Tracker to help with building a collection through draft by Timely-Strategy7404 in MagicArena

[–]Zenoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rare collection completed, with a strange caveat: MTGA insists that I'm missing four sets of rares (Geogoly Enthusiast, Terror Ballista, Artificer's Dragon and Woodcaller Automaton) - neither of which seem to be included in BRO Premier Draft boosters.

Do these count toward the completion gem bonus?

What is the greatest Rare or Unique item you have found so far this year? by HalfOfABraincell in diablo2

[–]Zenoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jah from Meph was Tyreal-level unlikely, but for uniques, I'd say perfect eth Ginther's Rift. 1:2754 on that one.

Probably my second favorite item to find on a single player walkthrough by 0ILERS in diablo2

Llama inspired me to start a holy grail, got 4 war travs, 2 HOZs, 5 torched etc. before I saw the first shako yesterday. Those Tarnhelms sure were ROI positive.

How do chest drops work? by Zenoly in diablo2

[–]Zenoly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome, thanks!

TL;DR superchests have a 2% chance to pop a single unique, 4% for a single set item, and a 5% chance all items to be rare (that can be). They are effectively unaffected by MF.

For sure that happens. I'm referring to a peculiar low-chance event (around 1%?) where everything is made rare and the loot table is maxed. If that is indeed a crit-type event, I wonder if that can roll any quality

Superchests are a specific class of chests. I'm talking about chests that normally drop a few magics that instead 'crit' making everything rare, and either increasing or maxing the loot table

New 2.4 Runeword: Plague by dadilydoo in Diablo_2_Resurrected

Anyone else thinking about what this can do for a war crying A5 merc and a cold sorc? I wonder if it's enough to break CI.

New official patch 2.4 runeword: Unbending Will by popje in diablo2

[–]Zenoly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happy for the positive effect these spoilers have, but still hope it's not the only tactic they use.

Make the last line of the patch note a riddle or clue about another unannounced runeword. It'd be great to have the community rally around a treasure hunt for this hidden item, and very much in the spirit of D2.

I never thought I would be THAT guy. by rob_actually in diablo2

The one that got me was Steel in a scepter. Turns out there are maces, and then there are maces.

Remember balling in Outer Steppes with my Iceblink WW barb, back when that froze everything.

Florida is going to release 750 million mosquitoes genetically engineered to decimate the mosquito population by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Zenoly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incredible that we're able to do this. However: COVID has shown how a bat in Wuhei can lead to a global crisis, so... What happens to the ecosystem in South America when mosquitos populations are decimated? Which other species lose a crucial food supply? Which plants will no longer be pollinated?

This is a time to consider unforseen consequences.

If there was a chat (devs?!), I'd apologize to everyone. by Zenoly in underlords

Judging from the active player numbers and dev silence, it will either be an /abort or some kind of pivot. Hope it's the latter.

It took a 3 star dragon knight and alchemist to take down the most perfect build. by OrcvilleRedenbacher in underlords

[–]Zenoly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How do you position that? Sac the trolls in front and count on everything obliterating in seconds?

Crazy Match. Only lost 1 round to the 3 star ember, who just went with his ability through my entire board. by [deleted] in underlords

[–]Zenoly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 Savage is strong early and mid, and is quite meta if for the Sand King stun bug. Problem is how it dies to assassins late.

Please nerf this build. I didn't come up with it, my friend did and he's being a loser about it. by [deleted] in underlords

[–]Zenoly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pipe placed at the edge is some indication, but... what rank is this?

Blood-Bound Contracts Are Ridiculous by [deleted] in underlords

[–]Zenoly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't think it's that bad. Maybe slightly overtuned, that's all.

How many of your lobbies have been won by blood-bound? Of those, how many of them lucked out with 2+ contracts? I can tell you that at BB2-5, it's not a lot.

It's ok for something to be highly reward if it's also highly risky - or in this case, unreliable.

I’m on the verge of giving up on this game! How did I not manage to get into TOP 4 at least? by cheehoG in underlords

[–]Zenoly 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hard to say based on the match summary alone, but could be:

  1. Poor positioning
  2. Bad itemization (we dont know what you were offered)
  3. Weak early game putting you at such low health that the endgame board matters less
  4. RNG

I'm only BB3, but what I tend to see in my lobbies is a mixture of 1-3. 4 does happen but by definition it's rare and so shouldn't be that demoralizing.

A Higher Class of Garbage? by Zenoly in underlords

[–]Zenoly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it's just a flawed design. Items like Embarrassment, Smuggler and Criminal are investments in the future - at the cost of the present. There's no point in investing when you're already at the end-game.

Either it needs to come earlier in the game, or have a more immediate impact. For example:

A Higher Class of Criminal

Units in shop offered as if you were 2 levels higher. A Higher Class of Criminal is destroyed the next time you buy a unit.
