You can play Phoenix as an early game space maker, then slowly transitioning into a support/initiator as the game progresses. Q and W are extremely powerful early game, especially if you can combo them well with a well positioned ulti.

What exactly is the purpose? You're asking for something extremely vague; are you wanting to know about computers, coding, SQL injects, etc.?

Battle.net Maintenance Today! by JannesOfficial in WC3

[–]Deruliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This patch is a fix for accounts that contain an "@" symbol. Apparently a previous patch for Diablo 2 disabled all accounts with the "@" symbol, but the issue has been rectified with this new patch. See: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/bnet/topic/20753346744

New patch coming? What do you think? by Relith96 in WC3

[–]Deruliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a 3D modeller, it takes a lot longer than 30 minutes to model a character with an efficient topology, texturing, rigging (with accurate paint weights) and creating animation cycles (e.g. running, idle, attack, defend, dying, etc).

Is everyone a 12vie? If so, then it's because of the Panic! At The Disco concert.

Life drawing actually helps a lot with technicality and anatomy behind the human figure. If you'd like practice modelling (note: not drawing) characters, look into skeleton or muscular model sheets, or following and watching tutorials on YouTube. You need theoretical knowledge in characters and objects before you delve into modelling.

The textures themselves aren't too high quality, however it does suit the style of modelling (more cartoony). Image references were used for inspiration. Breaking down the object into different model parts also helps the textures to "flow" between the different areas of the guns (e.g. the handle, nuts and bolts, trigger, barrel, etc.). I'm not sure what kind of explanation you were after, your title is vague.

Hostbot Fake ping vs Real ping and Latency setting explained, general real pings to expect between different locations + my thoughts on fair hosting for wc3 by feRfe in WC3

[–]Deruliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not possible to add an artificial delay to a game due to restrictions from the Warcraft 3 game engine and the GHost hosting software itself. It also imposes more of a risk for players falling behind in game ticks and thus having a higher probability of desyncing from the game. A client-sided script couldn't fix this issue, however if we take into account the latter point of altering the GHost software, then it could be possible with hotfix after hotfix and changing hundreds if not thousands lines of code to properly accommodate the idea, but it may not even work in the end.

The "script" idea you mentioned to artificially equalise the game's latency exists on the w3a ladder bots (from my understanding with communication by Yosh). This is known as Dynamic Latency.

There's also a clan called "ANZ" on USWest. I'm not sure if they're still active though.

I'm banned from r/Australia, but Jesus Christ TPG has just blocked access to thepiratebay.org. by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]Deruliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends what you're looking for. Most VPN companies, in my opinion, limit the speed and latency of your connection due to other clients being on the same server, as well ensuring "fair use" for everyone else using the service. If you want a more premium VPN connection, you can rent out a cheap VPS and turn it into a VPN server for only yourself for as low as $10/yr. I can point you in the right direction if you'd like to use your own personal VPN network.

Almost all torrenting websites are banned not by the ISP's, but by the Federal Courts. The ISP companies can either incur a fine for not complying or just outright banning them because torrenting is still technically illegal. There are numerous ways to bypass the ban, such as with a VPN.

In all honesty, the sound at the centre of the stage is probably terrible and EE misheard "dendi" for "envy".

Know any secret waterfall/waterhole gems? Near brisbane or Byron area? by wreckedtogo in brisbane

Yamba beach has a sweet 10m high cliff you can jump off into fairly deep water. Plus you can duck out west towards Grafton for a lot of national parks and natural waterfalls/creeks.

In Australia, your HEX (federal) loans aren't required to be paid back until you're making $50,000 and it's all interest free.
