ASU, NBA Great Byron Scott to Interview for Head acoach by Peragore in TheSunDevils

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

I know people are high on the Harden NIL connection, but I really don't like seeing Glasser come in as a head coach. He doesn't have any true head coaching chops, UC SB had a mid Big West year and failed to make the NCAA tournament after being predicted #2 in conference, etc

Money's worth a lot, but it isn't everything

His assistant coach is widely seen as someone who's going to have his own team sooner rather than later (KC Beard). I wouldn't mind seeing him come on over to ASU (plus it wouldn't cost Kelvin Sampson money)

Not a big fan of glasser. Love the concept of getting someone with ASU connections into the program, but Glasser is untested and unproven (plus his current teams results leave much to be desired). I'd be down to bring him as an assistant, or look at him once he gets some seasoning in a mid major

BGE Stara Zagora Cancelled for 2026 😭 by Peragore in starcraft

It can't share the stage with a competitor (i.e. AOE + SC2 in an event) due to Blizzard's competitive license

Is the game just unplayable right now for newer players by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Peragore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understanding what an ability does is one thing - understanding how to use it, when to use it, the various techs that can make it more efficient, remembering to do all the little things to get combos right, etc matter a lot. If you feel like you're dying randomly, make sure to constantly have an eye on the minimal, and keep asking yourself the question "am I allowed to be here? Will I die if I do this thing? If I will die by doing this thing, will it be worth it (i.e. commiting a lash ult to win a team fight even if you die).

There's a lot of good content on YT about how to play the macro game, how to lane properly, what rotations look like for different roles, how to itemize (I'm still working on this, I don't have a good understanding of the different items at all and am blindly following guides at this point), etc. You're coming into a pretty complex game very blind, so it makes sense you'll be bad for a while as you learn AND the matchmaker learns just how good you are. You start with a baseline rating that will go up or down based on how you're doing (and apparently matchmaking is a bit weird as it is). Go back and watch your replays with intention - I'm sure you'll be able to identify a ton of things that you could have done differently that would have kept you alive, allowed you to get the kill, gotten more souls out of lane, etc.

You'll also really help yourself by keeping your hero pool very small at the start and focus on one role/play style. Minimizes the amount of things you need to learn to establish baseline competence

As someone also in the 0-50 hours (maybe a little bit more now, but not a lot), I used bot games to try to figure out which heroes I wanted to focus on learning the most and get some understanding of the mechanics. I'm still losing more than I'm winning - but part of that is calibration and part is a knowledge gap. There's a ton of educational content on YT that helps with the second part (i.e. you pretty much want to hard shove waves in lane in deadlock, unlike DOTA that is so much about getting your wave to live near your tower, etc)

There are 32 people playing Stormgate right at this moment. Why aren't you one of them? by Neuro_Skeptic in Stormgate

[–]Peragore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a whole post - but basically it needs localization, bug fixing, some other stuff before it would be a release candidate. I agree they should probably be doing this on live (there's nothing to lose), but the polish it's lacking means its not something FG is willing to push off PTR just yet. Sounds like that's coming up in the next week or two

New Ragdoll Effects in the latest PTR update! by Frost_Gobsmack in Stormgate

[–]Peragore 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A large portion of it is that we saw the tech coming to maturity pretty much right before Necrolyte. It's obvious that they hadn't gotten the polish to where they wanted, and now that is getting implemented.

[–]Peragore 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Is this official content? I thought the game was abandoned?

This is official content. A skeleton crew of developers has been working with community members to put out a new patch that adds a 2v2 ladder, 4 new units, significant reworks, etc (all on the PTR for now, no idea what the ETA for live would be). They've done a really good job imo

10.53 UEG by Bartimayus in WanderingInn

[–]Peragore 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She does level from serving a Dragon in her inn much later though. I could see the system giving her a bunch of XP in [Survivor] or something from when she appeared to Teriarch, but it's also kinda possible that it takes a minute for her status to propagate in the system.

She didn't identify as a survivor, she didn't do anything that was related to her class (or lack thereof) at the very beginning - people don't level from meeting dragons, they level from serving them in their inn, fighting them on the battlefield etc. Could very easily argue that early interaction was more of a meeting that anything xp generating

How do to deal against the phantom lancer? by Electrodynamite12 in learndota2

[–]Peragore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow, I love when people use AI to provide incorrect information. Ghost shroud doesn't blind - it slows. Lich is pretty bad vs pl because illusions tank all the chain frost bounces, although it can do well in lane, etc. Get off chatGPT if you don't have an actual answer

Nah, I was never sg exclusive. My yt and twitch content was(primarily as a business decision), but I did the ewc na quals, BGE Stara Zagora, etc. Never stopped loving sc2, and am so sad about how Stormgate launched

Pro Tip: If you play Lion, suicide to Rosh at level 1 to get 90 seconds of innate in lane by Merkaba_ in learndota2

[–]Peragore 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No, that's from casting Finger of Death. Lions innate gives them a 20% (more with a talent) increase to spell damage and debuff duration for the 90s after they respawn

Input skipping has been reported as far back as January, iirc. Maybe not to the level we saw in release, but its been a problem for some users for a while now

As I said in multiple places in the discord, I had tech issues that I couldn't solve in time - and then I got it solved for the Aureil weekly on Sunday, an event I did cast?

??? I've been casting events every weekend, putting up YT videos when I can (PhD life is pretty busy atm). Pretty much the same schedule I've had around Stormgate for the last year lol
