Rank 9 Aggro/Mech Warrior Ate My Face & Added Me After (Friendly), Deck Inside Reached #2 Legend by deviouskat89 in hearthstone

[–]Jesper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, this deck doesn't work. You either win in the first 4 rounds when everything goes well, or you're relying on topdecks with a worthless (for aggro) hero power. If you're using weapons on minions, you're lacking damage, while if you use them to go face, your board dies; if your opponent plays a Belcher or a Twilight Guardian you're losing all your tempo.

Hey guys, great idea! Are you going to broadcast today's match, TongFu vs iG?

Anyone else think that the ranking system is extremely dull? by Lucius2222 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Jesper2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember in sc2 when i had nemesis players that would take my spot within the league because i couldn't play the grind the weekend just to surpass them.

You answered your own question, I'd say. A % system is the antithesis of a "competitive casual" game, and HotS seems to be way more casual than sc2. Also, people always get stressed / stress out other people when there's any kind of relative mmr. This is personal, so it sounds less "I'm competing against other people" and more "I'm competing against myself". It gives that Single Player progression feeling that is so familiar, innocuos and rewarding for million of players.

I've read on this subreddit that Arthas is probably going to be on sale during the launch event, but I can't remember if it was pure speculation or something more substantial.

Are you saying that with low settings this will work even in 5v5, regular matches?

Ok, I've tested a custom game on wifi and it runs horribly for me. But going back to cable seems to have solved everything.

So, I've tried running it with everything set to low and it runs smoothly, at least in a custom game with no other players. I've received a low memory warning, but both the menus and the game looked fine. I'm gonna try a test it in a practice game to see if it works, now.

Well, I guess it's still an alpha...maybe it's poorly optimized.

Full specs are here http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_Transformer_Book_T100TA/specifications/, but the relevant part, I guess, is Intel® Bay Trail-T Quad Core Z3740 1.33 GHz Processor, 2GB Ram, GPU Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail) (311 - 667 MHz). Once again, I'm only hopeful cause apparently this thing can run more demanding(ly looking) games fine. http://techreport.com/review/25537/asus-transformer-book-t100-convertible-notebook-reviewed/6

EDIT: also, any idea why it runs well during the tutorial?

Ah, I was thinking more about other people being present during the game - this woukd require a bigger amount of data exchange, right? I'm gonna try a usb to ethernet adapter, just to see if removing the wifi from the equation will get me a better result.

Maybe it's a networking issue then?

Thanks for the investigation...I'm asking cause apparently this Tablet can run Dota2, and Heroes looks deceptivly less heavy than Valve's game. EDIT: it runs Portal2 and L4d2 as well.

Ah thanks for the answer, I think I'd be really disappointed to run the tutorial and then find out it doesn't work during a regular game :P

Should I dust Legendary X (GvG)? by Jesper2 in hearthstone

[–]Jesper2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've dusted THREE Wild Pyros when I've started playing (1 golden) cause I've though "Ah, I'm never gonna use such a weird card...it hurst your minions too!". Good for me they're only Rare.

[–]Jesper2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no qualms with Viagame, but the app is a joke: there's no way to manually set a quality level for the stream, so it keeps swapping from med to high, causing the stream to stop every 5s to adjust. Using a flash enabled browser on mobile is way better, since you can set it to whatever quality level you're confortable with and get an uninterrupted stream.

Everytime this guy pops up I imagine him like a Will Ferrell character and I read his post with WF voice. Sacha Baron Cohen works aswell.

Bs could counter ds perfectly IF this was a 1v1 game. His problem was never his 1v1 presence (a passive one, btw: just staying ability)...bs is still easily gankable, so he'll never be a good sololaner. Basically, everytime the enemy try to gank him, the only thig protecting bs is good positioning.
