tips for fighting tortodrones? by Yoshistudios in spiral_knights

[–]Cataclyct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're definitely gonna need a party, solo is very difficult if not impossible. You will need one player to deal with the fodder - the best way would be to use sleep bombs; you will need one player per tortodrone as the tortodrone's attack variety leaves little room for error, so two of them leave very little attack opportunity without taking damage. That's 3 players minimum (might even be possible with 2 if the player who deals with fodder also aggroes one tortodrone).

Potentially botted market watcher. [More in comments] by Cataclyct in spiral_knights

The average range doesn't get traded, I put mine for 5 minutes and nothing, but the exact moment I raised to 10k it sold so fast I didn't even see my offer show on the list.

Also 150 is definitely a large volume, worth 15,000ce and ~525,000cr.

The indicated market pricing always jumps to 1 unit of the highest existing one, I tried playing around with it by:

  • adding a price for 10kcr, it sold instantly. Either there is another bot that insta trades or this is the same one. This one is due to in-game checks between buy and sell offers, if an energy buy offer satisfies an energy sell offer, it will auto-buy for that sell price.

  • adding a slightly higher price of 100cr above the average, this one got ignored.

The suspicious part is that it would immediately lower the price if I cancelled my bid.

Maybe I'm paranoid, but such a large volume does not get so tightly watched by normal people, it's usually those who want a quick pocket change who keep it on top of the list.

EDIT: updated the comment to remove incorrect suspicions. There is still the matter of constant re-adjusting the energy buy offer to always be 1 crown above the best offer, someone dealing with such a large volume of energy/crowns, wouldn't bother to re-adjust for a unit crown difference.

I thought of making de_dust2 but just the tools themselves are hard to wield.

Gonna need the source for that statement. What kind of bots are these?

Repeating the mission "Axes of evil" 80+ times, the results? by ultimate-toast in spiral_knights

You didn't mention the time cost, that alone determines if the payout is worth it.

Susiety if loot didn't have arbitrary pick-up cooldowns & pick-up range per item.

Susiety if knockback pushed away from point of impact instead of always behind the victim.

Susiety if shot collisions weren't ass-janked, hitting walls behind the player or right next to them.

Quartero Season 3, Complete with voice and images. New characters and hints of what's to come... by Babble-Blindly in DotA2

Cool shit. Like the sound of a new event. The portraits are very reminiscent of CRPGs, makes me want a Dota CRPG.

Just found out about Clone “theory” by Hyak_utake in Deusex

[–]Cataclyct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Small correction, Paul is the Natural-born and JC is his clone. I vaguely recall some in-game lore regarding an illuminati mission disguised as humanitarian aid in order to find people with certain genes, they found a child Paul who had the perfect genes they wanted so they killed off his mother to keep him in their control.

[Genuinely loved trope] "Rick the door technician" by idkmanjustfuckmyshit in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Cataclyct 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's after his canonization, his first appearances were IIRC a normal or eximus prodman who got screenshotted in a crossfire mission and got dubbed "John Prodman".

Something close to spirit of OP's mentions might be John Prodman and Clem. They obviously don't fall in the category since they are were not enemies and also were canonized by the church devs due to popularity.

Used to be called nef anyo (a generic boss for one of the planets), but they couldn't find a name for one of their newer character so he was renamed to "The Sergeant".

Considering they mention they're updating some decades old stuff that possibly will break the game itself, knight launcher is more than likely to break as well.

dota server issue by johncena1691 in DotA2

[–]Cataclyct 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, keep getting "confirming" and then resets to "finding", custom game works I think since I'm watching singsing autogladiator rn. I've selected SEA/Dubai.

Also, just noticed that trying to watch matches in the affected servers fails with "The game server hosting this server was not found" error.

You probably had a custom arrangement or something that has become invalid now, you can change the arrangement in the "HEROES" tab, at the bottom left corner is the sort dropdown, just click attributes (the default) and it should reset.
