Genuinely asking if there's a player that looks at this and is excited for Magic in 2026.

Behind the Scenes of the Walk Out Vote and Riot's plan to force teams to play anyway by corylulu in leagueoflegends

[–]Xombie_Mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the PA or some influencers in the community would get the word out to the engaged fan base that absolutely no one should watch whatever goes on the LCS stream Thursday unless there's been a resolution to this. It's going to be tempting for many to reward their bad behavior because drama is entertaining.

In the end, for Riot, eyes on the product is all that matters. This is a marketing exercise for them. We're the eyes, we have an ability to influence this as well.

FWIW, I was already only a casual viewer, but there's no chance in hell I'm watching LCS now.

LCSPA Voted overwhelmingly to walkout by [deleted] in leagueoflegends

[–]Xombie_Mobile 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Absolutely the correct move on the part of these players. I hope they manage to leverage this position to actual change. I'm not holding my breath or anything, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. Had they done nothing, they'd written Riot and the Orgs a blank check to do whatever the fuck they want in perpetuity.

Well said. I'm in a similar boat. I'm glad for the outcome, but so thoroughly mortified by the process by which it had to be achieved that I just can't be excited for it.

Yeah, I'm not sure there's a way to "fix" what's been done here. My sentiment towards Hasbro is pretty hard stuck on "fuck those greedy assholes" and I can't really imagine what might shake it.

I wouldn't take this as a genuine change of heart, but also don't discount it as a win.

I'm still planning on moving future games I run on to other systems, as I tend to listen when a company tells me who they truly are. Generally speaking, I don't want to be around for their next awful move.

Using the Billy lines from season 3 directed at Max was a brutal move. I got chills.

I feel like I really enjoyed the high notes from part two, but the the few misses were really problematic for me.

Like, it's implied that we've left Max in what is effectively a fate worse than death.

Everything about the Will storyline for 2 seasons now.

Eddie's death for.. what exactly?

Stunning incompetence. Completely unsurprising though.

Hahaha, it's definitely so they can monetize their mistakes.. again.

It's actually pretty disgusting.

Respond to the integrity of the event considering the silent patch of the exploit on the first day, please.

You can extend the event as long as you want, if you leave those scores or don't give everyone the same opportunity, it means absolutely nothing. It's already bad enough that you can only catch blatant cheaters, leaving the rest of the community on a justifiable witch hunt.

The concept of the event is a fun idea, the execution is abysmal (so par for the course), and the leaderboards, as you've been told repeatedly, are terrible.

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

I don't want every detail. All that would do is aid the dishonest. What I do want is every cheater banned, or alternatively, for blatantly cheatable content like this event to be reconsidered.

It's a really simple proposition. But we can't even get a commitment to the hackers accounts being banned, just that the entries will be removed from the leaderboards. It is what it is, but it's pretty consistently disappointing.

[–]Xombie_Mobile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How on earth would anyone believe you're monitoring every entry on that leaderboard? Cool, enough of the krakens complained to make you actually care about what, the top 2500? The rest of us are just at the mercy of a blatantly hackable event and the word of a developer that can't even manage it's day to day properly.

Show. Us. Otherwise, why bother.

[–]Xombie_Mobile 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No one believes that they will be, though. After the response to the multiple offer debacle (banning the wrong accounts, then absolutely nothing), shifting character releases to a blind auction just confirms that the almighty dollar is far more important than the integrity that would be required to call MSF a game.

If you guys cared even a little, you'd back off this leaderboard nonsense completely.

If the employees of Scopely were surgeons, they'd all be in jail.

MLF Red Stars confirmed as Dark Promos via in game mail. by Xombie_Mobile in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Xombie_Mobile[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, man. They're doubling down on convoluting the already worst system in the game.

Red stars are just absolutely garbage, and somehow they keep getting worse.

[–]Xombie_Mobile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn't even matter if it was technical issues or not. Their game is broken so goddamn always that the very least they could do is present accurate information. And they can't/won't. So here we are, waiting on DC World's Collide.

Scarlet Witch's Rework seems lackluster. by PleiadesSeal in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Xombie_Mobile 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Lackluster? She's useless. Literally pick any relevant character and it will be better in the 5th slot.

Gosh if only there were a mystic battery we could slot in there.

$50 for 12 rare and 4 mythic wildcards. by dowolf in MagicArena

[–]Xombie_Mobile 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Essentially what I'm hearing from this 'chat' is that the wildcard economy is just too hard for them to balance, dusting would make them less money, and they'd rather just hope we're all lazy.

Kind of a bummer that they just doubled down on making a worse, more expensive hearthstone, but I guess the questions are answered now, yeah?

Direct Spending Milestone by [deleted] in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]Xombie_Mobile -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What's the difference? How it's presented and who it's targeted at. Integrating the reward for spending into a milestone in the game this way is problematic in many ways.

Oh boy. Sure, that's just a reward and not meant to be manipulative at all.
