AFK in CS: everyone's screaming and throwing the match

AFK in Warframe: impromptu dance party around the afk player

To be fair, for a build you're committing some time into, you can get those extra points with another polarization or two and then pick the aura you actually want.

With umbral builds, every extra point matters and you can't solve it with forma. You're only getting 2 extra points, but that's 4 extra drain on a reactored frame, and the only other 9 point aura is Power Donation.

What do you mean, splicing the battlefield in half from gunfire, making the only good aura in the game nonfunctional due to bugs, and causing major issues with arbitration drones due to the fact that they ignore warframe powers and thus ignore the rift ISN'T your idea of a good time? Wowie zowie. :P

UPDATE: Riot said they won't revert it.

Background: skins in League come in bundles called "capsules" that cost around $5 each. They're probably filled with trash, so people buy lots and lots of them to get the ones they want. A few hours ago, Riot accidentally made them cost 1 Blue Essence, which is a common currency, most people have thousands of them. It's basically for free. For a window of a few minutes, highly sought after skins could be bought for very low prices. Let's see how the subreddit reacts:

I've spent over $2000 in league since I started in season 5 rip I guess. Feels bad man

900 over 5 years myself. I'm have a thing about collecting cosmetics for characters I like as a sort of completionist and this really does just make me super sour and not want to spend any more.

That would be the first time I'd feel proud for spending 3k on that damn game...

Man what the fuck. I’ve spent thousands of dollars (big regret btw), and now some jackass is just making off with all this free loot. I agree op, revert this.

If they dont revert this, the community will just hate em. I wont be buying rp anymore , if they dont fix this.

Spent 750+ euros, not spending anymore. GG Riot

As someone who spent "only" 500€, i assume it's safe to say these people actually made more skins due to this bug then i did out of those 500€.

before starting to accuse anyone who disagrees with you of being a filthy bug exploiter who "stole" skins from you

Exploiters aren't even trying to hide it lmaoo

Edit: Thanks to everybody responding to my comment and disagreeing. How many skins did you manage to get tho?

then launching into a discussion of economics and collective morality

ITT: People that don't understand microeconomics and why it's morally bad for society and the economy to let people keep things they should have but didn't pay for.

and my personal favorite: lamenting that their "investment" is worthless now

Are you a paying customer? Did you just spend $100 on capsules to hopefully get some nice loot and support Riot™, a company who made your beloved game? Well fuck you.

What you should have done is come online 1 hour earlier and just get all the shit from capsules for free, + another ~$900 worth of stuff, depending on how fast you could click.

Oh what's that? You weren't as lucky? Well, hey, according to some people in this thread, you should feel happy for those who paid nothing and got 10x more shit than you did, because that is totally fine and shame on you for feeling jealous of them. Just take the L, guy or girl, just be happy, and better luck "investing money" next time.

*Update: Riot has announced that they will not be reverting any of these 1BE capsules or the cosmetics that came from them.

In the new thread, one League player said it best with

tldr 1 BE capsules won't be reverted/recalled, people who buy RP getting dabbed on

I thought you could just buy Riot currency and then buy skins. Did they change that at some point?

New ones are lootbox-only

And they don't even.....not have it? Isn't the whole point you buy them just to change your characters appearance, I don't think you can even trade them in LoL so they have literally no value beyond that

Yup, there's no way to transfer skins in League other than by selling your account, which is a bannable offense

What I don’t understand is why do they have to put their heads into the cases on their chests? The vent kids don’t do it and they can still go outside so why do they do this?

Could be an order from the Corpus? Nef wants to keep them faceless, break down their individuality, and make it illegal for them to show their faces. Then when they trust you as somebody who's not going to rat them out, they let you see their true faces.

Fixed lingering FX on the Corinth Alt-Fire.

This is nice. Now you can actually see what's happening, instead of firing once and hoping that they're not about to charge at you through the 100% opacity smoke.

I legit can't use the flash/paralysis loadout because I'll be doing a combo on a knocked out monster, then this fucker puts a flashfly directly under my weapon, moving the monster out of the way of my combo.

Quick question for hammer Bros from a hunter evolving from using just longsword and greatswords

What is the more optimal attack style for hammer? Should I be charging my hammer to do the infinite spin? Or should I just use big bang?

see more
1 point · 2 days ago · edited 2 days ago

Big bang should basically only be reserved for when the monster is immobilized (and only for a long time, not on flashes). The last 3 hits are where the real damage is, so if you only land a few, it's way less DPS than faster combos. As others have said, you always charge your hammer. Re-charging your hammer is a good idea to help time your openings with the move you want to use (rolling also helps time attacks, but has a long delay before charging starts up again). I tend to go for a Charge 3 on a small window, Charge 1 (aka golf swing) combo on a larger window, and spam uppercut whenever you can. Ignore spin.

You know what the highest DPS move is on hammer? The airborne tumbling flipping slam move. Fight near ramped/sloped areas whenever you can help it.

lightly fried sweet potato waffle actually sounds delicious

People seem to think theres some sort of imaginary stigma against defensive builds.

There isn't. In MHW and I think all other MH games, the mantra was always "your DPS is 0 if you cart."

Or if you're a corner Horner or an aerial only IG.

Or something of the sort.

see more
3 points · 3 days ago

On the other hand, higher DPS means that your team has to dodge fewer attacks, and has fewer chances to cart. You're more likely to wipe if the run takes 20 minutes than if it takes 12 minutes. It's all a balancing act.

https://blog.oup.com/2016/05/by-hook-or-by-crook/

The English idiom surfaced in texts at the end of the fourteenth century... Medieval conveyancers (that is, lawyers who specialized in the legal aspects of buying and selling property) had to give grant of dead wood for fuel, over a tract of woodland, which might be available without interfering with the more substantial use and profits of the timber for the general purposes of the landowner. The use of axes, bills, or saws was not allowed, while hooked poles, or crooks, by which dry or dead bits of wood could be detached and pulled down from the upper branches of the tree were fine.

In the Middle Ages, the phrase was a legal formula (such mnemonic devices as rhyme and alliteration are common in the oldest laws of all Germanic-speaking nations, for, in the past, laws had to be reproduced from memory). Later it acquired a “mundane” sense, namely “by all available means,” and this is the reason we are no longer aware of its origin.

We think of the phrase as a desperate resorting to unethical actions, but it was probably a description of the permissible ways of clearing wood in a particular legal arrangement. There are other suggested origins, like towns and persons being close together and named similar to "hook" and "crook", but those seem to be regarded as unlikely by experts.

Honestly if you like being unkillable, just buy Adaptation. It's an expensive mod, but it makes almost every frame difficult to kill.

Also, since I haven't seen him on this thread: Atlas. Hard to kill, satisfying punching, great use of umbral mods (makes use of health, armor, and ability strength). Has some of the highest base armor in the game, and the rubble rework takes it even further.

There is no simple yes or no answer, there never is in politics. There are valid arguments from both sides and the only way you will get an answer to your question is if you look at both sides yourself and form your own opinion.
