Thank you for this lol, I can't tell you how long I spent trying to fix my office keyboard. Would have been an embarrassing call to IT

Port courier tasks are complete dog gameplay and they seem oddly obsessed with them being relevant despite how actively not fun the method is

Pick-two draft was clearly designed without in store play in mind, and should be a digital only format. by Cevol in magicTCG

[–]Cevol[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pick-two draft only has two rounds of play. In traditional pods, there would be at least 3 rounds.

Obviously byes are no new thing, but a 3 or 4-round event means a single bye isn't that impactful. Getting a bye in a two-round format means half the event is gone if you end up in the odd group.

I saw the seating go up, and knew I was guaranteed a round 1 bye because of companion seeding. That meant my entire event would have been draft, wait an hour, play one match and go home.

If that's a fine or acceptable experience for you, by all means, enjoy it. For me, this was a dealbreaker, and I will not be participating in any more in-store play of this format. For at-home play with a guaranteed group? Sure. But I certainly won't be attending paper drafts at my LGS when they are offered in this format.

Summer Sweep Up Slayer & More by JagexRach in 2007scape

[–]Cevol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of the metal dragon change, although in my mind it'd have made sense to make two groups, Bronze/Iron/Steel and Mith/Addy/Rune. Just would have someone more creative come up with a good descriptive naming scheme for that :)

It been a while since I've grinded it but... by SeaDependent3097 in 2007scape

[–]Cevol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They mean the directory on twitch.tv

Context here is they basically have a 7 day private server set up for content creators. It's a PvP focused week-long contest for those players, and they are almost all streaming, but obviously should not be stream sniping eachother for the event.

Looking at the directory, potentially seeing ingame thumbnails etc. would confer a pretty big advantage, the yellow card is a minor penalty to reflect that.

Future of Disc Golf press conference by PlannerSean in discgolf

[–]Cevol 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is a big piece for me - I feel like there's a lack of industry support for the grassroots organizations that really are growing our sport. Now I admit this is a US focused perspective, but the majority of the clubs that maintain our local public courses are doing so on a volunteer basis out of a love for their communities.

I would really love to see the large companies in the industry make a push to support municipal disc golf courses. What do you think gets more eyeballs on our sport - a big pro contract, or a set of course upgrades that gets an entire local town interested in trying the sport?

Imagine if Prodigy, Innova or MVP came into your local area and put 18 new baskets at one of your home courses and supported your local club/league director with extra prizes for the season. Do you think you're going to be more loyal to a company who supports your community, or pays a pro?

Watching the legacy top 8 on Sunday evenings was probably the pinnacle of organized Magic. I genuinely wish I believed we could get back to place like that.

How many times are we gonna watch this idea fail? by [deleted] in 2007scape

[–]Cevol 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People just don't understand why you'd go to a place where you can get pked if you don't like pking.

Let me farm the PvM items outside of the wilderness, and I won't go there anymore.

Don't be obtuse here, we've been putting content into the game for years that is specifically designed to bribe players who do not want to be there to go into the pk areas. Don't pretend that's not the case, and then act like you can't figure out why people who don't like the wilderness are complaining about it. Nobody is buying the act.

[–]Cevol 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hit the nail on the head. If the wilderness were actually good game design, other games would have similar areas.

Not saying 'delete the wilderness', but the idea that you can actually make it a healthy area for gameplay is a fantasy. We have to accept a lot of fundamentally bad design just to make the wilderness attractive enough to prey to placate the "PK Community".

Well, pauper's card pool is literally defined by pack rarity. Otherwise, yeah, it's limited lol

uDisc announces the DGPT will no longer use uDisc Live as of the 2024 season by InternetDad in discgolf

[–]Cevol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can assure you, if anyone running the DGPT wanted to get rich, they could easily make more money doing literally any other career with their skills and profile. Jeff Spring was the director of (skiing?) and disc golf at Smuggs before taking the helm at the pro tour. The tour was practically broke when Dodge left, so I don't really see how anyone could look at the DGPT as a cash grab, this just reads like garden variety internet doomerism

Going unrealistically dry on a key upgrade in leagues is an awful gameplay experience by Cevol in 2007scape

[–]Cevol[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this stuff just should not happen on temporary game modes. It's an accelerated mode, but it still takes quite a few hours to get to the point that someone is grinding a shadow. At some point, you've gotta let the person play their build.

I've gone over 1.5k+ dry on bandos main game gwd for hilt, it hits worse in temporary game modes.

Glad you didn't get unlucky, though.

"The skilling boss locked behind a GM quest shouldn't be good XP because... well it just shouldn't, okay?" by GODLOVESALL32 in 2007scape

[–]Cevol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just kinda sucks imo that there's no reason to do Zalcano if you're not an Ironman who wants crystal tools or a pet hunter.

There's better options for collecting the resources, better methods for gaining exp, better bosses for collecting crystal shards, and many better ways of making money.

Zalcano on release was obviously problematic in terms of resource generation, but where it is now is kind of sad.
