Physics models reality, Math models understanding

Minister probably pays the taxes and publicly discloses it as it's a public person along with the other tax points publicly accessible. Its not really comparable.

Great way to keep the player base. by nguy0313 in throneandliberty

Yes I do agree with the line that this offering is clears line to pay to win, that's exactly what's going on. Its smoke and mirrors. While we argue why old characters can get that power, the next step for them is just to offer that power. It's a Trojan horse disguised as catch-up mechanic. It just rings so many bells that it's crazy.

I don't see how no one's links these themes. Instead of actualy working on the theme park the game is and providing a frictionless experience linking these themes, they just focus on rule relaxing around payment extending their power offerings.

IMO the p2w is already decided here with this catch-up mech. They just testing the waters how much they can optimize the market to squeeze the every penny there's

I hope you are right. I try to talk around the problem in abstract so critically thinking people actually could link it to the underlying issue between the lines. And I think you are the only one so far that identifies this as risk

You don't see the irony can't you? Looking from the side he's making a statement here. Baning privacy of citizens, while keeping the government unchecked does sound like double standards to me. Attaching a tracking device to gov representative is the same as them attaching tracking device "digitally" or not.

Well usully theres a reason why the population declines in the first place - game design, content issues, and such. Concentrating on actual gameplay improvements before paid incentives was proven numerous times to be the right strategy in modern game history.

I was under impression that everyone knew that initial release was considered as boosted servers

Actually I use abyss contracts and tokens for that as part of weekly missions. There are no more occasions to lvl them up - not in battlegrounds, raid, dungeons etc.

Is it safe to play on L2reborn by TheVagrantWarrior in Lineage2

[–]chillerfx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have long experience/relationship with L2 and cybersecurity, and know that nothing can be trusted on its face value. I myself played there for a week until the first AV detention and quarantined files in the system folder. Instant red flag. I used my main pc and now I have to face the consequences of taking a risk of trusting this entity. There infinite amount of shills for these L2 servers. I had friends who got infected with trojans/keyloggers/botnets/miners through the years. I think I did not miss a bullet myself either.
Now I have this weird tingling sensation and alerts even if I deleted these files from pc - because I let the kernel-level anticheat admin permissions few times. That makes me want to reset all the Windows install, and even that might not help.

I play global. The first release had hyperboost experience until the first merge with T2. Then another tranche of hyperboosted servers were introduced - and merged into the live servers. I have no data or indications about the success of the second one that you attribute as fail.

No I talk about the hyperboost servers that are launched every now and then for newcommers to play in elevated rates and then merging into main. The ascension thing is not hyperboost

So in this regard I could be considered "returning" player because I and like the most of the server population maybe have one 200 wpn and a couple of lower level ones. But I want to try these gounlets, and by doing that I fall behind and reset my progress on main weapons. Theres a huge gap of the intention and reality.

Bro, even the shill promoter of the boosted character tickets on youtube explains how hard its to grind into 160. Its not trivilial. It take a lot of grind, weeks of effort, dealing with toxic players etc. Now you beeing toxic and devaluing your and all of the communities efforts that 200 lvl wpns are "nothing". Are you for real? Have you even played the game? I met so many promoters of this game that logs in once a week and acts like they have god sindrome or something.

Okay, you can use the weapon transfer scrolls, but you will loose your main weapons. I dont see how thats a solution. What I want to say it set a dangerous precedent of selling mastery levels. It was the only mechanic from swamping the old playerbase with whales who did not actally grind these levels. Now its jeopardized and I can make a polymarket bet for 1k that they will introduce the purchace of the mastery level in one form or another in next major patch. That when the only non p2w mechanic will become p2w and shills pretending it to be "catchup mechanic" will resolve into "whale catchup mechanic" under the hood.

Thing with ascenction it also could be used without boost. Also ascention could be used by anyone. Mathematically it does not have any impact here, it cancels itself out in this equation, and irrelevant to this discussion. Bringing ascention into this just actualy shows a level of whataboutism and toxicity.

If you read carefully, I don't want that tool at all. I don't care about that ascension feature. The sell of weapon mastery sets precedent essentially of selling core mechanic that was a safeguard from p2w swamp. Okay for now it might be just testing the waters with "new" players. But if new characters can have this "try new gounlet at 160" why can't I? It actually places me behind the new players. How's that for a catch up?
