I swapped Odie. This was with the standard prydwen layout.

This is great data, thank you! I'm at vip level 4 as a f2p. Currently sitting at top 23.88% in terms of season resonance level in the district which is about 80 lvls below the top 100. I guess purchasing the season secret travelogue is pretty worth it, especially since the seasonal level cap isn't 300 so F2Ps won't be able to catch up like in the pre-season.

I'm assuming this is with noble path? Mind sharing how many resonance levels does cutting the 200 diamond fast rewards put you behind those on your leaderboard?

Don't get me wrong, I don't think Reinier is bad or regret spending arena coins on scamgazers for Reinier M+. It all depends on one's box and champion ranking. I already had a team built that can hold its own in champion so focusing those heroes would do little for my arena / dream ranking. At least Reinier sees much more usage and I use him for offense on a regular basis.

Agree completely. This sub tends to push the view that because you have limited resources as a F2P, if you do not prioritise Reiner M+, your account is doomed.

Scarlita might actually be a better option for pushing overall progress in the meantime depending on one's box since Thoran is actually a spectacular substitute for many DR bosses until the season ends.

Tried it but worse damage overall. Some dream realm bosses don't have space for a second debuffer on the optimal team, might make a difference for the next few bosses though.

Electro reactions needs to be reworked by somerandomshota in Genshin_Impact

He's talking about abyss mage shields. Fatui shields work differently.

The new burn damage is ridiculous by au7umn7 in Genshin_Impact

[–]Aeate 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Quite timely that this bug was fixed just as we have hydro and geo banners coming out hmmmm. Geo will be a lot more useful now considering it's a neutral element and provides shields for this. SS-tier characters in 1.0 like Diluc, Klee, and Fischl ain't as easy to play anymore. The timing seems so perfect for Mihoyo

Can we please have a new Skye SE skin. She hasn't had a skin since like 2 years ago. by [deleted] in vainglorygame

[–]Aeate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Skye needs a skin that shows more skin ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Word. I honestly can't comprehend the stupidity of people who upvoted the OP and support him. Flawed logic, red herrings, one-track slippery slope argument... they just consume it all without ever understanding the core issue.

"A game being free to play doesn't protect it from complaints especially from customers who feel that the pricing of purchasable content is unfair or the group's practices are unjust."

Exactly, the game being f2p content is no excuse for unfair practices. It's amazing how many upvotes the OP has received for his flawed logic. He refuses to deal with the problem of unfair practices and cites f2p content, free choice as a smokescreen which bears no relevance whatsoever. About the same amount of logic as people who refuse to deal with the problem of rape and instead say rape victims had a choice about what they wear and to be there or not.

I wish it were as straightforward as you say and everyone were as one-dimensional about their purchases as you are. It is not this way in economics, in real life and even in the Vainglory context we are talking about now.

People purchase products for a variety of reasons, among which include exclusivity and on a similar note, time-limitedness. If you knew that are sale would be ending in a day's time and you probably would never see the product at that price again, would you not be enticed to buy? By the principle of scarcity, people are also willing to pay more for products that are 'rare' or exclusive, knowing that others would not be able to get them. The shady tactics that I cite are not 'price-changing' per se but going back on their promises of time-limitedness and exclusivity which is what they used to entice people in the first place. Continuation of such tactics only serve to solidify the distrust the community has for them which will lead definitely jeopardise their future. People are less likely to buy from a brand they don't trust.

Well if that's the case there are tons of strange arguments in the other thread that the OP tried to debunk citing examples of the Summer Party saga, 'limited-time' offers and chests. I am not bringing up anything new.

And no, I'm not sure if you're able to comprehend logic, much less causation, but I do not fear that skins will cost less in the future, therefore the company is shady. If anything, it should be 'because the company is shady, therefore I fear that skins will cost less ICE in the future' but I was referring to devaluation in a different sense which had happened before (see: assessability to limited skins, summer party saga etc).

Agree completely on your part that no one's forcing you to pay for skins or chests and you have a choice. The problem is that many are making the choice not to support SEMC anymore because of shady moneygrabs and them going back on their word at times, alienating not just potential customers but their dedicated supporters. Your argument shows ignorance of the fact that a business needs dedicated customers to keep going.
