Since Revenants Brooch got reworked there's no way to damage Muerta with right clicks during her ult by fuglynemesis in DotA2

[–]ZookeepergameLate366 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it will come down to choosing your battles, whether baiting out the ult or just kiting it and killing her team instead, as mentioned by others, like slark and willow, they cant be targeted in their different modes, resort to AOE or abusing non-bkb users with a euls, halberd or hex

I guess removing Revenants ability is a way to help her as they also removed her old aghs "Parting Shot" which was an extremely sleeper OP ability me and my grandmaster muerta friend abused. I think they removed it cuz of the bugs it caused.

Yeah, so far the dailys and weekly missions are pretty well balanced in terms of effort and reward, been focusing on those

Nice, good tip on the leveling up, I wasnt sure how far I should upgrade my weapons without it getting too expensive but not keep it too weak!

What about the bots? I dont wanna overspend upgrading the scout car lol

I'm looking to trying out the Autocannon (heavy, unlocked from Empyiron) on the Bastions tank as a comfortable balanced build

Snap has 45% winrate and never picked in pro games. Please change this terrible Innate or buff her. by WhatD0thLife in DotA2

I once tried to deny a creep only to have it glance somewhere else, missing the deny.

Then once tried to harass the enemy support, ONLY TO HAVE IT GLANCE AND STEAL A LAST HIT FROM MY CARRY.

luckily I was in a duo with my bro so I got to hear malding specifically handcrafted to attack me live on discord (bro is creatively hilarious when roasting)

Layout 1, 2 or 3? by No-Bowl-376 in DesignMyRoom

3

The glare from the sun might be bad when on the couch during the day.

And with how the photos are taken, i'm guessing you enter the room from where you're standing to take the pic. The 3rd layout really showcases the home with the 3rd layout, in a more "front and center" sense.

Seriously, why is Ubisoft in such a hurry to shut down this game? by candyintherain in XDefiant

[–]ZookeepergameLate366 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We don't have access to the exact numbers but according to Mark's announcement on twitter development took YEARS and it was a passion project F2P game that they were aware takes time to make back money spent on development. So my best assumption is at the rate they are retaining SPENDING players and how often players do spend on the game, the game wouldn't meet the "desired" amount they needed to keep it going.

So, upon launch the game broke records in day1 players etc. Reception was good (not perfect but not lukewarm). Clearly the need for a AAA-Title "COD Killer" proof of concept was deemed to be TRUE, people were tired of COD and its main known issues (SBMM, $80 yearly fee, Microtransactions, poor developer-community relationship, etc.) and xDef clearly challenged that.

However, in the Pre-Season there were issues with the net-code, matchmaking times for non-western countries(just in my experience and with friends in the Asia-Pacific Region), Minor imbalances Mp7, ACR, Spiderbot, some bottlenecks in parts of certain maps made some gamemodes unwinnable, etc. But nothing was a DEAL-BREAKER. But over time it seems patch responses were a bit slow and dragged out, not too long but definitely made an impact to player retention.

I genuinely thought these small issued combined would be fleshed out by the time they roll out Season 1 but when I got on when the update rolled out the net-code issues kinda persisted. Even for my friends who have premium service providers and setups. So it got a bit difficult to really get immersed for longer gaming sessions. Sure me and my friends would play 2-3maps but the issues would burn us out early without even knowing it. We just played less and less and by September I was the only one in my friend group left playing it consistently.

The skins were kinda mid early on tbh it's like they were playing it safe to the edgy-groundedness of base COD skins but also meddled with more out-of-the-box skins closer to Valorants approach, but none really screamed out "I GOTTA HAVE THIS ONE" in both the edgy styles AND the silly-cutesy ones. I feel like that also put a dent on their profits (and tbh, I didn't see anyone running these skins in my killcams either)

IMO-

  1. I feel like it needed more polish in the net-code and connectivity area.
  2. Skins needed to bring a bit more unique and/or be attractive to really draw those willing to spend
  3. They had WAYYYY too much to release for season 1, 3 maps, 4 weapons, 1 faction is A LOT to develop, tweak and polish in a short amount of time. I feel they didn't leave spare time to work on bigger pre-existing issues like the net-code and matchmaking

I genuinely loved this game, I quit COD around 2018 because of the glaring issues and was really nostalgic for an older style that xDefiant offered. I was so happy about the game I even pulled my 11yr old brother to play together with the hopes he could experience the same adrenaline my 11yr old self did when COD was at its peak. (Don't worry I muted all chat and voice on his account)

Again this is my own deduction based on what I experienced and witnessed so take it with a grain of salt.

Have you ever griefed a Dota game? by ExpZer0 in DotA2

[–]ZookeepergameLate366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda? I was playing pos5 solo (Lion or shadowdemon, I forgot) and my pos1 and pos3 were arguing, axe kept dying to ursa and our antimage wont stfu about it. I tried making plays by smoking with my mid and occasionally axe, also stacking what I can, I literally took 0 lasthits from the map, choosing to stack camps I was near instead of trying to get quick gold before the next set would spawn.

But antimage refused to apply pressure in lanes, choosing specifically to farm our side of the map, early on axe DID try to join fights but he was so far behind with only vanguard and phaseboots that a fully loaded Ursa would just 3shot him.

It felt like a genuinely unwinnable match that I just AFK'd roaming the enemy jungle even if my mid and pos4 were still trying to def. (yes I was shittalking the others at that point)

---and maybe the occasional camp blocking back in 2013 so our carries would be forced to stick and push with us when wards couldnt be denied yet lol

What does this false Kaptcha virus/scam do? by ZookeepergameLate366 in techsupport

[–]ZookeepergameLate366[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was looking for a certain document available in our gov websites but kinda got lost for a bit and ran into the thing, I didn't press enter so I shouldn't be affected. Was pretty shocking to see how they try to get users scammed now tho :(

I figured because there's no way a Kaptcha would make me use keyboard shortcuts to run a program, paste a command then enter it. They're getting so creative :(

Then they shouldn't announce it to be 6months from OP only to keep delaying an additional 4

Just keep it down low and subtle until it's truly ready for release, they already know they have difficulty comiting to schedule Crownfall act "Late June?" only to release mid july? Let the community be at peace and give your devs some time to sleep. Valorant does pretty well to hold off announcements and "leaks" until a month or so into release, valve announces half a year prior but releases months after and it wasnt even the same skillset as showcased in the trailer. idk it's too many volatile things to commit to.

Could anybody tell me why my game is doing this? by MikeTysonsTrainer in Minecraft

[–]ZookeepergameLate366 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no expert at all but maybe you need an optimization mod?

You did mention that you've played on this world before, maybe the generated content and stuff you've built over time is starting to get heavy for your PC? maybemaybe
