so you thought it was most likely to be 4.5 months? /yawn. you do not understand statistics beyond a 101 level and honestly i dont think you understand 101 level either. given the info we had sept 22 a normal curve would be completely ridiculous to use and just because its “simple” for you doesnt mean it is in any way accurate. the way this has gone has been more akin to this being a catastrophic claim
I fully acknowledge it is not a normal curve. Let me rephrase. I thought their was a high likelihood that ladder would start sometime between 1 and 7.5 months. I thought the most likely time frame within this range was ~ 4.5 months.
You are missing the forest for the trees.
so on sept 22, you thought the most likely time frame for ladder was 4.5 months? give me a break, no one thought that. no post anywhere suggests anyone thought that and many posts suggests the opposite.
you still are trying to use normal math. and maybe you think ladder release dates follow a normal curve.
I know exactly what I thought in mid-August.
i am 100% certain you do not. no standard deviations needed. most witnesses/victims think they are certain what they saw and their memories are very often wrong. our brains make us think we are certain of things that are straight up wrong
Then you are mistaken.
What you claim to have thought six months and more ago isn’t of any value as you have your post history hidden (I wonder why) and so are avoiding being held accountable for such claims.
My post history is not hidden.
Just use the search function and type in my username MicroRNA. It will self-populate.
For your convenience, the link to all my posts is
The forum search feature is easy to use and no poster can hide their post history.
You know what’s even easier? Clicking the avatar of literally any other poster but you.
But gosh, what a surprise, for someone so certain ladder would take 2 weeks to 9 months, wait, 4.5 months, wait,… 9+ months, shocker there’s not one mention of when you thought ladder would actually happen.
I knew Covid-19 would become a 2+ year global pandemic back when it was first emerging in Wuhan.
{Well then why didn’t you say anything?}
I KNOW WHAT I THOUGHT.
The back and forth in this thread lately reminds me of two elephants fighting over a grape.
Exactly, I knew back in August that there was large uncertainty when ladder would happen with a significant time range. Why would I make a specific prediction within this cloud of uncertainty in August? It was clear what best case and worse case scenarios would be back then.
You never stated anything. It’s okay to say something and be wrong. I thought ladder would be out within a couple months. I probably said so. I was wrong. See? No big deal.
You’re making unsubstantiated claims about what you thought with literally no reason for anyone to believe you. And for what? To retroactively defend Blizzard for not giving a more specific window than “after release”. Blizzard doesn’t need you shilling for them.
Hopefully 2.4 next week to play around with with real builds, fingers crossed my bowazon can actually kill stuff!
do you listen to yourself?
“large uncertainty” but “it was clear”
you argue with yourself to fit whatever bs you want to push. you contradict all the time. are a liar and a hypocrite
Did you read what I wrote in context?
Best case was no trouble at launch and ladder almost immediately thereafter. Worst case was huge, persistent troubles that took a long time to fix. It was clear that it would be at or between these two extremes. The uncertainty was where preciseky reality would fall in this range.
What I mean is a sorc shouldn’t be able to do 20,000 fire damage by swinging a wand because she enchanted herself. She couldn’t in 2.3, but she can in 2.4.
you said the range was clear. the range STILL isnt clear and its march. “worst case” to some was 3 months and apparently to nostradomus over here was 9 months
PezRadar said the ETA is late March for ladder.
See you in ladder or not.
that doesnt change the fact your claim the range was clear pre launch is utter garbage.
The truth does not care what you believe.
D2R ladder is coming according to PezRadar.
