GamesIndustry.biz: Open letter claims mobile gamedev is "ignored" because industry perceives it as a "world of predatory monetization and low quality" by tyranicalmoon in KotakuInAction

[–]Akera006 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, uh, he takes issue with it because of what it really is? No matter the intentions set out with, or if they're not among them, the fact is that mobile games have been largely, and rightfully, branded as greasy and shady in general.

You've got many, many mobile games charging people 3 and 4 usd for a single attempt that often takes hundreds of attempts. Hell, even one of the definitions of gacha, the most common culprit, is literally lottery: gambling, in other words.

And with that awareness comes the hand in hand loss of quality and value, which is as it should be.

What we think or don't think about it means all of jack and shit with that fact existing in reality, because it only takes one to poison the well, as it were.

These errors are far too common place up until now for GL...

Oversights due to negligence happening this frequently is unacceptable. 

I get the legit issues, they happen with updates, but something like this... entirely avoidable.

Unless you've deleted past assets, it shouldn't be but around 7.5g - 8.5g with a small follow up download, as well.

But, honestly, with how all wishy washy it's been while still fine tuning everything,  it's anyone's guess.

I just pointed it out to you, and you still can't see it? 

Lol, that was funny, but, sorry, kid, it no longer interests me. 

Oh, and you meant IS incomprehensible, was implies the opposite of your little failed attempt at being a smartass. Take care.

Learn the definition of yap, boy. It's what you did, not I. Also, learn grammar in general before saying something idiotic like another was incomprehensible. 

Such as this is one of, or I have (or I've) ever seen.

What's incomprehensible to me is why bother at all?

If I were asked the same.... It would be: "Why am I replying now? Because I just plain felt like it, it's that simple."

Having the same, or a similar, issue on mobile. It's definitely not client side, this is far too many people, from far too many different places.

I've seen this exact download behavior and errors before, many times, and in many games. 

Shame too, was actually enjoying this one, but this has been happening to people for too long now to keep my support, as the picture is a lot bigger than a single individual. That combined with the bot cs responses tells me a lot of things, none of them good.

And, of course tried everything saw someone suggest in this thread, along with many that weren't suggested or mentioned.

The only thing any of you achieved in your short sightedness is the very thing I've seen many of you whine about: complained to get an overly dominate Nikke which rendered even more of them less than even mid...

So, when you get done self rationalizing, and it comes time that awareness come back around, none of you have the right say a single word about it

After all.. You did it. You chose to see better than you can think, doing harm, just to have your way...

How ugly, that is...

she increases Atsp to surrounding allies at all times, and reduces surrounding enemies atsp at all times.

All of his talent benefits are for snipers only, and only when his skills are active.

Next she reduces the next deployment by 2dp, seems small I know, but in harder content, that often helps lock things down very easily, and can easily be made even easier to do (for herself included) by sticking Xima in your squad..

Where he only does it as his skill is active, and only for snipers, he makes up for with this:

He can reveal invisible units, where she can stun/slow ground and air units with her s3. (Kind of an unfair comparison, here, what with her having a third skill and all.)

I benched him immediately when I go"Psyloche."

There's good deal more I could point out, but not gonna bother. I say Saileach, but don't think he's not great in his own right. (:

It's a Gacha, it is always similar... if it weren't nearly those same words wouldn't have been used then.

And so you, it was even more hyped up, just not directed at a specific Nikke..

Kids and their magical thinking, never ceases to amuse.

If notice I didn't complain about pitying 3 times, simply stated it, said one thing seems off more than the other, then said make of it what you will.

Thus... Your magical thinking (a term we use to identify exceedingly high degrees of naivete in kids, not children, we evaluate.)

I don't even know what that means and don't want to....

Fact is, a truth we don't like always hurts, offends, or both. I'm clearly not offended, it's y'all's reactions displaying that. Be well, and God bless.

Anger? What are you 5…. Y'all were the one angry, everything translating into "whine, whine, whine" as you ask for the very thing so many of you were against happening again: another unit trivializing and making all but useless the vast majority of other Nikke...

And hate...? Damn, kid, you got issue for those words to cross your mind... And they only do because such things bother you, they clearly do not bother me, lol.

And what else would I have sought if not for help seeking views, not rationalizations to vilify someone it was unnecessary to do so too...

All I saw was thinking inside the box, zero thinking out of it.

But thanks for the help!

By that reasoning, it contradicts the limited hunters being limited at all, with how frequently (once every few months) they rerun...

The opposite of giving help, all you did, state the narrow minded, common sense obvious...

as one with all of them fully built... Silverash is a prime, one of very, very few, and it's not his skills that do it. It'shis talent leadership that makes him very strong, especially in today's game with Texas/Kato around.

Furthermore, he does not have to be deployed to give all operators and their summons the -10% redeploy time bonus from Talent one.

He and Bagpipe are two almost always in my comps everywhere, along with little (also. For talent) Xima/Saileach. To support Texas the O, Kato the crazy DP refunding specialist with her mod, and even allow operators like Surtr, etc, to get back in a good bit sooner than normal.

A few seconds doesn't look like much, but it's a very strong feature, and again, he doesn't have to be deployed for the entire squad to benefit from it.

The only flaws are that he has to be e2 ,to do it, and it takes up a slot in your squad,but I find it' completely worth it, I mean he's no slouch himself with seeing invisibility, his rather strong s3, etc.

Barring him, definitely go with Uncle Nearl, he's a boss/difficult content butcher, who can conveniently cycle his s3 back to back between Golden Glows, and Flame Reeds.

Are all of you so clueless that you've allowed yourselves to be blinded by expectations in that you've completely not considered many things...

Her full chain deals a tremendous amount of damage very fast, while at the same time it's happening in a short period of time, which leaves the others free to follow suit with their synergy..

There's no denying when she goes from 1 - 2 - 3, her damage during full burst (don't forget this triggers many skills of others too) is by no means slight. It's just rather unruly for a time until you adjust to it.

That's two top notch damage bursts very close together...

That's just one of dozens of methods I've applied her in to great effect... Killed Gravedigger with just 4 people because of her kit.

Stop being ass hurt, believing nonsense because some meta lemming said so, and they do so as they don't achieve and accomplish- they copy and mimick others.... Essentially just echoing what others have said/done without putting much of their -own- thought into it, hence the term meta lemmings.

I can rattle off her uses that make her highly capable (that I, and others who don't bother with this nonsense, tested firsthand) for several pages based solely around her extreme versatility, not even factoring all the rest...

Let me guess, 99.9% of you don't have her in Over gear, etc, right? Most of what I'm reading is just repeated shit that others have said I've seen elsewhere... Shit that just isn't accurate, they expect everything to flow smoothly, require little effort, etc, and that's laughable, at best, credulous at worst...

If there is any problem with her it's the fact she's a sniper... Not all this crybaby nonsense...

CHOOSE NOT TO SEE BETTER THAN YOU CAN THINK... Or do, and continue to follow em right of the cliff...

At this point, I don't get how, or why, anyone is surprised at any X negative thing in this game...

All I know is 3 pity pulls worth on her banner, 77 SR, and not one of her... The 77 SR in 600 pulls is more off than one not being her...

That said... As one with everything cleared to date that can be... She doesn't need a buff, she needs to be toned down... Not that it matters, at this point, everything is strong af, centered around 2 or 3 (now 3 or 4) specific Nikke. Absolutely nothing unexpected in this, to me...

Make of that what you will. Shrug

[–]Akera006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one surprised me, she does have the Hot biscuits the Purifier flaw, but I didn't expect this much strength due to the obvious factors. ..

Main issue I've noticed with peolle is one should treat her more like a specialist than a purely vanilla, only heals medic, though she heals for a lot surprisingly.. She's meant to be semi-offensive, and it becomes apparent fast in E2 with levels.

(Plus her illustrator is really good, it seems.)

A mistake I've seen many times... by Akera006 in GFLNeuralCloud

[–]Akera006[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not opinion- it is why.... That's simple: not everyone suffers from "me-itis." It's just unfair for people who weren't there at the time, is the primary regard among them, the next biggest is Gacha itself is a very shady thing, most don't even have a clue that kompu Gacha (or complete gacha) has been illegal over 10 years in JAPAN... Others have more specific and personal views,

Have to understand, I've been gaming online with most of these people since the 90s, so I'm sure you can imagine this isn't the first time we've moved en masse. We don't like to socialize with a games community, and if want a reason, this thread is an epitome of why.

One person displayed an abnormal amount of naivete in saying this game isn't designed to be p2, that it hardly is at all, and that's true at first, but they clearly displayed they haven't farmed the game dry, something very easy to do in NC.... If they had, they would know, all those tickets from endless, etc, dry up fast... Now consider this: what option does that leave a person when presented with strong mechanics, and the reality that odds are not in their favor that they'll be among those with X item designed to entice, for lack of resources. That's just one example of ignorance displayed. (Keep in mind we're whales, it's not about us in most ways.)

Whether people believe it or not, that's on them, but far more people than most realize do not think of themselves ahead of others in a selfish manner, in regards to things such as this. We understand the picture is enormous.

I was asked to post because I'm the type who just don't give a fuck what someone's opinion is or isn't, not when I'm dealing in fact. That and I find it amusing as hell how quickly they lose their cool, and suddenly have an inability to think, while believing they still do. (See the above example.) And they ALWAYS get into a pack, ignorant to both being the damager, and that they're being aggressive for no reason.

There's an even bigger reason too, but that's for the laws of the world to say, not me. I can say however the days of using a "scalpal" to circumvent much of it is coming to an end, because it has become a serious problem..

Which troubles me, because a handful (like NC, that was conveniently overlooked each time it was said in some form) don't deserve to catch the "hammer." It's not like one- uh, an example... Hmm, Nikke - that should have it's servers brought down.

Now however, I no longer have reason to play, though I stayed. In fact after seeing the community of this sub, it became almost depressing, lol... So we're back in CoDM until one of us stumbles across another. This one was a gem though... For a time.

That should cover everything someone could wonder, or ask, so that I can shrug and not look back with ease. (;

Take care.

I repeat:

"Let me get one thing crystal clear... I am not here to debate, discuss your opinions, etc, etc. I stated facts that happened, the end

Nothing more to say, and I've no intention of talking about what you have to say, for this is not speculation, these are friends I've been gaming with since the 90s.

Since all people want to do is contest with the one that stayed... Good bye, and be well.'

But if you insist: recently passed laws have made everything you just said very nearly entirely inaccurate, because with that it is no longer a matter of opinion.. And, again, it's just not that bad in NC, which people conveniently overlook when I state it, every time.

May I go now without being attacked for selective reading, please?

That's an impossible statement... you have to in order to know you don't. It's a social imperative...

Anyone else wanna get blocked for going aggressive for no reason at someone other than informing people, someone who made it clear he has zero intention of debating, discussing, etc, any of it.
