thoughts on render scaling
astral dagger
set aa to off
frank compass
Uh
Vulkan runs well
TAA 25-35 sharpness w 180 as the fps thing
works pretty well for me
and I only lose out at like long ranges with holo
and by long ranges I mean like 40m+
normal bloom
i miss the og temporal filtering
frank compass
mhmmmm
astral dagger
TAA should be off
astral dagger
whats the difference?
frank compass
Vulkan has the target fps feature
which works through the game changing your render scaling depending on your current fps

also whoever said thunt isnt good for improving aim in r6 ur so wrong
Mm710 has one of the best stock cables but a paracord will always be better due to safely reasons all cables have a special coating around them with paracord they don’t that’s why they’re so flexible and light

did you do dmg @astral dagger ?
nope
no assist for him
well
first bullet
got blocked
by deer then
as i thought
i think this is when it went out
idk
hard to tell with the recording
but it actually wasnt a headshot
this is where the 2nd bullet went
or above his head here
its hard to tell when the frames is at which it comes out
garbage low rpm guns too
this is why a 1 shot headshot mechanic
is so frustrating
but thats just siege things
yeah its pretty bs
i have 0 time to react before he gets off 7 bullets or whatever
quite a game
mini clapping cheeks
i have 0 time to react before he gets off 7 bullets or whatever
@astral dagger the thing is hes far away from the door you are close so he has perspective and has height advantage, he prob saw you first
and he has one of the best guns in the game
you can be mechanically better than him
you still lose

Generally you will find yourself playing with 1x/hip for the most part in this game so it would be a good idea to practice sensitivities around your preferred siege hip and 1x in kovaaks.

That dude grinds the cheapest content he can. He squeezes content for every last drop.

vivid jolt
Perhaps not. Enlighten me if you'd like.
I know he was a cuntbag back when he was in Pro League.
frank compass
for starters, one of his teammates on Pain(?) had a parent/grandparent (idr) die and he made jokes about it constantly according to friends of the player
which was one of the reasons he was dropped/left the team

Yeah I meant current day.
frank compass
idk much about him from the past 2 years
vivid jolt
He owns that he was a terrible person previously. So I don't count him off for that.
frank compass

maybe Im not giving benefit of the doubt
like i did for Pengu back like 2 years ago
but like some of the shit he said was just so fucking vile

is Pengu was just extremely ignorant

I don't like pengu as a person
I like him as a player
He pretty much ruined someone's career for a year
And esl and ubi didn't do anything about it
vivid jolt
That's not really Pengu's fault. Pengu can point something out but it's up to ESL to pull the trigger and make a conscious decision. It's not like they'd ban somebody because another pro wanted them to. There had to be some other factor, whether right or wrong- and probably wrong, but still the factor must've existed.
And that comes entirely down to ESL's shady doings.

thats like saying
because someone is arguing agains what he got accused of
he must have done it
lol
frank compass
what?
no it isnt
also
idk if youve noticed
but his burst fire pattern
he doesnt do anymore
astral dagger
theres a 19 page report of pros with "similar" moss files, then 4 key is standart key bind to gadget, and the vid they did demonstrating how unreliable it is
it doesnt disprove that he macro'd
but its obvious that the case was handled poorly by esl
and you cant be sure if he actually macro'd or not
frank compass
ESL also didnt release
all of the evidence
they had against shaiiko
and the only thing they said
was he macro'd
astral dagger
but his burst fire pattern
tbh i feel like this is more like looking for stuff that supports it
then an actual argument for that he couldve macro'd
frank compass
huh
the burst fire pattern
was one of the things that was constantly brought up
but whatever
this argument is pointless

None of those scens are flicks
Pasu and bounce not flicks

If you tell them that, they'll call you stupid and say "it is all flicks, it's just slower flicks"
I want to replace Bounce 180 with Leap 180 Reload.

That seems to be considered.
night radish
Or b180 reload
vivid jolt
Very likely that we're replacing CFSE Dodge with PatTarget 180 Dodge (no bodies) [yet to be made].
night radish
1w2ts reload is a better flick than 1w6t anything
I think we all can agree there yeah
vivid jolt
Still, we've established fast strafes suck for benchmarks (rng and pattern learning) even though decent tracking reactivity practice. But nobody will recommend anything for replacing CFSEI. I'm the only one who has recommended other horizontal tracking scenarios but they've been shot down.

my clip

its rediculous
its just bullshit i shouldnt be able to play gunfights like that in an fps
frank compass
no
vivid jolt
Guns like that deserve 1shs. Not all guns should not be 1shs.
vivid jolt
High damage pistols should be 1shs. Low RPM guns like the UMP should be 1shs.
Like a headshot should be a 2.5x multiplier. So if a bullet does 40 damage it's an instakill.
vivid jolt
But Ela's random spray won't instakill you. Or something. I just pulled that number out of my ass.
frank compass
accounting for damage drop off and penetration
that would fix
most of the issues with the mechanic
vivid jolt
Also reduction for wallbangs.
vivid jolt
No, if I kali you in the head you should definitely be dead no questions asked. Wall or not.
frank compass
@vivid jolt thats why i say 2.5x across board, cause walls already soak 33-50% damage
vivid jolt
The TCSG. Glaz. Deagle. Idc what dry wall says, you're dying.
It should just be reduced.
frank compass
or
vivid jolt
Famas sprays shouldn't.
frank compass
=<640 is 4x, =<760 is 2.5x, =<900 is 1.75x, >900 is 1.5x
I think that would be good
there is def some room for adjustment there
but off the top of my head those values look good
night radish
Useless argument at this point
frank compass
I mean yea @night radish
astral dagger
but you would literally have to introduce multipliers as a gunstat
which is wierd to do
frank compass
but it's nice to think abt
astral dagger
and isnt "reAliStiC"
vivid jolt
Useless argument at this point
Improvement is never useless. That's a very flawed mindset that I don't think they exhibit.
vivid jolt
They're just bad at improving the right way. They're not bad at trying to improve.
frank compass
therefore it is a pointless argument
vivid jolt
They rework ops all the time.
frank compass
well no
theyre bad at both
they dont do it correctly
and they usually wait way to long to even attempt to change things
and my main reasoning for the latter statement is that they implemented operator quarantine SPECIFICALLY to avoid another Lion
and they have not utilized it AT ALL
There have been no meaningful operator changes to new ops (that I can remember) since they implemented the quarantine in Wind Bastion
pretty sure it was Wind Bastion and not Grim Sky
and the only TTS change I can recall from pre-release was taking away Maverick smokes and giving him flash bangs
so I would say they are both bad at improving the right way and trying to improve
vivid jolt
I'll happily lead the Ubisoft Bad At Implementing Changes Train, but I don't think it's out of the question at all.
frank compass
when you say you dont think it's out of the question
are you implying you think ubisoft is or can be good at TRYING to improve the game?

Jager having such a high pickrate doesn't mean he is broken
He is necessary for the defence
frank compass
but wamai!!!!!
normal bloom
ish
astral dagger
And with them adding nades to every operator, ying buff and all that he is needed more
Wamai cant have his utility with him in places jagers can
You can't have wamai put his utility on blue stairs bank
frank compass
with all ops having nades wamai is stronger
astral dagger
For example
frank compass
because it is harder to burn his utility
I agree mini
its not EXACTLY the same
but at its core
its the same utility
it does the same job
astral dagger
Jager has 30% more utility and 30% more useability I would say
And his pickrate does not reflect that he is op in any wayv
astral dagger
Its just the meta calls and has always called for a jager
frank compass
but yea
I would agree
Wamai's main issue
is the fact his gadget is timed
while jager's is place and forget
thats the major difference that I see at least
astral dagger
Wamai should have 6 things at the start of a round
Have barbed wire and have a shield
astral dagger
If they balanced the meta changing operators there wouldnt be a problem with wamai having 6 ads like jager
Which he does have by end round anyways
astral dagger
Well give him 5 start of round
astral dagger
So would I
But a single operator can clear all of his utility
And shield as well
astral dagger
Ying, Ash, zofia
astral dagger
She can
frank compass
ying cant
zofia has 2 concussions, 2 impacts
she cant clear all his gadget + shield
astral dagger
Ah well if its end of round yes
frank compass
ying cant clear his shield
I mean rn defense has too much projectile denial
in conjuction with too much utility
that needs to be cleared with explosives
if maestro is taken down to 1 cam
and smoke has his shield removed
then its less of an issue
astral dagger
I disagree on most maps I find projectile denial is fine
astral dagger
With proper teamwork all ads can be removed easily
frank compass
but at least border has better vertical play than kafe offers

some maps arent as bad with the clearing as others
Kafe is really bad
Clubhouse is really bad
Consulate, Border, Coastline are very doable
astral dagger
I find kafe is easy to clear and club very hard to clear
frank compass
Theme Park is kinda shit and idr the last map
I find Kafe hard to clear and still have time to execute
astral dagger
I haven't played theme Park yet

If your entries are ballsy, the preplaced drones are good and vertical play fast you have time to execute just fine
But it's forced to be 40 seconds or less
On maps like club depending on the site I can be ready for execute by like 1:20
frank compass
Club its easy to set up fro execute early for 2/3 sites
cause its such a familiar map
but the problem is you need picks
for Club
to execute before 45seconds
astral dagger
If its bottom site I pretty much always rush stock hatch first bottom defence
astral dagger
And then properly clear when the team adjusts for a rush and moves until from roam to site
frank compass
SSG roam is kinda dead in NA this meta
astral dagger
No it's viable all the time unless it's a full turtle
frank compass
like most teams have just been heavy utility dumping site
astral dagger
Which isnt common
astral dagger
Maybe it's regional
