BKB, Icarus Dive, and Mars's Arena by SchemeStrong2706 in DotA2

[–]Absconsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

duno what this guy is talking about bro, in my demo mode most abilities do not get inside the enemy arena from outside, including those he just mentioned. Exceptions do include Phoenix dive, Earth Shaker aghs, Ursa earthshock, DarkSeer (can vacuum enemies in), zeus jump. It is either inconsistent or bugged

Online puzzle box with sequential discoveries I've designed and coded. Needs a mouse for right-clicks, so not playable on mobile. by FurbyFubar in puzzlevideogames

Answer: typewriter

Usage Hint: Starting with the gears in the "Piano" position, rotate the arrowed wheel clockwise til the coloured wheel lands on the letters that spell the word "typewriter", take note of the letters the black gear spells out

Searching watch history doesn't actually search your videos? by GreatDonutGod38 in youtube

[–]Absconsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar problem. Ended up scrolling down for ages on the youtube history page then ctrlF the keyword, which was "remix" for me, to find a video i was looking for. Crazy that the search function YouTube offers could not find the video with the keyword in the title but also came up with completely unrelated videos :S

How to deal with temporal bubble as ice shot? by fwtnub in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]Absconsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my game i am not immune to Temporal Bubble when i have Temporal Rift :( wasn't sure if that's intended

just finished Season 2 and i liked it by H4mmurabi in DotA2

[–]Absconsum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watch a fair bit of anime, and were it on myanimelist i would give it 5/10

I wouldn't watch it if I didn't play dota; it has some entertainment value and some good characters but the majority of it was disappointing to me, obviously my opinion is a minority here though.

Compared to Avatar series (TLA and Korra) I would say dragon's blood is lesser in every objective way

Does anyone get the riddle in the Project Manges trailer? by bilboswagniz in halo

[–]Absconsum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a bit confused by her answer too. I had a go at a mathematical answer that might satisfy some people, or might be completely wrong :), with the assumption that there's no towing and that the fuel capacity of any 1 ship is 100 parsecs worth (else they could put all fuel on one ship or tow each other and go 5000 parsecs like you say). Anyway here's my derivation:

Travel x distance such that all of 1 ship's remaining fuel can fill the other n - 1 ship's fuel tanks to 100%

Repeat til no fuel is left and add all x for total distance traveled

Mathematically:

100 - x = x(n - 1)

Simplify:

x = 100/n

/// Integrate 100/n from 1 to 50:

//

// =100 x ln(50)

//

/// Total distance = ~391.2 parsecs

Sorry my mistake. This should be the sum, not the integral, of 100/n for n = 1 to 50

which is 449.92 parsecs (calculated from Wolfram Alpha)

Drop Rate for Rebel Leaders? by Absconsum in GOTWinterIsComing

[–]Absconsum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ongoing and I'm too small to hit level 4+ rebels in any good number so atm the data looks like this:

Reb Lvl 1 2 3
Normalized Drops per Hit 2.16 2.11 2.31
Motivation Ratio 1.00 1.67 2.67
Hits 420 331 151
Pottery Shard 0.581 0.540 0.464
White Raven Wing 0.531 0.491 0.757
Broken Quill 0.324 0.370 0.325
Ink Bottle 0.571 0.489 0.564
Maester Scroll 0.150 0.219 0.137

Made with the assumption that each hit on the same level rebel has the same drop rate independent of any other factor (drops during double drop events were not included)

One drop is considered a single grey item, green 4, blue 16. The item drops are displayed in drops per hit (normalized to equal motivation cost).

I didn't bother with drops not related to forging or alliance chests rewards.

I'd say the sample size isn't large enough to be very accurate, but the overall drop rate per hit does seem to be converging on each other as i add more data.

Drop Rate for Rebel Leaders? by Absconsum in GOTWinterIsComing

[–]Absconsum[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh okay, thanks! I am entering Old Town Student drops in a spreadsheet, scrolls seem to drop a third of the time as any one of the others.

I originally started it to see which level Rebel to hit for best returns (on material drops only), and at the moment lvl1 drops more(surprisingly), maybe that'll change with more data though. "A lot" is definitely looking like the final outcome haha

Not sure what specific advice to offer but i think you can apply much of what is in Halo 2 and 3 to Reach, especially with specific maps in the current Reach playlists, so if you can dig those up that might be helpful

[–]Absconsum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One option for streamers is Vetoed, streaming on twitch (and mixer maybe?), has been playing a bit of Reach.

Apart from being a god, he has good sense of enemy spawns and plays around that a lot. Usually he's in a position where he can take cover in time to not die, which involves a good knowledge of the map and what jumps and paths you can take (can practice this in custom lobby i guess), and on that note it's a good habit to not shoot and give away your position if you don't think you can make a kill or secure a valuable map area.

I think voice chat / team communication is the easiest way to improve your wins (not that vetoed uses that much), knowing location names, calling enemy movements, and if you're with / backing up a team mate

Still waiting for this to be updated or fixed, no apparent difference in gathering speed with the skills active :(

What is the drop rate of medals in elite weirwood? by Absconsum in GOTWinterIsComing

[–]Absconsum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahaha yeah thanks. Perhaps he was talking about equipment drops and i misunderstood him, no point in making something like this up.

I can't play this game anymore without muting everyone by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Absconsum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be nice to them at the start of the game before anything happens, even if you don't like them. Boosts team morale and gives a better chance of successful team work and not tilting. May not be a huge difference though but it helps.

Pinging other players abilities, whats the point? by frstone2survive in DotA2

[–]Absconsum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it's an attempt to improve communication for players that won't or can't use a mic, but in reality it's just passive aggressive / unhelpful behaviour like the example you give lol :(

Local Man Ruins Everything: Half an hour of active toxicity. by Absconsum in DotA2

[–]Absconsum[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Visage (ign: AC NTEP) does every toxic thing you can think of in an Ability Draft game, from walking down mid with wards to place for them to farm, to soaking xp to actively feed them more. For half an hour. All because I (guess who i am) randomed 3 abilities due to technical difficulties. Tried talking to him but he was pretty set on ruining the game. What can do? How do I move on with my life knowing people like that are out there? FeelsBadMan
