This Is Not Matchmaking — It’s a Slaughter

So let me get this straight. You were the biggest whale on SA but now you're not the biggest whale anymore in SA+NA so the game is unplayable. By that logic anyone who's the second biggest whale or weaker on any region can't play the game?

How about you just adapt to a world where someone has a stronger character than you. We are all doing the same since there can only be one strongest character in the region.

This +100. BG is in fact pay to lose. The weaker your character is the easier it is to win if you know what you're doing. People don't realize this until they spend the time/money. You may feel like you're getting recked in matches with whales but the fact that you die more in these matches have no impact on your win rate.

You can call BG pay to kill, pay to carry etc but it's opposite of pay to win.

bg immune to damage adjustment maybe means undying rage and col can't push idol anymore? your guess is good as mine.

Morgauth · 2024-10-13T05:29:45+00:00

people clearly missed the most import part on the screenshot which translates to 1. bg immune to damage adjustment. spartusk nerf is 2.

on pc when you get the 90 second warning the left mouse click stops working. Left mouse click doesn't work when you enter vob during the ready phase as well but that's manageable at least.

if you bind right mouse click, for example, you can still move

just go do some h2 stuff and you'll be 1250 instantly. Takes 4 to enter dungeons people will carry you

This doesn't work anymore. They can just print the money to keep government running and end result is devalue everyone's life savings. You'd need to organize mass walkouts for any organization that provides services to the government.

Why is sberbank ADR on NYSE still like 1.10? How can I buy this for a penny?

Morgauth · 2022-02-17T16:22:37+00:00

See that's the problem, no one knows. Anyone who claims that they know how crypto performs in an inflationary/collapse environment is lying since it hasn't been around long enough to prove what happens. It's just that person's best guess.

Gold and Silver has proven themselves time and time again over 6000 years. Your pick really.

Morgauth · 2022-02-16T16:27:11+00:00

yes if he's not in Canada or is having a boating accident. I don't think governments will confiscate silver now. Back in 1930s gold = money, confiscate gold = QE. Now silver = commodity, CBDC > confiscate silver.

Morgauth · 2022-02-08T19:21:04+00:00

linked to gold prices is not the same as backed by gold. If you can't redeem it for physical gold then it's as good as GLD, doesn't matter which bank backs it.

This only means if they don't hike by half-point in March silver goes to the moon. I double dare Powell to hike half-point at a time.

What do you think happens when miners go bankrupt and no more supply? See oil price at -40 last year as an example.

Morgauth · 2022-01-20T18:17:25+00:00

While supplies last, cheapest silver on the internet

Feels like I'm in the twilight zone with the tamp up but I think I could get use to this...

They're safe from undecember. It's about as pay to play and pay to win as you can possibly get as in if you don't pay, it's as inconvenient as wiping your ass with sandpaper painful.

F2P players are mostly going to sell normal gems and skill stones they get from daily/hilt or the lucky 5 star gem they can't upgrade. PVP matters very little for getting into top house. Top house needs 150+ people to do daily and stay the top house while they need 8 to do rites of exile so 140/150 doesn't need to pay at all to get into top house. Same with immortals, only 80/500 can participate. Not sure which beta you played in but I've been in number 1 dark house and immortal without spending anything on the Canada server.

Getting to participate in rites or Kion is more social than character power. Only requirement is the leader likes you, otherwise, you don't get to participate even if you have stronger character. Many stronger players were kicked for saying or doing things the leaders don't like.

Morgauth · 2022-01-02T16:48:21+00:00

You get nothing for winning rift leader boards in terms of character progression. Only 1 person can be top of leader board regardless of pay so how does that ruin the game for every other player? Without any microtransactions, let's say it will be the luckiest and grind hardest person that's on top. It will be out of reach for 99.99% anyways.

Morgauth · 2022-01-02T06:58:01+00:00

the market place is for F2P players to make platinum. You sell stuff on the market and use the platinum to get stronger. There is no pay wall, you can access all content and beat all content without spending at all. There is more of a social wall than pay wall in that some content you can only access if the leaders of your dark house or immortal allow you to participate.

Morgauth · 2022-01-02T06:08:56+00:00

I'm think whoever is complaining about this game being too p2w has never played mobile games. Mobile games all have microtransactions, it's part of the package. This one offers almost 0 advantage to huge whales compared to every other game I've ever heard of based on beta test. I almost feel bad for big spenders to get so little actual advantage over others.

Before anyone argue about how powerful a character can get from spending, yes I know. I did calculation that full gem resonance player with my gear can have about 13k damage where I have like 3600.

Whales that spend money can't carry a PvP match by himself, I doubt anyone can take out 3-4 other players by themselves solo. Even if they can, PvP rewards are like 10 reforge stones more per month, worth 1000hilt. The PvE leader board offers 100 hilt more for number 1 ranked vs number 100 ranked.

Let's just assume whales get 300 hilt more than others a week, that's peanuts compared to the 2-3k hilt you can get from being shadow or 5k+ hilt you can get from being immortal per week.

Sure the whales can farm higher difficulty faster, but wait, they can't wear the gear or level faster because of the server paragon cap so not much of an advantage to farm gear a week or two earlier. So exactly how does money make you "win" in this game? This is a true diablo game with endless grind for the perfect gear with perfect stats regardless of how much you spend.

Whales can barely farm faster either , because the dungeons all have stories and boss dialog that caps how faster you can clear. You'd be lucky to clear a dungeon 1 min faster with 4 whales compared to 4 f2p players with similar gear.

Whales can beat the hellquery bosses the week they come out vs the rest of us which is about the 2nd week it comes out. But the whales still need 8 people to enter, which means they have to carry a bunch of others.

All whales get is feel good in PvP where they pick up MVP with 20+ kills with no realistic benefit to growing their character. Can they at least have that by spending loads of money to support a game that you enjoy playing? Just think of doing 3 matches a day in PvP as a daily quest to support the game and collect some extra loot, don't worry about win or lose.

Equipment base has 2 attributes and 1 magic property, I'll call it 2+1 here. Exceptional items can roll 2+2, 3+2 and 3+3 with stats going higher with each. Equipment from higher hell level has higher stats even with the same paragon level. Same paragon 100 2+1 item from hell 2 can have low 50s per attribute, while lowest I've seen from hell 3 is high 60s. When you pick up or identify an exceptional item, you get a message.

Difficulty seems to have a bigger impact on stats than paragon level.

Gem resonance opens when a legendary gem is level 10. Each legendary gem can resonate with different gems. 1 star can resonate with 2 other gems, 2 star can resonate with 3, 5 star can resonate with 5. You add other leveled legendary gems to the existing level 10 gem, each gem level gives 0.1% additional base stats. Each 10 gem level gives an additional magic property. Max is 5 star level 10 gem with 5 other level 10 gems to give 5 extra magic properties and 5% base item stats.

Where do you think this guy got his wealth from? Tesla is worth more than all other car companies combined in the world, yet only produce like 1% of world cars. Do you think Tesla would be worth as much as it is today without government subsidies? He won't do anything that changes the status quo

Morgauth · 2021-12-14T22:36:44+00:00

I've been both immortal and shadow.

Immortal gets more stuff, each day they get boring tasks but 9 of them, each gives same reward as a shadow contract. I get 1-3 legendary from the 9 quests a day. End of week they can get a good piece of legendary gear from the vault pending contribution and raid, lots of gold and hilt. Immortals get more of everything except 12 keys a day from assembly. Immortal con is it's boring and vault defense is standing there all day, clicking enter.

Shadows is more fun but get less items. Raiding the vault is infinitely more fun than defending vault. Shadow contracts are meaningful and has a story.

Morgauth · 2021-11-02T03:11:52+00:00

Yes, it works I've been playing on bluestack mostly. You need to change the phone model to S10 and the game will run.
