I love Smite. I do. But as is, it is getting harder for me to play one (1) single game of Smite as a tank/support and not lose my mind. Whatever you do: zoning, CCing groups of enemies, healing, ... people kind of 'do not notice' or just ignore it. Then you die, and get called feeder or bad etc. If you build some dmg items, you get flamed for a 'shit build'; If you build purely tank items and can't finish off enemies, you get called useless.

Okay, I have my bad games, but at this point I feel like ADCs and Mages are so cocky that they think they can win without a tank? Can deaths as a support be justified if it is to setup or save a teammate? I feel like it could, but in this toxic atmos

So after playing for V and VI for a while, I wanted to get back to my first civ game and got Civ IV from the attic. I put the disk in my external disk drive and installed the game. Everything went smoothly. But now when I launch the game, it asks for permissions. Once I accept these permissions, the screen just closes and nothing happens. No game running, nothing.

I troubleshooted and let it run in Windows XP Service Pack 3, as is recommended on the box. I also checked for administrator trouble but everything seems to be in order. Lastly, I looked all around the box and disk for a code (maybe I could 'activate' it somewhere and download it like that) but found nothing. The gam

I have some more friends that would like to join, so I want to upgrade it but afraid I'll lose our progress. Also, they play Mac while we currently are all on Windows, does this matter in any way?

I'm studying Biology for a big test on the female reproductive system tomorrow, and stumbled upon this. The 'orange dots' are polar bodies, but I don't quite get their function. They randomly appear during an ovulation, and either die off or preform Meiosis II. I don't get what they are meant to do, and why you'd need multiple? You technically only 'need' your gametes for reproduction right?

Any smart people or biologists that can clear this out for me? Thanks in advance!!!!

As I am getting tired of watching the same old videos that tell me the most obvious things ever, I will write some tips/information that I personally think to be actually usefull, enjoy!

1. Deconstruct or sell?

I would advise to only deconstruct common gear in the early game. (level 1-15) When you acquire a blue or purple piece of gear however, you can sell it for 350 (blue) to 1100 (purple) drachmae to a vendor, and that is waayyy more profitable then deconstructing it. You will quickly notice tho, that later on, money comes easy and you might want to deconstruct blues and purples aswell, as you need the rare resource 'Obsidian Glass' for upgrading your gear. So think before you sell
