Short Questions Thread

I see some news on the top of the forum, below are the two questions i don't got it.
1. Whats the meaning of the Hardcore Ladder and Softcore ladder? I see them in the https://tsw.median-xl.com/ladder
2. What's the meaning of Ladder Reset? Is it meaning that the playing character level and items will be reset for a new patch coming.

Hardcore is a mode you can choose when making a new character. It just means that when you die, you die. You can't rejoin or get your character back. That's just the end of that character. Soft core is the opposite. You're allowed to die and keep all your gear and character, etc.

The ladder reset was about a month ago? I can't remember exactly when, but it means that it's the start of a new season. Ladder characters are ones that are enabled for the current season's top charts to see who's doing the best or has the most experience on that character. It's really popular at ladder resets for people to race to get lvl 120 and get the charms and such. Ladder characters can only play and trade with other ladder characters. Once a ladder season is over, the character becomes non-ladder, meaning you still keep the character and all gear and such, but won't be able to play with the then-current ladder characters.

Thanks for your reply. Its really very useful which i never know. I still wait for the GS 7 to be online because I'm in China and if i choose other GS, i have a really big big delay. So upset.

Yea. The gs7 host moved recently and has had issues with Internet and hasn't been able to get it up and running but they've been working on it.

just started using the speedcalc and im a bit lost. im trying to mess around to get acquainted with the program and figure out breakpoints on wolf (yes i know there is a thread on it but i want to try to do it myself as an example) a couple questions.

1. is there a list of wsm values and skill fcr values somewhere?
2. if im trying to hit an ias breakpoint on wolf for example how does ias on jewels in weapon work versus ias from jewels in say a helmet or other gear pieces . i was talking to Lhawkins about it and he mentioned i needed to make sure the jewels are in my weapon to get to 90 ias to get the next breakpoint in my long sword. but he said dont worry about ias jewels in non weapon gear pieces ie helm chest etc...
3. when i open up the speedcalc and i expand the (select weapon type panel) it only says fist. does that mean that i installed it wrong somehow?

im sure i will have more questions but that is all for now.. breakpoints are such an old system and its hard for me to get reacquainted to them especially since d2 lod didnt have nearly as many variables as median xl.

thanks!

edited for clarity

1. In docs Base items displays WSM as attack speed. (+10, -20, 0, etc.)
3. Probably u selected morph. They have no difference which weapon equiped. Only WSM have effect

thank you

So what's the deal with Treewardens spawning on top of my face and one shotting me? I try to charm them which does nothing and they take no damage. I don't mind running from them but they just seem to teleport on top of me before I can even respond.

What mechanic am I missing? Thanks!
