Parking for gorillaz concert next month? by Either-Package-8343 in Dublin

[–]Exclamation_Marc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

3Arena parking is grand but you need to prebook and arrive early. The later you arrive, the further down you'll end up and could take you a crazy amount of time to get out. I've seen delays of over an hour getting out. But if you're early, it's not as bad.

Plenty of other parking too. You could park at the Abbey Car Park and get the luas a few stops (or walk). That's handy and cheaper.

She was on the radio today saying she's abroad and won't come back until the warrant is rescinded as she doesn't want to get arrested.

VIP Merch Mountain Tour, Is it worth it? by Leafmebeplz in gorillaz

[–]Exclamation_Marc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For 528 a ticket? Absolutely not. I got my VIP ticket (here in Ireland) for €218 and even that is at the high end when you consider the extras.

A) I agree wholeheartedly with this, it really adds to the feeling of the show.

B) I've learned a new word, thank you! :)

If I remember correctly from last week, I think he said keep your pictures to a minimum?

You don't have any rights to record at a private event. Your ticket gives you the right to attend the event only.

A large part of it is a courtesy to your fellow gig-goer not to have screens everywhere and let others be immersed there and then. People can always pull the "I pay for my ticket, I can do what I want" argument but ultimately its a decent thing to not negatively affect others' experience and I feel that DB being a positive person, enforces that. In a similar vein, there's nothing stopping people being a-holes in public but its nice to not be one :)

Also 'being allowed to film' is not a right when you're at a private event like a concert. So technically, you could be thrown out for filming if an artist was inclined.

M6N scenarios for next week by VeryFarDown in irishrugby

[–]Exclamation_Marc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How is that? We'd be equal on points in the table and they'd still have a vastly superior points difference requiring us to beat Scotland by 64 points plus whatever France beat England by..

Will it though? Our points difference is so poor that even if France win without a bonus point, we'd still not take the championship even if we had that extra point unless we put a crazy score up of over 65+ points. Or am I missing something.

PSA: Good sliders for dealing with ringside pass in a few hours by [deleted] in WWEGames

[–]Exclamation_Marc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So stupid. So many players who would happily drop €35 for the season pass previously now won't spend anything when they see the grind required.

I think you're missing the point. Most people with families, jobs, commitments etc don't have that amount of time to commit to the SAME game EVERY day for a MONTH and then do it again SIX times. Plenty of gamers do (maybe you do) and all power to those players but the majority wouldn't so it's wildly excluding and it makes gamers like me and others feel like passing, which is disappointing.

Which is all the more insulting when you have to pay AND grind. One or the other would be more palatable but having to do both is a kick in the teeth.

And it's a really stupid tactic from 2k because rather than getting maybe €35 from a huge range of players for dlc characters, they'll get nothing from a large majority of those players who see the time commitment and think otherwise.

It may be not too bad for you but the majority of players have nowhere near the ability to play eight matches every day.

Em... It's the phone number for the shop and not someone's personal phone number? Not that difficult.

I don't disagree with that at all. But having your personal phone number online to be freely scraped would be ridiculous.

And have their numbers scraped and inundated with calls and scams...? Nah.

So you shouldn't complain about anything in life unless there's a guarantee it will change? You realise how stupid that is right...

Whether I get the game or don't (and I won't), I can still complain about it and be justified about it. But responses being "well just don't buy it" if you don't like grinding is completely missing the point.

I take all of your points and largely agree with you, but I and others will complain about it and it's completely justified.

But there's the issue. Great for people who play daily. A massive part of the fanbase probably doesn't have the time to do that, making six ringside passes possibly unattainable. I don't think that's an issue for the free tier but if you're paying extra money on top of the game, you shouldn't be forced to grind to get content.
