General Discussion / Spread the Word of M:BG and earn LPs!
« on: December 04, 2014, 07:36:30 pm »
I've got eight heirloom points that are probably going to rot once M:BG gets going, so I'm going to give them away in return for effort on behalf of you guys promoting it!
Here's the trick. Create an Imgur picture or collection that gets 3,000 or more views and has a link to the M:BG KS as part of the description and earn a loompoint! The pictures have to at least have somewhat of a relation to to M:BG (even if it's a picture of kittens and tits with the Melee logo in a corner)
It doesn't have to be Imgur. It could be YouTube, a facebook post with likes, etc. Different places will have different thresholds for getting that first loompoint. Wait, first loompoint? Yep. Each time you double the previous goal you earn another loompoint, similarly to how levels are (or were, hell, I don't know).
This post/contest was encouraged by this post and I really want to try to help out. There are materials that can be used to try to promote the campaign in a (albeit large) zip file.
Loom points will be first come first serve, so get on it! If I run out of loompoints maybe I'll start on paying out via paypal. We'll just have to see what you guys can do!

General / Adsense kinda sucks
« on: November 25, 2014, 05:57:12 pm »
Ran a short Adsense campaign with Google targeting 'gamers'
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Some general information
Impr - Short for impressions. This was the number of times the ad was displayed
CTR - Click-through rate, simply clicks/impr
Display Network only - I didn't run this ad on Google searches, but on webpages that Google deemed relevant
Cost was way too high for what I imagine was very few pledges, but hopefully it got some pledges.
and yes, I'm farming for that Rook piece

General Discussion / What happened to the monocle movement?
« on: October 10, 2014, 04:50:01 pm »
A year or two ago when I was playing more regularly than I do now, and before I took a ~9-month hiatus from playing, at least 75% of the posts I saw around were from people with avatars with top hats, monocles, and even cigars. I see a lot of drawn (or something) avatars now, so it seems like that's been a newer movement, but I don't really like it. Bring back the monocles!

In fact, I think the bug is derived from the fact that there are two missile speeds, which is another bug.
Do we actually have a website maintainer?

Since we no longer get damage bonuses on loomed arrows Sharp and Masterwork don't make sense.
I vote for
Large Bag of
Mega Bag of
Ultra Bag of
Or more realistically
Large Bag of
Quiver of
Large Quiver of
or something like that.. I don't know. Maybe Tall Grande Venti?

Beginner's Help and Guides / More Riding vs HA
« on: August 13, 2014, 03:50:52 pm »
I've got the current level 31 build
And I'm looking at when I hit 32. I originally planned on getting +3 riding to maximize the number of horses that I can hop on mid-battle (I'm in no way a devoted HA), but after looking again at the horse shop, there's only two more horses that don't seem like they're very common. I'm considering instead going to just 4 Riding and putting the third point into 1 HA. I don't know if it would be worth it though.
This would also lead to (if I ever get that high) when I turn 33 I could have 7 Riding and 1 HA, or 7 Riding and +1 PS, as 7 riding is the ultimate goal so that I can always hop on a horse at random times in the battle.
tldr; Is 1 HA noticable enough to be worth getting for the occasional HA ruse?

Suggestions Corner / Remove Valor
« on: July 16, 2014, 10:52:55 pm »
and revamp the multiplier. Valor encourages players to be heroes and discourages good team-play.
Possible substitution:
Change multiplier so that when you lose, instead of resetting back to 1x you lose 2x (e.g. if you're rollin' 5x you go down to 3x). I think that could be a possible substitute that would reverse what valor does to teamplay.
Happy to hear other suggestions as to better orient this game towards team-play. Or arguments that valor doesn't discourage team-play.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Why do throwing weapons require WPF?
« on: July 14, 2014, 05:21:10 pm »
I can pick up any old crossbow from a corpse and shoot it. But I sure as hell can't pick up a throwing axe and give it a wildly inaccurate toss.
Was thinking about sliding 3-4 points into PT in order to use random thrown weapons from the ground as a 'screw you' to HA and such once in a while. However I then remembered reading something about the fact that PT reduces WPF by # points per skill point and that you can't even use them if you don't have enough WPF. Why is this restriction here? Why not on other ranged weps? Why not on melee? It seems a bit odd that it's not on at least bows.

Beginner's Help and Guides / Horseback Swingable Weapons
« on: April 12, 2013, 05:57:35 pm »
Does anyone have a list of weapons that aren't just for lancing/poking from horseback? I know of the Long Hafted Blade as the longest swingable horseback, but what others are there? I'm mostly polearms and some 1h, so I guess I need to ask, are all 2h's swingable from horseback or do some have only poke like many polearms.
