The new ladder season by Blizzard started today.
All stats and levels were reset.
Melee/Ladder players are now racing for the title of ranked 1 ladder player in [---] realm.

(I know it started around now because I checked my stats when I came home and now its all gone)

P.S could some1 pm me if im breaking rules by posting news when im not declared a news poster?

There's a funny exploit going around where people purposely lose 10 games so that they can play nothing but total newbs.

When you start off with a new account, bnet determines your ELL to be level 25. When you lose games initially, the ELL drops by a ton. When that happens, it is VERY difficult to bring it back up, so you can rack up wins with all positive xp gain (you can't go below 0 from the losses) and it will take a long time for your ELL to go back to its correct value. This means you can pull off a record of something like 100-25, which looks pretty good considering the game actively tries to assassinate you when you get on a win streak in an effort to make you a 50% player of whatever level you play at.

Also funny are the people complaining that they have to play vs people who are better than them for awhile because of the new ladder. Oh no, you pulled a pro. So much for wanting a challenge/game you can learn from.

oh, never knew...
but I play for fun (and icon :D)

I h8 pros who make new accounts and sabotage RT players..

I had one last weekend and I thought he was a newb..
he started only building farms covering all his base... I asked him to stop but he kept saying "NO!! The wolves will get me"

at the end he told me he was a pro and because I built burrows around my base and not near the mines, he fucked me up..

O well.. that was good experience, now I know where to build em..

The ladder reset only means your level goes back down to 1. All wins, loses, and draws are still in your profile, and you also get to keep your icon as well.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
