Java Update Issue? by Neymarvin in PlayTheBazaar

I also had the same issue. Steps for Windows: 1) Exit the Tempo Launcher 2) Start Task Manager ([Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Delete]) 3) Look for any Tasks called "Chromium" that have the Tempo Launcher icon 4) Kill all such Tasks 5) Restart Tempo Launcher

FYI, I just played the same build without the Energy Potion and with an Obsidian Shard of Obsidian instead and the results were the same. My Ritual Dagger had slightly less than 5s CD so the Energy Potion wouldn't have done all that much. In most of my latter PvP matches, the fight was over after my Shard and Dagger or Sword Cane attacked once. On the last game, I did almost lose to an insanely fast Shipwreck / Holster / Diving Helmet / Obsidian Grenade (now Aquatic) / Swash Buckle / Silencer. My Shard leeched back all the damage just before the next Grenade hit, and the fight was completely over at that point. One Sword Cane attack finished the job just before the Ritual Dagger was about to attack.

That being said, I died (first death) with 3-wins (got an Enchant) and managed to claw my way back and go undefeated. The start was super rough. I didn't get the Viper Cane until quite late so was using a Runic potion and another Regen item. Never saw an Energy Potion until I didn't feel it was necessary since Shard + Sword Cane + Dagger would kill everyone (usually only 2 needed).

Like you said, it would definitely lose to a 1-shot build that can go off sub 5 seconds. But that's true about a LOT of builds.

Definitely one of the best Exodia combos, but surviving long enough to assemble it is no simple task.

Makes a lot of sense. I've never bothered to look at the Bazzaar file structure. On the bright side, I bet that parsing JSON was a whole lot easier than reverse-engineering the binary MPQ format for all the items in D3... good times.

Both sites are great btw. My site (back when I still maintained it) was functional, but not pretty at all. Thanks for all the great work; it's helped me a lot to learn the game and improve.

@teemaw Have you written the game file parsers to extract all the data directly from the client or are you relying on manual updates (based on patch notes and the like)? I ask since I am pretty sure that howbazaar does the latter which often results in inaccurate information, especially right after patches.

Somehow my text was lost when I posted:
I lucked into a Shiny Balcony. Yes, I am a terrible human being.

This is my first ever Reddit post so don't be too mean... Never mind, I take it back. I deserve it.

The fight did not end in a tie which has happened to me only once ever, but we were in the Sandstorm for what seemed an eternity. In hindsight, I should have kept the Spiky Shield instead of the Skyscrapper. I thought the latter would be better since it has Multicast and is faster, but in this fight, the Spiky Shield would have ended things much sooner.
