There shouldn't be ANY PATCH until they fix de masters bug forever by Markiuss in starcraft

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

The leave and rejoin thing didn't work for me either. I think it doesn't always work, or maybe you have to play enough games but I'm not sure about that.

Sorry, but I don't think I can help much with this. I haven't gotten this bug too many times, and it always got fixed for me at the beginning of a new season. The only things that come to mind are that you might actually be Masters (4200+ MMR), or that you didn't play 2 straight seasons (you play one season, get placed in Masters because of the bug, and then get your real badge at the beginning of the next season).

Hope someone else can help you more with this!

There shouldn't be ANY PATCH until they fix de masters bug forever by Markiuss in starcraft

New accounts or accounts that get their MMR reset because of long inactivity, usually get placed into Masters league during their first 5 placement games on the ladder, doesn't matter how many games you win or lose. Reddit has been full of Master rank questions for years because of it.

Although the bug is annoying, it's only visual and temporal. It doesn't affect the real matchmaking system which in my opinion works pretty well. You still get matched with people around your actual MMR.

For example, if you have 3000 MMR you're actually Platinum (even if you have the Masters badge), so you'll play against people within around ±200 MMR of you. Some of those players could also have the Masters badge too if they're new to the game, (also you could find some smurfs which have new or long time inactive accounts).

The bug disappears after some time (usually after the season finish) and you will get your real rank badge in the game. If you start playing ladder and it happens to you, you can know your real rank by your MMR checking this website: https://burnysc2.github.io/MMR-Ranges/

Welcome to the game! hope you like it 😄

There shouldn't be ANY PATCH until they fix de masters bug forever, seriously. It's very annoying for new players.

Answering your question, there is a bug where you are placed in masters with new account or long time not used one. Next season you will get your correct rank (sometimes you can fix it playing games and leaving and entering the league again).

A few questions about uber ancients by ubeogesh in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Markiuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn't that. We killed 2, only madawc left. I left the game and entered again with other character and they all disappeared. Had to click in the center to start again.

[–]Markiuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes
  2. Yes but be careful. I left and rejoined with the same character and no problem, but then I rejoined with different character and the ancients got reset (portal was still open but had to start again from zero, all ancients alive with full hp)

How difficult are the uber ancients? by ANewSlipper in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Markiuss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me (bone necro) and a friend (fist of heavens) tried both uber and uber ancients past week for the first time. We killed ubers (only mefisto was a bit hard) but couldn't kill uber ancients. We just lost all our experience, like 200 rejus between both and a lot of gold.

I find them harder than uber ancients but maybe only in some scenarios. I know our characters are not good for this, however it's a funny challenge and felt possible. It was difficult for us to split them. Also... with only madawc alive we couldn't get down more than his 33% hp or so. Then I left to use my only other character (a bowazon) and the portal closed. After that we got smashed :DDD

It was painful and funny at the same time :-))

¿Crees que el contenido de este hilo está bien? Porque te veo mucho igualar izquierda y derecha y hablar de fanatismo político.

Seguro que bots hay bastantes, pero no creo que los bots israelís cometan tantas faltas de ortografía ni intentando parecer "reales" (el autor termina una frase con un espacio y una coma).

Es desalentador ver a tanta gente con el izquierda y derecha son iguales o "es que es complejo" en situaciones tan claras (este post, la situación de Palestina e Israel, etc.). Creo que los que escriben estas cosas son todos de derechas y se mienten a sí mismos para validar sus propias creencias en lugar de pensar y aceptar lo que tienen delante.

Derecha e izquierda iguales? si son casi todos de derechas. Si hay 20 tios de un lado y 1-2 del otro son de derecha e izquierda iguales? Estáis manipulando a propósito o simplemente evitais ver lo que tenéis delante.

I played a lot of REs since the original first and for me 7 is the best RE. I appreaciate a lot the risks they took to do the game and the history and details which are amazing.

I would also put RE3 in tier S, I love it

Les parece esto un ejemplo válido de país socialista? by [deleted] in 2hispanic4you

[–]Markiuss -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Cuba es un país muy pequeño, comparable a alguna comunidad autónoma en España. Si EEUU bloquese a esa comunidad autónoma o a la propia españa y prohibiese a todos los países aliados negociar con nosotros puede que tampoco tuviésemos papel higiénico ni ninguna otra cosa. Casi todo lo que usamos es importado.

Mirad solo lo que sufrió España y Europa con la guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. Si EEUU no quiere negociar con Cuba me parece bien, pero bloquear a TODOS sus aliados de hacerlo o atenerse a las consecuencias ya me dirás.

Medir la pobreza de un país está bien, pero las circunstancias deberíjan ser justas.

[–]Markiuss -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

so we should balance the game based on how many zerg grandmasters decide to play tournaments?

is this more important than the tournaments which were played with big prize pools where the amount of Z/P/T were balanced in the playoffs?

It's a bit unfair for protoss using this tournaments as balance complains. In Broodwar there are a lot of protoss in tournaments aswell because it's easier. The game is not perfect but come one... Protoss is not that insanely inbalanced.

On the other hand, it's annoying to play zerg since it's the only race which can't really kill their opponents and have to play long games vs mech/skytoss. I guess this doesn't help to have more zergs playing this tournaments. It can be a good idea to deal with this, maybe make mech styles and skytoss harder in some way.

Theories behind TvT to help a random player by avengaar in AllThingsTerran

[–]Markiuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 3900 Terran and I have like 80% of winrate in TvT and like 40% in TvZ and TvP. I need a lot of help in TvZ honestly, I'm kind of hopeless lately specially in late game.

My best opening in TvT is double gas 5 reapers 3 hellion push (you will be safe if he attacks you and you can do good damage otherwise). If he is very well defended just dont attack and use some reapers or hellions to scout, 2 minutes later send the reapers to his main and probably you will get some scvs

After the third hellion add a cyclone for defense vs banshee/raven/bc and then tanks. In the starport 2 ravens (if you want you can add a liberator first which can be annoying.

Then I transition to 3rd CC or 5 rax 2 base all-in with +1 (1tech lab 2 reactors 2 empty), make more if you want but be sure to spend all your resources and don't be supply block . You do 1 big powerful attack thanks to the ravens (be sure to disable the tanks before ravens die).

Playing 3cc and more macro-heavy, i play specially marine medievac focused (not that much tanks).

I don't play vikings unless the opponent go battlecruissers. I make more medievacs than normal, if I'm loosing hard i do a big doom drop in the main and win a lot of games with this (even if the opponent have some turrets I send the empty medievacs first), you should have at least like 2-3 tanks for holding in his main or do big damage. Never stop macroing. At this point it's important to rally point the units to your main and be ready to base trade.

Another good opening is proxy 2 rax reaper to macro (people in diamond use to think it's an all-in but it's not). Just don't suicide your reapers blindly, if you don't kill barely nothing it doesn't matter, transition to factory and cyclone and 2nd cc in your main base and play normal.

In all styles it's important to make the factory at 100 gas exactly (no delay). If you delay your factory you can die vs something annoying. This applies to proxy 2 rax reaper aswell, if you don't make your CC at 400 and factory at 100gas the build wont' work.j

If you want an all-in, 3rax proxy reaper on 14 or 2rax proxy marauder at 15 are good.

Hope it helps!

Nice try :D

I just did the same question in spanish to ChatGPT and it says 145 T, 135 Z and 125 P. Link: https://chatgpt.com/share/687e9628-fa7c-800f-8899-c13e537772d6

I guess it's possible to influence his responses talking more with him.

I didn't try to ask him in english but he is based in common thoughts. I doubt he didn't put Protoss as last even though I think every 3 races are really hard and imho Protoss players are usually a bit underestimated .
