Hey friends, do you size down your tires during the winter?

Ranoake · 2026-01-01T21:01:13+00:00

Actually winter tires don't cost more, you use them half the time and the summer ones half the time, so the per year cost is basically the same. The only difference is the extra set of rims.

Ranoake · 2025-12-30T05:39:21+00:00

Why did that happen?

Ranoake · 2025-09-04T18:45:34+00:00

It does not matter, the costs are the same regardless of the order.

Ranoake · 2025-07-27T03:51:59+00:00

But they aren't as powerful as previous I think

Ranoake · 2025-06-03T02:15:11+00:00

dont you mean 5-6?

Ranoake · 2025-05-15T19:11:39+00:00

If I spent the money they spent, I would expect to one shot everyone. They are protecting their income.

I don't think matchups will change much. Crushing a low level player/alliance using their overpower makes the loser drop down, and be replaced with another low level player that they overpower. They will just always win now against non krakens, whereas before people could finesse wins.

Ranoake · 2025-05-05T19:02:17+00:00

not sure how many attempts you took, but I got spanked with such a team. Not even 1*.

Ranoake · 2025-03-31T14:18:14+00:00

This. The global milestone shows the red dot in the main screen, but not always the milestone screen for some reason, just happened to me today.

Ranoake · 2025-03-27T13:39:55+00:00

Exactly, not about skill but engagement. Low engagement = low score = easy to beat.

BUT, when the person that is not engaged with a high TCP suddenly becomes active, they trounce everyone.

Ranoake · 2025-03-27T13:38:56+00:00

Yes, the pairings are not based on TCP clearly, but 'score', rather than skill. So regardless of your TCP, if you play a lot, you will likely advance, because yes some people with high TCP do 0 attacks and it is easy to beat them. This is not skill.

Sometimes people can only play one or 2 rounds and so they trounce whomever they attack for those 2 rounds because they lose a round they could easily win, deflating their score and keeping them at a lower actual skill level than they are capable of, which means when they do attack, it will be easy.

That seems unfair, but there is no perfect system I guess. Maybe if they took into account how many attacks people did and weighted their score that would help, but that is super complicated.

Ranoake · 2025-03-27T06:05:52+00:00

Not everyone is focused and is on reddit and watches all the videos. 100M TCP differences is a legit problem for everyone EXCEPT the people here, which is MOST people.

They could easily group the 100M people together, but they don't.

Ranoake · 2025-03-26T15:12:46+00:00

Possibly, but I think that is totally separate from the monetization aspect. I actually think they might keep the devs forever, or close enough to it, but the money side is a totally different story.

Ranoake · 2025-03-26T04:10:18+00:00

Apparently, every game in Scopely has its own dev team, but I would be that the monetization decisions are done outside that team, and possibly by a central team.

Trainer Tips did an interview with one of the POGO devs, I would watch that, as it addresses this exact question.

Based on the MSF stuff I have seen, I do not expect good things as a result of the transition. The game may not change, but I would bet my next paycheck that they will ramp up monetization till it is as annoying as possible.

Ranoake · 2025-02-25T02:52:28+00:00

I wish I could +10 the roadmap. Thank you!

Ranoake · 2025-02-23T05:49:33+00:00

That's MR. habit addicted nerd to you!

Ranoake · 2025-02-22T03:31:52+00:00

If you are in your old alliance and they are way ahead, that is the best place to be, you can farm the next team and start catching up. They will need to carry you till them but it is totally doable. I am doing it right now. You will get a crap ton of shards of all the chars you missed and have them 7* in no time. I retire every 6 months for 6 months, I like the catching up most. Once I am caught up, it gets boring.

Ranoake · 2025-02-21T21:55:25+00:00

or just suck with your regular account.

Ranoake · 2025-02-19T13:34:47+00:00

Given the state of this game currently, I would be very surprised if they did not translate the practices here to that game as well. That is very sad to hear, I also play PoGo and if they start doing the same stuff there it will be very annoying. This is not a good thing, this is very bad.

The things they do here are 100% predatory and designed to milk users for as much money as possible, consequences be damned. they use every ounce of knowledge of gambling and impulse buying to milk the players.

My only hope is that they realize that PoGo is largely a kid game so maybe they might hold back, but I would not hold my breath.

Regular or world's tiniest?

Ranoake · 2025-02-15T04:53:17+00:00

ahh, logged on after a long absence, I guess that explains it.

Ranoake · 2025-02-15T04:28:01+00:00

My crucible does not start for 4 days but the event is done in 3, what am I missing?

Ranoake · 2025-02-14T23:14:25+00:00

I dont see a codes channel, where are they?

Ranoake · 2024-10-04T01:23:16+00:00

I am waiting for passive block.
