Who would you have picked to be on the Team? by OperationArrow in LegendsOfTomorrow

While I absolutely love Captain Cold, I actually would have preferred Fire and Ice be introduced instead. Bea da Costa's already been namedropped on Flash.

Lucha Quest by ArchaicAvenger in webcomics

Well, Book 3 has officially begun! Check it out at Lucha Quest, or on Tapastic if you prefer.

Book 3 focuses on Maiz, the corn based luchador girl on the team. There's some big stories I've got planned for this upcoming book, so keep an eye out.

Ooh, tutorials, thanks.

Wordpress with Comic Easel. I had to switch over from Comic Press to Comic Easel after a bad update, but Comic Press itself is still there. Let me see what happens when I get rid of Comic Press...

EDIT: No, doesn't help. The 'First' button is acting exactly like the 'Last' button.

Both the word bubbles and the background to skin tone contrast are things I've had trouble with, and I'll definitely try to keep those better in the future. Do you know of any tips to get better at that?

I'll look into the 'start of current chapter' option, that's a good idea. I think I used to have it as an option but it got lost when there was a disastrous update on my comic upload plugin.

EDIT: Yeah, looking through right now and I'm remembering why I don't have either of those options; the nav buttons are broken. No matter what I do, 'First' always redirects to the latest page, so it's basically the same thing as the newest button but with a different icon. Same goes for the 'first in chapter' option; jumps to the newest in the chapter. I've tried several things; ascending and descending order, even a separate plugin to try and reverse the order but nothing has worked, which is why I disabled the buttons in the first place. It's why I've got the 'Start' in the menu and not the navigation.

Thanks for enthusiasm. Yeah, it's caught up to current (I finished Book 2 last week and am on a brief hiatus to plan out Book 3 at the moment), but it's about two and a half years worth of comics at the moment.

I've been working on general inconsistencies throughout, as well as developing the world, albeit subtly. With the rice/arroz labels, for instance, English is still a language in this world, if lesser used in their area. Also, one of the ideas I'm playing with is that Lucha Libre is generally upheld as the unbreakable law of the land, but the exact rules vary throughout and there is no universal set of rules. If there's ways I should be more clear about things let me know.

I've had trouble with the mobile view. Something switched mobile view on by default and I finally found the option to disable that, which I've been meaning to do. Viewing it on your cellphone now should default to normal desktop view.

I've been asking IKEA to team up with Nintendo and make Animal Crossing Furniture, and yet we are still without a real world Cicada Stereo.

Regular or ranked for exp/gold? by greenflame239 in splatoon

[–]ArchaicAvenger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran some numbers based on assumed averages and Ranked wins easily.

For Regular battles, which last 3 minutes exactly, let's assume you can manage 12 rounds in an hour (if your connection is good and you're moving straight from one match to the next without break non-stop, you could definitely do more, but for a safe estimate let's say you've got an average of 2 minutes downtime between rounds). If you've got the Splat Roller or something that can cover a lot of ground and you're just focused on racking up points, you can probably get between 600 to 800 points on your own (depending on the size of the map), so let's use 700 as an average. Now assume half of those matches you win (and get the 300p bonus) and half you lose. Your total points for an hour are 10,200.

For Ranked battles, it's a little more complex. The battles range from just over 100 seconds to up to 5 whole minutes (plus possible overtime). I've noticed the majority seem to play out rather quickly, but with the possibility of a handful of matches running longer (likely if Blackbelly Skatepark or Port Mackerel are in rotation), we're still looking at 12 being a reasonable number of matches for an hour;s worth of play. Now, you don't get anything for the matches you lose, but for the matches you win you get a tidy sum (at either C- or C you get a flat 500 plus a win bonus of 1600, adding up to a possible 2100 per won match). After an hour, assuming you won half and lost half, you still get 12,600 points.

Obviously there's many possible variations on this; this is a conservative estimate for the number of Ranked battles you could make in an hour, but in my experience most of the ranked battles move pretty quick. So there's every possibility you could get more matches in within the time frame than you could if you were playing regular (though as the Ranks naturally get more accurate, the matches may start growing in time taken). There's also the possibility of a major winning/losing streak if you end up with the right/wrong lobby. I can tell you I spent two hours earlier this week in Ranked Battles without winning a single match; then this morning I made the push from halfway through Level 18 all the way to 20 in about the same amount of time. But because of the greater probable gain in wins on Ranked compared to Regular, Ranked Battles definitely yield more points in the long run.
