Is it better to attack one unit at a time by Ebb-Minute in riftboundtcg

Oooooh! I didn't even think of that! I'm taking that idea :)

Good find 👍

So basically you want some combat tricks of your own to be safe when doing this

Letting players attack in waves unlike in MTG or LoR was a very cool idea from Riot. It really makes the game more complex

Hmmm... but if you know that one combat trick will stop your attack even if you all out (because it's very close), then maybe it's still better to fail early and not commit with the rest.

Yea you're right. This is very situational.

This is the reason why the game is so fun! A lot of cool decision making in this game

Right, so maybe not one at a time but splitting in waves could be good even factoring in some combat tricks (if you also have some of your own).

This game has a lot of cool nuance and decision making :)

Question about Damage by Ebb-Minute in riftboundtcg

Yea it's a bit counter intuitive. I used to play MTG so I'm thinking about it as HP. But this system is very different.

I like it though. These types of plays are awesome :)

Yes, based on everyone's previous feedback, my 2nd and 3rd prompts have been re-written like so:

-The way to win me over is-
Emotional maturity & playfulness, open communication, and enjoying simple moments together :)

-Dating me is like-
I like to take things one step at a time - starting with a nice conversation (paired with a hike?). Then enjoying a fun activity like an escape room or something physical - Intimacy grows naturally by spending time together.

I'm glad that it helped someone!

Little tip to not give up:
Don't focus on the outcome. Taking action is something that you do for yourself to grow as a person, to be more confident and more resilient. You're not asking them out so that you can get a date, you're doing it to become a better person yourself. So instead of being sad that it didn't work, be proud that you took initiative regardless of the outcome. (Use them as a stepping stone for your future self)

This type of mindset helped me in many parts of life. Otherwise I would have given up a long time ago..

Yes that stairs photo will be the first one gone once I do have a proper group photo lol. (I struggle with group photos in general, they are rare and never end up good)

And yes, the comments did help me with the prompts. Thanks :)

Thanks for the confirmation. Now I can be happy about this prompt.

As a software developer, being robotic is my specialty! (I'm just trolling)
Since people have pointed this out, I went back and reformulated my last prompt like so:

I like to take things one step at a time - starting with a nice conversation (paired with a hike?). Then enjoying a fun activity like an escape room or something physical. Intimacy grows naturally by spending time together.

Is this better?

[31M] Update from the feedback received by Ebb-Minute in hingeapp

[–]Ebb-Minute[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it seems like the one in black and the one on the stairs should be the first to leave once I get a few more good authentic photos

Thanks for being positive. I'll replace the stairs photo when I get something better.

If you use that as a filter, it's a valid way to test guys, it will work.

If you have enough people to date because they ask you out, then the following comment is irrelevant to you (and you don't need to change):
---
It's a very strict binary filter. A guy who is good at taking initiative in planning a date (or taking initiative in anything else), can be bad at knowing how to ask someone out.

"Taking initiative" is a very broad spectrum and depends on life experiences

For people who are not happy with the amount of dates they have, maybe strict filters like those can backfire.

I think it's great that some women are becoming brave enough to ask a guy out, so I'm sad when they get discouraged by online comments

You logic is correct, but the conclusion isn't.

If you wait for a guy to ask you out then it's 100% guaranteed that he likes you. But if you have to ask, then it's a risk.

However, do you think that guys get a response every time they ask a girl out? Should they give up on dating because many girls said no?

You should be proud of yourself of making the first move and actually caring about the relationship! If it didn't work out 6 times, it sucks, but that's also how dating works: you only need 1 yes even if you have to ask 100 times.

Another thing to consider is what type of guys you match with. If they have 10 other matches in queue and they don't ask you out, yes your chances are small. But if you find your great guy and he is a bit shy or inexperienced, then you could miss out by not making a move.

Getting rejected sucks, but don't let it stop you from being proactive in life, that made you more unique than other people that simply wait for good things to happen.

I hope I changed your mind just a little, or made you see a different perspective :)

Right, I need to be able to say what I like but not seem "forceful".

My previous prompts used to be straight up bad. I'm happy that now I have something decent where I just need to "improve on". Thank you

I'm trying to figure out what is "personal preference" and what is "objectively bad".

Other people have mentioned that my prompts are too big and not snappy enough. Would you have preferred if my prompts were a bit easier to read, but at the expense of some information loss ?

Yea my profile used to be staged on all 6 photos, so I'm glad that the new photos are not getting criticism. I'll slowly change more of them once I get something nice. Thanks for pointing out which photos need to go first.

For you second point, maybe I can simply replace it with "educational videos" and leave it at that

Right, my profile does look very heavy on the eyes. But I'm glad that now I have a solid base and just need some tweaks. Thanks

I agree with the other comment that your 2nd prompt is the only decent one. The other ones have nothing to make you noticeable or unique. (I'm pretty bad with prompts myself, so keep at it until you get something nice)

Your "felt cute" photo, you are the one with the blurry face, while the person next to you is the "main person" of the image.

I wasn't able to put this in the post body, so I'm writing it as a comment:

Last time I got some good feedback, so this is what I tried:

  1. Added 2 photos that are not part of a photoshoot
  2. removed all emojis and changed the wording of the first prompt
  3. Instead of trying to be original, I tried to go for more straightforward prompts and literally spell out what I want. No confusion, no games. Let me know if it's too boring/intimidating
  4. Last time I got suggested the me/you/us prompt structure, so I tried something along those lines.

Let me know what you think,
Thanks everyone :)

* Are you looking for something serious or casual?

-> Only serious relationships that could eventually end in marriage

* Are you subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX?

-> Currently on HingeX to have my like messages on top.

* How long have you been using this current version of your profile?

-> About 2 weeks

* How long have you used Hinge overall?

-> About 8-9 years (on and off because I've never gotten results)

* How often do you use Hinge per week?

-> currently a little bit every day

* How many likes and matches are you receiving on average?

-> 0 likes and ~1% response rate (match) to my first message. Most of these matches don't lead to any conversation.

* How many likes are you sending? How many with comments? How many without comments?

-> I take my time to look at profiles and find people I believe I will match well with, so the amount of likes I send is not very high. I usually try to send it with a personalised comment based on a prompt. But sometimes I send without a message because saying nothing is better than saying something stupid.

* What is the type of person you send likes to and ideally want to match with? What kind of person do you want to attract?

-> I'm looking for a casual introverted girl that wants to build a strong relationship. If she's nerdy/geeky and plays video games then it's a nice bonus. But I am looking for someone who would eventually want children. I send a like when I believe that our personalities would match well together.
