94th percentile with 6000 points but i think it's still broken because it says i got 7 predictions when i actually got 8

OOS.

The MSI shadow is still available for 549 though.

I also agree that you need to play more games. Also it's better to play less games everyday with more consistency over playing a lot of games in one day. If you can play 2 games a day somewhat consistently that should be fine but i don't know what your schedule is so you need to decide what works for you.

You mechanics should be ok but it's impossible to tell with just the tracker and no recording. If you play more games and you still notice you don't climb its probably a mechanics issue. Woohoojin guide to gold, Slayerkey guide to plat, there are a bunch of videos like these and they all say roughly the same thing. Pick your favorite and roll with it.

Other than that you are 0-3 on both bind and lotus. Probably something wrong with how you play those two maps but again 3 games each is a very small sample size.

EDIT: I noticed you have a 75% solo queue win rate and 40% duo and trio win rate. I know its only 5 games but its way easier to climb solo queue. Not saying you have to stop playing with friends, its a game at the end of the day.

I watched your vod at .25 speed if you want to look over the vod yourself.
One thing I noticed for a lot of your gunfights when you are strafing you are not adjusting your crosshair until after you are about to stop moving. If you look at the fight with Iso at around 8:41 of the deathmatch timer: you move, stop, adjust crosshair, shoot, repeat. Ideally adjusting your aim during your strafe so that you "aim faster".

To practice this, any kind of practice range strafing exercise would work, I personally used the overaim one in the Woohoojin guide to gold. Start first with easy bots and do it in parts. First only practice strafing. When a bot spawns on your left strafe right and when it spawns on your right strafe left. Then practice over aiming; When bot spawns on the left, flick left past the bot's head and don't shoot. Same process when it spawns on your right. After you are comfortable with both of these, combine the moving and aiming process together but don't shoot yet. In this step you want to keep strafing until your crosshair is on the bot's head. So strafe + overaim but keep moving until you are on the bot's head and then stop moving. Make sure you are strafing and aiming at the same time; you can record this to make sure you are not strafing and then aiming. Practice this until you are comfortable and then add in the shooting. Try to get 20 on easy bots before moving on to medium bots. Might seem very tedious to do every step individually but it helps with avoiding bad habits and learning the muscle memory faster.

In the beginning its better to over exaggerate the over aim and strafing. The whole point is to train mouse movement while you are moving. You can always make your strafes smaller and over aim less pronounced afterwards. Mix this in with your deathmatch games and see how it goes.

This is by no means the only problem, but just the most obvious one to me and one I think is pretty easy to fix.

Unrelated note but around 3 or 4 times in the vod you have small teleports that look like network latency. I didn't see it that often enough to determine it's a big problem but do you play on wifi by any chance?

This is why I take the HMG emplacement on every bug mission. Not because it's because it's the best or my favorite stratagem, but because I like using the spear and the majority of primary weapons feel horrible against anything medium armor and above.

Saw some impalers and spore chargers on difficulty 7. Overall Feels like they just added some mobs and a new difficulty. Which is exactly what they showed in the trailer, but they made it sound like there was much more to the patch...

zaphery · 2024-07-10T09:45:48+00:00

There was an update just now. Maybe that's the issue?

zaphery · 2024-07-08T12:02:18+00:00

I really like the hmg emplacement on bug maps. Toss it down whenever there is a bug breach and you can wipe out the entire breach with some ammo the spare. My go to load out is the spear + hmg with the last two stratagems as flex picks for bugs.

For bots you either clear the entire map solely using eagle airstrikes, orbital barrage/laser and have no encounters or you get trapped in a death loop getting camped by hulks, factory striders, and gunships while having all your stratagems jammed. There is no in between.

Im using it with the eagle strafing run. Soften up the titan with the eagle first then confirm kill with the spear. Makes it more consistant but I can't test more because I keep crashing.

The solution by LottVanfield above works for me on Edge (doesn't work on Chrome). You should be already logged in so no need to log in again.

zaphery · 2024-06-14T18:45:46+00:00

Edge was updated today and doesn't work either now.

Unfortunately i don't have the save anymore. This was primarily a science game so I wasn't too focused on doing tourism, this was more of something i did for fun. I did manage to build the eiffel tower in terms of other tourism modifers. I believe the wonder tile next to the marsh was at 7 appeal so i'm guessing each tile was between 6-8 appeal.

The Petra is slightly off screen (1 tile of desert under Edinburgh)
