Maybe they only play on PS4 and can’t speak on the activity of the other servers.

Pretty new to fighting games, myself, so I’m not personally excited for Third Strike, but I’m happy for everyone who is! Very much looking forward to GGS, GBVR, and UNI2, myself. Tekken 8 and SF6 should be fun to watch, too.

It has a relatively small but dedicated player base still, and gets one or two balance patches a year. Generally pretty easy to find games in quick match, ARAM and ranked mode, but unranked draft is hard to get into (was always a less popular mode).

Game is still fun if you enjoyed it when it was more active, just don’t expect frequent updates unless Microsoft suddenly sees some massive potential for profit and funds it heavily out of nowhere for some reason.

Heh, appreciate the positivity. I don’t mean to say that, because they’re bottom 3, that means Testament can’t win. I mostly use tier lists to help recognize where I may have trouble and need to work to learn the particulars, such as for matchups. The game is very well balanced overall, despite a few small hiccups.

But yeah, my f.S is definitely my main tool for getting hits to confirm off of at range. HS is decent, but very slow and can be punished hard by any sort of disconnected hitbox, so I tend to use it predictively and as a followup more than a poke; great for juggling, though, since it hard bounces. Fireball is a staple, as well, and Arbiter is nice for checking movement (catches dashs if they start out of range).

But yeah. Mostly just need to practice actually using RCs and WAs in real matches. Practiced combos in the lab enough that more isn’t helping a ton.

Thanks for the advice!

I main Testament. Bottom 3 character, but I love their playstyle and aesthetic, so I’m in it for the long haul with them.

Big things for me right now are learning to do an RC or WA off of hit confirms.

Weekly raiding in FFXIV with friends, M+ in WoW by myself, also started back up in EVE Online again, just grinding a bit of isk to get back into the feel of things again.

For non-MMO stuff, I’ve been slowly getting through Cyberpunk 2077 and working on my all-numbered-FFs playthrough. Still playing Guilty Gear Strive, as well. God, there are too many video games to play.

Getting a little bored in 2077, the DLC patch hasn’t changed anything I had real criticisms of and the gameplay isn’t significantly better to make up for it, but I’ll try to power through and see if the DLC itself is any good.

Also a bit into FF2, and the leveling system is…strange. Definitely not a huge fan of leveling individual weapons/spells, especially on a per-action basis. But while the story seems basic so far, I’m interested enough to keep going with it.

As for Guilty Gear, I’m trying to get more consistent with my buttons, and trying to push myself to actually remember combos in matches. I’m good at neutral, I just don’t get enough from winning it to actually win enough games to progress where I’m at rank-wise (floor 8-9). So, getting more reward from winning neutral seems like the next big step on the path to improvement right now.

I remember trying to watch anime on Hulu recently. I have the sub with ads and the ads kept causing a desync in the subtitles. The ads they added kept causing problems with their player. So I just downloaded it because it was unwatchable.

The one that got me recently when I tried Linux was mouse software. I couldn’t configure my mouse buttons even close to what I have on Windows (couldn’t use modifiers like shift or control on one mouse, to start), and it just felt bad.

Great patch so far, imo. Automelee is quite possibly the best single QoL feature they’ve ever added, and Dagath has been quite a bit of fun. Still kinda feeling things out with her as far as survivability goes, but I’m starting to get the hang of it with the right mod setup. Dorrclave is also pretty sweet, though I wish it were slightly faster with some of its attacks; just annoying how long some of the animations take.

My colorblind ass:

A lot of them also adopt the dogs from the street because the dogs, too, have no home. It’s not like they’re going to a breeder and spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a dog.

Big agree. Glad I actually read through the whole thing. Looks like a decent case against Amazon. Let’s hope the FTC wins.

Was with you until your final point. Per the “Ability Modifiers” section of Attack Rolls in chapter 9, making a melee weapon attack uses Strength. The only exception to this is weapons that have finesse, which the crossbow does not. And despite this being an attack with a ranged weapon, you are using it as a melee weapon attack.

I’ll be honest, I think they needed more than just another month to smooth a lot of stuff out. Heck, we can see that just from how long it’s taken to fix the bugs they have fixed and how many more issues there still are.

They truly did pick the worst description for it possible. I’ve had a lot of fun with it, though. Pretty solid game for being in beta, and the devs seem decently in-tune with the community.

The bugs, and just generally unpolished experience, especially toward the end, definitely lowered my personal score on the game, so I can see why they were worried about them. Preeeetty shitty move to delay copies because it was so unfinished toward the end of the game.

Frenworld was a Nazi shithole, and considering the post history of the account that posted this, I think they might be a carryover from that.

Nazi punks fuck off.
