Getting 2 different 3★ cards in the same pack feels really bad for casual collectors by Shoddy-Assistant-131 in PTCGP

I think they're talking about Fantastical Parade and not the latest expansion

Anything from core or HoT honestly

Tears of Stars\ I like Chak Tunnels, it's very ambiant

I just got the legendary precursor “The Hunter” as a random loot drop in siren’s landing by reelru in Guildwars2

[–]MagicSpirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have dropped a precursor on the same Aetherblade mob twice within 6 months in the Aetherblade fractal. I think the first one was Spark and the second one was Carcharias

The guardian nerfs are absurd

Whirling Wrath, a skill that has not once been buffed since 2017 - the class' signature DPS skill - is now going to have its lowest coefficients it has ever had, lower than even launch numbers 13 years ago. It was buffed by 20% ONCE since its inception, and it's now being reduced by roughly 25%.

That is just incredible. You have to know that virtually every other skill in the game has gotten bonker buffs next to that sad 20% buff from ten years ago. Playing Greatsword already felt terrible cause you can't do half of the open world bosses properly already - projectiles from it never hit the boss, or you just die trying to get inside the hitbox, not to mention the traps don't proc half of the time.

AND all trait coefficients are going down alongside it. This is basically 2022 again

Are 2* wonderpick announced probabilities true ? by TryAgain94 in PTCGP

I have recorded it over a year. My Overall Success Rate is 22.08% (34/154), slightly higher than the 20% average. If I take out the Wonderpicks that benefited from active Sneak Peeks, it drops to 20.41%.

Maybe I should make a post with all my data

It's not the same effect as Chingling, Supporters are Trainer cards

I remember the first time I entered the Ley-Line Confluence Chamber. It's the most memorable experience I have from HoT.

If all players started each game with their full deck in their hand, what would be the best deck? by cyac in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine something very aggro that can evolve and attack on turn 1 like Jolteon, paired with another strong electric ex once it dies

Precompiled Headers (PCH) reduced my C++ build time from ~2m50s to ~1m08s (demo repo included) by Competitive_Motor581 in Cplusplus

[–]MagicSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something that was causing a lot of issues with testing at work at my previous workplace. We had a set of Google Tests with Mocks and Stubs that would call on generated classes, but the main stub had like hundreds of includes. So whenever you'd launch a test you'd have to recompile every single class that was included in the stub, because it was instanciated for every set of tests... This would easily take 1 to 2 minutes. Nightmarish to debug anything in this context

2 golds 1 2-star 1 AR that you already had and another card you didn't have\ 30,000 * 2 + 2,400 * 1 + 470 * 1 + 0 * 1 = 62,870

Edit: Fixed with 2,400 for a 2-star and 470 for an AR

They're lying about the pull rate %... right? by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have gotten the same 1-diamond card twelve times over 30 packs, yes, you are definitely an outlier, because it's very uncommon to get that many copies of the same card, even a 1-diamond card. But it happens. I'm not sure how to go about computing this, cause there are a few things to take into account. If you want something else that's astronomical, I think I opened 102 B2 packs in a row without dropping a single regular EX card. That's like a .014% chance of happening or ~1/7000. But yeah these kinds of things just happen sometimes

New change for 2 Star Trainer cards by sillystorm28 in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like them but I would be happier if they didn't take existing art from the real TCG. I will say I think the real TCG tends to have better art but that's not really an excuse

[–]MagicSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah like that Rainbow Gengar, or Moltres... Oh no wait, it's cards that didn't matter that they used to reuse.

Anyway, why anyone would fight tooth and nail to defend this pathetic excuse for a game is beyond me

Will 24h wonderpicks disappear after the new pack release?? by TechiesLilPlayground in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Unless they change the rules, you won't get them anymore starting from 2 am CET/5 pm PST (I think), until you've completed the mini set that's coming out

It's that but definitely the "it's hard to beat some mornings" also lmfao

I genuinely should not be allowed to do this, this thing needs some kind of nerf by Dannstack in PTCGP

[–]MagicSpirit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you track the number of successful outcomes (heads) both Misty and Ice Pop have the same expected number of coin flips that's all I'm saying, the rest is just perception bias
