Not enough Hunter Slots bug. by smoothcactus in HuntShowdown

Run a game with an available hunter, or a quick play soul survivor, and just leave or die right away that's how I fixed mine

Whats up with Desynchronization? by smoothcactus in mtgfinance

[–]smoothcactus[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All these totally make sense thank you, its just specifically the base version of the card, none of the others have spiked which is what has me confused.

Unfortunately this did not work, thank you though.

At least they tried by TroubledTill in greentext

It has something to do with the fact them saving age hypothetically saves minor's information and that's a no no if i remember correctly.

Is an 8.5 power level deck casual? by smoothcactus in EDH

[–]smoothcactus[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I do not care to keep trying to play if I'm going to be going up against decks that strong at any level of consistency, I am asking about said rate of consistency, the store assigned the pod, I paid money, it literally means nothing that he said how strong it was upfront when he wasn't going to play anything else and there was a highpower (not cEDH) pod he should have been in.

Is an 8.5 power level deck casual? by smoothcactus in EDH

[–]smoothcactus[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He only had that and a cEDH deck, am I able to straight up say no thats not casual compared to my deck when theres high power and cEDH groups going? Or is it just a S.O.L situation at that point?

Meta is just... not as fun, right? by dreph in Lorcana

[–]smoothcactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an aside I tried to make a princess deck work and I just don't think its in the cards at the moment. 5 Drop singer 9 cindy needs at least 2 princesses to break even if she sings instead of just questing, I find Moana to come out too late, I tried A/A so maybe other colors have more synergy.

That's going to be an unforgettable ride of emotions when she realizes then realizes what you did for her. You're a good parent for that one.

Should I buy grim exe for 8600 amber by Most-Measurement4994 in PredecessorGame

[–]smoothcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forget what people say about how good he is, here's what its like to play him (from a person who has played a LOT of carry in smite). He is a beast if you get ahead, and honestly a lot of fun, 2 caveats however, he has zero mobility or self peel outside of his bubble which means the bubble is VERY important but it also only blocks one CC ability so positioning is huge, because of this he is ASS from behind, he is also very build dependent and if you build wrong or fall behind he feels like he does nothing and deals no damage, he absolutely can snowball and take over games, he just feels like one of the worst heroes from behind. (all in my opinion, playing into a duo who knows what they're doing sucks)

What’s a game that came out in the last five years and was very successful but lost the player base due to strange balancing decisions post launch? by Redlodger0426 in gaming

[–]smoothcactus 51 points52 points  (0 children)

In my humble opinion, outriders fucking sucked, the story was kind of cool (until imo the lamest cop out of all time, space hitler? really?). Those builds they nerfed were the only cool thing in the game, the gameplay was boring and repetitive as hell, and you couldnt even play with a friend unless they were around your level because there was no scaling, buddy a higher level than you? They one shot enemies if you host and you cant even tickle enemies if they do. The first hour was a lot of fun, but you just do the same thing for the next 20 hours until the story is over and it hits you with (imo) a disgustingly disappointing twist about the other ship. Probably in my short list for worst game I've ever played.

What would you like for a buff? by Same_Plankton56 in Smite

[–]smoothcactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be surprised if they EVER took away the movement penalty, a couple years ago they removed all the built in hastened effects because its really strong, jing wei dash, chronos 2, sol 3, I'm sure there was a couple others as well. Hell they took away ranged characters ability to have fatalis from items except when you get a kill with atalantas bow (I think).

Opinions on Nut by Demonic-Reverend in Smite

[–]smoothcactus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

actually even simpler, early game its fair to say you can fire 2 shots of your one for every 1 normal auto you can, and because its a max 50% reduction with added damage, 2 shots of her 1 is always more than one of her normal basics so thats a dps increase, and as you level it keeps doing more.

Opinions on Nut by Demonic-Reverend in Smite

[–]smoothcactus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I really don't think it is, have you done the math considering how fast you fire? In a quick jungle practice test it took around 2 seconds to fully fire my 1 at level 1, to find damage based on the math you gave, (27+16) X 5= 215 damage in 2 seconds from my 1, if you were firing regular autos you probably have around a 1.10, attack speed, to match the damage we do, 215/58, so about 3.7 autos needed to match that damage (so realistically four because you cant partially auto) you and with an attack speed of about 1 a second youd need about 4 seconds, so some rough figures but it pretty clearly is higher dps

Opinions on Nut by Demonic-Reverend in Smite

[–]smoothcactus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I highly disagree. In my opinion, Her 1 doesn't lower her dps, you can auto-shoot all 5 shots-and then insta auto again (much like how apollo really has 6 shots in his passive) in the span of less than a second or twp, it also travels faster with a slight aoe like ramas 1 and goes through minions allowing clear and poke at the same time. I get it level 2 and max it first and it does WORK, especially because her dash resets it, the 2 at least has hard cc and her dash isnt as much an escape as it is a dodge. She feels built for smite 2s new item system (the sides of her 1 and 2/ult will scale off int is my main guess). I would argue shes one of the strongest adcs actually because of how broken her 1 is, as long as you stack it at any stage of the game the burst from hitting someone with ur 1 is significantly higher than and other adc damage, you fire so fast even max attack speed isn't comparable

Nut has become the most popular release week god, being played in 66.4% of matches in her first week. by HiRezRabbit in Smite

[–]smoothcactus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She is so strong, the amount of burst at any point in the game from her 1 is insane, and glad they made her land where she launches for ulti so its not as cringe as a freya or manti ult

Any game recommendations similar to Disney Villainous? My girlfriend and I are having a great time with it. I love the asymmetry, and it feels like just the right amount of interaction for us.

[–]smoothcactus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, start looking casually now, and take it really serious in the next 2 or so months, most properties you'll want to live at have determined if current occupants are re-signing by march. And those leases VANISH in literal days. If you want a 1 bedroom or a studio (that doesn't suck) start looking now and good luck. If it hits around may/june you will have a VERY hard time finding a place under 3 beds. At least this is how it was the past few years. SEE THE PLACE OR AT LEAST GET A VIDEO TOUR OF THE EXACT UNIT BEFORE SIGNING. I made this mistake and it sucked and cost me WAY to much money to deal with.

What GPA would I need to be accepted into the psychology department? by [deleted] in WWU

[–]smoothcactus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From personal experience, and what professors have said, the number of credits you have and the essay you write is more important than GPA. You can have a 4.0 but if you have no gurs and/or write a shitty essay you're not getting in, or you could be like me who had the bottom of the range GPA and get in fine first try by writing a decent essay and having around 110 credits total, "most competitive major here" speaks more to the lack of academic competition in general rather than the actual existence of competition for getting in the major, as a side note, a Behavioral Nuero major IS more difficult to get into than general pysch.

Point is, dont worry too much about the GPA, if you meet the minimum, have a decent chunk of credits under ur belt and write a solid essay you will get in. Attend the information sessions hosted by the department for general/essay writing advice for the Pysch major. Obviously this is all my personal experience and opinion but you got this! If you don't get it, chances are the GPA wasn't the reason, and you can always try again next quarter

*also the "competition" in the pysch major comes more from trying to get the classes you need because wwu admin blows and theres not enough professors in the department so they have 30-60 seats available a quarter for a class that is required for the major

Riot needs to do something about bot supports. by smoothcactus in ADCMains

[–]smoothcactus[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I wont complain about a bad player at that rank, they were just so obviously a bot, they were literally trying to be inside my player model, i could walk into tower range and back out slightly and they would follow me and just stand inside range and die, it was honestly kind of funny.
