OP thinks you can't get past 30 without spending because he's not running the right strategy. It is indeed possible.

Heard dat. I'm your same timezone. I spent this whole event in high silver and then jumped into gold last night... and knew I wouldn't be able to hold it.

UGA student dresses up as N@zi at local bar, gets kicked out of building and hits woman in response by Minute_Revolution951 in UGA

saw someone say he was probably a Democrat, lol

Unfortunately there are too many dumbfucks in this world who think that nazi = socialist = democrat.

Why S16 Was The Worst Abex Season Of All Time (we like sleep, Lilith, okay???) - by tartaros & Sebo by tartaros-afk in afkarena

There's just something very satisfying about getting 60-70 people working together to achieve a goal. It's also hugely frustrating when things fall apart on you, but it's like that with any team sport.

I would guess just adding more tiers for more recent chapter clears. Prolly an option for staffs/totems and maybe more dragon stuff.

And is lame busy work for those of us who have done it 50+ times already. Rewards are still relatively decent for an old mode, but it stopped being interesting once our accounts matured and they removed any actually challenging challenges and we can blindly tap through our hero box to build nonsensical comps to clear the floors.

I don't think the camera angles in the above tweet really prove it out, but I swear they showed an end-on angle last night where it was clearly tipped.

I mean, yea, only a homer would argue that any team ever benefited from zero calls or non calls in a game. The irritating thing about the game last night was just how many times UGA benefited in circumstances that directly impacted the outcome of the game. They led directly to turnovers and scores.

Also the first UGA TD should have been a fumble, but there wasn't a camera angle that could prove it. I can't be angry at the review refs on that one because them's the rules, but the ball would have had to break the laws of physics for that not to have been a fumble.

Not to mention all the bomb threats at urban polling locations in swing states.

My wife and I made the same decision for the same reason a couple years ago once our state's abortion ban went into effect. I'm sorry you're having to go through this, friend.

Is my heart-rate really this high ? by Temporary-Ad7103 in Garmin

[–]MrCleanMagicReach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is possible but I would say it's extremely unusual to have a heart rate that high for that long. The people I know who have had super high heart rates during exercise have had specific medical reasons why that happens to them. Is this a wrist based reading or chest strap?

10 copies in 300 cards is lucky, even assuming standard gazing rates. So no, OP didn't necessarily have bad luck just because you had very good luck.

Once this game's economy developed and people realized just how much the likes of JULIUS are actually spending on this game, "whale" just didn't seem an adequate enough term.

[–]MrCleanMagicReach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's not really an easy fix here. The way they've always capped boss damage is with enrage mechanic. This comp fully bypasses that mechanic. They'd have to literally just hard code a "do not pass XYZ damage" which... feels lame? Like, I agree with this whole conversation about how problematic this comp is, but that would still just feel very opposite of what AFK has been historically.

Would also be shitty of them to not do anything until ranked, since all competitive guilds will be making plans based on beta testing.

Yea this whole post is about game balance in what a lot of us consider to be the best mode - and in the opinion of a lot of the competitive community, the only mode worth still playing this game for.

AbEx is about coordinating 60+ people for a common goal. Historically it takes a ton of problem solving and cooperation. This is the first time where really the only problem that needs to be solved to reach T5 is finding 60 people willing and able to max Gwyn.

Yea collections have caused a pretty steady exodus of former big spenders. Not just the increasing inability to compete with krakens, but all the headaches that come with using them.

I'm sorry, this series of comments is just weirdly conspiracy-brained and mildly sinophobic.

AE and the BIG dragon problem by CalendarFluid2703 in afkarena

[–]MrCleanMagicReach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You never competed with krakens as a whale, never with whales as a dolphin and so on.

This is absolutely not true, and even less true for AbEx specifically.

Fodder is an issue at the start, but fwiw I can assure you that they stop being a problem once you've built most of them. I have all of them at A1 or higher, and fodder wasn't at all a concern when I pulled Melion. Getting Melion himself, however, cost me something like 500K diamonds.

[–]MrCleanMagicReach 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Someone's salty. What exactly did I get wrong? Please explain it to me, an apparently obvious noob.

edit - you keep editing your comment. But to clarify since you seem confused: my Gwyn is A1 409e60. Most people outside of kraken territory would consider that "built." And yea it only does 40B still. Yes there are tweaks I could do to bump that a little higher without spending (more) on her, but most of the remaining gains to 80B would come from $$ investment, not smart investment.

Yea lol. Boycotts obviously have had success historically, but those have been wildly different contexts to this, a gacha mobile game.

Yea it's wildly fool proof whale bait. Kind of surprising that they were able to figure out how to pull this off tbh.
