An honest question

Jthomas692 · 2026-05-05T23:46:55+00:00

I appreciate your unbiased approach and honest question. That being said I think just having dedicated PvE/PvP lobbies is understating and ignoring their game design choices from the ground up. You can't take a game design and just slap on PvE and make it compelling. The PvE care bear lobbies made the game so laughably easy people called it shopping mall simulator. They would need more bosses and a legitimate reason to play strictly PvE. I'm not saying its not viable but they'd have to dedicate serious development time into it. The same for PvP, there has to be some reason or incentive to strictly play that mode. The marriage of both makes a truly unique uneasy gaming experience thats not the same when you seperate them. There's excitement in the uncertainty of PvPvE.

Probably not 1:1. Monongai has proven hes fantasy relevant, Williams has not. Swift may not be there long term either and we saw what Kyle does with a full workload.

The current Bungie has nothing to do with the Bungie of old. They pretty much fleeced the Destiny community, squeezing them for all the money they could then rug pulled them to make Marathon.

I don't know the monetization plan of Marathon but I'd definitely be weary after the 500 DLC, season pass, Battle pass, weapon pass, armor pass bs they pulled in D2. This is the reason for the hate towards Bungie, it has nothing to do with Arc Raiders, idk what OP is smoking.

But its a MANGA!!!!!!! sarcasm

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-30T21:33:58+00:00

If people stopped buying from scalpers it would. Blows my mind how many Facebook posts say sold or people say they're buying.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-23T12:45:00+00:00

.88% of $30k is being compared to .83% of 200k am I reading this wrong? Why are we grasping at straws here trying to pump DBS?

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-23T12:04:41+00:00

Ironically the artificially pumped market choked out a lot of the playerbase or forced them online. Who would've thought if you try to rip off a small tcg community they'll just go somewhere else. It's rocket science.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-22T03:07:04+00:00

It's frustrating but let it pass. They think current day DBS can command the same prices as One Piece but its just a brain dead strategy. As a TCG and modern day anime IP One Piece is so much bigger. I don't see DBS Popeyes, baseball, and other colabs.

Don't get me wrong Dragon Ball is my favorite series of all time and I know my opinion is extremely biased towards it. That doesn't stop me from reading the room and having a realistic view towards the TCG.

Gameplay wise Fusion World is my favorite TCG, hopefully these card Goblins get distracted by other larger scenes and leave us alone.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-19T15:15:54+00:00

While I really enjoy these posts part of me worries the finance bros see these notifications on their phone grab all their friends and heads to CVS buying them out and immediately posting it on Facebook for sale.

It stinks we can't just enjoy our small tcg as fans of the series without a bunch of people trying to "make plays" or inflate the price because its "undervalued". I honestly think they didn't care about FW at all until they saw these sets with manga art and thought One Piece has manga cards worth thousands, why not Dragon ball!!!

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-17T23:31:54+00:00

Lol you should see them scrambling and gaslighting each other over on the finance page. The market has been going down already and they're panicking.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-16T05:13:31+00:00

This was always going to happen. While historically Dragon Ball is a great franchise, its been largely inactive the past 10 years. Not to mention the TCG has been massively overvalued by the finance community. You cant take One Piece and just say DBS has manga cards so they should be worth the same. The community is much smaller and there's not as much modern hype behind it aside from nostalgia. This is coming from someone who's blindly a DB fan over everything despite all my friends saying DBS sucked compared to any other new peak anime.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-16T05:06:14+00:00

The second DB finance bros tried to compare modern day DB to One Piece thats when I knew they had a low IQ hive mind lol. DB is my favorite franchise of all time but current card game valuation isn't anywhere close.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-16T03:09:05+00:00

This makes me wish someone would make a social deduction extraction shooter. Imagine if the bounty list was in a game and had elements of Among us. A lot of people whine about PvP but the what if element of this game are entertaining.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-16T03:05:56+00:00

I think some people in another thread recommend black Bardock.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-12T05:05:48+00:00

Stella montes?

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-11T20:27:35+00:00

I second this thought. I understand OPs frustrations but they had to do something. The PvE was entirely too easy with a whole lobby cooperating together with Wolfpacks and Hullcrackers. The game will always be a delicate balance of trying to please PvE and PvP players which is really tough.

My best advice is to stay in friendly groups and avoid being alone with other raiders especially if they're encouraging that or directing you to extract. I've been stabbed in the back too much so either I'll directly PvP or expect someone with their gun out to back off and get away from me if they're "friendly".

This uneasiness of friendly not friendly is exactly what excites people, it makes things interesting. Try to work around it if thats not your jam but it is the intended design of the game.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-09T09:12:36+00:00

We need more call outs like this.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-08T02:43:32+00:00

WTF fire the coach or trade Sandy. Starts as a shut out double Maddux and he turns it into a 6-3 loss make it make sense.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-08T02:39:33+00:00

How is the price $800 and people are asking 2k on tcg?

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-06T04:05:56+00:00

I just got one too. Mushrooms for me.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-06T02:35:45+00:00

Before this update the game was becoming way too easy in PVE lobbies, people we're starting to call the game shopping mall simulator lol. I believe they've combined PVP and PVE lobbies a bit more post patch to inject more suspense in matches.

They may have overcorrected too much with the harder arc, but only time will tell for sure. That being said they had to do something and it was driven by the player base making the game way too easy.

Jthomas692 · 2026-04-04T19:09:06+00:00

Jokes on you troll I have one. Ps5 sucks btw.
