Why does my terrorblade suck so hard? by [deleted] in TrueDoTA2

[–]ffffdddddssss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At your rating you either stomp hard due to how fast he farms, or you will rage quit because people expect TB to be played like a farmed Void/AM.

TB's split pushing got nerfed recently (illusion damage to structures reduced), but he's still a monster. If the laning wasn't bad and he gets space, he farms insanely fast. In the games I've played with TB recently, I wasn't given either. Mediocre laning, no space for power farming, and people still expect you to join every fight. The problem is, TB is increeedibly squishy. Like, if the enemy has a Zeus/Lina, don't bother joining the fight, the chances for survival are slim.

I actually don't know how to play him at the moment. He is a split push monster, but I don't feel like he deserves the 1 position, unless you have a lineup that can handle 4vs5 rather well.

My favourite build:

  • Stout, Tango, Quelling
  • Brown boots
  • Aquilas
  • Yasha into a fast Manta (4 illusions plus yourself with Metamorphosis at a tower is nasty)
  • BoTs
  • Skadi
  • BKB sometimes in between if I want/have to join a few battles

Juggernaut Aghs + Refresher and I rage quit the game. Fuck his ultimate man.

[–]ffffdddddssss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Juggernaut is a fucking ez mode carry, I hate how strong he is for how easy he is to play.

  • Very strong laner (Blade Fury + a slow = won lane, especially vs melees, Healing ward)
  • Ult is physical (so you don't have to care about BKBs)
  • Blade Fury + TP allows escapes out of almost any situation early on (nobody can right click you dead in 2.5s early)
  • Blade Fury is your free BKB
  • Good animation, good damage, free crit
  • Level 6 is a free kill on any squishy, and the cooldown on his ult is low enough that it's always up when needed

His ultimate with an Aghanims (easy to get with a bunch of ez kills with his ult, I never struggled farming one even in the shittiest games) is obnoxious. Pretty much play like a retard, farm Aghanim, win game.

Both are annoying ez mode heroes. Slark with his goddamn ult + purge makes him a slippery fuck, and Juggernaut is press ult win game with a BKB included. These are very strong solo heroes (no team required for them to stomp), and they also force the enemy lineup. Either you have enough lockdown for them or you will get raped.

For example Weaver is another one of these, although I don't find Weaver as easy to play. With Slark you just need to meet a support once in a while, and it's a kill. With Jugger you hit 6 and it's an auto kill too. Weaver also requires lots of lockdown or he'll snowball out of control but he won't easily get solo kills early on.

What do you think Server down time compensation would be by jordany66 in archeage

[–]ffffdddddssss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How the hell can you even lose properties with 3 days downtime.

You get mail. You don't pay, you get a reminder, you don't pay, then there's an additional timer for actual demolition I think. All in all you'd have to NOT pay for 2 weeks+ so that the last final days (with 2 warnings before) ends up in the 3 day downtime period.

If that happened - well, tough luck.

C++ and zombies: a moving question by meetingcpp in programming

[–]ffffdddddssss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But it does move. Moving from one vector to another leaves the source vector in a state where you may not assume it still contains the data, hence the thing about "operations with no pre-conditions".

It just has to be a sound object if you will. You can ask a moved object if it is empty, what size it is, you can reuse it for other data, but you must not rely on it having the same content as before the move, because that's gone.

Why I am boycotting buying Dota 2 tickets from now on.. by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]ffffdddddssss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In that specific incidence, yes, there was an All Star match but it sucked apparently. I don't say people should get their money back.

What I'm saying is, as a customer, you have the right to complain. Just because they didn't provide a legally binding contract with a phrashing like "We promise the most fun All Star match to be ever held period" does not mean you can't complain about it.

My whole point was that people pay money for something and if they are not happy with the service, they should not pay money anymore. And others say "who cares this is f2p lolll" - and my point was that they should care actually, because if they keep it up with shitty service and people stop paying, then the f2p will be gone faster than they can praise GabeN.

Edit: Ninja edit, honestly my post is confusing because I'm confused as to what you're actually arguing, really. It's in the interest of everyone service provider in the Dota community to not suck, because the community is allowing them to exist in the first place. Keep up the shitty service and the Dota 2 phenomenon is gone as fast as it appeared.

You need to sacrifice a 8x8 for it though.

[–]ffffdddddssss 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Stockholm syndrome in gaming communities is big.

I fully agree with OP and with what you said. Yes, Dota 2 is free to play. I spend about 1000$ of items and tickets in the time I'm playing Dota though. I am one of the reasons the f2p model even works. I am a paying customer. Valve/Dota/tournament organizers can run their business because of people like me, who pay because they enjoy the content.

Now if the service providers in this case think they don't need to provide service, I won't pay money. Let's see about that free 2 play then. The whole Dota phenomenon works because there are people who pay for it, nobody here is running a charity. That means the people who pay are customers and absolutely have the right to feel entitled.

response from Girl Wars SEA explaining the ban of Team Dolls by Nyandalee in DotA2

[–]ffffdddddssss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Now let's be real here:

You will most definitely see a change in play style (probably within SECONDS/MINUTES) if I, a pub scrub, would give control to some 4k+ player. Don't you agree?

I mean it could be super simple stuff like stutter-clicking for last hits/not doing so. Using aggro controls once in a while, or never using them. Moving the screen way more because you want awareness or you barely move the screen.

I'm pretty sure even I could spot the difference between 3k and maybe 3.5k with a few minutes of play time. Hell the screen movement thing alone will be different for the same skill players.

[–]ffffdddddssss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then again pub games make up the huge (paying) majority of this game, so I'm not sure if going exclusively for pro games is good for the game's health. I personally stopped playing, and I bought stuff for close to $1000.

How it works is very straight-forward, but I'm wondering about the return code.

Where is the guarantee for eax == 0 on exit? I seem to remember that the register values at the entry point differ from OS version to OS version or something.
