Re: Devs did you forget you used to ban folk for this?

Officially approving an unmoderated external discord for cooperation in a mode that requires you to join solo, in a wider community that consistently chooses to pug. You're trying to grow this mode with new players and then giving the try-hards an external method to dominate and prevent newcomers fr...

Re: New player from Aus/OCE - any recommendations?

Yeah the ping can cause some weird issues, but all the combat is tab targeted so you won’t notice it. If you get a VPN like exit lag it’s better, but its pretty good anyway.

If your playing Order check out SMASH, lots of Aussie / kiwi members.

Re: [Ironbreaker] The punt?

Knight is not comparable to anything because the class is very OP when it comes to utility. The only reason it's not visible is because very few people play it, since it hits like a grandma wielding a wet noodle. I found knights were the most popular tank on order, or maybe a very close second to I...

Re: [Ironbreaker] The punt?

Making all our buffs 20 seconds is probably the best first step that doesn’t influence balance too much but makes it more fun to play. Tbh I don’t think the punt needs changing. It serves its purpose and I like some classes having unique flavour, it’s cool that the BG and Kotbs can have a super punt...

Re: [Ironbreaker] The punt?

The IB isn’t useless, but the fact is you can take almost any part of its kit and find a better version of that skill on destro, or the same skill but with less restrictions. Take the outgoing heal debuff for example, which requires a tactic for both BG and IB. The BG doesn’t have a cooldown and the...

Re: [Ironbreaker] Fortress weapon/shield for Def Spec

Yeah the 61 shield and 1h are better imo.

The fortress 2h weapon is good for the potentially getting off an incoming + outgoing heal debuff in a single hit with punishing knock (very satisfying). Other than that you're better off with bloodlord.

Re: Interesting data on latest patches

I'm a Destro main player with many very active discords for over 1.5 years now. The discords are mostly all ghost towns now.. Where there were multiple Full WBs before there is either non or maybe 4-5.. These were top guilds with highly dedicated players. True I started after Lazy Peon but last sum...

Re: The Problem With City Queing

The other side of this coin is that if you ARE forming a full wb, you are guaranteed a good fight which is way way better. Our cities have been excellent since this change. I know people want to queue small, but if you are just going to be matched with randoms anyway, is there a reason not to group ...

Re: Reroll destro

SMASH is organised as a community, and we are organised in fights, but we allow a lot of freedom to our members when it comes to ‘who plays what’ in our wb composition. As much as possible we let people play alts or try new specs. That hurts our performance because you have to have the right composi...

Re: Patch Notes 01/01/2021

My first thought on this was that it would help order avoid uncoordinated pug groups early in queue, but they will still be premade - so it won’t prevent us getting those groups and snore fest fights. I’d really prefer City mmr rankings so we can be sure of a good fight. Can understand the frustrati...
