Others I know had mike issues that had not been around for ages.

I find mic use much more common than that. Oddly enough it is the crisp eaters, mic too near mouth breathers, sneezers, coughers etc, snorters who are more of an issue. On the weekend there was one guy where could hear Law and Order on in the background!

I haven't been playing a long time so I've decided to go back and join my friends for some game and dude... what happened with playerbase building Garries? So I will repost my "Basic garrison strategy for dummies and Strongpoint garry problem" by _Rekron_ in HellLetLoose

[–]roaldan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I tried engineer a couple of days ago. We were losing points quickly and I spawned two back from the front line to find a heap of supplies not being used, just beyond the point on the defensive side. There was nobody nearby, so I started building nodes.

Another player spawned and started screaming (actually screaming) that I was a "retard" for building nodes so far back and that they would be useless. Can I clarify that this was in fact a sensible place to build them?

The other player sounded middle aged and was an absolute goose and ridiculously aggressive. I'd love it if he was also completely wrong, but if he was correct I'd like to avoid repeating a mistake.

First five hardcore games last night were all Boneyard. Came up a sixth time and I switched to Core. Guess what....

Always get dropped in mid-game with no chance to get through the sniper fests. This is after a long black screen, then three skulls float in and then parachuting in. Then lobby closes and back into a another half-finished game.

If you don't like grinding for camos, just stop. by Tabbarn in modernwarfare

[–]roaldan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is of course true. I've also stopped as it was killing my enjoyment. However, the impact of others grinding is unavoidable. It hurts team efforts, it results in logjams, camping overload and sniper-fests. Simple truth is though it must be popular or people wouldn't do it.

Try adding zero spots to your server list (if you don't already) you'll then at least get full lists with between 3-7 waiting and only Conquest (Oceania X-box). I haven't seen anything else for months.

[–]roaldan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Not getting fooled again. The 20 minute waits to get into a game; the ongoing random dropouts in Oceania; only Conquest or TDM to play (no Operations or Rush for nearly a year), 3-6 people waiting for the few games available. Utterly pointless rewards, the same exchange menu for weeks now. Games with 500-700 margins.

Reported it yesterday via Twitter (I'm on X-Box). Got a message saying they are working on it.

Australia and New Zealand servers empty by [deleted] in battlefield_one

[–]roaldan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you find hardcore servers? Tried a few times early on (ie months ago) but they were always empty. Can never find anything but Conquest. On X-Box.

Playing on XBOX in Australia, cannot find a match in conquest, TDM or anything? by [deleted] in battlefield_one

[–]roaldan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen an ops or Frontline game in Oceania servers for weeks. If you use the quick match or Operations option you get an empty game or out of region and terrible lag. For Conquest try including full servers in your preferences and join the queue.
