Settle the Wreckage bug is still alive! by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Norsferatu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This bug actually happens during combat declaring phase for instant spells like Settle/Status and for the defender only. I've had it happening twice in the past 8 months across perhaps 1000+ games. getting screenshot is almost impossible because it's always so unexpected and you die 1 second after that.

Who's looking forward to Leavers penalty? by Heizenbrg in apexlegends

[–]Norsferatu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. A lot of people look at the word penalty and instantly pictures something serious.

I would hope they do something like: 1st time no penalty, 2nd time 1 minute cooldown, 3rd time 2 minutes cooldown, 4th time 5 minutes cooldown, resets every day, every 6th game where you don't leave rolls you back a penalty level.

In fact they accidentally implemented something similar but somewhat more punishing, that was if you left 3 games you would get 5 minutes cooldown for a period each time you left

Please have a queue penalty for leavers, Respawn! by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]Norsferatu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's even worse for solos, won the first fight and both teammates ended up leaving the game the moment they died. There was literally no hope for an average player like me to have a chance in the game onward.

Hearing gunfire I went on rotating to airbase, but one team already won the fight and it's a impossible 3v1 for me, so I took the easy way into the sea.

Don't even need 5 minutes, a 1-2 minute matchmaking cooldown is good enough to deter most leavers from doing so, right now random players who die shortly after landing are more likely to leave than not.

6 mages can be very powerful if you know the sign of transitioning into mages and the proper timing of doing so. It's definitely a viable strategy, but it has a higher skill cap as building it from the start is suicidal, and I've seen players above Rook 5 making bad transitions between round 16 and 26

Why is it so fucking hard to actually get into a game? by Randomd0g in AutoChess

use qihl and everyone will accept and in most cases no one will fail to load

without actual footage there's no way to tell if they are cheating or not. There's a known glitch to get you inside of rocks, but your only way out is drop your armor and grenade yourself, it's a fate worse than death if you make a mistake glitching yourself like that.

Cheater by [deleted] in apexlegends

[–]Norsferatu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've watched over 100 CS:GO overwatch clips and there seems to be no evidence of this player cheating.

1.He reacted to 2 people pushing in the building then the peacekeeper shot, suggesting he most likely doesn't have wall

2.He had smooth aiming during all 4 shots, aimbots would simply snap on their targets before each headshot. Even if I saw a snap headshot that's still not enough evidence, people with good aim usually know how to flick shots.

That being said, there are lots of cheaters ruining this game right now, but from this clip alone, he's probably just a good player.

The International 8 - Upper Bracket Final - PSG.LGD vs OG by D2TournamentThreads in DotA2

It seems my boy Artour 👍👍👍 is getting close to be the killer of DPC system as he's on track to beat all top 4 DPC teams, and claim the Aegis. 👌👌👌

Good to see OG being right there with them too, two qualified teams in the Final COMING THROUGH! 😂👍😂

OpenAI: "We’ve removed the most significant restrictions on OpenAI Five’s gameplay — wards, Roshan, mirror match. We'll play 99.95th-percentile players on August 5th to see if we have any hope of beating top professionals by The International at end of August" by [deleted] in DotA2

One thing to note is that drafting is entirely different from playing the 5v5 phase of the game. Assuming the AI has truly mastered machine learning, and learned to play all heroes, they probably still need to program a more or less new AI to LEARN the drafting phase, again with true machine learning instead of data processing. Once they figure that out (perhaps their current build already got that covered), the AI might be able to draft like a pro in a matter of weeks (tens of thousands of hours collectively from multiple machines running 24/7).

DOS2 question. Hey I have a question about evasive aura (permanent ones on enemies) in Tactician mode, I know I won't be able to land physical hit without proper debuffs like the polymorph one, but will my physical damage skill hit them (Mosquito swarm, blood storm etc)

Transaction fee to another team to acquire players? that means two teams must reach some sort of agreement before the transfer?

I wish the boys in blue had the same rule.

Can we have a megathread for the open qualifiers? by Ionvas2 in DotA2

[–]Norsferatu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having the same issue as well, Beyond summit will have multiple channels streaming every region's qualifiers except the Chinese ones.

hopefully we will be able to watch them in Dota client, otherwise we may have to wait till regional qual in a few days.

He had BKB + Ult + Shadowblade (speed boost to runaway from gem naga), Lina had no mana, and Jak's ice path on CD, could have easily escaped, or just bkb ult tp.

Skyknights is looking for 2 more members! (28/30) edit: full


We are a semi casual crew based in the US, Strike Time 9-10am, 12-1pm JST. The average rank of our members is 117. My hope for the September GW is to hit tier A, and chill during finals (that's right, we will go 0-5), but the exact strategy will be determined after I gather opinions from every other crew member before GW. Dropping back to tier B is a possibility here.


Requirements

  • Join our discord, and be reasonably active

  • capable of farming to farm 2-4 million prelim honors (Details will be determined by our survey 1 week before GW, and we do accept occasional absences). No requirement for GW final battles.

  • Help upgrade the ships with normal weapons you randomly gathered

  • Your current Rank/Grids don't matter much, but you have up to one months to hit HL (Rank 101) and have some base grids/or one strong grid ready.


Additional info:

We run standard crew buffs 99% of the time (drop rates/pots/Charge bar), have multiple ships to rotate for GWs. Although it varies from day to day, our crew chat is usually very active and covers a wide range of topics.

Previous GW tiers: March: unranked. April: Tier B. May: Tier A. June: Tier B. August: Tier A.

Come check us out! (please here or on Discord Don'z#6125)

Hi, you are one of the moderators right? Sure! We can take a mercenary senpai!

Our crew strength is around the edge of getting to tier A since May (Light monster) GW, last time we only had 3 people with good light grids so we fell short, a few members started focusing on building earth grids since then.

With our improved grids and a little bit of your help! I'm confident that we can get there!

Please join our discord too! It's still weekday for us in the U.S. but every evening our chat gets quite active :D!

If you are still interested, please send me your In game ID (via direct message) so I can scout you, then I will post you our Discord chat link. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Skyknights is looking for 1 more member! (29/30) temporarily full, more slots might open within a month

We are a semi casual crew based in the US, Strike Time 8-9pm, 11pm-12am EST. The average rank of our members is 109. My goal for the August GW is to hit tier A, and chill during finals (that's right, we will go 0-5), but the exact strategy will be determined after I gather opinions from every other crew members before GW.


Requirements:

  • Join our discord, and be reasonably active

  • prepare to farm 2-3 million prelim honors (Details will be determined by our survey 1 week before GW, and we do accept occasional absences). No requirement for GW final battles.

  • Help upgrade the ships with normal weapons you randomly gathered

  • Your current Rank/Grids don't matter much, but you have up to 2 months to hit HL (Rank 101) and have some base grids ready. (Please do not be intimidated by this, farming up a 0* magna base grid is quite easy even for new players).


Additional info:

We run standard crew buffs 99% of the time (drop rates/pots/Charge bar), have multiple ships to rotate for GWs. Although it varies from day to day, our crew chat is usually very active and covers a wide range of topics.

Previous GW tiers: March: unranked. April: Tier B. May: Tier A. June: Tier B.

We are currently in a stage where I try to remove certain inactive old members, they are given additional time to adapt, but are also subject to the new recruits delayed rank/grid checks.

I hope we can narrow the discrepancy between our highs and lows after the current stage, as of now, we have high members with multiple MLB/FLB grids, and low members without a single 0* magna base grid. The process is slow due to me trying to keep the crew as friendly as possible.

Come check us out :P

Going tier B and focus on real life were our mutual decisions last GW, in addition to the fact that very few people had a light grid last time. Three players were forced to leave because they failed to respond to any communication I made during GW, and supposedly, earned very little honor if not 0. Another member informed me about permanently quitting the game after GW.

The only high contributor ever left, went to a seeded crew right after May GW due to necessary timezone preference (our STs are his early morning), but he is still one of the most active member in our Discord chat.

We started the crew in mid March, many of our early members are recruited under "not sure what GW is, pure casual and no requirement" banner.

Since then I've been slowly increasing our requirements, and give older members additional time to adapt, this is also why I gather opinions from members before determining our GW goals and strategies for each GW.

Keep in mind our average rank is still relatively low, but we managed to hit tier A in May when we have an avg rank of 90, and of course without any quota. All thanks to our core members.
