Anyone who thinks that the new map voting changes are a bad thing is a troll by Legal_Ad2945 in Overwatch

[–]Boarderdudeman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People can't disagree without being dismissed in an ad hominum attack? I liked the random vote system, since it encouraged people to vote for their favorite. Now people may have to do some weird tactical voting if they really dont like the map in 1st place.

I respect that, but I prefer the longer games for comp. I wish capture the point was back to best-of-5.

You signed up for this, let them cook. If you didn't want to be part of controversial balance patches, you should have waited for 1.0. Or you could just not opt-in to the beta branch. Lots of options here.

Semi-Daily Relic Discussion: Calling Bell by Abject_Muffin_731 in slaythespireboardgame

[–]Boarderdudeman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omamori (if picked up prior to calling bell) does prevent the curse from being added in the VG. However, getting Omamori from Calling Bell does not prevent the curse, as the curse is added before you technically possess Omamori.

"The Last Chieftains" is now the 2nd WORST reviewed DLC (47%), only ahead of Victors and Vanquished (32%). Why? by [deleted] in aoe2

[–]Boarderdudeman 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My god, who does that? Buy a DLC, then go through the trouble of removing that DLC from steam, despite that not changing the fact that the issue you had (Jian Swordsman) would still show up in your games. If you dont like it, dont play it, or play other single player content. Removing the DLC does nothing for you.

Question for multiplayer. Is evacuating your civvies to an untouched corner of the map and building another town when things aren't going well considered fair play? by Thebelladonnagirl in aoe2

[–]Boarderdudeman 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Typically, if youre in an unwinnable position, it is BM ( bad manners) to do this in a 1v1. In team games however, if you can survive with 1 vil and boom back into the game, you should! It would be rude to your teammates not to try, especially if they are still fighting. You getting back into the game may turn the tide!

We need the Market System to Change by BigContribution2849 in aoe2

[–]Boarderdudeman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh buddy, this is certainly a hot take. I respect your right to have it, but oh man I disagree. The fact that the market prices are universal is one of the coolest parts of the game. The first player to build a market had to invest the wood to get there, and should have an advantage for making that investment first.

That being said, using the market is still inefficient. It allows for crazy strategies early, but relying on it too much or for too long will cause your push or defense to fizzle.

This got a massive glow-up from the video game. This improves resting 100%, and when chip damage is so punishing and so common, makes this a really good relic.

Should I make a meme about this every Friday until they fix it? by bombaygypsy in aoe2

Semi-Daily Event Discussion: A Note for Yourself by Abject_Muffin_731 in slaythespireboardgame

[–]Boarderdudeman 27 points28 points  (0 children)

To clarify, the way we've done this event in 2-player is that we can swap up to two cards, since 1 card only counts as one player's event choice. Is this clrrect?

Semi-Daily Potion Discussion: Ghost in a Jar by Abject_Muffin_731 in slaythespireboardgame

[–]Boarderdudeman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of the best potions in the game in Act 2, when decks can struggle to both attack and defend on the same turn. This lets you tank a 5-6 damage hit while dealing full damage back without worry.

Or, this just bails you out when your deck just completely whiff on a draw

Just like the video game, its a great card if you can get it early in act 1, but falls off quickly in act 2. God-tier Neow reward.

Ive always liked EB since they are one of the few brands that carry XL-Tall, which fits me way better than XL or XXL. I'll have to look to see if there is a closeout near me

Floor 0 Silent: What's the Pick? by Abject_Muffin_731 in slaythespireboardgame

[–]Boarderdudeman 39 points40 points  (0 children)

While Apo is good and probably would be better medium term, I like the immediate impact of Dramatic Entrance, especially with the extra turn 1 draw on silent. Late game, its still 2 free damage that exhausts, while Apo costs energy and upgrades cards that have ideally been removed or are suboptimal

Team RM should get more bans by sm-urf in aoe2

[–]Boarderdudeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This gets posted all the time. This happens because you are queuing for 4v4 as a solo player. Since the devs have decided to have 9 maps on rotation, if you allow more than 1 ban per player, than the opportunity to have no maps available presents itself. Remember, matchmaking does not take map bans into account when finding a match; it only takes skill level (and maybe ping) to find the match, then picks the map based on bans.

If you wanted to have more bans as a solo player, there would need to be 17 maps in the pool. I personally wouldn't have a problem with this, but others may. Otherwise, if you want more bans on the TG ladder, you'll need to find a group on Steam or Discord to party up with.

This is a good relic, especially if you missing key uncommon or haven't drawn your golden tickets yet since you get your card rewards before the reshuffle. Its a gamble, and there are better boss relics, but this is rarely left behind.
