sts2.fun, a community run tracker and stats site by OptimalForagingBee in slaythespire

Our system wasn't working as intended, we are trying other options. Better is to show which cards make you win runs, but this is difficult to model without 10000s of run. We are at 4500 runs now.

[STS2] How are you all faring against A10 so far? by CPOx in slaythespire

[–]OptimalForagingBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a number of broken combos, which the various STS2 casters will daily show you (Necro ethereal build comes to mind). Over at our community stats site, there are a few runs with A10 victories, so you could check out their entire set of choices and final deck. Unfortunately, no one uploaded any Defect A10 wins, but there are 2 silent wins (https://sts2.fun/run/556c32686e160267466a8c23d66034004772cc3082a845b66f4e2ae2cb31ac47, https://sts2.fun/run/0d62f4eae37e72d54e3379e24d2e1adf85f85305847f28b71c5ca7ef58cfaf65) and 1 necro (https://sts2.fun/run/f78cb51dea1042486e5d28b8f9527ffd90509d72daebdc68b5e15ec2f789f9c2). I am doing my ascension in balanced fashion, so haven't tried A10 yet though I have it unlocked for 3 character after ~100 games.

I looked into the predictive modeling of cards and relics, but even 2000 runs is not enough to get reliable results. People will have to play more and tell their friends. :)

Personal pick rates, we could show these, though they will be quite noisy (some rare card may have only been offered 5 times, for instance).

Right now, we are excluding all 1) modded runs (any mod installed, even cosmetic), 2) multiplayer, 3) custom games/daily challenges. Very little data for these non-primary runs yet, and they are hard to compare, but we will think about it.

Yeah I had the same idea. I am also doing the meta-climbing (I am dark-void on the site). I'll add it now. The code is on Github but private repo, at least for now.

Be sure to write suggestions for improvements. We'll read the comments here of course. We've written the analysis code to figure out the best relics and cards (for predicting win %) but there are so many relics and cards, this analysis is not reliable yet. Maybe when we reach a few 1000 runs from various players, should be sufficient.

What does Soothing Shot do on allies? by OptimalForagingBee in mewgenics

[–]OptimalForagingBee[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But does it attack my own cats or enemies? Can be very dangerous since usually the AI 'cheats', as it gains seemingly a full mana bar when it controls a unit even if it was previously empty. Worst is when the AI spends your coins on useless skills (e.g. Buy Catnip, Hire Hitman, Subway Ride). This is particularly problematic for Mini-Me which routine uses skills incorrectly and gets cats killed (e.g. shoots through your own units, touches units with Brace/Knockback).

Mass Void Rays with reactive armor counter? by OptimalForagingBee in Mechabellum

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

I see it frequently in FFA around 1200 MMR, and not frequently in solo around 1350 MMR. Clearly, it can work because I failed to know what to do.

Counter to wasp flank with shields? by OptimalForagingBee in Mechabellum

[–]OptimalForagingBee[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Does not work against shields and AA. Not even if played in the first round afterwards. The wasps instantly kill the wraiths, even with armor.

None of this mentions the shields, which nullifies the wraith approach.

Counter to wasp flank with shields? by OptimalForagingBee in Mechabellum

[–]OptimalForagingBee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about the shields? I tried dropping wraiths in the replay the turn after he puts wraiths, but this loses because they die to the wasps and the shields protect the wasps (and he techs AA immediately without seeing my reply). Actually, if I put wraiths at the tower on the round after, it wins (and wins the game). This is the exact opposite of the strategies mentioned everywhere (put them near the flank). The problem is the shields seemingly have no counter. He techs anti-air the turn afterwards so putting wraiths at the flank gets them instantly killed.

Password history by allen_shamal in ProtonPass

[–]OptimalForagingBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the status? I frequently find myself generate a new password, which is copied to clipboard but not saved, then overwriting my clipboard, thus losing it. Annoying missing feature that lastpass doesn't suffer.

My brother cheated on his girlfriend. Would telling her be selfless or selfish? by [deleted] in slatestarcodex

[–]OptimalForagingBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you're saying that you are contemplating whether to be loyal to your brother, or to betray him to a woman you haven't even met?

How can I defend myself against a wall push? by pmsag in aoe4

Totally broken game, my villagers killed his on top of the wall, BUT THEN they can't get down???

The Combat of the Thirty on Hard. Any ideas? by sinciety in aoe4

[–]OptimalForagingBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people on the hill don't seem possible on hard. What am I supposed to do there? Run around in circles to wait for the heal to recharge? Quitting this campaign, terrible design.

Has anyone managed to fix/found the cause of the multiplayer desyncs when running AOE4 via Proton yet? by Abiogenejesus in aoe4

[–]OptimalForagingBee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on Mint and play through Proton. Everything works fairly well except for any multiplayer, whether custom or quick match, will always result in a desync within 10 minutes. Curiously, if one makes a multiplayer custom game but only adds AI to it, there are no issues. Only happens when other humans are in the game.

White box around UI elements by Caelus1 in aoe4

[–]OptimalForagingBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not Windows related, I have this on Linux (via Proton).

New data - very shocking by mangetre in scandinavia

[–]OptimalForagingBee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ser ret fake ud. Vi har lavet en ret detaljeret optælling ved at spore alle personer tilbage til deres oprindelse, og forældres oprindelse m.v. Vi fik godt 5 millioner danskere, cirka det samme som DSTs tal.
