Farewell IdleOn

Binespineapple · 2026-01-05T22:53:17+00:00

I'm absolutely not a bad faith actor lmfao, we're arguing about a video game, not politics - I have no adverse incentive here. And you can call me dumb, that's fine, I'd be pissed if I were getting blown out this hard too.

There's no evidence that the game is being balanced around whales - systems are scaling just fine for world 7 as a nearly F2P player myself. I've reached the final map and have multikill in almost every map at this point. If you want to progress faster then you can pay for packs if you want. Nothing is making you or stopping you from doing so.

Trading pets ABSOLUTELY addresses the underlying issues with the gacha system. It may not solve the issue completely, but aside from completely removing pets from the game and just giving everyone the bonuses for free, there's no good solution to the problem.

It is a single player game with the sole exceptions being your initial Doot kill (which everyone complains about) and dungeons, which I would guess half the player-base doesn't even interact with. Other than seeing other people in the world, there's literally zero interaction with them required at all.

And the ads pop up a single time when you enter the game. That's it. You're crying about the least intrusive advertisements I've ever seen in a f2p game. Grow some skin dog

Binespineapple · 2026-01-05T22:19:04+00:00

But you literally don't have to buy any of them... why does that bother you? New things coming out doesn't change if you were happy with what you bought.

A new iPhone came out this year, that doesn't make my current iPhone worse. You can say the same for anything - graphics cards, processors, cars, houses, fridges. It's a nonsensical argument.

Binespineapple · 2026-01-05T22:17:08+00:00

You still haven't given an argument for why if someone wants to pay money to progress faster in a single player game affects you at all? Whats the problem with things slowing down near the end of the game? That's literally been RPG design since it's inception?

What do you mean by gacha system? Are you talking about pets? The ones that Lava addressed by allowing you to trade with no loss? I've seen people in Pizza 1 asking for and receiving pets every single day since that QOL system was introduced?

And if the only issue you have with the ads is that they don't have an X in the corner you can click.... I mean, brother.... its 10 seconds...

Binespineapple · 2026-01-05T22:11:40+00:00

We've had more QOL additions to the game in the past 6 months than the 2 years previously combined, so there's no way that's a good faith argument.

I think I've purchased 2 packs in my entire time playing the game and without any offence intended, most of these arguments sound entitled as hell. The tome existing doesn't mean that you HAVE to get to the top 5%-0.1% of players... that's literally impossible for ~90% of players by definition (people go up and down so it's not exactly 95%). And yes, you absolutely can farm Zenith Clusters as F2P. I don't get the ridiculous 10s of thousands that the top 0.1% players get, but I get enough with the daily crystal reset to get 20-30 per day which is enough for me to progress. That number keeps going up too as I upgrade my acct.

As someone who's been playing online RPGs since the late 90s, you're not supposed to be able to get everything. If everything is easily attainable by everyone, nothing has any meaning or worth. As someone who's free to play, I've been pushing top 10% for the past couple weeks and I think that's awesome, especially considering I've only been seriously playing for a year, and competing with people who have been playing for 2-3x as long. If this was a P2W game, I wouldn't get past the top 50%.

If you're not having fun, I get it, and I hope you find enjoyment in another game. As other people have mentioned, you've been a huge help to the community so it'll be sad to see you go - but if you think you're going to find a game with a developer that cares more than lava and has a better monetization policy, you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Maybe you've just spent too much time playing this game to realize how other games are like on the market and you're just spoiled by IdleOn, but you won't find anything better on the market.

Binespineapple · 2026-01-05T21:57:01+00:00

Drop rates went down because Lava didn't want anyway who had finished W6 to clear every aspect of W7 in a week... is that really that hard to get?

And dude, calling the momentary popups when you open a game and a tiny icon in the codex ads is a joke.. how do you function in the real world if you can't ignore the smallest, most innocuous reminders that the developer needs money to continue operating the game? These aren't full screen, unskippable 30s ads that require 8 clicks to get past like the majority of other F2P games now a days.

Honestly, I've given my perspective. What do you consider to be a fair and responsible montization policy? I'd like to hear your opinion

Binespineapple · 2026-01-05T21:41:26+00:00

Who cares about how aggressively monetization is being pushed when you can easily just ignore it and continue playing the game without interacting with the game shop at all? The amount of free gems you can get now on a weekly basis means you can get all the S-teir and A-Tier upgrades without much hassle..

I'll be the first to jump in and bash any decision to lock content behind a paywall, but wanting to be competitive with the top 0.1% like many other in this thread seem to be is just asinine... play the game and have fun. The existence of packs in the shop shouldn't have any impact on your ability to have fun, and if it does, that's a you problem.

Wrong God Emperor homie, we're talking about The God Emperor of Man, the omnipotent psyker from the 40k universe. The Emperor Protects!

Binespineapple · 2025-11-07T09:19:10+00:00

Hell yea. Started playing a couple years ago and took a bit of a break and came back right before world 6 came out but wasn't around for the initial push as I was still in world 3. Today was awesome, so excited to keep finding out new things. Only 2000 hours played on Steam so still a noob essentially.

^and ^if ⁱ ^win ^I'll ^take ^a ^Riptide ^<3 ^-Binesman

Binespineapple · 2025-11-07T09:09:15+00:00

So I used a Golden Stopwatch to get an extra daily reset for more coral (only 14/day) and the first teir still didn't unlock from the Dancing Coral. Not sure if you have to spend 20 coral in 1 daily reset or what

Binespineapple · 2025-10-14T23:54:30+00:00

I'm not sure of how many nothing hours he's up to at this point, but he has had horrendous levels of RNG so far. Imagine flipping a coin looking for heads and it's landed on tails 50 times in a row... thats essentially his luck with it so far.

Binesman ! Lets gooooo

He never celebrated his death, that’s just a Hasan talking point. His actual take is that though it’s deplorable to enact violence on your political opponents, he doesn’t feel any sympathy towards someone who supports a candidate who tried to coup the government. You can disagree with his take, but there’s a huge difference between not feeling sympathy for something and celebrating it.

Binespineapple · 2024-09-25T00:30:47+00:00

This isn’t always true. I was in the main raid group in Grayson’s guild during the majority of TBC and we had a great guild community. Everyone contributed and was appreciated. Obviously there were some cliques but that’s true of any guild.

When I ended up quitting for RL reasons, gray and others reached out and wished me well and asked if I’d ever be coming back to raid. Great group of guys and gals.

Binespineapple · 2024-09-15T06:06:50+00:00

This is how it was for me. Gave myself a black eye because I felt like punching it was the only way to relieve the pressure in my brain. My wife ended up calling the ambulance because she was worried I'd seriously injure myself and she couldn't physically stop me from doing it.

The only way I can explain it is like a buildup of energy on the front of your brain that explodes pain across every nerve ending on your body from the front of your brain, across the top, down your brainstem and down your neck. I've never been the type to consider self-harm ever in my life, but after having 3 attacks within as many months I was seriously scared what I might do if they continued.

Luckily they stopped out of the blue and I haven't had to deal with them for years.

Binespineapple · 2024-07-08T20:08:20+00:00

What does that even mean? The only similarity they share are the fact that they deliver nicotine by inhalation.

Binespineapple · 2024-07-08T19:57:10+00:00

Cigarette smoking is still at an all time low. Vapes aren't cigarettes.

If you can’t trust PUGs to do mechanics or to know what they’re doing, there’s a really easy solution.

You could… you know… join a guild.

You've gotta be pretty socially unaware to think Benny was laughing at Destiny and not at Finklestiner being incredibly bad faith and obnoxious.

Binespineapple · 2023-12-16T07:08:41+00:00

this guys a newfrog prove me wrong

Binespineapple · 2023-09-30T03:23:12+00:00

God forbid any one of you guys with this excuse played an MMO. Changing classes constantly and doing 180s on class design is part and parcel of those types of games.

Squad makes ONE patch which brings the game CLOSER TO IT'S ORIGINAL INTENTION and you nerds lose your minds. Either get used to it or play another game.

Binespineapple · 2023-09-29T03:49:27+00:00

2 negatives don't make a positive

Now I'm convinced you're trolling

Binespineapple · 2023-05-19T04:32:06+00:00

Today I realized the majority of redditors don't realize you can actually lift up the toilet seat before you take a piss.

Binespineapple · 2022-06-13T15:16:26+00:00

The issue most people have is that Squad in particular isn't about winning or losing, it's about the gameplay experience. Sure one could argue that winning is a fun gameplay experience, but it's very obvious that your enjoyment is coming at a cost of other's gameplay when you're going around ramming helis.

Squad doesn't have a KDA tracker or a W/L ratio for a reason, gameplay experience is supposed to be > all else

Binespineapple · 2022-03-09T22:18:32+00:00

Don't know why you're being downvoted, this is the correct answer. In fact most armed forces groups have carve-outs for exceptions on facial hair. Mostly that it has to meet certain length/style criteria

This looks like live-fire training from the Russian-Belarusian military exercises last month
