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.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
