Well, I think Syndicate guys should be nerfed on maps especially, due to some mods being applied to them and players.

*shrugs*

the damage numbers don't look too bad to me.

re: learning from deaths - YES. you should learn from mistakes. haha

re: private league - yeah, totally. /s maybe you should pay to be in a private league that's LESS rippy? i'm not the one complaining about the syndicates.

re: volband - are you seriously backpedaling into saying you want me to play with you? kick rocks. especially after all that crap you talked. lolwut?



golly, maybe someday i'll make it to maps!

How am I backpedaling when I literally wrote that we open red maps for you? And yes, I said "we", as I don't care who does it for you here, as long as you can visibly back up your statements, and not just hide behind a hidden profile, while trolling here.

How is linking a red map means you killed the syndicate there? Even you can't be that dumb.

i like how you're so sure i'm just trolling and lying out of my ass. despite... zero.

as if the mere thought of someone defeating red tier syndicates is just that astounding.

esp with arc totems.

and yes, you said "open him some red maps" which i took to mean 'give him some red maps,' because otherwise wtf does it mean?

we party and you open the map and wait in your hideout while i play the game? seriously? hahaha, this just gets more and more absurd.

you got me. i play red maps and just don't kill anything. yup. totally.

You chose to hide everything about you, so eat what you cooked. You are Shrodinger's cat. You are either telling the truth or you are not, we really do not have anything to go on about either way. Both statement are true and false at the same time.

It's not. No one says it is; it's just unusually hard and punishing for no good reason. And the mechanics which makes it hard (ie. oneshots, non-telegraphed bursts, visual clutter, other - possibly - bugs) are not engaging whatsoever.

Oh buddy... :) I had a feeling you were an arc totem guy. No wonder you hide your character, as you would get all kinds of shit for you acting like a badass here, while doing the utmost meta bitch build possible and telling others to git gud.

What do you mean you didn't get what else it could mean? You literally said yourself: open red maps. The whole point of argument here is that you say syndicate is not hard at all, not veen on red maps, that's why I suggested we let you prove it.

How is this absurd? First of all, if we followed you, that would make the mobs stronger, and we don't need an excuse from you as to why you failed.

But if you don't like the concept, then do a video yourself where you highlight the maps (plural, because I want to see you against Fortification and Intervention) you play and the status of your Syndicate.

Hyperbole? Already? Come on now. :) It's a joy seeing you turn from the biggest bully into the biggest victim after each reply. You should make up your mind: is Syndicate ez pz and well-balanced, and you gladly show us scrubs how to do it even on red tier maps, or are you just another arc trapper, who mindlessly follows the most meta build in this league*, and thinks if his broken ass build has less trouble than the others, then he can gloat here freely?

poe 2018. when players are so bad they misuse scientific experiments.

i can't facepalm hard enough for this.

The scientific experiment fits, because the whole point of Schrödinger's cat is that you do not know whether the cat is alive or not right before the moment you open up its cage, therefore the cat is both alive and dead at the same time.

The same fits you character, because right now it exists in a state of darkness, where everything is possible, and the only visible borders are your achievement numbers. All we know is that you don't have all 40 of them, which sets some limitations on the capability of your character, but whether it kills syndicate members on T16 with ease or not is a mystery.

Also, I'm not the least surprised that you, a troll, is afraid to step up to the challenge. :) Who would have thought that when many players, including veterans are complaining about the Syndicate, one of the only players who lives in mystery and with 7 whole completed challenges is actually too afraid to back up his claims. Color me surprised.

Keep up the entertainment man. I bet you already had 40 mirror drops, but you won't show it to us :)

is it hot or cold outside?

i'm not outside, therefore i do not know. i guess i have to assume it's both hot and cold until i go outside.


yes, this is definitely "fits" the premise of the paradox. it's not like it's december or anything.

*facepalm*

and now i'm afraid? of... what? taking your map? wtf? fine. if you're on a nearrby gateway, you can open a map for me to steal. because this reallllly makes sense. i'd expect nothing less from one who thinks schrodinger's cat is applicable to if someone can not die in a video game against a random encounter in a league where hc 100's already been dinged.

Your example is worse, because by knowing it is December, you can make legit assumptions. If you are kept in a coma, then you wake up in a dark room, and someone asks you the question again, it would be more applicable.

The point of the paradox is that there is a poison which may or may not have killed the cat, but you can't possibly know. Similar thing with your character in the dark.

And yes, technically what you do not know can exist in both states.

Please, talk more about the HC players who did not even engage with the Syndicate stuff, lol.
