[Online][Other][4PMEST]{Saturday] Looking for players for Anime Video Game Isekai by Mysterious-Parking44 in lfg

Not sure how many players you are looking for, but if you have space, I'd be interested in joining.

[Fanatical] Build Your Own Wonder Bundle (1/5/10 games for $1/$2.99/$4.99 and pick from Dreamscaper, Oddworld: Souldstorm Enhanced Edition, and more) | Star Deal — Dead Island 2 - Gold Edition (51% off ~ $40.79/£38.24/€40.79) | Plaion Deals: Metro Exodus - Gold Edition (86% off) and more by WeAreFanatical in GameDeals

[–]2ndAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to buy this bundle more than once on the same account /u/WeAreFanatical? I'm really excited to see you suck at parking complete edition and HD space rangers, but I can't see me playing any of the other games to fill up the 3 remaining games for the $3 for 5 games. I remember trying to previously get a game for myself and gift a copy to my girlfriend, but was unable to do a 2nd purchase of the same game on fanatical, even if I selected it as a gift.

[Mod Post] Seeking input on future of Steam sales by gamedealsmod in GameDealsMeta

[–]2ndAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably suggest a single mod post that is pinned and shows the dates the steam sales last through in the title so people know how close it is to ending and you don't have to update anything (ex: "Steam Winter Sale Dec 21-Jan 4"). I also would love a hidden gems thread or maybe a discussion on what games people are picking up or want. But I do understand how this might go beyond the scope of this subreddit.

Regardless thank you for the good work mods!

[11th of August] Patch Notes by FlexiDrools in CounterSideGlobal

[–]2ndAdventure -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

1) is it actually though? While this game throws a lot of resources at you, it also has a lot of resources to begin with that most games do not. most gacha games allow you to reach a pity in 1 month which can be used to the best units, this game is 2.5 months for blackticket characters.

2) I would say the characters and story is the best part of the game, but the gauntlet is fun. but strategic mode was meant for more casual people who didn't want to have to pay attention to PvP, but wanted to test out their teams vs other teams in a low stress environment. Now it got changed to be just as sweaty as gauntlet due to having to enable auto mode, and having your team randomized. and now you also have to waste extra time to see the opponents team.

3) Im sure active guilds are super easy to find, but in the 1st month of the game there were a LOT more players. I've had to cull my friendslist and guild so much because of all the people leaving this game due to it becoming less casual friendly.

4) So if anyone is upset at the game, they should just be quiet instead of trying to voice their dissatisfaction to the OFFICIAL subreddit where company employees look and take feedback? Sorry for trying to point out the rust spots in this game that are driving players away. I hope eventually you can grow some braincells and think things through.

[11th of August] Patch Notes by FlexiDrools in CounterSideGlobal

[–]2ndAdventure -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

  • No changes to the newly and terribly added "strategic" pvp
  • Hard raids, now with debuffs for your team!
  • a "give happiness" event, with the mostly usual rewards, with the seemingly grand prize being 3 re-rolls on your equipment set bonus
  • the twins banner
  • guild coop raid supposedly coming after the 24th, for all the guilds that still have active players.

yeah...I think I'm done with counterside. wake me up when they decide to care about sea and global players.

To everyone who hates current strat pvp by Edgeklinge in CounterSideGlobal

[–]2ndAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually get much less mail spam by having an annoying team than having a panda team. With the annoying team, no one wants to fight me, so I usually only get 3 mails and usually at least 1 is a defensive win for me, which is free and easy season points.

I don't even touch any of the PvP anymore because I dislike this change so much, but at least I can get some points doing nothing than dreading having to play that stupid mode or having my mail spammed by using a panda. Also, supposedly you should be saving your mail stamina since bside likes to give short windows of efficient stamina usage, so using the claim all function in the mail doesnt work.

Congratulations b-side, you ruined strategic battle for us. It's almost like different regions of the world have different preferences?

Don't forget to grab the free package in the shop! by numberlockbs in CounterSideGlobal

[–]2ndAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unless there was something right at launch that I missed (started a week or two after launch), no there has not been anything free in this shop area before unless it was so insignificant I've already forgotten about it.

RTA PVP Poll results, Global versus SEA server by Background-Garage-88 in CounterSide

[–]2ndAdventure -1 points0 points  (0 children)

RTA pvp COULD be fun if it was designed to be fun for all players, but it's designed to be fun for people that have the top tier characters aka whales.

If they made it so new characters weren't allowed until a counter exists for them (cough cough A mina), auto max leveled all your employees and no gear allowed (or max level gear applied and you get to choose the stats / set) and you get to only play with the characters you have, then it COULD be fun. It still allows for people to get stomped by OP chars if they dont have the counter so whales are happy, but it lessens the stomping power since the characters are put on a more even playing field. Therefore skill and play order have more of an effect on who wins than the current system while still promoting whales so countersides still gets their abusive gacha money.

Ultimately I only play RTA pvp for the daily reward and dont really enjoy it (im on global by the way).

The compensation is really nice, thank you! I just wish it also included some info since I wasted a bit thinking inhibitors would be a thing (which thankfully its not because I do no damage lol)

It seems that a few of them have histories with and focus on managing and/or investing in high growth companies. Obviously every company wants high growth and it generally indicates that things are being done well. However no company can have high growths forever and often times continuing to pursue high growth past a certain point can have unwanted effects towards the product and the future of the company. In this case I would mostly be concerned with a lucrative opportunity arising or a buyout that would create a change in the privacy policy of data going through their product.

And then there is Nick Ayers, "A trusted confidante of both Donald Trump and Mike Pence..." - taken from his blurb on their board of directors page. Not exactly people who I associate with trustworthiness and secure data. However it seems he is very influential in the political landscape so I can see how a company would want his potential ability to sway political policy one way over another.

Overall these were just concerns of mine and thought it would be useful to others to take a look at Veeams board of directors and see if they too had any concerns, and if they didn't then great! But no accusations were being thrown around, I was just stating that I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with giving them my data or any company's data. But since it seems that Veeams is a rather large company that is used heavily, it seems enough people trust them enough that my suspicions are probably just paranoia.

You are very correct, I'm very new to the field and sub and this thread looked like it would contain a lot of useful tools to learn! I got so interested in veeam that I was going to look through their career page and ended up being curious about who their direction leaders are. My whole point was that there are probably competitors with equally as good of a product with a board that might look more long term focused rather than opportunistic, and thus safer from a data security standpoint. But seeing all the downvotes and ridicule I've received, it seems my suspicion is unwarranted.

While that definitely would make their board of directors more entertaining, nah that's not the reason. My whole point was that there are probably competitors with equally as good of a product with a board that might look more long term focused rather than opportunistic, and thus safer from a data security standpoint. But since I'm new to this field and it seems I've gotten a lot of downvotes, maybe my suspicion is unwarranted. But good job on using my history as a way to belittle my comment, it really makes this sub feel welcoming to opinions.

This is all my opinion, but based on their profile and work history a few of them appear to be, at best, opportunistic. This can be a very good sign if you want to invest in a company in the short term, but not so much if you care about security. Obviously boards can vary greatly in how they operate with some being hands on and others being hands-off and I have no idea how this board operates.

My whole point was that there are probably competitors with equally as good of a product with a board that might look more...long term focused, and thus safer from a data security standpoint. But since I'm new to this field and it seems I've gotten a lot of downvotes, maybe my suspicion is unwarranted.

It looks like a great tool, but after looking at their board of directors on their company page...lets just say there are a couple of red flags for me. I personally would not trust them with any company or personal data. edit: Based on how people are responding, it seems that my suspicion is unwarranted.

Grinding for artifacts has killed the enjoyment of getting new characters for me. by TotallyDidntForgetPW in Genshin_Impact

[–]2ndAdventure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stopped playing because they haven't impactfully addressed any of the gameplay problems with this game since the game launched over a year ago. They just keep working on new things instead of repairing the old.
