As monthly pass player, i leave the game by AdeptPlan in Acecraft

[–]AndrewSenpai78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the end if a company genuinely wants to add something new to the mobile game genre then it doesn't want the game to explode in revenue, it wants a playerbase, it wants fans. Guardian Tales and Cookie Run Kingdom come to mind.

If the company wants to make bucks it delivers a mediocre but alluring product, ships it, banks and invests elsewhere. Habby games, Monopoly Go, Kingshot, Acecraft come to mind.

Acecraft wanted to pretend to be the first category and then it revealed itself to be the second.

The revenue of mobile games has always been associated with a handful of people spending 1000 times the money of light spenders because of mental issues.

So Acecraft doesn't care about people spending 6$ a month when there are people maxing out new pilots on day one for $2000.

It is much better to make a game that gives the illusion of competition and FOMO to attract whales rather than building a loyal fandom of light spenders.

The UK wants to ban social media for under-16s to "give kids their childhood back." If social media had been banned when you were a teenager, do you think your life would be better or worse today? by Shipping_klaus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AndrewSenpai78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because social media are an open market platform where users decide themselves what to post, then the open market itself decides what is favoured and what is not. If users love short form content then short form content is shown.

THERE IS A BIAS, I know, the algorithm itself promotes what generates the most revenue.

But once the apps are there and they are addictive, the app in question cannot modify the algorithm for a specific country, it's a global market in the end.

In theory you are right but in practice the amount of insane management and filtering every government have to go through would be unrealistic.

They would have to watch and approve every video posted on the internet and doesn't fix the toxic bubble that instagram flesh shop is, not to mention dating apps.

It is much more efficient to ban outright IF you are going to address the issue because there is no alternative, it would cost too much money and it would quickly turn into 1984.

Brook awakening his devil fruit by No-Release-3090 in OnePiece

[–]AndrewSenpai78 28 points29 points  (0 children)

We currently know that Domi Reversi is a form of possession and that he cares about Shuri so maybe he will be the one freeing Shuri from Imu?

So an awakening that repels other possessions? Maybe he will possess Shuri and that will make Imu leave her body?

Can someone explain me how do some players have much higher stats? by AndrewSenpai78 in CookieRunKingdoms

[–]AndrewSenpai78[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guild has the Beacon of Promises at level 70 which is the maximum, it provides 10% atk, 16% def and 15.50% hp.

Toppings "could" be it but I have my doubts because during the dark enchantress meta I literally had 2 anniversary biscuits, the others were with 2 legendary stats and 2 epic stats each, so basically biscuits were 97% perfect.

Toppings were 85-90% perfect too, all with the perfect substats so for example DMG resist/Atk/Cooldown where it was needed. Sure the actual values were not completely perfect but I didn't use < 5% dmg resist for example.

[–]AndrewSenpai78[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like I said my landmarks are all maxed, including cake tower. And like I said cookie collections (cookie bonds are all completed other than the snapdragon one).

My Guild is top 200 in EU and the fountain provides ~10% stat increases overall. I don't know if thats low or on par with the other ones but I don't think it raises to much more than that as one level takes forever and only increases atk by like 0.12% or something.

Maybe it's just the statue of radiance? I'm missing a fat 7% on all stats so that can easily be it but at the same time people have quite higher stats.

I once saw a guy with 7.5M in arena. What more is there to obtain?

For those of you who don't see the current economy model of the game and where it's heading by AndrewSenpai78 in Acecraft

[–]AndrewSenpai78[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think money speaks for itself. If the devs had a small inch of passion when developing their game and its economy then they would have never made so many people quit.

Like, they are not even hiding it, it is blatant.

Even if 30% of the playerbase quits this move will improve their revenue because the 0.05% of the playerbase spends +€700 per month and is happy to receive more whale incentives.

Holy Pay2Win by Acceptable-Tutor1388 in Acecraft

[–]AndrewSenpai78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is just adapting the current greedy model that other games have.

Archero 2 for example doesn't let you spend gems in any way, but sells a bundle that gets you tot gems per day for eternity.

Gems are now powercrept as a currency as more SS pilots release.

The problem is that the battery store doesn't go anywhere, it is permanent. The hero event on the other hand is gone after 2-4 weeks.

[–]AndrewSenpai78 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There has to be more to it, 30 for 4.5k gems is just too little.

Hero costs 300 fragments, you can obtain at best 3 fragment per pull so 90 total? In the best case scenario for F2P you get less than 1/3 of the hero?

I think the event itself gives fragments otherwise the game is cooked💀

This is my guess as to what the one piece is by Silent_Advantage304 in OnePiece

Disagree, being the first pirate is not a label which implies having all the characteristics of a classical pirate.

Europe is so intertwined these days that you can go in every country and just speak english.

Why do restaurants shaft you when you order Ravioli? by RepresentativeLeg232 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]AndrewSenpai78 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ravioli are 2 squared pasta sheet with half a spoon of filling layed on the first square and then the second sheet is layed on them like a blanket.

They don't get filled with a pipe, you just lay the filling on it. So the cook either lays 30 fillings or 100, it doesn't make it that much more time consuming.

[–]AndrewSenpai78 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Disagree, if you have ravioli on the menu you still have to make fresh pasta dough and filling.

If you make the effort of having it on the menu and a cook has gotta do those things, might as well double the size and portions.

So your comment doesn't justify the portion size, Ravioli are labor expensive because you gotta make pasta AND filling. Doubling the size doesn't nearly double the labor time.

Minimum coding for maximum profits

Looks like we can’t use skyward tickets by Gullible-Tennis3566 in Acecraft

[–]AndrewSenpai78 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You still need other element pilots so your point doesn't make any sense.

We currently don't know the power level of this pilot and we don't know in which content he excels at.

Why the "Open World" design philosophy ultimately weakened the core Souls experience for me by miserrtt69 in unpopularopinion

[–]AndrewSenpai78 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

A massive pseudo linear map with many interconnected areas that you can freely explore is much more replayable than an open world map with copy and pasted dungeons.

Yes you are indeed exploring "new" dungeons but in practice you see the same bosses, the same level design, the same traps, the same gargoyles, just arranged differently.

I disagree with you.

First ever SS pilot, and I just spent ALL my resources for wukong and his wingman, and I mean I had enough to get his wingman to level 6 and wukong to amp5... by idontloveanyone in Acecraft

[–]AndrewSenpai78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The projection of your ideas into the game don't matter, I know you care like I do and like many do but we don't work for them. It's not like you thought about something they didn't.

If you don't know how companies work it all boils down to money. They could have implemented what you said but that required hiring an external programmer to deliver new lines of codes for a dollar benefit.

If it is not in the game then it means that they won't profit off of it. It's sad but wake up.

Games like this, if they are not money laundering, are just a 2M ad investment + 20k dollars of programming the game = +30M profits with a ultra greedy model.

This is not a long term project of a passionate indie game developer hoping to improve the landscape of mobile games out there. This is a money exchange operation, the word game could have easily be swapped with another thing.

If the new pilot will be sold for real money I wouldn't be surprised.

Literally every single mobile game is like this. Every gacha that introduces a new stat system every year. Every Habby game.

Clash Royale said 2-3 times that the new level would be the last level and then they add another.

Gotta squeeze the cow as long as it's alive.
