[quote]spam is fine[/quote] spam! never say I don't get you anything.

[quote]I figure the test tourney would be a good place to trial out our connections and see how it goes[/quote] agreed - I'll sign up tonight. we should pm this crap instead of spamming forums.

Yes I would however I assume the same problems would arise that I had last time round - generally lag for EU ppl, and time of day for US ppl. And most of the time a combination of the two. I just wanted to check it out.

[quote]There is a huge difference between an Erebus Batswarming into you from barely out of Fog, then biting and Mass Charming and then being ganked by his slower teammates compared to a DA swapping you from barely out of Fog into enemy towers and instantly chained stunned by his slower teammates.

Always. Especially late game when base speeds are so high and most have treads. The extra range is a must imo. If you want to increase the range further i wouldn't mind but it is kind of ridiculous if you are getting swapped out of the fog (not sure what the range of fog is to block sight). If you want to increase the range of swap 1 to level 3 I would hate to be a rook (or any dg really) early game getting swapped into the range of the gold flag towers whilst holding a lane on cata (especial

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Don't change swap. It's fine and there is no better feeling than swapping a shield-porting oak for a gank.

[quote]HAH, that's why I said my play was nothing too great but MCP item build is what I wanted to show.[/quote] no our sed...

you're a "soft opening" [e digicons]:grin:[/e]

[quote]I expect that we will have several small tournaments in the near future. Some will be 3v3. Some will be 2v2.[/quote] I agree with this. Maybe have a run through asap without prize money first to get it running smoothly and sort out any unforeseen problems with the new (kira's) system? You can probably learn more just by having a go rather than too much discussion, seeing what is wrong and then fixing it for the next round. I would also play without prize money...

Why do you think this has anything to do with stardock, or am I missing something? It seems more likely that your system has been comprimised and now you are having trouble with anything online.

[quote] it just tells your CPU to do it... the same CPU that would do it if you were using a software raid. So it just adds overhead. [/quote] ok sort of makes sense. If the fake-RAID directs the cpu to do the work, which is the same as the software RAID then how does this add overhead? Presumably the software RAID has to run residently under your OS which would take up both RAM and load the cpu. Whereas the "fake" RAID does what in its place? Sur

[quote] I keep everything else on another drive and perform weekly backups to an external.[/quote] ok well that's vigilant... Out of interest re my previous post I assume SSD's have better fail rates than traditional mechanical drives. Is this correct?

Ok I didnt know that as I always thought h/w was faster than s/w. However, i was actually referring to hard drive fails as you are twice as likely to lose your data in raid0.

pacov make sure you are keeping non-essential data on the RAID0 or mirroring it on to a slower array. I have lost 3 RAID0 arrays with good quality drives (well not the best but most recent was seagate). Not sure what the kill rate of SSD's are as I still don't think they are worth the cash except for a single OS drive. Most modern MB's can handle RAID5 or something with redundancy. Anyway my point is the time I have ever saved with a personal use RAID0 has been blown in lost data and fecking

Contact support@stardock.com and they will sort it out.

[quote]Besides the Oaks spirit rushing the citadel bit, is there any other skills that would be disqualification worthy?[/quote] Not that I know of (apart from dg combo restrictions) but there is a separate thread dedicated to rules etc for the tourney.. best to check that out.

Hi black, I wasn't saying that you wouldn't be welcome to enter, I have nothing to do with the tourney. I just know that this game (probably like dota) is not noob friendly especially when playing with/against experienced players. So a separate section would make it much more inviting in a tourney format and likely better all round for the community.

Actually that comment raises a good point. A separate part of the tourney for people with < say 200 games (smurfs excluded) would be of benefit to raise interest in the game. I know numbers are limited and this idea may have logistical problems but it seems pointless to have new ppl entering a tourney vs experienced players and seeing their citadel flattened in 20 minutes. I don't think that would endear new ppl to the game. Even if say 8 (2 player) teams comprising new players could be fo

Is the below correct then? (1) The upgrade effects both DG's and creeps. (2) And, the splash increase effects arrow towers and the direct damage increases effect the beam towers? (3) A query: Is this possibly where the misconception arose as the first beam tower that the creeps get to has no arrow tower and therefore you would not see any increased splash damage? thanks for the effort on this guys it would be great to sort it out..

Man what a bunch of naysayers.. What's the harm in trying?? If you've quit the game then stop shouting it down from a distance. If you have nothing left to contribute then piss off. Why does someone's enthusiasm necessitate a negative response? Just give it a go pacov - you've got nothing to lose except your time which you seem to be very generous with. It would be great for existing players even if it doesn't cause an increase in new sales. Defin

ice tb with such a favor would be pretty difficult to deal with..

I haven't watched this replay and before I do is the point of this thread that someone had a bad game?
