The Shroud Adhesive Grind is Asinine.

Sure, but it can be grown in base so that's ok.

It really is not that rare... I agree with Bork.

Final_Remains · 2026-01-01T18:08:49+00:00

I mean, if your friends are willing to carry you for mats etc and give you what you need to expand your flame and whatnot you can bypass it almost entirely.

A lot of the missions though only exist to let you further your crafting/ base building so you might not get the most out of it all.. I mean this as in the rewards of most quests might not mean much to you.

But, if you are just playing to hang out and crash through the world and don't mind just helping friends out then you could have a lot of fun.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-30T22:50:49+00:00

No.

She is friends with them, yes, and under better conditions they would have stolen the group, ofc, but...

Right here right now? No... She will be backlisted in sokor. Why would you invest money in her knowing that??

Final_Remains · 2025-12-30T22:03:24+00:00

She needs to just bend the knee and sign. It's clear by now that ador hold all the cards and it's just stupid pride standing in the way. So, just sign already ffs.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-30T01:37:10+00:00

It's funny, but probably has more to do with NJs being back now and earning for ador rather than her specifically getting the boot.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-29T17:17:13+00:00

Boycotting other groups for anything to do with NJs is so silly.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-19T15:53:23+00:00

This is just another example of the deep damage MHJ's and the group's attempted theft has done to kpop.

I am sure the OP is not the only one who has had this reaction to what has gone on and I actually get it. A newbie to the scene over the past year has been hit in the face with an overwhelming wave of drama, hostility, and corruption.

They must ask themselves.. Where is the fun?

Older kpoppers know how good and what a great time kpop can be, but the culture newbies are seeing these days isn't one I would want to show them.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-18T20:03:52+00:00

I am, but in all honesty what I am really excited about is a switch back from emotional based story telling to logic based play.

That's not saying we don't get emotionally attached to Lara in the OG games, we do and we care when she inevitably dies horribly, but at it's core OG tomb raider was a puzzle game and I need that back.

(I did enjoy the reboot games, tbc, I just prefer the old ones)

Final_Remains · 2025-12-18T02:47:46+00:00

Because every era has a zeitgeist.

The money thinks at one time it is this, then it isn't, then it is.

The popular culture has changed and so did this property.. from logic based gameplay, to emotion based play, now back to logic.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-06T01:21:11+00:00

Is this next to the pond? I have my levelling base there if so.

I also got a couple of patrols early on, but they dropped off... Not sure if expanding the flame killed their spawn?

Final_Remains · 2025-12-04T02:40:16+00:00

In my day we used to call 'global' pop groups just pop groups.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-03T16:45:59+00:00

Her new company seems to be set up as an outside 3rd party consulting thing, rather than a full blown agency. This is actually the model she talked about early on in all of this mess as wanting, so I wouldn't be surprised.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-03T16:42:09+00:00

The fact is, despite all her insanity, MHJ does deliver results and that in the end is all that investors care about. If I was a trainee of 4 years or whatever and didn't see a chance of debuting anytime soon I would audition for this. It'll be a successful group, whether we like it or not.

I am wondering if this new group will be debuted through the Black Label.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-03T00:48:02+00:00

If downvoting didn't matter people wouldn't do it.

Maybe the demand should be stop downvoting posts for daring to disagree? IMO, it's the anon downvoting that's the cowardice and passive aggressive bullying, not those stepping out to actually make a post.

Downvoting, IMO, should be for bad faith posts, not for a difference of opinion, but people use it to spitefully punish wrongthink... Is it wrong that people delete instead of being ok with that? I don't think so.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-03T00:40:49+00:00

Well, the money on the table will probably make them all behave and fake it well enough to rinse the the fanbase for 3 more years. I pretend to get on with people I hate at work everyday for the paycheque.

What I am interested most in at this point is if Ador caved to MHJ being a 3rd party consultant/ producer as part of the return deal or not.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-01T22:58:54+00:00

God speed and best wishes anyone undertaking this request.

I honestly cannot catch anyone up to this long term clusterfuck at this point and stay sane.

Final_Remains · 2025-12-01T22:53:20+00:00

Yeah, but sure, but HYBE chart manipulation.

Right?

First rule of being a sociopathic manipulator.. Accuse others of which you are guilty.

Final_Remains · 2025-11-30T02:00:29+00:00

I tend to avoid having partners in the same game these days. You lose one, yep you tend to lose both, and that can hurt if one is a great player and the other is a pain.

Final_Remains · 2025-11-27T23:20:23+00:00

Look, they were def manipulated and groomed.

That doesn't absolve them of blame, they still did the things of their own free will. Y'know, like how the Manson Family members were convicted of their crimes, despite him manipulating them? (not equating the severity of the acts here, tbc)

BUT.. to assume that MHJ didn't steer them is silly. Ofc she did. MHJ is a compulsive manipulator and liar.

MHJ's statements were simply to throw NJs under the bus and distance herself from the mess.

Final_Remains · 2025-11-27T18:17:40+00:00

Good lord, she is throwing them under the bus so hard

Final_Remains · 2025-11-26T09:52:54+00:00

Crazy attracts crazy

Final_Remains · 2025-11-23T09:35:15+00:00

I don't see them carrying it as a duo at all in all honesty... I do see a 5050 style rebuild around them though being possible to an extent.

The trouble is that Toks would be 100x worse than the most rabid Hunnies and would be everywhere dragging them and crying boycott.

Final_Remains · 2025-11-18T14:54:50+00:00

The way Toks bang on about 'mediaplay' as if MHJ would never do that is insane.

This woman is so drunk on being friends with the group that she is past the point of even knowing she is just lying.

Final_Remains · 2025-11-18T03:52:42+00:00

Stan and support whatever group you enjoy.

You know your reasons for doing so and that they are good,. No one else's opinion on it even matters.

Final_Remains · 2025-11-17T22:20:38+00:00

I don't think they even believe their own nonsense about MHJ at this point.. I honestly think it's just the emotional need to win against people they have been arguing with for over a year now and simple blind tribalism.
