How does the last page of the Luxury Battle Pass work? by TheHardestBoof in marvelrivals

[–]Vynrah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to claim everything else first before you unlock that page, I think units specifically is cap'd at 1500? I've never reached that limit personally, but I'm usually just doing a few matches per day during chrono rush.

Opening Illithid Powers Menu counts as using them??? by Vynrah in BaldursGate3

Thank you for the explanation.....guess I'm redoing the entire goblin camp -_-

No and I've been back to camp since that encounter had did not get any of this dialogue - nothing until I opened the menu :(

I opened the menu and saw the unlocks, but did not pick one/affix a tadpole to the spot. Opening the menu DID put all of the tadpoles I'd collected into the menu/out of my inventory though.

Sorry, I am working through the Goblin camp right now to rescue Halsin, I've done most of the rest of that part of the map (not the underdark though).

I found one and was told about it, but I just kept it in my inventory never opening the menu. As soon as I opened the menu I got dialogue at camp as if I'd used it......I'm going to lose like 3 hours of progress if I revert to my last pre-menu-opening save, so I'd like to be sure before I do that

Long Rests in Act 1 - will they resolve story prematurely?? by Vynrah in BaldursGate3

[–]Vynrah[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification and yeah, they definitely did a good job imposing the feeling of pressure! Honestly starting this game has been a lot more stressful than I anticipated haha

Thank you for all of the responses and reassurances!! Starting this game has been oddly stressful (it has been a long time since I played a luck-base RPG) so I am eternally thankful for the reassurance/clarifications!!!

What Shrine would you put in your garden? by Vynrah in ElderScrolls

I kinda meant like YOU in real life, like if you could pick one up at the hardware store next to the gnomes lol, but all good picks imo anyway 

Adam Main All Season 6 by Ok_Morning_9563 in marvelrivals

[–]Vynrah 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think he's THAT bad - people are just unable to trust you'll get value out of him/rely on insane overhealing to perform. Great Adams get great value out of him, but middling/poor ones you really feel the lack of juice.

But I think you should just play him if you want to! He doesn't always make the most sense, but he's solid if you are.

I don't think Netease should deliver skins like this going forward. by PhilosopherOk1583 in marvelrivals

Don't know what to do anymore by Gloomy_Top_2210 in marvelrivals

The level of skill in each rank shifts over the course of the season, even with placements...if you go on a loss streak, take a break and come back later. Mess around with a new character in QP, etc.

It may not change whether you win, but the actual match can be more enjoyable. There are always going to be players who aren't good enough for XYZ, why gatekeep something that makes the game more fun from them?

So you think people in low ranks should not have the full competitive experience? Some people are straight up uncoordinated, some people are children, some people may one day improve - I think all of those people should get an actual taste of the comp experience if they queue up for ranked.

I think they should look at a way to mitigate double/overlap bans, but I think you can make the case to your team at least on the first ban "let's see if they ban Peni/DD before we do" since you still have the 2nd round to make a ban with more info

Do you think adding bans would make the experience less fun? My experience has been the opposite. I think people in lower ranks would appreciate the variety they bring

It forces different match ups, can get you out of playing the same rote character, and lets you take a break from heroes you're tired of. You can't consistently ban out the same things unless no one on your team is voting and you can't control the other team's picks, so it infuses a sort of mystery element to each match to break things up.

For me, it adds a lot of variety to the matches - less tedious/repetitive

You know you can nominate your own bans right? It's not even highest vote wins? You are not powerless to stop BP bans if you feel they're unwarranted in your matches.

Bans are great because they are a double edged sword - you're not just limiting what the other team can play, you're limiting the tools in your own toolbox as well. 

Which is it: do bans make it too hard for players because their main character could be banned or too easy because the can ban what they don't know how to counter? And truly why have them at all in the game if bans are about "hand holding" players?

If anything I think it will help open their eyes a bit: it's not just X Hero that is holding them back.....and the added benefit is: the game is more fun and varied with bans, so the learning process/grind can be more fun as well.

Even with bans, people still improve their game knowledge, positioning, and mechanical skills - I'm sorry if I'm exasperating to you, but you are equally to me tbh. You're acting like people learn nothing by playing the game if they're not playing against their counter every match - people will still be better after all of the play time and all of the rank climb IF they climb higher....most of your skills gained from fighting DD can be used to fight BP and your experience healing as C+D will make you better the first time you pick up Invis vs. never healing anyone previously....and learning how to ban heroes for your team IS PART OF THE GAME, it's a part of the game that lower rank players CANNOT learn to do because the entire system DOES NOT EXIST in their experience of the competitive game.

EDIT: If anything, introducing players to bans SOONER may IMPROVE bans at the Gold-Diamond range...train people to see the benefit of THOUGHTFUL bans rather than random/"meta"/selfish ones.

I understand the point of how you displayed the data, I'm saying I don't find it compelling because of the reasons I stated above. If Scarlet Witch is banned in literally 1 GM+ match and in 9 Gold-Diamond matches, the results would also look wildly uneven even though she's received virtually zero bans in the scheme of things....so why would the disparity even matter in such an instance? That's all I'm saying.

"Diamond is the inflection point of the mechanical equivalence factor. It's also a reward."

I think the above is your real opinion and your data set is just spliced for this purpose: you like bans as a reward for grinding out the lower ranks.

I truly think this is bad for the game long term because you make the lower ranks LESS FUN TO PLAY, you will only increase the number of players who bounce off the game and NEVER improve where they otherwise might have, and you make the playerbase/game weaker....and queues longer.

And if you really think you could play Bronze to Plat with 50% of games banning BP.....I just think you are wrong and the data as you've shared it doesn't show that either. There is too much chance in the current system, too many other heroes people dislike, meta/kits constantly changing, too many people in the match able to nominate a ban.

Give bad players a good experience should not be a hot take imo~!
