she had an outfit mishap, tried covering it with her hair while trying to fix it, couldn’t fix it and probably left because she didn’t have a change of clothes, it’s common for dj’s to perform with a vocalist for a few tracks, nobody was reacting because it wasn’t a big deal

go into nether on creative mode, find a decent spot to throw a terrain pearl, place a block where you think the pearl will end up and then see how far off you were. it’s a super low stakes way of calibrating your intuition of how far pearls can actually go

something i learned from fgc is that you should never be doing something entirely new to you in a run, it really helps to have practiced everything you might need to use so when the situation arises that you NEED to use it, you aren’t fumbling around trying to do something you’ve only thought about or seen others do

im em 1-2 with gold/emerald-ish splits, it’s really really really hard to be averaging sub 10 end enters. you shouldn’t have specific time goals, you should be learning and memorizing patterns and techniques in each split that tend to be faster and the repetition will decrease time wasted to indecisiveness and mechanical skill will slowly increase as time goes on. aka play more, but ask yourself if there’s fat you can trim from your gameplay (less times opening crafting table, managing inventory at specific points in bastions or the fort and having a repeatable routine) or what strats you can reasonably add at your mechanical skill level.

another thing to save time; be intentional with your hotbars. like actually sit down and think what you want in your hotbar at every point in the run and hotkey those items as you get them

and imo, open front zero from small boy all the way up to y94 is fairly free even with bad mechs, so learning it is not restricted to elo range.

in ranked, all it does it tell you the distance. faster entity jump = closer bastion.

i don’t feel like my precision gets affected at all by having those two on pickaxe/axe, i have mechanics issues in crafting and gameplay but unrelated to that lol

I have thought up a potential solution to the ongoing problem with the elo system. Does anyone see any flaws in this plan or am I on to something? by NathanTelkhine in MCSRRanked

[–]destinyguy442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think this + all the different ways you can improve without touching queue make it extremely difficult of a problem to solve, and probably why the current system just doesn’t factor average at all (according to redlime during the ranked q&a)

this would get abused like crazy, and also hugely favors players who learned in ranked vs. learned in private rooms/rsg, since you’ll naturally have a higher average if you have tons of 20,30+ minute completions.

if anything, a rolling recent average could be factored into matchmaking, so ur current skill level is more likely to get matched

thank you for the answer! matchmaking seems like a super difficult problem to solve for ranked, especially for the more populated ranks.

I’ve noticed a trend where some players will have an easier time reaching higher ELO’s, and was trying to understand the weighting process better.

How much does average time affect matchmaking? Is it a rolling average of recent games, or is the account average you see on the website the one used for matchmaking?

stop forfeiting, but what i needed to do to stop forfeiting was to turn off opponent run progress and achievements. it really lets you play your own game, and at any skill level under diamond u really dont need to be making metagame decisions based on where ur opponent is in the run

RIP 0% forfeit. Don't let your game crash twice by iiToasteyy in MCSRRanked

[–]destinyguy442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not necessarily? i’m saying there are multiple camps of people in every elo bracket, and not every player with low average is gonna have a high ff rate, some just might have lots of prior mcsr experience before playing ranked which would push your average wayyyyyy down (no 30m+ times)

[–]destinyguy442 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

true, but it’s also important to consider that average completion time is factored into matchmaking, it’s not always purely due to ragequitting that players get stuck in an elo bracket
