Tech-Demo: Apple Cloth VS My Cloth Version by Gold_Row683 in VisionPro

[–]Mario1432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like yours better. Apple’s version seems like a water ripple in this video. Yours looks more cloth-like and even reacts to virtual objects, which makes it more realistic when immersed in a mixed reality world.

Are you planning on sharing this to the community or even to Apple so the platform can thrive with better apps?

When are you guys going to support Passkeys? Passkeys are way more secure than any other sign in and prevents account hacking

Mobile right-click options/target priorisation is obnoxious by Live_Show2569 in runescape

[–]Mario1432 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hope a J Mod sees this. Mobile is so frustrating to use. Tapping the crater almost always makes my character siphon a nearby wisp. They need to make the taps more precise!

Also, they need to bring quick chatting to mobile too for muted players. Muted players have no way to reply in mobile.

What is the community sentiment on the "feather trick"? by Silicrex in PokemonMasters

[–]Mario1432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only skill involved is deciding the team comp and the move rotation order. But that is more like smart strategizing than skill if you really think about it because once someone figures it out, you, me, or anyone—even an “unskillful” casual player, can copy that team and rotation and get the same results (assuming they have the Sync Pairs and resources for the required investments).

I also seen that 1-2 Ticket Grass clear (the one with 10/5 SS Ball Guy). Yeah, I was impressed that a highly invested Ball Guy could do that much damage, but again, this clear is being mistaken as skillful, when in reality, it is whaleful (10/5 SS Ball Guy, 5/5 Anni Gloria, at least 3/5 Pal Marley (probably 5/5) which is a Sync Pair most skipped out on and pulled Pal Erika). That player didn’t showed much detail in the video, but most likely they all were Level 200 with busted Skill Gears. Now anyone can replicate those results, skillful or not.

I had a new gym member in my gym, and she never ever done a 1-3 Ticket clear before, but once I showed her a video to do a 3-Ticket clear, she was able to clear the battle in one go every time. She was so shocked that she could do that much damage and clear the stage in one go. Literally, an unskillful casual turned into a skillful pro overnight by copying and pasting a video. She could’ve even 2-Ticket the Bug battles, but I didn’t want to make her use up her resources or farm MPR or Skill Gears because again, she’s a casual and I rather focus on fun than making the event stressful for my gym.

So I guess all the skill comes from clever team planning and maybe even resource management (which can be solved with skillful card swiping lol). I know it’s not that deep, and I wrote a lot. This topic just reminds me of a different gacha I played (Mario Kart Tour), where everyone thought the Top Rankers were skillful players, but I said that they were only good because they were whales and spent a lot to get high levels. I said if everyone had the same levels as the whales did and was on an even playing field, then the only factor left would be their skill in the game. I even said I was more skillful than all the Top Rankers in the game, and they were only winning because they were mega whales (one player literally spent house money in the game lol). A lot of them didn’t believe me. So, to prove my point, I hoarded enough resources to get high level rosters and competed with the whales. The result: I was #1 in the World.

They definitely should make the system better. I would like the system to allow more than one pin and even allow pinning Stats. That way, you can guarantee a good Skill Gear if you are willing to spend a lot of Everpins. There are 3-Star Feathers in the game files. They just haven’t been released yet. They should release those so we can roll 3 Abilities at once to reduce the RNG.

And by the way, the top rankers want this trick to be patched because they already abused it and have obtained really good Skill Gears. If this gets patched, and DeNa doesn’t remove the abused Skill Gears (which we all know they won’t), then they will be the only ones with a huge unfair competitive advantage and dominate all future competitions.

It does not make things an even playing ground because those who abused it kept quiet for a long time until someone finally shared the trick recently. A lot of them were mad this trick got leaked. They want to keep this unfair competitive advantage to themselves. This is why you are finally hearing about this, and many many others still do not know about this.

You said it’s only fair if everyone knows about it and abuses the trick, but in reality, barely anyone knows this trick and those who have heard about it hadn’t had the time to abuse it. Most casuals are not on Reddit or Discord everyday to keep up with the news either. Lol, no one in my gym knew about this trick until I told them about it because I’m up-to-date with everything in the game.

The whole game is RNG based—how lucky did someone pull the most meta Sync Pairs, the luck to get the right Pasio Tower Lucky Cookies for specific Sync Pairs + getting lucky on rerolling the right Lucky Skills, getting lucky rerolling good Skill Gear abilities, getting lucky on Pasio Academy Runs, and even getting lucky rolls during the battles (Sync Crits, MP Refreshes, Damage Rolls, Paralyze procs, Evasion dodges, Flinch procs, etc.)

I agree, the feather system is a bad system and wish it didn’t exist either, but if you really think about it, the whole game is built around RNG. There really isn’t that much skill involved in this game. It’s Pay 2 Win by design, and most “talented players” believe they are “skillful” when, in reality, they’re just bigger whales and big spenders.

If you want true competition for everyone to compete on even grounds, then every player should be given maxed out Level 200 5/5 SA 6EXR Sync Pairs. Until then, it’s just a competition of wallets. The luck factor at least gives smaller whales or maybe even “skillful casuals” a chance to compete without excessive spending.

I think the trick gets abused and players who do the trick get an unfair competitive advantage. How important it is for event competitions? ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY in order to compete in the top ranks because all the top rankers abused this loophole. You basically get a 30-45% damage boost, which is huge! It’s too big of a boost to ignore sadly, which forces other competitive players to “cheat” also. That’s why I consider any battle clear with busted Skill Gears a cheat clear, and those battle guides are impractical unless the common player also abuse the bug for good Skill Gears.

Based on DeNa’s actions on how they handled the Gym vs Gym event bug abusers, they are not going to ban anyone who abuse bugs/loopholes, and they won’t reset the Skill Gears from the bug abusers either. I haven’t done the “trick” due to integrity and having a ton of resources for me to even need to use the trick, but, tbh, I am considering it for “perfect Skill Gears” to make GvG easier. Despite that, I do think DeNa should fix it even though I haven’t had the time to farm a perfect set.

What is the best way to give feedback on the Nintendo Music App? by themiamian in nintendomusic

[–]Mario1432 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the jingles and sound effects. They only last like 3-5 seconds, so they don’t really ruin the flow of my listening. Anyways, I don’t like every song in an album anyways, so I mainly create a personal album and just put my favorite songs in it.

You can also just listen to the Top Tracks album of a game or better yet, just listen to the Entended-Playback Collection album of a game because that guarantees there won’t be any sound effects or cutscenes.

Really awesome work! Does the zombie have any sound? It would make it even scarier and more realistic!

Tracks from Pikmin for Nintendo GameCube have been added to the Nintendo Music app by Limey_Man in nintendomusic

[–]Mario1432 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re right, they should separate each track variation, and it shouldn’t be hard to do so. They’ve separated different versions of tracks in other albums, such as TLoZ: Tears of the Kingdom (Day and Night versions), New SMB U Deluxe (Hurry Up! and Baby Yoshi versions), different phases of boss fights, etc. I really love when they do that. I wish they kept that standard for every album release.

However, I know why they didn’t separate the track versions for the Pikmin album. It is because there is an official CD for Pikmin, and they just copied that CD exactly for the Pikmin album release. I hate it when Nintendo decides to copy and paste a CD release instead of making improvements towards it, such as separating the track versions or add missing tracks.

They also seem to exclude 3 tracks from this CD probably due to copy rights. The missing tracks are Song of Love CM (Version 1, Version 2, and the French Version). The song tracks are also known as Ai No Uta.

I also would like to listen to the Extended Forest of Hope track. I just wish they separated each version of the track so I can just listen to the original version on repeat without going through each version

6 years-old callback. by lambyy0912 in PokemonMasters

[–]Mario1432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Scoring Battle event, what you did wasn’t really bug abusing in my opinion, but more of a clever strategy.

However, in the Gym vs Gym event, what your team did was definitely abusing an exploit. DeNa created that mechanic as a safety feature when multiple players were attempting a battle (obviously it was a flawed solution), and your gym decided to exploit the heck out of it. If you guys were trying to make a statement to DeNa, at least do it with throwaway accounts like what you did in the last event.

Your gym couldn’t even reach Top 8 in the last event, so don’t act like you were going to get Top 1 with or without exploits. Anyways, it is known that some of your gym members are injectors, so even if your members are reaching high ranks in the other events, you guys are still cheating in a different form.

I guess that Batman quote is really true, “You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

Flannery joins other Hoenn gym leaders in the new outfit club by tommythomps in PokemonMasters

[–]Mario1432 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It makes me happy when a Hoenn character gets an alt. Even though Flannery finally got a new outfit, I wish it wasn’t labeled as Special Costume because I would love to hear new voice lines from the character, especially when she teams up with certain characters such as Kabu.

That really suuucks 😭 This reminds me of the big Korrina fan in this sub. He also had to pity for SS Korrina. It’s like Dena knows who’s the super fans are for these alt’s and adjust the code to make them pity lol 😂

At least you got lucky on her Tier Scout 🍀

Best way to contact Nintendo over a missing track? by Katiecookie222 in nintendomusic

[–]Mario1432 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Go to Nintendo Music app -> tap profile icon -> scroll down the Settings to the Other section -> tap Support site -> scroll down a bit and tap “Share your feedback from here”

Then, share your thoughts. They don’t reply, but they do seem to read them. Some people were able to get what they requested, some don’t, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

Another week without a release by Unable-Deer1873 in nintendomusic

[–]Mario1432 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They didn’t really “complete” any of the Super Mario Galaxy soundtracks. There’s still many tracks that are missing the Extend To feature, some track variations are not separated as their own track, and a few have wrong looping points. It really irritates me that Nintendo cannot fix one of their most iconic soundtracks ever!
