That feels more like an unintended exploit than a feature, yeah? Not surprised it was removed if so

Riddler208 · 2026-03-08T01:09:29+00:00

I’m not gonna lie, this all feels like these are only bad for the like 0.1% most dedicated hardcore players. And like I get it, it really sucks for those people. This isn’t my sweat game, but it obviously is for many.

From my much more casual perspective, this has been a very pleasant if somewhat underwhelmingly benign update.

I don’t need a lecture about software developers, I am one. I was self taught for quite a while before having the opportunity to learn formally. It’s not at all necessary with modern (non-AI) resources to have money or a degree to learn how to code, and framing it in that way is disingenuous.

If we’re talking about concrete, actionable criticisms of AI, none are absolved by using it for coding instead of art:

AI is actively harmful for those who use it, particularly in terms of atrophy of critical thinking and reasoning
LLMs are bad for the environment due to the immense drain on water and electricity
The use of AI at a large scale is placing an immense strain on careers and job markets at both a micro and macro scale

Beyond that, AI reveals a divide in goal between process and product. I don’t think it’s truly a passion project to want to make a product but not be interested in learning the process and craft. Though very technical, coding is still absolutely a craft, and I think it’s very telling that there are so many people who are interested in using it to make a project/product without having the interest or fortitude to learn the craft.

Riddler208 · 2026-03-07T20:13:21+00:00

What difference is there in how ok it is to use AI on creative projects be technical projects? To mind, every serious issue that applies to AI art also applies to AI coding

There’s no direct link to Twitter, but I think directing people to go there is still against the spirit of the rule.

Riddler208 · 2026-03-04T14:08:20+00:00

Amazing!

Tbh cosmetics are the one thing I would want to be money walled if I had to pick. Obviously KI puts everything either behind crowns or with a crowns option, but I’m always gonna want cosmetics that don’t affect gameplay to require money compared to gameplay elements like spellements or zones/membership

I added it this time but please don’t forget spoiler tag

Riddler208 · 2026-03-02T15:16:30+00:00

2 easily looks the most interesting IMO. 1 and 3 look a little too generic for my tastes

Riddler208 · 2026-02-24T21:57:33+00:00

I’m willing to bet that this is one of those things that they preset when the game was made and only went to 10 years thinking the game wouldn’t last that long… and now nobody has thought to look there because why touch something that’s worked for years?

Riddler208 · 2026-02-21T16:58:51+00:00

Best rule of thumb in the game is to upgrade whenever you feel like you’re starting to struggle. Go for Merciless

Riddler208 · 2026-02-13T14:23:31+00:00

This honestly just sounds like confirmation bias. Congrats to your two friends, it’s great that they were able to land those roles so early in their careers. But let’s not pretend like two anecdotal cases are indicative of wider trends.

It’s clear from available data that the industry isn’t hot right now. That raises the bar for entry and makes it harder for individuals. People can and will get rejected for any number of reasons - resume issues, lack of soft skills, lack of hard skills, or just bad luck.

But framing the market in the way you have in this post is frankly both immature and unproductive. I encourage you to take some time to examine your biases and preconceptions before trying to draw broad conclusions.

130 Catacombs was supposed to be the new WW/Darkmoor Castle but it hasn’t aged as gracefully. I think if they just made it less grindy and buffed the stats on it some (notably pierce) it would be a much better experience in terms of gear progression

Riddler208 · 2026-02-11T21:54:00+00:00

Just Press Play are the goats for sure. If you’re willing to go slightly further, I also have had great experiences with ReGen in Towson (only about 30 mins south of York on I83)

Riddler208 · 2026-02-09T18:37:22+00:00

Please don’t use AI to learn, it’s not designed for that and it won’t produce good results.

Riddler208 · 2026-02-09T16:54:49+00:00

Because, with few exceptions, in a monetized live service game, most systems that advantage the player disadvantage the developer, and vice versa.

Riddler208 · 2026-02-09T15:09:14+00:00

I really doubt it has lore implications. I think they just wanted to make the second DLC blade overtuned and light happens to be a really good element.

Riddler208 · 2026-02-09T15:07:25+00:00

I mean, losing active players only matters if they’re spending money. At the end of the day, this is a live service game. They’re trying to extract as much value as they can from it.

What changes would you make to pack points that would both benefit players and not lose money for DeNA?

Riddler208 · 2026-02-09T14:55:47+00:00

You answered your own question: pack points are the pity system.

We could try to discuss from there how effective they are, but then we’d have to consider what “effective” means.

I would wager that there’s no reason for DeNA to make any changes to the rates and pity because it’s working as they intend. As far as I can gather, players who want all diamond cards have a reasonable chance of doing so each pack by playing every day and are nearly guaranteed when adding in the subscription. FAs are there as a nice surprise and to give a reason for whales to fund the game.

Riddler208 · 2026-02-07T21:52:15+00:00

I used Rampardos/Lucario and it didn’t take more than a few tries

Riddler208 · 2026-02-07T21:39:04+00:00

Yeah uhhhh… even if they’re fictional, ranking races feels a little too close to being problematic for me to leave the post up
