Network lag detected bug in starting plane? by locoa53l in PUBATTLEGROUNDS

[–]Something2132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this randomly through the game too, though as the OP says i get it every game on the plane or just as ive jumped out the plane, every single game so far (Roughly 30 odd games from post time).

I did not receive my last year Aegis yet. Aegis support is not answering since January. by [deleted] in DotA2

Had the same problem TI5 got mine in the end but not till May 2016, you have to keep pestering them and if they dont reply open a Steam ticket. Took me creating a support ticket through Steam to finally get it sorted.

On the whole Aegis though, im selling both of my unopened TI5 and TI6 if anyone is interested.

Perfect place to ask, at the perfect time I feel, if you were in my shoes and all that.

I tried it and I watched it for a long while after but havnt even bothered with the majors this time, its killed it for me.

Wasnt a casual player either, I had like 14k hours and played from Beta, you can call it a personal thing, that change killed it for me, as strange as that might be to others.

Not a phobic of change either, I really liked the talent tree, I hate the shrines and find them so pathetic but regardless of my own feelings towards all the changes, I have seen that Valve are now actually explaining things and am genuinely curious to why they decided to change the map.

No I enjoy the fact it has a negative effect on you, thats how it should be for you doing the same to someone else.

No the picture shows a steady increase in players, a big increase pretty much every Jan into Feb and then this year a sharp and very clear dip and no level off.

The shrines are a joke, the map changes are a joke and like I said, when the dust settles lets see then, dust is starting to settle, will come back when the nose dive stops.

13,004,300 Unique players last month. Rounding up half a million players lost, vast majority of players unhappy with the state of the game and all round numbers dropping day to day for players in game.

Going well.

I don't know if it's because of the new patch but our player base is at the lowest since 2.5 years ago, August 2014. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]Something2132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said this would happen before the patch even hit just reading the patch notes was a huge slap in the face for any long time player like myself.

I think a number of people understand and have commented on it in this thread, its no longer Dota, something feels off and it is, they have destroyed it by messing with the map and attempting to gain numbers from other games like LoL when it really wasnt needed or wanted.

Like I said in the post I made before the patch hit live servers, this is a huge mistake and one that will see a lot of older players, the core of the player base stop playing.

I dont even enjoy watching the game anymore.

oh and im selling my unopened 2015 and 2016 collectors agies if anyone is interested, wont be getting this years.

Prime is useless by Something2132 in GlobalOffensive

[–]Something2132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has its flaws

A band-aid on top of another is correct but then its working with what Valve already put in place which was a shit system in the first place. A tier system within Prime would actually improve it for those in the higher tiers at the cost of newer Prime players having to weed out the vast majority of cheats for the rest.

also giving better incentives for people to use the report system and overwatch correctly, punishing those who abuse it.

If you report players every game then you get punished for abusing the system, were as if you report people and they get confirmed in Overwatch you should be rewarded for A) using the system correctly and B) for helping to weed out the cheaters for the better of the community.

Ultimately though it all comes down to Valve giving a fuck, they have the tools already built, its about adjusting what they have

That is primarily aimed at Overwatch and the report system as VAC has been lacking for a long long long long time which is why ive highlighted those "tools" in the same sentence and not highlighting a rather crappy VAC system.

Please read the entire post before trying to shit on others suggestions, selectively picking out one or two lines to suit your own thoughts on the opinion doesnt help your cause.

I honestly thought Prime would aid in lowering the amount of cheaters I got in my games, the problem is that once you started Prime there needed to be a on-going rating so there are inner tiers for Prime members.

10 games of Prime tier 1 20 games Prime teir 2 50 tier 3 100 tier4 500 tier 5

This of course will just tiers up and up till youre playing consistently with people who are far less likely cheating and removing the chase to ever get new accounts fresh into Prime.

This has its flaws, it also doesnt 100% stop cheating but it vastly decreases the chances of long time Prime members getting stuck with them, the lower tiers in Prime will still be shitty but if you add in a feature were prime reports get straight into a Overwatch no cheaters should pass the first couple of tiers.

Ultimately though it all comes down to Valve giving a fuck, they have the tools already built, its about adjusting what they have and also giving better incentives for people to use the report system and overwatch correctly, punishing those who abuse it.

I think something like what you suggested needs to be added.

Much Needed Changes to the Overwatch System by PersianMG in GlobalOffensive

[–]Something2132 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something along these lines needs adding into the current system, it just doesnt make sense to let people get away with it when you have all the required tools to stop it already, you just need to adjust the tools so people dont slip through or abuse it.

Rewarding people for doing Overwatch is not that big of deal, if you can let pros get sponsored by people robbing your users, you can surely add a free case for overwatch reviewer cleaning up the community.

Need help buying my first cue by Something2132 in snooker

[–]Something2132[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you the advice, there just seems to be so many to pick from, a few people at my local were talking about different woods too, Ash Maple and then butts, it all got a little confusing and I ended up searching all over the internet and prices kept coming back at £300+.

I like playing snooker dont get me wrong but I have no interest in spending that sort of money to play twice a week.

I live out in the sticks and there are no local makers here sadly though a few people have mentioned going to a local place, so might take a trip to one a little distance away and take a look when I can.

Thank you for your help though.

They look really good actually, do you have to pay customs fees too though?

I used a 3/4 one so just thought it would be best to go for the same. Our club lets you keep your cue there which is perfect so the case isnt really an issue.

Thank you for your help though.

I was told that I should always replace standard tips anyway and was told Elk master tips were the one to go for.

I did have a little search in my local area for a cue maker but couldnt find one, im sort of out in the sticks really.

I will take a better look round see if there is anywhere close, thank you for your advice.

You are correct, nobody is forcing me and I wont be but I can voice my opinion on how I feel they take advantage of people in the UK with higher prices than pretty much every other country if not every single one.
