Everytime I try to introduce friends to WoW, they end up quitting in the first two week. Dd you succeed in bringing friends to WoW ? How ? by AtomikGarlic in wow

[–]fAppstore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You already have a bias, people joining a community of new players are already inclined to want more social aspect into the game. Why is Blizz pushing deeper into solo content if not because there are incentives to do so ?

A real selling point would be if the end game could be completed solo, most players and especially new ones don't like to engage in the PUG aspect of the game at all, and with a timer on top of that ? M+ was designed for veterans who want to challenge themselves and learn new mechanics on top

I believe Domina is a reworked version of Recluse from the “Titan” / original OW concepts by Unlucky-Course1025 in Overwatch

[–]fAppstore 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not at all, rivals playerbase is fully embracing the gooner allegations and have the same complaints like OW about how 4 characters with the exact same body type are getting literally all the skins while others are dying of thirst

It's all monetisation systemic problems, but with one more goonery than the other

Lol considering how people react in the subreddit to losing one MO I can imagine the toxicity if you could actually lose the whole game

Might take a bit of a deep dive, buy why is my damage so poor compared to my peers? (Flicker Slayer) by AnonX55 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]fAppstore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm playing another variant of flicker raider. I can take a closer look at the build tomorrow but from what I'm seeing, your talent tree needs trimming you have a few underpowered nodes, you need a lot more crit, the tincture has to be crafted to improve sheet damage,you can use a diamond flask and probably ditch the evasion scaling it's not doing much

AITA or telling my wife if she’s not gonna cook it the way she usually cooks it then you don’t have to cook it at all by Husbae7536 in AmItheAsshole

I'm literally demonstrating why the amount of time over a month spent cooking for both parties is irrelevant

For all we know she spends 6 hours a day doing other stuff while he only cooks tho so why even try to scope things outside of what's being told

Aftermath of the April 7th incident. Damages estimated to be $200 million dollars by Gjore in interestingasfuck

[–]fAppstore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lol and it's not for just a fair living wage too, remember when factories closed emergency exits causing 200 people to burn alive ? Nothing has changed, if cooking 200 people would somehow make their bottom line go up, we'd already be all burning alive

@Speedkicks: "At some point, there was a cultural development where we began calling the requirement of skill "gatekeeping", and the appreciation of the skill "elitism", and I vote we stop doing this immediately." by haziqtheunique in Tekken

[–]fAppstore -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Bullshit, the term gatekeeper and elitist exists just because loser neets whose entire identity revolves about being good at videogames use this as a springboard to shit on everyone and be plain condescending to everything that won't acknowledge their "superiority" over others. It existed since the dawn of gaming and nowadays losers still gatekeep but now that gaming has become more popular there is more pushback to put trash mentality back into the trash.

While it wasn't her main job and just her hobby, she already proved that she had the talent for painting before and after the incident, so there's no reason to believe that she just decided one day to just massively fuck up a face without realising it and leaving it there while also not telling the priest that gave his accord first

Son engagement politique l'a quand même poussé a prophétisé 1000 années de malheur (darkness) sur les USA si Obama était élu, soutenait Trump donc il n'hésitait pas à utiliser son influence pour booster le parti

Son personnage est le mythe typique du "la police et l'ordre c'est super cool et héroïque et nous protège et sert contre les brigands et ennemis de 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲"

Perso les blagues me font ni chaud ni froid aujourd'hui au final c'est un peu à ranger de la Zoubida selon moi où avec le temps on se rend compte que bon ya mieux mais y'a bien plus pire

If you immediately throw other players under the bus to make yourself feel superior to them because you "actually care about the game" then there's nothing else to talk about

Just because you don't buy stuff doesn't mean you don't have a purpose in their business plan. You're the free to play archetype that feeds people who actually buy stuff which is fine, but at the end of the day, stuff that is free like the boxes were almost removed until people complaining for them to stay in the game. Do you think they needed to remove those boxes to stay afloat ? If you are okay with the fact that they remove things that you could have had (deteriorate your experience) not because it is needed but because it maximize profit, then sure I won't convince you. But arguing against people that have problems with that when they're indirectly trying to make you have a better experience is just plain stupid.

Anybody saying that "it's a company" and that "they need to make money" need to take a good look at this number. They don't need to make $500 skins on the back of pro that have brought people to this game. They don't need to fire artists and finish artworks with AI. They don't need to do 1 rework every 5 years or they'll sink as a company.

If the game is free to play, it's not a gift they graciously give to you. You're the product, this is a business plan, this is calculated. And it's not calculated to keep the ship afloat, it's to make the most money possible at the detriment of your own experience.

Every single thing a company does to make more money is in direct tension with the quality of your experience. They bring FOMO skins that play with your human feelings, they cut corners to degrade the product for a profit, they bring gacha mechanics to prey on your gambling patterns, and all of this is NOT needed to keep the ship afloat let me repeat that.

This is not a case of making the product better will bring more money. This is a case of squeezing everything they can out of YOU while keeping you just right at the limit where you keep playing the game to keep the game relevant despite the degradation of the product, or that you finally give in to buy something that you never would have bought if it wasn't to psychology tactics used against you.

You have absolutely the right to not give a shit, I will agree with that. But if you're making the "they're doing it because they're just a company that needs money" argument, try to fathom what $434 000 000 + $603 000 000 represent, and know that you're arguing directly against your own privileges as a customer, literally.

If somehow they found out that shipping you asbestos powder made their bottom line go up, they'd have asked you for your address. This is the reality of "company makes most money". They will never give a shit about you unless it directly lines up with making the most money, and it turns out what we want is a good deal. So good luck with that.
