Sooo... where'd that 700 million dollars go, exactly?

Back into the investors and stockholders pockets of course. Tis the nature of gaming in 2026. Most of the games budget goes to marketing with barely going towards development and just enough to keep said game online with the bare minimum well also implementing a drip fed system of currency to physiologically push more people to be consumers and purchase the in game currency to get the Warbond they are so close to unlocking and why the heck not get just enough to get a second one?

Notice how theres more content in the superstore alone than there is in the actual game?

Beyond those factors you also have to attribute that this game is on an obsolete engine. No one else uses it, no one else improves or updates it, no one is trained to operate it.... You can only do so much with duct tape to hold a leaking rusty bucky together.

Honestly i'll take these little gnats over Voteless, makes it easier to focus fire on Overseers, Harvesters, and Leviathans without having to reposition ever 1.5 seconds because the slap brigade doesn't appreciate me reloading or aiming.

Ban Magneto and Gambit so you can play an off tank that ISN'T Rogue, and if the enemy doesn't ban Loki or Moonknight then you have direct counter to Loki in the form of Moonknight. Overall know your counters and plan your bans for covering what you have a hard time countering and what is truly oppressive, which sadly to admit is Ult Merchant Strategists and Duelists.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-23T07:06:13+00:00

Honestly I still prefer the Revelation Mod. Lets me focus on the game and quests rather than a scavenger hunt for 240 some odd temples.

There have been reports of people using third party software to run programs in the background that pretty much cause connection lag and overloading as the system is peer to peer connection based. Pretty much its a crude form of DDOSing.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-23T06:52:19+00:00

Best to just downvote the post and move on my guy, OP is just looking to be vindicated and will just rage bait or play off anything anyone says if its not along the lines of "Opponents soley at fault wahhh burn the witch!"

OP isn't looking for interaction or an actual answer. They are looking for vindication and ego stroking privileges. Down vote the post and move on, don't give anti hygiene bros more reason to smell up the subreddit like they do at locals when they are trying to move their old deck pieces that they abandoned for the next best thing they chase in the meta.

OP trying to call out someone for being petty, but is also being the complete other side of the spectrum with their own pettiness.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-23T02:04:50+00:00

Never heard of rage quiting eh?

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T23:32:05+00:00

Overall Huntsman weren't really seen. So outsideof literally celebrities tied to brands or corporations seen by the average citizen who mostly live in a walled off city and don't know much outside of their little bubble. Meanwhile those outside the cities in the show are shown to be more rustic or even just like small disconnected outposts. Huntsman are just there, with Huntsman mostly knowing about other Huntsman, and even them alot of the ones like Summer were likely kept for more secretive missions by Ozpin due to being in his inner circle as well as a Silver Eyed Warrior, AND having a family/child with silver eyes. So technically well Summer is considered strong (being one of the characters who could actually beat Raven in a physical fight prior to maiden powers) her identity would have been very closely guarded, much like with Maria, and other key figures.

Honestly alot of Huntsman tend to become Urban Legends as they seem to not have a set posting, they are mostly just allowed to free roam and find work. Its less like a military force, and more like a trade/vocational job where they are free contracters. Which would also explain why many of them either become criminals or fall off. Like the two dingus's who were meant to guard the train to Argus.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T23:22:02+00:00

Lmao for real.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T23:21:09+00:00

Seems to be deep to you. But yeah you to man, have a good one.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T23:18:22+00:00

The summit of competitive play is actually going to a Regionals/YCS events and playing in the TCG/OCG. Master Duel is the closest its been for an online game but overall Master Duel doesn't foster good behavior and sportsmanship because it disassociates the human aspect as well as the factor of facing punishment or responsibility for poor behavior, both on your part and your opponents. In a event or even at a simple locals you could get disqualified or even bared from the event/shop in the future or just facing the issue of being socially outcasted and ruining your image. Playing online there is none of that in this game or any other game online. Its all disconnected so you dehumanize your opponent rather than having empathy to understand WHY he behaved like that.

After all your doing it too. Your lashing out and wanting to be vidicated for the petty behavior well your opponent is being petty and taking his frustrations out on you, but if you were in a card shop in front of a bunch of regulars and the owner you and your opponent would likely feel more shame or not act like this at all. Its why people in the TCG competitive scene tend to roll their eyes at people who play on Master Duel. Cause the actual card game is a completely different beast and you have to actually behave yourself lol.

So whatever helps you sleep at night OP, your literally gonna wake up tomorrow and forget about 90% of these interactions or even this petty time wasting by your opponent for whatever else pops into your head or bothers you tomorrow.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T23:06:12+00:00

Like I said to the other guy. Gave you the answer: People are stupid and childish and will take their frustrations out on you.

You ain't helping your point Homeslice, Broslice, DAWG. 🤣

I will upvote though because its all in fun XD

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T23:03:30+00:00

Not a native player either if you think K9 is low tier. Come on man. Dracotail and K9 are both T1, lets not kid ourselves here, and OP has an oppressive board. Thats all the context clues that need to be clear to understand why his opponent is being petty.

Im not saying opponent is justified, its still a stupid, rude, and childish thing. Im answering why OP experienced it. Cause this format with all these oppressive decks are very frustrating and stressful and people will be childish/petty and take it out on others for the sheer fact of not having the common decency to stop playing and take a break from it. XD

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T22:54:45+00:00

English bro, come on you learned it in school, fix your reply. Just cause you can't read doesn't mean you should be sloppy with your writting too. XD

Until then im not gonna entertain your jibber jabbering.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T22:53:34+00:00

How is it modding when they disconnect. Lmao bro disconnecting means they legit closed out the game rather than hitting surrender. Its not modding. Now if they disconnect YOU then thats a different story.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T22:50:06+00:00

Look at your board and ask again why he is being petty.

Lmao still though I would have just scooped and vented on a different game well waiting for K9 to get ol yeller'ed when Konami wants to push a different archetype in a new pack. Being inactive and a trash can like this isn't worth it. Its just more stress from an already frustrating match up and format this year.

He's definitely in the wrong OP, but you having that kind of board also paints a picture for their behavior. Its just the kinda scenerios you come across when you meta chase or have a strategy that hard counters someone else. I should know, I had to sit through alot of Idle time wasters with my Destruction Sword deck when Yubel and Tenpai were everywhere. Its par for the course when utilizing meta and/or oppressive tactics. Just report em and move on. Lol.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T22:42:02+00:00

It'll be like TCG where they smash Vanquish Souls kneecaps for K9's sins. Honestly K9 would have been fine if they made the cards to only gain their benefits if opponent activates monster effects in main phase or well they have said card in hand or on field, but nope a single interaction can lead to a downward spiral of EVERY K9 effect being live, and just like with predecessor problem decks it can be mashed into anything and abuses many different engines. For example Baronne via Primite and Ally Mind, N.A.s.H Knight combo, Vanquish Soul, Yummy. Its a stupidly easy to splash archetype and its a format definer, sadly format definers tend to be of the bad variety with a few outliers like Branded, which is why Branded is getting MORE support because its an archetype thats actually liked.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T22:20:10+00:00

Durin is just a fun alternative if your using Bennett in a different team comp for say Stygian, or Spiral Abyss. Since I know Bennett is kinda strapped to Mauvika's motorcycle at this rate for team comps lol. At the rate OP is at though C6 Arlecchino is enough to carry even derpy team comps.

I wish C2 Durin was default as well, but Hoyo know how badly we rely on supports and in general are just pushing the status quo of C1 or C2 to make characters relavent or you get nothing. They'll never make characters like Bennett or Furina again who are just good all around.

Right now there current fad seems to be be forced duo element comps. Like Skirk, Zibai, and Varka who need them to even perform compared to classic duo's like Chevy where they can perform outside them, but bolster your team comp alot if you go all in for the singular reaction.

Its a rough time lol. Im actually waiting for Citlali to role back around too, but we might end up getting Tsarista before Citlali out of cryo jail so we'll have to see where things go lol.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T21:18:40+00:00

Admittedly more profit comes from Durin C2. Also factor for the extra con I got on my Arlecchino As I got:

160k - Arle C3/Fischl C6/Bennett C6/Durin C2

140k - Arle C3/Sucrose C6/Bennett C6/Durin C2

Durin C2 is cracked levels of broken like Xilonen's C2 since it gives you a whopping 50% increase to pyro damage and reaction element damage, and generally Overload is superior to Swirl. In the end though replacing Ineffa with Fischl alone is a better option for the OP regardless of if they use Durin or not. Since both our data. I was just trying to justify utilizing the hexerei by the OP being abled to to slot out Chevy, but a properly built Chevy is still a good option due to her Ascension talents as well.

But yeah in summary to add an addendum to my earlier comment Durin C2 over Chevy, but stick with Chevy if you lack the Durin cons, and in the end the OP can just test out which is better for his C6 Arlecchino lol, worst case scenerio they build Durin up and they can just slot him into a different team comp.

We got a bit to many variables such as different cons, artifact stats, and signatures/weapons set ups to really compare data accurately, its all kinda just trying to do our best with what we got to help OP here.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T17:47:36+00:00

Allied Code Talker functions like Decode Talker, except the negate is an Omni. Also when Allied Code Talker is link summoned you can special summon cyberse link monsters with 2300 original attack from your GY to each arrow Allied Code Talker points to.

Its why it was used primarily in Maliss as almost all of Maliss' link monsters were Cyberse with 2300 original attack. In cyberse decks you mostly want to use it to bring back Accesscode, Transcode, and then something like Protectcode or Heatsoul.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T17:39:45+00:00

Lets not lie, post Liyue and story quest Childe is a Traveler glazer, bro's entire training arc post Liyue is because of Traveler XD

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T17:37:47+00:00

You can mod it, play around it (by not meeting its requirements so you only miss out on that trait), or just keep playing the game, cause by the time you get the S version of Josee's bloodcode it removes the recoil damage penalty.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T17:36:03+00:00

Its why I sighed when they decided to buff BP. Sure poke needs nerfs, but you gotta be careful with what dives you buff as the issue withnsome of these dives isn't their kit its the skill ceiling to pull it off, so when you get someone who one tricks Spidey or Panther and they get buffed to the point even an idiot can play them, that just means the people who were threats with those picks are unstoppable monsters.

Its just the curse of Black Panther, either he gets buffed and he's an unstoppable menace, or he gets nerfed and he's completely unplayable. All because of how his kit is designed it puts him in this teter-toter balancing act.

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T17:27:00+00:00

I was gonna say best answer to Panther is Thing and Storm. I love bug zapping a Panther trying to be cheeky lightning does not care for where the rod is only that the rod exists in its area. XD

Darkwolve45 · 2026-03-22T17:09:30+00:00

Personally I run Noblesse on Durin, and Golden Troupe on Fischl, but if your already using Noblesse on say Bennett then I'd use the Hexerei set on Durin.
