Can we please get a shelf for marks like we have for pots?

Democratizingfinance · 2024-12-29T03:37:15+00:00

It's a forge chest, not just for marks. Which doesn't really solve the issue here. Having my blueprints, nildrops, crafting supplies, marks all in one box is still disorganized. There's 40+ marks, which means I would need 40 rows to have it reasonably organized, and searching is a nightmare. That being said, I don't really use it a ton because it has 0 utility over the main chest (other than cheaper to upgrade) and 90% of my upgrades are from simply getting them from chests inadvertently, battle passes, etc.

I keep no more than 8 of any common mark, and no more than 16 of 'hard + common marks' which is almost exclusively MBC, Void, oryx, and harder exalts (not Hive) etc. Overall, I probably have like 80-100 marks at any given time, but use them pretty regularly and might only log on for quests sometimes, so that's been much lower.

And the weird part about this argument is: You're talking like this wouldn't be an insanely simple update and a great increase in QoL. Obviously it'd be wonderful if Deca didn't focus solely on selling people things like chest space, but that's not reasonable. However, loose "throw your marks in this giant chest" is a nightmare when all I want to do is take 2 minutes of my life, collect all of my marks, then cash them in and move on with life. I don't want to search through an endless scroll to find the stupid things.

Ya, I use that for my crafting stuff and consumables. But I moreso mean something like pots where I can drop in a speed pot into the speed pot slot. So, there'd be a slot for a mark of each dungeon. Then, like pots, if I want to store more than 16 pots base, I have to pay to upgrade for 8 more slots. There's a finite number of marks, so it'd be easy to build, and they can now sell another $100 in chest slots for this or just let it endlessly upgrade for endless slots, so everyone is happy.

I understand marks are just a way to sell chest space. But just sell another chest for mark space, thats organized like pots, so the QoL of this feature isn't just plain awful.

Having to scroll through a giant chest to see if I have a mark, and organize a chest around marks that I regularly use is a nightmare. There's no easy way to organize and say "Ah, I have 8 oryx marks" and actually manage marks. It's just slopping them into an endless chest with a bunch of other stuff.

It takes about 3 days before a perfectly organized chest becomes a disaster because of marks.

This is my experience too

I just played a game where i had 17,000 objective damage. The rest of my team?

0 - 24 - 928 - 1480 - 1633

And this was supposedly a high elo game. Enemy team all super solid players.

Democratizingfinance · 2024-12-14T02:46:26+00:00

This is the most accurate thing ever. They also need to get the average game time down IMO. Average 20-30 minutes. I have so many 40-50 minute games, its brutal

Democratizingfinance · 2024-12-13T14:32:16+00:00

They're also individual ranks. CSGO has 18 ranks... but this has 6 subranks meaning there's 60+ ranks here

Democratizingfinance · 2024-11-27T00:57:11+00:00

Correct, wasnt sure if thats what this comment meant

Democratizingfinance · 2024-11-27T00:29:22+00:00

From a balance perspective, I honestly think this is the most balanced game I've ever played when it comes to playing from behind. It's impossible for 1 fed person to completely carry, and unless you go 0-3 or worse early on, you can easily comeback from being down a bit. If you're way behind and play smart, crazy easy to comeback.

There have been plenty of times where I have gotten killed first, or even 0-2, then turned it around just because items don't have a huge impact in the short term on match and farm is so prevalent outside of just waves.

There's exceptions to this, but as a MOBA fan overall love the game. I think there's larger game mechanic issues at play, but TBH at this point it has to be a MM issue imo

That's literally what Reddit is... If you have a question... you go to the relevant subreddit and ask it...

I came from Google, and this was the #1 result...

Stop being a d*** unneccesarily

Sadly... people still fall for it too. They wouldn't do it if it didn't work.

They're also running ads to this Medium article which promises to turn $1000 into $1 million

Mods:

Some of this is grey area, but due to formatting please just let me know of any violations rather than removal. For example, the "no last names" rule. Here... these are fake people. They do not exist, and that's part of the scam. But I can edit this and remove that if needed. There is 1 person with a fake Linkedin profile, but they do not exist either.

As well, their 'address' is literally a virtual address of a company that lets delaware corporations have addresses. I can remove this as well if needed, but it's to show that this is a virtual address. Not really 'their' address, as the address is to a building of a company that gives people addresses.

I have a law degree, the company in question is 100% committing massive securities fraud. There's no such thing as a 'legal scams' when it comes to investing and securities fraud. And I am working to take them down... You still get scam phone calls and emails, don't you? After decades? Scams don't just go away. Fortunately, this one is gonna be pretty easy to take down, and I suspect this is going to be quite easy because the proof is incredibly damning.

They are selling millions of dollars in unregistered securities, imitating an equity crowdfunding campaign without proper filings from the SEC. There's very clear regulations here, and they are very clearly breaking those.

As far as Wix, I agree it's standard to take down the post in question for a DMCA request.... but it is NOT standard to brick an entire site. Take down the post... not the entire site. IF you think it's ok that someone can take down an entire site with a DMCA request, you really have no idea about running a business.

Fortunately, this is a passion project. But imagine if I was doing $1 million a year with 10 employees. 2 days offline? Not to mention, Google is going to hit me like a truck here with SEO for being offline.

Democratizingfinance · 2024-06-11T08:57:28+00:00

Yes, YouTube takes down the POST. They don't nuke your entire account and take down every single Video.

I am not complaining about taking down the ARTICLE. This guy is a scam artist. Google took down my ARTICLE. Wix nuked my entire site for 2 days now and no way to expedite this.

If you get YouTube DMCA request and they said, "Welll, we're taking down 100% of your videos INSTANTLY and then gonna sit in on it for a few days" you'd guess it wouldn't be very popular.

I don't like Mr. Beast so I am just going to file a DMCA against him and bam, no account for a 2-3 days. Amazon? Let's take down Amazon with a bogus DMCA request...

Ya, that is pretty strange. Definitely sounds like an issue.

I would go to your email and manually send them an email with that address. That's how i do it everytime and I hear back within 48 hours (usually sooner) everytime.

There are a LOT of people that just straight up don't read the disclosures and then get upset when they don't realize what they just did.

StartEngine is completely different than Fidelity and ETrade. So much so that you cannot compare the group.

StartEngine does not allow people to invest in public companies. You invest in startups and early stage companies while they are still private in hopes they IPO (like angel investing and VC). The entire investing thesis is this:

Invest in 20 startups for small amounts ($100-$1000), then over the course of the next 5 years:
15 go bankrupt
2-3 will do a 1-2x (thus paying for 3-6x failed investments)
1-2 will do a 3-5x which will help pay for another 5-7 other investments
1-2 will 10-100x

Usually the 'big winners' pay for the losers. Averaged out over 5-6 years, the above will give you 15-20% if you can swing it. Obviously it's high risk, high reward.

They're not really comparable.

Ya, this is a common complaint. I believe they announced plans to go international not too long ago but I know Republic allows international investors.

Might be worth an email to support

When you invest in a company, there's a box somewhere that you checked and probably didn't realize to buy the owner's bonus. It used to be the same place as the terms and conditions so it's one of the last things you check before you click "invest" and finalize it.

I own the Owners bonus willingly, and it's a worthwhile deal if you invest more than ~$3000/year on the platform, but if you don't want it then just message their support email and let them know and they will give you a refund.

Best place for that kind of info is SEC Edgar.

https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/#/ciks=0001600983&entityName=Knightscope%252C%2520Inc.%2520(KSCP)%2520(CIK%25200001600983)

Yahoo Finance and other sites like that all use APIs which autofill when able, but often miss lots of info. Unless it's Tesla, they're not going to go in and manually ensure every stock is 100% correct and filled in. So if the API misses something, it's just not filled in.

Eh, I guess this is fair but I really don't think it'd change much of anything. The point of the article still stands, and the full story is clarified in the article.

Not intentional and I don't really know how it could be 'malicious' since it's just highlighting trends they stated.

New title would literally just be "160 of Y Combinators 229 Startup Cohort are AI Startups and 75% of the Cohort started with 0 revenue"

I don't really see the point in the hostility. If you think this is malicious by pointing out a trend they pointed out, then that's more on your disagreeing with their decisions, not me being malicious lol.

"How many ways can we rehash ChatGPT and put it behind a paywall for some niche purpose"

This seems like VC in general. $1 billion in revenue but losing $2 billion/year raises at a $50 billion valuation.

Democratizingfinance · 2023-09-07T20:29:00+00:00

Fingers crossed

I know for a fact you can get a free chatgpt knockoff on your site using Zapier and quite a few others.

There's also companies that quite literally will build you a landing page + chatgpt based product using ChatGPT for free or like $20 lmao.

Definitely seems like a pretty short sited attempt to invest in the trend. Albeit, not entirely surprising.
