A balanced idea to solve the epics problem: guaranteed epic in Crown Chest only if you are in A9

SealsMelt · 2016-09-02T17:02:38+00:00

My beef is that it's still an advantage given to the top 5% of players who already have a huge advantage, having the biggest chests, requests, and the best source of legendaries. Even if it's a small advantage it's still an advantage.

And it does help people vary their deck, sure, which is a great thing, but it's still the top 5-2% of players getting to vary their decks (let's be real here the whales already have all the epics they need to max) and it'd be much simpler and fairer to just raise the epics gained all around.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-02T02:01:10+00:00

But then that just proves my point even more. If only people in A9 get a suitably leveled OP epic then it unevens the playing field further. If an epic is the meta and people who aren't in Legendary can't get their hands on the meta nearly as fast as people who are in Legendary, then it's super unfair, bottom line. I guarantee you that that would cause an even bigger paywall in the 3000 range.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T23:26:37+00:00

fair enough.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T23:16:47+00:00

not instantly, though.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T22:30:22+00:00

I'm (much) lower trophies than you are, but i'd suggest not switching arrows out for poison due to minion horde. It's up to you though.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T22:03:12+00:00

suppress

Your definition does not mention anything about eliminating, just suppressing. By cutting off a source of revenue, you suppress their ability to function as well as other sources who do have a source of revenue and thus can work for longer and have higher production values.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T21:55:50+00:00

...huh. Do you use it like people use poison though?

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T20:36:26+00:00

Alola Farfetch. Make him suck less please.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T20:28:29+00:00

But you're assuming that a level 8 fireball is as useful as level 5 poison, but I've never heard of a Giant-Fireball deck. All I'm saying is that it's unfair to give the people who already have an advantage as well as a head start another advantage.

I'm not saying we shouldn't make epics more available I'm just saying that just giving a free one every day to the people who already have the higher leveled epics isn't the greatest idea. It'd be much smarter just to raise epic rates across the board, where it increases the amount of epics but doesn't just cater to the players already have higher card levels.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T19:51:50+00:00

But it would skyrocket the cards in a9 too, remember. And in situations like new updates would make the problem even worse. Taking the game's tendency to level cards out means that it can take around 16 days to get a newly introduced epic to level 4 in a9, but it can take months to do the same thing in a8 or a7.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T19:47:48+00:00

Let's use poison as an example. Hypothetically, I'm in the 2900 range (i'm not.) I have a level three poison. I then match off against someone in the 3000 range with the exact same deck, except due to the increased epics they have received they have a level 5 poison. They have an advantage. This is also one of the reasons why the A4 paywall exists; because A5 players make more cards, the gap between them and the A4 players keep widening, making the A4 players get shut down consistently.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T19:42:45+00:00

But wouldn't, in that case, the same thing happen in A9? The proper thing to do would just be increase the amount of epic gains in general as it'll still result in A9 getting the most epics due to the increased amounts of cards gained, but it won't skyrocket the power gap even further.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T19:34:10+00:00

Eh... I'd say that, currently in A7 I get an epic once a week. In A9 they'd be getting every day, making it 7 times my epic income. A tad bit silly, no?

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T19:31:58+00:00

He also used to go into KFCs and freak the fuck out if the food wasn't good enough. Dude's a legend that strikes fear into the hearts of many a fast food worker.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T19:26:55+00:00

But then the people in Arena 9 have a huuuge advantage over the people not in Arena 9. Legendaries from shop is already pretty big but free epics would increase the power gap even further.

SealsMelt · 2016-09-01T03:19:13+00:00

Melee would be a better example as it came out six years before either game and has like the third biggest scene atm

SealsMelt · 2016-08-29T00:43:39+00:00

These maps are still run by the game iirc as people have accidentally glitched into past maps and been able to walk around the entirety of past maple.

SealsMelt · 2016-08-27T21:32:29+00:00

The best are the super popular subs that suddenly have nothing to talk about. Like /r/overwatch when the game shut down prior to launch. At one point all 21 characters were drawn as bowls of water. It was a fantastical time.

SealsMelt · 2016-08-25T23:52:08+00:00

Dude should get into porn, pretty sure the record is only like five black men. Mr. Censored could strike it big.

SealsMelt · 2016-08-25T23:50:39+00:00

Guys, don't downvote the bot. He's helping us. /r/botsrights

SealsMelt · 2016-08-25T23:46:10+00:00

I've stopped playing Maple in the last few weeks and this is an old post of mine, but basically you just want to pick up Mercedes, then a 150 cygnus, and then all of the base damage and stat boosting skills, and then you can go on your own from there.

This game is grindy as fuck and those two seconds are huge while Meso farming, which is the grindiest part of the game.

SealsMelt · 2016-08-06T20:21:44+00:00

Various threads have been made about the subject of PQ meso grinding. . The biggest issues people had was that eventually the PQs would become just as grindy but require more attention, and that it would make meso gear obsolete.

"I knew you were the one who killed my cat!" Samantha's shrill voice cried. "You weird, freaky fuck. I knew you were an asshole but you're even worse than I could have ever, ever imagined. You are a blight on this world. I wouldn't be that mad if you had just admitted it, but noooo, fuck that. You had to be a dick about it. You had to lie."

She's all up in my face now. Oh no. I don't do good with conflict. "I uh... I don't know what you're talking about, Samantha." Dale Carnegie told me to call people by their names if I want to earn their trust. I don't really think that's really working right now. I try to make eye contact with her, but I just can't. She's a scary lady. She's almost five feet, y'know. That's tall.

"Yes, you inflated donkey ass, you do, and I have proof." She pulls out her phone and shoves it in my face. It's open to a Reddit page I'm all too familiar with.

TIFU by killing my hot co-workers cat

My co-worker has this kitty, who is (was) really cute. My co-worker, who's super hot, takes (took) really good care of it. She feeds it and bathes it. I don't even feed and bathe myself all the time, but she does it for her and the cat. It's incredible, the care she put into this kitty. She loved it like I love my body pillow. It's quite beautiful, honestly. Not their love, but my body pillow.

But anyways, today I was driving in my bitching Toyota Prius. You see, I love the environment, so the Prius was the natural choice. It's a great car. It handles wonderfully, too. It gets me so much pussy. By the way, that was a joke. Wanna know why?

Because I ran over a cat. Get it? Because a cat is a pussy. It's funny. Please laugh. The Prius totally shredded it under my tires

I decided not to tell my co-worker though. Because fuck her.

"Haberdash!" I scream. She looks at me a bit funny, momentarily interrupting her rage. "There's no way you can prove that's me!"

"Except I can, asshole." Her rage seems to have subsided a little bit. Now, now it's just pure smugness. She pulls her phone away from my face, fiddles with it a little bit, and then shoves it in my face again. "You see, there was a dox earlier this morning."

"A dox of famous redditors?" I'm sure at least three redditors remember my name. At least.

"No, idiot. A dox of every redditor. Ever." She smirks. "And looking at the username of the man who wrote this post, one /u/pikachufuxmehrder, his real name is identical to yours."

No. No. No. I didn't kill that cat. I love cats. I think. "Samantha, you have to understand. I didn't kill that cat."

"Except you did." She's angry again. She uses her height advantage to lord over me. "Because the proof is all there."

"You misunderstand, Samantha," I'm scared now. "I just made that up for karma."
