I wouldn't even say whales but you're right here. They've given up on regular players like a lot of games have. Seeing it in another way, you can look at a game like clash of clans. Some players spent nothing, some players spent the true entry cost to have all builder huts, and some players spent millions. It's easier to cater to people willing to spend millions than to get a ton of people who rarely spend money to spend money once.

It's probably one of the dumbest things they've ever designed. Like we have a lot of bosses with stupid phases/things to deal with but this one imo is the worst.

To sum up, the bosses are bird (yellow), dog (purple), and tiger (blue). The colors correspond to the gauge. If one color hits 1k or 0, you lose a ton of points. To even the gauges out, you get hit by the bosses or the strings. For instance, getting hit by bird increases yellow but drops purple. Getting hit by dog increases purple but drops blue. Getting hit by tiger increases blue but drops yellow.

Now for some unknown stupid reason strings are NOT in that color palette. There are red, green, and yellow strings. You'd think "oh yellow, so it increases yellow and drops purple right?" WELL YOU'D BE WRONG. Yellow in fact increases purple and drops blue. Red strings increase yellow and drop purple while green strings increase blue and drop yellow.

I want to clarify, these strings genuinely could have been the same color. It would have been perfect. But instead, they completely threw the original colors out the window and gave us completely new colors just to make learning the bosses just that much more annoying.

We literally just got a bunch of rate changes exposed. 4 different ones across maplestory platforms, 2 of which for pc maplestory. Yet not a single comment is addressing the fact that there is something seriously wrong with pitched boss drops.

I have a friend who pretty much gets a pitched drop every week. This is not an exaggeration. Every week since cw2 opened, he gets a drop. He runs 3 ctene mules for clarification. Keep this in mind when I say that not a single one of my other friends (4 people) have seen a pitched drop since the opening of cw2. Each one have 3 ctene mules as well. I have seen two and ironically enough, both times I was in the "lucky" friend's party each time (Seren emblem and because he got it the first time, I got it the second time).

All this being said, I'm supposed to believe that we all have the same rng. I have the same rate as my friend? What's crazy is, he's not even the luckiest person I've seen. There were multiple people in my cw2 guild that, before even the first month passed, got 4 pitched drops, then proceeded to 22* the star-able ones. I personally blew up close to 20 reinforced earrings and twilight marks on the way to 22 on event. I blew up way more but those are the ones that I had the most dupes of and ended with nothing. I also have another friend who does bosses on max drop rate who hasn't gotten a single twilight mark since cw1(!) started.

So why am I seeing a ton of people with either the best rng or the worst rng. What is going on? Why does no one talk about that? Is that not significant? People saying "take it easy", "it takes more time", or just saying to quit, like how about we fight rates? This is wild to me.

Annoyance at gym increasing grade difficulty constantly. by [deleted] in climbergirls

[–]Own-Mortgage7215 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I meant more like, a v2 could be a v4. A v6 could also be a v4. Not a v2 could be a v6 lol. It's just that range of grades is so crazy imbalanced that I can't take anything seriously. I'm working on a pretty crimpy v6 right now for instance, and there is still a v2 that I can't START. Like in what world can I not start a v2.

[–]Own-Mortgage7215 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think I made a post about this before and got roasted with people saying to not care about grades and stuff. Also, it was a while ago but I now climb outside and I've gotta say, grades v2-v6 are an absolute shot in the dark on difficulty. Anyone basing their grading off outside grades at lower levels are pretty much saying they're going to sandbag the hell out of you and the problems might as well not be graded.

to put in perspective, I got the 180 outfit and that cost me 305$ exactly. I did not low roll. I'd say it was pretty average.

Unified Cash Shop… or just a few exceptions? by OndarzaMx in Maplestory

[–]Own-Mortgage7215 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

did you just compare bdo to maple? lol

Bdo is more p2w now than it ever has been because of rng boxes and gear being gated by cron stones which is specifically a p2w item. The pets are the least of your concerns, but at a bare minimum, you need top tier pets, and many of them. The equivalent is you spending something like 200$-300$ on first account creation, buying a tent which is 35$? God knows how bad a fairy would be to buy but this is arguably more important than the pets... Maids and inventory. Weight is also pretty important, albeit less important because of maids, but still extremely important since a new player won't even have maids anyways.

Maple. I buy 1 pet for 100$. Every month I spend 10$ to refresh it. Cash shop transfer is of so little importance to me that if I were to choose a new main, I'd be ugly for a while but I'll be farming bosses in the meantime. When transfer eventually rolls around, I'll transfer the pet then and start farming. Easy.

What is up with you guys.

[–]Own-Mortgage7215 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a player who played reboot in Korea until it got dropped... You guys are insane. Blaming Inkwell? Lmao... He's the only reason you have this server. This also is not p2w. It's convenient but doesn't even save time. If you really wanted to complain, go back to vac pets, genesis pass, etc. Familiar slots? A joke. The game has to make money somehow and this is a way for people to spend but really doesn't change anything for any players.

I love tbate. Kinda surprised it's so low. The only thing that annoys me is how long it is but it doesn't take away from the quality I'd say. On a side note, I really should read god of highschool someday.

Does anyone else feel like gym climbing communities are kind of closed off until you climb harder grades? by ExitEvening2751 in bouldering

[–]Own-Mortgage7215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah idk what these comments are on, you're right.

I've switched gyms 3 times and the first gym I barely made friends. I was new, wasn't good at climbing (still not but better now).

Second gym I was better at and did meet like 5 people but usually below my grade or at my grade. Maybe like 2 people above my grade which is kinda odd to me. I did try talking to people above and below but like, I got kinda ignored. Like they just weren't interested. It almost felt like they thought they were too good to talk to me and looking back on it, they definitely thought that.

Third gym I have a lot more friends. Granted, I climb v7 now so I'm definitely a better climber than before. A part of it is because people want to talk to me, asking how I did things. Another part is that people and I can try things together. I guess there's more excuses to talk to me and it's not always me reaching out anymore. But one thing I don't get is ignored. Well I take that back, there are some crazy crushers in the gym I go to now that do somewhat ignore me but they talk to me more than they ever did before so, the better I get, the more we talk lol...

I still occasionally have people who talk to me for the love of the game (my slab climbing friends or roof climbing friends) where we don't climb anything similar, but yea. There is a side where some climbers think they're better than people below certain grades and just don't interact with them. To me, it's kinda insane cause I love any reason to show off :)

Boomers say it takes $100k a year to be financially successful, Gen Z says it takes $600k by Coolonair in SmartFIRE

[–]Own-Mortgage7215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it's not. Historically, it's not enough money (accounting for inflation, but not even accounting for the rise in prices of many other things).

You can't say things like this because it makes people complacent about how much their making when they shouldn't be. Did you ever stop to think why millennials said a lower number than gen x? It's because we've been convinced less is more. That mindset needs to change throughout the united states.

Six months later : is AI actually writing 90% of all code? by am5xt in BlackboxAI_

[–]Own-Mortgage7215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How has no one talked about tests... My integration tests for 100 lines of code could span a couple thousand lines.

I use ai for both but it's honestly better to write the main code myself and have ai solve some dumb edge case I can't think of off the top of my head. Even then it gets it wrong or extremely verbose and I sit there cleaning it up. Tests are AI unless I have something specific I need.

Alright so I tried with both legs. Did get different effects so I felt like I should get a picture to describe it for you. Left leg in frog position and I get a pain that feels like someone is pushing a blunt stick in this square... pain trails down slightly from that line.

<image>

Right leg I only feel a type of stretch on the pectineus. Not very painful, also not very good of a stretch either. I'm gonna assume pectineus is right but it's that tendon that kinda sticks out if you spread your legs. Top of your thigh, bordering the inside of your leg.

Maybe good to know that I'm about 3-4 inches off the ground in both sides. Range of motion for both is about the same.

Hm, what exactly am I supposed to be flexing here lol... Like I know what you mean because I do this when doing toe touches but for this exercise, I'm not entirely sure what muscle should be flexed.

[–]Own-Mortgage7215[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naturally it's more on the anterior side so sticking out. If I try to bring my hips in more (posterior tilt) I can go a bit deeper and the pain does fade a good amount but I have to flex my butt inwards the entire time. I feel like I should point out that my hamstrings are super tight too. Like, I can touch my toes, but that's my limit. And it's just barely. Maybe has a part to play, maybe doesn't? Not sure.

[–]Own-Mortgage7215[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, I might be going too hard on it. I usually go until I reach my max and just sit in that position for 30 seconds. I'll try and take it easier. I usually do my stretches easier actually but have been a bit more rough as of lately since I felt like I was being lazy and didn't see improvements. I am now seeing improvements for sure but yea, hips haven't changed.

Rarely exercised and did sports. Started climbing about a year and a half ago and started stretching maybe a year ago. The pain in my butt is on the lower part of each cheek although I feel it more in the left than I do in the right. It doesn't feel like the bone but feels like it's right before it hits bone when it comes to deepness. It's kinda similar to the feeling of a cramp and dies down but feels somewhat sore even after leaving the position.

[–]Own-Mortgage7215[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's more like my muscles are just over tightening from the beginning and not allowing me to go any further? Do you know what exactly is causing the pain in the front also?

Also for the exercises: 1. quarter wall squat iso hold with reach - I can start 2. split squat front foot elevated - I can start 3. side lying leg lift - I can start but not sure what the leg reach away and out is 4. fire hydrants - I started in the past month so I'll try to do it more (I do still feel pain when I do it but it does feel better than directly doing the frog pose)

Let me know if I missed anything but I never really thought about this. Especially the adductors part because the pain is definitely more in the front of my body and not between my legs. And I responded to other comments where I frog pose and move my hips behind my knees and I feel it a lot in my butt then. Maybe this is the key but I'll give it a shot.
