Now that we finally have something better than "very easy", did you try them?
And, if you did on, for example, "hard", did you win? First try?

Ever tried a 2 (you + normal) vs 3 (hard)? How fast did you lose? :p

I tried some Coop vs AI which is basically me and a friend vs 2 random computers. This was our first match since phase 1 so we picked medium/normal and won quite easily. The A.I did not expand until we were pushing into their base in the late game.

We then tried Hard which was harder but still quite easy and then another game at hard where we lost because of pretty bad macro on our part.

I'm saying this first, I suck at melee games for most RTS's. So, I can hardly beat medium comp :/
Sometimes I win, other times I don't. I'm just terrible at microing

Well. 1v1 hard is easy. But I can't beat 1v1 very hard.
We've beaten 2v2 very hard and 2v2 insane. But I guess the later doesn't count.

We made a custom game in Novice Twilight Fortress, went tp vs zz. We abused the fact that zerg ALWAYS go roach ling first. So 2 void rays from toss is enough. For the next wave, add 4 sieges. And mass colossus and thor for the rest of the game.

The AI seems pretty terribad when it comes to helping allies. Lost the first 2v2 because my ally didn't feel the need to help me when I got attacked by both enemies.

You should watch a replay and follow the APM of the comp, goes over 300 in certain situations. :p

Yeah I tend to hold off the first attack wave with 2 Queens and Spine Crawlers while I fast tech to Mutas, once you have a handful of them it's pretty much GG.

I hate how the AI is actually smart, they actually take backways that are blocked off with destructibles

    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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
