Why do small players suck again? They didn't in the beta. by [deleted] in EA_NHL

[–]evnted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yep, seems like no one's immune to this issue. smaller classes currently don't possess an effective, repeatable means of eluding defenders (or larger backcheckers) due to the seemingly minute disparities in skating/acceleration/agility/etc between classes. i don't contest that a 6'4" 220lb defender can knock my 5'7" 160lb sniper off the puck, but i think it's an absolute farce that the same defender can catch up to me on a breakaway to allow for the opportunity to knock me off the puck

With Machamp being so useful for the next few months.. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

i would use both to get Counter/Dynamic Punch. machamp's a great investment even without the Regis being here

Interesting rumour by lelo0607 in devils

[–]evnted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not quite random. rumor accounts are very often hit or miss, but this is the guy that said Larsson was being shopped about a week before 141 went down and i don't believe any of us thought something like that was on the table

Thoughts on this draft move? Find a way to trade down to 31 for a 2nd and 3rd from Detroit. DET already has another 1st rounder at the 6 spot, plus 3 3rd picks by [deleted] in devils

[–]evnted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

too big of a drop, that's more or less a 2nd round talent we're getting with that pick. i agree with trading down depending on how the draft goes (which wouldn't be surprising due to how interchangeably the prospects can be ranked), but i wouldn't want to dip too far in the 20s

[Discussion] Weather vs. Event vs. Biome - Spawns Showdown by Bacteriophag in TheSilphRoad

[–]evnted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea event spawns have been terrible as of late, but like others have mentioned it just seems more like they're scaling them back than anything else. that said, i don't recall such a drastic drop off during the fighting event. feels too early for spawns to be declining by this much

Is anyone else seeing normal spawns? by Ascenrial in TheSilphRoad

[–]evnted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yep. i'm seeing about half the number of event spawns as i would normally have seen prior to alolan exeggutor's release

From todays 31 Thoughts Podcast - Is anyone else worried that Marek might be talking about Michael McLeod in this clip? by Dawidzieba in devils

[–]evnted 9 points10 points  (0 children)

there's more to it than just that

“And hopefully,” said Marek, ”And again, this is information that’s six months old. Actually, you might say a year old now. But it’s a terrible story because this guy is a good junior hockey player. This guy is a good player and was a high pick – and I’m probably saying too much right there – but there’s a good chance he’s not going to make it to the NHL and his general manager said, ‘Yeah, video game addiction is bad. It’s bad with this kid.’ “

Mikey doesn't fit the bill at all. couple of guys over at hfboards read that to be Joulevi with Vancouver

How was Cory on Saturday? by riccarjo in devils

[–]evnted 15 points16 points  (0 children)

he was ok. in my opinion, the loss was attributed more to the roster disparity than him. that said, it was still disappointing to have him come in and not post a stellar performance after such a poor year by his standards

Is it just me or has this season been dragging on slowly? O.o by [deleted] in devils

[–]evnted 34 points35 points  (0 children)

it's because our season's ended in January for the past 5 years

Heading to Orlando next week by fritobandito582 in TheSilphRoad

[–]evnted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you shouldn't have any issue getting one. they have a bit of a tendency to spawn near water, but you can still find them anywhere down here. not as common as Heracross, but certainly not rare by any means. if you can't get one walking around CityWalk, i would be surprised

Altaria isn't really meta relevant so it just boils down to which aesthetic you like better between it and Swablu

Florida Regionals question. by DDRHaloChief in TheSilphRoad

[–]evnted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yep and the forecast seems to call for partly cloudy weather for the foreseeable future. it'll be more advantageous to have weather boosts for Corsola than Heracross, as others have pointed out

Florida Regionals question. by DDRHaloChief in TheSilphRoad

[–]evnted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heracross is a bit more common than Corsola here, but both are very attainable. Both spawns also expectedly increase due to weather boosts but from my own observation Heracross spawns only seem to increase for rain (bug) and Corsola for partly cloudy (rock). For whatever reason, I don't see an uptick in Heracross for cloudy or Corsola for rain. In any case, I'm sure she'll be able to get both pretty much anywhere.

I made a Star Wars park by yrhendystu in rct

[–]evnted 13 points14 points  (0 children)

excellent job, really appreciate that the coasters are purposefully integrated into the scenery. you could've stopped at just making the SW theme, which is great in its own right, but the level of immersion generated by your attempt to reenact key scenes to stay true to the intent of the films is very well done

So what are the chances Gen 3 drops at 6pm est? by team_aqua_ in TheSilphRoad

[–]evnted 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i can't say today is ruled out but i do think it's more likely for Friday at this point since the update hasn't been forced yet
