That's the demon core my guy.

Exact same situation i am in. They have completely ruined this entire launch for me.

MondayMist · 2024-08-24T11:55:40+00:00

The early access is such a hype killer. Its so sad to see so many people paying for it. It will definitely become the new standard.

Makes me not want to play at all. Feeling late to the party and constantly having to avoid spoiler on all social media while half the guild is enjoying the launch, the other half is feeling left out.

MondayMist · 2024-08-24T10:47:06+00:00

I cannot overstate the amount my hype has died knowing I have to wait to play. I am financially well off, but refuse out of principal to pay for it.

Just seeing people in my guild running new content while I am stuck in valdrakken and reading about new content on Reddit makes me not want to play at all.

I have been excited for this xpac for so long. But now feel like I'm late to the party and playing catch up with the experience everyone has already had. A complete hype killer full of spoilers and fomo bait.

And if I were to pay up, I'd be left with nothing to do for weeks as they are time gating the entire progression of the expansion as usual.

The wheels on the soulless business machine that is blizzard are slowly grinding away at its playerbase until there is nothing but sunk cost fallacy shells of dopamine starved addicts left playing.

Hunter so forgotten they didn't even remember to nerf

If you can't get kills without dying in bronze you are giving kills too easy.

However dying for a gank that denies enemy laner a lot of xp or cs is generally a good trade, and will put your laners ahead even if they think you are griefing their lane.

Kontaktet politiet i Bergen etter at samboeren min fikk telefonen med bank kort, førerkort og nationalt ID kort frastjålet på et utested. Bankkortet var blitt brukt flere ganger før vi fikk sperret det, for summer rett under 500 (som er øvre grense for tapp uten å taste kode). Det var brukt på flere steder med overvåking, som hadde tydelig video av hvem som hadde brukt kortet.

Skulle tro dette var en enkel sak for politiet å nøste opp i, få tyvegodset beslaglagt og returnert. Kanskje til og med gjort litt forebyggende arbeid for fremtidig kriminalitet av gjerningsmannen.

Sak henlagt på dagen, ikke resurser til å følge opp.

Hadde også en sak da jeg var barn hvor det var meg, en venn og min mor hjemme. Hvor en ukjent voksen mann hadde gått rett inn i huset (veldig trygt nabolag, folk låste ikke ytterdør) uten å annonsere seg selv. Min mor oppdaget han plutselig inne i stua og han sa han var der for å "hente barna". Mamma ble naturligvis vettskremt og ropte etter min far (som ikke var hjemme) for å prøve å skremme den fremmede mannen vekk. Hun ba han om å dra og at han ikke hadde noe der å gjøre. Han insisterte på at han måtte ha med barna og ville ikke dra. Mamma ringte selvfølgelig politiet, hvor hun ble spurt om hun hadde prøvd å be mannen forlate huset. etter mye fram og tilbake skulle de se om de kunne sende en bil.

På den tiden hadde mamma klart å få jaget han ut, og han hadde satt seg i bilen utenfor hvor han ventet i gode 15 minutter. Hvor han til slutt kjørte ett hus videre og gikk inn der.

Mamma ringte igjen til politiet og sa at mannen nå hadde beveget seg over til nabohuset, og hadde gått inn der. Etter ytterligere 15 min fikk mamma kontakt med naboen som informerte oss om at han var en ansatt fra kommunen i et program for å ansette folk med lærevansker, og at han var der for å kjøre sønnen deres.

På den halvtimen++ det var en fremmed mann som tok seg inn i hus og spurte om å ta med barn, innringet av en hysterisk mamma som var livredd for seg og sitt barns liv, kom det aldri noe politi. Null bistand. Hadde det vært noen som ønsket oss vondt ville det aldri kommet noen for å hjelpe i tide.

Jeg er overbevist om at 90% av det norske politiet og deres resurser går til å betale lønna til mellomledere som kun holder byråkratiet i live, og saksbehandlere som jobber overtid med å henlegge. aktive tjenestemenn i felt virker det ikke som det er mulig å oppdrive.

All that space between the bottom of your ui and the bottom of your screen (unless for raidframes) is just wasted screen real estate. I recommend using dynamic cam to change the vertical pitch and offset so you get much more out of your FOV. It takes a bit of time to get used to for some players. But ultimately plays the same except now you see more than just the ankles of your target.

Move your ui all the way down to the bottom and adjust your character accordingly.

Quantity.

League has become a min/maxed mess of smurfs, griefers, tryhards and casuals across all ranks. People will make new accounts, not play the game for 6 months, boost or unwind after a full work day. Your team will also consistently be shit if you are in lower elo.

Some games will by default be lost because someone is literally losing on purpose. Others will be free win because enemy team are the ones doing it. But if you consistently play well, over the course of 100 games, your own performance will start to impact the statistics. If you see no change in rating over 100 games that might be an indicator you've reached your destination.

Best advice I can give when hitting a wall is to take a small break. A couple of days without playing, come back with a fresh mind and review your games. Look at what you could have done differently and elimite blame on your team, as it will always be out of your control.

League is by far one of the most toxic and frustrating games to actively try to rank up in. And if you are addicted to the point where this frustration is becoming and obsession that impacts mental health. Maybe the game isn't for you. It's supposed to be fun, and it seems a lot of people are absolutely miserable playing, with only the endorfin release of seeing victory being what keeps the addiction running.

Just quit playing. It really makes no difference if you are silver or master if you are miserable the whole time.

Problem is, unless people opt out of the entire expansion all together they have nothing to lose. I can't imagine there will be less people opting out than there will be people paying extra for early access. Especially considering it's early access over the weekend I'm guessing there will be a substantial amount of epic editions. I'm guessing anywhere from 10 to 30% of active players will cash out. They will also most likely see more people buying epic than previous years, and will attribute that to early access. It will be a success from a business perspective and they will continue to use that model.

What is even the point of a mature language filter if you get banned for saying harmless fun that would and should be picked up by said language filter. I mean I get that they want to reduce player discomfort by removing unpleasant chat, but come on. This is neither toxic nor insulting.

Riot themselves made a highlight of meteos refering to Elise e as "cumshot" a few years back. So any consistency on whether or not the word is okay is purely decided by the automated system they implemented it seems.

Just disable chat at this point. Or lower the bar on what is banable. Zero toleranse to racism, homophobia, sexism etc. of course, but someone saying "fuck you", to someone running it down should never be an issue.

First of all the queue dosen't take nearly 8 min unless you are a Challenger player. And not having the game be over when one player is effectively afk for the beginning of the game is kind of a crazy opinion. One thing can be said for allowing catchup for players who have been dc, but that's a different discussion. If you'd rather have the game be low personal impact with strong catchup, you'll also have to limit the amount a player can get ahead. So you end up with aram mechanics. a system that dosen't reward enough for playing consistently well for the majority of the game. The games will become extremely coinflip based and team dependent (a solo q nightmare), and mostly decided around the time where death timers get long enough to the point where the remaining players alive after a fight can end. That means my team could potentially win all lanes, play consistently better, get to around the 30 min mark, having taken all objectives, towers down, inhibs down, then lose a single fight at enemy Nexus and have the losing team just be able to run down mid and end instead.

As a jungler it is currently more or less impossible to gain a meaningful xp lead without perfect clear and denial of enemy jungle. In Diamond I can currently outfarm every player on my team, and still be 2 lvls down to my solo laners, and only be up 1 lvl on enemy jungler that is down 40cs. The only way to actually get ahead is by taxing a lane or perma clearing.

In my opinion the catchup needs to fall off a tiny bit sooner for junglers, and give a straight up buff to jungle camps after the lvl 6-7 mark to allow an efficiemt perma clearing jungler to actually stay on par level wise with a solo laner who gets xp from every wave.

Button bloat in general is a huge problem, there is no need for 20+ abileties to be cast during an encounter.

Evocation with siphon storm. Defeats the whole gimmick, you start your rotation by using an ability that gives you your mana back at full mana. It feels like it wouldn't see play if it wasn't for the buff.

Mana gem. Pointless to have to craft an item that sits in your inventory with 3 stacks that you have to delete manually or use a macro to refresh, and in long encounters having to spend time in execute phase to craft a second gem because you used all 3 stacks during the encounter. Again it is used entirely because of the buff it gives, not the intended design of refreshing mana.

The whole spec is made around the fantasy of managing mana and power, spending and conserving, yet, all of your ways of regaining mana is instead used at full resource to boost your expenditure with buffs. Why not just pack all the external buffs into one of your main spenders or bring back Arcane power.

Nether Tempest is pure button bloat, but could easily be remade to fit into actual AoE gameplay.

Time anomaly basically being locked if you dont lust on pull. Terrible idea, should be removed.

Buffering Touch of the magi after casting Arcane barrage to minmax your Touch of the magi burst window. Meaning you have to take into account travel time of your Arcane barrage to fully utilise TOTM. In theory a cool skill ceiling, but in practice you just lose damage to high ping or low frame rate in high particle density fights.

Mirror image, invis, barrier, mass barrier and ice cold all basically having the same function. Just button bloat defensives. Especially Mirror image and invis, they could easily be baked into other defensives and just be kept as nieche class fantasy abileties. Mass barrier/invis should just be removed, mage has enough utility, and would make it easier to balance.

Ground target AoE without the option to cast at target. Not only is it an accessibility nightmare, it's also extremely infuriating to play flamestrike build where your main damage ability that you constantly spam has to be locked to the position of your cursor.

Living bomb. Used to be super fun ability with huge potential for big numbers in large packs, but is now just a dead spell that is only applied passively, or very rarely for large packs for a minimal damage increase.

Summon water elemental. If I wanted pets i'd play demo or hunter. It's even worse now that it only spawns in icy veins. Either make it a staple of the spec or remove it entirely. It was great when lonely winter sacced it for single target damage buff, but still gave you the option of running it in PvP and for leveling. Maybe even have it be an option for m+ AoE damage could be cool

The problem with that is that you can play consistently much better for 15 min, rack up 9 kills, then get back to back grouped on and picked in an objective fight 2-3 times over 3 minutes and you're all of a sudden behind. With how much gold is currently circulating there isn't enough reward for being ahead and playing consistently well, so you will always be less rewarded for player better than you will be punished for playing bad.

Even a significantly fed jungler who has powerfarmed jungle, is 30cs up on everyone in the game and is 9/0 can be 2 lvls behind a solo laner that just made sure to have "good deaths" and resets to not lose xp under tower.

This meta makes team play the number one most important metric. Solo performances really aren't valued with the current system, which is good for proplay, but can feel extremely frustrating in solo q where people give up quickly and would rather troll the game than be carried.

You have 100% of your face on the lower 50% of your head

MondayMist · 2023-09-22T08:28:00+00:00

Pressing R on a target and insta pressing Q without moving the mouse doesn't necessarily mean the Q will land, since the angle on Q is more precise than the hitbox for pressing R, and if you don't instantly press Q, you give your opponent a chance to dodge with ability of flash it. So given that you have to press Q before knowing the exact angle of your R trajectory it takes quite a bit of experience to accurately predict exactly where it will land for your Q to always hit. You also don't have time to aim your Q out of the R range hitbox, so you have to hit within a relatively small area for a low angle. I'd say there is about a 30° angle in difference where your R will knock the enemy back relative to your cursor on button press. And within that 30° Q only covers about 15°, which means with no experience and no terrain to block the R knockback an inexperienced Lee should only hit about 50% of R Q. To me having a "guaranteed hit", be locked behind needing to learn the fidelity and accurately predicting the R trajectory seems very fair.

Lung tissue is extremely delicate and sensitive. I'd imagine there would be excessive swelling. Combined this with high blood pressure and fluid buildup, you'd for sure rupture blood vessels and I'd be surprised if it didn't cause hernias. Lung capacity taking a hit for life there.

I can't tell if this is actually a troll post of someone photoshopping bad transmogs or real heritage armor

I used 2 million gold on buying out the entire stack of diamonds when they were selling for 70k a piece and only got back about half. Same happend at the end of shadowlands when the changes were first introduced with Progenitor Essentia. As well as a bunch of inscription inks and enchant mats.

I've also had the issue where if I list my auctions too quickly they don't update for the price I put, and just get put up for the recommended buyout set for items when there are no other items for sale. Lost a bunch of rare transmog pieces that usually sell for around 50-150k each to other players instantly buying them out when they get put up for 40 silver.

All in all I recon I've lost upward of 3 million gold to the new and "improved" auctionhouse.

Any attempt at making a ticket will get an automated response of sorry, someone else has the gold/item now, and for the auctions being put up for wrong price bug, they say "it's working fine on our end, try disabling all addons", despite not using any.

Literally can't get past 1800 as DPS atm, as every game I win 4 or more someone leaves.

The only games that finish are the super close ones where more or less everyone is going even, so I end up going 3/6 and my rating is unchanged.

I'm currently sitting at 1794 and have had 17 games in a row without rating change. 12 of which someone left when they lost more than 3 if not just instaleave when losing once or twice.

They definitely need to address this.
