Waching daily Sep 5 2017

So recently I saw this Facebook poll in the CWs group

Asking if sniping in Contract Wars was still effective

Which reminded me of a discussion I had with Tarjei, better known as DeNeRlX I guess

About basically the same subject and

As a response to that I actually made a Facebook poll myself asking if you guys want a video on what I think of sniping in CW right now

And that's basically this, I don't really have a plan on how I'm going to do this video

I have a 6 sentence script infront of me

And I'll try to fill up the time with just that

So starting off I guess with this entire commosion on why wouldn't it still be effective, what changed?

The main, or basically the only reason, is that the Orsis got customization

And I think it's pretty well-known that the Orsis is basically the most popular sniper rifle in CW

And I think the only sniper rifle that can really match its performance in high levels would be the VSSK Viklhop

But since it's 20 SP, basically nobody gets it

So first of all, leave your own opinion on whether you think sniping is still effective in CW in the comment section

I'll kind a review and see what all of you think

But for me, I'm going to give my own opinion now and then develop it further on

And give some facts about what actually changed

So, what changed about the Orsis with customization and the entire balancing to it?

The bolt action became slower, so it has a longer time between taking shots

It takes a longer time to scope in

And the mobility decreased, that's kind a hard to explain

The base statistics of the gun, didn't actually change

But because it now has customization, the scope that was already on the Orsis originally

Now actually decreases its mobility

I don't really know if you know what I mean, but if a gun gets customization the mods that are on it start affecting the statistics

But if a gun does not have customization, the mods that are on it by default don't change the statistics

If you don't get what I mean, all you have to know basically is that the Orsis with the same mods now has -8 mobility

With the default mods

So what do I actually think of this entire balancing?

I think I have quite a different opinion to most people I spoke to about this

I think this is the best weapon balancing CW has ever done

So while all of you basically are complaining it has gotten ruined, I think it's the best thing ever

Because, if you look at previously overpowered guns, and yes I'd consider the old Orsis overpowered,

Because it was way too good at basically everything and way too fast for a sniper

The SR3M for example was really overpowered too, and they basically balanced it and nerfed it into oblivion

I personally think they completely ruined it while it was my favourite gun

But with the Orsis it's different

The main question I guess is, is it still effective?

I guess it's pretty obvious it became less effective

Because when you nerf a gun's statistics badly, it will basically always become less effective than it already was

But, I do not think it became ineffective

And I think, what most of you don't have, if you play the proper playstyle for a sniper, it became more effective

So I'm gonna go into that further so you can actually understand what I mean

If you look at the actual complaints that I personally saw,

Was that because of the time between shots, it became harder to make multi-kills

The first thing I think is why are you trying to make multi-kills with a sniper, that's not really what it's meant for

Same goes for time to scope in

This is not Call of Duty, you're not supposed to quick-scope at your enemies

And slower mobility, I think that a sniper is supposed to position himself well and for long distances, you could just take out your pistol

If you noticed the "subtle" cut, it's because I just ruined something, but let's just ignore that

How are you actually supposed to play a sniper, and why does in my opinion this actually become a really good thing?

Why do I think this is the best balancing CW has ever done

As I already said, like with overpowered guns before like SR3M they basically ruined it

The Noveske was really good and now a lot less

But with the Orsis I actually think they did something really nice

Because they punished things, the bolt action, the time-to-scope and the mobility, I can't count

That actually shouldn't make a difference, if you're using the gun right

But the thing is, most of you that are complaining in my opinion aren't using the gun right

Because I see all these people that are way too aggressive with it and simply aren't using the sniper right

But, the customization actually adds one thing, that in my opinion is very important to properly playing a sniper

And that's basically a silencer

Because in my opinion, the way you're supposed to use the Orsis

And the way this update actually doesn't matter much or even makes it more effective

Is that you're basically a lone wolf around the map and you play from a really long distance

So the enemy can't really hit you

And you're supposed to pick off individuals

Basically be a nuisance to the enemy team

And not actually easy to kill or find

So what customization adds, is silencers

Which makes this amazing, because if you told me 2 years ago

That there was going to be an update that the Orsis would actually get a silencer

It would basically cover the only weakness it had

But, the thing is, most of you are playing just way too aggressive with the Orsis

You have to keep the distance, you have to keep picking off enemies at long range

And yes, that is a pretty boring style to play

And it's way slower, but the multi-kills, you shouldn't be getting them

You shouldn't play like that. That's why everybody keeps complaining that the Orsis became less effective

Because everybody's playing way too aggressive, the speed shouldn't matter

You're supposed to pick off enemies at long range, that's it

So yes it became slower, but no, it didn't become ineffective

And yes, it became less effective at how you played it

But no, it didn't become less effective at what the Orsis is actually good for

This update nerfed the Orsis on areas that you shouldn't be using it for

Which is a quick-scope gun, a multi-kill gun

And actually complimented its actual use

By adding the silencer and basically making you much stealthier around the map

And the whole thing like you can choose your own sight now if you really didn't like the previous scope

That's a simple bonus I guess

So, this is a pretty amateuristic video, I didn't really have much preparation

But that's basically my opinion on the new Orsis, it's the best weapon balancing CW has ever done

And it's far from ineffective

So ye, that's kind of the end of the video, isn't it?

Here's an awkward cut-in during the video, I actually forgot to mention this in the outro

But if you guys want to see more discussion videos like this, and ofc future ones should be better since I get more practice

Just tell me in the comments and I'll make up some subjects or listen to what you guys want to hear

And I'll do this type of video just discussing the topic basically

So yeah, quick cut-in because I forgot during the editing

Well if you liked it you can like it, if you disliked it, then why did you watch till the end?

Busted, I cringe at myself right now

And am I bad at outros, farewell people

FAQ: Is Insurance a Waste of Money? - Duration: 2:16.

So some people look at a plan and they say "Insurance, that's like a guaranteed

loss - I'm not going to get sick, I'm not going to die, why should I do that? Why

shouldn't I just put all the money into my investments and get to retire like a year,

maybe two years earlier?" The answer, you know, we worked out a while back actually

where we took a young couple in their 20s, mid 20s, 25 years old, making a plan to

retire at 65 years old and we worked out what are the chances that one of them is

either going to die, become permanently disabled or suffer a

critical illness like cancer or heart attack or stroke between the ages of 25

and 65. The answer came out to almost 50%. So 50% of the time, if all

they did was plan their investments, they would fail they would not have enough

money to maintain their lifestyle anywhere close in retirement even if it

was just a critical illness for a year where they had to take a year off work

to recover from cancer they would not be able to retire and that would set them

back years into their retirement so the answer is absolutely insurance

should play a key role often what happens is at the very early stages of

planning when you know you just paid off your student debts and you're renting

somewhere and you just got your first job and now you have an extra hundred

dollars a months and you're not sure what you should do with it so you come

to Planswell you say what should I do often those types of situations have

most of that money going to insurance because your biggest asset is not your

hundred dollars a month at this point it's your ability to make

a million dollars over the next few decades as you get later on in your in

your life and the closer you get to your actual financial freedom or your

retirement date generally we see a lot more plans that are really just focused

on investments have very little insurance and often no mortgage needs so

it's different all the way through but but generally speaking anytime before

you're financially free as long as you're still saving and contributing to

a goal of financial freedom insurance will generally play a role in making

sure that you're successful

Ask the Vet - When is it too hot to ride my horse? - Duration: 5:24.

SARAH: "How do you tell when it's

too hot to ride your horse?"

Ooh, this is a good one.

We get this question a lot.

"Does SmartPak have any items that

would help with keeping cool this summer?"

Do we ever.

DR LYDIA GRAY: So, you know what I

read online about people that are having conversations

about when it's too hot to ride.

It's interesting that the people who

live in the northern climate, like, "oh, it's 75,

I'm so hot."

And then the people in the south,

just, it's just a solid all caps, ha ha ha.

And then maybe rolling on the floor laughing.

So it, a little bit, varies from where you are

and what you're acclimated to, that's a huge component of heat

and, really, cold too.

So it's vice versa.

So there is a rule of 150, that when

you add the temperature and the humidity,

if it's 150 or greater, you either shouldn't work

or you should really take it easy.

So that would be like--

SARAH: That's with riding.

Not like going to work, you still have to go to work.

DR LYDIA GRAY: Yeah, you don't go to work if it's 150.

So like that would be like 90 degrees and a 60% humidity.

So it's not-- like that's not exactly the heat index,

because it's a little bit more complicated.

There is an algorithm, it takes into account

the sun intensity, the cloud cover, wind--

because you know you feel cooler on a day

when there is a breeze outside versus there is nothing moving

and it's muggy and warm, and you're like,

ugh, you're out there for just a few minutes

and you can't take it.

So a little bit, use your common sense.

Certainly if you moved a horse to an area that was cool

and now it's warm, he's going to need to get used to it.

If a horse is not fit, the time to ask him

for that 100 mile trail ride is not the hottest, muggiest day

of the year.

Because horses sweat to cool, to keep their core temperature

at 99.5 degrees.

If the sweating mechanism is inefficient,

as it becomes when the air is full of moisture,

they're not going to be able to cool off

and then their core temperature is going to rise,

and that can actually become dangerous for them,

like it's dangerous for people.

So it's a little bit using your head.

SARAH: So definitely, that 150 is

kind of a good rule of thumb.

The rule of 150 is a good place to get you thinking about it.

But if you're worried about it, it's

probably not worth the risk.

Ride in the morning, ride at night,

but don't feel like you need to go out there and go crazy.

DR LYDIA GRAY: And if you have a show planned,

I mean even though you've paid money or whatever

and it's all planned, use your head.

SARAH: Yeah.

DR LYDIA GRAY: You know, you don't have to do this.

It's not worth it.

SARAH: Yeah.

I feel like we missed something because I was wondering--

because I know we have some products

back here that we didn't talk about.

DR LYDIA GRAY: Oh.

SARAH: And it was the, do we have any products to help

keep you cool this summer?

DR LYDIA GRAY: We did miss that.

SARAH: And do we ever.

I don't remember what happened with this question,

but I got so excited.

We talked about when it is too hot to ride,

and that's such a great topic so we got distracted.

DR LYDIA GRAY: Look what I found.

SARAH: So, c.a.b187, we are going

to answer the second half of your question.

This is a cool aid.

DR LYDIA GRAY: Cooling technology.

SARAH: Which is very cool.

DR LYDIA GRAY: Very hip.

SARAH: Pun intended.

DR LYDIA GRAY: So you wet this and you put it on your horse

and it helps--

I think I read about this--

I think it can reduce the ambient temperature

around the horse, like 30 degrees or something crazy.

And the really cool thing is, if you don't wet it,

you can use it in the winter then, as a wicking,

to wick the sweat off after you ride,

and dry your horse faster.

So it's a year-round technology.

But I haven't used it, it's new for us, I think.

I would like to.

I think it's a super product, so that's

what I recommend for your horse.

I also found this.

You know, when I was answering this question

I just kept finding stuff.

This is getting awesome reviews.

It's a Sunflower Suncoat.

It's for horses who have some--

well, that you don't want to bleach out,

because they have a beautiful bay coat or black or whatever.

But imagine too, that they have white somewhere.

And it's pink skin under white hair,

versus dark skin under dark hair.

And this can help protect them, because it's UVA and UVB both.

So this is getting rave reviews.

And I also like these fly masks that have the long noses,

also provide some protection for those white noses--

those peak noses.

SARAH: Yeah, when you have those markings.

DR LYDIA GRAY: And strips the skin--

it's painful as it gets really red, you know?

SARAH: Yeah.

So there's a lot of things that we have to help you cover up.

We also did an article called Beat the Heat,

in one of our recent supplement nutrition guides,

that we sent out.

And that has some product picks to both protect you

from the sun and help you keep your cool,

so we'll include a link to that.

DR LYDIA GRAY: For people, too.

SARAH: Yeah, for people.

DR LYDIA GRAY: Like the long sleeve shirts.

SARAH: We have a lot of sun shirts

and they have really cool ventilation under the arms.

There's a lot of cool products we're

very passionate about here at SmartPak.

And of course, a little shout out, free shipping both ways.

Free ship over $75 and free returns on sized items.

It's the smartest place to try a new product like a Cool Aid

Blanket.
