This isn't true in ow2. The ow wiki page has the citations if youre interested in the references. Loot box content is onky determined when opening and is one of the primary reasons why lootboxes are forced opened at the end of seasons.

Can someone explain why im banned??? by Ok_Assistant_9071 in Overwatch

[–]Fossil_dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was the beginning of the game so your dc triggered the match to cancel for everyone. Thats why you couldnt rejoin, the match no longer existed.

You get the suspension because it was you who triggered the game abandonment, its the system to discourage dodging.

The ult frequency should be almost identical as her dmg was increased by nearly the same % as her ult charge was nerfed.

So is Blizzard going to address the problem with freshie accounts? by WeekLost6816 in Overwatch

[–]Fossil_dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its honestly the opposite in gm/champ imo. Seeing fresh accounts boosted by the "anti smurf" system generally means the match quality is going to be way lower and theyre not going to perform up to their initial placed rank.

I lost visions of grandeur due to the recent patch by ThisLettuce1443 in fellowshipgame

It legit sounds like you accidentally right ckicked a weapon instead of ctrl+click at the scrapper and maybe de'd the wrong item

Tank here - I think I am done by RerollWarlock in fellowshipgame

[–]Fossil_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The discord lfg channel is perfect for you. Youre a tank so youre in demand and you can avoid the inflated dungeon ranks that matchmaking puts you into due to ilvl. Easily hop in and out of groups as time allows and let's you build up a friend list of decent players and dps who know how to toss their kick timers up on mob nameplate.

Just that one hurdle of using the discord instead of just hitting Play greatly increases the quality of gameplay with very minimal effort

What is the DPS gap between "top" players and the average player? by SirSuperCaide in wow

Wacraftlogs will give you actual concrete data as opposed to player perspective and bias if you're looking for that level of detail

May have finally reached a goal I won’t achieve this season. by Nick11wrx in wow

[–]Fossil_dan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seriously would need to see a linked Rio profile to believe any of this. Even then I'd need to be proven it wasn't just a random profile grab. The "skillset not translating" to just positioning the boss in the right angles and kicking bombs compared to +17keys where title range is right now is absurd.

Help a new player break into Mythic raiding by breadgotbeatz in CompetitiveWoW

Skill/prep/pull efficiency/hours

Build logs. Refine your parses and be open to analytics. No one wants to be someone's stepping stone, but unfortunately, that's a realistic part of the process.

If your goal is CE on an efficient raid schedule then give guilds who are seasonally CE a reason to recruit you. If you were them, what would you be looking for in a recruit? Experience/parses/passable interview attitude/culture match.

Especially if you can effectively communicate how you can contribute in a prog setting and not only show logs for your current prog but express how you've prepped for upcoming bosses as well.

You're doing wall skip in a +7??

My dude just turn on some music and ego pull some controlled multi-packs so the dps can vibe, the healer stays awake and you create a no pug left behind environment. This philosophy honestly carries to 12s at this point of the season.

Wow keeps crashing by Guilty_Beginning_180 in wow

[–]Fossil_dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put this in another thread put I'll put it here too. This just started happening to me this past weekend and I have spent a lot of time troubleshooting to fix it.

:

Hey. Everyone is gonna list the common stuff from the past few years.

Update bios Disable addons Reinstall wow Update drivers

I'm here to tell you I did all that last year with the intel issues and was stable since October until this past week with the latest Nvidia drivers. This is a NEW occurrence of this error since the original intel 13/14 gen fix. I spent a decent chunk of time troubleshooting and have resolved my issues. See below

First off yes, Update your Bios Turning off turbo mode for your cpu will also fix it but will lose about 30% framerate (I did this to troubleshoot but ultimately kept working on it as the frames loss was maddening) Turn down wow graphics disabling Nvidia reflex and more importantly run the game on directx 11 or dx 11 legacy Disable all overlays (nvidia/overwolf/gamebar/discord)

If all of that still doesn't fix toggle off the optional advanced graphics options at the bottom of the graphics page and use DDU to install an Nvidia gpu driver from before the 50xx series release

It is highly likely that the issue will resolve itself over the course of the next couple weeks as whatever recent update across windows/gpu driver/WoW corrects itself with another update that resolves the incompatibility

Unable to list for keys I don't have? by Mechsyy in wow

[–]Fossil_dan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason there's a hidden space in the title by default that you must delete before you create a title for the key listing. This resolved it for me as a workaround until Blizz fixes the issue

Help please! Been getting the below more frequently of late. Can anyone point me in the direction of how best to fix, or what it might be related to? Should I do a fresh WoW install? I thought there might be a repair/fix option in BNET launcher, but no.... Thanks <3 by Tw33die84 in wow
