@Dejimon11 If it wouldn't have been, such a shame. I'm not a staffie anymore. |3
@Ferno Ayyy Ferno! I've been good! How about you? -

Lucio fans get a PRRRRROMOTION

@Nepenthe Been alright, even more of an art nerd now but I still visit here regularly even if just to haunt the statuses/ lurk a thread or two out of nonstop nostalgia.
-
-
@Ferno I know what you mean. I should haunt every now and again, maybe when the next Sonic game is released.
@Ryannumber1gamer Oh, I one-trick Lucio to the max. I let other people pick up main healer slack. I like the movement freedom he gives, as well as being a skirmisher and harasser. You wear a lot of hats on Lucio. Current goal is to hit Diamond; got to the 2900s once.

@Nepenthe I just logged in so I may be LTTP (got back from work), but cool to see you drop in for a visit! It's been such a long while.

@Milo Long time no see! It's actually heartwarming to see so many of the older folks.

I somehow clicked on early 2013 status updates just a couple hours ago while I was asleep so it took me a while to piece together I was back on the main page bc of this lmao
I'm personally in uni now tryna get a degree and experience n stuff, having a bit of issues with work but hopefully itll all blow over soon. Good to see you around and doing alright, though!
-
2013 status updates. Has it been that long? Jesus.
And good luck on Uni; trust me I know that road's tough, but you can do it! Good seeing you too as well @The Deleter

On console, her and Ana are kind of in the same area. Both can be really effective in the right hands, constantly deactivating abilities, being sneaky, EMPing at the right time etc etc, but Ana's problem is most players don't have good aim, especially in High Platinum/Diamond and in Quick Play, and Sombra doesn't have a lot of people bothering to learn her effectively. I've been using Total Mayhem to try learn her because there's more of a safety net there for screwing up, it allows me to learn good ways to flank enemies, and take down their abilities before getting out, or if they're weak, finishing them.

PC. Faster updates, a working reporting system, and better aim assist controls. Some characters are apparently nigh unplayable on console.
@Jovahexeon Ace Joranvexeon I don't have Smesh.

@Nepenthe That saddens me immensely.

@Diamond Dragon X Soldier is recommended as the starter because he's a jack-of-all-trades gateway character from traditional FPS games. If you've touched CoD, you'll know how he plays. Plus, he's got some nice abilities like sprint and area healing to give you staying power. However, feel free to try everyone in Quick Play games until you find your niche(s). You should ideally be able to play one single character in each of the four classes.
@Josh Long time no see!
-
-
Well, I main Lucio. However, I can be effective with Soldier, Pharah, Reaper, Junkrat, Winston, and Orisa. Sometimes, Lucio isn't needed or isn't working as well as I'd like him too, or I'm just dying too often. Team comps and skill levels can alter the flow of a match on the fly, so to be as effective as possible you need to be flexible. But that's the fun of Overwatch.
If you want to main only one character however, no one's going to fuss if you main a healer or a traditional tank. xD
-
-
Overwatch and a Lucio main, two good decisions at once.
I love playing Lucio myself as a main healer, he was even my first gold gun and the character I trained to comp with in terms of healing, at least at first.
But then I realised I'm on console and unless playing with friends, typically end up getting stuck with a team who don't wanna group up because as we all know, flanking on defence is the best way to handle things.
and that's the story of why I have to play Mercy on Season 6 as opposed to the funnest healer around.
But yeah, good to see you around again.
@Diamond Dragon X It's not a case of having to pick mains, but Overwatch is built on team composition and in general, trying to be flexible. Every hero is simple to pick up and have skills that transfer over to other characters, but again, it's all about hero composition. If you want to win, sometimes you have to bite the bullet and pick a character you might dislike or not play who you want to play as in order to help your team. In most cases, if your team runs 5 DPS characters, running Hanzo or Genji, or someone like that typically means your team will likely lose.

@Josh Looool, he actually was based off Ashura! I just made the black parts a darker green.
@Dejimon11 If they're doing an open hiring process, I might. Although I need to do some comic stuff. Haven't in a really long time.
@SenEDDtor Missile My hedgie is a powerless 20-year old drunkard who likes black fashion. He is absolutely perfect.

So there's an infinity War trailer out there and absolutely no one attending D23 recorded it for leaks.

Just because I constantly defend members' right to react negatively to any gaming news that comes our way doesn't mean I'm giving you carte blanche to deliberately spam negative statuses just to rile people up. Respect is mutual, yeah? Be reasonable. Don't make the forum potentially more annoying and tiring to participate in than it already is. Don't be passive-aggressive and trite to other members.
Just don't be a dick. That's really all we ask.

Tact and consideration of others even when expressing a negative opinion can go a long way in a positive sense. I cannot stress this enough. Especially on these boards.
-
-
It's honestly nothing serious. We got several reports about a small little incident, and I wanted to post this just to remind people that the ability to be cynical about a Sonic game doesn't extend to actually being a jerk about it.

What the HELL, why is the ShtH soundtrack as good as it is? Some of these melodies are awesome.
-
Yeah shadow has a good soundtrack. I think it's really overlooked because most folks who talk about the soundtrack are mostly talking about the vocal themes and westopolis
Seriously this song is good

Zavok the SpinningSilver and MegasonicZX reacted to this

All the worthwhile tracks imo:
Lost impact
Leathal highway
Digital circuit
Heavy Dog
Black Bull
Mad Matrix
Lava Shelter
Prison island
Death Ruins
Sky Troops
Cosmic Fall
Central City
The ARK
Blue Falcon
Black Comet
Gun Fortress
Final Haunt
Black Doom
System Select
Battle Menu
2p vs battle
+ whatever vocal themes you prefer
Get all those down, and you have yourself a pretty varied, enjoyable soundtrack to listen to, imo. Even for some of the grittier songs; if they're on their own like this, they don't sound half as bad as they do otherwise.

Why didn't you guys tell me that the song "The ARK' from ShtH's soundtrack referenced Final Rush?

Every time I skip to a new song on the Colors soundtrack I go "Aww, it's cute."

Girl Colors be my Sonic soundtrack right there!

Listening to the Adventure soundtracks again....
I'm crying. I miss this musical quality and variety for Sonic games so much.

Also, Shadow got the better end of the deal as far as BGMs are concerned in SA2.
-
ThePrinceOfSaiyans reacted to this
-
-
Yeah, a lot of SA2 sounded a bit generic compared to SA1. The character-centric instrumentation was a cool idea, but the tunes weren't often memorable, especially since they spam rock guitar into a lot of them anyway (I liked a lot of Eggman's as well though).
SA1 has a lot of my favourites due to the more retro style. Blue Azure World and Theme of E-102 are works of art.

I'm voting entirely strategically in the music event. Passed over songs like Tornado Scramble needs love.

So I got into the sneaker game for the first time. A brand of limited Yeezy's went up for online raffle, and I tried my hand at reserving a pair before it maxed out.
Took a massive L.
Is this what the sneaker game is like? It's so disappointing. xD
