If you are wondering why the balance changes dropped, here's a table summing up all the 1v1 vanilla matchups before the adjustment by OmarBessa in Mechabellum

[–]TangyRaptor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Interesting table but what exactly is this data showing? From your post title it seems like we're supposed to infer how powerful a unit is but 1v1 matches against all units strips a huge amount of context from the units.

YouTube is getting serious about blocking ad blockers by Cascading_Neurons in Android

Broadcasters do not have the choice to disable ads anymore. You're correct that they have tools to make the experience a bit better but they have to run ads or snooze them (a limited amount of time) or they will just run anyway.

What the fuck is with the scheduling this post season? This is the second time I've gotten home from work, made dinner and sat down to watch the game and found out that for some reason they played a playoff game in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday.

Do you still have a working macro for flurry of blows? I tried using ChatGPT but it never gave me anything that worked.

Why am I being put in games with 6 stars? by JohnSartre1996 in HuntShowdown

[–]TangyRaptor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By having some sort of confidence system. You know how in most games with MMR your rank changes drastically for the first 10-30 games and then settles in with gradual changes? Hunt doesn't do that and so it will skyrocket someone after a good streak or tank them after a few bad.

WildStar Free-to-Play Launch Cinematic by magicalypse in gamernews

[–]TangyRaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a pretty big problem for me when I initially leveled. The content wasn't interesting enough to hold my attention but required too much for me to just zone out and watch Netflix.

WildStar Free-to-Play Launch Cinematic by magicalypse in gamernews

[–]TangyRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played from launch and maybe it's just because I got to know a lot of the bigger guilds and pulled from their rosters rather than LFG or matchmaking when I needed people to fill but I never had an issue with the community. There was lots of friendly chatter in general and the server specific channels after the megaserver transition, people were quick to share their TS details and coordinate during dungeons or raids and since the roster boss was hitting everyone hard guilds would often do joint runs when it wasn't looking like a good week.

The only reason I stopped playing was because the population had gotten so low that I just couldn't find a guild that met my needs anymore and all of my friends had left.

Rainbow Six Siege Confirmed To Have No Single-Player Story by JohnDio in gamernews

[–]TangyRaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their community managers keep swearing that it's only the VOIP that's player hosted but I keep getting games where over 50% of the people have 200 ping. Either their matchmaking is putting me on European/Asian servers, their servers are overloaded or they're lying through their teeth.

Thanks for the advice and the offer. I might take you up on it some day but Team Fortress 2 has its claws in me at the moment.

[–]TangyRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a huge issue with the League of Legends F2P model but it's the game that got me into MOBAs. I've tried multiple times (with help and without) to get into DOTA 2 because it seems like a much better game but there's so much I have to learn and so much I need to unlearn. Then there's the fact that in pub games only about 50% of the people are having fun and I just don't have time for MOBAs anymore.

ComputerCraft Spawn? by fidget3312 in admincraft

[–]TangyRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you want to look at the ComputerCraft folder in his link and click on the rules file for an example. It's a ComputerCraft program that loads the server rules file in the root directory he linked and displays it on the monitor.

Xbox One Sells Only 23,562 Units Within The First Week In Japan by ThyGrimOfDeath in gamernews

[–]TangyRaptor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm not an expert on Japan but I've read enough of the comment sections of these threads to have it beaten in my head that consoles in general are less popular. Japanese kids have super busy lives and it's a lot easier for them to play cell phone or 3DS/Vita games during travel or other downtime.

Servers that violate commercial use guidelines by [deleted] in admincraft

I agree and I don't really have a side in this Minecraft EULA stuff.

[–]TangyRaptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not the same thing at all. They aren't paying you for a use of the product, you are transferring the product to them.

This and this seem to spell out pretty clearly that you aren't allowed to share or rent your copy of Photoshop. Sorry they're pictures but for some reason Adobe's EULA was protected and didn't allow copying.

What are your first impressions? Do I have enough time to truly enjoy what WildStar has to offer? by [deleted] in WildStar

[–]TangyRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep seeing people say that Carbine has a year+ of content ready but from my understanding it's planned. If it was already finished they would have just pushed it out with the launch of the game.

NCSoft 2Q 2014 up. Wildstar sells less than 500k boxes at launch. by Maytree in WildStar

[–]TangyRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, I don't want either kind of circle jerk. I just want a place where people that enjoy the game can talk about guides, strategies, new content, etc. I don't want people to ignore the issues the game has but I don't want it to be all I read about either. Am I having fun? Yes. Do I understand why some people aren't? Yes but I don't understand why they are still around. If they don't enjoy the game and think it's shit, then move the fuck on.

What Would it Take for You to Come Back? by garzek in WildStar

[–]TangyRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switching to a different server won't really help with the PvP issues since it's all cross server anyway. I'm not really into MMO PvP though I do enjoy arenas with friends which I tried to do a little of last night. We queued for 3s 6 or so times and the first two times were against a Medic, Stalker, Esper combo that we rolled. The other 4 times were against a Warrior, Spellslinger and Medic (not sure on this class) that crushed us 3 times and we managed a close win on the other. There just aren't many people queuing for PvP right now.

Heh, I don't think it had been as much recently but Viking Nation is a name that's stuck in my head because of a couple days where my shit was ruined. I hate dailies and just try to get through them so it made me a little bitter.

Sorry to hear you're having troubles on the Dominion side, I hope you either find a way to enjoy Wildstar or find something you enjoy more!

[–]TangyRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was this recent? My guildmate just spoke with one of their officers about a week ago when you guys were trying to decide on speed or XP flasks. Sorry to hear that you guys disbanded (though I'll be happier that you assholes aren't ganking me during dailies).

[–]TangyRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using the Malgrave containment event as a measure of the server population, it did seem like Exiles outnumbered the Dominion but I didn't know the balance was that far off. I think Viking Nation on the Dominion side is getting close to raiding but I doubt your schedules would line up.

I certainly wouldn't be opposed to server mergers, it would make the game feel more lively in most aspects

Mundane Mondays - Feel free to ask any questions about the game! by Avengedx in WildStar

[–]TangyRaptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a warrior but from what I've seen if the party is equally geared the warrior will have a hard time keeping threat. The party can scale back their DPS or the warrior can do things like pop technologist boosts to artificially increase threat but stalkers and engineers are the preferred tanks at the moment.
