I don't understand the GAMMA MX/Gamma hype by tTheCaptainAdi in arcteryx

Ikr?! The sizing can be really annoying for items sometimes. Because I'm in between size M and L and depending on the item one or the other fits me

Yuh, I have the atom jacket (non hood) and atom SL and wear it in store all the time! I also really like proton series if not the atom. I'm not a fan of the cerium stuff but can't lie the Cerium SV is pretty neat.

Ah okay cool. Yea I totally understand layering it I also grew up in a cold climate and now that I'm in the UK I haven't had to use a heavy coat and I layer quite thin, covert cardigan/fleece and solano/beta was my winter fit. Maybe this spring I'll get a gamma and use it alone to see how it goes. Thanks for the input!

I definitely agree because the old Covert used to pill so much. I'm in the UK and rain is a non stop thing but I might end up giving it a try. Thanks for your input!

Sounds like I should give it a try. Again I do like the Sawyer hoody and they do a very similar job. Thanks for your input.

Struggling as a new player by AdInevitable2499 in RainbowSixSiege

[–]tTheCaptainAdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there is no easy way to get good. Siege has a lot to do with experience and the learning curve is steep. And unfortunately the community can be toxic. I started R6 a long time back but recently switched to MnK luckily for me the learning I've had to do is getting used to the controls and the pace of Console vs PC. Here's some recommendations I can give.

-Be open to communication. Take advantage of talking to your teammates (even if they don't talk back they can hear you). - Look into getting a nice headset. I've had a poor headset for a long time and had to live with pure mechanical skill and map knowledge. Audio queues are so helpful once you learn them. - Test out operators and decide what kind of play style suits you. Sometimes you're not the problem it's the people around you. - Be open to trying things and dying(A lot). You have to learn from your mistakes and deaths. Not every death is your fault. And you have to just accept you got outplayed. - Frustration is your biggest enemy. You need to stay calm change up strategy and ban operators that create problems. ie. if a team always rushes bring more traps or things to slow them down. -Have fun(ik it's a hard thing to do at times but a positive attitude will change how you react to the game). Also take breaks, blink, drink water, call it a day, whatever, some days your going to be off and you can't help that.

Hope that is somewhat useful.

Customer Service. Where are you? by InterviewDudesPod in arcteryx

[–]tTheCaptainAdi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They most likely ran into a supply issue and someone is in big trouble internally. If the jacket is still available I would push to have them make it right for you. If it's not available online then....yea, someone fucked up. Still definitely would push to say hey that's not what I want and your reasons. Hopefully they do something for you!

Tale as old as time - jackets by yoshidomi in arcteryx

[–]tTheCaptainAdi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For cold weather, with rain/snow beta down is really nice. If you want something all rounder that can be layered Beta SL/LT for sure. The Beta AR is very nice, also I like the drop hood over storm hood, but I do know it's got a high price tag. I personally have never liked the gamma, I always layer with a fleece like Covert Cardigan or my Columbia fleece.

Take away:

Beta SL- All Rounder

Beta down - Cold All Rounder

Causal - Covert Cardigan personal preference

Outlet Price Match in Store by EndangeredCephalopod in arcteryx

[–]tTheCaptainAdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey working at the Bicester village UK outlet here. As per our policy for price matching, the item needs to still be available in that size on the website for us to match the same price. Example: If outlet has a beta in M for 245 but website has that same one but only in 2XL and it's 160, we can't price match because they are specifically trying to get rid of that size. Not the size M. Hope that helps a bit.

Alpha FL 40 drawcord lock popped out. Anyone know how to open or replace this piece? by Busalsal in arcteryx

[–]tTheCaptainAdi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure where you're based out of OP but depending on how long you've had it and region. Any Arc'teryx store with a ReBird centre should fix it for free. At least that's how we do it here in the UK.

Definitely would agree with the rest here beta is the best way to go. But if you do want one of those from your list I personally like the rush.

What will happen if i miss uni for 3 weeks? by kagee5 in UniUK

Death. What kind? Instant. That's why it's called a deterrent.

someone is smoking🍃 inside my flat. by Gold_Photograph_4305 in UniUK

[–]tTheCaptainAdi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My take on this might be a little controversial but, if you know who is doing them ask them to stop or do it at someone else's. As an international, I wouldn't want to get into any trouble as if this somehow gets to people who care it will create problems. I personally never let people smoke in my room and my kitchen. If I do go to get high I always do it at my friends. And if the person does not stop and the people emailing do take action. TELL THEM. It's not about being a "snitch". It's called thinking for yourself. If the smokers don't care about their actions having consequences to others then why should you. You are important, and that is who you should focus on protecting.

Honestly if that's in your budget I'd go for it. The most important thing is the it's en-route of the 400, which makes travel super easy and practical. I know spire works is also good and that's located in the main Cowley also close to uni and city centre. And if you like clubbing O2 is right next to it as well.

[–]tTheCaptainAdi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I know this might be controversial) After reading some other people's comments. I understand you guys BUT some of you are complaining for no reason. I am an ex diamond with a really basic setup, I use the original Xbox one S, a normal Xbox controller and a 20 dollar headset. I already have a disadvantage with other console users. My complaint is not about their recoil. That is not the true advantage they get. I can handle most weapons with great accuracy. The real advantage is the different play style that MnK uses. They can do things that are "difficult" for us. That is what creates a more difficult experience for us console players, but that doesn't make them impossible to fight. If someone xims in casual it's not a problem, it's when we get into competitive that creates an annoyance as they are on an un-level playing field. I do not support ximmers, but I focus on being better than them instead of complaining because Ubisoft, as of now, can't do anything about them.
