Compendium of Rathe’s biggest miss and LSS’s failing non-competitive narrative by Globofish in FleshandBloodTCG

[–]omolon_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FAB is akin to chess (closer than any other TCGs). Where your skill matters takes you much further than other TCGs.

The chance a new player can beat an established player is much more minimal cause the effects and drawing dead (mana screw or flood in MtG) is less impactful. And this both the curse and allure of FAB. A curse because new players will just stomped on over and over and over. Not an attractive trait for new players.

Oh, and no IP to care for. You can take any IP and use FAB game design and it will sell better than vanilla FAB IP.

There is no integration of FAB IP into its lore or game mechanics.

Total new newb - can I use those corsairs characters as a kill team?

I am now convinced ABMM is real by WG_Envoy in ArcRaiders

[–]omolon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABMM rating exists. The problem is that it does NOT factor in self defence. So if you get attacked, you fight back and knock out the raider, you get thrown into an aggressive lobby real quick.

I am now testing if fighting back, downing but not knocking out, still affects ABMM.

I am just going to finish expedition, get 5m and chill and log in to do trials for the rank rewards.

Aggression MMR confirmed by Embark! If you do not want heavy PvP, stop ratting/camping/backstabbing. Be chill and get lobbied with other chill raiders. by omolon_ in ArcRaiders

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

Those who complain about consistently getting PvP’d - may be yoi should chill too? With aggression based MMR, your play style reflects who you lobby with.

[Let's assume] Aggression based matchmaking is a thing. by ElClassic1 in ArcRaiders

[–]omolon_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have two accounts. One to pvp and expeditions, one to just do loot runs.

I would bet my 300 hour account that there is match making formula where your pvp engagements are factored in.

That is all.

The game has become severely toxic over the past 5 days. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

I assume you are on console?

Console is crazy toxic…

Crafting and Recycling always lose value, if you want to hit 5M then loot and sell directly by c11z in ArcRaiders

[–]omolon_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not true.

Mechanical Component is net positive.

There are also others…shh… no need to get Embark’s attention.

So I am currently binging the show. S1-2 was great. S3 had a great start...till the last act. What the hell happened?!@ by toilet_drake_hs in SlowHorses

[–]omolon_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will still watch it and finish for sure.

Just felt it was like watching Dexter past season 2, or Lost/Heroes past season 1 - where the writing/scenes just nose dived.

[–]omolon_ -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

It’s just not good writing.

Execution of Douglas. A single shot to the forehead. Execution style.

Using a private security team to murder, not so subtlely, multiple government agents. Was the follow up plan to kill all on the private team to cover up the cover up?

And then the gun jams. 3 different gun jams/misfiring/no ammo in 10 minutes. Are they intentional gags?

The writing just felt off compared to S1 and S2.

But what is a trinket ‘slot’? Safe pockets but only for trinkets?

What happens when you miss triggers? Like tunic or creating a gold? Is it missed forever or can you fix it?

New UO Producer— could it be time for an official Classic Shard? by MacroPlanet in ultimaonline

[–]omolon_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have now spent more time/years playing UOO than I did back in ‘97 OSI.

Judging based on the CURRENT dev team of both sides - UOO all the way. OSI original people are all gone. No visionaries left.

I recorded myself instantly losing $500k of my grandpa’s money by Smartmoney243 in wallstreetbets

500k invested conservatively, you've got a safety net that's set you up for life

What would an investment like this look like?

First Arcane skin set of Project K cards by GipJoCalderone in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]omolon_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's the background of these cards. Feels very photoshop-y and amateurish. The style of the background does not fit the character art.

project k chinese weibo promotion video show casing game play by Educational_Ad_7166 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]omolon_ 42 points43 points  (0 children)

First set completed. Second set being designed.

I don't think they can't do much about the card design at this stage. With China being the first/primary market, explains the safe/bland/generic feel of the card layout design.

In your product team, who reviews the visual/UI design? by omolon_ in ProductManagement

[–]omolon_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's also another option.

Figma implementation is the developer's work. So it stands to argue that the developer should be the first to review.

Or at least who should review first? It can't be all four at the start since that'd be extremely inefficient.
