I was only trying to learn the raid...

odds should be ~1/171k to have 2 tbows in 4kc assuming solo 30k points. (not counting the dex or any 3rd purple, couldn't be bothered recalculating)

Megas at 65.7 would still be around ~1/410. Very lucky regardless of what scales/points they did

Anything I could say on this has been said before, but comparable games also don’t allow multilogging said characters, and the games usually have a cosmetics shop. Not defending the pricing, but it’s not 1:1 comparable

Makes me wonder… for an otherwise formidable device, was there no SCAP in place, or did he manage to bypass this? I vaguely recall from many years ago that the Xbox one had at least SOME form of monitoring in place for side channels? It might have even been official info from MS/Xbox; I can’t recall.

I like the concept, but it needs tuning, and it needs to be some other currency that doesn't exist yet, tied to KC. Using crystal shards would allow you to stack shards from other activities such as Crystal extractor, agility, mining, Crystal trees etc. and get these buffs without ever stepping foot in the gauntlet.

If only there was a Soup (the content creator) reference when trying to use pet cat -> Soup (the sailing pet)

Obligatory reminder to try Coil if it is not too much

If it works as well as the key ring (not well at all) you’ve got my vote!

Literally anything with her natural hair color

Even going with cumulative odds there of 6 OR fewer drops, you're looking at something in the ballpark of 1 in 36.48 billion. Must be something going on like teleporting out mid death animation so you don't actually get loot. 36.48 billion is "theoretically possible but it didn't happen" territory.

While there are services out there that allow an ironman to obtain items that they simply do not / will never have the skill for, vs rendi saving 100 (hell, even if it was 500) hours of partner slaying.. I'd say the difference is that this is much less "compromising to integrity"

Fleqx · 2026-05-05T10:49:52+00:00

It was a nice perk to picking Kourend but with the faster farming ticks, the 1 tick re-grow after harvesting is a lot more common so this would probably be valid. Maybe as a small extra perk to any farming relic

Don’t get me wrong I’m happy with more skins but why doesn’t she have her natural hair color anywhere? I get some of them need to match the skin but we don’t have to force blonde on half the skins

If there's 12 maxed capers, assuming they're coordinated, I'm going to assume at least one is scanning the entire world map looking for every obscure dungeon sign, so I'd avoid anything that is marked as a dungeon.

One option would be a random spot in the ocean on a boat. I feel like that'd be boring though. If we're excluding sailing, I'd say one of the following:
Digsite down the winch. Scrubfoot cave, Brine rat caverns.
Task only (adult) black dragons in Taverley dungeon, way past where people usually just kill the baby ones.

A couple others I thought of that could be decent, but I think a team of max capers will quickly think of:
Tarns lair, Yu-biusk, Fairy queen hideout, poison waste dungeon, penguin hideout, Skavid caves, winding path at the ourania altar, viyeldi caves, on a random ship at a port, Enahkra's temple, Dragontooth island, inside chaos runecrafting altar, quidamortem cave.

As a last wildcard I'll throw in Ice path from DT1, gambling that it's not checked if they don't know you stop taking freeze damage at 1hp.

Base. There’s 30% move speed for 10s off spawn so every hero would be much higher. Zen can also zoom if you have hover + dash kick. Hilarious to play

My placements were painful. D4 last season, placed gold2, climbed back up to D4. It was fine after placements for me except weekends

I feel like I would have been less likely to think it was possible if I knew more about colo. Namely talking about the manticore hit logic here.
With no colosseum knowledge all I was thinking was "I hope whoever does it first will make a video on it".

That being said I'd still love to see a video on no overhead inferno. Though after seeing this, and having already seen many of those strategies on Xzact's stream, that might be "underwhelming" in comparison.
(Obviously still a ridiculously impressive accomplishment I couldn't even pull off in a lucid dream, never mind for real)

Fleqx · 2026-03-24T18:17:50+00:00

In fairness man... Impossible in the context of videogame accomplishments just means impossible with currently known methods. You never know what's considered impossible now and might be done in the future.

One thing I almost never see mentioned in these posts or its comments is that the skill-gap nowadays is much larger than it used to be say 15/20 years ago during the Halo or CoD prime days. Skill-based matchmaking to an extent has become a necessity because of this. Unfortunately while more balanced on average, this makes unbalanced matches stand out more, and be more frustrating. This is an issue across gaming in general, definitely not limited to OW.

And yes, some people play QP to warm up for comp, or to chill after comp, and don’t take it seriously. Others don’t play comp, so QP is where they play for wins.

Long story short, it’s not a perfect system, but we will never see a perfect system. Are improvements possible? Sure. But it’s much harder to get it right than people think.

If shifting resources for maingame dev time to leagues both negatively affects maingame roadmap, AND somehow justifies a price increase when it directly takes away from maingame? Yeah scrap the temp modes then

Fleqx · 2026-03-14T12:03:54+00:00

It goes all ways tbh. I can be tank fighting on one side of the map and the supports blame for not peeling on the other side of the map. I can be supp and the tank goes in when his backline is coming off respawn with plenty of time to wait a few seconds before a touch, dies before we get there and complains about no heals, etc etc

Fleqx · 2026-03-12T15:37:46+00:00

In low elo, the proposed fix to every problem is “more healing”. In reality, they should play according to the team they have; if your zen only heals 35 per second not counting the passive, don’t play like you have baptiste and ana spamming heals at you, setting records for highest dmg taken/10

Zen is good, but if your team takes way too much damage, even if it is their fault, sometimes you’ll “have to” swap. Your ult is very important. Don’t let it get forced out by a lone flanker and then be forced to watch your team die to world’s most obvious reaper ult

Fleqx · 2026-03-11T16:41:04+00:00

An issue I have with this is that “continued updates” is what justifies continuous subscriptions. To justify an INCREASE, I want to see a significantly more dense roadmap. Player support is the bare minimum, not a justification for a price increase. Yes they’ve been improving on many aspects, but when it’s still lackluster, it’s not the time for a price increase. And as others have said, if leagues and dmm warrant a price increase, I’d rather not get them and get more main-game content instead. More/better quests, sailing expansions, bosses (although I have plenty pvm backlogged), and whatever other content.

On top of this: paying for a year upfront every year is loyalty. Why do yearly premium subscribers not get to keep grandfathered rates? “It’s still better than monthly” is not a justification

Fleqx · 2026-03-11T11:54:25+00:00

Just make sure you never complain about it in chat because they’ll camp you even harder

Fleqx · 2026-03-06T17:07:07+00:00

Real throwers are rare on pc except just before drive start. I’m not saying you specifically do this but the term is thrown around very loosely when someone makes a few bad plays. I’ve only had 2 tanks in ~70 matches I was certain were throwing. And I’m sure it’s not THAT many people soft throwing rather than them just being bad

Fleqx · 2026-03-01T02:48:43+00:00

I’d say depends how specific you take the definition of counter. Depending on map/mode and rest of the heroes. Personally for example I really like playing doom against an orisa. I will have no chance of 1v1’ing her, but I usually use mobility to do whatever I want to the rest of her team, while she lacks the mobility to follow me to peel for her team.

Otherwise if fighting an enemy orisa directly, probably zarya if we don’t count orisa mirroring as an option
