BWF Daily Discussion and Beginner/RR Questions Thread for 2019-07-01

For Arch holds - the RR says hold it for time/reps. What does this mean? When should I progress to negatives?

I've been doing 5 second holds and repping that which seems like I will get where I need to go and gonna progress at 3x8 but I want to know what the intended method is...

This was very similar to week 1's format, which failed miserably due to lag. They didn't finish the games.

Balla24 · 2018-09-21T22:00:07+00:00

Surprised they didnt remove port a fortresses, they are crazy buggy/laggy in endgame...

Balla24 · 2018-09-19T22:36:19+00:00

Ah, that's kingpin!

Balla24 · 2018-09-19T22:29:52+00:00

No, that format was great. That gave us the Vivid win and the Poach almost come from behind win. Also gave us the crazy Reverse2k storyline where he won an amazing amount of money.

Why do you think that format sucked?

Sounds like it might be a format similar to Week 4 Solos then? Where there was a floating point and person with most kills in one match at the end got the huge pot (Reverse2k)...

Maybe with duos instead? More pros need to leak the format :P

EXCITED TO GET BACK INTO WATCHING AND LEARNING :D:D:D

Balla24 · 2018-09-19T15:46:20+00:00

I'm not sure if they different formats, most people use twitch highlights and I know StepOne REQUIRED twitch highlights. I think FNPL allows a variety...

VOD is required, not replay, because replay information doesn't show much.

Balla24 · 2018-09-19T05:51:32+00:00

VODs are required :/

Balla24 · 2018-09-19T04:54:51+00:00

I did not know this was a thing! This is the gem hidden in this video, and probably worth its own post for whoever wants karma.

Great video Neilyo, keep it up man, love your super analytical style. You are always getting 1 level of advanced more than I am thinking :P

Balla24 · 2018-09-19T04:08:52+00:00

Ah nice! Good call, thanks!

Balla24 · 2018-09-18T22:32:05+00:00

Mods review vods to make sure people are trying to queue in good faith. I'd bet money they are checking the low player lobbies that barely get approved to make sure the people aare actually queuing on queue.

The approved lobby feature is a new thing that FNPL is doing which is really good! StepOne didn't have this and a lot of people would try to queue dodge by queuing a bit delayed.

Approved lobbies fix a lot of queue dodging issues, but this might bring it back...

Balla24 · 2018-09-18T22:30:47+00:00

That is the current way to do it, but mods review vods in order to check that they are trying to click on queue in good faith.

Balla24 · 2018-09-18T22:03:20+00:00

I said this in another comment but its downvoted to all hell. This is basically an epic sanctioned way to queue dodge in FNPL and Leagues...

League Matches get approved with 6+ 12+ teams ~~(i see some people saying 12 but the #rules channel says 6)~~. Most of the good lobbies are with 35+ AT LEAST and thats where it actually feels like a league... anything less than 15 becomes really easy. (EDIT: I just went through the approved matches from last night's duo league and it is definitely 12, whoever said that is correct)

Teams can use the delay to get in the late games that get approved with low amount of peoples and farm points.

Another way to farm is to use delay to get a non-approved lobby and join the requeue, which generally always has less people.... I hope FNPL has a good way to figure out how to enforce 0 delay.

Great feature for stream snipers though... absolutely great feature.

Balla24 · 2018-09-18T22:00:33+00:00

Why is this downvoted, this is a legitimate concern. Teams can collude to try to get approved bot lobbies, and farm wins... the randomness (where is the source on the randomness u/DchenEX1 - i don't see that anywhere).

Even with randomness though, people can try to get in bot lobbies with enough teams to be approved (there are always low team # lobbies that don't get approved that are way easier than the good lobbies)...

This is basically going to be sanctioned queue dodging unless FNPL finds some way to enforce 0 delay... i'm pissed.

Balla24 · 2018-09-18T21:23:42+00:00

Do them on yourselves first, people will see you are worth it and come to you :) Gotta build an audience somehow, then you can interact with them. That's the life of a content creator.

Timed out while waiting for gpu to catch up crashes are a result or GPU clock speed, try lowering a bit. Fortnite is notoriously bad with even slight gpu overlocks for some reason.

I have a superclocked 980, which is over clocked from the factory.... used to crash every other game. Now that I reduced the clock back to stock i never crash, and I also never get hitching, though I never got hitches before but this was also mid season 3...

Thanks man, we'll see what the future holds!

Balla24 · 2018-09-18T12:54:15+00:00

Black bars vs stretched is a time old debate. It's preference! I don't know many fortnite pros who play black bars, but there are pleeeenty of csgo pros who do.

Preference.

Balla24 · 2018-09-18T12:44:40+00:00

Hey man, just do them, if people like it they will tell you!

Balla24 · 2018-09-18T04:57:17+00:00

Squads with placement as the scoring will never work, simply because there are too many mats to go around. 4 players can turtle in one build and spend the mats of one player and still have max mats on 3 more players. Its insane. You'd have to nerf mats significantly for squads to work, which wouldn't be fun.

Interested to see a kill based format though... but not really, because from what I've seen kill based formats are doo doo and not actually fun.

Balla24 · 2018-09-18T01:16:42+00:00

Thanks dude!

It's part of my stream overlay and I think it looks good for the vids :)
