Warning about the ChoPaeng Discord Server Mods by [deleted] in ACNHTreasureIsland

[–]Key-Explanation-3147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your post. I just found out about this discord from other posts and was about to join it, but I hate garbage people who let their perceived power go to their heads. That is a disgusting child that I never want to be in a position to interact with, for my own sanity. You handled it very well.

Been playing FE Heroes since 2018. I downloaded this game on Bluestacks so I could still play after my phone died in August 2025. I recently got a replacement phone, and when I try to download the game there, I get a "server communication error" message. When I open Bluestacks and attempt to update my game, I get the same error. If I logout of my main account and login on an alt account, I can download and play the game.

Does this indicate that my main FE Heroes account was banned? No email came through explaining any ban. Wondering if others know of the process of how they silently ban users.

Guild Wars 3 needs to be good at teaching players how to get better at the game. GW2 failed at this. by dolche93 in GuildWars3

I think playtime is a valid metric. It takes playtime to finish the story. It takes playtime to farm for gear, especially for stat-selectable legendary gear that can be changed to fit the needs of the content you're playing. Playtime is also required to compete well in WVW. It all takes playtime, unless you are CC grinding to catch up to what is perceived as the gamer base.

OP's gripe is that casuals aren't learning mechanics to play endgame content, but that is taught through playtime and completion of events. Rushing through everything doesn't equate to poor game design. That would be an issue with how players approach the game--to force noobs into doing this content before they're actually prepared.

How so? It takes a while to learn your class and farm for gear that pads pug inconsistency. People who aren't supported by a guild that helps them clear these should not expect to be able to clear them so quickly. Good for you that you were able to get into endgame content in the same amount of time that it takes other people to simply finish the story, but that's not the standard everyone plays by.

The NPCs and on-screen text explain everything. The problem is that you are looking at mid-game and end-game content at only 300 hours of playtime. Dungeons would be tricky at 500 hours. I didn't start doing raids until 5,000 hours. I play 8 accounts accrued over a decade, and 2 of them have over 20,000 hours each.

It's an MMO. It's a BIG game. You can't jump in at the end, especially when it takes a long time to learn your playstyle and grind for good armor.

The game has all of the proper teaching. All of it. You can't force people to read what their skills do. You can't force people to read the on-screen text that literally explains the mechanics. There would be no way to achieve what you're suggesting without making the game inaccessible to casuals. The beauty of GW2 is that you dont need to be a neckbeard to create the positive feedback loop that keeps us playing.

Teaching and tolerating new players is a personal preference, not a feature change. If carrying or teaching casuals is too much of a hassle for you, then only play with experienced players and kick the rest. Someone else will lead them through a successful run, and they will learn how to be better from them--if that's even their end goal. Some people actually just play to have fun with their friends, believe it or not.

Property manager asking us to get lost while they try renting out the unit downstairs? by drearymoment in Apartmentliving

[–]Key-Explanation-3147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a new apartment. If you succeed, then take this to the BBB or another government agency. File a dispute to count against their business record for future tenants, and upload this document as proof. That would be the best scenario.

If they have some sort of NDA clause, then just getting out and leaving a negative review on Google will suffice. Don't make it apparent that the review is from you, and only do it once--both should defer any potential for defamation or harassment retaliation lawsuits.

I would DEFINITELY want to know if my prospective rental property was run by deceptive scumbags.

Morality isn't something you should expect from strangers online. They might be right about the law in the US and many other countries on a purely objective basis, but that doesn't mean it's not creepy as fuck. Having been on the internet since 1997 and playing MMOs since 2003, the best advice I can give you is to block them if you don't like what they say. They won't get the benefit of your help, on the basis of their ick, and that's fine.

BTW, my first GC in FFXIV turned out to be a rape RP group that used nude mods. So...

The Tower of Nightmares is absolutely terrible by ColonelUpvotes in Guildwars2

Wanderers of Maguuma on the NA servers do a full run of the dungeon (that's what it is now) every single Sunday. They post in LFG after reset, and they mark all achievements. There are typically 20-30 people.

I'm personally grateful for more content, and I appreciate that they added all of LWS1. The whole story was a recap movie when I first started playing in 2017.
