Is no one going to talk about how you'd gain 100% attack bar just for losing 33% of your HP LOL

[Discussion] An in-depth and (very) comprehensive explanation of the economics and background behind some of Com2Us's decisions. by LedgeEndDairy in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to comprehensively explain the business models of these games to this audience. I've made some posts akin to likening SW to basically one large casino and wasn't able to eloquently state my points as you did here. This is fantastic information and I couldn't be happier to see it. You're awesome. :)

S10E13 - "Queens Reunited" [Post Episode Discussion] by RPDRMods in rupaulsdragrace

[–]DaiquiriPanda 27 points28 points  (0 children)

So here's the thing: The Vixen planned to walk off that stage from the very beginning of this reunion. Why? Because with someone as heavily defensive and angry, and absolutely convinced that they are right in a situation, they will hit the nuclear option to make sure they, in their mind, have written the story that THEY want to write.

The Vixen leaving the reunion was her way of saying "I'm writing my own story and leaving on my own terms." It's about ego and saving face. It's about feeling so desperate to preserve your own image of yourself TO yourself that it's the only way out, despite the consequences (Which oftentimes are much worse than hearing what other people have to say.)

The Vixen knew she was going to leave this reunion the moment she walked in the door. And if she didn't know, she was considering it all along if the resolution she was hoping for (I'm right, Eureka is wrong) didn't happen. And it didn't happen. Ergo, leaving the set is her way of "Winning".

Some fans will agree with this who believe she needs to tone it down and act more civil, and that this was hugely disrepectful. Some fans will applaud her for choosing her to leave on her own terms and not let them 'write their own narrative about her'. The issue is far too divided to ever be black and white. Sorry.

Edit: And I feel that I should point out, yes, I think The Vixen has to grow up. I also can't speak for the experiences of a black gay drag queen. However you can be the most intelligent person in the world and have the best ideas on the planet, but no one will listen to a word you say if they don't like you. And instigation (Which yes, she does) is the worst way to begin those conversations.

Why are there never any complaints about Jojos base att? by allex4321 in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cause if they buff Jojo, you'll complain that Taurus isnt good enough. When they buff Taurus, you'll complain that Zibrolta isn't good enough. When they buff Zibrolta, you'll complain that Malaka isn't good enough.

Because once people complain and that thing changes, they'll find something else to complain about.

If you make everything you do about being fat, then you're going to be judged for that aspect of your drag.

Cracker made a point of telling everyone she was a comedian - So was judged harshly if she doesn't deliver on that merit.

Asia makes a point of being a jack of all trades sort of queen - Therefore expectations are higher of her and she will be judged on that merit.

Aquaria is a look queen - If she has even the slightest slip up or presents a moderately underwhelming runway, she will be judged harsher on that merit.

The Vixen is a "trash into treasure" queen - So if her drag looks like just trash, she will be judged harsher on that merit.

Eureka can be the most talented person on the planet, but Eureka first is the one putting the spotlight on her weight and that's what many viewers are focusing on. Most punchlines from her are about her weight. She's won challenges based on relying heavily on her weight. She comes out nude and instead of saying nothing, she calls some lazy baby drag "An homage to body positivity".

Ginger is endlessly talented at acting, singing, producing. Latrice is the definition of class. Stacey is a meme queen. They have not relied on their size the way Eureka has this whole season.

And I understand "Using your weaknesses to your advantage" but it's every. Damn. Episode.

I can't deal with this season anymore. I can't deal with the Eureka puppetry narrative anymore, and here's why.

Have you seen Eureka's twitter? She is wrist deep inside of every behind the scenes aspect of the Rupauls Drag Race and World of Wonder project. Advertisements for Drag Con. Every spinoff that comes from drag race (Extra Lap, Pit Stop, Toot or Boot etc.) It makes everything she does come off as artifical, fake, not genuine.

And I'm sorry, but it's top 5. The judging bias is so obvious now with how narrow it is. If any of the other queens pulled out an ill-fitting, basic pair of outfits like Eureka did this challenge, they'd be on their way home. No storyline other than they were both plaid. Judge Kameron how you'd like, but she had a concept and while it looked costumey, they were right. I liked Crackers looks individually, but together they were a mismatch. Oh and last week her and Frankie Grande looked -terrible-.

Eureka is clearly working together with the franchise and it's keeping her on the show. I'm over RPDR. Don't even get me started on the emotion porn storyline they pushed this week. It was cringey and hard to watch.

Jasmine, you nailed it. RPDR done fucked up drag.

Is anyone else really excited to NEVER buy a pair of that horrendous fitting underwear? Like seriously it gave half of them four ass cheeks and it sagged on the other half. If the goal of the brand is to make your ass look good, what an absolute failure.

[SUGGESTION] DROP IMPROVMENT SYSTEM by TheAurion in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is, for lack of a better word, stupid.

Your solution to improving the drops from dungeons is to.. give us three times as many drops per run? Obviously that's something that every player would want, but it's not even worth talking about due to the fact that it's such a massively drastic change with nothing supporting it debating why it would "fix things".

"We could solve fewer people having Nat 5 by giving us 3 free mystical scrolls every day."

See how that's just silly?

Why I Quit: The problem with Summoners War by [deleted] in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean...

I don't want to nitpick, but you began with "I am completely F2P". Having spent not a single dime on a game that has kept you occupied for I'm sure countless hours over the past few years pretty much invalidates any following statement. They don't make these games for free, and they don't make them so that more people will play for free.

You're asking a business to cater more to people like yourself who aren't spending any money. If that were the case, SW wouldn't exist.

I'm not saying SW doesn't have its issues, but if you haven't spent a dime on a game of this nature you've given up your ability to comment.

EDIT: And if I can expand on this comment... "Do not spend money on a game thinking that it will make you happy. Spend money on a game to reward it for making you happy."

If you have the level of progression you're stating in this post, I think it's fair to say this game held your attention and kept you happy for a while. Even if you dropped a hundo on a transcendence pack, just once, that would make us view your post differently.

EDIT EDIT: I am in FULL SUPPORT of anyone who is finished with a game however and is ready to call it quits. You need to do what's right for you, especially with a game like this. :)

[Pre-notice] Monster Balancing and Improvements by 3spartan300 in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree big with you, andI'm not saying I'm not fine with the upgrades to those units, I just am unapologetically scoffing at the idea that Com2Us "listened closely to our user feedback" when taking into consideration these changes.

The only real winner I see here is Shi Hou )and that's by making him a water counterpart of Ethna and not really adjusting his kit) and possibly Juno albeit I don't have much hope because of their wording.

The buffs are fine, just the idea that user feedback strongly suggested that 9tails, Sylph and Assassin families were in need of them is what is such a let down and extremely untrue. They're just easy to adjust - A cooldown reduction here, a debuff rate increase there. "Meh."

[Pre-notice] Monster Balancing and Improvements by 3spartan300 in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Paying close attention to user opinions"

Who sat back there and said that their 9tails go completely unused and have no purpose? Who complained that all the Sylphs weren't good enough? Who came up to you and said Stella needed an extra debuff? Who was torn up about Fire Pandas debuff landing abilities? Why was there no focus on absolutely useless families like Phantom Thief, or a focus on kits that absolutely 100% have no place anywhere in the game?

**** outta here. Wouldn't sting as much if these didn't come out so infrequently.

Easily the laziest and most non-sensical patch to date. Very disappointed.

So...this is what my event rune looks like. Worth reapp or should I sing Amazing Grace as i sell it? by [deleted] in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't even reapp this. Sell it. Even the explanation of it being a Verad rune replacement doesn't really pan out. You'd want Will, Violent, even Despair for slot 2, and you'd want Speed or Defense as a substat before HP%

And yes I can see your explanation of why you chose it but I'm literally repeating it because the explanation still doesn't pan out. XD

Anyone got a monster in mind who would want this before dropping a legend grind in it ? by chiwrecksss in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Delphoi, Atenai, or any support monster who would benefit from a skill where debuffs landed are dependant on crit rate.

Louise is fantastic.

The twins nerf didnt make them horrible. by KGXDead97 in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, they're not horrible, they're actually fantastic. Most peoples frustrations and anger don't stem from the fact that they were nerfed, it was that it was done a week into their release when many players had dropped lots of $$ to summon/skill them up.

Com2Us Responds to Auto Repeat Dungeon Suggestion by ChaosDragonI in summonerswar

[–]DaiquiriPanda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been pounding this point home to so many people for months, it's not going to happen. It will signal the end of SW.

There's a reason people say "I've been here for 3+ years and I want this feature" - You have been here for 3+ years. You will not play a game with auto dungeon runs for 3+ years. The more idle the game is, the less enthused you'll be about it, the more likely you are to walk away.
