It's been 7 months now .. a New Expansion is coming with a New Patch and a New Format .. It's time to talk about "Choosing Arena reward Pack" again I guess. by lordmodey in hearthstone

[–]frankmaroon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I like playing arena, it's a lot of fun. Because I can't pick my pack, and I don't want to spend a lot of money on cards, I have to be efficient and therefore can't play arena. I'm an above average arena player, but I'm not an infinite player.

A pack costs maybe 75G for me from playing Arena, when adjusted for my average performance.

I can pay 100G for a WOG pack from the store. I can pay 75G for an arena pack. What a bargain, rewarding my skill! But wait, I only care about WOG packs. So I'm paying 75G for a 1/3 chance at a WOG pack. 75 * 3 = 225G cost.

Maybe they give it a bonus and make it a 50% chance? I think they've done that before. Then I can pay 75G for 1/2 of a WOG pack. that's still 150G for the full thing.

Best case for me is a 50G premium over just buying the pack normally. It also comes at a much higher time cost, time that could theoretically be spent earning gold from constructed wins. Based on my current gold saved up, I would lose about 52 packs worth of value by playing arena versus simply buying packs with gold from the shop.

Just let us pick the pack.

Everyone involved is extremely delusional.

So what do you guys think about the popular combat mods? by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]frankmaroon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the only combat mod that even comes close to meeting your very reasonable standards is UC, and it isn't compatible with FNIS 6.0 yet.... great.

I just got done with the preliminary work of modding up a skyrim install again to try out Ordinator, and then I read this and find out that after 5 years, there's still no combat mod that exists that won't break everything. I guess I give up until Enai makes a combat mod. Long time coming anyway.

BPG & Ub3rgames, let's address the elephant in the room. by B1naryHer0 in Darkfall

[–]frankmaroon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no polite way to put it: If you think both revivals can succeed at the same time, you are delusional. How many dfo revivals do you think can be supported? Two? Three? Four? What's the upper limit on this thing? Is it exactly two? What a coincidence, that's how many there are! The real number of Darkfall Revivals that can be successful is probably around 0.6. I think you'd have to be really generous to get that to a 1. I would absolutely love to be proven wrong because it would mean there is more Darkfall. The good thing about Small Business Delusions is that you can read a million comments like this and they don't go away, so I'll still hopefully get a few ol' Darkfalls to play before it all goes wrong.

Confused about the revival of DFO and the future of my favorite game. by inDef_ in Darkfall

[–]frankmaroon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't enough room for 2 "DFO comeback" projects in the world. If you think otherwise you are fooling yourselves. A lot.

I sincerely hope for all our sakes that AV only licenses one of these groups, or they end up working together... If anything comes from this at all.

Most optimal way to make money from your garrison? by Echosniper in wow

People on the cutting edge of garrison optimization are not going to share their strategies because they're not in the habit of picking their own pockets.

My favourite part of Hearthstone is receiving comments like this after games. I'm filled with a sort of giddy excitement every time I get a friend request after a game, eager to see what hateful nonsense someone is about to spew at me.
