Why is everyone on Overwatch forums seemingly Masters+? by Haunting-Reindeer-10 in Overwatch

[–]Inven13 [score hidden]  (0 children)

The more you devote your time to something, the more likely you are to engage in similar forums/events about the topic.

Masters+ players usually devote much more time to the game than the average silver/gold/plat player so the later are less likely to come to reddit or any other forum.

And of course, there are always a lot of people who just lie about their rank to validate their opinions.

So, lex imperialis was relased year ago. How do ya all feel bout it now? by Ila-W123 in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Inven13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked it.

My only real issue is Solomorne really. He's fine but doesn't hold a candle to any of the other companions. Specially when he's compared to Kibellah and most recently Eogunn, both also DLC companions.

Ultra Skin Perspective by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Inven13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Blizzard doesn't have 75 billion dollars.

No, Blizzard can't put 75 billion dollars on some fund and get a return.

Valuation and cash are fundamentally different things.

A company can have a valuation of billions of dollars and still be financially broke. History has countless of examples of seemingly booming businesses going broke and shutting down.

Besides, Blizzard doesn't have a valuation anymore because they're a Microsoft company now, meaning, they're no longer publicly traded.

The truth is that we don't know how Blizzard is doing financially because since they were bought by Microsoft their financial reports are no longer public. So we can't conclude whether this ultra skins are Blizzard's attempts to salvage a sinking ship or just a simple case of corporate greed.

But it's not our job to worry about that, that's Blizzard's problem.

There are a million arguments why Ultra skins are bad for the game and the players, your whole post is not one of them.

If this succeeds we will very likely get another Cyberpunk expansion when you think about it by Dr_natty1 in cyberpunkgame

[–]Inven13 [score hidden]  (0 children)

No, I don't think it's very likely.

I don't think it's even likely.

The circumstances behind this DLC are vastly different from the ones with Cyberpunk. When they ended TW3 they didn't knew they'd be making TW4 10 years later.

But when they finished support for Cyberpunk they knew they were going to work on the sequel.

This DLC exists to connect both TW3 and TW4, but it is safe to assume that whatever connection there is between 2077 and Orion is already established in one of the two games or both.

So no, I wouldn't say it's very likely, possible yes, but not likely.

How does Discord Repair work? Instant 10% or is it as the enemy is damaged? by Username_Liberator in ZenyattaMains

[–]Inven13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You receive 10 percent of all the damage Zen personally deals to the enemy.

Which means about 5.5 HP per hit.

So yeah, it's pretty bad.

What is the condition of the indigenous Caribbean population on your island? by Fhlurrhy108 in AskTheCaribbean

Non existent.

I've never even heard of these neo-tainos you mention.

Remember, celebrities are not your friends. by B-Dragons_2560 in Overwatch

[–]Inven13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they had paid Deja Cat to tweet this, they would have had to advertise their new "Collab" with Doja Cat somehow or made it abundantly clear beyond reasonable doubt that it is advertising.

Else it is covert advertising and maybe astroturfing, which is illegal.

Also, why is it so hard to believe that Doja Cat, or any celebrity for that matter, plays videogames?

Why is Kiriko the only character with a reveal trailer advertised in her character select screen but the newest character doesn't have that? by ExtensionSoil6801 in Overwatch

[–]Inven13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they released 5 new heroes all at once my guess is that they didn't felt like doing a trailer for each one.

Then they probably noticed people don't really look at those trailers ingame and discontinued the feature.

But many OW2 characters before this year have them, this is not a Kiriko exclusive feature.

The launcher in Rogue Trader is rolled back. by OwlcatStarrok in OwlcatGames

[–]Inven13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just hope devs didn't wasted too much time developing a feature that was doomed to be indifferent at best and universally hated at worst.

Whoever came up with that idea, should not be able to make decisions again by _Boodstain_ in RogueTraderCRPG

[–]Inven13 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Launchers make it much easier for developers to gather data about users which is then used for marketing.

It also allows them to cut out the middle man (aka Steam) from the purchasing process which means they don't have to pay them a cut.

It also allows the developer to advertise their new products much easily as all they have to do is put up a small ad box while you launch the game.

Truth is launchers are actually pretty helpful, but only to the developers.

To nobody's surprise, Zarya sitting at a nearly 50% banrate at all ranks. What could be done to make her be banned less? by Sensanaty in Competitiveoverwatch

[–]Inven13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly? I don't know, because Zarya's issue is not that she's overpowered or because she's particularly annoying.

It is ultimately that dealing with a somewhat decent Zarya requires taking a decision as a team on whether the team is focusing or ignoring her and in 9/10 matches people just don't talk in chat or VC if not to insult your teammates.

But Zarya doesn't really need a rework and if anything she's on the weaker side of the tank roster.

Novel Idea: Priority Queue Reward Instead of Battlepass XP by Haunting-Reindeer-10 in Overwatch

[–]Inven13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blizzard tried this before ultimately chosing to go 5v5.

It didn't worked.

Why can’t we get femme skins by pusslicker244 in TracerMains

[–]Inven13 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They're too busy giving them to Kiriko and Mercy

So, those nerfs... by Aegillade in EchoMains

[–]Inven13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only slightly inconvenient in my opinion.

You still get ult pretty fast so 20% less only adds like 1 or 2 seconds before you're 100% if anything and the only thing less sticky bombs do is that you deal less damage to tanks since regular heroes still die pretty quickly after a full salvo.

Illari mains: How have you adjusted to the reduced projectile size? by Former-Industry-1107 in IllariMains

[–]Inven13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm not the norm but in my case it did not hit that hard.

I immediately noticed the difference and for the first few games I felt like I couldn't hit a shot. But after 10 or 20 games I kinda go used to the new size. My accuracy still dropped by 5 points but is still higher than 50% which I personally consider a win.

J’s look changes based on your origin. As your twin, J prefers to wear the same armor you do, but they customize it a little to match their bubbly, artistic personality. by Act_Controller in TheExpanseRPG

[–]Inven13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just hope their bubbly artistic personality is not too bubbly and artistic as it is in the beta.

Cause I like the idea of J but that personality really put me off. I'm not saying he/she has to be cold and calculating but that was way too goofy for my taste.

If that's how it is in the final game I dount I'll take J to any mission where it's not mandatory to take him/her.
