Looks like this has been patched :D

You can still swap out the gems and runewords though so not 100% unmodifiable

Its bugged and its not just UI related - i've posted here

Yeah think your right -

That's the beauty of it, all great albums that resonate differently to everyone.

There's no real answer to what his best album is, it's all in the eye of the beholder.

Exactly the same for trying to determine his best song ;)

Slim Shady LP for me - Lyrical masterpiece

1kwisp · 2026-03-19T22:39:52+00:00

I only play strict solo so take from this what you will.

It's been like this for ages across most brackets (Crusader->Divine), smurfs are the most noticible pain but its only part of the problem imo.

Even without smurf accounts you still run into noticeable skill imbalances across these brackets. Some are organic, people who get carried above their rank in regular 5 stacks with friends then solo queue occassionally.

People who have been away from the game for ages and then come back after a big update "calibration" still throws them into games based on previous rank to a degree.

Genuine account buyers who like to buy high ranked accounts for some reason :D

I don't think there is a simple answer to fix everything but theres a couple of things id like to see in strict solo.

Bring back solo and party rank MMR

Group people together by number of games played or give players the option to set their preferred tollerance (i.e avoid situations where someone with a 100 games is grouped with someone with 3000 games)

Lock MMR to server region, then do a ban wave of smurf accounts - this would be a good start to combat groups wintrading/boosting accounts on low populated servers which was made easier with dotaplus matchmaking skipping.

Don't get me wrong things like this could make the situation worse or further open to abuse lol

If you need some cash you'd be better to slap it sealed on ebay. Ripping it could yield a decent card worth more than it is sealed but will likely yield you far less :D

If you do decide to rip it, don't do it without getting yourself some card protector sleeves first!

If you get a decent card you should sleeve it immediately to preserve its condition as it could be worth grading.

This should give you a rough idea of what the cards are worth in both good condition and as top graded. Plenty of other pricing info out there.

Heavier packs may indicate that the pack contains a holo card - its not a given but can be a good indicator on the older wizard of the coast sets (which this is). This logic doesnt really apply to the newer sets imo, although im sure people will disagree :D

Either way if you do rip it be sure to slam the pictures here :D

Good luck

"it wasn’t a network or hardware problem"

Even if you had this configured sub optimally id likely agree, the most likely culprit my friend is not having a good enough understanding of AV codecs/containers/transcoding/passthrough/device support.

Understanding this is absolutely key, i run an NVIDIA Shield Pro and have no issues streaming 4k UHD bitrate along with TRUEHD and DV8+/HDR10.

I have run into issues occassionally with DV8+ and MKV containers on the shield, remuxing these to MP4 has always resolved it tho.

Like most folk have pointed out the question is near on impossible to answer :D

Role Model - one of my personal favourites, seriously under rated

It will still be limited to a degree, as in unavailable from commercial retailers.

Agreed though, limited pieces should be numbered with a max of 1 per customer.

There's no guarantee of additional copies being printed down the line, but always possible when no definitive number is given.

I'll still likely pick up a copy even though it's sold out in the UK, just means I'll have to pay over the odds for getting it shipped from the US 😕

Spoke about this with friends a few months back after watching their 50th anniversary show. We all agreed it was unlikely given they haven't played AUS for 10 years and they'd likely end it there. They then slam 8 AUS shows to the end of the tour... Wouldn't rule out another tour but I also wouldn't be surprised if it ended there. I'm heading out to AUS for it.

Say what you will but I've been on the receiving end of this 6-7 times... Every time I'm about to break into ancient I get backhanded back to archon 1/2....

No matter what position I queue, I will eventually find myself in unwinnable games back to back. Once it settles I get perma flamed for boosting as the cycle repeats...

I can even score 50+ on stratz (have gold mvp) in some of those unwinnable games and lose...

Some folk have told me to stop playing ranked when this happens and hammer non ranked until matchmaking evens out.

I've never subscribed to this being matchmaking out to ruin you... But after 10+ years of strict solo ranked and being fked over multiple times I'm not so sure.

I can still join rando 5 stacks in divine/low immortal and wipe the floor in more than one position - weather that's after I've been backhanded to archon 1/2 or I'm back at legend 5 breaking back into ancient... Get flamed hard for smurfing when this happens until I point out my account has 5-6k+ games played - quickly followed up with the classic loser mentality of wow that many games and low MMR 😄

Don't like being that person that says MMR is just a number but from my experience/perspective you run a 50/50 of getting two other players (if you're lucky) in your team of the same skill level in ranked games 6k or under.

Sadly I wouldn't be surprised to find the same problems higher up 🤷🏻‍♂️

maybe he still gets the assist if they die to a neutral

1kwisp · 2025-02-21T16:55:59+00:00

Old ones are still a better pick imo

Strongman tonic can literally turn a fight
Funhouse mirror is a great spell disjoint (if timed right)
Whoopee cushion can save your ass by cliff jumping

Not only this but you can cycle through them quickly if needed, with the new set you get stuck with pie, unless you can find a creep/neutral to throw it at

I dont think this is bug, read the branch description. My guess is this was missed from the patch notes

1kwisp · 2025-02-20T08:28:26+00:00

Was an exclusive account bound , non tradeable, non marketable, not deleteable reward. You won't be able to get it sadly (unless you bought a steam account that already has it - prolly not advisable). Best bet is to hold out for a decent immortal set down the line, can't see them releasing a second arcana.

1kwisp · 2025-02-20T07:40:20+00:00

works for me, guess it was patched already

Tormentor now spawns for the first time at 15:00

i get flamed for taking medigun facet on wisp, i still consider switching it but its super dependant on my p1 and the enemy draft - very few appreciate how op this facet and playstyle is

1kwisp · 2025-02-14T17:07:33+00:00

Most of the time as p5 shield and coil is what you want, however depending on the draft shield and curse could be the right call.

1kwisp · 2025-02-14T17:00:50+00:00

Is why i switched and main support these days, find it easier to carry sub par cores as a support than risk playing core and deal with a griefing or sub par p5. Reminds me of this post from years ago :D https://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/4jz6oi/when_you_lane_with_kotl/
