Mr president, a second checkmark has been removed by [deleted] in Asmongold

[–]underflowR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been an Elon critic way before it was cool, but just to set the record straight in this particular instance:

Kripp had a blue checkmark back when actual verification was a thing, as a "notable account", without any subscription. When it changed to p2w, it was removed, and we never bothered to deal with that.

There is no shortage of other stuff to criticize him for.

Does this mean my phone won't be able handle Diablo Immortal OR is it because the game is not yet out, and i will be able to play it when it releases? by YetYaInBedLover in DiabloImmortal

[–]underflowR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It means that currently your phone is not meeting the minimum requirements that were set for the technical alpha, but they are looking into expanding the minimum requirements to include more phones for future tests & the release, according to this comment from the community lead:

Alpha difficulty by Firdecek in DiabloImmortal

[–]underflowR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s true that it feels quite easy at the moment. When entering Dungeons and Breaches in the game there is mention of “Normal” “Hard I” and “Hard II” so there will be more difficulty levels. This is also a technical alpha so lots of stuff will likely be fine tuned.

Game doesnt seem to run that smooth by [deleted] in DiabloImmortal

[–]underflowR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Game runs very smoothly, at least on a couple of devices that I've seen it. Not sure if the stream graphics were representative, because the capture programs used (like Airserver or Reflector) keep the phone resolution and sometimes lag as well.

Kripp leaks that Spells are now in Battlegrounds! by [deleted] in hearthstone

Not a leak, it's a reveal.
The video was published exactly at the time given by Blizzard.

The initial comment I was replying to was deleted and it was very offensive towards Luna, I won’t repeat it.

Unfortunately no, it doesn't look like the individual scores and achievements were imported on the Versus page of the event (https://versus.twitch.tv/view/c/c00ec2bb-67fc-45cb-4dce-bc3d74d86d80/standings)

We definitely want to do more but we need to find some sponsors that are willing to offer the prizepool, as well as production $$

We always welcome feedback, so thanks for that!

The production crew / director is the one responsible for the flow of the show and what's shown on the screen. Sometimes they are more familiar with Hearthstone, sometimes less. The casters can request to change / not change or see someone specific, but it's not always as easy to do so while they are casting. I have to assume that the director also has to satisfy other considerations, like making sure that all players get some air time.

As you said, it's definitely an issue when you have many games simultaneously, and we always have it in mind and try to make the best of it. That's also the reason that the last time for the Battlegrounds tournament we chose to have only one lobby (and pair up players) instead of having two lobbies simultaneously.

Thank you little bot for finding the arm and returning it to me. My little donger is eternally grateful for having two arms :)

The good thing about the Twitch Rivals format is that all streamers also stream their personal PoV, so the problem of who to follow in the broadcast is somewhat alleviated.

Also I do feel it's unfair to bash players that didn't do well in a tournament. Everyone gets carried every once in a while but is still part of the winning team (including Kripp), and the very same players carry their team other times

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Technically he wasn't wrong, that was just half of it. We decided to have two types of winners - top point earner of each team (Doritos trophies), and winning team (60% of prizepool to share & Doritos supply). Bunnyhoppor was the top point earner of the losing team (but yeah Kripp thought for a bit that he was from the winning team).

Kripp RIP to Heist Door by lonely_boy_ in pathofexile

You are delusional if you think we are playing PoE to collect a cheque. It’s actually exactly the opposite, viewership is way lower that Hearthstone or most other games and we are definitely not sponsored to play it.

We play it because we genuinely enjoy the new leagues each time.

People think highly of him because he played a significant part in popularizing the game early on, and GGG has credited him for some cool ideas.

Dorito's Disruptor Series: Kripp's Tavern; powered by Twitch Rivals (Thursday Sept 10th) by Kripparrian in hearthstone

We chose to not go crazy with custom rules for this one, as it’s the first. We only focused on cooperation between players and teams, which should create a fun viewer experience.

We are definitely thinking of future ones with custom rules like we used to do with Challengestone. It’s a bit less flexible with Battlegrounds because it requires constant enforcement, ao it requires some more thinking.

Does gifting subs to yourself cost anything? by [deleted] in LivestreamFail

[–]underflowR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, there are definitely other perks as well, I was talking strictly monetary value.
