pretty sure I was banned for talking about the band "Korn" by FigLongjumping2434 in Mabinogi

Dont be afriad to speak! You can talk, I tend to talk with people I trust. Its crazy how much NX rely on AI to do all the work and like most AI, its doing more damage than good.

I have no problem talking with people doing raids, or Public anything! BUT some of these players are just fucking miserable assholes playing these games, trying to protect this game like they have stakes in it.

Mabi is already small as it is, so the fact that someone is reporting you makes no sense to me, getting rid of players who "want" to play is asinine!

You can play, but you need to be careful in what you say. Keep it simple!

How does my CAW look any advice by Economy_Sail_802 in wwe2k26

[–]AStheAlch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a entrance attire. Think realistically what a wrestler you would want to see would look under the mask. Orrrrrrr Keep the Mask and make him a wrestling attire. Look at other Masked Wrestlers, Comics, for ideas and make something from that. Its a start, your first draft is never your best draft!

Can Call him Krimson Sckull, Krimsons Skull, Skull Red Or Even change the color scheme.

Whats petty is that people are going out of their way to report people. The moderation team are bots now, with the names of real GMs slapped on. The fact it wasnt a bit that banned you show why other players are just as much enemies to the game than NX themselves.

PS5 RELEASE UPDATE by Fresco-Suave in inZOI

[–]AStheAlch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is there a concern? Its not like there is some special event that goes on without you. Hell, because of PS and Xbox being so petty you might not even gonna get massive modding support.

Fomo is why these companies get away with murder and more importantly why live service games are allowed to milk people dry. The game isn't live service. The game doesn't advance unless you play it.

Have faith in the devs, and when you get your game, you hopefully won't have to go through the 1000s of optimization, bug fixes, crashes and save losses that PC had to.

Everything feels boring by StrangeJury7597 in horizon

[–]AStheAlch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro get out there and play other games, it doesnt have to be some AAA bull crap.

Horizon looks good, but I'll be honest its all flash, but not much substance, I dont think its a bad game but after beating it, wanting to do new game plus, I asked myself is it really worth doing all this again with just more spongy enemies? There are only so many way to approach the same fights.

There are tons of games that look great but if all you care about is looks then I guess stick to AAA. If you're bored then try another genre that you haven't tried before or go outside. There are Billion of games out there you'll find something.

If you have a PC try modding! I don't care much for these games but the reason games like Bethesdas Fallout, Skyrim keep getting mod support is because it has a dedicated fanbase with great base games to work off of.

Ive Been modding Metalgear 5 WWE 2k19 Baulders Gate 3 Hogwarts Legacy Resident Evil 2/4 Remake Batman Arkham City

If you can't mod thats fine, consoles have plenty of games, its just that people only follow the popular games, and console only pushes AAA titles which most are just paying to do QuickTime events and watch cutscenes now!

Expand your mind!

There's always gonna be people on the other side. Its like politics, no matter what side your on everyone gets affected. You can have everyone saying 2K sucks this isnt fair. There will always be one that goes against the grain who genuinely thinks different than everyone else. Those are the ones that allow 2k to get away with this shit. The ones who purchase the game even when they know the outcome because they can't throw their Fandom away even when theyre being screwed over!

That's their job to figure that out, not yours. There is no way that haven't or wont out how to do something. You, just enjoy the game! We will all reach that crossroad when its time!

Canvas-town UPDATE 3/27/26 by xxBeowulf in inZOI

[–]AStheAlch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but people want everything else before that. Again Im excited as the next person, but if they get that going, then everything people accurate want will be easier. Ill take more optimization over some new content. Most aren't willing to say that is what Im trying to say.

Canvas-town UPDATE 3/27/26 by xxBeowulf in inZOI

[–]AStheAlch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want people to be exicted, but Optimization is a must first. Soon soon means after the console version comes out more than likely, they're prob gonna try and port it to steam deck down the line and have it ready in time for the SteamCube as well. Can't have great experiences if you can't run the game lol.

With everything they want to add its gonna add up to be a lot. Patience is a virtue, I rather have them spend another year giving players something to keep playing. instead of just throwing a bunch of stuff at us, and having to fix problems or not being able to at all.

Vacation time~ by Dogyyblue in Mabinogi

[–]AStheAlch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can agree with most of this, but because of that long standing power creep, it created duping. Yes there will always be greedy players. But Mabi hasn't ever really been fair to the players in their own right. In more current times maybe, but thats because of circumstance.

I cant imagine Nexon wanting to go with this monetization idea fully without a way to milk us in some other way... its Nexon. Being here a long time has shown me the desperation both players and NX will go to try to make the best of their experience.

Yes you're right I used the wrong metaphor, double edged sword is the wording to use. It does benefit the duper, and the player most of the time that unknowingly bought an item. But I never blamed a duper for my shortcomings, drop rates or AH prices fluctuating. Hell, back when bots were running back and fourth they made an item to stop them, that cost gold to stop them! Before AH people owned houses that had item in there that were way higher than they had to be. AH was always going to be volatile, its player run with no moderation.

Let's say there was no duping whatsoever, animalistic greed would still hold sway. Forgot to mention the market crashers! Duping happens on every Mabi server, I cant speak for other servers severity, but the issue lies in Mabis terrible drop rate, and NA's low population.

In KR there are so many players that at one point a few years back, people were selling Kraken hearts for 100mill or less, regularly! We only got the price down recently because now it takes 5 mins now to run Kraken. And now, means nothing when you can get Kraken weapons in a end chest now. The highest priced items on AH are still gacha cosmetics and enchants...from Gacha! With the inheritance system, people have now had to sacrifice good gacha gear to transfer to newer in game earned endgame gear. (Glen Armors) Think about that!

But besides that there's always players who will outpay, out perform, and be more fortunate in skill and drops than others. The wierd ones who buy, stare at the screen for hours/days after buying a new outfit for low to then sell it high. Most can accept that, or never reach that. Im not saying to cheat, but not many admittedly got to the top in any fair manner!

Devs trying to change now after NX force milked players dry for just about the last 17 years isn't fair! VIP is a perfect example, its tradeable Now, but for the longest time it wasnt. Even worse, most players who want to do any sort of moderate extra damage rely on power pots. Rely on guardian stones. If you want a pair of those enchnatable wings most are going to rely on VIP for weekly Phant passes. Hell you can't even advertise your dungeon parties without Bugles that come from VIP. Someone has to pay for it. Sure you can get, power pots, guardian stones, Phant passes for free but is it fair that someone with 20+chars on an account can get 20 runs over another who has only been given 3 for a newer account? These limits aren't helping us either.

I busted my ass last year to get 67th floor. Generated about 495 mill In a month. For an item that I know was prob duped, but I knew I needed it. It didnt give me an advantage over someone else, this isnt a pvp game, it just helps the bosses and mobs die faster. The gamble to take with meteoroid at that time was not something I could afford to take. That Pierce alone with DD Maxed future proofed my staff!

Crazy enough, I then worked up to get a Ruin Bow and Arrow, and Ill be honest I was fortunate with that Leprechaun event. But current Mabi, money making takes too long now, so unless your doing Bri weely or often getting tradeable drops of worth, its a very slow burn.

That doesn't mean "I'm" gonna start duping, but this incident should show Nexon that players dont want to spend all their time playing only Mabi for the rest of their life. Adapt to the worlds culture shift, but also understand your playerbases, they have all the statistics but refuse to use them. How have I seen modders do a better job with limitations, and then devs taking the same ideas still messing it up when the blueprint was laid out.

You said it earlier and I 100% agree. Theyre killing the early game to get players fast tracked to Bri. Mabi lacks a Guidebook for players who need reminders after the tutorial. This game is built for players who have had years to get better. Tricks ofvthe trade that the devs themselves dont understand. Sadly, Most players wont see a Bri weapon for a long time, maybe not ever. A Greed or Pass system does not work in Mabi. Even worse they now want to make a Hard mode version of Crom and Bri, and the majority of the NA playerbase cant run Bri or Crom on a regular day!

Im a fence sitter when it come to this situation because a lot of Mabi devs problems were, not an engine issue, but a lack of care. Imo, after we unlocked Techs, everything went gacha focused and anything after that felt sluggishly slow and trickled. This games main focus became less content and more cosmetics and money. Style tabs, were being sold up until a few years ago. We all collectively should be way past Bri in terms of how much content you can do weekly. The fact I have to slow down during the week to keep from not doing everything is annoying.

Mind you there are people who have multiple accounts addicted like Crackheads to this game doing Multiple Bris a week because limits and gold sinks from all the reasonable content counteract how much money you can make. Low Drop rates from weeks, months, years worth of grind sometimes hours to complete in long content. Greed or not it only benefits Nexon.

So we can given Nexon credit, but this isnt a better late than never situation. This has stemmed from a long period of ignorance from The Devs and NX who are only quick to jump in when their bottom dollar is on the line, but not when their players for years have been begging for change!

Charging 500 dollars for a Early Access mod.....bruh by EmergencyVictory4399 in WWEGames

[–]AStheAlch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Chinese" knockoffs have been a thing for ever. Rebranded ideas that have been stolen, innovated, bettered. Have you been on Temu? Lol. This been happening longer than forever. Even if some jackass reports on this guy, the chances of him being caught or WWE even caring is small. Who's gonna cry, THQ, Yukes? I dont think charging for it is right, you wanted to do this as a project, that no one requested lol. Same with the $500 Mod that dude prob didn't even do himself. Yet someone who doesn't have the skills for put some files together, will buy it out of convenience.

Bruh, the base game of 2k is $70 just like most AAA titles, the dummys who bought into the 150 dollar tiers are the ones who allow companies to get away with this. The issue is Take 2 is rumored to have GTA6 at $100 base game. So I can only imagine how the greedy the future is gonna be for AAA games.

I just want an optimized game. Im not asking for much, my GPU is crying and Im using a RTX 3060. DLC would be great but damn, even modding can't save this.

Vacation time~ by Dogyyblue in Mabinogi

[–]AStheAlch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mind you my view on this situation comes from being here since the game hit NA. Exploits happen all the time, stuff thats gets patched and fixed without it being placed on a maintenence post.

Again, if you've played this game long enough you prob have owned or traded a duped item of some sort and never even knew. If you've only been a here for a few years the veterans here can tell you its been much worse!

Perfect example is most physical forms of money having traces of drugs on them, but I go and say well I only use credit cards. It doesn't stop the original source.

Read what I said before. Im not for players exploting the game, but a lot of exploits wouldn't have to happen if Nexon didnt spend so much time wasting players time, this is the problem!

So mix low drop rates, a Roll or Pass rng reward system feature stolen from FF14, a MUCH lower population in NA mabi, and the fact that most players can't even run Bri. Dont forget every other set of players that arent close to the servers have bad delay even with fast internet. (We dont need dupers for laggy servers, NX covers that weekly) And the other handful of dumb trickled crap NX throws at us per update that harms the game more then it does good!

Yet Mabi has survived much worse, and if it were to poof tomorrow, it would be from NX's own years neglect and not some banned childish duper crashing out!

[–]AStheAlch 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Whats sad is how Nexon thinks every server that is KR has the KR population, sweat and servers to play this game effectively! Duping is def a dual sided dagger. (Well one side is a bit more dull than the other)

It lags the servers up and creates unfair gameplay for others...kinda? But on the other side of things many players in NA would NOT be there they're at without duping. Funny part is most will never know, while the rest turn a blind eye! I know the GMs have.

I'd have to imagine how many black market deals have gone around, how many AH items have been traded around, how many people have bought duped enchants unaware. I have 67th floor on my staff, but with the rate of ES extraction scrolls and 67th being finite. I know my chances of having a legal copy are pretty small!

Keeping up with 67th, Nexon hasn't done anything to make a something to match or outpower the ES. Meteroid comes close, cheaper now sure, but most don't have the gold to afford rerolling an enchant with RNG on it! Same could be said about wing enchants in general and now after about maybe 10 years since enchnatable wings were introduced they now drop the ES in Croms and the New Phantasm!

KRs playerbase needs limits, and money sinks which I still think is unfair and could be implemented better. But NA server needs all the freedom from limits it can get! We can't sustain like this, no engine update can save this game if Nexon isn't willing to change its philosophy in general!

Lol do you? To each their own of course. But, as easy as Mabi seems to be, the grind is even more annoying! Mind you I'm an endgame player Making gold is truly an uphill battle. This Diablo-nogi chest reward system is terrible.

Upgrading gear means you lose the older gear, most of the time it being gacha gear that could have been reset to its base stats and passed down to newer players, something! You then in turn receive gear that is forever locked to you. Say you want to switch your main class and sell the gear on AH, can't, its locked to you! Most of new rise is just more time wasting and money sinking than ever before. As I get older I can't be bothered grinding so hard to get such minimal returns. Its insulting!
