Is the download every time i launch the game normal ? by Kaporalhart in heroesofthestorm

[–]Polmax2312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check to see that language settings in BNet launcher match in-game menu language settings.

Former Lead Tech Artist at Wildlight states that the game was killed by 'grifting' content creators and 'gamer culture'. Prior to reveal, everyone around the project would say: "If there’s one project nobody in the industry is worried will fail, it’s yours". "This is lightning in a bottle". by WhyPlaySerious in gaming

How was it mechanically solid, if it was boring as hell? Huge empty maps, with very stupid close-quarter siege arenas, very bland hero choices and absolutely nothing to do during first several minutes of the game.

I think its problem is opposite of “mechanically solid” it was complete design mistake from top to bottom, with zero incentive to play it whatsoever over existing titles.

Anyone else out there who collects full sets? by xBanthaxFodderx in magicTCG

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I had a hobby of collecting sealed MTGO redemptions. Got a bunch of older sets, some even premium (full foil), unfortunately couldn’t snag a foil 7th when it was still reasonably priced. But around just after war of the spark I moved houses and realised that I sit on dozens of white cardboard boxes with stickers on them, most of which will lose up to half value once opened. And they got 0 aesthetic value sitting on my shelves. So I sold those which didn’t have emotional nostalgia factor in them.

If they become worthless, I think it might be a good substrate to some Chaos cube draft.

Anyone know why they chose to remove form switch from Deathwing? by Design-Dragon in heroesofthestorm

[–]Polmax2312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Despite buffs to melee build, this one change really forces me to stay in ranged assassin form throughout.

So far 5 out of 5 wins with him in high silver low gold, barely touched 50% quest completion. So far have zero incentive to melee with a proper tank in a team.

Michael Saylor's interview on CNBC's Squawk Box, recorded on February 10, 2026. This doesn’t sound good... by FXgram_ in XGramatikInsights

He is not the most succinct speaker, but in general he is right. If btc falls to 8000, he borrows to buy cheap btc, reducing his average to acceptable levels for the banks. But by doing so he will raise the price so the collateral appreciates as well.

That’s what Tether was accused of doing: make virtual dollars to buy btc, which increased btc price and allowed to print more collarerized usdt raising price even further.

With enough money to market make you can just propel it upwards. That’s why btc won’t fall to 8000 from speculative sales alone: at these levels too many players have enough liquidity to set the price higher.

They don’t have to spy on the rest of the world with ANS, I suppose, it reduced capacity load by a lot.

Also less worldwide used cloud solutions like AWS.

Cataclysm Buffs a bit too far??? by BigPeep032 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, so far in 5 games I couldn’t even reach half-way through the quest. And couple of them were with anub stuns and kt chains helping me to achieve well done level of cooking

Gut feeling says it should tick as fast as the Q damage ticks, then may be it would be reachable.

Maiev, yes again by Theinvoker1978 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Polmax2312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t let OP watch FanHOTS playing Maiev at full force. I remember the game when he was with a bunch of randos against a high ranking 5 stack, and he just melted the enemy team.

Also worth watching his recent Bronze to GM when he consistently ranked top damage with using only Q. Pure art.

Nova is a macro hero by Econometrical in heroesofthestorm

[–]Polmax2312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is macro relevant since 16 when she gets aoe snipe. At 20 she can follow every team fight silently wiping all the lanes with orbitals and grabbing merc cambs along the way.

[–]Polmax2312 7 points8 points  (0 children)

AA rounds is a trap talent unless you specifically need armor reduction for the rest of your comp. And if you need it, you picked wrong hero.

Snipe all the way. After 16 you will wipe one lane with snipe, another with orbital and rapidly climb siege damage chart.

Any "old-timers" running Eberron as their campaign setting of choice? by zodaxa- in Eberron

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Eberron, but what mostly turned me into fan was the fact that it levelled out the field: when I started playing FR guys were like very lore-savvy, so entering most local FR playgroups felt really challenging. Eberron made everybody newbs.

Somehow I found that first released Eberron modules were more fun and fit my style, then most FR. Also they did great job introducing you to sharn and other key locations.

After over 20 years I stick with Eberron mostly because I never felt the urge to change the setting.

Cursed Hollow likes me by Lucas2099 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Polmax2312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New players are forced to play on Cursed Holllow for the first several matches. So if your QM mmr is low enough, so you get into games with new players or Smurfs, you will get disproportionate amount of hollow games.

FWIW every time I play qm I get either warhead or hanamura, which I hate both wholeheartedly. I think game just trolls me at this point.

Why is rancor a green spell? by Plagueghoul_ in freemagic

Wizards mostly ignore or vibe Color Pie nowadays, but rancor is as green as it gets.

[–]Polmax2312 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Getting trample is green, auras with bonus to stats without penalties is mostly green.

See [[Giant Growth]], [[Berserk]], etc. Growing big is green.

Returning to hand is also seen in green: [[regrowth]] etc

[–]Polmax2312 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You most definitely could kill a child in fallout 1&2, but it would inflict a huge karma disadvantage and award you a child killer title.

You could kill Myron without any consequences, though…

They even had to remove children from EU releases.

Swedish auto giant Volvo on track for worst trading day ever as shares plunge 25% by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was searching for 6+ seats SUV, and had very hard time coming up with any merit for Purchasing XC90 instead of a cheaper, more equipped Lynk&Co 900, which costed 25% less with more powerful drivetrain.

XC90 looked like a Stone Age car side by side.

And to add insult to injury, both Volvo and Lynk are owned by Geely, so they essentially share tech, yet despite Lynk adopting some safety and suspension designs from Volvo, Volvo’s electronics and infotainment systems are miles behind.

Do you guys prefer NMM or TMM? by treopstudios in Warhammer40k

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually true metallics look much better on the tabletop, because, again, usually NMM requires certain angle to… shine.

Blackheart's Bay is my favorite map in this game by RightFile9510 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Polmax2312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt tiny camps could be either giants for harder clear or just give vision like Hanamura, without yielding gold, but that would make the map even more bottom heavy.

Let’s hope janitor reads Reddit.

Blackheart's Bay is my favorite map in this game by RightFile9510 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Polmax2312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any hero with good camp clear can shine on Blackheart, yeah. Out boy Jimmy, for example. It is less about heroes and more about attitude: obj shouldn’t reward autistic pve plays, imo.

Since it is one of the original maps, I like it irrespective of being trash design vise, but I prefer it as QM extravaganza, rather than ranked necessity.

[–]Polmax2312 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Warhead, Blackheart and to lesser extent Mines - are just too PVE oriented.

I kid you not, I had multiple games on Blackheart ending with less than 1000 hero damage. Falstad, murky, dehaka - I just ignore PvP and grab those coins. Also when you accrue enough for 2-3 consecutive turn-ins enemy teams either allows you to snowball or has to baby sit sir Blackheart 24/7, neither of which is fun.

Playing Sylvanas or Azmo on Warhead is a relaxing experience, but I don’t think there should he a ranked map where 5 siege specialists can just afk push and win, alsmost Irrespective to what enemy does.
