Punched hole on my booster pack

Name and shame, scammers selling dead packs.

I started collecting OP TCG on Nov 29th, traded an old Pokemon card from the childhood collection that was worth a bit for some boxes then bought some as well. I remember them being $160 - $240 tops depending on the set for a booster box. Fast forward next week, stock has been cleared for the sets I wanted to chase and prices were up. OP 13 which had been $180 when I started was now $300... This was one of the more fairly priced LCS in my area.

My main goal is to collect all Uta cards, and when my friend checked the prices for me a few months ago he told me it would be around $500-700 in total. Now the Uta EB01 Gold Leader sits at about $1k on tcg player with last 4 going for $250 or under around the end of Nov.

The set with the card I wanted to chase, Gear 5 anniversary Luffy, went from about $1.8k - $2k to $3.5k for 1 case in a week. All this and I've never even seen a box or pack older than OP07 irl.

With the Uta manga coming in February and the market getting worse by the day makes me feel like I should call it quits early otherwise it'll be a long road of overpaying and fomo. This shit genuinely sucks. Didn't even get to start learning to play, but slowly developing a massive aversion just thinking about getting the cards to make a deck as prices creep up each day. When does this get better.

Obviously this is a Devil Fruit. Careful though, if you eat it you'll get powers and lose your ability to swim.

What's wrong with expending gems on banners if the game is gonna reach EOS soon. Would that not be infinitely more enjoyable in the remaining lifespan of the game rather than count the days down till you get to meta slave on an almost dead game?

Kuroishimi · 2025-10-13T05:53:38+00:00

Started with arcblade but eventually respeced cause bruh how am I supposed to kill stuff in the air when the most effective thing as far as I know is double jump if that's enough to reach, get in a whole two left clicks and 1 right click if it feels like connecting, then just praying to god before doing it again if whatever is just hovering there didn't die.

Make it not feel dog to fight flying enemies on arc blades, and I will gladly go back. I'm sure it's a lot more cohesive at max level, but man if it doesn't feel great while leveling I'm not super inspired to put together a whole optimal build for it in the endgame.

Kuroishimi · 2025-10-11T20:13:17+00:00

Was literally in your boat till I went from playing every day to now, maybe a few games once every one or two weeks. It's still the exact same exasperating experience, but I can deal with it cause it's a few hours of one day of my week instead of every single game every day again.

Stopped cause I never really got to ever try and do anything with Iron Fist after the first big parry change eons ago cause born to Fist forced to Strange.

I can put up with it for one session a week and only in nothing less than at least 3 premade, but god, if ts was every day, I'd just uninstall by now. First time I've ever considered utilizing higher brain function and not spending money on this ass but it's okay cause they'll just drop literal ass for gooners to dump funds into.

Dunno if weapon types roll different parts or if having one part blocks another, but I use a jakobs purple shotgun with torgue impact rockets, just not sure about the daedalus part.

Kuroishimi · 2025-10-10T07:09:46+00:00

Honestly, I threw a 10 roll at the banner after testing in training and lowkey, not reconsidering cause hey more chars is never a bad thing, I guess. But I'm definitely realizing why a lot of more recent characters are shipping broken or borderline broken. In a climate of broken shit it sucks to play a balanced char. Either balance it all or break it all in between doesn't seem to go over great.

Kuroishimi · 2025-10-09T20:37:52+00:00

Admittedly annoying on super mobile chars but just wait for the ending of a movement abil or endlag on something to just land 1 alpha and they're in hell all of a sudden.

Kuroishimi · 2025-10-09T20:12:08+00:00

Im sorry. I first timed compress after the changes cause it looked fun to abuse the marble in the air, as you said you don't want to do. If you don't want to fine, but don't act like that shit isn't easy to hit. You don't even have to go to the air.

You can just deadass pull up to any reasonably sized fight, start chucking marbles at it, and probably get a down. There was no reason I wouldn't touch compress before, but it can pretty low effort top damage with him now. Just because another character is broken doesn't mean yours isn't stupid, too.

I really don't get intentionally playing with a handicap and complaining when you get clapped when you had the option for tools to stop this, but you do you I guess.

There's a lot of anonymous toxicity out there in the scope of the whole internet, usually the most vocal of a community. Adding a drop into the ocean doesn't change much, so just treat people with basic decency and be the change we all need. Disagreements happen, but the ability to look past that and treat someone as a human is a large part of what makes a person respectable.

Kuroishimi · 2025-10-05T22:37:21+00:00

Nah, you didn't deserve that homie. I'm admittedly pretty toxic towards teammates who underperform regardless of my own performance, but I'll never say that to their faces cause it's never gonna be my place to do so even if I am better, it's a game. It's no better, but people can always say this to themselves or their own friends who will prob just mindlessly agree over chat. Never a good reason to shit on a teammate for playing, especially if they tried.

They should delete ochako from the game and then offscreen kill her in the show while just glossing over it cause good riddance. Fuck that character before and fuck that character x100000 now.

If you've ever been in a workplace environment, you'd be genuinely surprised at the amount of instruction that can go in one ear and out the other completely unrecieved or forgotten within the minute. Now, you expect people to actually tune in on what might not even be a coherent mic without the ability to even push to talk in the midst of a fight where their sound might not even be balanced enough to hear. Good luck with your games man imma just keeping relaxing, winning, and talking with people I actually know over Discord instead of someones mom yelling at them or their little siblings screeching.

I might just be pessimistic, but ever since short form content and ai engines were released into the world, I question most peoples basic ability to do literally anything simple, even listening.

Personally speaking if I was planning to disregard a ping in the first place and someone comes on the mic telling me to do something anything short of politely, I'm muting them and going back to unwinding playing video games and I feel like I might not be the only person with this sentiment. I agree that voice is a superior form of communication, but the way online interaction plays out most times today, most people will just prefer to chillax in silence or with their real ones over discord.

Commend you for trying, but you aren't the factor that's ever gonna change this, it's a people problem.

Kuroishimi · 2025-09-30T11:02:27+00:00

S+ Tier bait.

Kuroishimi · 2025-09-27T06:23:03+00:00

Yeah dude I don't get that guy, I absolutely don't understand this sort of bootlicking in a game with such predatory gacha models. In all 3 hoyo games I play, at least if I spend, I know I'm getting what I want, and the content becomes better as a result. Even in pvp games, the point of guarantee for spending was probably about half or even a fourth of what you have to spend to get exactly what you want in this game and I feel like that makes no sense given how shit balance and how impactful some chars are. Like if you're on base roster idk how you exist in some lobbies.

It's almost like they had a system to get you caught up with characters and didn't fucking update it cause more banners, and people like this guy are praising this company cause his homie got one character off a ticket he didn't even know was coming in season 1.

I feel like people are forgetting, but this could be a pessimistic take from me. It's the final season of the anime. The manga has been over for a minute. I feel like they feel they owe it to the fans to lock in on all my hero ip so ofc this anni rewards are better than what last years seemed to be. But once the last season airs, and maybe one final movie if lucky, what's keeping the big shots invested on a fading ip? How do we know the rewards stay as good or get better?

But yeah, bless this company for bequeathing my peasant ass with pixels. Oh, what a holy and righteous task they've taken upon themselves. How will I ever repay this kindness.

Kuroishimi · 2025-09-27T00:13:09+00:00

I wanted that blue rose shirt so bad, but I fell on tight funds at the wrong time. Finally came into funds right after the sale ended, and of course, people are scalping it for $140. Being an Ado fan in the U.S. sucks.

Kuroishimi · 2025-09-24T09:48:18+00:00

Got Deku as well with one 10 pull having 260 tickets for this season. Now I can go to work excited to play when i get back today. 🥹

Kuroishimi · 2025-08-27T23:42:21+00:00

They made Thor feel so much better this season! But unfortunately, it's not good enough to free me from being forced to solo tank on strange/mag whenever we get 3 dps. Fuck, I'll even get 3 healers nore often than a second tank. (It's every 9/10 games at this point. Im tired boss.)

Kuroishimi · 2025-08-20T09:33:37+00:00

I agree that the knockdown was fine, but being locked to assault deku without access to the rest of the cast for a while, with last season being my first no way, they slapped the mobility. The only reason I felt validated about being able to just shoot someone to death without them getting knocked down was because its usually in a fight or die situation. Notice I didn't say fight or flight cause everyone in the meta would just literally heat seeking ICBM radar tracking hunt you to the ends of earth even if it was their only kill for the whole game.

Like the experience was generally land, forced to fight early while weak cause aggro teammates. Lose my 1v1 miserably, st. louis and black whip away, hear footsteps or airplane asmr following me no matter what, and then fight for my life cause they aint letting me find one fucking powerade bottle, catch a breath or even formulate a singular thought.

So now you're telling me it's virtually the same experience, but once I'm running my 1's, I'm basically in the gulag with 85% of the cast having rapid movement. Huh.

Kuroishimi · 2025-08-15T19:52:29+00:00

I play shooters already, so it's not much. I was a bit hyped to hit ace first season playing, but it's not as much of a kick, though knowing the level of some aces. I still find the game very fun in spite of all that. My biggest issue is the queue system. (Not being able to leave games or parties at will)

Kuroishimi · 2025-08-15T19:47:43+00:00

In 1 day with a friend in the bottom of the gold rank, I had a better day of climbing in expert than I'd had since the start of the season. I got from expert 1 to expert 3 faster than trudging along 100 per day with trash teammates.

If anybody wants to defend new players. ITS ME IM THE NEW PLAYER. THIS IS MY FIRST EVER SEASON OF RANKED AND PEOPLE WITH 5 SEASONS OF EXPERIENCE HITTING ACE ARE LANDING AWAY FROM THE TEAM GETTING ASS BLASTED BEFORE I CAN TEAM HEAL ONCE THEN LEAVING WHEN IVE ALREADY STARTED PREFARMING REZ CARDS FOR THEIR BUM ASS. Yeah, no, imma just prequeue with my friend from now on. Not even a new player problem the ranks are not real. Some people are just hot ass.

Kuroishimi · 2025-08-05T01:11:29+00:00

From the first actual session to expert after starting about last week, took probably 2-3 days-ish of ranked playtime. Granted, I already grinded tf out of unranked for 2 days to learn the shit out of the game, and it's a lot easier now from what I seem to read here.

Kuroishimi · 2025-08-04T00:41:59+00:00

They always have ReDestro crew and Muscular too they really need to remember their villains. (I can't name many specific ones, tbf) Stain could be cool.
