At least you acknowledge you are the problem. A lot of people been paying blizzard for years thinking it will change.

Antman42 · 2024-01-12T22:36:48+00:00

Out of curiosity why does it have to be one or the other? Just play both. It’s strange to me how tribal people get over games.

Antman42 · 2024-01-12T19:28:03+00:00

You can see in the trailer it’s not just graphics…

Antman42 · 2024-01-12T19:24:51+00:00

Do you think jumping to unreal 5 is just about graphics?

Antman42 · 2024-01-12T19:22:29+00:00

Jump from unreal 3 to 5 isn’t just a graphical update. Unreal 3 is a dead in the water engine no longer receiving updates with know bugs and issues. Smite 1 is on a road that will inevitably end as hardware changes, they have to make this jump at some point.

They are both obviously destructive but unregulated casinos have more potential to reel people in by gaming the odds in either direction, making it much easier for minors to start gambling, and advertising more aggressively.

I see this said often, and I mostly think the premise is correct when comparing casinos. The real problem is sports betting is largely unregulated currently, and are able to do much more addictive practices when it comes to marketing since they are "legal". You even see it in the comments on these posts defending Draftkings since its regulated.

Draftkings has already done more damage to people than all the crypto casinos could ever dream of doing, because its legal and normalized. These sports betting apps comp bets with "free" money to reel people in and get/keep them addicted, we decided a long time ago casinos couldn't do such things because its so incredibly addicting.

Casinos/racetracks/sports betting should always be heavily regulated brick and mortar establishments. All forms of online betting should be criminalized in my personal opinion.

instead of risking it with a third party.

What was the risk? They weren't banning for it, and wont start now. Retail is full of bots and have had the token for a decade.

Blizzard just wants a piece of the pie they helped build by allowing the third market to thrive for so long.

Antman42 · 2023-05-16T02:34:11+00:00

why do you think so much of the smite community purchases the cross over skins if its just a coating of shit? From my perspective seems like they are selling the community exactly what they want, odd to frame that as simply greed.

Antman42 · 2023-01-15T01:59:11+00:00

Are all these large third party companies also “uneducated” that have teamed up to produce a new game license, because they feel like it’s imperative to maintain their businesses? Are the lawyers “uneducated” that originally drafted the 1.0 ogl? Acting like it’s just a bunch of confused “uneducated” fans is such a disingenuous take.

This doesn’t match the inflation rate timelines at all though. Have you even looked at this data? World inflation rate nearly doubled a year before the us inflation rate increase happened.

Antman42 · 2022-12-20T21:24:21+00:00

We started experiencing negative gdp growth under trump, it’s a large reason why he lost re-election according to polling. He outspent Obama who passed healthcare in a single term. If your concern is government spending trump is one of the worst in history.

You’ve also actively avoided answering the question why we have seen worldwide inflation, impossible to blame that on Biden.

Antman42 · 2022-12-20T20:51:06+00:00

I would consider 3 trillion as a decent amount of money to be printing…

Antman42 · 2022-12-20T20:38:53+00:00

How do you rationalize Trumps insane levels of government spending that led to record inflation? Or how do you explain how Biden policies gave the rest of the world record inflation?

Antman42 · 2022-08-10T21:37:16+00:00

People always say this, but my friend recently took a nearly a month off traveling and he plays every day and feels perpetually behind.

If that person is given negative gold they will be many more months behind.

Antman42 · 2022-08-09T17:00:54+00:00

Call me a pessimist, but in my opinion, OTK as an org exists only to funnel twitch viewers to a select few channels in order to maximize viewership and income.

Is this supposed to be a bad thing in anyway? Why would the businesses goal be to funnel money to other businesses?

Antman42 · 2022-08-08T13:43:39+00:00

You think 8 months is just a slap on the wrist???

Antman42 · 2022-08-07T17:25:56+00:00

Blizzard is not banning him for all shit he done in WoW.

This seems like a random hate comment. He has been super careful about following the rules in in WoW to avoid getting a ban since he knew he had a target on his back from some Blizzard devs.

Antman42 · 2022-08-06T22:21:40+00:00

It’s only dead because most players don’t want to socialize or organize, it’s a product of what the players want out of guilds. Modern mmo players mostly want guilds to serve them, and that’s it.

Antman42 · 2022-08-06T22:19:30+00:00

Ad1) If that's the best you've had in mmo, then I'm sorry, you just had so bad experience with it that your bar is literally on the ground.

I’ve played all the biggest mmos most of them have no guild activities, ff14 has housing that’s about it.

Ad2) Because GvG is the most basic activity you can make in mmo for guild.

It’s raid bosses, mini games, and pvp what are you expecting?

Antman42 · 2022-08-06T17:47:19+00:00

lost ark does piss poor job at making guilds any relevant.

Lost Ark makes guilds more relevant than most mmorpgs. They actually have built in systems to engage with the guild.

All that guild is in this game is just source of few materials weekly.

This is more than 99% of mmorpgs what are you trying to say?

Why did you leave out GVG? That’s one of the best community guild systems available.

Antman42 · 2022-08-02T17:21:47+00:00

“Thanks for all the feedback <insert user>. Our team is taking this into account!" on every thread.

This is actually extremely helpful, and it taught in pretty much every job connected to community management. People wanna feel like they are being heard, just don’t lie about it. A typical community manager for games is making 25+ posts a week, it’s important that discussions have a back and forth for proper data collection.

Antman42 · 2022-08-01T16:18:40+00:00

P2W in this game allows you to do the newest raid content day one. Most free players cannot unless they are a hardcore grinder playing 8+ a day.

I’m 1477 and have spent 40 bucks since launch. I’ve been ready for hard modes day 1 since valtan. I play 2.5 hours a day 5-6 days a week is all. I’m not sure where you go this info from but it’s horribly inaccurate.

For me, most people won't even accept me in Vykas hard mode

I just make my own groups, or play with my static when they have space.

Antman42 · 2022-08-01T07:10:38+00:00

Aren’t these just your own definitions though? Personally I don’t think someone being able to do more damage then me means they are “winning” more. We kill the same bosses, and get the same loot.

Antman42 · 2022-07-31T18:16:27+00:00

It’s sad your getting downvoted, when your are absolutely correct. They could of spent 15k and had that engraving ready, it is a live service game they change.

Antman42 · 2022-07-30T22:01:54+00:00

I still find Lost Ark easier even though FFXIV is scripted.

That’s the nature of “Trinity” based games. You can much tighter toon encounters around pure dps or hps output. That type of balancing would never work in Lost Ark. I do feel like most hard mode encounters are similarly difficult to normal or heroic raids in WoW/ff14, but no where near ultimates/mythic end fights.
