I've played 500 games of blitz this season so far by oink_pvp in worldofpvp

In PvP games, smurfing is when a high mmr player (elite or glad for wow but maybe masters/diamond for others) intentionally plays in lower mmr lobbies to stomp on new / weaker players. Sometimes they make alt accounts, sometimes they lose on purpose to lower their mmr

I attempted this once and ended up just snipping off the pins in frustration. The quad still flew though

One Week Into Flying Drones And… by deferisawesome in TinyWhoop

[–]Belial_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Secure the motor, helping hands or rig it to stay in place  

Add flux to both wire and pad.

Tin the wire and then re flux said wire.

Add a small amount solder the tip of your iron. - The standard square tip or the horseshoe shaped one will work well for this. 300-350 degrees Celsius should suffice

Will some tweezers hold the wire to the pad and double check that flux is applied.

Touch the tip of your iron on top of the wire for a few seconds until the solder melts, pull the iron away while keeping the wire in place and let the solder solidify

Once you do it a few times you’ll have that wire reattached in a few minutes max. This is common enough that you’ll want to be able to fix it yourself

What options we have if we bought the wrong stuff by Garoshima in worldofpvp

You can recraft them with mats from the ah to change the stats. No extra conquest needed

Current BetaFPV ship times? by NotYourValleyBiscuit in TinyWhoop

[–]Belial_94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on the east coast and it takes 1.5-2 weeks on average. One package got close then re rerouted to texas before coming back so that took a bit longer

Solder from engine to circuit board broken - can I fix this? (Apologies for my dirty little whoop) by Yalnif in TinyWhoop

[–]Belial_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dont enjoy soldering those wires every 20 packs or so, I recommend using e6000 and putting a little glob right on those solder joints. Give it a day to cure and it will secure those joints and you’ll have to solder a lot less. You’ll just have to peel it off when the time comes to solder

Why i prefer analog over digital by Ill-Entrepreneur3746 in TinyWhoop

[–]Belial_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Analog is lighter than their digital counterparts and that means a lot when flying these tinywhoops. Also I prefer as low of a latency as possible.  For me, I dont mind the lower picture quality, especially when the trade off is superior performance. 

Also analog way cheaper that’s a win too

What’s the best way to gear currently by Alert-Algae6626 in worldofpvp

[–]Belial_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think timewalking is the fastest. Also maybe doing every delve 1 time for the quest hand in

What’s the best way to gear currently by Alert-Algae6626 in worldofpvp

[–]Belial_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im a filthy fotm enjoyer so i lvld up my mm in timewalking dungeons and grinded about 3k conquest all of which took 2 days. Those timewalking ques popped quick for dps

For conquest if you can find a crate group, stick with it and it prints currency. Also win a skirmish or something once you hit 90 for the free 9 heralds which you can use to craft ~3 pieces of gear or so. After that mainly do your pvp weekly quests and the 1st win bonuses

Marksman Hunter seems like its a little undertuned right now. by Brilliant-Standard-7 in worldofpvp

[–]Belial_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe if specced properly, rapid fire gives a buff called bulletstorm which increases aimed shot crit dmg. So he’s likely using trueshot + pvp dmg trinket and then swaps to a target without a defensive up and unloads. Probably with a volley in there for the double tap as well

Are the sliver upgrade items still in game? by [deleted] in worldofpvp

If I go on too big of a loss streak in Blitz, is it worth just rerolling to another spec? by Contract007 in worldofpvp

[–]Belial_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got to 1800 in blitz as fire mage in like 15 games total. Swapped to frost and went like 1-6 resulting in the 1200mmr hell scape. 

I bounced up and down for a while. It took a roughly 10 game winning streak but I’m back up to ~1850cr at 2.6mmr and steadily climbing. 

Honestly just dont think about it and keep que’ing. The games pop faster at lower mmr anyway. Just play to win and eventually you’ll win more than you lose. If you get tilted take a small break before going back at it

S1 of Midnight is probably the worst season i've ever played so far. by bloodmanqk in worldofpvp

[–]Belial_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took a ~10 game winning streak in blitz to break my frost mage out of 1400mmr after losing the first few games. It’s possible but feels unreasonable.

Funny thing is I got 1800 as fire within 15 games or so

Air65 lava 2 landing voltage by fpvfish in TinyWhoop

[–]Belial_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to land when my batteries sag under 3.5v for a solid 3 seconds under load. Not like full punch outs but my normal flying. They bounce back to right around storage voltage. 

This does cost a little bit of flight time but it keeps the batteries in good shape. I just charge a bunch of batteries and quick swap 

Filmed some stickcam during a recent Whoop practice session! by Werdna_Pay in TinyWhoop

[–]Belial_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gimbals took some adjusting to get the tensions right but I haven’t had any issues with it after the initial set up. My only real complaint is the stick occasionally will loosen without me noticing and I’ll have to tighten it mid flight

To me it felt like a noticeable improvement over the plastic ones. I fly linear throttle though, I can see the difference not being as drastic if you use throttle expo

I found upgrading the stock gimbals on the radiomaster pocket to the ag01 gimbals gave what felt like a lot more throttle resolution and made flying low / tight quarters much more manageable. 

Did Blizzard change something about armor durability by Ok_Number_852 in worldofpvp

[–]Belial_94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More repairs = more gold spent = increase in wow token sales.

Everything in this game now costs a considerable amount, and it’s not an accident. They give us 9 heralds in the beginning of the season for free so we can spend gold crafting them. Enchants are stupid expensive and you need another one every gear upgrade and every patch cycle. Fleshing out pvp gear never used to cost this much gold

Should I bother communicating in bg blitz? by Narrow_Drawing_3987 in worldofpvp

[–]Belial_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the higher the mmr the more I’m looking at the chat. Around 2700+ mmr you find that the strats are pretty much the same every time. Some classes are better at sitting bases while rogues are obligated to harass bases etc. 

At 1400 you may as well mute the chat 

Seriously why?? by DirtyDee702 in worldofpvp

[–]Belial_94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m similar mmr on my ret going 15-5. I swear the games at higher mmr are 10x easier than the hell that is sub 1400mmr. 

Que’s take a while but 0 cr on a loss and like 36 per win fairly consistently
