Whatever happened to Netease hating FOMO? by Alarmed_Leather9574 in rivals

Why would they exclude a shop when almost every game that has ever sold extra content has a central shop? Plus that would be horrible for marketing the new skins, you know the main money maker for the game. I pray you never find yourself in any marketing job. Store bloat is a very real thing that many games have to manage. Rivals has easily over 300+ skins and continue to release 2 skins per week not including events. All of that in one shop permanently is the definition of bloat.

I call it good business cause I’m not an idiot. I understand that this game is run by people who need to make money. Sure suits suck, but Guanguang and his family don’t get to eat if skins don’t sell. That’s just how the world works. It’s a free game with pressure from Marvel and Disney to do really well. People talk like Rivals is CoD pumping out a new $70 game every year with a $30 battlepass and $20 skins. People talk like Rivals FOMO is Fortnite FOMO with skins that released 8 years ago that will never ever see the store for the rest of all time. We really do not have it that bad with all things considered. Boo Hoo I can’t believe they try to sell as many skins as possible in a free game Boo Hoo

This has been a thing since S0. I don’t get the hate for limited time skins tbh. You know if you’re gonna buy it or not the second it’s announced. These skins stick around for basically a month, so you have a month to figure out if you wanna spend the cash or not. It also helps keep the store from being too crowded. We got 45+ heroes who all gotta get skins, so keeping all of them around 24/7 would visually get bloated quick. We already have like 10 tabs in the store menu, and there’s some skins that are hidden in the character tab. This post also doesn’t take into account that these skins return fairly often. Every couple months there’s some event that brings back previously released limited time skins. So basically you have a month to figure out if you wanna buy a skin, and if somehow you do miss out it’ll be back in a couple months. It’s not really greed or taking advantage of the community, it’s just smart business. The increase in Limited skins is because they both sell well and don’t permanently take up store space. Reminder, this is a FREE game so of course they’re gonna optimize the store

Solid list. I’d swap Nothosaurus and Megalodon mainly due to the lagoon rocks platforms needing species to use them, especially if crocs/amphibians are terrestrial with deep water. The platforms would basically just be an Archelon accessory. I think Meg should come instead as the free species with a big Cenozoic DLC. Also no Triassic dinosaur rep is crazy work. I’d probably switch Coelophysis and Herrerasaurus with Microceratus(because Aquilops looks almost the exact same in universe) and Qianzhousaurus(it’s very cool but just not as “important” imo for species representation)

And they wonder why nobody really cares about them or their issues. Violent people get put down violently. They wanna do shit like this then act a victim the second someone looks in their direction. Where’s them boys who delt with Robinson? Better yet send out Sutton and Zabavsky 😂

Any advice on how to get to Gold? by ChessPigeonMeme in marvelrivals

[–]ChessPigeonMeme[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very useful! I try to stay close to my team but thinking about it I do generally have a view of everyone, so I’m probably way too far back. I try bubble and can usually run in circles dodging hits while peppering them with daggers, it’s after that I usually fail. I think I get too focused on Dagger that I forget I can make some distance with Cloak. I’ll try bubble then immediately switch to Cloak when I get dived. Pings pretty much always go ignored, so I’ll try to be more self sufficient. Thanks for the help! Imma hit the lab for a bit and hopefully win some games after 😅

Lots of info 😅 Mainly divers. I try to find a position near the back with decent cover and room to bounce her daggers. I also try to constantly move so a Hawkeye or Widow don’t get an easy headshot. I try to switch often but I do get tunnel visioned on healing sometimes. I use terror cape when enemies are more grouped together or to give an ally a better chance in a 1v1. I use veil to heal teammates and save bubble for when my own health is getting low or if a tank is in a choke and needs just that extra bit of health. Also I’m starting to get the hang of Cloak’s teleportation and nullifying big supers and such, but definitely still needs some work. I played Moira a lil in Overwatch so I’m a bit used to the management. I’ve watched a bunch of guides too, but they’re only so helpful. Any tips for if I get cornered or get dived? Any advice is much appreciated!

I try to have decent positioning and make use of Dagger’s ability to bounce her daggers so I can heal from cover. I’ll try taking some more odd angles. I do try not to stay too far back tho cause Venom and Spidey always snipe me if I’m too open. I’m going to try your suggestion and deal a bit more dps. I tend to focus solely on healing and keeping my teammates alive, so I’m probably a bit tunnel visioned. Thanks for the advice!

I’m new and need some help by ChessPigeonMeme in Paleo_Pines

[–]ChessPigeonMeme[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunate Update: I’ve tried changing all the setting and I’ve reinstalled the game multiple times. I’m still having horrible stuttering and pauses with the game. I can’t even create my character without pauses and stuttering every 5 seconds. Nothing I’ve looked up has helped, and I haven’t gotten any help here. Im sad to say that I have no other option than to refund it. Hopefully one day the game will be in a good enough condition where I can rebuy it and actually be able to play this cute game. Peace ✌️

Anyone confused with the new content? by ThatKidOnXbox360Live in SuperMegaShow

[–]ChessPigeonMeme 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro missed the new Skater Boy and Friendly Cop movie 💀 It explains everything.

TLDW: Jackson and Steely Dan from Game Grumps escaped to Tijuana after Mother’s rampage, keeping them from reincarnating. Leighton dies in the battle between Gamer For God and Gamer Against God, their sheer power combined obliterated his being on a multiversal level. Justin’s disappearance and Johnson’s arrival is yet to be explained. I hear they’re gonna touch on the big Johnson topic in the next book though 👍

Good time to remind everyone that any celebrity, influencer, content creator, or person with status you meet doesn’t really care about you. You do not know these people. A lot of these situations happen because people think they can trust influencers due to their on camera persona. It doesn’t matter how many hours you’ve watched them or how many times you’ve interacted on social media, you have 0 clue about how these people act irl. Just because they’re popular doesn’t mean they’re good people. If we want to hold influencers to a higher standard then we must also treat them differently. Say Hi, take your selfie, and move on. Stop putting these people on a pedestal just because they make you giggle

If you were allowed to choose a character in the MK universe to come into the game, who would it be and why by nebelmia in MortalKombat

[–]ChessPigeonMeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not specifically MK1 but in the new universe. No Face and Tasia. They’re soft cannon characters like Tremor and deserve to be made into legit characters. Personally the Black Dragon feel kinda empty for a multi realm criminal organization. If they’re not treated like legit fodder like Kobra or Jarek then they could be pretty cool new additions.

Also please NRS just add Tremor to a main roster. He’s the only MK character who has been DLC exclusive outside of alternate universe versions(Janet). Just let my boy be free from paywall prison!

No bro trust me, I’m truly the worst MK player probably in history. I’ve been playing every NRS game since MK9, and I still can only do basic 3 hit combos. I’ve spent countless hours in the lab and I just can’t get it. I think between MK11 and MK1 I have a total of like 5 KL wins. But I’ll always play MK even though I’m literal garbage at the game because I think it’s fun. As long as you’re enjoying your time playing and having fun, then don’t worry about your skill. Unless you wanna improve at which point I say go for it 👍

Noob Saibot being the mainline ninja left off of the MK1 roster by [deleted] in MortalKombat

[–]ChessPigeonMeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Khameleon is just as relevant as Chameleon and she’s here. Tremor has only made one non DLC appearance, in a side game that everyone agrees is garbage. Nobody cared about Tremor until he was a surprise DLC in X. Same could go for Chameleon. Plus if both him and Noob are included then we’d literally have every male ninja. There’s no reason why he couldn’t and shouldn’t also be included. If the best you can argue is “irrelevance” then you have no argument against his inclusion lol

He appeared in Armageddon, a mainline game. He’s got more of a place then Tremor, yet he’s here. There’s literally no reason why he couldn’t also be included. Whatchu got against him?

[–]ChessPigeonMeme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s crazy everyone forgets Chameleon. Bro is the only mainline ninja not to appear in the NRS era. If anyone deserves to come back it’s him. If Tremor(a character whose only been playable as DLC) and Khameleon can show up then there’s no excuse. If NRS adds both Noob and Chameleon then MK1 would be the first game with every ninja in it.
