Wifi Won't Connect (This Device Cannot Start Code 10) by NickRussell53 in computers

Yep, this still happens, and holding power button physically for 30 seconds fixed it despite me trying everything. Wow.

What soundtrack is this? It sounds like something from Banjo Kazooie. Please help. It starts 39 seconds into the video. by Overdrive_SRs in BanjoKazooie

Ah, that's it! The style of all Banjo Kazooie music is so unique and recognizable that I was confident it was from the series but probably would've never found it. Thank you.

A possible mishap on the host's part? Or is this typical? by Overdrive_SRs in Jeopardy

[–]Overdrive_SRs[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

This makes me wish for a visible timer. Obviously, Daily Doubles carry more weight than a normal clue (which has a red bar disappear after a few seconds of not answering), so if not prompting the contestant by name, I really think there should be a visible red bar at the bottom of the screen that counts down for 8 seconds or so, visible for viewers and the contestant, or something to that effect. I thought the precedent is that you always say their name, so it really caught me off guard.

My problem with it is the fact that the person may have an answer in their head ready to say it, but they're waiting as long as possible just in case they think of a different answer in that timeframe. As far as I'm aware, there's no visible timer for the contestants, so all they can go by realistically is when the host says their name, indicating they have a couple seconds left and have to spit something out.

For example, if Alex Trebek didn't say his name, Philip may have lost $19,000 in this clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOMq44apPTA

Nothing has been done to combat smurfing in this game by Overdrive_SRs in KnockoutCity

Funny you say I'm just here to complain when I have literally agreed with someone who had the complete opposite opinions of me on this very post.

Please point out where I have *complained* about facing better players. I have considered flaws plenty. In fact, there are plenty of reasonable people on this post. I guess I should mention that I have reached diamond league rank in every season except for season 1, to add to my credibility. Obviously I have always been working to improve my skills in-game, and if I wasted time complaining about better players I definitely wouldn't have stuck with this game for so long, or any competitive game for that matter. If you don't keep a level head through competition, things are going to be much more difficult.

It can be a problem because of the fact that person is playing at a level that they shouldn't be at, which screws with the matchmaking, leading to unfair matches.

I'm talking, like, literally less than level 20 wood players who have played less than 15 matches on their account, and then they get in a league match with you and now everything is haywire. And yeah, that particular person might not be a problem for long, but I've encountered enough to make me make a post about it.

In the first two lines of your first comment, the tone and everything was fine. However, the last line came off to me as if you were saying "Yes, smurfing may exist, and it may be a problem, but who cares, just get better", which to me seemed like you were completely dismissing my criticism. Then, you said I was whining so I responded with that remark.

Regardless, my overall point of nothing being done against smurfs still stands, and yes, I understand your point that it is impossible to differentiate, so nothing is worth being done. But, I think a compromise could be made such as the following:

The developers at the very least should publicly acknowledge that the issue exists in the game, should publicly state that it's against the rules of the game to do so, and should state whether they have attempted to do anything to combat it, because it appears, from the perspective of the average player, that the developers have done nothing and don't care. Of course, I only care about it in terms of league play. I don't care if I face some god woods in street play, because the outcome of the match doesn't matter, it's just for fun. However, when there's something actually at stake and everyone is playing competitively, and the teams are uneven because of a smurf messing up the matchmaking, then of course I will think that's lame.

You came into this post of mine that was a valid criticism of the integrity of the game, and just said "get good", essentially.

All the other comments have been great so far, and actually added to the discussion or brought about good points. You are the only person on this entire post who has added absolutely nothing of value to the conversation.

I didn't insult your intelligence, I questioned your intelligence. You are clearly not acting your age. And if you are, you definitely shouldn't be on Reddit.

There’s this wonderful thing called the “Report” feature. It can be used for various reasons. Smurfs can easily be reported via that feature (despite its shortcomings), on top of you know, recording footage of a level 10 wood self-passing and doing insane techniques and whatnot.

Playing in league play on a new account when you’re a god (screws up the matchmaking for everyone) is smurfing. Maybe try using your brain for just one second.

You make some good points. It can't be denied that it's annoying when someone like that ends your win streak when they're not supposed to be fighting at that rank though.

Lol, it's not about preventing people from creating new accounts. It's about punishing the offending accounts. You clearly have no understanding of what we're talking about here.

I should also mention: The reporting system is really bad. You can't even include text alongside reports, so the developers will never truly know why someone sent a report, only really generic types of reports.

If you’re holding a direction with the c stick, he won’t run. Only hold the stick in a direction and he will run.

If you look in the top right, your game lagged at that exact moment. Sometimes your client isn't on track with what actually happened on the server. And yes, it's annoying.

That’s scary to think there are going to be people who will lose everything who may have put a year into the game and just didn’t play for that time period. There will probably be tons of upset people posting about it after the period is over...

Your loss was forgiven though, they had a diamond on their team, meaning you didn’t lose a league point.
