So weird seeing Derplander in these in-game cutscenes. Especially the ones with Ardbert, his twin :v:

I have a 50% winrate too. I was winning probably about 80% for a while on the new frontlines but now people understand the meta better so it's more like 50% again. I wish they would revert Frontlines to when it was more about maintaining your battlehigh rather than someone choosing to kill you with their ult but i doubt that's going to happen. The Summoner spam is sort of dumb fun too. I wish they would colour code the Bahamuts at least so i could know if it's save to go near the 7 of them round the point.

But then everyone would complain about being on the Flames with original flavour Bahamut instead of 'Winged Dragon of Ra' or Bahamut Anger Mode.

I meant just your bahamuts are blue and enemies are red like they do in MOBAs and BRs. They already have red models from SoS that they could reuse.

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
Was playing CC awhile last night and thought about the poster a few pages back wondering what to do about a losing streak.

Although it's important to be aware of your own contribution and always be polishing your own gameplay sometimes it really is just rng and you can't control the other four players. It got to the point where if I saw a specific insanely bad player on a team(saw him five times, friend and foe) I knew that team was guaranteed to lose. The same idiot paladin suiciding into the enemy as fast as possible, trying to hold the crystal 1v5 and never once using his LB or any utilities, just hardcore dedicated/botting his way through as the blue dps too stupid to at least be a jackass as War/Drk/Gnb.

Just gotta keep at it. Or take a break and hope your next play session lines up with better odds.

Does MSQDR count as a level 50 dungeon for Catbook purposes? I think it does, but it's been a while since I've had it come up.

I solo queue Frontlines and play on controller (so trying to personally direct the horde is kinda futile, unless I drop the controller and die so I can type). So my win rate kinda sucks.

It doesn't actually matter, but it is a bit frustrating to see people with less than a year of play who have field marshal coats and I have, uh, 7 Seal Rock wins total after eight years.

I believe that as of 6.1 it has a 2/3 chance of counting, as there are two dungeons and one trial it can be and the trial doesn't count.

I wish Sage had, like, one more DPS button to press, but it's otherwise easily my favorite job in the game. Everything flows together beautifully, all the animations are stellar, and it has large enough potencies to get the big number dopamine hit I'm otherwise missing from not playing WHM.

Did someone win all those houses in the lottery? If not i don't see how it is relevant. Even if houses were limited to 1 per account those houses would still be occupied and you'd have nothing to bid on.

Uh even if I personally do not win any of those houses if they were to suddenly open up, one single person shouldn't be owning almost an entire district by themselves.

Napkin mathing that those ~20 houses would go among say ~800 bidders, this process would give the average buyer ~2.5% of a house. It's most likely that whale wards like that would be in FC wards where the demand is already satisfied, so on most servers it would do effectively nothing. I really struggle to believe it's the best use of developer time in a system where the resources being allocated are such that it took them months and 8 blog posts to fix an off by one bug.

Much like in real life, the only actual solution is a massive increase in housing supply. Much like in real life, the world will probably end before that happens

Ehh I could definitely see them just adding another block of wards to the housing districts, they're already adding new server infrastructure for every DC - which, by itself, will add a shitload of new houses to the game, whether or not new wards are added

imo openly flaunting the spirit of the housing lottery like this should result in the mods making an example of you. If you're gonna make 30 shell FCs for the purpose of hoovering up an entire ward, at least put a minimal amount of effort into deniability.

Naw they're right. Like all these houses are owned from forever ago in ye olden times before the popularity exploded. They were bought before the 1 house per person rule. They didn't do anything wrong at the time. You can argue well times changed, too bad and I would agree, but then they have to come up with a system for reclamation. They have to design a way for the person in the example to pick the house they want to keep before demolishing the rest. Or even just a system of, "we're going to demolish random houses until you own only one on date X, so if you want to make sure you keep a specific one, you better demolish the others yourself." It also gets weird when you have to factor in alts and people with multiple accounts and yada yada who cares just add more wards 5head your game has millions of subs you can afford the servers (uhh when they become available).

Turning demolitions back on is something they can do that would actually make a difference to the available housing. It sucks for the people in eastern Ukraine but it doesn't look like that poo poo is ending any time soon.
