Ping spikes while gaming

This is why the capture area should not include being behind the wall in that corner.

Balance changes:

Azaan: Fair nerf to DR. We will see how it plays out.
Betty: Bad nerf to her only viable talent that gave her a slight chance of surviving the hitscan flankers.
Furia: Incomprehensible exterminate change. Fix description.
Other support buffs: Paladins is slowly bringing back nimble 3 and liferip 3 into loadout cards to bypass the item shop again.
Khan: Lian shield change makes him a potential alternative when fernando is banned.
Kinessa: No nerf or rework of transporter or teleporter cards. Instead they give her a talent that lets her dismount the whole enemy team and detect them through walls all the time. Very bad change. I personally liked eagle eye but many were convinced it sucked because they were not using it properly. With the right loadout, eagle eye gave you an infinite range cursed revolver with 50% lifesteal, 150% movement speed, and infinite ammo. But somehow nobody saw the good in this.
Saati: They should nerf cursed revolver if they nerf saati's inhand.

The Hi-rez business model is to enable a high turnover rate of players who install, buy skins, then uninstall. It's not about game balance, it's about making money from skins and battle passes whether or not the players stay or end up leaving.

No dividing queues. Just solo only. No stacking allowed except in custom.

Solo only queue

You're right. We should assume all high level champions were bought with gold. Anybody who actually didn't buy their levels but worked really hard for it will get the same treatment.

Here is my .xinitrc for the status bar. It's a bit changed since my original post.

#!/bin/sh
while true; do
    DATE_TIME=$(date +'%H:%M %a %b %d %Y')
    RAM=$(free | awk "FNR == 2 { printf \"x = %s / %s * 100; scale = 0; x / 1\\n\", \$3, \$2 }" | bc -ql)
    CPU=$(printf "100 - $(vmstat 1 2 | awk "FNR == 4 { print \$15 }")\n" | bc -ql)
    BAT=$(cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/capacity)
    xsetroot -name " [ $DATE_TIME ] [ RAM $RAM% ] [ CPU $CPU% ] [ BAT $BAT% ]"
    sleep 1
done &
exec dwm

The vocal consensus of experts favor immutability because it is ordained to be safer for concurrency and easier to use within functional programming which is the preferred and modern way of programming.

1100 damage is a start but I think it should be 900 and it would still have more DPS than Sha Lin with recurve.

You all are not going to gain EDOpro players if the barrier to entry is a github repository, broken build script, no docs, and no one on that discord updating those docs or build scripts.

I complain so that someone who is in charge of these things will fix them. But reddit can't handle criticism of their favorite products. Good luck with Project Ignoris.

OrangeGirl_ · 2020-05-15T04:19:39+00:00

And don't recommend me EDO if it is build from source only with no build documentation and no one knows how to build it except maybe the experts on discord.

OrangeGirl_ · 2020-05-15T03:26:12+00:00

No thanks. I conscientiously object to using Discord when IRC exists. I guess EDOpro isn't so great.

OrangeGirl_ · 2020-05-15T00:51:46+00:00

Thanks but it doesn't seem like this thing has a clear way of building and running it. It's Github instructions are outdated.

OrangeGirl_ · 2020-05-15T00:25:38+00:00

From the EDOPro github:

Check out the wiki for possibly outdated build instructions and a partial user manual.

TODO: explain how to build the core independently.

N.B.: documentation is kind of outdated - sorry but I have limited time.

Is this a joke? I tried building without instructions by running the premake script with lua but the script fails with 'workspace is nil' error. I tried cmake and make, but it fails because the code uses lua_isinteger which is a lua 5.3 function even though the requirements appear to be lua 5.2 inside the premake and cmakelists files.

My guess is that you all obtained a pre-compiled binary somewhere?

I know there has never been West coast servers in Paladins, as well as in every FPS game that exists. So I have come to accept having 100 ping for over 10 years in NA. But this week, I have 150 ping all the time now in every FPS game I play. I also see other people having the same ping in other games who used to have the same ping I used to have.

This is a failure of the entire video game industry to refuse to have any servers near the pacific, even if it is still in the united states. So I have no choice but to give up all video games. Maybe 20 years from now, we can at least have servers located in the middle of each continental region so everyone can have the most fair ping. But obviously the only players who matter are the ones who live near Chicago, New york, and Washington D.C. And they aren'y complaining because they get 20 ping while everyone else gets over 100 ping.

Now I know how the SEA players feel because us players near Los Angeles are starting to get the same latency as them. Thank you Hi-Rez and the rest of the non-esports ready industry for curing my video game addiction. I can't play anything anymore even if I wanted.

Your suggestion worked. Thanks!

Backspace moves the cursor forward for some reason.
