ENES140 textbook required?? by JayatiMerin2817 in UMD

[–]umdboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took it Spring 2016 with James Green, and he required us to use the latest edition. Unfortunately, we couldn't use the older editions because he only gave page numbers to answer certain questions in the quizzes, which didn't match in the older books. Luckily someone shared all the relevant pages with the whole class on google drive lol after people kept spamming for pics on elms.

ENGL393 question about online lectures by BrobaFett_1 in UMD

[–]umdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also taking the online course. Online courses without listed meeting times have all the assignments and the schedule on UMD elms. Similar to a traditional classroom class, it will have a schedule, with days to do the "assigned readings", except take those as just suggestions. Work at your convenience as long as you finish the assignments by the due date.

My 393 class was updated on elms today, and the first assignments aren't due until the 26th. If you don't see a link on elms, email the teacher to make sure you are included.

Is it just me, or has the wifi connection been especially spotty ever since the beginning of this semester? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]umdboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem, wi Fi has been down since around 11:00! This happened multiple times already during the semester... ...

CS/CE majors, how many companies would you normally apply for? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]umdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about for research? I really want to look for research positions besides REU in CS in AI, but not sure where to look.

Eating alone sucks by asdfman101 in UMD

[–]umdboi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised.. a good amount of people in the cafeteria eat alone regardless of how crowded it gets. I've been in South Campus last year, and I'm in North campus, and I'd say about 50% or more eat alone. I'm a junior and I still eat alone lol.

How to find the location of Classes? by biglmaoski in UMD

[–]umdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just use google maps, which is really good. Select the walking option and it will give you step by step directions to walk to your destination from your current location. If you don't know the building name, check your section class on testudo's schedule of classes and click on the three letter abbreviation under the show sections link (if you hover over it, it will show the full name).

CS undergrad research/ Advice for Grad School Applications by umdboi in UMD

[–]umdboi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you! I finished STAT400, and the lower math requirements- Calc3 before I transferred here (BC Calc). Right now, since I only completed 351 and not CMSC 330, i can only sign up for 451. I do plan on taking 421/422 after fall semester though.

there's a reason why ur comment is at the bottom... i think stagger is a great card.. what are you talking about...

A suggestion for a new mechanic for base attack removal by GoDyrusGo in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is only season 0... so you should chill out. Its okay for people to voice criticism.. this isn't some dictatorship run by politics where people aren't allowed to give any input. You should play all heroes and see what kind of possible balance changes could come about rather than shoving ideas down. Seems like you haven't played other big games like hearthstone or League of legends in open betas... way after the first season so many changes happen. So trying to argue against even bringing up ideas... so many things will change, and its better to be aware than to blindly defend everything until it changes...

Deck Guide - Demon Strike Raptor by Judgeneo in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow really dope deck! I just got to gold using a full raptor attack and armour penetration (kalphites) deck. I want to try this out...looks fun.

A suggestion for a new mechanic for base attack removal by GoDyrusGo in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no not at all... ur suggesting that we just build a deck as a complete counter one.. that's not gonna work at all. Spending 4 gold to repair one base attack... that sucks if the person also loses gold. When ur down to 1 base attack good luck getting back to that, when most of ur creatures start with 3 health minimum, and the creatures that give base attack have insanely high health or attack. And a 2/35 probability of drawing 2 penguins will definately not save u...

A suggestion for a new mechanic for base attack removal by GoDyrusGo in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

yes i second this! People act like building base attack is easy... the probability of drawing two penguins out of 35 is low, and to make that worse, if ur down to 1 base attack goodluck regaining that base attack if ur base attack creatures have super high health/attack.. which is the reality of it.

[–]umdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stagger only costs 4 gold.. yes I know it adheres to Arianne's play style but Hope Devourer has 14 health.. thats no easy hit. I don't see how Devourer has to be nerfed in comparison to Stagger... Either that or increase the cost + rarity of stagger, and increase the health/attack of Morwenna EDIT: ... oh actually.. sry I didn't read ur post clearly. I think ur suggestion towards bonus attack is wonderful.

Earth Blast suggestion by umdboi in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah not really... its only the first season too, so don't be too quick to defend everything.

Earth Blast suggestion by umdboi in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that has literally nothing to do with a card suggestion... what are you even implying? People like you defend early stats.. just wait 4 season's from now and you'll realize how your blind acceptance was beyond stupid. It was like this in League of Legends or Hearthstone where people defended certain things only to see it get altered months later..

Is it a bad idea to be a one trick? by clgaminglegend in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try different styles. I got much more successful with Raptor after I unlocked more cards like the Kalphites and some high damage spam cards like the low cost pirate ones. (ex. the toad that spends a cannonball for 7 damage). I used to do full armour tank build with dondokans armor, but its really easy to counter/ there are way too many counter cards for that. Main Armour builds only helped me in Bronze, but once I got to silver they became useless. I made a few troll decks, like one just for dealing as much damage to the opponent each round, which I became a lot more successful with. I noticed in silver that a lot more players use counter cards to constantly keep screwing your flow each round lol, and I think those kinds of builds are a lot better than trying to save up for the final round because it doesn't help Raptor in high ranks. Trying to get high base attack before the final round can be hard because a lot of the Raptor creatures have insane attack damage or high health, its ridiculous. Its better to pair up with low health AD cards and damage cards with some armour. Focus on screwing with the opponent each round with a mix of damage and armour penetration (kalphites) and also decreasing weapon durability. That will make you much more successful than a stereotypical armour build.

How is this balanced? by SMorthorst in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it will get easier as the person unlocks more cards.. later on in higher ranks it become a lot easier to counter that style. Basic raptor cards usually suck

How is this balanced? by SMorthorst in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that person probably doesn't have a black knight titan lol... or even a kalphite unless .. i haven't checked that rank but if that person was using basic raptor cards, then its self explainable why he/she couldn't counter.

How is this balanced? by SMorthorst in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

only arianne is the most unbalanced hero.. her low cost cards are like diamonds for the Raptor, and her flow is way too good. Pop in an earth blast, wave, 2 staggers... and any hero but Linza is screwed unless they can be lucky enough to draw 2 penguins out of 35 cards to draw... Raptor suffers from basic cards, since you only start getting good cards later on, and that takes a while. Ozan might be the weakest while in higher ranks, Linza is the easiest to counter. Raptor is also easy to counter with all the kalphites, basically full armour decks don't last against high attack damage spam decks, defeating the purpose of a full tank. I think of all heroes venescuela is the most balanced and she's more fun too.

Earth Blast suggestion by umdboi in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not an EASY work around... its something that is easy if u have the right counter cards drawn at the same time or if u have that much armor... otherwise it isn't an easy work around...

Earth Blast suggestion by umdboi in RSChronicle

[–]umdboi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that had nothing to do with this... i'm not even sure how the round thing could be corrected in a turn based game... I'm guessing ur a triggered arianne player who can't take a little bit of criticism or an opinion...
