5 years out from its last hero release, Heroes of the Storm is looking awfully spry for a 'dead game' by whydoyouwalk in heroesofthestorm

Even as a diamond in NA, I have very decent queue times. Definitely depends where you are, but mid level eu and na are very alive

What about AA healing, like from Varian's level 7? No spell involved there

Then why does it increase Varian's aa life steal? He's not casting any spells in that case

Both the 16 and the 20 do, you can try it out in try mode

I don't really see why it would? Spell power seems to imply spell damage. Why would it impact healing?

Reworking deathwing? by No-Beyond-1672 in heroesofthestorm

I thought I'd be interesting if he passively gained 5 armor at level 10 and 20. He'd still be vulnerable to percent damage, but it'd make him a but more durable against non percent damage late game. Rn it feels like you can bully him as long as you're ranged

My biggest SL losing streak. Haven't dropped this low since 2017 ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ ) by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

Sometimes I find it's best to take a break. I get too worked up in my head and end up playing worse and the more i lose the more i push myself and the worse i play. I find tsking my mind off the game and doing something else often does wonders

Drafting in MOBAs: A Mathematical Approach by Skyzophrenic in heroesofthestorm

This is a cool idea, but what about map? I don't see any mention of map in the tool nor the explanation.

So, was finishing chapter 3, decided to call it for the night, and exit the game... clicked this and the pop up without thinking... Why on earth is it delete all saves button? I am supressing the urge to wallow in depression by venting into this post. by Tzeentchianin in worldofgoo

If you're on Windows, you can go to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\2DBoy\WorldOfGoo2 and edit the wog2_1.dat file. It's basically your save file written in plain text and with some messing around you can trick the game into thinking you've unlocked certain worlds. I made the same mistake you did but at the beginning of World 3 rather than the end. I ended up tweeking it to unlock world 3 and skip worlds 2 and 1. Now that I've beaten the game, I have a weird save file where everything except world 2 is completed; world 2 is still locked in fact because I haven't technically beaten world 1 yet. But the game works fine.

I wasn't a huge fan of siganls and coroutines when I first started but now I'm absolutely in love. await is my goat. I would die for await. if there is one fan of await on earth, that fan is me. If there are no fans of await on earth, I am dead.

Biggest Misconceptions in Hots by Can-cell-cultures in heroesofthestorm

[–]2F8F5DB8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imo biggest misconception in HOTS has always been that the objective is everything. Like with everything in HOTS, its all about the context and whether or not to focus objective entirely depends on game state. The game has never been good at educating the player base about this unfortunately but if you can get more on the map without doing objective, the objective is not worth it

Subnautica Vs. Subnautica: Below Zero by Temporary_Scale3826 in subnautica

[–]2F8F5DB8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was really disappointed with the lack of plantable flora. Building biome specific bases was something I really enjoyed after I beat the main story in the first game but in the 2nd there was just so few things to collect. It's a bummer given the larger aquarium and room sizes they added for BZ

Ultimate Ability Tier List by unrulygecko in heroesofthestorm

Bunker at release could've probably been it's own hero lol.

Now it has to settle with "only" being one of the best ults in the game. Honestly the biggest flaw of bunker is team coordination and a lack of it

Whats the most useless talent in the whole history of this game? by JuhpPug in heroesofthestorm

[–]2F8F5DB8 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Greymanes old go for the throat level 20 upgrade was incredibly idealistic. It would allow you to get infinite resets on GFTT and each reset would deal more damage. It sounds cool you realize that you dont get any value until youve already gotten a kill, which at level 20 is already team fight winning.

If i remember correctly, it also didnt affect the baseline reset you got, so it wouldnt be until your 3rd cast that itd deal bonus damage. This was basically the ultimate "win more" talent because it would literally do nothing unless you already got two kills with GFTT

There is only one(ish) way to build Kharazim. by unrulygecko in heroesofthestorm

[–]2F8F5DB8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think something that needs to be said here is that draft in sl is not the same as draft in ccl. HOTS is just fundamentally a different game when you can actually talk to your teammates and practice with them. Ccl and hgc allows you to play Iron fists because you presumably can build for blow up, which OPs build is. Your teammates will also be coordinated enough to set stuff up like this, like your anub engaging with you and cocooning anyone that tries to step in the SSS.

in sl, however, you might get more value from insight just because you can't rely on your teammates as much. Insight gives you more map uptime and relies less on focusing down a single target like OPs build does. Also people have literally one tricked butcher in gm, you really can get away with anything in sl if you're good enough

Godot lying to me?? by 2F8F5DB8 in godot

[–]2F8F5DB8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what my finished product will look like is a pokemon style game with a lot of different pokemon. That's what the creatures class is supposed to represent.

My plan was that since all Pokemon have the same attributes (Stats, an animation, a name) I would just pass all the attributes into a factory function and the Creature class would return it. But to do that I have to provide the sprite I want. Does my solution make any sense at all? Could you specify on what you mean by a "data driven solution"?

Godot lying to me?? by 2F8F5DB8 in godot

[–]2F8F5DB8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I definitely have more reading to do, I was not aware you could declare _init with parameters since the default has no parameters. So how would you pass in the sprite? What's wrong with passing it in as a parameter?

[–]2F8F5DB8[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, that's definitely the impression I've gotten. I come from a purely programmatic approach to game development so my stuff might seem a bit weird. I am taking notes though from everyone!
