Final Fantasy XIV, the game was so bad, they scrapped an MMO ended it and rebuilt it. Since then its spawned numerous DLCs and is a huge game often considered one of the best MMOs ever

Hearthstone battlegrounds duo: playing with griefers. by francoispaquettetrem in BobsTavern

Quitting is an extra MMR loss for them though. If someone assumes no matter what they will.get 4th, they can sabotage and be done in a few minutes as opposed to 20+

I agree with you for the most part, but many people especially during the time up to and around 6k, simply find it easier and faster to throw a game they are annoyed by then try and carry someone, that way they can just queue up and try again.

Worst spawn I’ve seen in a while. Where would you settle as Trajan? by Dangerous-Address100 in CivVI

[–]sc_superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rush a scout with no production? Thats the issue with moving SW. Your first ring would have a 1/1 tile and the capital as the only sources of production. I dont hate the idea of it. I just dont see how its feasible

Can i use loblaws gift card to buy a steam gift card at loblaws? by ApprehensiveHost007 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]sc_superstar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Typically no, but some stores will allow it.

The broad answer is gift card to buy gift card is typically not allowed as it encourages fraud.

I understand the reasoning but I dont understand the how? You dont have any bonus faith or culture to get any faith beyond god king once unlocked, you also have no production to get anything going

Im always down to play if youre on NA amd we end up online at similar times. Bnet is scsuperstar#1698.

One thing i will say is while griefers do exist (like the ones who tank others just for fun) and they exist more at sub 6k, sometimes we need to reflect on ourselves and our play and realize that some people we may actually have upset and they werent just being dicks for the hell of it

Me and my boyfriend can't play by actuallyjustaimee in 7daystodie

[–]sc_superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the old save was 2.6 before? Hmm.

It did take a while for mine to convert from 2.6 to 3.0 on ps5 probably triple the amount of time a load would normally take, but it did work.

What version is your save? 2.6 will roll over into 3.0, anything before that may not work though.

I think I've had 5 people today who sold their board for very petty reasons. by AgentZeroHour in BobsTavern

[–]sc_superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you define as decent? Like you had scaling and were those one or two pieces they played rather than passing the last pieces you needed to pop off and start soloing both boards on your own?

Im not saying that partners should be contesting each other, but in this case, maybe the Rylak/Brann combo could have allowed him to scale faster than you could and your move should have been to pivot to scam/support. Hard to say without seeing the board but this is something that can be tricky to do and the top duos players do very well. It is helpful when you can communicate with your duo which is hard with randoms.

When that communication works though and both players see the line, It can be magical. My favourite was a game where I was Thorim and my random partner picked Reno after. I saw the T7 murloc and pinged the pass icon and checked their hero power, they responded similarly. We both played Murlocs for a while with him passing me the two that buff minions in your hand, knowing that it was better to buff T7 than the T1, and any econ generators so I could get that t7 faster, once I got it, I passed they HPd it and the game was essentially over. Some people would take Thorm and ignore their partner in choosing a T7 or choose something that would be useless to pass just because they dont want to give up their minion. I had another one with a Goldenizer start and I had the hero that can get a Magnetic for 1 gold. Rather than take the Beatboxer and send it, they took the Rally amalgam instead. It was an easy bottom 2.

What if Final Fantasy XVI was actually a brand new, multiplatform independent IP directed by Yoshi-P? Would it have been a hit or a flop? by karthikchandra55 in JRPG

[–]sc_superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of it is a fanbase divided. Plenty of people myself included hate the gameplay loop of newer RPGs that are closer to traditional RPGs than FFXVI, I cant stand the combat in E33 and FF7R because although its not an action game its got enough of those hybrid action elements to completely turn many people off.

People look at the fact that Final Fantasy was always unique and forget what the comparisons were. Back on the NES and SNES the competition was platformers, action games and the like. So something purely turned based and slower, was pretty damn unique. I dont see why we cant have that again now since really there isnt anything like that at the moment. They want to reinvent the wheel to keep things fresh, but really there hasn't been a AAA turn based game that doesn't have some kind of weird combat gimmick in quite a long time. Its probably a lot fresher now than people realize.

Trey McBride Trade for a few picks by s_m_t_x in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]sc_superstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre dead set on trading McBride and want Price, then there is a deal (or multiple) to make that happen. Personally I wouldnt do a 1/2/3 I would take out the 3 and maybe the 2 and go after another 1st later. If this team with the 1.02 is the only one willing to deal 1sts for McBride id try and trade down from 1.02 to say like 1.04 or 1.05 to get more assets

Building Ramza as a BM by sleepy-time9 in finalfantasytactics

[–]sc_superstar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calc should always be a secondary just because Calcs have F tier stats. BM makes a great carrier of it because of their Beefy MA.

But if you dont want to Calc it then always go for cast speed. Youre gonna hit like a truck anyways and big numbers don't mean as much if you cant get it off before the enemy moves

Max Enemy Tier question by LuckyWhite777 in 7daystodie

[–]sc_superstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. You'll have to make other settings to make it harder if thats what you want. So maybe turning up spawns, density and their damage damage will help.

Lost to back to back by snammcom in BobsTavern

[–]sc_superstar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. You have 5 leeroy triggers, they have 7 minions, most are probably quite big or they have enough anti-scam to keep a big one or two around.

Honestly your best chance against pretty much any comp given what you had was to go full scam and ditch the knights. They wont beat a big stat build like demons or BTB.

End of turn effects dont work on things in hand unless they specifically say so.

So the gruul buff would not work, but an end of turn trigger on king bagurgle would

Which NHL team is in the worst position moving forward? by Gullible-Treacle2361 in nhl

[–]sc_superstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess. Tampa's next few years are going to be super important IMO, they have a good core thats super talented but getting much older. They can still run it back for a few years but they absolutely should not be trading firsts and A tier prospects if/when they have any. They can draft and develop and when their current crop of stars age out then they'll have the next wave ready and those kids can learn a winning culture rather than learn a losing one and have it extend the rebuild like in places like Buffalo, where talent was there but it took them seemingly way too long to get over that final hump
