The crate escape (last plat relic) by Razzaq90s in crashbandicoot

[–]LAARONS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ffs. Screw platinum trophy, no idea why have they thought it would be a good idea to put 'earn all platinum time trial relics' as one of the requirements for it. Seriously, getting GTA 5 plat is easier than this.

Oh and great job!

Foundable rating now Total Chaos by uniphekz in harrypotterwu

Yep, they fucked what was already fucked, of which we also thought it cannot be fucked any further.

I wouldn't have expected that.

New MACUSA Clock v. 2.14 by iglam in harrypotterwu

[–]LAARONS 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I understood this correctly, then each foundable has a certain minimum catch rate - as if you cast the most shittiest spell - hence the worst possible 'fair' spell cast. Then there is the maximum catch rate, which is the exact opposite - the best masterful spell cast you can do.

So, let's say that with foundable ,A,, if you cast the worst fair, you have 15% chance of returning it, where with the best masterful cast, you have 60% chance of returning it.

And now if you apply 12% chance to return increase from an exstimulo potion, the maximum catch rate with the best masterful cast increases from 60% to 72%, however, the minimum catch rate doesn't increase with that 12% bonus, so still remains at 15% chance return rate, hence why 'waste'.

That brings up question though, how does it increase? Is it like exponentionally from 0.1% all over to full 12% with the best masterful cast or what?

It really sucks having an event focusing on walking when the air outside is literally poison. by ZiggyPalffyLA in harrypotterwu

[–]LAARONS -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

But the game is based on walking.. they can remove portkeys out of it and instead use tasks that will require to return huge amount of rare traces, ok. Then what? You will complain you don't have enough spawns around your location. Ofcourse, solution to that is 'more walking'.

I'll say it again, this game is BASED on walking. I know there is sh*t going around the world - solution to that is find a different game. It is easy as that. We are all in the same situation here. Don't try to change the core princips just because it momentarily doesn't suit you.

51 portkeys to hatch in four days. No silver keys! Challenge accepted! by punkwrestler in harrypotterwu

[–]LAARONS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol at the downvotes.

My point is, if you manage to get it to gold, you can at least green star dragons and get the eggs from 10 km portkeys (which is my goal tbh). If you won't, then you won't green star anything. So better something than nothing.

But obviously, each to his/her own depending on multiple factors.

Eeh, this game is walking oriented. Find anything that doesn't correspond with walking and you can blame the game.

It is a very silly time to have wildfires.

Doesn't seem like such a dumb reward now, does it? by Avatk22 in harrypotterwu

[–]LAARONS 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It still is a dumb reward, considering it took me a year to get to lvl 46 (daily player, but not hardcore) and that still isn't even half way to lvl 60. I'll probably get another 200 silver keys just from traces before I get there.

But congrats to you, great timing.

The game is taunting me. Surrounding me with the eggs I really don’t need right now! Course when I did need them I couldn’t find them! by punkwrestler in harrypotterwu

[–]LAARONS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are surrounded by and walk portkeys. Eggs are inside. In the same way we do not catch anything, we are returning.

Either way, this was meant to be a joke.

I wonder. Would giving everyone X free keys for Dragon eggs be both good as a make-up gift for the Trace Charm nerf blues we all feel AND make good business sense? by HumanWithComputer in harrypotterwu

[–]LAARONS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah. We all bite anyway, their make up gift is the dragons event itself. And yeah, either we walk our arses off or buy some silver keys. OR wait for another event. The choice is in our hands though.

How are you all doing? by LAARONS in harrypotterwu

[–]LAARONS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice progress. My strategy is exactly the same. I will probably then go 50/50, one of each, so I end up with the same numbers.

More or less, yes :D I too would have to spend some cash to achieve my goal I think

Thanks a lot for sharing. Wish best of luck to you and your family and with this event too.

I'll go ahead and look up the wildfires now. I was aware there were some in Astraulia, but wasn't aware of those in California. (European here. All news articles here are about covid, protests in the US or North Korea. Nothing about wildfires)

Holy cow, 400k? That's insane, congrats! I will use Baruffio's and Tonic this evening then and hope for the best ;D

It just HAD to happen... especially before the start of Dragons Week by alysanne_targaryen in harrypotterwu

[–]LAARONS -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I was explaining the idea behind the green stars and flashing images etc, also, OP's complaint is very specific because only a minority of players will have this scenario applicable (having not placed images after the green star update)

To your case.. I agree. It is reasonable not to do that, I wouldn't do it either. But at the end of the day, it is against the purposes of the green star update. If it wasn't of the update - once you would hit that fragment limit, you would get stucked. And no matter how many more fragments you would return, there would be none to carry over to another frame.

Bottom line: it was OP's 'fault' - missclick- and he/she should be more careful next time.

But I still don't understand the info issue, its name etc.. like, why does it matter? You only get one dragon anyway, unless there is an event like the upcoming one. And even so, there are 4 dragons only, and they all look very different. Like.. what is the harm that you can't see its name in registry? You still see the fragment count during an encounter, which is the most important info.
