I’ve noticed something weird which has persisted for some time now. It was minor enough to ignore for a while but I figured it was worth reporting.
If I load Giant Bomb in a new window using Safari for iOS, the page loads and any background audio - Music app playback, Podcasts, etc will pause. It seems something is loading on the page which interrupts CoreAudio.
This behaviour is usually caused by an auto-played media element, but no video appears to be playing, and I’ve been able to reproduce this on both iPhone and iPad devices (running iOS 11.3) with wired, wireless and loadspeaker playback all yielding the same results.
So Vainglory for iOS and Android got a pretty sizeable 2.0 patch this week.
I played a couple of matches super early on in the game's development and bounced right off it, but I have been pleasantly surprised revisiting it. They've done a great job of integrating gameplay video tutorials and newcomer-friendly daily challenges for anyone new to MOBAs, and the mechanics are just flexible enough to scratch that Dota itch when I'm on my lunch break at work. Winner, winner.
The only thing that was missing was a Giant Bomb Guild. Unfortunately "Bomb" hit their explicit filter, as did "GB Unofficial Classic" for whatever reason, so if anyone would like to join the Duders Guild send me a friend request over at LeeCostigan and I'll get you added. It's a pretty barebones guild page right now, but I'll flesh it out a little if this gets any traction.
Strikes from the SIVA Crisis Heroic playlist are guaranteed two blue engrams at above your current light level until you hit 365. This is far more efficient than IB which has a chance of one drop around your LL. I would grind a few strikes and equip (or infuse, if you have enough marks) each piece of gear you get. From memory, I was ranking up 1 LL every half hour / 45 mins this way.
You can also get one Legendary engram per day (per character, too) just by participating in a Public Event. Just head into patrol and you'll find something - http://destinypublicevents.com can help with this. These will decrypt up to 365 with a chance of an exotic.
It's also worth spending Legendary Marks on a Ghost or Artefact as these are often the hardest drops to find beyond 350. This is completely anecdotal, but myself a some friends found that our Light Levels accelerated a lot quicker when every gear slot was 350 or higher. If you have a slot holding you back, maybe grab something from a vendor.
I stack pretty regularly with people in the Giantbomb chat room. As long as you let them know you're pretty new, then nobody will mind and they're generally very laid back and helpful. I'd start there. What time zone are you on?
Join the GiantBomb chat room in the Dota client. There's no password, it's always pretty well populated and I've found some super helpful people in there who are patient with newbies. If I'm about, I'll keep an eye out for you!
Not sure how long this will be available for, but it's an absolute steal. I was gonna pick up MKX full price for the PS4, but my PC is pretty decent and this'll tide me over until an inevitable sale or collection edition further down the road.
MOD EDIT
CDKeys was one of the vendors last year selling stolen Sniper Elite 3 keys that were subsequently revoked by Rebellion. So, I wouldn't go so far as to say they are a completely legit source for keys.
