I can haul balls home and get on around 4 pst. Want to play one last time before the professor leaves the building.

That would have been an epic way to go out! Controller/Mic Drop. Exit building.

Sorry I'm such a load. I'm trying to get better at crucible, I really am. PvP has never been my thing, but I've noticed a slow improvement over time. ...That game was not one of my better days.

I notice I personally don't do as well when running with a DBO group (tho' the team as a whole usually does pretty well). I tend to do better running solo. I wonder if that's because I'm being matched up with higher 'trueskill' opponents.

I don't do as well in Control as a rule, but I think you might have a point there.

Still! I'm not complaining. I actually appreciate the fact that I get my ass kicked so thouroughly. Sure, I feel bad for my team, but today I did a bit of Clash and Control and found out that I'm actually kinda rocking it. Every time I play with DBO, I walk away with skills just a tiny bit more sharp. I'm hoping that eventually I'll be competent... and maybe finally get this freaking Thorn bounty beat.

I thought you had some great plays yesterday, was really glad you popped in. Saved my bacon more than once with smart heavy management.

Thanks, that means a lot.

And no, just because I'm not that good at the actual combat doesn't mean that I'm not good at all. I'm a good support player. On occasion when others would be stating their intent to take one point, I'd immediately start capping another. The sacrificial lamb, so to speak. Draw attention to another location right before the main offensive on the primary objective. Is it a good tactic for my score? Hell no. Did it get us C and B? Arguably, yes.

When playing with DBO crowds, I often trail along with one or two, working to try and watch their six, draw fire, or just maintain situational awareness while they're focused elsewhere. Or, you know, act as a bullet sponge to keep the people who can reliably get kills alive.

Heck, when I fight Atheon, I'm proud to say that we never drop due to the oracles whenever I got teleported. (Unless I get stuck with the relic. Someone mentioned relic training yesterday? YES PLEASE! SIGN ME UP!) Give me a support role, and I'll do my best to rock it.

Tried really hard to get the 'must do today' stuff done in time to play.

Failed.

Bleh. Glad you had fun, though!

I've had Planet Comicon all weekend and have collapsed immediately after leaving the booth each day. If it was any other weekend I would have given you a proper send-off.

Looking forward to your return!
