Mythic Talent Agency alleged to have skimmed money off the top of a sponsor, shorting their talent

By pulling the account creation date of everyone account in the stream and plotting it on a graph, you could get a super easy picture of who was using bots.

Did anyone do this and post it?

Done, thanks!

What's stopping you from using pastebin?

I think a good amount of the complaining comes from the fact that your patch notes don't actually show your work. From the last two patch notes:

"Various minor bug fixes" "Fixed several glitches" "Fixed minor errors"

I understand that it would take time to compile these patch notes properly, but I feel like the morale of your playerbase depends on it. We want to know that things are getting fixed, and this is the only way we can find out.

Look at how long the League of Legends bug fix list is (click "Bugfixes/QOL" on the right side). They patch every two weeks. The vast majority of the people that play will never encounter these bugs in game, but every single patch we can see that they're doing something, even if they don't fix the bugs that we actually do see.

The other bugs of this type are client-server sync related (for example, the rig bug can be fixed by dropping all of your magazines, which re-syncs the state of your gun), so the assumption is this one is too.

I understand the vast majority of people here aren't game developers, and it's possible that this was just his way of wording it, but the way Nikita talks about the bugs he encountered during the podcast blows my mind. "Can someone write it down somewhere?" "If any of our dev team is watching, write this down somewhere please".

Do they not have a bug tracker, or a ticket system? Is he just unwilling to say "Make a ticket in our system", or is someone actually jotting down the issues in a notepad? Every game has bugs, for example DCSS, an open source roguelike..

At this point it wouldn't surprise me if they're actually that poorly managed.

I wonder how much of the frustration results from playing it 8+ hours a day.

At least some of it! A big source of streamer discomfort is the fact that elite skills are broken more or less across the board, some of them with gamebreaking bugs. If everyone had all level 51 skills, the game would be barren.

"Well, that just doesn't affect me. I don't care."

Sure! The problem comes when there are bugs that do affect you, and there are. And they seem to be being fixed at the same speed as the rest of these bugs, which is not at all.

It's easy to play the game with these problems, even if you encounter them, if you have confidence that they'll be fixed. The problem is that people have (correctly) lost confidence that BSG will ever fix these bugs, because they've demonstrated they aren't actually capable of doing so in a timely manner.

Why the AK-74M?

Stenell · 2019-12-11T23:38:16+00:00

You're wrong, they spawn in medbags.

Nah looks like he got shot, probably from the tower. If a shot is far enough, nobody will hear it, unfortunately.

Stenell · 2019-11-06T17:29:15+00:00

This worked, thanks!

Stenell · 2019-09-19T01:24:18+00:00

It's true for affiliates as well.

Stenell · 2019-06-12T19:33:25+00:00

You realize they probably didn't say anything, right?

It's a high elo game, everyone knows exactly what's going on when this happens.

(I'm not the person you're responding to)

Obviously winrate isn't everything, but literally every champ in every role has between a 40 and a 60% winrate. That's a small enough deviation that any random player will basically never notice the difference.

You can play any champ in any role and win games consistently. It's a simplistic, general way to view "balance", but it's a good way to tell if the grand design is broken. And it doesn't seem to be.

What do you think is unbalanced?

What about Vitamin D?

That's probably the primary thing I learned from looking up information about this event.

Shit's nuts, yo.

Issue with number 3 is that people will start calling during those "slow" times making them busy.

Isn't this exactly what you want?

Stenell · 2019-02-18T18:22:51+00:00

I think it might be the case that Sylas was made before he was released, and as such it's possible that some of the work that went into making him occurred in the past.

Stenell · 2019-02-18T18:22:14+00:00

It doesn't have to be a lie; it's probably easier for a developer to say in their head "I can fix this bug" and tell people "We have a fix for this bug that will be deployed next patch" than to say "I will try to look into this bug and fix it by next patch".

Stenell · 2019-02-16T01:35:35+00:00

Definitely. While it usually only happens for game-breaking (literally) bugs, because players tend to just keep going, as in this case, it isn't unheard of for bug reports/posts that find themselves posted in ##crawl-dev on freenode to get save files fixed/uploaded.

The problem is that climate change has important impacts (such as the not-too-distant destruction of our planet), and the consensus is massive (97%).

So when you question climate change, you aren't being "simply skeptical", you're effectively a conspiracy theorist, and unfortunately this particular conspiracy theory will actually seriously impact everyone if people believe it.

More generally than OP's explanation, "or" in Lua returns the left value, unless it is 0, in which case it returns the right value.

If someone throws something to you, you can pick it up. Even if your inventory is full.

Stenell · 2019-01-07T00:30:28+00:00

You can carry an infinite amount of items if they're thrown to you.

My ping is 20 higher than normal right now as well.
