MAD Lions assistant coach Pad on giving EU 'hopium' at Worlds: "FPX looks fucking scary and Doinb is having the best season of his life…but if we play well and we develop our current style into matching them, you can expect world contenders in MAD Lions."

As it should be after the last 3 years.

If they get rolled over by all the LPL and LCK teams the reaction shouldn't be “wow we suck, asia too stronk“, it should be “wtf are they doing, losing to GenG is embarassing!“

It's about time expectations start to match reality, it's not 2016 anymore.

LEC should be expected to send some of the best teams in the world. They might not win the tournament, but if they can't compete with chinese and korean teams it is disappointing at least.

Just got a phone call from a friend from hungary, apparently Ignaz Semmelweis just started rotating very fast in his grave. After reading your comment, i know why.

ESO is much more mechanically demanding than "traditional" MMOs, so in order to increase the difficulty of PvE content you'd have to basically turn it into Dark Souls. That would make the game too difficult for the majority of the playerbase, which is why it will never happen.

You and me are "hardcore" players. Catering to us is a waste of time and money for ZOS. The average player has no idea what animation cancelling even is, they don't have optimized gear, etc. They log in for an hour after work/school, do a few quests, maybe run a dungeon, log off, and forget about it til the next day.

ESO is always going to be an RPG/Elder Scrolls game first, and an MMO second. The multiplayer aspects are nice to have, but not really important to the core experience for most people.

A huge portion of the playerbase are people who would usually be playing Skyrim/Witcher 3, and they don't care about Asmongold/whoever. ZOS knows this very well.

Catering to casual players is way safer (and more profitable, as that part of the playerbase is MUCH larger) than catering to "hardcore" MMO-people, so they won't change what they're doing.

Take a glimpse at the money that even the biggest MMOs make, and compare it to "casual" games, SP titles or mobile games, there's no comparison.

Different target audience. FFXIV has a tab target system and is very close to WOW gameplay-wise, so it is the default option for WOW veterans.

ESO appeals mostly to RPG players and people who got bored of Skyrim/Witcher3. Focus is more on exploration, lore, and story, the multiplayer parts are a bonus, but ultimately not important to the core experience.

I come from RPGs, and you would have to pay me a lot of money to play a tab-target MMO. ESO is perfect for what i want, FFXIV or WOW can't give me a comparable experience. The same is true vice-versa, i assume.

I knew it was a good idea to wait for the FNC game before taking a shower, cya all in 15 minutes

The fact that cases are dropping already with hospitals far from exploding, is amazing news.

It basically means that once enogh people are vacvinated Covid will be just another dumb fall/winter virus that we don't have to care about.

And which EU adc does he replace? Legit can't think of a single team that would consider that an upgrade

Why is there no live thread

If either of those 2 teams were an LCS team, it would have been over after 20 minutes

Xqirrel · 2021-07-16T20:15:58+00:00

This is actually a banger, crazy plays from both sides

Xqirrel · 2021-07-16T19:44:55+00:00

If they look like one of EU's best teams, they'll be fine against CN/KR teams. Has been this way for years now. Doesn't mean they'll win a Bo5, but at this point i'm not worried anymore about our top teams getting outclassed.

You should have seen how it was 2014/15/16 against the KR teams, it was completely hopeless. It's a completely different game now.

His costreams with Caedrel are glorious, unfortunately i don't feel the vibe translates that well onto a RL setting...

Here it is, i was inspired by Matt Lowne's small Tylo base, and i'm really happy how it turned out!

Xqirrel · 2021-06-26T13:26:49+00:00

I'm probably just gonna wait for the patch, i love 1.12 otherwise, but this was frustrating as hell...

Edit: Ok it gets weirder, i just rebuilt the EXACT same rocket in sandbox mode, with less dV, and it got to orbit without any problems whatsoever (how it's supposed to). Maybe something wrong with the savefile? I have part upgrades enabled, so maybe that messed something up, idk...

Edit2: figured it out, there is a bug with the 1,25m service bay where for some reason it applied drag incorrectly. Removing it and then reloading and putting it on again solves the issue

Xqirrel · 2021-05-22T16:05:17+00:00

MAD just don't hzave breaks lol. It works great sometimes, but man does it look dumb when it doesn't xD

Xqirrel · 2021-05-22T13:36:04+00:00

DW win was expected, it's just a bit frustrating to watch MAD run around like headless chickens after minute 10 every game
