I thought those lenovo's with the sli had a 2nd video card in lieu of a dvd drive?
Nevertheless they're awesome.
They share the same Bay. ... so you remove one to use the other, but mine came with both. ...I just choose which I want in the bay.
I don't really use disk any more so I just leave in the second vid card.... and yes it runs great, especially for the price.
The only trouble I have had is with throttling the vid cards in certain games. .. I have to enable vsync and limit the max frames to 60...otherwise they jump to 110-209 fps and it was causing alot unnecessary heat issues... but throttling to vsync gives a constant 60fps and with a cooler never gets hot. It was pumping out some serious heat though till I saw how many fps it was putting out.
He is meaning in between games in a best of 3 you have cards your allowed to change out that are written down.
I think that is adding too much complexity to a midnight game.
Just let people use the cards they have, they can change decks in between games if they want as originally posted.
You stated mlg says you cant change heros between games in a match but you can change heros between matches.. are we going with this rule set?
I like the idea of being restricted to just one hero per match(best of 3) but you can swith between matches. And I like havong the option to change preassembled decks... I think switching cards in an out will just delay the general gameplay/tourney.
It didnt seem logical to go with any of the other options as I wanted to keep it under 1000 and all the used laptops I saw had lower overall specs and didnt come with a warranty. Plus I get a deal through work.
It comes with
4th gen i7 4700mq Windows 8.1 15.6" led glossy 1920x1080 display 2(sli) - gt755m gddr5 2gb nvdia cards 8gb ddr3 1600 1tb 5400 rpm hard drive Dvd recordable 7200 b/g/n wireless card Bluetooth 1year warranty And 6cell 72watt hour battery
I would like to run some Lan Ops at the Lan... do some co-op ops. Seems as this is one of the only few games anymore that offers full offline lan play, it should have good speed and be good fun to run some large group warfare operations .
If anyone is interested, post here so we can get a round about of interest. I can then choose some missions and maybe set up some times to run them so as to not interfere with the tourneys
If there is enough interest, I may consider hosting a chivalry side tourney... depending on the amount of people we get, we could do 1v1, 3v3, 5v5 arena matches. Last man/team standin, double eliminations by way of winners and losers bracket
I get what you both are saying and though I don't entirely disagree I feel that both of you as people who have paid for cards dont share the headache or choose not to; that existed playing the basic pre constructed decks vs your vastly superior selection of cards... yes I agree 100% that is how the cookie crumbles... but making a saying like whether you paid or not - the better player advances is very far from the truth... I just started playing the game at the mini lan and hardly had an hour under my belt when I started the tourney and its not obnoxiously hard to understand and or master.. the problem that existed was people had cards that weren't at my disposal much less comparable.
I personally at this point dont disagree with what you have stated, but you asked for our opinion and it was given... the game was extremely challenging as a new player, playing against someone who had more vested. Does it hold true for most games... sure... but im the kind of ccg player that likes to rip open a random decks and go at it.
To combat spending money we could run a limited tournament, which is to ban legendary and epic cards, since you can easily build a expert and rare collection without spending money. I think this would be fun since the modern meta game revolves legendary cards like Leeroy and Rag Control.
EDIT: Also, coming from playing in professional Magic The Gathering, YuGiOh, and Pokémon TCG Tournaments, I have never seen an issue of the crowd coaching a player, but if you really think its a problem then maybe we can find a way to display games where people can watch them without incident.
I personally completely agree, I like the limited aspect of what types of cards and level of cards are allowed... I understand that some people have spent time and money on the game but after playing at the mini lan it was clear that any player who spent even just a moderate amount of money on cards had a significant advantage over someone who had either just started playing or through normal progression.... I understand your stance is that the game is about skill and luck... but that luck heavily rides on what cards are at your disposal and can only carry you so far... for instance I don't have a card that does over 9 base damage, but people were hitting me in that tourney with custom cards and legendarys that were hitting for over 12 points each time they played em... it was taking me 4 rounds to do what they were slugging in one round. Yes it was a prepped deck vs a non prepped but I feel that the game itself isnt really balanced all that well personally.
The tourney should be more about skill and luck and not how deep someones pockets are. Yes it can be argued that someone with a bought deck can still loose, but we all know 50 bucks in this game gives you a hell of an advantage.
My gaming group posted this, We all got the digital deluxe for under 50.

Standard version is $60 USD. Digital Deluxe version is $80 USD (includes Season Pass that gives way to more DLC, maps, etc.) and is similar in design to BF:4 format. That's out of a lot of price ranges, but I found the link below. I followed the steps to the letter for Firefox and was able to pre-order the Digital Deluxe game for $48.40 with tax.
I was thinking about purchasing a "gaming" laptop for just general around the house use, and pack along for the LANS... A brunt of my gaming will still be done on my main machine, but i want something I can tool around with up in the living room, or away from home.
I dont really want to bust the bank as i simply dont think I would use it enought to constitute spending big bucks.
I was looking at the lenovo y510p Series about the 2 or 3 tier model.... Anyone have any thoughts ot suggestions pertaining to this series or a recommendation on another make in the same price range, I want to keep it under 1000. with 800ish preferable.
