Q: Counter Strike: Global Offensive Overwatch

My rank is currently MGE with 131 wins and over 950 hours of playtime. I play clean, never used anything and I hardly ever do get banned from matchmaking (30 minutes for abandoning is as much as I've ever done) Will I be getting it anytime soon..?

Q: How are the code names determined?

When completing an operation in MGS5 you receive a ranking and a codename, based on your performance. How is the code name determined? In previous MGS games, the codename was based off of specific (usually hidden) criteria you met during the mission. If the same system is used, what are the crite...

there was amazing lightning in the far distance in the sky

Chippies

Frank

Huh. I was not aware the new sets weren't Seasonal.

I've gotten two pieces of the Monk set. Both ancient.

Chippies

2:11 AM

@Frank sets usually aren't seasonal, afaik

Frank

@Chippies Perhaps, but I figured they were giving players more of an incentive.

Chippies

@Frank there are legendaries that are build-changing in seasons

this claw literally doubles the damage of the new set's build i.imgur.com/OwbzlYb.png

Frank

@Chippies Yep. I played Season 2 just for the Gungdo gear.

Problem is, you're still at the mercy of the RNG.

And that's my largest beef with Diablo.

Chippies

@Frank there's even more ways to get gear now

upgrading rares to legendary is insane

Frank

Get gear, yes.

Q: Testfor multiple dropped items

I want to detect multiple of the same dropped items but all the command blocks get triggered instead of just one. How can i do this. :[

minecraft

Frank

Get the gear you want, slightly better.

Chippies

you can literally reroll your items from scratch now with the cube

Frank

@Chippies With 50 forgotten souls.

Chippies

you can reroll set items to be different piece of set

@Frank that's hardly an RNG issue

Frank

@Chippies You still need to find those 50 legendaries.

So yeah, it's still an RNG issue.

Chippies

2:17 AM

legendary drops are so common, rng hardly makes a difference

either way, you should only reroll things you think are worth rerolling

weigh the cost vs benefit

Frank

You're missing the point.

RNG is still an insanely huge factor.

It's why I hated playing seasons in the first place.

Chippies

it's very possible to play couple hours a day and get all your gear

it seems to me that you don't play the game much at all and always talk about RNG being crap to you

while, yes, RNG can be bad, you actually have to play to get a chance at it

Frank

@Chippies Dude, I've been playing it a bit here and there since the patch came out.

The point is, RNG can screw you over.

I had to play for something on the order of 200 hours to find my first legendary.

Chippies

@Frank oh definitely - I spent thousands of shards trying to get my set helm and I got 3 the next day

@Frank I'm assuming you're talking about pre-loot2.0

Frank

@Chippies Yeah, this is when D3 first came out.

Chippies

2:21 AM

I got to inferno without ever seeing a legendary back then

to be fair, legendaries were worse than rares anyway

I have 47 hours on my season monk (take away couple hours of afk'ing in town) and I can run T10

Frank

@Chippies Because you've found the gear needed to do so.

Chippies

my season 3 barb had 65 hours total and I was facerolling T6 and soloed grift 41

my season 2 monk had 57 hours total and I was facerolling T6

the point is - you have to put in some time to get the gear you want

I can't be that lucky

Frank

That time seems to favour you.

Because I got the bracers in season 2, and that was it.

Chippies

my wife played with me, she was facerolling just as much as I was

Frank

I had to wait for the season to end to actually equip him with the Sunwukos.

Chippies

2:25 AM

the rng can be bad, but if you keep at it, you will get what you want

Frank

You've had way better luck than I have.

Chippies

and in my experience, if you only run one or two rifts at a time, you won't get much good stuff

Frank

That time differs from player to player.

Chippies

I suppose it's rng, or maybe confirmation bias

Frank

Many builds need specific, exact, gear to shine.

I tried to even attempt getting that, and all I got were the bracers.

Chippies

2:26 AM

@Frank I was running a different build until I had every single item on my list

Frank

Our experiences differ; you love it, and have no issue.

two bugs

@Frank They're getting better about this, now there are typically a few different sets that allow for good farming

Frank

@Chippies Obviously.

But that's my point; you're just going, "Meh, I have no issue, so you can't be. You're just not putting in the time."

Chippies

I had enough gear for the other build to faceroll T6

two bugs

But yeah, they're going hard on the "set bonuses" make or break the game

Frank

2:27 AM

It's not that simple.

Chippies

@Frank rng over time is more or less similar for everyone

Frank

@Chippies It's supposed to be.

Doesn't mean there aren't outliers.

two bugs

@Chippies Over astronomical timescales, maybe

Chippies

if you can't even get a couple items you need, your account must be cursed or you're just not playing enough

or maybe I'm just blessed with amazing RNG, Idk

two bugs

I've played a lot and never been able to reach a 'final build', though

Frank

2:29 AM

I'm telling you. I got one item during S2. The bracers. That was it.

two bugs

@Chippies So far, you absolutely are this season.

Frank

I want less RNG in the process.

Chippies

@Frank I don't know what to tell you, I didn't play with you then

so I don't know how much you played or what were you even doing

Frank

It's not enjoyable to smash your head against something you have no control over, hoping it dispenses what you need.

Chippies

@twobugs I've facerolled T6 since season 2

two bugs

2:30 AM

T6 isn't that hard. But you've been super lucky this season

@Frank I'd recommend running with friends of the same class (or even different classes)

Extra drops

Chippies

@twobugs this. Definitely this.

Frank

@twobugs This would help, if you actually want to play seasons.

two bugs

Fair enough.

Frank

But I don't, and that's all everybody else is doing.

Chippies

I play seasons because I get to a final build and then I run with it for couple days and I get bored

two bugs

2:31 AM

Well if you want to play seasons I'll powerlevel you :P

Chippies

I can't play non-seasons anymore

I can powerlevel you and help you gear up

Frank

I'm not really interested in starting from scratch again. But thank you for the offers.

One season of screwy RNG was enough for me.

Chippies

I'm actually curious how fast powerleveling on T10 would be

it could get pretty fast on T6 already

two bugs

I got a second character PL'd and it was stupid fast

Frank

I just burned through 50 forgotten souls rolling ring affixes.

two bugs

2:33 AM

You can even just do a tanky 0dps build at 70 and be instantly helpful

Chippies

I stick to just one character in seasons, my storage can hardly deal with just one, nevermind two or more :P

I'm loving the cube though, it's helping me get rid of a lot of legendaries

I generally play with wife and we both play same class, so that helps with gear, but I soloed for the most part in season 3 and still got to my final build

Frank

@Chippies Your acquisition rates seem to be at the higher end of the curve.

minecraft

Chippies

@Frank I know :P

Frank

I firmly believe there's some middle ground, somewhere.

You don't want your players getting bored too quickly, but at the same time, you want them to feel like they're moving forward.

Chippies

I still think though that, as unfair it may be to certain people (employed people), the amount of time you put into the game is directly proportionate to the amount of gear you get

I seem to play around 50 hours on average per season

which is very little, because I play 4+ hours a day

Frank

@Chippies So because I have a job, I should be at a disadvantage?

Chippies

so, usually 2-3 weeks before I am done with it

Yuuki

2:54 AM

Over a YEAR later, The Slowpoke Song finally gets an official translation.

Chippies

@Frank no, but you can't expect to have the game be balanced around your schedule

and I don't mean that in a condescending way or anything like that

Frank

@Chippies No, but I can expect the game to be friendlier to those who can't commit an unreasonable number of hours to it.

If Blizzard is hostile toward their working playerbase, they're going to alienate a lot of people.

Chippies

@Frank it's certainly done a lot to be friendlier to those who can't

Frank

@Chippies And they're moving in the right direction.

user15026

@Yuuki What did I even just watch

Chippies

2:56 AM

I can usually run T1 30 minutes after getting to 70

and that means a lot, considering torment used to be difficult

Frank

@Chippies Torment didn't used to exist.

Chippies

@Frank it was introduced before the expansion

I had never even run T6 until season 2

Frank

If I'm trying to upgrade a rare into a specific set item, does the type of helmet matter?

Or the type of rare, I should say?

Chippies

@Frank if you want a set spirit stone, you use a rare spirit stone

if you want a set helm, you use a rare helm

nothing else matters

Frank

@Chippies What if I want, say, the Ulianna's? I don't think that's a Spirit Stone.

Chippies

3:00 AM

@Frank that's a helm, I'm 99% sure

Yuuki

The fact of the matter is, Blizzard's games are not very friendly to an audience who can't invest at least 4-5 hours a night. That's a problem they've had for a long time.

Chippies

I can check, one sec

@Frank yes, it's a set helm

so you upgrade any rare helm

Frank

@Chippies So just jam helmets in, and pull the lever?

Chippies

@Frank if you have the breaths, sure

that's how I got both of my shenlong's fists

upgraded bunch of rare fist weapons until I got them

Frank

Well, that got me an Ulianna's.

But not ancient. Boo.

Well, that was annoying

One of my headlights is burnt out

So I bought a new bulb, getting the one their system said I needed

Got home, went to change it out, following instructions I found online, and found that the new bulb wasn't the same as the old one

So I went back to the store, exchanged it for the right bulb, came home, and put it in

Headlight still won't turn on

Took a closer look, and realized I had accidentally changed out the high beam instead of the low beam -.-

So now I have to go back tomorrow and get the bulb I originally had
