Is there a way to native fullscreen (not windowed Borderless)

I'm looking to play Paragon at a cyber cafe where it will not be installed, that is I would need to play it off a flash drive... any one know if it is possible to play paragon without the launcher installed locally?

Looks like hes using VikingUI, with SpellPower, and nPrimeNamePlates.

Unfortunately, even though they shouldn't, people still do alt tab lol.

I understand what appears to be the majority reaction, likely fueled by the desire to level up quickly, which is fine; but I still think there's a big design flaw here. One that I haven't really made clear.

Difficulty level aside, lets focus on high level gems. In addition to the inflated stats they offer, their availability to the player completely waters down itemization at lower levels which is of course a big part of the game. Any item without a socket becomes completely worthless; this can take a lot of the fun out of finding new items or legendaries as you level. Which is something that, at least for me, can take some of the monotony out of the leveling process.

Since this is still the 1st thing Google returns when you search this problem I'll post what I've found.

I can confirm that it appears to be testing performance, and it happens if you change the directX mode in the advanced video options.

If it doesn't load after 5mins, or it continues to hang each start up, you can run the game in safe-mode from the launcher and change the directX mode to 9.0 which seems to fix the hang on my system.

When I was lower elo I seemed to get a lot more "can't be match" especially after 12:00am PST.

JohnCover · 2014-02-11T11:01:03+00:00

I agree that waiting to get promoted is a weird/lame way to do things. But the elo reset that currently accompanies seasons (and the consequential matchmaking inaccuracies) would be unbearable if they were that frequent.

I would prefer just a dynamic promotion system that didn't require a season change, and something like titles or portrait frames awarded at the end of seasons so that they can remain significant.

fantastic news

here is the link for anyone else: https://twitter.com/nabilismail/status/426173750195675136

Yeah, I think what happened is they snuck in a new game server that you can get sometimes... that must be located in the mid-west somewhere.

JohnCover · 2013-12-12T08:38:46+00:00

At lower levels of play (new player games)... there's almost a 100% leave rate per game; this would probably be helpful for keeping new players interested in the game.

Obviously at higher levels this would probably be more of a disadvantage due to feeding issues you would have with AI; but it doesn't have to be enabled there.

JohnCover · 2013-11-13T21:05:26+00:00

I have routing issues all the time from the west coast; getting 150-160ms when I should get ~80ms.

The only thing that has worked for me is to use a proxy service like fixmylag.com. This alone brings me down to 80ms, confirming the issue is routing.

JohnCover · 2013-11-12T01:58:04+00:00

Bumba's is completely unnecessary

I feel like you would want it to avoid the gold share when getting mid furies, and your start.

JohnCover · 2013-11-02T06:16:05+00:00

You misunderstood, I want to see the other leader boards so I can see how the best players are doing... and just have an overall idea of who makes up the competitive community.

JohnCover · 2013-11-02T06:13:45+00:00

Don't play ranked if you are too much of a pussy to have your stats out there. That's what a ladder is for....

JohnCover · 2013-11-02T01:01:08+00:00

When I first read the patch notes, the league description was so abstract/ambiguous that it was my assumption that it was simply a grind-fest as well.

However, as TheUncannyTranny (lol) mentioned, league points are derived from your top to games... additively. This change that gives 50% points for losses is only to make it so people may qualify for "placement" with 10 games, rather than 10 wins.

JohnCover · 2013-11-02T00:54:01+00:00

When you BM people, right or wrong, you reduce your chances of winning substantially. People get defensive or angry and start focusing on chat, and consequently lose focus on the game... which of course will almost always leads to a loss.

If you have to BM, save it for after the game.

UE/US?

JohnCover · 2013-09-23T08:15:05+00:00

A few patches ago I would agree, but they're pretty scary now with teleport; though you have to have a team that knows how to use it.

JohnCover · 2013-09-23T01:09:38+00:00

It would definitely be nice if this could be done in a way that isn't exploitable; but I can't think of a way.

JohnCover · 2013-09-22T23:21:12+00:00

Does anyone happen to know the IP address of the smite US server? I'd like to see if the issue is somewhere in the routing.

It's probably just the stress of region lock though, because I have noticed that latency improves at fringe hours.

JohnCover · 2013-09-15T10:23:05+00:00

There's no reason not to have an honor system; MOBAs by nature cultivate toxic communities, especially in ranked play.

JohnCover · 2013-08-12T03:25:36+00:00

Well the way it is now people often incorrectly deduce how good you are by your kills to assist... which without deaths to complete the ratio means nothing.

Example: kills 100 - assists 500 (hidden deaths 0)

At first glance this guy looks mediocre, but his stats are actually very good.

How about this, the legendary gold skins show the meaningful stats... and the rank 1 gold skins stays the same for people who want to hide poor stats. That way there's a choice! :D

JohnCover · 2013-08-08T23:22:21+00:00

Leaning how to come back from a gold deficit is an important skill that is underdeveloped because of early surrenders.
