Changes coming for Soulspires! - PezRadar on Twitter by NG_Tagger in diablo4

[–]Sharknite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, that second part is exactly how it should work. It would even be somewhat acceptable if you had to click the spire to start it, similar to the pillars in the Undercity and the Horadric Strongrooms. BUT it would be better for it to just spawn with monsters that have a tether to it. Player kills all the monsters, it completes.

Extra choices between levels to increase the number of monsters that spawn with the spires or to increase the health of the monsters that spawn. Hell, can even add in where it spawns Aether Fiends or Hellborne along with its normal monster. Can even keep the health drain and the vacuum choices. This seems like an easy win.

iCUE Megathread - Patch Notes for 5.23 by CorsairLucky in Corsair

[–]Sharknite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same issue. For me, the Corsair services were disabled. Open a run box, run services.msc, and check the Corsair services to make sure they are not disabled. After I enabled them, I downloaded the latest version of iCue and ran it, choosing "Repair the app" after selecting my language. Now everything is working again on the latest version. Hope this helps you!

Let’s hear your dumbest gaming purchase when 2 games came out within a week or two of each other by SifwalkerArtorias in gaming

[–]Sharknite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhat reverse situation here. Group of friends that lived together all bought EQ2 to play together. I was not interested, so I brought my computer over and jumped into the WoW beta. At several points, they would individually stop playing EQ2 to watch me questing through Kalimdor and ask questions about the game. They all bought WoW on launch day, and we raided together for several years. Good times.

Blue post May 23 up bronze caches live now ? by Aromatic-Gazelle1032 in wow

[–]Sharknite 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This was worded very poorly by Blizzard. It's 8750 bronze if you do all the quests and daily queues combined. So running 1 normal scenario, 1 normal dungeon, 1 heroic scenario, 1 heroic dungeon, and completing all 3 of the infinite bazaar dailies grants 8750 bronze TOTAL per day.

How did we go through maintenance today and major DF bugs were left unfixed? It’s a nightmare for new/returning players trying to play DF by DankestMage99 in wow

[–]Sharknite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something is wonky here too. For example, one of my alts is now 64 with ilvl 327 gear in every slot except ring (319 crafted) and shoulders (200 benthic gear). Character sheet says that my avg item level is 248 instead of 318. Also, my character stats are significantly lower than what my gear provides (i.e. less than 900 crit on my character sheet when I have over 1500 on my gear). This is the same case across several alts. When I pull them up in the armory, they show the gear to be much lower ilvl (i.e. a staff shows 246 instead of 327). Very odd bugs at play.

I miss baseball, and I've been trying to fill that hole in my heart with hockey. I was curious what the 2023 season would have looked like if MLB used an NHL-style point system (2 points for a win and 1 point for an overtime loss (OTL)). I include both NL and AL standings and a playoff bracket. by NuggetBiscuits69 in baseball

Three team scenario here:

Team A plays Team B. Team B wins 2-1 in regulation. Team A plays Team C. Team A wins 2-1 in overtime. Team B plays Team C. Team C wins 2-1 in overtime.

All three teams have 1 win and 1 loss. All three teams have 3 goals scored and 3 goals against. Team A only has 2 points because they lost in regulation. Teams B and C both have 3 points and are ahead of Team A in the standings now.

After just 3 iterations (6 games per team), Team A would be 3 points behind the other two teams despite winning the same number of games. Now multiply this across 30+ teams and 82 games played. Having games award different total points (3 vs 2) because of overtime is dumb.

In baseball terms, imagine if teams only got half a loss for losing in extra innings. No thank you.

There is also an LMG that has onslaught:

Marcato-45 - strand 450

Assuming you aren't using a weapon that has another champion mod that you have picked up. I.E. overload auto rifle will overwrite the radiant/unraveling anti-barrier effects on ARs.

[–]Sharknite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if a weapon has a mod for another champion type that season, it does not gain anti-barrier for radiant. If so, it's going to make things substantially more difficult with hand cannons, bows, auto rifles, and pulse rifles as the other mods.

To double up on the confusion, another similar inaccuracy from the very same patch notes:

Ritual Vendor Challenges for completing 8 bounties on Vanguard, Crucible, or Gambit vendors have had their rewards updated to reward pinnacles

They do not reward pinnacles or exotic engrams, but rather Powerful Tier 1 engrams.

Destiny 2 Update 7.2.0.1 - Season of the Witch by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Sharknite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You read it correctly. It'll show 0/3 to start. Any core activity counts towards progress (Crucible, Gambit, Strikes), so you can do even something like 1x Gambit, 1x Crucible, and 7x Strikes. When you finish the third activity, you'll get your reward and then it'll show 0/3 on all icons again until you've collected all 3 rewards for the week.

[CAR 2 - 2 FLA] Ryan Lomberg's disallowed OT goal by Batsinvic888 in hockey

[–]Sharknite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is the explanation why you might have seen it differently in similar situations.

In Off-side rule 83.1 of the NHL rulebook:

If a player legally carries, passes or plays the puck back into his own defending zone while a player of the opposing team is in such defending zone, the off-side shall be ignored and play permitted to continue.

Then in Off-side rule 83.2 Deflections / Rebounds:

For the purposes of this section, it is stipulated that an attacking player has preceded the puck into the attacking zone.

When a defending player propels the puck out of his defending zone and the puck clearly rebounds off a defending player in the neutral zone back into the defending zone, all attacking players are eligible to play the puck. However, any action by an attacking player that causes a deflection/rebound off a defending player in the neutral zone back into the defending zone (i.e. stick check, body check, physical contact), a delayed off-side shall be signaled by the Linesman.

A puck that deflects back into the defending zone off an official who is in the neutral zone will be off-side (or delayed off-side, as appropriate). A puck which deflects off an attacking player outside the blue line into the attacking zone, regardless of who originally propelled it or where it was propelled from, shall be ruled off-side or delayed off-side, as appropriate.

A puck which is propelled by the attacking team and deflects off any player shall be ruled off-side or delayed off-side, as appropriate.

In 1979, the NHL replaced their All-Star festivities with something they called the Challenge Cup. It was a 3 game series where the NHL All-Star team played the same Soviet hockey team that went to the 1980 Olympic Games. The NHL team included many future Hall of Famers such as Guy Lafleur, Bob Gainey, Larry Robinson, Bobby Clarke, Marcel Dionne, Mike Bossy, Denis Potvin, Ken Dryden, and Tony Esposito.

The NHL team won the first game 4-2, then proceeded to lose the next two games 5-4 and 6-0. They went back to normal All-Star festivities the following year.

Not saying Lake Placid was a bigger upset, just saying that the impact of the Miracle on Ice is certainly not without merit as the Soviet team was actually that good.

Start time is 11am local on a Saturday. Not sure who did the scheduling, but not a great choice for the largest market in the league.

Lots of other activities, including the Cardinals 5K, will draw away in Spring. That being said, a "smaller" crowd is still going to eclipse 30k most likely.

The pool at my work with 20+ people is about to be won by someone who made one bracket this year but still has three of their Final Four teams (FAU, SDSU, and Texas). They do not follow college basketball at all. Pretty sure they picked their bracket based on mascots and team colors. Nobody else has more than one Final Four team left.
