- It's *still* unclear whether the other changes listed in the CX derivative post apply to the market as a whole or not. -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 11:55 10
  - It seemed pretty clear to me that they wouldn't. -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 11:56 9
    - then why do they reference experienced players playing styles? -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 12:12 2
      - Because if experienced players are going to play the new derivatives then they'll need to change their playing styles. -- nm - Ender Sep 22, 12:16
      - I think because they'll have to adapt those styles to make H$ using CX derivatives -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 12:16
    - That makes one person that finds it clear. - ty97 Sep 22, 11:57 5
      - Here's my take inside: - Roger More Sep 22, 12:12 4
        
        That doesn't make sense. If their objective in making the changes is to "create greater alignment" between HSX and CX, how is having no adjust on the - Loyola Sep 22, 12:15 2
        
        For CX derivativess there won't be an adjust - for Moviestocks etc there will be -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 12:17 1
        
        It's impressively unclear, I'll give you that. -- nm - Loyola Sep 22, 12:18
        
        I'm leaning toward this side, but I think it's unclear. I asked for clarification, will see. -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 12:15
- "A study performed by HSX staff..." - Loyola Sep 22, 11:54 1
  - I think this is one place where they have their data in check. They know manipulations occurs in comm-free. -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 11:56
- Awesome. nm - Dignan Sep 22, 11:53
- Boo hoo, no H$4 million port plummets at 1pm Saturday -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 11:52 4

    - It'll be the same reaction the last X times they canceled comm-free - ty97 Sep 22, 11:59 2
      - Yep. Honestly, I'm quite happy with a lot of the changes they've made, which suit my lazy, long-term style of play -- nm - Roger More Sep 22, 12:03 1

  - I don't know if this makes sense, but I've always thought that he needs to grow into his face. - Dignan Sep 22, 11:51 5
    - I sense Leo may pull a Brando -- nm - ty97 Sep 22, 11:53 4

    - I was thinking of Bourne which made me think of action stars. -- nm - Max Sep 22, 11:49 7
      - I think one of the reason Damon worked so well for Bourne is that he *isn't* as action star. -- nm - znufrii Sep 22, 11:59
      - I don't think being the lead in Gamer makes you an action star. -- nm - David Sep 22, 11:50 5

- They're actors. How relevant can their actual ages be? - con_carne Sep 22, 11:45 1
  - If the role calls for an ass-kicking grandfather, he's not going to get cast. -- nm - Max Sep 22, 11:51

    - with the radar? - tRuMaN Sep 22, 11:46 11
      - wow, so I do not have to crouch when protecting a flag to be invisible on radar? - groiny Sep 22, 11:50 10
        
        No but it does make you a bit harder to hit since instinct is to aim higher. -- nm - David Sep 22, 11:51 9
        
        Damn, I wonder what else I am doing that is not necessary... nm -- nm - groiny Sep 22, 11:52 8

        I do not recall. - groiny Sep 22, 12:10 4
        
        its okay, it was funny about 30 seconds later and is still funny to me - crash davis Sep 22, 12:11 3
        
        I never take a hog without a gunner. - groiny Sep 22, 12:12 2
        
        I was the gunner, I hopped off to grab the flag. I turned around and you were fleeing as the team swarmed us. - crash davis Sep 22, 12:15 1
        
        my best guess is I did not realize you jumped off...... - groiny Sep 22, 12:17

I'd say Norton's in the same class talent-wise, but Damon's not a jerkoff so he'll be choice #1 for more roles, I think. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 22, 11:39 1
