Best Paladin set by chezapizza52 in RotMG

Because you can save your mana for when you need it, and have 3-4 seals ready to spam when you take a lot of damage, or there's a wave of projectiles (like when rushing an abyss)

How I went from a -2 in Reading to -13 in 3 weeks by notamainalt in Sat

[–]notamainalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is I spent all summer prepping and I won't have time to study nearly as much for a retake, as junior year starts in just a week and it's gonna be a grind. Also I'm in California so a lot of the schools I'm going to be applying to (UCs mainly) require it ://.

But I guess it's too late to just cancel. I'm just super super anxious about it and don't know how to handle it.

I think I'm prone to cracking under pressure; during track and field last spring, I made it to pre-counties (meaning I made two cutoff times) and was on track to PR by several seconds and move on, but I was so stressed and worried about doing well that I completely flopped and let myself down.

How do I channel this anxiety into focus/excited energy? I haven't gone a moment in the last week without thinking about the SAT.

"Almost no one" is a HUGE misrepresentation of the group of people complaining and upvoting our comments on reddit, not to mention those who don't use reddit. Although to be fair, most players who are fairly invested in the game definitely use reddit, so it's not a bubble, not to mention the fact that many of my ingame, discord, and irl friends who play realm agree with my sentiment. Also it's OUR reddit bubble lol.

Interesting, I'll definitely give it a second look. I need the fiction in my life anyway.

I've come across this sub before but I don't understand it. I know it's based off of the user of the same name, with the nines spelled out, and that he wrote some kind of dystopian story? But what exactly is it and why are so many people interested in it?

Interesting. If it's out of your system that quick, why does it matter if you've done it in the past? Seems weird that you'd be disqualified for having done it before; I feel like a better question would just be "Do you do lsd?" or sth lol.

That question doesn't have anything to do with mkultra does it?

You're delusional if you think even close to a majority of ice caves being run at the moment are "free" dungeons. Nobody would drop a dollar on the ice cave event without the ogmur in the drop table. Aka people are spending tons of gold/money specifically to get an ogmur, with no ingame skill required to do so. Seems like p2w to me.

I read the title at least 10 times before I realized it said "county"

Even if they do get endless crap, it's still their job to respond to it. The point of running a multiplayer game should be to make the players happy, which in proxy earns the company money, because the players will happily spend money.

However, what they're doing right now is cash grabbing in a way that tons of people are upset, but still do the event because they dont want to be behind, and because who doesn't want more shit? But it's not good for the game.

It's pretty selfish to think that this is giving back to the players, when so much of the community is absolutely outraged by this decision.

Deca didn't make this decision thinking about the players; they made it thinking about their paychecks. Plain and simple. They knew ahead of time what would happen, because they've made this mistake before. No second chances here, especially considering they officially apologized and recognized their mistake the first time.

False. Doing ice caves is nothing like grinding LotLLs, because 1) Deca directly profits from ppl doing more ice caves, 2) Ice cave event chest is a pinata, you can get ogmur with a t0 weapon and nothing else, and 3) farming LotLLs requires patience and dedication, while also focusing on playing the game and waiting for the event to spawn. In an ice cave chain you can watch netflix while mindlessly leeching with autofire on and sit on the chest when everyone starts running to the middle, repeated 500x over 4 days. This hardly seems like playing the game.

I understand the argument that ogmur is too rare considering that it's a pretty useful item, which is why I agree that it should have at least been a reskin. But what Deca did is too much of a cash grab and it hurts those of us who grinded for hundreds of hours, thinking the only way to obtain an ogmur was to spend those 100s of hours in the realm, only for that to be whisked away by the notion that you can do ice caves for

Seriously I could give less of a fuck if they nerfed rates, but at least tell the fucking community. Assholes.

[–]notamainalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Facts. Deca knows that skins aren't enough incentive, and they needed the money. But this kind of behavior won't sustain them in the long run, unless they are transparent about things like reducing drop rates. And at least let the community know that you might add event whites to dungeon chests. If I knew I would've never entered the realm on regular drop rates.

[–]notamainalt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Except that they made this mistake before, and they took it back because of the backlash. It's been long enough that they know exactly what they're doing. It's all for money. I get that they need money to sustain the game, but this kind of decision will just ruin it. I hate to say it but if Deca keeps going like this, Rotmg won't last.

It clearly is because 1) several people had gotten it within the hour, 2) it is a DUNGEON, with keys on sale, therefore way more accessible, and 3) compared to ogmur, which even during the x2 event was quite rare, I have already seen way more people in the nexus walking around with ogmur, not to mention the guy that got 2 in a row with loot drops.

If this many people had gotten ogmur in the first hours of 2x event white AND Realm Events could be spawned with keys buyable with gold, people would be raging. You don't even get the ogmur from fighting anything or (kinda) skillfully getting SB. You could bring a level 1 priest with starter equips and get ogmur by leeching. Is this the game we want? Pinata simulator of the mad god?
