right? it's so strange having played this game when 'esports' was a meme

This game and what we all have seen/want this place to be will wreck your mental if you let it, like BumFreeze said you can't please everyone. Just keep in mind the people giving you stress have zero bearing on your daily life. People I don't even know or have never even talked to in TF2 have beef with me. I'm sure my "reputation" isn't great in some circles, and haven't the slightest clue why except for some dumbass posts. Do I let it bother me? Sometimes. Hard not to in certain situations. In the end, they're a stranger under an alias with a bad attitude I'll never knowingly meet face to face.

If you're expecting to hear a very detailed specific way to save face for yourself for some transgressions; you're not going to get what works out for you here. Most everybody here is posting hangry, steaming from their own grievances like your own and because you're here, you're in the radius to get shit on to make themselves feel better. If you feel bad about having done something, then good you are experiencing life and while you should be learning from these; you shouldn't hold yourself to a degree where every possible random stranger should adore you.

People don't mind people that make mistakes, they mind when people don't learn from mistakes.

welcome to online gaming

know the feeling, tried to get back into this game after getting into OW with my school's esports branch and while it doesn't feel quite 'dead' it certainly ain't alive

if it can get everybody in one place having a good time again like the golden era of TF2, let's gooo

just so good

Mage has been super fun though, all the other titles I've played as a Tarkus descendent going typical strength build jump attack spamming. Just tired of it, wanted to see how a magic playthrough feels like. It's easier in some regards, but you can miss your spells on some mobs that are really acrobatic. I could dodge all day but if I run out of FP flasks, I'm fucked, I cannot do damage with a useless glintstone-on-stick. Melee can just run around constantly and hit the same damage expectedly and only worry about dodging. If melee had durability and had to worry about their weapon becoming useless mid-fight, maybe mage mode would undeniably be the easier way to play.

i've been made

it's so op tho

I'm on a 1080, 5800x, 32gb RAM, on NVME storage and I haven't experienced any performance issues that I'd wanna start a fire over. A little stutter when a graveyard wants to pop a dozen skeletons up at once, only times I've crashed are when I'm playing co-op and that's only crashed a couple times in the loading screen. Also running on max graphics. I've gotten a little input delay on my wireless controller, but it has only ever gotten me killed once. I've been playing every title by From Software since Tenchu Z, and this feels like the best form and function of everything they've ever done to date. Shame to hear so many negative outlooks on things on what I think are some of the coolest parts being introduced to the formula. I wonder how people will sound when they beat the game and eventually acclimate to the changes. Personally, just here for the ride and enjoy what they have setup for everyone to experience.

I found the "Ambush Shard" sorcery and wow I can't wait to get invaded now, this shit is gonna be so fun to spam on those backstab spammers.

I think I was a little mislead on the whole "MMO" part of this game, but man this game is beautiful and challenging. 1st boss took me like fifty tries but I did it with 1hp and luck of the frame. Running mage, loving it so far.

my first match i played in esea, it was on the worst team in open

my second match i played in esea, it was on the worst team in invite

i won my first LAN, but it was a college LAN (shoutout to nonis, deth, lange, drshdwpuppet)

you know i'm kinda the fuckin goat of being the worst

i like to pretend im a giant and lint is a wandering traveler from the cotton societies and one has journeyed thousands of centimeters to find shelter in ma belly

i call for the finest shitposters, and this is what shows up?

i'm fuckin leaving this site

calling all the finest shitposters to drop some under 10mb gifs for epic discord swag

thanks in advance
