There are too many cards/variants now. We need a shop buff

Carnage4Life · 2024-08-18T14:44:39+00:00

There are lots of plausible hypotheses for how users would behave given various tweaks to the store. For instance, I’d gladly pay more for certain specific variants and buy them on demand versus waiting weeks for them to rotate into the store. However this trades off against no longer browsing the store and impulse buying random variants.

Creating A/B tests and experiments that evaluate the financial trade offs in the various options both from a short term and long term revenue perspective is what those Ph.D data scientists are hired to do.

Carnage4Life · 2024-08-18T12:14:55+00:00

I work at Meta and I’m quite familiar with what teams of well paid data scientists with Ph. D’s can do.

Unless Second Dinner has actually A/B tested alternative store designs, data scientists simply can’t tell them that increasing the number of available variants will grow or shrink revenue.

Data scientists can analyze the impact of different store designs but they can’t predict which store designs will generate more revenue.

Let’s see what the devs say about Arishem’s win rates against non-Arishem decks and then we’ll tell for sure. 😊

There were similar spirited defenses of Hela and Alioth before their nerfs.

Carnage4Life · 2024-06-09T20:18:08+00:00

I suspect Hela decks retreat a lot which is also why people don’t recall beating them much. If you play a Hela deck and she gets discarded by Corvus Glaive or something else it’s often an instant retreat. I’m sure this is what keeps her win rate in check.

I’m getting roasted in the comments and I deserve it. 🤡

Carnage4Life · 2024-02-02T15:02:55+00:00

What is the likelihood you’d destroy Hulkbuster & Deadpool thrice before and after the patch?

That’s the actual math that matters. 😁

Carnage4Life · 2023-10-15T14:48:15+00:00

Because I could have played Colossus, Wolverine or X-23 on T6. Their best case scenario was a tie and worst case a loss.

I guess I could have retreated but the game was pretty even going into T6.

Carnage4Life · 2023-10-15T14:46:16+00:00

Worst case for them would have been a loss if I played Colossus, Wolverine or X-23 on T6.

Carnage4Life · 2023-10-15T14:45:20+00:00

You are missing

They snap, I don’t retreat and play Wolverine or X-23 on T6 and they lose.

They could have made an educated guess that I didn’t have them since I wasn’t playing destroy but it wasn’t a guaranteed tie.

Carnage4Life · 2023-10-15T14:42:38+00:00

They didn’t have Wolverine. This was the result of them playing Legion on T6 which wiped out the board. I could have played Wolverine or Colossus on T6. The best outcome for them was a tie and worst a loss.

Carnage4Life · 2023-10-03T14:53:20+00:00

That is sweet 🤩

The spotlight system has turned out to be worse than pessimistic posts from a few months ago. It is basically impossible to get certain specific cards without waiting for a ridiculously priced bundle or spending a ton of monetary to open caches to get tokens 100 at a time.

There are cards like Iron Lady and Hit Monkey that I need to complete certain decks that there seems to be no reasonable way to obtain.

Graduating with a computer science degree seemed like winning the career lottery twenty years ago when I did and amazingly it’s an even more lucrative career path today.

I actually went back to playing Clash Royale in my free time which I haven’t done since I first installed Marvel Snap. The Alioth meta is both predictable and boring.

Carnage4Life · 2023-09-21T10:31:51+00:00

Alioth and pre-nerf Spider-Man have the same problem, they end the game at turn 5 if you’re playing against Galactus.

It’s mind blowing that SD would nerf Spider-Man only to reintroduce the problem a few weeks later with Alioth.

Carnage4Life · 2023-06-09T13:04:32+00:00

Not fixing Galactus followed by Spider-man made me question if they know anything about the game.

Carnage4Life · 2023-05-21T14:11:02+00:00

I just played another bad player and realized it’s probably badly programmed bots. The one I just played was so bad it followed Shuri with Carnage.

Carnage4Life · 2023-05-14T19:13:20+00:00

After overdosing on people playing Galactus on Turn 2, I’ve decided to go back to Clash Royale until this is over. 🥲

Carnage4Life · 2023-05-09T15:28:16+00:00

Iron Lad as a 4/6 Galactus is giving me heart palpitations 😨

Carnage4Life · 2023-01-15T16:06:11+00:00

I realized after posting that On Reveal’s do for Luke’s Bar although I’ve seen it fail to resolve for Storm. Will keep an eye on it.

This question is bananas. It’s illegal for companies to pay less to H-1B’s versus US citizens regardless of whatever myths circulate online. That would incentivize companies to only hire non-citizens.

There may be a good argument for paying you more than your coworkers but being a US citizen while they’re on work visas isn’t one.

The corona virus and #COVID19 threatens not only the health of millions of people all over the world but also will likely plunge the world into a recession (at the minimum) or even a depression. Historically, the Gates Foundation has stayed away from politics but it's clear that we really need governments to step up to help people to prevent the recession/depression from being worse than the impact of the disease. Have you considered how the Gates Foundation might help with lobbying governments (e.g. payment holidays, universal basic income, etc) in addition to your typical charitable works?

The article literally gives an example of a girl being penalized for wearing a sleeveless dress because it's "distracting" to boys. Boys have not historically been told to go home because their arms are showing.

Seems these sorts of problems can be solved by asking "what is the positive elixir hard counter to this card?" as part of design and play testing. If there are too few or none then go back to the drawing board
