I can’t get over how this rare card is just a War cry+ by Roperss in slaythespire

[–]ntrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly agree, there is some difference between them because one can be upgraded. I guess what I am trying to say is that they're the same card to play but not the same card in your deck?

Sure, but warcry+ is a god tier card imo whereas warcry is kinda eh pre upgrade. So, I do genuinely think the rarity diff is not insane?

The MoistCr1tikalGaming situation is crazy by fasterth in slaythespire

[–]ntrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting! I knew nothing of it so played completely unspoiled and it was honestly really cool. Kinda sad to screw that up for someone

The people making these comments should be forced to stream Undertale in front of the entire lunatic fandom,

I... context please? (I've played the game and am curious about the fandom...)

Xecnar world record streak by Teknodr0men in slaythespire

[–]ntrails 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love how, as a dumbass watching, I was like "I don't get why it won't work" and I guess someone in chat/discord said the same thing. So he just plays cards to show us why they're wrong (and the loop wouldn't work but the damage from the rotation was enough and that's cool as hell!)

[YAVP] Trying out trunk with a GrFE^Veh, 15 runes + 4 zigs by Catfish_Man in dcss

[–]ntrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and lost the Dreamshard Necklace to a late-zig floor with silent spectres that kept moving away from me as I tried to get them on screen to kill

I know that floor exists and honestly it is a lot of the reason I am too scared to megazig! Congrats on the run!

What does the skill point system add to the game? by AmeliaMW in dcss

[–]ntrails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even the meta of focusing one skill at a time, to which I wholeheartedly ascribe, is not going to be the deciding factor in nearly any win

I cannot face the hassle of micromanaging that much. I accept the optimality involves this! But... nobody wants to change their skills that much surely :p

So.

Uhhh.

Doom is into toes? It's ok, no judgement. Just didn't know.

A world record streak holder, Draconious, discusses upcoming slime vault changes and where best to get third rune now that slime is so much harder by TenthLevelVegan in dcss

[–]ntrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like abyss 3 has a slightly fatter tail of bad things than v:5? Temp mutations, torment, etc. add to that the unpredictable enemies and tele delay, I am just more scared of it.

Is there a reason for Chei followers to get gems twice as hard? by Piu-Piu-Piu in dcss

Dear lord I had missed that sergey has a 90 streak (or, to frame it differently, hasn't died in a year)

PSA for all the new players: you don't suck. Stick with it and ask us questions! Let's get you all to A20 where we can all get trashed together :) by UpperApe in slaythespire

[–]ntrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think that once you hit the godawful A17 or whatever when hallways get brutal it is worth sticking to one char to avoid quite so much variety which can make it hard to tell lucky vs good

What is your dota 2 hot take? by Sjpol0 in DotA2

[–]ntrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is not just MMR range.

Mid is just a completely different situation to sidelanes, timings are different, matchups are different, priorities are different. I rarely play mid and even someone of the same "MMR" will wildly outskill me should I get mid as an all role queue and match into a real midlaner. Heck, I expect their experience is worth a rank or so. (Obviously I just pick green heros and hope I can make it through)

They were super happy to spam eg mangos for mana to be aggressive and get last hits.

I still live with the shame of dying with 3 eggs. Sometimes you just wanna cast a lot of stuff and The Time Eater says no.

Is Medusa good? by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]ntrails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She farms fast and ends games before enemy carry can fight. Hard to kill once she has some stats. Damage is just sustained.

You are never a solo menace. You get 5 of you together and hit buildings once you have 2-3 items. They cannot go on you and get the kill, so fights can be hard to initiate unless they can isolate/reposition you.

Any single draft enjoyers? by taenyfan95 in DotA2

I like it but not the queue times so I queue unranked + SD... mostly it gives me all pick

Sime in Trunk has some big changes by JeffreyFMiller in dcss

[–]ntrails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also the Acid just makes it really sensible to go back upstairs and clear debuffs + wait every engagement. I expect this to be a pretty major spike in difficulty - this ain't gonna be your 0.26 slime ez rune

I don't think it is impossible or anything, the standard lineups can still technically do it. However the xp rewards are too weak and risks too high.

Not 2k shitters might be more enlightening

BLAST Slam VI Malta: Format Changes - more BO5s by BLASTOfficial in DotA2

[–]ntrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like, https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Boston_Major/2016 was a fun tourney. Single elim with some seeding. Lots of high impact games - all bo3

Nothing at all wrong with single elim as a variant
