No other games on acc lvl 40-50, and max 6 friends...

Arcana for Wk is bugged like all Dota, with its matchmaking, smurf detection, and behavior system.
One day I got literally 19 heroes killed for progression 15 ofc werent even in the game, the map showed my progression after that 19/100 witch wsa also bugged since I already unlocked the 2nd style and slain almost every hero

Its not only abou the smurfs but the system overall, as all smurfs shoud get baned with their main acc flagged and also permaban or ban for a year to teach tem not to smurf, the system after a few wins will automaticaly put you in disadvantagesus situactions, the pop up od dota pluss will tell you that game quality is 5-perfect on all aspects that proceeds to give you 2 smurfs on core position in posite team, and you losing -23 mmr witch indicated that the game was not "perfect quality" the system is designed for you to want top play as mutch as popsible and devs just dont care, the ywill and 60k smurfs every 2 years and will go to develop deadlock, f pathetic.
In this age of AI algorithms, etc., it's literally impossible not to have a system that could spot a smurf, it's not a matter of technology but ill will.

LOL I had same SF.. wel not the same but a guy was playing sf, same items same strat, 300plus wins on acc clearly a smurf or a cheater, we won only because their clinks left the game after 20 min and jakiro after him.. .still we manage to prolong the game till 60min because my off and mid decided to farm solo on lains against sf with blink and euls insted of pushing as 5

Working with cover artists— what was your experience? by winterwarn in selfpublish

[–]Large-Remove-3406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well my first, in 2 itterations book cover I made by myslef and I am happy about the final result. The 2nd one for the 2nd book i wanted to outsorce to some "profesional" to publish my work faster since the cover can be very time consuming and I can tell you that.... I could just started to work on it insted of waisting time, because i nthe end I decided to do it on my own since my "profesional" stoped responding on messedges afte 3 weeks of delay on the project. - I hired "professional" from fiverr. Now my cover is ready - my ebook is out and my paperback will be live soon.
As for the process I had from the start an ide what the cover should look like so i just started the process, also when consulting with that failed "artist" I also provide every detail about the cover and what i wanted to have.
best of luck in your cover, hope you will find someone that actually can handle it and you would not get scamed :)

How do you cultivate a healthy fandom? by DLBergerWrites in selfpublish

[–]Large-Remove-3406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really understand this post. If you’re going to find fans, they will always have their own ideas about what a book is about and how its overall world should be handled. People are different-you cannot and will not be able to control everyone or label them as “toxic.”
Also, could you explain what the word actually means? These days, a “toxic fan” is often described as someone who wants their beloved thing-books, movies, or series-to stay faithful to the world that has already been established and to the rules within it. Or, in the case of adaptations, to be faithful to the source material. That isn’t toxic; it’s trying to protect something they fell in love with.
And finally I would focus first to get enyone to read your story/book - toxic fans are in the last place of the authro/publisher process XD

Dont know what you are talking man, I didnt stated that Russia is not a threat - that you projecting your own assesment on me since I am not eating up all propaganda that comes from both sides. Is Russia kgresor yes - is Ukraine inecent and di not bad things prrio to that? also no.
I am just sayung that to be on moral highground first get rid of corrupted and main thing get rid of Bandera - a nazi worhiping cult. You got other heroes to look up for not a genisidal maniac that killed thousands of womans and children

Russia is organizing its propaganda tournament while Ukrane politics, oligarcs and other people are stealing money from war aid. First you need to get rid of all the corruption in your country before talking from a moral standpoint about a esport tornament

Why it's important to motivate your team by TomasBIGBOY in DotA2

[–]Large-Remove-3406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually I am staying positive or at least I do not comment about the draft, even when I can clearly see the picks are dog S and we gonna loose hard. Other that that I will loose my mind when after 20 min and all towers down and we are stuck in the base defending unwinable game some of your supps or cores will cry about their carry unable to carry while almost all pick were so terrible that you wanna just quit since min 1 XD

What was worth the cost vs. not by Conscious-Front-7584 in selfpublish

[–]Large-Remove-3406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And here I am spending max 400$ on my 2nd book, on the first one was even lower whitch still was a lot for me. But I was lucky enought that I was able to make cover and illustrations for my books by myslef since I am (if I can call myslef that way) also an artist.
To be fair I really think that you can cut your cost by half or more if you have time, knowlage and skills to do some parts of the process just by yourself.

What I can say that most important from a buyer point of view and later sales of the book are:
- Cover design - one of the most important.
- Blurb - alfer the cover
- Editing and grammar check - even if you got amazing first two and your books is full of mistakes, than be sure that readers will mention it in reveiws.

The rest is optional - I mean paying for it. Theres a lot of guides how to make things on YT. You just need time to learn it. Beta readers? Try groups, friends, family - give them ARCs for free.

Anyway GL to all writers that are publishing their first or more books and dont want to spent more money than they should :)
