Net-1 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 man it’s too much I was grinding over the weekend with the 2xp pretty much ignoring family and sleep and eating drinking only pizza beer and got through two prestiges to 5 (just playing TDM and FFA) then I thought to myself what the hell am I doing with my life....... I am going cold turkey until the DLC drops..... I even asked my 10 year old daughter play while I couldn’t just to keep the grind going. (Note This is not a reverse boosting technique...She’s a pro but she prefers AW doesn’t like bops3 at all but what do kids know.....Dad of the year yes I know.......)

bagsta69 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm only first prestige lvl 30 so a long way for me yet. I used to rank up quicker by playing a lot of Dom on previous cods but Dom on this cod is infested with Kdr whoring parasitic scum bags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Net-1 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 I'm jealous of the marathon gaming session,if I did that I'd 100% be stabbed in my sleep off the wife To be honest there is a look in the wifes eyes the last few days that makes me want to swap plates with her before eating dinner. After the weekend I have pains in my arms and a massive pain in the back of my neck, I have bloodshot eyes, and I have been totally hanging wrecked at work yesterday and today. I’m going to meetings half asleep, I look pale and feel weak. I am supposed to be running a small team of engineers who have a huge amount of work to do before Christmas, but the best I can do is manage to stay awake until home time. They probably think im on crack. I do these marathon gaming sessions now and again (its like Ive never grown up from gaming) but if I did it every weekend I would lose my job and family in no time. Like many of lifes indulgences....It was awesome while it lasted...but I don’t think was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Here Here Bags! I couldn't agree more with your assessment of Dom in this title. I was trying to grind this weekend and had to give up. Too many deaths with just me on a flag, or just me trying to hold a spawn. Went back to playing Kill COnfirmed. Because the games last 25 kills longer than TDM, not that I actually had any fucking hope of COLLECTING my own tags and hitting a streak. Fucking tag scavengers out there, FOR REAL! <back on topic> I'm actually very happy with this change. I don't expect the next title to be fantastic, and when it's not, it will be nice to know I can reset my account and play a "new" year of BO3....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once everything is unlocked at 55,I'm golden... I feel the same way. I only prestige when I am bored, double XP weekend and I don't have anything else planned. Many of my friends are Master Prestige. Most are prestige 6 and above. They give me A LOT of flax for not prestiging. I just prestiged the first time this weekend because of double XP. I won't do it again until the next double XP weekend.

JConnor Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Prestige is overrated. You get NOTHING for it other than a new badge and bragging rights. Granted, it's a hell of a lot better than AW where they gifted you OP weapons (yeah, tell me how balanced that P2W game was?), but I really wish the various developers revamped Prestige because all it is right now is a sign some people don't have any real lives outside of gaming e.g. I saw a level 65 Master Prestige today. I have nothing against playing a game you like, but you know to be that far this soon after the game is out means they are playing it close to five, six hours a day and possibly more. I just can't do that anymore at my age. I love games, but two, three hours is the max. There are other things in my life and gaming is just a hobby and always will be.

PharmDawgg Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 If I ever feel the grind is greater than fun factor I will quit playing. It's not there yet and I don't want it to be. I will prestige and continue to but I don't feel I need to every week. So I pace myself and enjoy the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy clam Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 For such a big guy, I would have thought you had less pussy in you. Nope I'm all estrogen but catch me on the wrong day and the fingernails will come out... I've mastered on every Cod I've ever played and Grand Mastered on 4 different accounts on AW,after surgery all I could do was game.But I just don't know if it's all that fun anymore as it sets up to be almost a "have to" thing which shouldn't be the case as it a video game. Who knows maybe I'll change my mind and roll shit over on 2 XP weekends but now I'm more interested in maxing all the guns up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_Wildcats_Fans Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 For me, the only real advantage to prestige is more Class slots and to break boredom if it gets old. I like playing COD because of the friends that I have online and how the game plays. Each game will be different depending on the players, maps, flow, etc. It games presents a new challenge and strategy to overcome. Most of my friends are beasts and slayers. I know that they will be going for the win but also going for kills and streaks. We usually have A LOT of HATRs in the air during the games. I like to change up my role depending on the need of each game. For me, gold, diamond, dark matter - they won't change how quickly I can kill someone.

JConnor Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Who knows maybe I'll change my mind and roll shit over on 2 XP weekends but now I'm more interested in maxing all the guns up. I believe this is a more realistic and fun goal that results in tangible benefits e.g. more play time, but also more experience with weapons you like and even those you've never touched before. Also, I've noticed the majority of games now feel like "work" which I refuse to buy into... Literally and figuratively. I was going to get into Hearthstone, and I've done fairly well with my F2P decks, but when I read a discussion about the game that looks at the overall model and time/money investment... It's just a 24/7 grind if you want to go F2P and even if you buy some cards, it's still a grind because Blizzard could nerf, buff certain cards making the metagame obsolete within a week. This means more grinding for cards that might fit the new meta and for what? Have the same thing happen four months down the line? The biggest negative is there is not a balanced MM system. There are people with maxed out decks playing noobs in both casual and ranked. This is the kind of game that needs SBMM because of the huge discrepancy between a beginner and vet due to beginners not having the basic card sets when you start.

I'll admit I always buy the extra Create a Class slots because I don't prestige. However, this is a minor microtransaction... Less than $1 in past CoDs... That doesn't effect anybody else, so it is a "tradition" with me - lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I always prestige. It forces me to use different setups which is actually fun compared to getting used to the same gun, perks, etc. also why I love going for diamond camo which has improved my play as I am now much better at getting head shots and therefore surviving near deaths much more often. I only reached prestige master once with black ops 2 I think it was only because I was lucky enough to be able to get fiber Internet at the time which made going 30 and 2 pretty easy. Now I have Comcast cable and can barely stay positive. Still trying to tweak my netduma just right. If I ever do then maybe I can get to 1000 in this game but probably not because I too would be murdered by wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillinger Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I guess I don't have the good enough gene when it comes to this sort of thing. I want to keep getting experience, new unlocks, modifying my game, my perks, my routes, I want the meta game to change so I have new shit to do. I have never understood grinding a game, hours every night, when you are at 0 Prestige, level 55, and never just pushing the button. If you were going to walk away from the game, I would totally understand that, you're done. And here is my REAL BITCH about the system. Those perks and abilities don't degrade for those that don't prestige. So the average scumbag (presently company excluded because you guys are here for crying out loud) is going to get their crutches, and then just keep leaning on them FOR-EVAH. Double XP weekend? There's Scumbag Steve 5 star, 55th level, in a party, in every lobby getting NOTHING for the event. Double Weapon XP? There's Scumbag Steve 5 star, 55th level, in a party, in every lobby running the same one gun they got Gold about a decade ago. Look at Fuzzy. Dude was layed out on his back after surgery and he went MASTER (4) times. IN AW?!?!? That is a beast right there, I could never have done that once. He could have sat back and just used a couple of overpowered classes, but he kept challenging himself, or entertaining himself, but the effect was the same. I LOVE what 3-Arc did this time around with calling cards. You have to prestige at least once to get a bunch of the normal ones that people earn (Stock, Quickdraw, Grip, SMG, FMJ, Ghost) and show. That at least forces one Prestige out of them if they want something to show for the effort...LOL Now, onto the discussion of supply drops.....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dillinger Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 A day dosent go by that I don't think about going back to AW just to get that purple armor. I'm not going to lie. I thought SHG did a lot of things right with AW. The Master Prestige extension and the customized purple armor were definitely wins in my book. In all honesty, I am actually QUITE interested to see what SHG learned and am guardedly-anxious (if that is a recognized term) for their next offering.

bagsta69 Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think with each release you have to look at the community and how they play it, this can be influenced by points for the objective over kills and what the latest youtube douchebags are saying do to rank up fast. I pretty much for the last 6 months of AW played HC dom which in this iteration of the franchise is unplayable at the minute. I am playing HC tdm yawn, and have just discovered HC KC which is a mode I have not really played since MW3 but on this game seems to be quite fun and good points too if you bother your ass to pick up tags. How many times have I seen team mates simply run by them ? whatever. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have I seen team mates simply run by them ? whatever. lol. Who are you playing with?! If I don't kill a guy in melee range, I have about a 07% chance of getting that damn tag before some boost jump and slide douche glides over it, takes it, and then gets his dick dropped in the dirt 4 seconds later. If I am going to jack your tag, it's because I am near a streak and will pay you back. Taking tags just to take them when you know full well you aren't good enough to hit the 2nd and 3rd tier streaks you have preset is a douche move. I don't care what your favorite YT surrogate dad told you about loading them up and just waiting, you will hit them. You might, but stop taking my tags when I am running streaks I know I will hit and will help us win. I saw a custom graphic on a really good player's card one time that said : "If you steal tags, we are going to lose" and #sonofabitch if he wasn't right.

Dill, I wish you would just say what you mean, this wishy-washy stuff leaves me wondering what you mean!!! Seriously though I really think that some of those "douche" moves are done by players that just don't know any better - especially the "little darlings" that aren't really old enough to legally play this game. I was fortunately when I started as a clan member set me straight right off. Enjoy never the less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
