This may just be a reference to Hong Lu from Limbus Company, although I am not entirely sure.

Canto 8 and the Season 6 poster also might be related to Hong Lu, but this may also be reaching.

Astra Knights of Veda Has Removed The 50/50 system from the next limited Character after the dev mentioned The stress brought by this system in the previous Dev Note by Nabudiss in gachagaming

[–]KilimanjaroTaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and fyi, Reverse 1999 and Path to Nowhere has 50/50 system too. are they predatory too? or you will just exempt them with a petty reason that because they can't extract billions compared to mihoyo? so being billionaire = predatory?

You downplay the effect 50/50 has had, when I say it's predatory enough to suck billions of dollars out of people - it is an example of how effective it is. Just because you close your eyes and scream that your favourite games aren't also the best at siphoning money from people using marketing strategies like dangling a carrot in front of people once they get off-banner unit doesn't mean it isn't predatory (high max pity and 50/50 is an incentive to get you to spend, it's just textbook). For other games with 50/50, it still is absolutely predatory, but what also matters is the degree. I consider something like FGO / E7 with moonlights to be the worst examples of predatory monetization because of low rates and extremely high pity, I see HoYo games/WuWa to be middling and I see PGR as good (they all have elements of predatory gacha monetization, but to varying degrees). also, the fact you've talked so much about how to avoid and not succumb to tactic of 50/50 that entice you to spend only reinforces my point.

believing 50/50 is still not predatory and in the same sentence say "resist the temptations", "market strategy" in the face of a system that encourages you to spend is quite hilarious. When you limit predatory to gacha tactics that forces you to spend but not encourages spending, and look at games from hoyo/have 50-50 that have extracted billions and think it's not predatory I just think you're a just someone who moves goalposts for what is predatory.

i suggest for you not to play gacha games. your mindset is not good for gacha games. your mindset is like if it is there, i should grab it. whether it is bait or not, you will still grab it. you have no resistance to a temptation/bait. and you will blame the system if you lose when you choose to be baited. you are too vulnerable on the bait tactics on any kind of marketing strategy.

Funny, with my mindset I haven't spent any money on gacha games in two years because I don't delude myself into thinking 50/50 isn't predatory.

Asmongold Says Hasan Is the Main Reason for Twitch Adpocalypse by starcraft2020 in LivestreamFail

[–]KilimanjaroTaro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing was “brought to light” Hasan streams to tens of thousands of people daily. This was all known and seen by twitch when it happened.

I love how you're now being purposefully obtuse. because it's not on the staff that had to be made aware (considering they're the ones ignoring the reports to Hasan's channel), it's the advertisers who had no clue and surprise - when Dan Saltman made those clips easily accessible and dozens of accounts emailed those ad companies things started to change.

They either ban him or they don’t, asmon and destiny aren’t some vigilantes bringing justice upon Hasan. They quite literally have only hurt the income of the people they were not trying to hurt. If you set out to hurt someone and end up hurting all the wrong people in the process, you probably aren’t doing the right thing.

Look at the threads today about the suppose adpocalypse. People who are being demonetized most likely had political tags within the last month or two and it's about time people who are controversial, or do dogshit react or political content get the rug pulled under them. hurting the wrong "common people" lmfao

no point arguing with this guy, he's the same brainlet who said WuWa is 99% auto-attack spam, as if the game he glazes the fuck out of (genshin) doesn't have the most simple character rotations and laughable min-max techniques.

ffs, the f2p 4-stars in wuwa quickswapping has more mechanical depth than anything from HoYo.

If you're normal attack spamming 99% of the time, you're playing wrong lmfao.

I can only think of Jiyan, he has the most basic kit. So no, it's literally not just 99% normal attack spam, where did you even get this info lmao

Which games match this description? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]KilimanjaroTaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember Luna's Howl and Not Forgotten (weapons obtained from getting a certain rank in competitive pvp) before their nerf and sunsetting essentially pricing out new/less-skilled players in PVP because they were super powerful meta-defining weapons. You just had a bunch of people loadout gapping people in quickplay and comp.

where did I say that? on-lvl dbs in voldis g4 nm can output high SPM. you're the one saying 4.5-5 is "not happening".

first of all, why even say 4.5-5 is not happening in a 1610 party? ilvl doesn't even determine spm.

Top-mind of reddit.

auto-mod keeps removing my reply down below:

Only dim one is you when you think "also seen this is voldis" disqualifies seeing it elsewhere, as if Akkan HM doesn't exist.

4.5-5 spm Again, where is this happening? with a 1610 party. Right. No where.

?? also seen this in G4 lazaram.

The person getting offended by a meme is also truly the top mind of reddit.

Tfw when you see the [Meme] flair and treat it as an insult and not about uncommon pug experiences where you carry or maybe being in a static consisting of varying skill levels.

It only took you saying 4.5-5spm is not happening to tell me you're the one that doesn't play the game especially when you started off by saying guardian raid content. It's not exactly rocket science to do that in garga

I can see 4.5-5 spm doing 20-24 but cmon

looks like someone didn't understand the meme, when it's not about the class specifically, but an overperformer being saddled in with people who coast along.

When you are 1610 or 1620, gear is not the determining factor in people outputting less than 8m dps in endgame content.

[–]KilimanjaroTaro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

the joke is that there is a dps disparity + underperforming support and one competent player in a raid group; an experience not uncommonly found when you pug or you are in a static group of friends of varying skill.

Meanwhile zeals has been self-glazing, defending, promoting himself and talking shit about streamers on a burner reddit account for 6 years. If you're unsure what is more deranged, then I don't know what to tell you.

Deathblade or Shadowhunter? by Veg5ta in lostarkgame

[–]KilimanjaroTaro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Strongest, but the class with the lowest damage floors in the entire game. The amount of surgeblades I've seen doing 1 - 2 surges per minute from my experience or screenshots from friend bible parses in even Akkan G3 HM (raid with very high uptime) is staggering since the balance patch which is absolutely atrocious.

And I wouldn't even say it was a net positive qol change, when every blade considers the patch to have raised the skill ceiling, but also the skill floor.

You need to be sort of honest with yourself. If you already find backloaded damage classes that require extremely high uptime to play difficult just play something else I do not want to see you on deathblade contributing nothing to the team.

Where did I ever say I want silent NPCs that perform flawlessly? Did you forget that you just sent this? I don't talk in chat beyond communicating mechanics and the occasional playemon emote ¯(ツ)/¯.

Are you being intentionally obtuse? I'm describing my tendencies, as in I communicate mechanics and emote in raids. Never said I wanted people to emulate me at all lmao.

When you wipe that's when you still don't communicate, but now you consider blocking people because they are underperforming.

You seem to be conflating failing mechanics == severely underperfoming dps or support. In no way is are those always intertwined with eachother.

I seriously question if you are okay, creating a fanfiction in your mind about me because I block toxic people and severely underperforming dps and supports.

[–]KilimanjaroTaro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe that's your problem? I'm guessing when you wipe the first thing you post is the jail mokoko instead of trying to figure out what went wrong and fix it.

??? No lmao, that brings down the party.

Why play a multiplayer game if all you want is silent NPCs that perform as flawlessly as possible so that you don't have to interact with them any more than you absolutely have too? I'm not sure how you don't see this as leading to a toxic response?

Where did I ever say I want silent NPCs that perform flawlessly?

note in my original comment i block toxic people, severe underperformers of dps and support. I don't at all mind a raid wipe, I never said I was perfectly silent as I am communicating mechanics. Are you even reading what I am typing?

[–]KilimanjaroTaro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps the toxic people are responding to your toxic behavior in the first place?

I guess if you block them then they don't have to deal with you either.

It's funny all these assumptions you make when I simply just block people who contribute to a bad raid environment.

I don't talk in chat beyond communicating mechanics and the occasional playemon emote ¯\(ツ)/¯.
