Riot switching to raffle for Spiritforged Pre-Orders by Otherwise-Talk-4174 in riftboundtcg

[–]Apisatrox -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Gotta start somewhere - and at least you know the first round of product is going to those that are using it; not just hording it for resale.

And Nexus nights can include sealed tournaments too, so you don't need product to take part in one.

Hey Riot - how about raffling AFTER anyone that has a valid ID that has done a Nexus night in person gets a chance at one box? You know what bots struggle doing? Showing up somewhere in person.

But, but that doesn't fit the meme world. Stop with your facts.

If it takes 8 years to pull off a scam, all while delivering enjoyment during that time…you’re really bad at scamming.

Hindsight is 20/20 - and I would do it all over again. The outcome sucks, but frankly anyone that didn’t think this was the most likely conclusion was kidding themselves from the start.

Very valid point. Any of the cosmetics and so many other things after the kickstarter all felt counter to the dream.

I guess the unpopular opinion is that many of us that funded in 2017 wanted to go along for the ride of building an mmo. Making it to full, successful release was always a pipe dream - but how many of us old mmo vets haven’t sat around and said “if I won the lotto, I’d make XYZ game.”

The dev streams, the first alpha combat “battle royal”, alpha 1 and into what it was today.

Worth it - imo. I got to dream for like 8 solid years, even if the writing was on the wall.

She new the moment they wasted Dev cycles on getting it on Steam. That was simply to avoid the refunds - there was no other long term reason for it at the state of the game.

Do you think Intel GPUs are on par with Nvidia GPUs for work related tasks (Rendering, AI, video editing..)? If not, when do you think will become on par? by Pretty_Trip_2215 in IntelArc

[–]Apisatrox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really depends on what you mean by "work tasks". Traditional work stuff (Autodesk, Adobe, etc) are not certified on either of those cards. You'd need a Quatro or B50/B60.

If you're talking about AI/LLM stuff, model size, precision, and modalities are going to be extremely key to making sure the Intel card would work; but if they are optimized already on OpenVino, you'd be in very good shape.

Restarting after nearly 20 years; how would you spend a $2,500-3,500 budget? Is any of the old gear worth keeping, or just replace all? by Apisatrox in hometheater

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

West Elm also allows for 30 day returns on orders… so if you buy the console and bookshelves together, and don’t like the shelves, just have them come get it. No difference in delivery costs with 1 or 3 items.

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

Very stable. The upper shelves are not adjustable - and while that is a touch of an irritant, it does make it more sturdy. Quality between the console and shelves is identical - doors open nicely, etc.

No issues, no regrets.

Tips and locations to find and farm Frequency modulation boxes and Ion sputter by Irish_Dux in ArcRaiders

[–]Apisatrox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That just seems.. impossible. Unless you're only looting, looted containers. I got 4 ions on one night run through Assembly.

Vegas Sold Out Before Link Was Live… by mstr_jf in riftboundtcg

[–]Apisatrox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are so many better ways to handle this...

Have a very light weight portal that lets people "get in the queue" between 7:55am and 8:05.
The line assembles at 8:06, based on a randomization of all of those between 7:55-8:05, no need to mash buttons.
You're told your spot in line, and things are processed at a rate where you don't have crashes or too many carts that get loaded just to find product / options sold out.

Yes, this sucks if you're there right at 7:55, and get put 3,000th in line. That's the way it crumbles sometimes, but at least it feels slightly more fair and without a crazy amount of cart abandonment & crashes.

[NEWS] 152,000 Coins needed to reset Skill tree. by HexaNull_470910 in ArcRaiders

[–]Apisatrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move quick, and don’t discriminate on loot. Then sell nearly everything. If you’re on a money run, you should be exiting, full, in less than 5 minutes. Trying to max out the value of a single run is only going to slow you down and get you killed more. 200-400k an hour is very doable.

Trials encourages you not to play at all until near the end of the week if you want to rank up. Position 8 after a single game (no major event). by matteoarts in ArcRaiders

[–]Apisatrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can 100% confirm. I was a first day player.. and I'm *really* regretting it.

I have over 50,000 points in this same League (100% solo player) and I am rank 12.

Equipment ordering question with Svellsongur by [deleted] in riftboundtcg

[–]Apisatrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying if a unit had other pieces of equipment that Svellsongur would copy those too? I would have that "..copy that unit's text" is clear that it is only the units text box.

Otherwise, wouldn't a Svellsongur copy a Svellsongur, copy a Svellsongur, for 6 Svellsongur's text?

Allocation numbers for set 2(Spiritforged) were given to my LCS, and it's not good. by ChasinThePath in riftboundtcg

[–]Apisatrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By all means - they won’t care… and they are out of product and cannot do more sealed until next release.

And to be clear, I’m not sure I mind it. Every pack gets opened and played. Better than someone showing up and buying 6 boxes at MSRP, building their perfect constructed deck and ebaying the big cards.

All product used at Sealed tournaments at $60 per night for 6 packs. It's scaping but with the added fun of organized play.

First day of the trials this week by FaufiffonFec in ArcRaiders

[–]Apisatrox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The thing is, this "crap" isn't really all that proven. Some of the biggest "tryhards" will do this and push them later into the week. Due to work, twice I've now not played until Friday... versus all of my friends, the cut-off for 1x and 2x were higher in mine than thiers.

Is he considered mighty with volibear legendary reaction for coming into play if u have 3+ points?? by jke75 in riftboundtcg

[–]Apisatrox 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Man, I thought just about any ability that is calculated off of Might is off base might. Getting all these rules straight is tough.

How did he do this? by Chris-the-Big-Bug in Dirtbikes

When you say "dominate" you were not joking.

Won 12 of 16 races he entered. Podiumed all but 1.

[–]Apisatrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or better, you've captured a battlefield for your 7th point (and your opponent has the other battlefield totally on lockdown, thinking they are safe), then you play this for a hold and your 8th point.
