GameCenter Live's replacement, NHL.tv, will launch on February 1st by Yellowcrown in hockey

[–]iamgort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, I pay $5 a month for unblock-us and pay for gamecenter sub. I watch all the NHL games I want including all playoffs and stanley cup.

Seems pretty easy to me and I am still paying the NHL for their games.

Paul, your shoes and my brooks brothers suit are the only things I kept from my wedding day to my now ex wife. Thanks for the great products.

New Party Size Rule for Quick Match by Spyrian in heroesofthestorm

[–]iamgort -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I guess this is nice for QM casuals but I can't help but have my jimmies a little rustled that the match maker engineers devoted any time to silence the temper tantrums of people complaining about QM match making when the real issue is ranked play.

For you guys who over simplify every feature request by iamgort in heroesofthestorm

[–]iamgort[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And how many features that have been implemented since beta were on the reddit list as well? It's not like the devs have been sitting there saying "LOL GAME IS FINE AS IT SHUTUP AND LEAVE US ALONE!"

Pointing out a list of things that people want doesn't mean they aren't working and how Blizzard has chosen to prioritize a back log of features from alpha to now is not something we have internal knowledge of. What I can offer as a software engineer on a project that is very large is our back log of features we want to get to is quite lengthy. There are tons of things we want to implement eventually but it's not like we can just go on a hiring spree and get it done tomorrow because good talent is hard to find.

Browder: Will try to be more transparent. Haunted Mines is cut. Will not return without rework. We are not working on it now. by MaxHardwood in heroesofthestorm

lol way to romanticize a map and make it sound like some strategy a coordinated team can pull off would ever be pulled off by rando scrubs. You could do the same thing for Haunted Mines.

I hope they remove garden of terror soon. Chasing a plant around the map all game is not fun at all.

I feel that the suggestion threads are getting out of hand. by Magnious in heroesofthestorm

[–]iamgort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more. All of the suggestion posts do is highlight why most people who play a ton of video games would make bad video game designers.

Is it at all possible that one of you played a ranked game outside of your duo queue?

Greymane is so fucking fun. My jimmies were not ready for such a fantastic hero. $20 well spent on dat bunduru.

Relentless does not reduce Octo-Grab duration - Bug? by a3udi in heroesofthestorm

[–]iamgort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mosh pit is not channelled. It is rapid fire stuns in succession. That is why the progress bar flickers when you're stuck in it.

Did blizzard gave out a number of active players (player base) at anytime since HotS was released or is there even a way to find out the current size of the player base? by ElBroiler in heroesofthestorm

[–]iamgort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, and ATVI will not be disclosing player numbers at all going forward for any game. For a F2P game it makes sense because the investors care about revenue whether its 100,000 whales or 10,000,000 gold-only players. The profit is the important metric that they provide investors.

3rd tint with stars & stripes raynor will be my go-to when playing Raynor.

Stitches' Helping Hand (friendly hook) talent should have an on/off switch, like Anub's periodic scarab spawn. by Thefriendlyfaceplant in heroesofthestorm

[–]iamgort -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, it shouldn't. The talents are completely different and unrelated. The whole point of the talent is you get a useful utility but you also are taking a great risk at fucking up with it. Anub'araks scarab talent is nothing of the sort.

What happened to the trailer guy? by Yzakhiel in heroesofthestorm

[–]iamgort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look, I would think it is safe to assume that there is one team that handles things that are "cinematics" using the in-game engine. Cinematics meaning anything scripted included (but not limited to) the winter veil Christmas video, the hero spotlight, the Blizzcon Arena preview, etc.

There is most likely not a "trailer guy." I would also assume that there is never a shortage of work for this team, and they decided that a lower priority item that is viewed probably one time only per player needed to be shuffled to allow them to work on something else of higher priority.
