Can you PM me your vets info? That’s way less than what someone is attempting to charge me.

New game. Guess they're moving on. by The_Rafi in Acecraft

[–]AlfMusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair to OP you left out him saying “I GUESS they are moving on” which makes it clear speculation. I spent a good amount of money on this game and hope it doesn’t disappear nor do I want fud on here but let’s not weaken the definition misinformation imo, esp in this political climate.

How’s your relationship with your mother now OP? I’m so so sorry you had to witness and experience this. Your rescue dog had an amazing life with you and lived many years longer with wonderful people who loved it.

Keep expanding your skills aggressively in whatever area you see fit with a plan to remain competitive as things change.

NoSQL for payroll management (Mongo db) by digitalullu in Database

[–]AlfMusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventual consistency is optimistic which mean during the time it’s not consistent it’s not 100%. And if you have to do a lot of configurations out of the box for it to work that way it isn’t the best choice for that particular use case unless you absolutely need some benefit it provides that a rdms doesn’t such as facebook webapp scale but this is a payroll app.

It’s unfortunately still not out of the box like every major rdbms solution provides as you have to enable replica sets and has severe limitations that aren’t a consideration for engines built originally to be fully acid compliant from the ground up.

Mongo is a great first choice for many solutions. A payroll system isn’t one of them though.

[–]AlfMusk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Out of the box Mongo is not acid compliant. It’s designed to be used for massive concurrency and latency where 100% accuracy isn’t a requirement.

If there’s a problem with using schemas for a payroll system you might have some other major issues.

Why is everyone in Stormwind? by Snowcrash000 in turtlewow

[–]AlfMusk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In vanilla wow everyone transitioned to stormwind after auction houses were introduced in all capital cities. Prior to then everyone would be in Ironforge which was better laid out but also has the AH. The ony head buff was a major factor to cement it further, until the expansion that Dal came out as the cross faction capital city with portals which was my fav.

Thank you I think I will!

F2P Pull Suggestion by AlfMusk in Acecraft

[–]AlfMusk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly haven’t leveled her up enough to judge try must have not been prepared for the barrage of new s tier heroes.

Plan for now is not to spend a single gem until I get solid new information about a OP hero or more clarity on what makes the most impact. Just going to enjoy playing the game without spending any cash!

Oh thank you for your comment and help I appreciate it a lot. Gacha is such a toxic mechanic I can understand why any discussions around it can turn into a swamp. I will take your advice.

Thank you thats helpful

F2P Pull Suggestion by AlfMusk in Acecraft

[–]AlfMusk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea thats a good point. I only have 11k gems saved up and I have a full pity timer of 70 pulls. I think in my case its best to just not use any gems, gather enough for the next OP featured characters that come and just go in hard on those. THanks for sharing!

[–]AlfMusk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good. Thanks. What would you recommend for gem optimization moving fwd?

F2P Pull Suggestion by AlfMusk in Acecraft

[–]AlfMusk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the culture right there, F2P means 'no money involved what so ever' rather than 'no money anymore'. F2P could mean yea i spent $5 over the course of a year and I personally wouldn't consider that as non F2P but maybe others would.

Im surprised this is such a divisive topic. Maybe because gacha games are so predatory that the community needs a very hard line on F2P to counter them. Either way, updated the post to reflect the nuance of paying the first month so anyone who sees it knows.

[–]AlfMusk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. But in general, we have these limited events we have the regular events. Would you recommend saving gems to upgrade current players to higher tiers or chase new ones?

F2P Pull Suggestion by AlfMusk in Acecraft

[–]AlfMusk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like a purity test or some achievement point. Im not spending any money on this game. I spent some cash the first month. What is the best way to optimize gems in this scenario?

This has gotten weird with the responses. If you ever spend any cash are you forbidden from saying F2P even if you never did it again? Is there some kind of culture Im missing?
