I carried the SAW for 2 years when I was in the USMC. Jams all the time, heavy and really not that great from my experience with it but it's awesome in PR!  

I play my own character that I made I don't know who he was before that 

Ya I just priced the components and came up with like 600 or so. I know I can at least sell the vid card. 

This is my current set up that I'll try to sell after I get the power supply fixed what do you think it's worth?

No, no more carbonite but aint shit on this thing anyway everything I need is on the cloud. This just for gaming  

ya and replacing that shit looks way to complicated thought it be easier. My PC working just LED on all my accessories just wont light. But they do for a second when I reboot, but then they go out again before the login splash screen appears. 

No nothing. Here is my current PSU 

• POWERSUPPLY: 800 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX Ready

Might buy a new one before a new PC to see if this is the problem. Will this work? https://www.newegg.com/corsair-gaming-series-gs800-800w/p/N82E16817139025

ugh thanks best buy can suck my dick no thanks. 

 Another question my pc just stopped working today. Initially my screen started blinking and fading out, then it would go black, then come back on but just rotate solid colors green, blue, red, everything else dead. I rebooted, changed my HDMI cable and that shit stopped, but now my USB ports seem dead because all the backlighting on my keyboard and joysticks won't light, and the LCD and LEDs on my keyboard are dead, but I can still type. Not sure wtf is going on but anyone have any ideas? 

Hey thanks guys. Another question my pc just stopped working today.

Guys I totally changed and decided finish my degree in real estate seems more promising right now thanks tho. 

Women are ruthless lol. 

You guys aren't funny I was being serious lol. 

If you had to pick one song right now and label it as your favorite song of all time what song would it be? 

Thx for the heads up Scidd. 

Thx Sem. 

Glad to see we've come along way since 1776! 

I've been playing so much CoD. Realism mode on ground war maps is really fun but all the snipers and stupid shit still persists, but I'm enjoying the fast pace gameplay and people usually play 4 man teams so there's some team play too. I like Modern Warfare most of all, glad too see we kicked your ass, haha!! Blud 

Aori you're not the only one saying this it's starting to bother me. WTF is going on in the PR server !! 

WB bro.

Great argument @Sciddles. We're getting a bunch of new players, and we do need to show them the ropes. Several recent newbies that I've seen were actually very eager to learn the game. You make a really good point that I myself am guilty of sometimes: We're not at our apex game when it comes to teaching newbies. The server, especially now, is in need of more @Risiko94's and in general a more noob-friendly attitude. While we are no training server (because that classification gets you more trolls and zero-fucks-given noobs), new players should find a good starting point in our server to learn the ropes of the game. They should be able to tag along infantry squads to learn how the tactics, weapon dynamics etc all work.

I'd like to tie this into another point that I've heard Sciddles make previously, namely about toxic playstyle in some squads. in PR we should be 1 team , competing against the enemy AKA bots. Sadly it's not uncommon to see squads making it a point-whore race, competing with other squads for the top spot which grants them 15 seconds of bullshit internet glory. When another squad fails to cap a flag, an oftenly heard reflex is "fucking noobs" instead of "let's go and assist". This is certainly not true for our entire playerbase, not even half or a quarter, but it's too frequent nonetheless. I myself had a great friend who taught me all the basics on my first play of the game, and that was a huge boost to both my experience and the value I can give to my team. Let us be that friend.

Also, that CAS stuff is bullshit indeed. CAS is a support unit that should support infantry on capping flags. If they are called for assistance but they choose to fubar some other flag purely for kills, give us a swift !r and we'll return an equally swift whiplash to the point-whore or flagskipper in question.

Point-whoring, killfarming and competing for the top spot on the server are detrimental to the spirit of PR and will eventually cause it's downfall. =VG= is one of PR's largest communities and is pretty much the leader COOP community. We sometimes forget that it's not just us regulars who play, but also a lot of good-hearted blueberries. It's easy to assume that everyone you don't know is a noob. Let's stop doing that.

This may seem like an unlogical tip, but I want to really recommend playing more difficult maps WAY more oftenly (within server pop limits ofc). Several players already commented that gameplay feels like we steamroll each map. A lack of challenge makes people 'create competition' by competing with each other for the top spot. Playing hard maps with noobs seems counterintuitive, but it forces teamwork and cooperation in order to win the map, exactly what the game was designed to be.

I've long feared the decay in the sense of teamwork, but having @Sciddles report it here is a stern wake-up call to me that we've been slacking in this regard. This man is one of our more recent players but his integrity and sense of fair play are both noteworthy and commendable. I'm glad you joined our server man, and I'm glad you are who you are and brought this up to us. Most of us have spent hundreds if not thousands of hours in this game, made great moments to remember and forged great friendships. We welcome the young and the old, the timid and the bold. We share many laughs, moments of great teamwork, and mourn the loss of our brothers when they occur. Our server community made that possible, and I'll be damned if that community ever ceases to exist.

 

I want to join @Sciddles in his pledge, and become more actively supportive of new players in our community. I'd like to invite all my brothers and the one sister that I've met here throughout the years to join me and continue the great work we've been doing for years. 

Let us be more welcoming to noobs in the squad and take those few minutes to explain stuff to them. The veteran players will be there to cover the shooting part
Let us be understanding of newbies and help them become the new veterans that we'll love to play with. ALL of us were in their shoes.
Let us read the battlefield and make our next move accordingly, without expecting others to do it for us.
Let us rely more on our teammates instead of expecting the worst. And if they do mess up? We'll improvise. We're good at that, PR-style. 
Let us lead by example, let us think about the ones next to us and not just about our own score for meager internet points. Let us instead make memories together with a team of hilarious random people from all over the world as we kick some R-BOT ass.

 

Shit, newbies can be frustrating, but I remember my own beginner days and I would want everyone to have such a teacher and the welcoming that I had. I've played on =VG= on and off for 10+ years now and it's still my #1 game community. We all came as strangers, and now most of us are daily visitors. Let us continue to and become an even better version of what it already is. We made this, and we will make it better.  Hey who knows, one day we'll be sporting one of these on our desks, walls or around our necks.

 

Alright, I'm gonna stop talking. Thanks @Sciddles, and thanks to all players and admins who make =VG= the great community that it is (at least to me , let's be humble).

See y'all in the field.

THAT LOGO IS RAD! 

Thats how we started. I agree with that and we do need to let people get trained while playing when the server isn't full and definitely agree cas doesn't get utilized properly. Good post. Noted. Blud.
