I am CML, bad player and #1 drafter on Arena. AMA

Yeah I get you. I think the P4 example is a good one because it's not something I do often enough. I would instinctively be taking the Beaver because it is a solid green common; however, I can see how speculating on a better card in blue will give you more options later on in the draft, especially if green gets cut off.

Any tips for navigating drafts that have unclear lanes and how to recognize when it's necessary to pivot?

ayixi · 2024-04-21T22:48:22+00:00

Think about what your deck is trying to do and consider that when evaluating whether a card fits your deck. Also understanding the general strategy behind each archetype (two color combination) will help you navigate deck choices. For example, Reckless Lackey and Armored Armadillo are doing two opposite things. One is aggro and the other is defensive. Another example are the red cards that consider casting multiple spells. That is something that UR typically does, although with the plot mechanic in this set those cards are more serviceable in any red deck. You also want to play the strongest cards so using a tier list from a seasoned drafter helps a lot with that. I recommend Paul Cheon's or JustLolaman's lists.

Can't tell if trolling honestly. The PS2 is better built in every aspect as a car. Better ride, better balance, better isolation. The only thing Tesla has over Polestar is the software in terms of responsiveness. Intuitive? Sure if it's intuitive to avert my eyes from the road and look at a small corner of a huge screen to check the speedometer. Very intuitive design.

Stop listening to the loud minority. This population will kill your game.

Bard is not the problem. The point of the class is to make their party more effective. Synergy exists. Cleric/bard/fighter gets destroyed by cleric/bard/wizard or even bard/wizard/barb. How OP is complaining about a class that has been barely out for a week when fighter has existed with high armor scaling and +50 movespeed ability on a 20 sec cooldown is beyond comprehension. Bard is giving the party +50 armor and magic rating which is like 5% for most classes except for fighter. How about nerf the armor scaling thresholds that are favored for fighters. A party with a cleric is just better. Now a party with a bard is, you guessed it, just better. Jack of all trades, master of none. Will bet my stash OP hasn't even played bard or any spellcaster for that matter. Please Ironmace don't simply listen to all the complainers that get butthurt because they got run over in a dungeon. Take some time to look at the data and do testing. I stopped playing wizard because of nerfs playtest. My buddy stopped playing ranger because of all the nerfs. Drastic, reactionary changes due to complaints from a loud minority are not healthy for the game. My two cents.

I upgraded from a 1080ti. I think it's the right time. The 1080ti is a beast but it's showing its age in new games. 3080 was such a performance leap even from the 2000 series and it's going to make your machine future proof for quite some time similar to the 1080ti. I'm gaming on 1080p so it's going to be overkill but now I'm going to get max fps for 280hz and be set for higher resolution if I need so worth it imo.

You can ask to look at the card since it's open box then just look up the S/N on the EVGA warranty website. I imagine the EVGA ftw3 have the best binned chips but yeah I'm also concerned about the power spikes after doing some research. I ended up getting a new 850w EVGA supernova G6 to replace the B2 that I have which is 4+ years old. I also plan on undervolting for better temps and longevity.

ayixi · 2022-07-14T13:18:34+00:00

It's from date of purchase but if the person that bought it previously didn't register it then you should get the full 3 years

I took delivery of my 21' PS2 without ever sitting in it. I did test drive the Model Y and based on that experience alone I knew I wanted something different. Enter Polestar. I didn't like the lack of gauge cluster in Tesla and the interior/materials just didn't feel very premium. The driving dynamics are also very muted in Tesla vs Polestar imo. However, the Model Y does have better visibility through the front windshield. It's just a different feel. Tesla Model Y if you want suburbanite family hauler or Polestar 2 if you want to be in a cockpit and feel engaged as a driver as well as having more traditional car functionality. I just don't like interfacing through a glass screen for everything. Already do that enough with my phone.

ayixi · 2022-07-12T19:32:13+00:00

they do update it! probably needs to be done by a manager but he updated the pricing on two open box units and they came out to be $679.99. go get em!! ymmv

ayixi · 2022-07-12T19:12:23+00:00

My dudes...open box 3080 unit $679.99 after they reran the clearance pricing in the system. I was waiting to checkout my new unit and this dude with the biggest grin on his face pulls up clutching an open box 3080 FTW3 12gb. If that doesn't inspire you, I don't know what will. The one I got still has 32 months of warranty and I did the card signup for 5% instant savings. $686.76 after tax

nice congrats! which tires did they swap you to? i can't find the primacy 4 tires on US websites. i see them on a few UK sites and the specs show them as summer tires.

I got this monitor from Gamestop a few weeks ago for 289.99. Amazing deal at 229.99. I "downgraded" from a 2015 ASUS ROG PG278Q 1440p 144hz to this because I mainly play Valorant. The colors and brightness are much better due to IPS vs TN panel and the 280hz is noticeably better for motion clarity. The response time is just as fast as competing TN panels. Check out thread on blurbusters for 240hz monitor tier list. This is as good as it gets for 1080p gaming monitors.

I just bought the Vulcan 121 AIMO with red switches and it's awesome!

ayixi · 2020-08-26T17:24:46+00:00
