is warzone firefight still kinda cheap? i remember the bosses have ludicrous amounts of health

then again, it might be because people didnt like to use reqs in ff
Yeah you can still get mega cheesed by enemies spawning in while you’re trying to kill a boss and legit everything can one-hit you, especially Promethians or Banshees. The 30 second respawn timer is the dumbest addition I’ve ever seen too. I’ve died so many times to peeking a Knight with an incineration cannon when they pre-fired a fully charged shot.

Aside from that even Solo Queue you should make it through 99% of the games you play, more people are willing to use good reqs than in 2016. Mind you I only play heroic

Trump's halted US funding to the WHO.

Absolute smoothbrain play there.

 But.... why?
Apparently Trump is not happy with how WHO handled the virus response in its first days. So this is his way of penalizing them.
I dunno what he was expecting they’re just a band smh

I’m surprised people don’t use the gunner seats in tanks in wz firefight. I find they’re really good for helping a dude keep shots on when Warden/that grunt boss tries to focus them and the tank can’t fire because of the EMP.

Hard to believe that around this time 10 years ago we were all getting hyped for the Reach Beta. Seems like yesterday.

I'm thinking of getting a wicker bill like this for my car to make it a little more aggressive looking, plus the black will match with my car's stripes.

Does it have a factory spoiler or is it bare to begin with? Ducktails are 👌

I say you should swap the gauges to make your car look more modern. It will look cleaner and nicer compared to the clunkiness of the older style.

 I did the same thing to my stereo and entertainment system when I had my Pontiac.
I agree the MFD itself adds a more modern touch. I should stop being on the fence about such things and just bite the bullet.

I’ll definitely be updating the Head Unit and speakers eventually too. GT-Rs with the existing MFD as well as one of those aftermarket touchscreens to replace the OEM head unit look tidy as fuck, so I’d love something like that for myself.

I’m doing a GT-R Z-Tune body conversion soon, but I’m tempted to put that on hold to replace my Console Gauges (pic 1) with an MFD from a GT-R since there’s one for sale nearby and they’re hella rare (and an actual GTR is impossibly expensive rn)

console gauges
MFD

Thoughts? I’m in no rush either way. Certainly my bodywork needs attention, but it’s all going to be a slow process regardless and I’m in doubt over whether I’ll ever get an MFD for this price ever again.

Fucking same lol. It’s been 3 and a half weeks. I get 350-400 km to a tank (~220-250 miles) and I’m not even halfway empty yet.

Is fuel really cheap right now for you guys too? With the exception of Diesel and E85 everything is hella cheap here.

If all you care about are cosmetics, sell those XP boosts for now. That way, you get more points to spend on packs and potentially get REQ boosts. Save the gold packs for now. Don't forget that you get daily login packs also by logging into Waypoint once a day. Some of them may contain low-level certs and maybe even cosmetics.
Are cosmetics just armour or permanent unlocks in general? I’m more interested in unlocking weapons and vehicles for WZ FF, but I assume the overall goal is attained the same way?

I wouldn’t mind using 63 legendary XP boosts if they help me level up to get more packs.

So are XP boosts not worth it? I have a tonne of legendaries that can net me about 20k in credits, so I thought they might be somewhat consequential. If they’re better off sold that’s fine by me tho.

And I assume it’s best to let accumulated gold packs sit until I’ve grinded most of silver?

I'm not a huge fan of the Toyota Coroller due to design but performance alone might get me sold on that car.

But the Mazda MX-5 Miata is a car I've wanted since I was 5. No joke. As for the listing, yeah I think its a neat deal and having the removable hard top despite it being another $1000 out of my pocket would at least protect the car from water damage.

I'd go to the dealer and check out this very car that I linked right now but because of this stupid Coronavirus shit I can't even do that. I have heard that a 90s Mazda Miata with automatic transmission is bad mainly because its 4 speed and you lose the fun factor with it as a result, but honestly I could end up getting that one too if I don't end up finding one that's manual assuming this car I linked gets sold. I'd still like to learn stick properly though, I've been told that I'd be better off with an automatic car either way because of how bad traffic is (pre covid-19) and that I'd get tired of driving stick really fast, Yeah I don't know about that, there are people who daily drive this car with a manual transmission and they don't seem to have a problem with it.

I have done some research on the Miata. I'm avoiding the 1990-1991 models due to the short nose crank that they have which breaks easily, I'm going after one that at least has duel air bags and power steering, so that eliminates me getting one with a 1.6 engine. Originally I was going to go 1992 and up, but now I think I'm gonna go 1994 and up. I may cap it at 1997 if I want one with popup headlights or not.

I'm not gonna get an ND Miata because that's $35,000 plus tax and other chargers, and its money I do not have, and the NC Miata is the least desirable. That leaves the NB and the NA Miatas, NA being the all time favorite, especially for modding.
NAs are cool, I’d avoid the 1.6 too, but more because it’s underpowered than anything else.

Honestly Manuals aren’t that bad. My daily has a really heavy twin plate clutch and even with that I don’t find stop-start traffic all that tedious. For a car with a more ‘standard’ setup you should be fine.

So is it true you have to grind for ~600 hours to get all Req unlocks? I’m kind of only looking for DMR, H2 BR, Mantis and AA Wraith certificates.

So far I haven’t found my 90,000 variations of Civilian Mongoose/Warthogs particularly helpful and I find even at <1 use per game I’m going backwards on Power weapons and Ghosts. Except Ad Victoriam. Game loves giving me Rockets so it’s not all bad.

i dont remember exactly how long in hours, but it took me quite a while to get all the reqs

i think i was around level 80-90 when i did... maybe even into the 100's

Oh btw I upgraded the rims a few months back. They’re only reps at the moment but they’re much better looking (and lighter) than Stock rims.



Rota P45R 18x9.5/10”. Feels much more planted/grippy around corners with the wider track. Hopefully one day I’ll get some LMGT4s.

I need to learn to drive stick as well. Automatics suck when it comes to driving up a hill, heck automatics in general take away the driving experience and make you feel less in control. They might be convenient for not shifting, but that creates distractions. If everyone drove a manual transmission, no one would be able to text and drive.

https://lafinemotors.com/vdp/13688316/Used-1995-Mazda-MX5-Miata-w-Removable-Hardtop-for-sale-in-North-Hollywood-CA-91602?mode=photos

Thinking about picking this up as a second car whenever I have the money if I don't sell my first car, or if I do sell my first car, I sell it to this dealer and get this car instead. I've wanted the Miata since I was 5 and these cars are cheap to maintain and are modifiable as fuck. Plus this one is manual transmission and is allegedly a lot fun. Its not a very fast car, but that's okay, I don't need it to be a fast car. Though its faster than the $16,000 heep of shit I currently own and drive and is overall a better fucking car because it doesn't have bullshit like auto stop/start. Someone is likely going to buy this one before I even have the chance to get my hands on it anyway.

I'll be lucky if I ever find another Miata that's in great shape or at least decent shape like this one, since most seem to be trashed up and treated like crap. I still need to test drive this sucker at least once, but I'm positive I'll enjoy it.

Regardless if this is my next car or not, I need to learn stick. Last time I drove stick shift was when I was 12 (it was an empty parking lot and I was supervised, but at least I've had experience even if I was too young and wasn't much. I didn't even stall when I got the car moving until I saw a fence and hit the brake hard forgetting to get it out of gear. Obviously I was 12 but I'm an adult now and a far better driver compared to being a kid.)
MX-5s are a good learning platform, they feel kinda like a Go-Kart to drive and even though they’re underpowered stock, they’re heaps of fun.

Removable Hardtops are pretty popular and a pricey option even by itself. I can’t view the listing but it sounds like a neat deal.

You’re in the US aren’t you? You should still be able to find a decent Toyota Corolla/Sprinter AE86 Twin Cam/4A-G swapped SR5 for a good price. They’re like $20k+ over here because of Initial D but seem to be reasonably priced stateside.

It’s been going well for me, I’ve been dating this girl since June last year. We’ve known each other since 2016 through a former workplace, and ran into each other on New Years 2018 when I was walking home from a party. We were both in a pretty dark headspace and just developed a connection from hanging out pretty much all the time after that. I think we both sort of helped each other through pretty dark times in terms of mental health.

I’d actually given up on the idea of dating after a prior relationship turned abusive, but this one actually feels like a 2 way street where we’re both best friends and into each other. It’s been a dream so far my dudes.

I still occasionally read the message he had his friend forward to me after his passing. I think he had one prepared for everybody he felt close to when the time was right.

That half finished message still hits hard to this day.
