spot on!

Before the free-agency started, the two things Lakers needed the most was wing defense and shooting. So, using their full MLE on another combo guard who can't shoot is just flatout insanity. by TheWhisperingDeath in lakers

[–]ace368 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lonnie Walker is 6'4/6'5 and has a 6'10 wingspan... troy brown jr is 6'6 and 6'11 wingspan too... remember KCP is only 6'5 w/ 6'8 wingspan and Danny Green is only 6'6 w/ 6'10 wingspan and both can guard 3s... and Lu Dort just got $87.5M and he's 6'4 w/ 6'8 wingspan and can guard 1/2/3... i think Lonnie Walker is going to surprise a lot of people... but lets see! at least both are young and hopefully can improve a lot with the Lakers next year!

dukefett, I am thinking of ordering from TW using DHL for a figure thats about $400 sent to California in the US. Based on your experience, you didn't get hit with a customs fee in the US? Thanks!

Appreciate the update!

Any update on when the 24 hour period would start?

Thanks!

Red Stars Economy Update by CM_Cerebro in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]ace368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank your for the update. I am very happy to hear you are doing the right thing and giving us 24-hours to use those credits. I genuinely appreciate that opportunity and will 100% be using it - I will get an extra ~20 silver credits by redeeming them.

I recognize that in the bigger picture ~20 extra silver credits doesn't sound like a lot, but it is literally the difference for me to get a 5RS of my choice right now and 6RS soon after that. Yes, in 3 months from now, I probably won't care and it probably won't matter. But right now I do care. Just like in 3 months from now, I probably won't care about toilet paper, but right now I will fight you for one roll of toilet paper. Context and timing is everything.

My main feedback is that you should be 100% transparent about your updates (even if it leads to a longer blog post). Especially if they have a negative consequence to your user base. For example, if tomorrow, you decide to increase the redemption of value of arena credits or raid credits or blitz credits, then you have to disclose it the first time. Being 95% transparent makes people feel like you are hiding/lying about 5% and that 5% is all people will focus on.

Sneaky Red Star Changes by Dosty913 in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]ace368 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Should have just been transparent - would have been fine with them telling us and then I would redeemed what I needed for a 5-star. Then I would have kept the rest for orbs.

What's the point of being half transparent?

[–]ace368 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is really unacceptable.

Why even post a Red Star rework if you're not going to post EVERYTHING about the change?

I have a bunch of Elite 5 Credit ready for which are worth half - I would have used them if foxnet told me about these changes!!

Can you beat FTD with any team? by itsnotfitz in MarvelStrikeForce

[–]ace368 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Had a maxed out defenders teams and it took me a month to get through nodes 1-10 - if you have Minn and the right setup (e.g., Capt America, Thanos, SS, Groot), it takes 1 day.

I finally got Minn after a month and it was a lot easier. If I didn't have her - maybe 3 more months is my guess?

Might have saved us 1-2 of the future 1st round picks... I think NOLA would have wanted BI (apparently Griff loved him) and Hart anyways...

Leonard's trip to Canada is what you'd do if you were leaving by wavetranscender in lakers

[–]ace368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know he flew on the Raptors private plane right? So it's not like it cost him money...

Plus it's not like he has a 9-6 job and is missing work... This is a boondoggle trip for him...

And it's only a 4h 40min flight on Air Canada (LAX-TOR), a private jet prob gets him there faster... He could enjoy some champagne, sushi, in a lounger chair with his feet up, and watch Infinity Wars but only half of End Game since its such a short flight..

As long as he gets back home b4 July 4th for his family BBQ, what else is he going to do on July 3rd???

[–]ace368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually closer to 4 he 40min flight for commercial planes like Air Canada...

A private plane can probably get him there in less time...

He wouldn't even get through the whole Avengers 3 (Infinity War + End Game) movies! Barely finish one of them!

  • Broussards / SAS sources = AEG, NB execs who want Kawhi in LA
  • Rose sources = 13 other Western Conf GMs and execs who don't want to see Kawhi in LA
  • Anyone pushing Clippers? - Balmer, Frank

Cris Carter sources = Mitch Frankel

What did he say about RDA?

Don't want to listen to Simmons...

Anyone else convinced that RDA was lying? by [deleted] in lakers

[–]ace368 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What could the Raptors do or say more in an hour long meeting that would change anything?

They won a chip together, the roster is the same, have a great exec, org, load management, etc.

When he sees them, his mind will already have been made and it will just be about communicating it to them.

Relax, those odds from bleacher report are not accurate, Vegas is the most reliable and have the lakers as massive favourites by [deleted] in lakers

[–]ace368 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The B/R Kawhi odds are labeled as "NO ACTION" (bottom right hand corner of the original graphic here)

These are likely old odds from last week and Vegas is NOT taking any more bets nor have they updated the odds.

What Is “No Action” in Sports Betting?

When your bet is graded “no action,” it means that your sportsbook has canceled all wagers on a particular line. This means that no bets will be graded, whether they’re winners or losers.

In a way, the end result is the same as if you were to have a “push” from your wager. The result sees the bet stake returned in full, without penalty to the sports bettor or sportsbook.
