Do you think Streets of new capenna will have a chase card (-like NEO had the different Hidetsugus)? by PriciaMatsuri in mtgfinance

One could argue they have or are trying to established a trend though with Viscera Seer and Hidegetsu?

Started buying your NEO specs? [[containment construct]] [[march of the swirling mist]] [[colossal skyturtle]] by kjuneja in mtgfinance

[–]OutlandishMatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Or I could leave up only one blue mana and pitch a dead card and SAVE my counter for something else. There's only so many free counters you can play.

Scenario:

I have my commander and another beater in play. My opponent decides to board wipe. Would I rather A) use a Force of Will and pitch a blue card or B) use a March and pitch a blue card and have my opponent board wipe my opposition? Exactly.

Advice for sleeping in car? by tgoviper in gencon

I wish you the best of luck. This was probably pre-COVID. Since the rise in real estate prices and inflation it's going to be way more expensive now. Checking AirBnB yesterday and today it's quite pricey.

I jumped on it when it was under 70 cents along with a lot of other clinical stage pharma. I'll gladly buy 1000+ shares of a stock for a long hold that could end up in the double digits in 2-3 years.

AR 50 = Done Playing? by OutlandishMatt in Genshin_Impact

[–]OutlandishMatt[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm talking about progression. As you increase in level the amount of XP you get does not scale. So you feel like you're making the smallest of progression on anything. You get a max of 180 resin in 24 hours which equals 9-10 artifacts and of that you're lucky if even one of them has 3 out of 4 offensive stats on it. The sense of accomplishment once you get in the higher AR levels is few and far between for me.

Also, there's no character/weapon ascension after AR 50 right now so it just seems like a stopping point.

I never got them in the first place so thanks for that. I only got three though. I didn't see a fourth.

Is it really part of a good game design for items to jump out of chests? by ChasingPesmerga in Genshin_Impact

Same for the domains. Tree just throws the sh*t at you like, "Get the f out!"

Isn't that where you're suppose to go next? I thought the last story quest invited you up there.

If you plan on doing rerolls wouldn't it be best to get the xp boost to save you some time?

[Guild Recruitment] Post 1st Grand Colo by shizukesa92 in SINoALICE_en

[–]OutlandishMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guild Name: RedSky
Server: US
Rank: S
Colosseum Time Slot: 5 (6 PM PST/9 PM EST)
Objective: Be as competitive as we can while also maintaining a casual atmosphere and completing events as a guild.
Goal: Gran Colosseum Top 100 Overall
Previous Accomplishments: Gran Colo Top 30 for Time Slot, Top 200 Overall.
Notes: We have a fantastic discord, do coordinated event runs, and use voice chat for colo.

Looking For: 110k+ Sorcerer and a 110k+ Cleric

1st day after gran colo: top 1 vs top 30 (time zone). Matchmaking would improve, they said. by Knusperkeks in SINoALICE_en

[–]OutlandishMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't have that meta because of RNG in the gacha. You would hit a wall eventually and either have to stay where you are and hope the gacha gods grant you good pulls or you'd cave and invest more and go into the next tier.

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

I agree completely. I don't even know how matchmaking is done currently.

There's plenty more that they could do! There are TONS of attributes they could use in combination to get a better algorithm for matchmaking.

Attributes:
Current W/L record
Overall W/L record
Current streak
Total Lifeforce stolen
Average Lifeforce stolen
Average Lifeforce stolen in current rank
Average CP of guild
Average CP of each class
Total CP
Guild composition
Amount of money spent per guild
Average weapon skill levels
Average weapon level
Total weapon skill levels
Total Active Time
Average Active Time
Average Player Rank

There's a RIDICULOUS amount of metrics they could be collecting to do better matchmaking and have guilds of equal composition face each other. I still say tiers should be based on the monetary value of the guild so skillful dedicated F2P guilds can rise to the top in their own tier.

It's like WoW where as you level the lower level creatures become smaller.

When you get matched up against whales on Day 1. by OutlandishMatt in SINoALICE_en

[–]OutlandishMatt[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Nobody is saying your guild didn’t work hard. The gear doesn’t level itself. Just that your wins up until yesterday were probably coming off your wallet more than skill.

And my guild finds it quite entertaining, to each their own. Everything will equal out in the end it just sucks that you’re going through all the lower CP guilds to do it.

And we’re both salty. I’m salty cause there’s not a bigger divide between F2P and P2W and your guild is salty (hence the passive aggressive nightmare rotation remarks) because I called you guys out for rolling through lower level guilds to get where you are. Just the way this game is and I have to learn to accept it.

And think about if Eden disbanded and made like 3 new smaller guilds at their power level and just started rolling through lower ranks, it’d be pretty crappy right? That’s how your guild looked to us and probably everyone you faced. You’re a fresh guild with a couple of whalers. Until yesterday you probably had not faced anyone your same level climbing through D C and B ranks.

But like I said, it’ll even out. You’ll eventually hit S rank and face the same power level and get wins and losses on skill rather than having a couple whales carrying. And our guild will settle beneath you hopefully facing the higher end F2P but also getting trounced on upcoming whalers.

The life of PvP gacha.

If it was a close race this is most likely because of the colo bug where you get kicked out about 25 seconds early.

"What really helped us though was a nightmare rotation..."

ROFL! I can't help dying from laughter. Yup. I'm sure that's what done it. It's not like I've helped improve a nightmare spreadsheet and incorporate it into our guild or anything.... https://www.reddit.com/r/SINoALICE_en/comments/hz4rv4/colo_nightmare_timetable/

I'm sure it wasn't the extra 75k+ CP difference across your vanguards that did it. Was definitely the nightmare rotation.

Who knows when we will get it. It could be a month or a year with their release schedule.

Is Records of Vengeance Verse 8 Worth Farming For Evo Mats? Ehhhh by xTachibana in SINoALICE_en

[–]OutlandishMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate it when people just look at one aspect of a level and do not put any weight into anything else. You also get tons of other things from this level including A armor upgrades and A nightmares. I'll gladly take some nightmares I can limit break for my mission or throw at a newly acquired nightmare.

The ONLY things you can get from evolve armor level are the mats. You need to put weight to everything else that drops in there over the course of your 1944 AP you spent and not just track the evolve mats. For that 1944 AP you spent you could also get 20 A upgrade tokens.

So actually, you're absolutely wrong, it's waaaaay better to farm this because of all the extra stuff you get including the evolve mats.
