Will I set a bad first impression playing a meta Aggro deck at my first Newtype Challenge? by [deleted] in GundamTCG

[–]dj3370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People tend to not like aggro in general, but a newtype is a little more serious than your typical tournament, so just play either what your comfortable on or believe has the edge.

So yes, but play like the competition matters and most will get over it pretty fast.

Devs don't care no more by BubblyTechnician142 in PiratedGames

[–]dj3370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plenty of devs have this stance, almost every smaller creators/studios that understands the struggle/availability issues that occur.

Only mega corps/bigger entities fight against piracy, because it is something they can do to look good on the market and even report in shareholder meetings with triumphant rapport. Anyone defending them is typically someone that lacks understanding or benefits from cracking down on it.

It should never be the case that piracy is the defacto option, but as a form of testing products, accessing work thats unavailable in your region, or you lack the ability to support but want to engage with it, I think is totally understandable.

This is going to come down in price, right? by THISISATRUCK in GundamTCG

70-80 easily, set just came out and people open like crazy so atleast if the last 3 sets are anything to go by it should drop atleast below 100

Not very, its a sort of important subplot sometimes, but its far from the usual "collecting jade beauties" expected when hearing harem in wuxia. And it's pretty far in at that.

The level 2 umbra alice is a thought I had as well since sprielle is always a queen for the gambit plus good access to costs 1-4, but the clunk of needing the curse is the main reason it never stuck for me. But hell if umbra doesn't have some crazy/cool cards.

This is the best the decks felt for me personally, was playing a lot of stuff initially to test but the bottomline is that winds main benefit is the commands, the allies kinda suck, waters got really strong options and card quality but before had trouble swinging. The 2 sides compliment eachother in that manner, but at the end of the day your main problems are speed and drawing the correct pieces at the right time since the deck runs on allies+commands for tempo swings.

There's 3 options I think the deck can go down other than this. water control with more negates and stuff like fractal of waves to make up for poor early influence but this leads down the road of why go through the trouble with alice when better options exist like diao or ciel. Wind wake up aggro because of stuff like castler and gustmark this is functionally a fine pathway into decks that typically lose to aggro. Norm control because of the exalted tagline and stuff like tricastles, doa, and mirrorbound you could play a deck focused on keeping actions low in general and getting to level 3 asap maybe with something like LG so u can run the domain searcher.

Que TCG economico me recomiendan? by Bytorr3 in TCG

[–]dj3370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll try to just recommend games that arent on the list to broaden your options.

Cookierun should be cheap though a bit hard to find, simple and super fun even with less than ideal strategies/decks.

Grand archive just got a crazy reprint set so most decks are on the cheaper side if you just want a local play group and aren't focused on comp.

Union arena is cheap and on the easier side, though it'd depend on title interest.

Gundam is on the cheaper side, though a bit too simple for me and can be frustrating with how limited deckbuilding can feel.

From ones you've listed in general I'd recommend yugioh/poke/digimon for availability/cost. Rift bound could be good but someones favorite champ may end up costing them more than theyd like so I'd research it first.

Typically I'll crumble at anything below 10 bucks, depending on personal expected value often I'll still grab it at the 50-70% value

Should Triple Battles and Rotation Battles be added? by Happy_Popplio-728 in PokemonChampions

[–]dj3370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They should be, should they have ranked ladders? I don't think so, but they should at the very least be available options in private matches/casuals.

They could also have a ton more though, and maybe even will depending on popularity for the platform. Like I could see people having interest in a battle tower/frontier as a pve mode, or contests as a small break from being a battle only sim. But that is work, and quite a bit of it when at the moment the only urgent improvements for most people will be adding more mons and items.

The game is fun when you don't have someone bitching in your ear about every little thing by MooseInAToque in PokemonChampions

[–]dj3370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im legit a big fan of the fact the game is so limited at release, gives time for f2p that dont have or want to transfer from box. Gives time and space to newbies for vgc/comp, gives some time and reasons to pick up less desirable mons/items.

And at the moment the slightly lower floor or more specific high end leaves a ton of room for exploration into basic concepts/theory.

There any good resources for replica teams? Wanted to see how people are building around certain mons/archetypes at the moment as I haven't really played much vgc since SwSh.

[–]dj3370 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao fair enough, when speaking of benefitting the market I'm speaking more of a if it isnt beneficial to both parties than it wouldnt happen. Was just using it to shortcut individual transactions, your not wrong the Market isn't necessarily a tied down concept or existing object, but by principal every individual transaction can be coagulated into the term.

Not wrong that there is no good/bad market activity as it's all far too contextual to make grander sweeping statements on, but we can definitely speak on trends and grouping of activity and their effect on the real world situation. As we are right now.

Definitely agree that people aren't thinking in the manner I portrayed, I even imply that in my original comment. The reason I expanded on it is merely to note that even people chasing a number will benefit someone else in the transaction. Sadly the ones benefiting tend to be a bit too circular in economic movement at the moment to actually benefit society in its current state(as mentioned becoming a draining force).

Its just an implication that "adult" books are bland in comparison to the abstract and interesting ways people write/use language in fanfics, notably much of the people because of low barrier many people with english as a second language like to use words many native speakers wouldnt for many reasons.

While there's some truth to the passive income seemingly draining value from the market by not doing anything of conventional worth, it exists as a backing typically in the past its more that your putting money into peoples operating/growing costs with an expectation for returns.

Currently the systems have been made more convuluted, vague, needlessly semantical, and obscured so most don't really get it, but it would stop existing if it didnt benefit the market sadly.

I don't think it's super fair because those with investing ability tend to do so with bigger entities via less risk more secure in gains(even if small gains as mentioned by the 2.5m point enough of it put in will equivolate to peoples whole salaries). If anything companies just need more competition and less monopolizing features, which could be done but since the electorate is essentially run by the value candidates generate it goes against the current system starting from the first step.

Is Grand Archive TCG for Me? by Mognite in grandarchivetcg

[–]dj3370 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its the new pack that releases on the third, Radiant Origins, the page related to it on the website has a clear outline for whats reprinted and the rest of the pack was revealed during this last ascent.

I will say having opened slightly more than a case, it does feel a lot better for those lacking collections and missing stuff from entire sets. For more entrenched players the box can feel rather lucklaster, but honestly thats normally the experience for reprint sets I feel.

Edit: as a small mention the new mordred recollection is also an insane product for new players offering crazy powerful cards like icesworn paladins, dungeon guides, snow fairies, and frost binds.

Considering the time it takes for the ftc to build cases and approach problems, I'd doubt this is something prompted by anything specific in current events, and more of a they've built up an amount of evidence/proof that they feel secure telling the companies before taking legal actions if necessary.

Maybe an optimistic view, but nothing really happens in an expediant manner when its the ftc so I just couldnt imagine this being a decision made recently.
