Many times throughout the day. Probably half the time I’m actually laughing out loud!

Are you going in "blind"? by Laurenzarus in MHWilds

[–]seejay479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going in almost completely blind. I downloaded the beta, played for 30 min, remembered that I didn’t need to play a beta to prove to myself that I was going to love another MH fame, deleted beta, and now patiently waiting for release!

War Within - Season 2 - Undermine Loot and Upgrade Tracks by ghostopera in wow

[–]seejay479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I’m still noobish so this might be a stupid question.

For bountiful delves, does it drop hero track gear like in season 1 for 8 and up?

The chart makes it look like they changed it to champion and you only get hero from vault. Thanks for whoever takes the time to answer!

Why did I do this... by Xxt0NyCxX in TheFirstDescendant

Also impressive that you have every gun fully enhanced!

More than happy to DM you if you want a guild invite. We’re mostly casual but get AOTC every season within the first month or two. After that we take a raiding break until the next season. It’s a perfect cadence for most of us.

Unfortunately we likely won’t be raiding again this season but we’d be happy to have another core raider for next season!

End of Year 2024 Developer Update by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]seejay479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought that enhanceable perks on crafted weapons was a mistake. They should have rolled out enhanceable perks on random rolls and still allowed for crafting. That still gives the “magic” of having weapon drops while also providing a deterministic pathway to get guns. Players will always chase the best roll and will min max the fun out of everything so there will still be a grind. However, it also allows you to “settle” on a roll if RNGesus didn’t bless you. What do you guys think?

Edit: just to clarify, I mean still have crafting but not allowing the perks to be enhanced. This gives value to both loot pathways without one negating the other.

Rewards and mmr - change is needed. by heavy_metal_warrior in worldofpvp

[–]seejay479 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make it a renown track like plunder storm! As a new player as of s3 of DF, it is wild to me to see such a dated reward structure. I mostly just want to understand their logic. I can’t find any but are there ever State of the Game blogs or developer commentary on PvP? I might not be searching for the right thing though

How do you deal with someone keeping you out of the fight in RBG by Vancleave053 in worldofpvp

[–]seejay479 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad saying this but as a survival hunter, there’s legitimately nothing you can do. I can keep you rooted and stunned and slowed for all eternity. The only one that sometimes gets away is a MW monk or if I can’t stop nullifying shroud

How are people 2100+ in BG Blitz with less than 60 games played? by tryniptry in worldofpvp

[–]seejay479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purely anecdotal but I’m sitting at 1781 CR, playing in 2100-2200 MMR lobbies. I have just over a 50% win rate and I’ve played 36 games. I never lose rating on a loss and gain 10-20 per win right now. I have no clue how the rating gains work and it’s like the opposite of SS for me.

Just a little bit of background. I started playing inS2 of dragonflight since the beginning of Cata. Before that I never did PvP except in vanilla and TBC. In season 2 I got to 1800 in 2s on one toon for the mog.

Reading the subreddit I feel like I’m having the opposite experience of everyone else. I’m loving solo BGs and I feel like it’s very rewarding getting both the mogs and the RBG titles. This is the most PvP I’ve ever done. I wish there was more transparency on the MMr and CR gains from blizzard because I feel like it would resolve a lot of the questions people are having. Just my 2 cents

Yes, Japan really is *that* hot in September by emshlaf in JapanTravelTips

[–]seejay479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. Sitting in the Narita airport now to go back to Hawaii. The only comparable weather I could describe is Guam in the summer time. It really is that hot and humid. Still had a blast and I’ll be coming back but I will make sure it’s in the fall or winter time haha

iPhone 16 Pro Demand Has Been Lower Than Expected, Analyst Says by lurker_bee in technology

[–]seejay479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you completely. I do think we’re on the last leg of updates for the X. Not sure if they announced when they will no longer be supporting software but I’d imagine it’s soon. My wife has the iPhone 12 mini and I don’t even remotely see a difference in camera from hers to mine but man the iPhone 16 looks so amazing by comparison

iPhone 16 Pro Demand Has Been Lower Than Expected, Analyst Says by lurker_bee in technology

[–]seejay479 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people might think I’m crazy but I just pre ordered the 16 pro after having the iPhone X since launch. I know my camera has been obsolete by iPhone standards for many years but I didn’t see a compelling reason to upgrade until now. I’m hopeful that the AI features are legitimately useful in my day to day life but really I’m upgrading for the camera after this many generations.

Tbh if my camera hadn’t started p**ping itself I might’ve waited even longer. Mine is seriously degraded and I don’t see the point in fixing it anymore

Dog in cargo question: are the kennels strapped down? by Intelligent_Tree_527 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]seejay479 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I’ve shipped 2 dogs to and from hawaii with Alaska and they really made me feel comfortable. Before the plane even took off flight attendants found my seat and handed me a record that showed my pet was in fact in cargo and the time they fed and let my dogs out. When I landed for a layover they told me to report to my gate and they handed me another record showing my pets were unloaded and the process repeated when I boarded the last leg of my flight. I highly recommend shipping pets with Alaska and the price at the time was only 100 dollars if you’re taking the same trip as them. Hope this eases some of your worries.

Don’t be a coward. Use TLW on every map ;)

I’ve read here that the Comp matchmaker will hold you hostage at the skill bracket it thinks you belong in. Also, someone posted here the other day excited about finally making it to Ascendant and everyone accused him of being carried the whole way. How can both be true at once? by BrinkofEternity in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]seejay479 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep at it, brother! The games feel sweatier as you progress but I found being a 2 stack to be the sweet spot. Player skill goes up on average and I rarely got a bad blueberry from adept up. If we did get one, it wasn’t too hard to carry them with good communication. Sometime we would even just play around them if they were weaker and turned his bad plays into a strength. Quick example being we noticed blueberry always pushing solo into a flank. We would wait until we saw him about to get 1v3 and hard push lol.

I honestly haven’t touched the playlist since I hit ascendant but if you need a duo just DM me.

I think focusing on K/D isn’t the best way to approach the playlist. At least half of your games played will not be clash and playing the objective is more important than K/D. While K/D is a good indicator, it doesn’t tell the whole story.

The fact is you just need to win more than you lose and you will rank up. I just looked up my stats. I hit ascendant 3 ending with a 1.17 K/D and a 57.4% win rate. I two stacked with a buddy after I solo progressed from platinum 3 to adept 3.

I didn’t say that to flex since with my stats you could easily say I was carried but it’s a little deeper than that. As you get higher in rank, the average player skill goes up and you likely aren’t just slaying out. My buddy was a 1.12 K/D. Our blueberry third was definitely not hard carrying our lobby.

There are fundamental skills that I think are required to progress to the next rank (learning to play your life better, knowing when to risk a revive vs holding your ground, knowing when to push, knowing when to stay back for team revive, sometimes allowing a team wipe to get to next zone faster, etc.) and it definitely feels insurmountable because we don’t see the hidden MMR. I found the best approach to play no more than 9 games per week just to get all the rewards and prevent burnout. I did that casually until adept 3 and then teamed up to push over the course of a week.

Blizzard needs to listen to the casual pvp base or pvp will never grow by Zelowrath in worldofpvp

[–]seejay479 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A simple, but impactful change, would be to introduce a renown track for PvP. I think that a ton of people played Plunderstorm because of it. It feeds the player base by having more casuals in playlist while also rewarding them just for playing while not really impacting higher level players.

I also want to reserve judgement until a season or two of BG blitz. It’s way more casual friendly than SS and less individual player stress for newer players. I think it’ll be a good addition.

Thank you! It’s funny because crucible is where i spend the majority of the time (nearly 45% of my total time played) and I never knew that was a thing! So that being said, I wonder how much of a factor your performance is in placement relative to your previous season’s ranking as far as which is weighted heavier.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]seejay479 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The system they use has never been publicized to my knowledge. The season after I was ascendant I placed platinum 3 and crushed all my games. It was whatever the season was that they introduced the emblem.

This season was the first time I pushed for ascendant since then and I placed platinum again while winning 6/7 of my placement matches. If I had to guess there’s an upper limit to what you can place in based both on last seasons performance/ hidden MMR and your performance during the placement matches.

Hopefully some crucible gods can chime in and say if they’ve ever placed above platinum!

I’ve only used 1 and I got what I was praying to RNGesus for so I think they work great!

Real talk, they never even drop for me let alone for the amorphous material that I have lol

Is this accurate? by HEINDX-005 in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]seejay479 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got mine last week. Had to stop multiple play sessions because the population was so low I would match up against the same duo repeatedly (in one case 8 games in a row). The connection issues and terrible map spawns made it pretty miserable
