    that's really weird

    searching the issue a bunch of people appear to have it and no answer is ever posted so

    we'll see what they say

    I'd try a clean windows install if I hadn't LITERALLY done that last week

    its probably shitty registry hooks

    nuke it
    First, try going to the control panel and do a proper uninstall. This issue happens a lot when you just delete the installation directory. If you did this already then read on.

    Be warned.. you can screw your computer up by doing this...

    1. Create a restore point. The restore point will backup your registry. If you damage your registry then we can recover your system by restoring the restore point.
    2. Launch regedit: Start, Run, Regedit
    3. Search/Find HiRez
    4. Delete all entries that include "hirez"
    5. Run reinstallation program again and install to a folder that does not include a copy of smite.

    I had some issues last night and did a full windows reinstall

    STILL getting the same issue.

    Well, yeah, I figured. But as a good American I must proclaim my insistence on spending money on it even without knowing exactly what it is.

    Was able to get smite running, think my SSD might be dying as when I installed to a different drive it went

    Will try to play some this week as long as my computer doesn't shit the bed a 3rd time in a month

    knock on wood

    it does nothing to stop a smurf from having a greater game sense than anyone else in the game. on top of that it's completely random as to whether you unlock your better talents through the process of leveling. nazeebo for example has his complete build from level 1, save using spirit instead of gargantuan for ult.

    And also I don't know if you meant it this way but calling someone "sports fan" might be the most condescending thing I've ever read on the internet

    I don't know if anyone else has been getting the emails, but apparently Orcs Must Die Unchained is starting "phase 2" of its closed beta on the 24th

    which basically means they're going to change a whole bunch of stuff at once based on the data they have so far

    I don't have impressions yet because they're choosing to explain things via long youtube videos of the devs explaining the changes out loud instead of just typing out some patch notes

    plus I just haven't touched the game in a while

    edit: also tencent is going to be publishing the game in China, further expanding their monopoly on anything remotely resembling a MOBA in that country

    I'm inclined to agree with these points, but from a design perspective, it still feels like it is meant to address the smurfing issue by way of limiting the effectiveness of newly created characters.

    I am also inclined to agree with the point that it is not very good at addressing the core of the issue.

    Also today I found out that apparently not all models of HP hardware are supported in all regions.

    I found this out by taking my laptop to an authorized repair center and having them tell me that they can't help me with my brand new brick of a laptop because they cannot get any of the parts for it.

    I had a knee jerk "HP, though" reaction when I went to buy this thing, but it was a CostCo machine so I was like "should be fine."

    Always go with your gut, kiddies.

    Gonna do what I shoulda done in the first place and buy a damn ACER or ASUS, but I dunno who long that'll take. Gotta look at my budget.

    Gonna have to fly without me a bit longer, @Bobkins Flymo

    Be advised:

    We've got us some patch notes to look forward to this afternoon. Man, Twitter really fucked up the cropping on that teaser image...
    Anyway, some are guessing it's the CogPrime Scylla skin for the Worlds winners. Guess we'll see at 4pm EST!

    Steampunk Serket
    Cog-Scylla (wearing a cog hoodie, and each of the dogs have a tag with a cog player's name)

    Nah, I'm fucking with you all

    Passive nerfed in how much speed/prots it gave, and lasts 20% shorter.
    Healing reduced on 3, and lifesteal interactions with hammer nerfed.

    Cabrakan buff! No longer suffers the move speed penalty for attacking during his 1. Man, he really needed this from the beginning.

    Edit: Like, he doesn't even need the attack speed buff if he doesn't incur movement ability. What would happen before is that you would start the swing, and your target would have moved away from you because move speed debuff.

    I just don't see a reason to believe it's meant to do that instead of the stated intent, easing new players into the talent system without overwhelming them with 4 choices every few levels every new character.

    Those are some good changes!

    Also Valkyrie Freya is pretty great, but Pixel Buster and Northern Lights exists.

    bad news though

    the PTS goes up today/tomorrow, with the patch scheduled to go life wednesday next week

    which is... baffling

    It's more of a way to make bans more punishing than prevent smurfing

    Putting Feaster Bunny, a skin that is three years old at this point, behind a chest is really fucking stupid.

    On the bright side, your sister will love that patch.

    League's adding a system for character mastery similar to Smite's, which is good. I think that kind of thing is fun and should be in more games.
