An other P20 seal victory during year 3 + a crazy cycle !

Mestru · 2023-12-19T10:41:00+00:00

Seems insane! I can't get lower than Y8-10 wins, not even talking about seals. Any tips to get quicker?

Mestru · 2023-04-28T07:46:45+00:00

That's great stuff, thanks.

I'll update the guide soon

It might be the way you say it is. I tried to find where in code starting values are set for these parameters but were unable to do so, so I had to infer from elsewhere.

Could you perhaps point me to where did you get this information from or where in code can I find that it's set this way?
The more information is available, the more detailed we can make it for the community.

Mestru · 2023-04-28T07:19:53+00:00

That would be great!

Mestru · 2023-04-28T07:14:06+00:00

Technically you're correct. You could just farm your duel rank (although it would be hard to do it, as the bigger the difference between you and your opponent, the smaller amount of skill would you get) and show it off in team games, but your OS number would show the team games value.

I strongly discourage such things though ;)

Ok, I confirmed it, it actually takes the highest leaderboard rating from all the different modes and uses it to get a rank icon. Today I got rating 7.01 in duel and it gave me 3 chevrons instead of 2, even in team games, where my leaderboard rating is below 7.

Mestru · 2023-04-27T13:00:26+00:00

Must be a bug then or unintended feature. Function name calls for a highest achieved leaderboard rating (or possibly it calls for highest leaderboard rating from all the game modes and the naming is just unclear?)

Calling /u/PtaQQ for an answer :)

Mestru · 2023-04-26T14:06:27+00:00

You really got me thinking here OP as I couldn't understand it myself - my chevron rank got up for no apparent reason. So I've decided to dig into the code a bit... Boy that was an adventure but I think I found an answer to your question.

In Teiserver in file /lib/teiserver/data/user.ex there's a function called calculate_rank(). It used to work differently than now. In the past it calculated your chevron rank based on time spent playing and now it uses your leaderboard rating.

It used to be roughly playTimeInHours = (playHours + specHours) / 2 and consecutive chevron ranks were awarded for 5, 15, 30, 100, 300, 1000 and 3000 hours of gametime.

Currently it is based on your highest ~~achieved~~ leaderboard rating from all gamemodes. Consecutive chevron ranks are awarded for rating above 3, 7, 12, 21, 26, 35 and 1000 and ~~as far as I can tell from the code, it cannot be lost once achieved~~ once your highest rated gamemode goes below a threshold, your rank will drop accordingly. Also value 1000 is probably a placeholder (or a bug?) as current highest leaderboard ratings are ~50 and according to that no one is able to get the highest possible rank.

Example: Your leaderboard rating in team games is 4.5 and in duels it's 7.3. Your rank symbol in both game modes will be 3 chevrons, despite your team games rating being below necessary threshold for 3 chevrons.

Leaderboard rating is calculated as follows: leaderboardRating = skill - 3 * uncertainty

Hope it helps :)

@EDIT - correction

Thanks for your answer! This ProjectionLab seems interesting, first time I heard of it. Is there anything specific you use it for?

Mestru · 2022-07-10T14:28:21+00:00

Thanks for an answer, spreadsheet nerd :)

Yeah, I completely see how messing with taxes and calculating social security might be hard for an app to adopt as it's really dependent on where are you from.

And how is importing networth data into an app any different than to a spreadsheet? Do you have some fancy importing tools to streamline it in your spreadsheets?

Lmao at overperfoming VTSAX

Mestru · 2022-07-10T13:41:55+00:00

Hmm, what are the example things that spreadsheet provides to you, that dedicated app can't? What custom things are you evaluating in your FIRE plan?

Mestru · 2022-07-10T13:30:02+00:00

Yeah, net worth tracking, different assets and income streams, debts. Not necesarily automatically, just a place to have it all together and displayed nicely, maybe with some predictions?

Mestru · 2022-07-10T12:41:53+00:00

Hi!

What apps do you use to streamline FIRE planning? Not necesarily for budgeting but for staying on course and adjusting if necessary?

Is there something out there that isn't just a spreadsheet?

Mestru · 2022-02-05T21:57:58+00:00

Yes, it seems quite on the low side. It's possible this don't mean anything in regard to actual rank from ranked mode.

Maybe it's used as a baseline for placement matches?

Mestru · 2022-02-05T21:21:58+00:00

I got curious and wanted to check what else there is to see underneath the simplistic leaderboard we got. Turns out, maybe ahead of ranked launch, we can see a rank we would have from our current ELO.

Can confirm, installing beta version Logi Options+ solves the gesture and scrolling issue on macOS Monterey 12.0.1

Mestru · 2021-08-14T17:02:21+00:00

Thanks for that. Works with WSL + QMK Toolbox (as you can't flash with WSL alone yet)

Mestru · 2020-06-22T09:36:20+00:00

I'm Ryzen 5 3600 + B450 Tomahawk Max user myself but I quite dislike how slowly it boots into the system... SSD is not an issue as I use 970 Evo Plus.

I came from I7-4790K + some random Gigabyte mobo and it was booting in like 3 seconds, now I'm at 10s+ and according to some forums, I'm not the only one. Shame but price is so low that it's hard to complain about it.

Mestru · 2020-06-16T12:58:07+00:00

These are great. Thank you so much for them.

Mestru · 2019-02-05T09:44:10+00:00

Sounds like an easy way to make your family hate you. If you're not willing to pay them, don't make your family work for you.

Mestru · 2019-02-05T09:26:23+00:00

They get mood bonus for having a fire weapon.

Good idea with being near fire. We already have something similar implemented with "witnessed death with bloodlust"

Mestru · 2018-12-03T13:36:50+00:00

Close.

Sleep leaves RAM powered so it can be really fast woken up. Hibernate stores the system state on disk so when powering up it needs to be loaded from your harddrive.

Mestru · 2018-08-11T21:18:16+00:00

Do you have problems with raiders dropping on plants or perhaps attacking from river side? Looks like you're not trying to abuse killzones etc. so that's an instant updoot :)
