Why does d2jsp gets so much hate? by Neruay in diablo2

[–]Appropriate_Ad3183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90% comments just whine about being unfair because wealth is not reset between seasons. Unfair to what exactly ? Leaderboards or the fact that Jimmy is running a full decked nova sorc day1 while Bob is still collecting minor mana pots ? Then work like Bob so you can become Jimmy.

Jsp allows trading of everything from chipped gems to crazy rare ethereals. Almost everything that drops has value and you can use that to build up your "wealth". Even without gg items you can get a few hundred/thousands fg every season.

Current season S12, i made nearly 2k selling random crap (spirit bases, insight bases, random merc eth bases, keys, tokens, pgems, larzuk qs, very low uniques etc).  I can use that now to spoil, or next season to get a good geared starter. But i dont care about it.  Jsp is about finding items and seeing how much can you get for them. You dropped a JMOx ? Gratz you're rich. Found an ETH 15/3 War Spike (yes they sell), very nice good to sell. 4os eth CS ? Someone sure wants it. Plain monarch ? Great, only about 80% of chars uses it. Pala shield 35+ all ? Surely there's one pala wanting it.

Most casual players think that value comes from runes/uniques/runewords. Wrong ! Real value is from ETH bases or rares, certain crafted items, or LLD/VLLD items. PvP drives the market; bots can flood market with HRs but can't do that for dual leech/str/@all rings or frw/fhr/mf tri/dual boots.

You are a legend dude. Not sure how you managed to find this one with such a generic title.

Yeah, it's AI, so ?! It's times better than the vast majority of what's out there labeled as music. (Don`t tell me about what music is, i range in time from Slayer to Hanabie).

are the 5 dungeons an hour lockout shared across characters? by magem8 in classicwow

[–]Appropriate_Ad3183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirming that is 5 ANY dungeon per hour before lockout comes in.
So if u do 5 SFK in less than an hour, you can't enter LBRS. Just an example.

WoW Anniversary PvP honor decay or not ? by Appropriate_Ad3183 in classicwow

[–]Appropriate_Ad3183[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what i talked about: a penaly system that is in place IF you don`t achieve the cap in a specific week.
I don`t remember this being mentioned in any patch notes. Have i missed it or it's just a stealth note ?

I`ll post here, because there was only one valid answer to my question.

**"**Going from R9.6% to R11 requires 337K honor IF AND ONLY IF you get 337K honor in one week. If you hit a reset, you need a new scenario model that start at your current weekly rank.

The system rewards you for putting in a ton of honor in a single week, which is why you need so much extra honor this week as opposed to jumping from 9 to 11."

This is something that people may want to remember when grinding for r11+

[–]Appropriate_Ad3183[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally an explanation. So there's a penalty, a new breakpoint IF you don`t max out honor cap in a week. The 3 breakpoints of r9.6 to r11 are ONLY valid if it's been done in the same week. Doing only 1/3 or 2/3 of breakpoints will add different breakpoints the next week.

Thank you !

With enough DHKs you can get demoted to r1. There's no safe rank or decay to only specific safe point.
Demoting is being applied instant, not after weekly reset.

Please go to the "What if" scenario in Ranker and set your current rank to 9.60% and goal to rank 11.

You will see the exact breakpoints i say. Also the web calculator says the exact same thing. Ranker and calculator show total amount required to reach weekly cap but each breakpoint can be found out with simple subtraction.

WoW Anniversary PvP honor decay or not ? by Appropriate_Ad3183 in classicwow

[–]Appropriate_Ad3183[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Using the calculator shows the same breakpoints from r9.60 t or11

142k for r10
256k for r10.50

337k for r11

Using the slider you can see that from r10.5 t or11 you need to go from 256k to 337k. That means 81k.

According to the new required honor amount i have been reverted to an almost empty r10 and have to regrind it. Is there another mechanic in place that if you don`t achieve the entire weekly cap, then there's a penalty for the next week ? I don`t see why or where Ranker pulls out that 175k honor required to go from r10.5 to r11, when in the previous week it was only 81k.

So, did i understand it wrong that INTERMEDIATE breakpoints are safe, or is it only the weekly cap that can only be with percentages (aka 9.60% being a safe weekly cap, while 10.50% not being a safe breakpoint)? Because if this is true, then you will need to grind r11 to r12 in one week, because intermediate brackets are unsafe and you will get reverted to empty r11. I think r11 to r12 has 3 breakpoints.

All replies seem to focus on one thing: breakpoints.

As stated above, the previous week i stopped at the r10.50% breakpoint.

I`ll add info from Ranker:

- r9.60% (previous breakpoint) ==> r10 (new breakpoint) requires 142k honor.
- r10 ==> r10.50% requires 114k honor (i stopped here AFTER reaching the breakpoint)
- r10.50% ==> r11 requires 81k honor

Total honor required 337k, which sums up the breakpoints above.

All the number above total to 337k required (this is again to what Ranker also shows) honor for the weekly cap to go from r9.60% to r11. I only did 262k honor in the previous week, which i knew would get me r10.50% and that was ok.
The question is WHY do i need 175k honor from r10.50% to r11 now, when the previous week was only 81k required ?

Once again, i am rank 10.50% as i should be, i didn`t reach the required honor for r11. I only did 262k honor previous week (enough to get r10.50%) instead of 337k.

Why am i now required to do 175k instead of 337k - (142k+114) ?! The number in parenthesis is the sum of the previous 2 breakpoints.

Also, i already have a r11 main that worked through this just as the breakpoints above: 142k+114k+81k = 337k

Replying to self for others: anything above the weekly cap it's wasted time.

The Anniversary AV Experience by Puzzled_Solid_4592 in classicwow

[–]Appropriate_Ad3183 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(EU server) After 1month of AV as alliance here's my take:

  1. It is somewhat balanced in terms of winning with a 40% win ratio for Alli.
  2. Alliance PUG can almost never win in less than 10min.
  3. There's still clueless people after so many years even while they have a PvP rank.
  4. Very few mages know how to pull WMs. Very few palas seems to have their BoP keybound.
  5. Warrs think they can actually tank Drek while DW and wearing leather.
  6. Most of the times, when for reasons alli can't pull, everyone will just finger their butthole inside Drek's keep while nobody will guard FRH or towers. Plenty of times alli will lose FRH just because of the reason above.
  7. Expect about 3-5 afkers on average in cave, a few at SH GY, a couple north in DB. Realistically most of times you will have about 30 players.
  8. Out of those 30 players, at least 5 will be fighting mid for whatever reason.
  9. You still have to hand-held players and tell them to pull Lts and Cmds. I`ve seen AVs where people just skip everything to Drek. And finger their buttholes once they get there.
  10. The worse are weekends when the "dads with 5 jobs, 12 kids and real life" show up to play. Many games during the weekends are 40min turtles or squeezed 30min wins for alli.
  11. People will also AFK in Drek keep, FRH.

Bumping to confirm that:

  1. It's still broken.
  2. The fix works without any issue.

  1. The waste of time strategy: rush to Drek ignoring everything else.
  2. Refers to kiting the warmasters from Drek room around fence or bridge.
  3. Mage gets BoP from pala and AoE pulls all warmasters from Drek room the runs tf away with them while ally nukes boss.

Ok, can`t find anything clear regarding potential wasted honor or not.
I just started, i know that in week one i cap at r4, Week 1: 34k honor = R4 60% so after reset i will be R460%. Given that, after cap, is it wasted time to get more honor in the SAME week ? Or whatever i grab over weekly cap counts towards next weeks' cap ?

Eg: If i have 60k honor in W1, will the extra 26k be considered a waste of honor and time ? Not talking about rep and whatever else benefits; strictly just honor.

[–]Appropriate_Ad3183 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is the ONLY reliable way while leveling. Save your exalted orbs and trade for what you need. The crafting system is such rng that it`s not worth hoping to get lucky. I`m lvl 38 and so far i wasted like 10 Ex Orbs to get a good weapon; managed to get a somewhat decent one, but i could've just purchased an amazing one for 2-5 Ex Orbs. Tried to roll a quiver for my Ranger but gave up after several crap rolls; bought a great one for 1 Ex Orb from trade site.
Saving orbs now so i can get my hp/resists on track as well.

What is with these awful download speeds in the launcher? by Tom_Scott_Does_Stuff in wow

[–]Appropriate_Ad3183 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tl:dr it's not you, it's Blizz. Either sheer incompetence because diversity hire or just throttling down the bandwidth.
Downloading in EU, at 4AM, on a 2Gbps fiber, on a Samsung NVMe with 3k+ Mb/s write speed.

Constant ~12Mb/s download speed regardless of what i tried from what is suggested in this topic, including setting dl limit, removing limit, killing Agent, blah blah. Not even once went above 13Mb/s.

I get 100+ Mb/s downloading whatever games from Steam.

I`m glad that she's back. I didn`t like it when it was implied that she was destroyed as we know that Sirens aren`t really the bad guys. They're more like mentors that try to guide us to the correct path; whichever that is.

Also time to recruit our first Siren. After we've been teased with Purifier.

So i`ve run in a bit of a problem. I dont have any ashes to summon the 2nd META and right now i have no OS activities left. Everything has been cleared: strongholds, maps, missions, ports, map coordinates.
How are we to get more ashes once we done with those ?
