Nice thing about arena is the ability to leave mid run if you want to do something else. Which is super awesome.

Yeah hearthstone spectating is so freakin odd to me. Everyone does it differently and each time you gotta adjust. Did they put in an actual spectator mode yet? They should look into it if not, just so the scene which is actually starting to get interesting thanks to naxx cards.

I have a few random adamant torchics with speed boost. If anyone wants um let me know or else I'm wonder trading them this evening.


Yo Parn, I can help you to evolve those shits in case you still need someone to trade with.

As per the TLLOLOTGD Fantasy League Bet.

First Place Eppa! Gets to choose any song he wishes and the loser (Soniv) must sing it or face a 2 week ban. These were the terms agreed.

I have half the classrs done right now, will probably finish 2-3 more tonight. After I get these done I'll beat the hard ai and then just do some free play/ranked I guess.

What is the gold reward for hard bots btw?

If you're at all serious about being efficient with your gold I don't recommend arena until you know every card and ranked up to a past 15 or so. I'm not saying you can't be successful but it's just a gold sink if you're only getting 2 or 3 wins while you can be playing and earning gold in ranked/unranked.

Also, the heroics for the Plague Quarter is much more what I expected difficulty wise. No longer steamrolling every one which is a combination of frustration and the joy of the challenge.

HiRez is finally going to be implementing dynamic queue times for match making (the static queues often resulted in some REALLY wonky matches). This should be a great thing. One of the comments:

"I can see how this would be good for ranked, the queue times there can be really long. But I don't think that smaller population queues should dictate changes like this."

I never really understood the whole static queue times in the first place. It was really weird when friend and I were playing.

It was better when the player base was still really small. You wouldn't have to wait ages to get a match. Also, the normal static queue time maxes out at like 1.5 min - ranked static queue maxes out at 8 min. But now that the player base has grown quite a bit, dynamic just makes more sense.

What I mean is how is a static queue ever better than a dynamic one? Wouldn't a proper dynamic queue be faster than a static queue when there's people and just as long when there isn't? The only reason I could see why a static queue would be faster is because it's forcing bad matchups when a dynamic one isn't but you can still make the dynamic queue force those very same bad matchups so at that point I don't see reason why it would change anything.

I've always been all for dynamic queues, I was just relaying the explanation. Static always ends up in bad matchups somewhere.

Now, their matchmaking system is also wonky as hell. When you start ranked, you have 1500 MMR. When you win, initially you get something ridiculous like 200 MMR pts. So I frequently get queued with people with only 2 ranked games (I've got ~300 at this point) because their MMR was inflated to 1900 via acceleration. I have no idea if the upcoming queue change will do anything to address this (I'm assuming not).

Today has been filled with destruction and repair.

Two people who assigned to the same project as me, stated me as the reason for why they wanted to be off the project because I was asking too much of them. Apparently, just checking images once a day is too much to ask. I don't know if I should be mad that this happened or sad that my coworkers don't want to even talk about the problem they have with me. People are some two faced assholes in 'merica .

Well, see, when people are used to not doing anything, they don't like when they're all of a sudden expected to do thing. It's all on you 6ah
