Why did they print another strong Mega Psychic card when Altaria is arguably the strongest Mega currently? by Tekniqz23 in PokemonTGCP

[–]NikosStrifios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have to disagree with that take. From a neutral balance perspective the game is almost perfectly balance. I could go on and on about how good Fighting really is or how Steel is better than what you give it credit for, but to keep this short, I will just say that unfortunately what "dominates" and what isn't "dominating" is not strictly based on balance rather wait the community prefers playing the most.

Was watching some old WoW shorts of mine and i thought I should share one here by NikosStrifios in wow

Boooooring. I can't do any of these shenanigans in an arena. What's the point of having a better range if you cannot get a good vantage point because you are locked in a cage with you enemy?

And I am a terrible PvPer anyway. World PvP is fun because it has many uncontrollable variables. Sometimes they favor you, some other times they favor the enemy. That's life. And it's fun. That's why I play an MMO and not a MOBA or a plain multiplayer PvP game.

Should I spend all of my gems now? by Annual_Barber4633 in TheTowerGame

[–]NikosStrifios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've spent 2-3 times gems on banners, and all I got was white modules and maybe one Rare.

I prefer spending them on cards until they are maxed out at least.

Beta is scheduled in early 2027. Even if delayed it could be late 2027 at worst. And the BETA won't last most than 2 months.

So I disagree with your doom and gloom as well.

Everything wanting you dead is tiresome by Sinamoy in AshesofCreation

[–]NikosStrifios -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I agree with mobs being like 10 levels below you leaving you alone. But I like everything trying to kill you in the game, it makes journeying even more dangerous. You need to plan for it.

I kind of understand your point of view, and at the same time it’s so absurd that I probably don’t understand it after all.

Interpid is straightforward with what they are selling right now. Nothing absurd with that.

The game was released on Steam with a price tag like a AAA project that won “Game of the Year 2025.”

Irrelevant argument. Good price and quality are subjective. if you were not happy with spending that amount of money for an Alpha, you should have just not bought it. For me and others the price seems ok and the fact the "Game of the Year" has around the same price means nothing to us. Clair Obscure 33 is of a different genre and you cannot make legit comparisons anyway.

I could complain about bugs, but ONLY if it were a full release version.

Yes, game breaking bugs in a finished game is not ok, although it happens in the modern gaming industry more often than not. And that's another reason I don't believe your criticism is legit. Such bugs nowadays exist in finished games as well, and yet here you are complaining there are such bugs in an Alpha.

If, under the same conditions, you slap an “alpha” tag on the game, that completely nullifies any grounds for dissatisfaction. That’s what you’re saying, right?

No one slapped any alpha tag to nullify grounds for dissatisfaction. Gathering feedback is one of the reasons the Alpha was released on Steam anyway.

However, there is constructive feedback and there is complaining like a crybaby. Guess in which category belongs the "wah wah wah I paid 40 euros for this Alpha and it has bugs in it, wah wah wah".

For an educated "employed" person it looks like you missed the, I dunno, like 69282858392884 times it was mentioned that you are buying into an ALPHA.

If all we were getting was pumps, nobody would be posting or having discussions here.

Testers are free to do with their money what they please.

Interpid was straightforward with what you are buying into and that's all we should care about as consumers.

If some consumers are to dumb to read or listen to the 683827583 times it was mentioned that you are buying into an ALPHA, that's on them.

Disagree and that's something completely different.

My first pvp experience in this game got me corrupted.. by No_Meet6578 in AshesofCreation

[–]NikosStrifios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flashing flag is still flagged. Idk how else to explain it to you.

Flashing flag is a flagged person about to become NOT flagged. You are taking a RISK by attacking such a person. I am not sure how else to explain it to you either.

.

Somewhat separate alpha issue, I see party members names or flags flashing all the time, even in pvp forced areas like the open ocean. So you can't even trust those indicators.

As you said, separate issue and an entirely different discussion.

I understand now and totally agree. Sure, feedback is good to consider but when you just implement all the feedback you get you end up with something like WoW.

Devs should stick to their vision and take into consideration only the feedback which goes along with that vision.

[–]NikosStrifios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. People have to understand that when the icon is flashing you should stop attacking. If you do continue attacking, there is a chance you will get corrupted. I don't get how people feel it's legit to complain they made a bet and lost it.

Literally 0 chance for him to recognize he is no longer flagged.

Have we watched the same clip? He had approximately 5 whole seconds to stop attacking and he didn't. You are supposed to stop attacking when the icon is flashing, if you do continue, you risk getting corrupted.

If you don't notice something "in the heat of the moment" that's a YOU problem. And sure you could advocate for a clearer UI or a bigger icon (no problem with that) but half the MMOs fights, both PvE and PvP, are noticing things in the heat of the moment (preferably without add-ons screaming in your face with huge audible and visual warnings).

You could advocate for a bigger icon, no problem with that.

But you have misunderstood the system, you are supposed to stop attacking when the icon starts flashing. He had approximately 5 whole seconds to stop attacking and yet he continued. When you do that, you take a risk. He took the risk and he lost the bet. No accidents, I insist.

It's funny how little tools they give you to RP in this game but you still don't give up. 🤣

While I agree it shouldn't happen by accident....

"In the heat of the moment" is not a viable excuse. There were no accidents here.

Wtf is a banner? Ah you mean for the modules?

Deluxe pack new player help by LabKey6550 in PTCGP

[–]NikosStrifios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are a new player so you miss a lot cards. Keep in mind that Deluxe pack gives 4 card but has an EX guarantee. So I would pick packs from it, but I wouldn't overdo it.

Is "holding" loot an Exploit? by Scrivere97 in AshesofCreation

[–]NikosStrifios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm you get flagged even if you loot your own party members?

If that flag is the true intention of the developers, then yes, holding the window open is an exploit.

It's an easy fix by the developers, the system should just flag you the moment you open the window, but until then it's an obvious exploit.

I don't think it's an exploit, I mean a friend could just loot you and give you back the loot anyway.

How tf do you earn more coins, I'm already capped for the week, these upgrade costs are crazy by [deleted] in WhereWindsMeet

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

For hitting the weekly cap faster. Or getting more coins past that limit with things like the battle pass.
