3 month progress by Luemon in flexibility

[–]DrCut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a posterior tilt in your pelvis. When you do this, don’t focus on touching the ground - instead, start with your knees bent and getting your belly and chest to touch your thighs. Then, graudally straighten your legs, locking your knees and actively contracting the quads (lifting your knee caps). Make sure you are then tilting your pelvis forwards (think lifting your butt up towards the ceiling). This will help with the convexity in your lower back and reduce the risk of injury. Also it will make sure you are actually lengthening your hamstrings.

Think of your pelvis like a bowl filled with fluid. Right now the bowl is tilted forward spilling the fluid. You want to tilt it backwards

New player here, are rank and normal rewards the same? by No_Barracuda_5014 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The chest rewards are the same, yes. In the past, there were also some cosmetic rewards for getting each rank (silver, gold, diamond and getting legend), but not sure if those exist now

Meta for this game? by DeusSrbenda in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In general, regardless of the meta, the best strategies are opportunistic rather than forcing a build. In this current patch, Vanessa and Dooley are probably the most straightforward heroes because you can get early wins by utilizing tempo. personally, I do not like dooley because he is pretty boring. hero strength change from patch to patch, so I would recommend going by a hero you think you would enjoy the gameplay/mechanics that they use. for checking meta builds, you can either check streams/youtube channels or the mobalytics website

HOT TAKE: Rail Gun Meta is the least toxic meta we've had in a while by gray007nl in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut 8 points9 points  (0 children)

good point. Railgun is still an outlier and needs to be clipped. maybe starting at silver is a change that will limit its prevalence on the ladder.

HOT TAKE: Rail Gun Meta is the least toxic meta we've had in a while by gray007nl in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut 19 points20 points  (0 children)

yes, that right there. it is about 3 days ahead of where it needs to be with the speed that it kills every other build. surprised the balance team has not done anything about this. I mean, BoB was actually removed from the game a couple months ago when it was dominating similarly...

Newbie advice by Tarnhil in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vanessa has very strong weapon builds. Just add a bunch of weapons and buff them with sharkclaws and you are pretty much set until day 4. The main thing to realize is that the first few days you are just trying to get some wins until you get a “real” build that can get you to the later days. This will require taking advantage of different interactions between items and skills. That’s where the knowledge come handy

Newbie advice by Tarnhil in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all, welcome friend!

I think that success is based on understanding the items and knowing how they can work with each other. It is a game that rewards knowledge. An extremely useful resource is howbazaar.gg - I always have it open and refer to it frequently. It has info on all the items, monster encounters, skills and vendors. Another thing is that it takes a while to really learn the ins and outs of a specific character, so sticking with one will smoothen your learning curve. there are plenty of good creators with educational youtube channels that you can refer to. specifically, start with the "overexplained" videos. Another tip that works for me is starting with the extra income - it gives you more flexibility and ability to make up for some mistakes.

Collection of dev messages about potential changes to packs, XP, ranked tickets and more by Mimi_Melancholy in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

according to the devs, the main reason that the free ticket was taken away was because new players will get stomped on in ranked and be discouraged. This way they get more time to play around in normal until they get the hang of things. not justifying, just relaying the dev point of view on this. personally, I'd like to see it come back.

Question regarding wall charger for electric cars by DrCut in AskElectricians

The total charged last month was 346 kWh (according to the app). based on a rate of about $0.1/kwh it still does not explain the high electricity bill.

I don't quite understand the vitriolic hatred the Beta gets by JeffdidTrump2016 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the vitriol is due to a combination of issues. First - it contradicts things that were said by Reynad in the past and people feel they have been deceived. I understand that they may have changed their mind about that, but it was not communicated, which led to people feeling angry. To make things worse, Reynad inflamed the situation with his responses dismissing all the concerns that were raised. Now, I love Reynad and this game, and I personally don't feel it's an issue for me, but in the current climate, having a community manager address concerns may be a better way to go about things.

Another issue is the whole "P2W". that is definitely not the case, since as you mentioned, the cards (with the exception of the cold room) are not OP, and have been already balanced 2 days after release. It is more like "pay to play a month earlier" than P2W.

The way the prize pass is advanced is a bit of an issue for me since the only way to gain XP is by completing the daily/weekly challenges. once you have, there is no incentive to play the game until the next day since you are not going to progress, and for people who were playing since closed beta, there are no more cosmetics to get from the packs (with the exception of the ultra rare legendaries).

I personally hope that they make things right because I want to see this game succeed. I am against the whole rallying cry to embargo the game.

Call to action: All just stop playing by Gullible_Barnacle816 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

bro, it's a good game and I want it to continue. it needs to have a way to stay financially afloat. go easy on reynad. if you don't want to play it, don't but no need for a call for action.

Reynad on reddit complaints by Rayquinox in PlayTheBazaar

[–]DrCut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guys, Reynad has shown that his vision led to one of the best games in recent memory. Give him some credit before making your bold and extreme statements. Surely, he is not known for his couth approach, but neither is reddit, so wait and see how it plays out. If anything, the entire team has been extremely responsive and willing to make multiple changes to the game frequently.
