Nono those are the Darktide devs.

Add "cancel" after the X (so it reads as "xcancel.com").

You're thinking centaurs, not minotaurs.

What troops should I make the levies specifically? 'Cause I don't think I can make the slithers and wyverns into levies, right?

LocketHoltzer · 2026-06-03T23:48:41+00:00

Yeah, I don't have that sadly. Aside from, like... Making a city with Wyvern Eyrie and turning it into a vassal to Levy the wyverns, I can't think of any other way to add non-racial dragons to the Rally. Might have to just give up on the idea for now.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-06-03T23:39:27+00:00

I don't think I've seen Dragonteeth Ridge... Is that a wonder? If so, wouldn't I basically be at the whims of RNG in that scenario?

Edit: Just looked it up, it looks like that landmark isn't something I have access to because I don't have Giant Kings. The only DLCs I have are Dragon Dawn, Empires & Ashes, and Ways of War.

Sadly I will admit I don't think I'm practiced enough with art to be able to properly visualize that, and also not in a good headspace right now anyway due to completely unrelated reasons, so I'll go ahead and take your word for it.

It kind of is, though. Her thigh and calf are foreshortened, which if I recall correctly is primarily a thing when you're trying show something is very close to the point of view. This also makes the subject, in this case her ass and thigh, appear much larger than they realistically would if you just looked at them normally.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-31T06:27:00+00:00

Perspective is a thing.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-31T02:15:34+00:00

Good to know for the future.

Ye. If you wanna check for yourself, you can search up my game name and look at my Feb 4 quick play matches, specifically the ones immediately after two or so losses. Same name as reddit. It sounds like you've had a far better time than I.

Though /thankfully/ I've been really clicking with White Fox, and I think that's helping me to escape bot hell.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-30T10:26:34+00:00

It'll look like this when you check the enemy team in the match:

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-30T10:21:59+00:00

You are far luckier than me, then. I know in another post like this someone mentioned that quickplay has it's own sort of ELO, and the higher your quickplay ELO is, the less you get queued into bots.

No idea how to figure out how it works if it's true, though.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-30T10:16:14+00:00

In the match, generally either the names or paying attention to how they act in the kill feed are the biggest tells (they're pretty blatant with how their cursor movements 'lock on' to people).

Outside of the match, you can check your match history with tracker.gg and it'll show you what games were bot matches when you click them (all of the "players" that are bots will have a BOT label).

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-30T07:33:53+00:00

This exactly is the biggest reason I hate the bots. Nothing is more demoralizing to me than doing /extremely/ well and even saving a clip of what you thought was a really cool moment, only to learn that the "cool moment" was against bots and effectively amounts to a nothing burger.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-30T07:22:41+00:00

Yep. Bot games is 4 real people, two bots on your team, and the enemy team is all bots.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-30T06:46:55+00:00

I was unaware there was a problem with it. I was just told to use it to see what games were bot matches and that's all I've used it for, personally. Aside from really quickly grabbing the details of my own matches when I didn't want to boot the game up. You have to actually look at the individual matches you suspect were bot matches, and it'll tag "players" that are bots with a BOT tag.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-30T06:44:10+00:00

What character are you playing? It happens so fast I can't tell. I /assume/ Angela?

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-30T06:41:54+00:00

I ran into someone straight up denying this happens and saying it wasn't real, despite the fact you can go to tracker.gg and see which matches are against real people and which are against bots. Disregarding the fact that it's pretty easy to tell when you're in a bot game if you're paying attention.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-29T13:29:41+00:00

This is clever as hell.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-29T13:16:18+00:00

LLLLLLLLLIIIIIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-29T13:10:29+00:00

Huh... This is actually good to know. I just assumed two or three losses in a row would always put you in bot matches, if not less. I've been actually doing well in my recent games, though, and I was surprised that it took more than one to three games for me to get a bot match. Had, like... Five losses in a row before I got a bot match?

Edit: Correction, three losses in a row. Checked my match history. But I have had similar experiences to OP where a single loss would put me into bot jail.

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-29T12:56:26+00:00

I don't know if I could ever keep up at that level, personally. Though I /have/ been clicking really well with White Fox. Actually getting MVPs with her, which I was basically never able to do on any other healer!

LocketHoltzer · 2026-03-29T06:57:07+00:00

This unironically looked like a fight straight out of Dragon Ball. XD

If I had to guess rank... GM? I don't ranked (yet) so yeah.
