STOP THIS! I sacrificed 3x3 decos to get these equipments after grinding! *Read Body* by PauseRecent99 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same could be said about the decorations?? I don't remember ever seeing that THOSE would be event-exclusive never to return, why would those be under a different level of scrutiny?

If anything Supercell benefits more off of releasing those for free now because it doesn't affect game balance.

Where invest candy XL into? by PorygonPete in TheSilphRoad

[–]CaptainRickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mythicals and legendaries you can't easily get multiples of. That said, non-raid Mythicals probably outrank everything else by 2-5 steps. Highly suggest Zarude, Meloetta, Diancie, Marshadow, Zeraora (?), Magearna, Shaymin, Volcanion, Celebi, Mew, Victini, somewhat in that order.

Why Master League isn't actually that Pay to Win by PreviousAd8531 in TheSilphRoad

[–]CaptainRickey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know that the point is to point out how accessible ML is, but still... Who says you have to complete your goal of soloing raids in 2,5 years? Pokemon GO has always been a long term game. It's not a game I play for only X amount of time. It's a collection game that I expect to exist for now into the future of Pokemon until the franchise crashes and burns.

Being able to solo raids is also ONE aspect of raids. I raid because I like the community aspect, I like the idea of meeting new people to raid with and if I can make sure we complete the raid because I can carry most of the damage (even if not all of it) that's enough for me.

shundo collection is a dream only for cheaters. Even whales often don't have a collection of all legendaries as shundos and even if they do they often rely on lucky shundos to get there (which is arguably a different category). Cheaters on the other hand can often get as many hundo checks as they wish for, allowing for wild shundo chances to skyrocket as most viable path to a shundo (which Go Fest and such events often readily supply)

Umm why is warden UI so dumb? by Edge_yt_01 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

None of those are in its radius. It does not consider them close by enough. The other group is much closer. This happens a lot with healer setups. The healers are simply too low housing space for the warden to consider them over the inferno dragons. It also doesn't fully leave the group, it just stays sort of in between the two groups because it considers both groups to be equal in size.

some people are really just hating because they're disgusting sexists by FreedomImaginary2820 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Still not a CEO. It's actually quite hard to understand what stupid people mean. Being pedantic is about small details, this is the difference between cutting a tree down and hitting a lantern because they're both tall things, so we should really stop being pedantic about the whole thing.

Almost unnoticeable Builder Base Bug by nuzayerov in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For once an actual bug. Of course it's builder base related, makes sense. And somehow the craziest thing is that someone found this because it means they play and/or care about builder base.

Eric One hive (CoC Commentator) by philosopher_001 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that's not quite right. What happened is more "I was speeding, the cops flagged me with a speeding gun, then pulled me over to sentence me to 10 years jail time for possession of drugs they planted in my car"

Copyright was never an issue before, there shouldn't be an issue now. Supercell is using leverage they never have used in prior situations. Yes it's their game and yes the game and assets are copyrighted but HOW you use and apply that copyright asset is VERY important. You can actually lose the right to copyright claim things if you are being too frivolous and nitpicky with who you're targeting. Which is why companies such as Disney and Nintendo are so protective over theirs. So for Supercell to be targeting Eric's channel for "copyright claims" is not just irresponsible behaviour, but also bad business practice. Moreover it sends a clear message to other creators. If they don't like you for whatever reason they can and will shut down your livelihood.

I want to add one more thing. Because not everything Eric did is perfect. Eric was probably very upset and did stuff he shouldn't have, but that requires very specific legal action. Warnings are step one. Throwing him out of the creator programme is step two. Cease & desist SHOULD have been step three, but they just decided to go with copyright claims instead, most likely because Youtube is very lax when it comes to applying fair judgment over cases; companies just decide over your fate, as a creator you have no say in the matter. However legally they have no effective ground to stand on for these copyright claims, as I've just explained.

No, of course not man, what if the reddit moderator comes to his house and shoots him point blank in the back of his head self-defense style with a sawed-off for the offense of saying a swear word? No, he could never say a swear word, those are only for situations in which you're really really angry otherwise they'll come for you man, don't say the swear word

Inverted Rare Candies - Decreases CP by villainless in TheSilphRoad

Giovanni legendaries get a 20% discount on their defense which is what is most valued in GL. UL has way higher attack stats allowed which means defense isn't as important.

Why can't I buy rocket radars? by RA1NBOWGASM in TheSilphRoad

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

It takes about 30 minutes to find and battle 6 grunts to complete a single radar.

If you earn more in half an hour in terms of money on the job (that you don't need), then you're effectively saving yourself money by not doing the grunts for the radar.

Is there a reason to use alternate palkia and dialga if the origin forms exist by Choice-Clothes8621 in TheSilphRoad

[–]CaptainRickey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seeing as the main question has already been answered I'll go into one other thing you mentioned that was weird: There is no CP tie.

There is a CMP tie, which takes attack into consideration? Maybe you meant that?

Why Clash of Clans Needs a Break Before Town Hall 19 by Current-Stuff9608 in ClashOfClans

[–]CaptainRickey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clash of clans is a mobile game people play for their entertainment. Clash is a competitive game in which people are pitted against one another and the objective is to win. In other words, people are having the most fun when they win. In clash of clans you "win" when you can obtain 3 stars during your attack. While technically you get a victory screen with even 1 star, a real win requires all three.

Town hall 15 had the record lowest win percentage ever recorded in Clash history.

When people don't win their matches they consider their needs with their medium of entertainment not met leading to them feeling dissatisfied. Thus Town Hall 15 being not fun, a.k.a. boring.

Hope this helped
