Combined with Rivals just being really fun

People are just excited cause it's the new shiny toy

For sure, it'll take a couple of weeks for the player count to settle
Still huge number though, as it's excluding epic games and playstation

this games lets you climb pretty easily, the ratings you get in bronze or silver can get to +60 pushing you to higher ranks faster and it adjust ratings per win you get the higher you are

Is marvel rivals worth to play? Been thinking to play other games other than fps
storm mirage
def worth checking out yes

Marvel rivals made me think that league matchmaking isn't that bad after all

In last 5 games I was only healer in my team when enemy team always had 2 (and once even 3)
turbid comet
Ig I'll wait for cloak and dagger buffs

cloak and dagger def most fun to play imo, but luna snow healing just so good. only playing luna and shark in ranked

the new battle pass is epic
edgy emo skins lesgo
but 90 days? thats too long i think
90 days too for the competitive season.
thats way too long
jaunty yarrow
aint ow2 and valorant only like 2 months
i just worry that with how short marvel rivals game can be. it would feel like a grind instead of just playing it normally
turbid comet
i think most of the games turn to 2 month long seasons/bp

the leaks for upcoming characters is very exciting in my opinion

I know like, 3 of these people or something
turbid comet
I'm not into marvel and i know like 7

the Marvel v Capcom and Ultimate Alliance games had 8 of these characters in it. 10 of them have appeared in live action movies. Not even mentioning animated shows with multiple seasons.
not knowing them is fine, just saying they're quite prevalent in hollywood films and fairly-well-received videogames aside from episodic media like comics or series
north anchor
Well, I haven't played those games or watched those movies :v

damn downloaded this game. Pretty fun. Runs well at least on trial run. I heard that it ran like shit for certain hardware
13th and 14th gen problems kinda monka logging in but
not having to use frame gen pretty pog
jaunty yarrow
starting in gold 1 instead of bronze 3 made the climb easier
real halo
13th and 14th gen problems kinda monka logging in but
I'm unfamiliar with this terminology if you can explain but I imagine as long as you aren't playing super high res it's fairly enjoyable. My entire setup is fairly accommodating of settings and high frame output but I do find it can get tough enough to dip below the 200s in native 1080p without fg. Ray tracing settings no fg maybe into the 160s which concerns me but I know I shouldn't take the art style and many moving things for granted as being easy to render.
Had to screen record this split frame where I noticed it was not in english but just had to make sure. I know most people who've played international-developed games have
fierce marsh
Just problems with that Intel gen
Known for like over a year now
Because Intel chips are really inefficient and pull a lot of power
That notice just told me like to make sure I'm on the windows patch that fixed it
I think you had to undervolt initially lmao
But yeah I haven't noticed anything
real halo
Because Intel chips are really inefficient and pull a lot of power
absolutely yes. Too often I find myself messing with BIOS for them
fierce marsh
I'm on i9 14th gen so it's something I'd have to be aware of before that windows update I guess
real halo
I traded mine back in for the i7 just because of how reckless the 14900K was
the concern I had with just opening some of these apps/games
fierce marsh
I don't have much of a choice because I'm on a laptop and also amd is trash for video editing so yep no other choice
Well
Unless you're on a threadripper obviously
3d chips best for 1080p
Think the breakpoint where Intel becomes better is qhd max settings in some games and then 4k
I NEED a 7995wx pro for Minecraft dad !!!

CPU bottlenecking my GPU
Yep time to go to 4k
GPU always only at like 60% usage

I do not enjoy that solution. Too spoiled for frames now
and on a laptop of all haha
why can't it all just be easier? 
forgot to share this 2 days ago

i guess you could say it was pretty marvel
i still dont have any one lord yet
im having fun playing anyone
especially punisher with this patch

gunning down aerial characters and watching them fall
I like snowballing an Iron Man that is trying to get within 25m of my vanguard for the laser attack and then watching them plummet into melee distance
real halo
cool one. Reminds me of the Jack Kirby design, minus the gold boots.
The one thing that the first MW/warzone game got right was having a handful of challenges for any user to get free swag.
Keeps users retained too if they have cool or comic-inspired skins/emblems/titles to just do small odd-end challenges and personalise their user further
jaunty yarrow
just like any games with competitive, solo queue rank is miserable
im getting 5-12 mins queue and ill lose
i can admit that some fault of it is on me but bruh come on
and this is diamond, some people are stubborn and want to dps and wont change, some is just clueless omg

tank shredder kind of like how Venom is meant to be used (dive + bombardment + isolate matchups that don't have over-health/shield) but obviously it's easier to pick off healers in a 2v1 as Logan as long as they don't have immobility moves or an escape
boreal merlin
honestly it's more fun playing dps here than in ow2
actually harder to play tank/supp in rivals imo
orchid oriole
actually harder to play tank/supp in rivals imo
Well yeah because people rolled over the bs from ow to here
Dps still being dogshit and blaming tank and requesting heals while being in the back line of the enemy team
boreal merlin
imo it's because some tank kits are too complicated and i can't feel the heals as supp
(mains peni and warlock respectively)

unfortunately getting a error code 211 which demolishes my modem upon trying to connect to the game's servers?
I'll drop any findings or announce retirement sometime soon 😆

at least you're past gold
last dozen matches I was in demoted bigtime. 4 of them had drunken teammates playing as if they had their craniums opened for frontal lobe surgery
talking punisher/moon knight users with sub 20% accuracy and 10+ deaths by end of 1st round
real halo
like this. If our lord punisher would've been a little more accurate the game would've been ours
opposing team had much worse stats. Their supports were ulting at the same time and wasting them. They almost never got a successful ult off from anyone else but my offense had a weak link that I had to make up for. Game went to 4 rounds, final score 4-4* with the opposition winning final points to make 4-5 from the timer. I'm not blaming completely because maybe if we all did slightly better it wouldn't be as decisive.
It just sucks to be let down.

Ok but here's the thing
orchid oriole
real halo
ben grimm is just a I don't know how to tank trainer
it's actually kinda nice. Mixes magneto's teammate shield benefits, peni's knockback ult, and hulk in one package
you jump back to your healer to shield them (because the move is both a jump to a teammate that gives them a barrier) and enable retreat though defence or disrupt a diving opponent trying to claim a compromised backline
it's quite nice. It's very fundamental and takes out the extra meter charging that hulks have to do in order to leap across a point

call me a skrub or a hardstuck gold or whatever but they need to stop allowing people with the same system id from making alternate accounts
reverse boosters
doing the road to gold-plat like this
they're pests!!!
all because I wanted to enjoy qp and then play comp later. Getting kicked back down by them constantly since I didn't go to Dia-GM in season 0 to stay out the mud
orchid oriole

I been stuck on Plat 2 for the longest I dont even bother, as long as I get my skin im cool with it
My Homeboy and I were playing QP and it was domination and it was hitting overtime, our strange deadass opens a portal from the enemy spawn entrance to the obj, cant make this shit up
real halo
As of 3 hours ago I got to a career high rank after the 12 game loss streak to smurfs in that same mode.
finally putting me against people my level on main accounts (level 40+) and same or worse 1v1 skill
so yes. The hypothesis I have come to from my observations demonstrates a direct correlation of losses-into-wins. Reverse boosting should work if the evidence hasn't told any of you.
direct correlation of losses-into-wins
There is something in place that gives users matchups that are far less one-sided.
orchid oriole
players are regretting not getting the rank reset because shit people still in the ranks
Honestly it should have been a division
orchid oriole
just for the badge lol
For me is getting the rank skin and thats it
I choose peace!
Co-Op vs AI is fun for me, I can try characters and honestly don't have to care about what teammates do since I know what I'm getting myself into
real halo
After a couple hours a day of playing this game consistently, I say I got the hang of this genre of game finally. All the characters, their "kits", and how to counter them
Also hit new career high ranks. I honestly do not play the tier/rank mode often enough. Can possibly make it to GM3 if I start making that consistent instead of grinding for lord in qp for 2-3 heroes
real halo
pleased to see many of the fox movie X-Men in the casting
real halo
Chat is this team comp viable
absolutely, the Fantastic Four are already one of the best in the game for quickplay
un-ironically the Four + Thor & Loki teamup is very viable. Outside of the lack of a hitscan character. Team's major damage dealers have decently high survivability with Grimm, Mr. Richards, Thor, and the invisible shield team-up.
Johnny can light up and fend a frontline, Sue can displace + AOE major targets while Loki clones bother a multitude of positions.
on a map like Tokyo 2099's Shin-Shibuya, setting up defence on the capture zone off the bat with that team would be a nightmare to any offending team comp that doesn't use the map to it's fullest.

OW: "gee marvel rivals, how come you have 3 mercies?"
jaunty yarrow

considering that individual performance will affect the +/- amount in next season's competitive mode and the minimum level requirement to access the mode is 5 levels higher -- I should have less of an issue climbing alone and reach even higher next season

hot take: MR should cut down on the unnecessary vfx on their UI
i feel like those take up RAM and space
real halo
Perhaps, I know it needs to use well into 24gb of RAM to run smoothly
solved a lot of friends' problems by buying them more memory before the prices shot beyond acceptable range
real halo
hot take: MR should cut down on the unnecessary vfx on their UI
also, I wouldn't think that's controversial. The game can get quite difficult to run in higher res especially
it overall just needs to be an easier render and running proceedure
boreal merlin
It also does take a lotta time to load all the shaders...
real halo
a CPU/SSD/RAM speed limitation in that order. It was a good investment to go for load speed rather than raster output.
Almost never have to wait to play Rivals
but I know plenty of fairly great setups that will take minutes to get stable
