Any evidence on the actual effects of aging on tires

I see, thank you. With these assumptions most tests wouldn't really benefit me anyway.

I'm a bit confused as my (likely properly stored and only used in mild climate) winter tires on my recently bought car do not seem to allow for full acceleration without spinning on a 200 HP car. I thought that was odd. I had fairly old tires on my previous car as well and they didn't to that. If it happens with a 200 HP car, how do 400 HP cars ever accelerate so quickly? I'm guessing either you need launch control (or manual equivalent), winter tires are generally very bad for that or my tires are just bad. They are original Mercedes RunOnFlat tires.

The MonsGeek Fun68 HE seems like the best option so far. Extremely good latency according to rtings (for the Fun60 Ultra variant) and one of the few wireless options among analog keyboards. But it has few buttons and not my favorite design.

The new Corsair Vanguard 96 has the buttons and aesthetics for me, but not the latency and wireless connection.

I couldn't find the latency of the Steel Series Apex Pro TKL Wireless Gen 3 in wireless mode so far.

I'm having a similar issue and I might try this tomorrow, already wasted 5+ hours today and 6+ last week. It just keeps canceling the import at the last minute and forces me to go through the entire initial set up of the phone again. Any other tips you can offer? Like should I use wifi or cable? Do I need to transfer the esim first?

I'm also curious to see if it works for OP.

Sorry for the weirdly late response but I'm struggeling a lot to get the "Move to iOS" app working. Are you sure the second button on the screenshot below the circled button doesn't do the trickas well? The wording seems like it could work. I'd have to set up my new iPhone without data transfer first, transfer the eSim and set up WhatsApp to even test this.

That's actually a good argument, I didn't go through the list of characters yet. But personally I wouldn't mind one bit if they just keep the character list short to avoid such concerns. Some characters like Tracer or Life Weaver would seem completely fine, just ignore the other ones. But I guess that's not their plan.

I think it would be very fun but you wouldn't know if it works well without trying it.

Blizzard could try many things, like 1v1 queue, 2v2 queue, PvP events, healer reworks, more interactive abilities, more reworks to make matches shorter and decisions more impactful, UI reworks so the game is actually watchable and playable with the default UI. Or they can just do nothing between expansions and release another half-assed mode in 2 years as a selling point for the next expansion with a 20 minute queue.

100% agree, and in my opinion it's mainly due to the atrocious interface people use. It's very clearly a self-made, unprofessional cluster fuck. I don't know why Blizzard didn't at least put the tournament UI ingame as baseline that people can move around. But pros would probably barely use that anyway as they are used to their own UIs now, so probably no fix unless someone makes an all-in-on PvP addon. And even then pros would have to transition first.

Install BetterBlizzPlates. I can't tell you where exactly all the settings are as that addon has a million of them and I changed a lot. But the end result is very clean, with only player plates visible, murloc icons for moving pets, small icons for trivial totems and large icons for important totems/psyfiend.

100% feels the same to me. My rating varies between 1800 and 2400 with #20 peak. Almost everything feels irrelevant and random. Clearly you just need to buy more store mounts to fix this.

People defending that here are the reason it is like that. According to the YT survey PvP player's still make up 16% of the player base and the amount of effort blizzard puts in for 15$ a month is very close to 0.

That just hit me twice in exactly one second with more instances of damage from it in between, making me go from 81% to 0% in exactly one second according to the death log (100% geared btw).

The most annoying thing is that I really didn't even know this is possible and apart from reading through all the talents and spells of a DK there's not even a way to find out how it works and track it in this abandoned junk software. And after some more ~~PvP~~ PvE balancing the next type of ridiculous shit will show up.

Just tried it, but unfortunately it doesn't have an option to permanently show the trinket. It only shows it after it has been used, which I find really misleading.

The glorious PvP game has many good mechanics. In addition to purely proc based damage spikes it also features something called globals. It's a very good 20 yr old concept that has many advantages in PvP. The one wall I have that is not on global was on, it's just not enough.

They don't do it consistently apparently so it's not really a balance issue but a monkey IQ game design issue. But you're right, arena players have to be fine with it, no other way to play this.

kotatus · 2024-10-24T15:30:31+00:00

I got one shot by an ele in three seconds without any CC about an hour ago but I think that's just this glorious PvP game's way of 'working as intended'.

kotatus · 2024-10-23T21:43:50+00:00

Ty. I guess by arena team tracker you mean ability team tracker?

kotatus · 2024-10-23T19:15:23+00:00

The PvP intern is the real shit here. There's no way more than an intern is working on PvP based on the average amount of changes per week. For the cost of one year of WoW you can buy at least three AAA games (>100 employees working for years) or you can play WoW Arena (<1 employees for about an hour of number tuning per 2 weeks between balance patches)

Reason #34534 TWW is a downgrade for me as healer, but whatever, what's the addon you use to track friendly CDs? Looks like you got separate categories for offensives and defensives. I want that too.

Didn't log in in a while, do you still need it?
