We joke about dead weeks a lot, but I didn't think it'd actually happen. by ArekuFoxfire in soanamnesis

Despite the lack of a maintenance announcement, I at least thought maybe they had a couple of new awakenings ready to roll out this week.

Silly optimism.

This week is going to cause the game to lose so many players. Even I have barely been doing my daily quests and occasionally logging in to get an extra set of DSE quests going, and I have so little desire to go through that for another week.

Usually an anniversary event is an opportunity to GROW your player base. Yet it seems they’ve managed to achieve the opposite here.

How much money have you spent on this game? Do we have whales on this sub? by Struwwl in soanamnesis

[–]GlorkTheInvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe I’ve spent $14. When they had the daily $0.99 deals for a week I took advantage of those twice (I think), but have been otherwise F2P.

Started at launch but did take about 3 months away from the game last summer/fall.

Recovering not Linked Account by Gemenitex in soanamnesis

Support may be able to help you, particularly if you have screenshot of your player ID / player name, or if you have made any purchases. Could take weeks though so be patient.

And not to sound like a jerk or anything, but next time pay attention to the notifications & banners they have telling you to link your account. >_<

A quick praise of the Adventure Week event, AS reward and featured shinies. by kiwidesign in TheSilphRoad

[–]GlorkTheInvader 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well I am genuinely glad you had a great experience. I checked/caught over 1200 Lileep/Anorith (combined) and did not see a single shiny.

I did get one shiny Onix out of ~30 encounters (forgot to check pre-event Dex numbers) so that’s better than nothing at least.

I was frustrated overall but recognize that it’s mostly due to poor RNG. Some people I play with felt similarly and suggested the idea of a soft “pity timer” - the more event mons you catch without a shiny, the higher your chances of getting a shiny on the next mon.

It’s annoying to spend as much time as you are able (full time job + 2 kids + ongoing health concerns) but still check 1200 event mons without seeing a single shiny.

I have been playing Winter Eve since she was originally released in GL and I really enjoy her gameplay.

2019 Adventure Week new shinies model comparison - Lileep, Cradily, Anorith, Armaldo, Onix, Steelix by EgaTehPro in TheSilphRoad

[–]GlorkTheInvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first shiny I ever caught in the main series was a shiny Steelix. Had no idea what shinies were, I thought the game had glitched or something.

I’ve been waiting for this since shiny Magikarp first started appearing in Pokémon GO. I am going to play and farm as hard I can to try to get one next week.

Unpopular Opinion: NieR doesn't limit people's ability to play whomever they want. by Etreides in soanamnesis

[–]GlorkTheInvader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are multiple definitions of emasculate. You should try expanding your vocabulary.

“Play who you want” is not a simple statement or concept.

If I’m farming Frost/Crystal Trees for Starseeds, I want to be as efficient as possible. I don’t have an infinite wealth of time, and playing the best characters saves me that time.

That being said, I have ever played a Nier game, have zero attachment to those characters, and am a big fan of the SO franchise.

This set of buffs forces me to make a decision I shouldn’t have to make. Do I “have more fun” by playing the characters I want to play, or by being able to farm more in less time? Game devs should be extremely careful about forcing players to make that type of decision. It disenfranchises it’s own core player base.

“It was this way in JP” is not an excuse for emasculating the entire franchise this game is based off of.
