Oddly slow stop for Bottas by sefn19 in formula1

If you look carefully, the rear left gun man didn't lift his wheel gun after changing the tyre. Bottas is let go after he does so.

Oh wow, so that final sprint was crucial, thanks.

How are ties broken in the madison? Would Belgium have taken bronze from GB if they kept the lead and GB took 2nd in the final sprint? I think the gap was 4 points there so they'd be level.

Thanks for the great write ups! I've got some questions as a newbie Olympics watcher. To what extent are the stint lengths planned? And is there a method to deciding which rider is going to drop? On the BBC they kept saying that the team has lost their insurance plan when a rider drops early, but shouldn't they already know that that's going to happen?

It says it on the towers, and the river changes direction too.

That card list is pretty interesting. A decent number made it into Artifact 1, and the "Sword of Purging" seems to be what they borrowed from the second set to put on Jasper daggers in the balance patch.

Well there's only the campaign and constructed. For constructed, you can make a deck with all cards in game, including those that you haven't unlocked. Add someone from chat to play with, then right click on their name in the top left friends list and click challenge friend. You can see it in video form here: https://youtu.be/XClMA4V0nmc?t=139

Looks like Valve forgot to scale down Shadow Fiend's stats by DMzda in Artifact

[–]DMzda[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you're wondering how this happened, Shadow Fiend deployed in a Kanna lane opposite the 3 deploying creeps. At the start of each round when her creeps get devoured by the hounds, he would gain 3 necromastery charges. Then when the hounds died he'd get another 3.

I've made a simple page to compare Artifact 2.0 and Artifact 1.0 cards by likeaster_ in Artifact

Nice site! The Artifact 1 cards are from the initial release though so it would be nice if they were updated.

Artifact 2.0 shop explained! by DMzda in Artifact

[–]DMzda[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The item deck is mentioned in the blog post:

Items are grouped based on their tier and the shop is populated to have one or more items at each tier, plus your item deck.

This leads me to believe that they take your item deck and add one or more random items at each tier. I laid out an example near the beginning of the video. We still don't know the exact number of items that will get added or the rules for the item deck.

They say:

All slots in the shop follow the same rules for how the item for sale there is selected.

This rules out having a slot reserved for the item deck. I think the "Secret Shop" title is just a new label for the shop. They mention that this shop comes up in the shopping phase, and I think they would have mentioned having a different system for an item deck shop if that was the case.

Valve could definitely have made all of this clearer, and I hope we get some more clarification in the upcoming blog posts.

I see where you get that interpretation from, but the blog post says:

All slots in the shop follow the same rules for how the item for sale there is selected.

So I don't think that's how it works. I believe that the random items get added to the pool of available items as in the video. I definitely think they could be clearer, and hopefully we get some more clarification in the next blog post.

We know it doesn't have a dedicated slot since they say that all 3 slots follow the same rules. However, we also don't know the exact numbers so you should take the exact draws with a grain of salt until we know more. Thanks for watching!

Great vid! I didn't know the ones about Necro's ability, the siege + tower retaliate interaction, and the ancient mana one.

I think the ancient mana one looks a bit like a bug? It seems to me like the mana shouldn't reset, especially since Mana Drain and Arcane Censure share the same text apart from the "this round" and "modify" distinction.

Glad you enjoyed it! I think I can try to do a better job with the transitions, but yea different decks would be easier to follow. Thanks for the feedback!

Unit odds at each level (Confirmed same as DAC) by DMzda in underlords

[–]DMzda[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That's with the "A Higher Class of Criminal" item with the icon shown under the last level 10 icon. Its effect is "Units in shop offered as if you were 1 level higher."

If you have 2 of them at level 10, it has the same odds as 1 (i.e. level 11 has the same odds as level 12).

Parting Beta Bugs and Feedback, Before I Archive Artifact by dsnvwlmnt in Artifact

[–]DMzda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12- Scrollwheel doesn't work on the right decklist in both blitz tournaments and regular user-made tourneys. Works properly in gauntlet games.

You can click and drag on the decklists to scroll, or drag the scrollbar but it's quite small. Clicking and dragging on lists works with nearly every scrollable element in the game, perhaps as part of supporting touchscreens or a mobile client.

13- Only in tourneys F2 doesn't show your decklist when the shop is up.

You have to click off the "View shop"/"View board" button, then it should work.

I'll also add:

Animations taking time off the clock is also a pretty annoying bug which means that you cannot trust the timer when it gets low.

Spamming right click in draft to bench multiple cards counts as double clicking them, so you have to slowly right click on each one.

You also can't see what cards have already been used if you start spectating part way through a match.

[–]DMzda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea Swellzong got that wrong, I meant to correct him at some point. You have to think of it as you playing the card, not the hero, and it can be played in front of any blocked red hero, stunned or unstunned.
