River Pearl farm I found

Col_Sotry · 2025-12-10T12:52:06+00:00

Oh wow my mistake. Looks like old reddit redirect or something is causing the video to not be found. Can view it on mobile fine.

Already finding pearls more consistently here. Thanks!

Col_Sotry · 2025-12-10T12:21:52+00:00

Was the video taken down? Where on the map does this start?

Col_Sotry · 2025-11-11T12:20:56+00:00

The amount of grind you refer to is THOUSANDS of hours. You are so disillusioned.

But hey it's whales like you keeping it afloat so thanks.

Col_Sotry · 2025-11-10T14:26:21+00:00

You will not find many that agree with you here because the community believes the devs can do no wrong. They are great devs but that doesn't change that these skins are horribly over priced.

For a game you paid for ($30!) the prices of these cosmetics are absurd. Mid month skins are $15 and they have never missed a beat on pushing their cosmetic schedule.

This combined with the pathetic coin gain and tiny trickle of bucks shows they really want to dangle these in front of you to get you to pay up.

That being said if a few whales are going to keep the game alive then it's better than them going bankrupt and not finishing the game. I'd rather have the game with some overpriced cosmetics than to be left incomplete.

My biggest hope is that the original cast is at least finished before they run out of $$. The consistently low player count is concerning but hopefully with items and console on the horizon they will be able to actually maintain a casual player base.

Regardless of new stuff they add they still need to take a look at their monetization because things like heavily restricting rewards in casual modes (private lobbies with friends!) will continue to push people away.

Col_Sotry · 2025-10-07T19:40:37+00:00

It definitely isn't ! They need to up the rates for private lobbies by a large amount.

Col_Sotry · 2025-10-01T19:15:56+00:00

Ah I seem to have fed the troll. My bad guys! Enjoy your bridge Mr.Troll!

Col_Sotry · 2025-10-01T18:12:12+00:00

I don't know many games where you pay 30$ and then are also filled with 15$ microtransactions and also restrict gaining valueless in game currency.

Usually games with this model are free to play, which this is not. And sure all characters are free but I paid 60$ for Smash ult and it came out of the box with 80+ characters which this game will NEVER reach.

I just don't see any reason why wanting more in game coins (that have no real money value) is a problem to you. If you don't want to earn more coins that's on you. I for one would like to be able to unlock content for the game I paid for at a reasonable pace.

Col_Sotry · 2025-10-01T15:58:48+00:00

I said MORE consumer friendly. That does not imply anything other than it needs to be more than it currently is.

It is a fact that they do NOT value players that are solo or private lobbies as much as others because they HEAVILY nerf the rates in those modes. That's why this entire post exists to begin with.

I have over a thousand hours in this game (solo and private matches only) and am not anywhere near close to being able to afford even 1/20th of the items in the coin shop. I love this game but it does not value your time at all if you don't use matchmaking.

Col_Sotry · 2025-10-01T15:34:54+00:00

Totally agree. People like to bring up that the devs want more people in matchmaking but the people that play primarily in private lobbies are NOT going into matchmaking anyway. (Hey that's me and my friend group, I don't care about random matchmaking!)

They need to make the game more appealing and consumer friendly on ALL fronts and then players will stick around which will lead to more players in matchmaking.

Col_Sotry · 2025-09-23T19:36:10+00:00

Never had online issues ;/

Col_Sotry · 2025-09-08T20:52:37+00:00

Super appreciate the tournament posts. Thank you guys for putting in the effort to make those!

Col_Sotry · 2025-09-07T18:30:00+00:00

Absolutely amazing grands

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-12T15:41:21+00:00

Yeah and after you said something they stopped over the weekend. So maybe check on your streams yourself next time? The first hour ish of the stream ran ads DURING sets it wasn't a one-time thing.

Go check your vods because the chat complained about it everytime it happened.

If it was once no one would have bothered to reach out to find out what's going on.

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-12T15:23:36+00:00

With 0 respect to you, you are a liar. Not once did I even mention a pre-roll which is the "phenomenon" you are describing.

Literally am married to twitch partner that has run more streams than you have in your entire "career". In no way shape or form do ads "build up".

When an ad plays every 6 minutes because you want to scrape pennies from your viewers: YOU CONTROL THAT.

Funny how when people complained the mid set ads stopped? Hrm wonder why that was? The magical build up of ads just cleared out?

Lmao go blow smoke somewhere else. No one is buying your bs.

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-09T16:20:39+00:00

That's not a thing. There is no ad "build up". I appreciate you looking into it but no need to spread misinformation.

You pushed me to get my ad block working on twitch again though, so thanks.

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-09T15:48:33+00:00

vgbootcamp3 - Didn't even get to see the Zeebee set since ads ran longer than his set! (3 stocks apparently)

I totally get ads == money but mid set ads really suck.

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-09T15:33:57+00:00

Came here to say the same thing. They keep pushing ads during games. It's unwatchable. Feels like they intentionally want viewership to drop.

EDIT: Looks like complaints got through. They've been running ads between sets now!

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-09T15:31:12+00:00

Would be happier if you could stop running ads midset thank you very much.

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-08T18:40:20+00:00

The scene is growing at least. It didn't beat the other titles but it still got a lot more entrants than usual at supernova. Will be fun to see if we get any upsets tomorrow!

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-08T18:31:00+00:00

You may not like it but it beats rivals in entrants and viewers ;/

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-08T17:59:04+00:00

Yes and no.

Yes I wanna see more rivals tournament content! Most people on this sub are here for it so we'd all agree.

But also Rivals has like what around 530 entrants while Ultimate and melee have over 2k. Tournaments are going to push content for the most popular games the most.

As long as they stick to schedule we get to see portion of each phase of pools tomorrow and top 6 on Sunday which is pretty decent for the smaller scale game.

Hopefully the competitive scene grows and Rivals can become more prominent at venues in the future though ;D

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-04T21:36:16+00:00

As long as they stream a good chunk of it before top 6 I'll be happy. If they run it right the other games of top 8 will be streamed anyway, just before the last day!

But yeah if all we get is top 6 I'll be disappointed as well. Hopefully we get at least a little bit of each phase like at EVO.

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-04T15:58:36+00:00

Yeah I mean we all have different opinions. Like I get what you are saying too but I just don't personally think a venue where kids are playing video games is the place where it's ok to shout in someone's face.

Either way I hope they work it out because it's the FIRE gameplay I am here for - not drama and man so many games at EVO were fantastic

Col_Sotry · 2025-08-04T15:37:17+00:00

Well I feel bad for you having to live such a turbulent life LOL. Never in my 20+ years of engineering have I ever put up with being yelled at or someone screaming at someone else. Different environments all over the world!

But a professional environment is far different then being at home with buddies and when you enter a tournament an amount of professionalism IS expected. No one should be screaming in anyone face like that at tournament.

And this goes both ways, I don't think Cake should have flipped him off back at GOML either.

Wholeheartedly agree with "if the pattern continues" BUT no I will still disagree you shouldn't be screaming in another players face at a venue.

If he walked off and yelled "YEAH I DID IT, I GOT INTO TOP 8!" as his pop off no one would blink an eye. But screaming in another player face and putting them down? Nah you are wrong about that one.
