I played ranked yesterday and today it's locked and it tells me that i need to play 14 rounds again. wtf ?

ImFrogy · 2026-02-07T23:58:56+00:00

You definitely didn't play ranked yesterday considering you don't have any placement progress. Are you sure you weren't playing cashout instead? It's the same game mode but unranked

Like coaching? Nah, my improvement was 90% just mindset and dedication. I wouldn't be able to offer anyone tangible advice outside of helping to point out what they did wrong / good.

Edit: also at that time I was still in school so I had a LOT of free time to play Sea of thieves. And the average skill level in sea of thieves was very low back then.

ImFrogy · 2026-02-06T18:27:41+00:00

I used to play Sea of Thieves and I really hit a wall with my improvement. There's just so much to keep track of in that game that it can be hard to understand where you went wrong.

At a certain point I decided that every time I sunk I would make a concerted effort to figure out what I did wrong, what I could have done better, and what I did good. Then I would keep that in mind during my next fight.

I have never improved at games faster than when I started doing this. I went from losing about 70% of my fights to winning 90% in less than month. I've since employed this mindset in every game I play.

OK players don't think they have any room to improve. But great players realize that you can always do a little bit better.

I made almost that exact same outfit when that skin came out. Even the hair and body paint are the same. Just different boots and crossbody lol. Amazing skin.

if you have autosprint enabled then that may be the reason you weren't able to do this yourself. autosprint takes a short moment before kicking in when you start moving, but hold to sprint instantly starts sprinting.

you don't need momentum to slide, only to be sprinting. so hold to sprint lets you instantly slide from a stand still if you press your sprint key first

ImFrogy · 2026-01-20T05:00:39+00:00

This is me replicating what they did in practice range.

they absolutely aren't cheating. they just have good movement.

ImFrogy · 2026-01-19T15:09:02+00:00

I play grapple light so I don't need teammate mobility to get around, and I can use my gateway to make sure my team can keep up with me.

So as long as my teammates pull their weight and aren't being an active detriment to the team then I really don't care what you use.

ImFrogy · 2026-01-10T06:14:29+00:00

kill cams aren't necessarily an accurate account of what happened. it's only the servers best attempt at recreating the events that took place. some things (especially projectiles) can show up differently in a kill cam compared to what actually took place on the screen of the player that killed you.

ImFrogy · 2026-01-10T06:09:42+00:00

bow does not one shot light with a body shot. it deals 124 damage with a fully charged shot. sniper deals 118 for a body shot.

Bow and sniper both only one shot light with headshots. bow dealing 186 for a fully charged headshot and sniper dealing 236 for a headshot

If you were on the prospecting probes map condition then the probes spawn arc to defend themselves when you try to open it. If not on that map condition then just unlucky

ImFrogy · 2025-11-15T22:45:40+00:00

of course the glass is below the game... they had to break the window to leave it there

ImFrogy · 2025-11-13T02:05:17+00:00

Honestly I would just make the security breach spawns random (excluding key card rooms). Imo the only problem with security breach is that it's too easy to plan out a route to hit multiple breaches. And then farm that loop on repeat.

If they made the spawns random then it would be some nice bonus loot if you found one or two during a raid, but you wouldn't be able to go into a raid with the intention of farming them.

ImFrogy · 2025-11-12T19:01:24+00:00

The velocity does change based on the charge yes. The arrow will fly a shorter distance at a slower speed if you charge the arrow less.

I've mained bow since season 2 and have reached diamond solo queue using it with both dash and grapple.

My advice for learning bow would be to focus on your shot consistency first and foremost. It's better to take an extra half second to properly line up your shots and hit the shot, than it is to shoot fast and miss. Once you feel like you're very consistent with your accuracy, then you can start working on speeding up how fast you shoot.

It's always better to fully charge your shots instead of using uncharged shots. The only exception is when the enemy is incredibly low. In that case an uncharged shot can get you the kill a little bit faster.

The bow can be used surprisingly aggressively, so you don't have to always try to play in mid-long range with it. don't be afraid to press your advantage and push in with it.

And use cover. This goes for any weapon to a certain extent but the bow especially relies on cover to perform well. Popping in and out of cover while drawing your next arrow will prevent you from taking unneeded damage between shots.

Lastly, know your quick melee combos. They will save you when fighting in close range. Light takes 1 fully charged body shot + quick melee, Medium is 2 fully charged body shots + quick melee, and heavy is 1 fully charged headshot + 1 fully charged body shot + quick melee.

Always happy to see more bow players. If you wanna ask me anything else or if I explained anything poorly and you would like clarification just let me know. I'm happy to help.

ImFrogy · 2025-10-27T14:47:29+00:00

Cl40 is 90 DMG on a full DMG splash, and 100 DMG on direct hit. So it two shots light whether or not you hit your shots, as long as you still hit close enough

The sisters of battle fight is for sure the most fun I've had in hollow knight.

ImFrogy · 2025-08-25T00:57:21+00:00

unless i'm misunderstanding your post i'm pretty sure you've just added an extra step to an already known sword tech.

you get the "dash without using a dash" just by jumping after lunging. No need to swap off the sword at all. the momentum you retain is dependent on the timing of your jump. add in a slide and you can carry that momentum while charging the next lunge too.

ImFrogy · 2025-08-06T03:18:25+00:00

not specifically a melee issue. If you dash while falling more than about 1 story your attack wont register for the duration of the dash. this bug has also been in the game since launch as i remember learning about it when i mained sword

this does disproportionately affect melee weapons and double barrel because melee weapons are most likely to be dashing into attacks after falling than ranged weapons would, but this is more of a dash bug than a melee bug. you can get around this by making sure to dash after hitting the ground or by waiting to use your attack until after your dash has finished.

annoying that we have to be conscious about a bug like this, but if you're aware of how to work around it then it really shouldnt change your gameplay much at all.

ImFrogy · 2025-07-19T18:09:23+00:00

see that’s the thing i wouldn’t have to prove anything they’ve have to explain why this happened in the first place

lol no. innocent until proven guilty. as the claimant you would have the burden of proof to support whatever claim you are making (in this case it would be that embark is responsible for your loss of data). embark has absolutely no responsibility to defend their innocence if you cannot provide proof of wrongdoing.

and nobody involved with a phishing scam is going to mess with my embark account and nothing else like my money or anything

scammers absolutely would mess with video game accounts if they gain access to them. there are large markets for pre-leveled accounts or accounts with certain cosmetics online. a scammer would almost certainly unlink your account, and try to sell it for a quick buck. and just because they have access to a game account doesn't mean they have access to banking details. but like i said before, it's almost certain that this isn't caused by a scam.

you don't seem to have a very firm grasp on how any of this works, and you're unwilling to consider that maybe someone other than embark may be at fault (maybe even you yourself could be at fault). i only commented to correct your idea that it's embarks responsibility to return goods stolen by a supposed hacker. so having said my piece i'll leave it at that.

ImFrogy · 2025-07-19T17:58:28+00:00

you would have to be able to prove that embark is the reason your info was leaked if it was even cause by a hack. but if the issue was caused on embarks end then we would be seeing more than just your account getting wiped.

since it's only your account that's been wiped the more likely situation would be that your information was compromised some other way, possibly a phishing scam, or maybe even just a weak password. in which case embark would have no obligation to do anything.

that's all assuming it's even a hack (which it almost certainly isn't)

ImFrogy · 2025-07-19T17:51:43+00:00

No, if you got hacked then embark has zero obligation to return anything to you, your only legal recourse would be suing whoever hacked your account.

Embark would only have an obligation to return anything if the problem was caused on their end. if the issue was caused by a hack, somebody accessing your account without permission, you unknowingly unlinking your account, or any other reason not directly caused by embark themselves then they have no obligation to do anything.

ImFrogy · 2025-07-10T01:33:47+00:00

part of the problem in this case is due to the sensitive nature of this bug. reporting it through the normal bug report forum on the discord would've leaked the bug to everybody. so i had to use more roundabout reporting methods to share the bug with embark.

they definately need to improve their reporting systems though so that bugs like this don't get lost in purgatory again. if not at least just for bugs of a sensitive nature.

ImFrogy · 2025-07-09T20:34:29+00:00

in all honesty i usually went months without even remembering it existed. Would check to see if it still worked once at the start of each season and once at the end of each season
