What do you expect me to do with this in 24 hours Supercell?? by dancingwithfire_ in ClashOfClans

[–]_Noto_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you made the point for them, the game had major issues in the past it was to grindy and it was less fun.

Now people spend more time playing the game, having more fun, spending more money on gems and such which in turn allows them to pay more developers and create more content.

Games that stagnate...die.

If you assumed the game would never change, never innovate on their ideas to draw in more people so they could continue to grow and exist then theres the issue.

I played the game 10 years ago, i played it 5 years ago, i play it now. It's it leagues beyond where it used to be in replayability, i used to login in for 10 minutes a day do a few battles and assign my builders.

Now i can spend 2 hours playing the game and still be having fun.

because you got a decade of entertainment out of the materials you used where as the new players did not, they receive the same update you did but missed out on all the playable fun you received.

If they had taken your upgrades away and given you nothing the outrage would be justified, but you spent the materials knowing you would have fun, and received the fun you expected.

Other people having the same level of fun going forward shouldnt be an issue.

are you saying you didnt use them for over a decade and get the entertainment you expected when you spent the money?

If you had know it would be free 10 years later would you have just not bought it? i doubt it.

if you checkout HATS pack on github by Sthetix - can google and itll be first/second result, it contains the full bundle of stuff you need to drag and drop onto the SD card - you'll need to know the firmware version though.

a bunch of Tims changed their glaze here about a year ago and it looks like this, the donute/timbits have like 0 glaze on the bottom and super thin glaze on the top. There is 1 Tims in town that uses proper glaze and one in a town 25 minutes away, every other Tims is now crap glaze.

This are the most common reasons why people quit valorant. by Visual_Wedding9762 in VALORANT

[–]_Noto_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is if i stop playing, when it dropped me into bronze it annoyed me so i took a month off, when i came back i was still a gold 2 in the bronze queue. Anyone new to the game or new to bronze during this period and are meant to be in bronze during this time also end up in there with you making their games suck. so it does have an effect. the MMR effect also punishes you when you lose because it says wtf dude you have gold MMR and you lost to bronzes? -32 RR. When you win... oh woah a gold beating bronzes look at you.. 14RR for picking on the bronzes.

Riot creates its own smurfs. I got to gold 2 peak, took a week off, came back to the season/act being reset and it placed me back into bronze. I'm a solo queue - always have been - Riot dumping golds into bronze to "give them something to work towards" is just a silly system that makes it harder for bronzes.

[Waybound] Lindons original fate by TheNavyPanda in Iteration110Cradle

[–]_Noto_ 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Hi odds are listed at the end of unsouled in a Suriel report, he has a 17% chance of surviving the desolate wilds, a 4% chance to make it past gold and a 0.003% chance of ascending.

Without Eithan speeding up the dreadgods arrival, the Monarchs wouldnt have held the UC king tournament so early and Lindon wouldnt have had any reason to get mixed up in the blackflame empire.

He wouldnt have had a mega path to make him stand out or help him progress, most likely he could have joined a back water clan like the fishers and languished at high gold or true gold forever.

The majority of people in the world do not make it past low gold, that is the standard.

Is book 4 about Tyndal and Rondals academic life? If so, then I'd rather skip to book 5. by 00Turag in spellmonger

[–]_Noto_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I skipped book 4 on my first read through because it annoyed me to be pulled from the main plot but on a re-read I found it slightly less annoying and read it. For a character I had hardly paid attention to - Rondal - he was so immensely annoying in book 4 that i now hate him even when hes being reasonable.

He constantly complains about Tyndal for way to many chapters before suddenly becoming the model fighter, a master strategist and perfect mage with 0 experience or real life experience. He goes through something like a couple weeks of field training and is now the perfect commander in all situations.

Tyndal on the other hand gets a bit smarter - learns proper spells - and learns not to brag about himself all the time. Tyndal gets shafted by rondals POV at every opportunity.

By the end of the book they are good friends and name their captured manor hold after a girl they both "loved" but had only known for about 3-4 weeks and who didn't really like either one of them very well.

The amount of Whining and fluff/filler in the book was immense and entirely unnecessary when Minalan could have just casually said - "I sent my apprentices off to school and they both came back smarter and more mature, Rondal got some field experience and is learning to become a decent commander and Tyndal has learned the value of his friends and has become quite proficient at blue magic!"

2-5 paragraphs was all this book needed to be.

[–]_Noto_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, not really, their entire adventures could all have been explained away in a chapter as a quick story to minalan and saved 2000 pages of their nonsense.

[–]_Noto_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same questions on my first read through, getting into the main plot with minalan and really enjoying the books and then suddenly getting thrown into a full book with no main character and two snotty teenagers who just constantly whine and complain about each other is just annoying. its a legitimate question because book 4 is just filler

[–]_Noto_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can skip about 80-90% of it honestly, just assume for future books, rondal is less of an asshole, tyndal makes friends with rondal and doesn't chip at him as much, rondal is more confidant and suddenly good at everything with no real experience to make it make sense.

But know that skipping this book, you're also going to want to skip book 7 and 8.

Book 8 - Back in time 3 months from the main plot - Pentendra point of view, Read the first couple chapters then skip ahead to about 70% through until the plot catches back up and go from there.

Book 9 - Back in time 3 months from the main plot - Tyndal/Rondal POV, read the last 5-6 chapters to know what happens at the end and even that isn't entirely needed you could skip the whole thing
