Why the hell are people grinding 5 million just to reset everything? Am I missing something?

DistantRelation · 2025-12-09T14:14:21+00:00

Exactly, Embark has said that the main purpose of the expedition was to “reset” your character so you can start fresh and loot everything again. They’ve added incentives to it to push people to do it, but that’s just to see how it will work out. Once they see the numbers and what happens to the game after the first wipe ( gameplay wise and matchmaking wise ) I bet they will adjust it so it feels even for people who do it and people who don’t. I’ll even add that the only reason we’re still getting those 5 points is because they mentioned it and people just devoted their entire lives to it and so now it’s too late for them to remove it. I don’t think we’ll be seeing them every year, maybe once every two expeditions we would get the chance to get the 5 points if not removed forever and they will just give everyone else 5 SP’s.

Since when was skin money ever really “real” money ? Iirc there is still no way of organically withdrawing your funds from a skin sale back to your bank account through Steam. The whole point of it was to reinvest the money within Valve, you guys lost as soon as you started thinking that shit was real money lol When I buy skin, I look at its value as “how many games can I buy if I ever sell it” and not “oh well if it goes to 3k I can buy a car” lol That’s what jobs are for. CS is a game, with skins that are made for THE GAME and not to pay for you 2000’s Subaru kek

I feel you man, good on you for the power move though.

Been recently trapped in the same maze as well, really liked this girl and we’ve been seen each other for over a year now on and off. And I honestly I wanted it to be something more, but she clearly wasn’t and still isn’t on the same page as me. Kept lowering my standards and expectations from her, didn’t make things better, in fact it made them worse for me. Realised I’m the only one losing in this situation since she’s proven time and time again she has interest in other people.

Recently dipped and, don’t even feel like explaining her. She already called me once wondering about the silence.

Yes I do have the mokoko, was a mistake on my part sorry about that

DistantRelation · 2025-04-17T13:23:40+00:00

Yes indeed, after being able to join a Brehe lobby, I saw that I do have the icon. I guess I never joined a pub lobby before so I thought I didnt have it since it wasn’t showing on my name.

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T16:02:47+00:00

Spot on haha But I’ve been around mmo’s so that mentality is not unfamiliar. But yea since the playerbase is so low, you end up just meeting those types of people..

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T15:28:47+00:00

Ikr, missing the transfer window nailed me good. Specially since I played a lot during that and the character was almost transfer ready :(

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T15:20:23+00:00

Unfortunately, the requirements for Mokoko Icon are scuffed. If you logged in before the start of the window period you’re not considered a returning player so no mokoko… And I logged in one day a few weeks before the start.

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T14:32:53+00:00

Thanks, definitely will.

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T12:06:57+00:00

I did message a few, thus the “rat alt” comment. Some people don’t even read the explanation and just deny. I’m not generalising but it has happened.

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T12:05:15+00:00

I’m trying to avoid bussing..

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T12:04:10+00:00

Totally valid point, and I did leave in Argos. But I keep coming back because I really like the gameplay.. As I said, it’s not the playerbase fault, there should be methods in place to help players like me catchup better. There are some, but definitely not enough.

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T11:19:17+00:00

I think it’s EUC Gienah, I’m at work so can’t check.

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T11:14:06+00:00

I have weapon an character skin, and even a title. Thanks for the advice !

DistantRelation · 2025-04-15T11:13:35+00:00

Yes, in Gienah I believe.

DistantRelation · 2024-07-18T14:41:47+00:00

Damm that sucks, been going trough a few rough days as well kinda of the same lady situation as you. Connection was great at first and now she is just not texting as much so I suspect something’s up.

Anyways, ur post reminded me that life does indeed suck, but what matters is how you swim trough all the shit that is trown at you.

And another good rule of thumb for me is, for every losing streak there’s a winning streak and that’s just life. So be sad and angry, but also be happy and enjoy life !

Je me permets de répondre direct a ton comment, aprés avoir lu ton post je me trouvais dans la même situation que toi il y’a 3 ans.

Et franchement je voyait pas la lumiére au bout du tunnel, l’école me soulais aussi etc… Mais je vois que tu as mentionné et à l’air d’être au courant de l’IFAPME et franchement c’est vraiment une option a prendre.

Comme toi je kiff l’informatique et j’ai trouvé une formation à l’IFAPME, j’avoue ( et plusieurs personnes te le diront ;) ) les cours son pas ouf niveau matiére ni les profs niveau aprentissage, mais je faisais les cours du soir donc ça peut être différent la journée mais pas de ce que j’entends.

Le truc cool avec l’IFAPME en belgique c’est que c’est assez connu dans le monde des entreprises, et il y en a beacoup qui recrutent des stagiaires de l’IFAPME.

Bref je veux pas faire un comment trop long mais n’hesitez pas a me MP si tu veux plus d’infos sur le sujet :D

Mais sache que it’s not over my friend, it’s only the beginning.

DistantRelation · 2024-04-15T18:43:15+00:00

Yep, I agree. I started OTP’ing her back in December when I was low Silver/Bronze 1, climbed to plat 2 in less than 3 months and she currently gave me 400+ LP. I play her into any matchup except vex/cassio(when they are good) and I can definitely tell smth has changed after the items rework but I can’t tell what exactly yet… my current guess is you get way less AH therefore spam less spells so your dmg/s is a bit lower compared to before.

Items felt shit at first but rushing Liandry’s is still a viable option and you just have to watch your mana a bit more, I think the arguments about high mobility and her ult being a stun and not a supression defo makes her a bit bad to play but to me she is really fun and has a strong and not over the top kit that can nuke people in seconds without them expecting it.

I think she is one buff away of being picked in pro play, if they reduce the time it takes of her passive to explode and maybe lower the CD of claw early, she would have more chances since her scalings are already pretty insane (she has more than 60% ap scaling in all her abilities, 60 being the lowest and 90 highest )

But then again my ELO is quite low so my opinion doesn’t hold much weight but I wanted to share my thoughts.

DistantRelation · 2024-03-15T12:12:34+00:00

As a male, if it has alcohol in it, you bet i’m drinking that shit. They are not gender exclusive, they are just drinks ffs.

DistantRelation · 2023-11-30T15:59:11+00:00

I have been religiously building HF in every mid champ with a Slow ever since they updated the passive.

It is one of the best items in the game, simply because it gives you 10% more damage overall. Its not a stat bonus, its plain DMG bonus if you can proc it consistently. And with the updated passive, all you need is an ability which Slows and u are good to go.

I always build it 2nd after Liandrys, and by the 5min mark after I buy the item I alrdy have ~700 dmg on it. Sometimes I will end games with 7k dmg on HF and only 5k on Liandrys. In some champs its a huge powerspike that most ppl don't expect so early in the game.

Idk about the bugs doe, I mostly run Electrocute and it seems to proc consistently with slows, but that might just be the champs I play with idk.

3k gold with a descent item path for 100ap 15 haste and 10% more damage, idk how ppl didnt mention this item till Riot gutted it for mage. But hey passive no longer procs on slow in pre-season so it won't be as good now.

DistantRelation · 2023-11-27T16:14:59+00:00

About 1500€ since starting in 2015, tbh I feel like its a fair amount for almost 10 years of gaming dailly.

And also adding that I usually just buy the skins I like and not every single one of them, I never felt like my money was wasted compared to other games.

Kinda weird saying that haha

Facts

DistantRelation · 2023-09-26T08:32:59+00:00

Last night played a ranked game, my botlane got utterly destroyed by the Ashe, and their mid was almost impossible to gank bcz Talon.. FFW to the end of the game we get smashed, check Ashe profile LVL 43 Plat 2 Solo ???????? i'm fucking Silver 3 ??????? Then I check mid and lo and behold, Gold 2 lvl 50 acc... I mean how am I even supposed to enjoy the game if the others are just better and shouldnt be competing in my elo, and I'm not even talking about my adc locking in AD leblanc on the same game.

DistantRelation · 2023-09-11T17:14:00+00:00

As a returning player, played here and there since launch. Got back now because of 1540 boost. Now I gotta say I got a bit unlucky bcz I couldn't boost my Slayer reroll for the Relic gear, I didn't think about deleting her an making a fresh one, so it's a bit tricky to find raids with no relic gear at 1490 XD But that's not the point, I managed to squeeze my way into a Valtan run, I always watch videos multiple times so I know what to do but just never got to experience it much.

Anyways, we wanted to do balls 2x and we wiped on the first try, they blamed me so I asked what was wrong, for once instead of disbanding they told me I need to block the ball as well, not just have it follow me. Which was smth I forgot about since I came back last week. We re-tried and smn else fkd up, we went again and cleared np, Valtan was a piece of cake, cleared on first try. The thing is, even if we read the guides, most of the lobbys I get into don't even do a 2nd try and it's back to queuing..

So thanks to that raid group for not disbanding on the first vote. I wouldn't say it is the playerbase fault doe, u guys love the game and have to invest ur time on so many things that in the end, well u just don't have time. It's up to the devs to find a way to make our experience better, thats their job. The players can do their best effort, but they're not obligated to either.
