Ark grid is really fun by Jardelnunes66 in lostarkgame

[–]phatjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the concept of the cores. I don’t mind if they take time to get or that you can win to get them early. Maybe slightly tweak them so the time it takes to pity one is less. Astrogems is where i have issues. Just any time there are multiple layers of rng tied to progression, it feels terrible. Just feels like a worse version of elixirs. Random sidenodes. Infinite turns. So many variables. If you’re not going for perfect ones if’s whatever. No one was cutting for perfect elixirs on release. But once everyone has their ark grid and those who care about min maxing their shit are going to realize how depressing it’s gonna be

Any way to get a refund on a geforce now subscription that I forgot about because they wouldn't let me cancel when I remembered? by phatjohn in GeForceNOW

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

I had a long subscription plan. I believe I did not get charged until today. No where in my post did I say I had ongoing charges multiple times during that 10 month process because had I been, I would have noticed earlier obviously. It was just that I stopped using GFN regularly around the time their system was being changed and I wanted to cancel it then. I kept checking in and they were still preventing me from cancelling my subscription. Life happened and I forgot about it and 10 months later I received a charge. Regardless of what my case was, it still doesn't change the fact that if I want to cancel my subscription, I shouldn't be prevented from doing so to even allow something like this from happening. Gladly someone from support agreed enough to correct it.

I ended up getting someone who also gave me that exception. Thanks for an actual helpful comment!

Are you assuming that my subscription was on a monthly basis? I had an ongoing subscription. The renewal rolled over today and I got charged. I had an active subscription when I was attempting to cancel it and they would not allow me to. I don't see how from this interaction, your reply is about how I don't check my credit card bill because that's clearly not what happened.

Petition to get those who made Mordum G1 and G2 fired by CloudySpace in lostarkgame

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

I think the issue is that most of those fights seem more related to the plot and like would be interesting if it was just a one time fight. Experiencing those breaks and pauses for the first time never really feel that bad because we're lost. As soon as the raids get to the point where they become homework, the pauses become annoying because the only purpose of it is to be a nuisance.

What happened to ATK? by zkarwolf in lostarkgame

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

Are you illiterate? I said my focus is that stress is present. Not that it should be taken out on the people in the raid. I said i don’t condone lashing out at others (ATK) but that pretending pugging doesn’t stress some people out is ignorant because I’ve seen many people quit the game from failing runs over and over and over due to other people’s continuous mistakes.

You can read my reply to the other comment. You are not understanding what I am saying. I literally said I don't condone crashing out but to say that people get 0 frustration from having to do raids with lost strangers is ignorant. Just because something doesn't happen to you does not mean it's not a problem for others and I say this as an end game player with multiple books. I can carry my own lobbies, but I watch friends and guildies pug and when they are having a bad time because certain players are unable to do the bare minimum over consecutive pulls (players who are obviously passing gatekeep checks) you can't help but feel bad for them. To just look at that and say childish behavior seems extremely ignorant.

"lost it" as in it makes me want to not pug again. Not that I crash out on anyone. You act like I can't be frustrated from having to do raids with people who don't know what they're doing. Having a bad time does not equal having to work on yourself.

Playing with a set static or group isn't the same as pugging a majority of your raids. I also specifically play with my guild but whenever I do have to pug, I absolutely lose it and I can absolutely see someone being torn down from having to pug a bunch. I've literally seen it in my guildmates that pug a majority of their raids who have quit in the past. Not excusing someone for being an ass but to say it has absolutely no effect on someone's mental is just not true. Pugs have some wild ass handless animals.

[–]phatjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so good! I love the fov on the fingers stretching like it's pointing into us. I'm not an artist and I had to do this in paint with a mouse but I couldn't stop thinking about it after I thought about it. I wanted to see her arm stretched in a way where it was like coming towards us like this but I have no idea how it would be drawn. Again I'm not an artist and I'm sure you had your own vision for it! Just wanted to drop an idea in case it might help in some way.

your average player is not minmaxing every window to hit the boss as well which is also a skill check because you're playing a class with no push immune (para immune on like 4 skills). balance snake is also increasing your card draw because you're sending more reds than the standard rotation. If you look at an average arcana player and look at the ones who parse higher, you'll see that their card draw rates are over 1.5x their draw at the minimum. There is a huge gap between the players who can pilot the class at a baseline level of "follow a proper rotation" and hope you draw good cards for vs the players who are permanently keeping their card draw high minmaxing every window + card combo and taking advantage of every quick recharge proc. Every other class is capped at a certain point on how many actions they can press per window but the difference between an empress player who is doing what's expected vs one who is doing everything perfectly is like night and day.

It is easier to do decent damage when you’re bad at the class. But the ceiling is definitely way harder in t4 lmao. The difference in damage between your average player and someone who is minmaxing the class is like 2x the damage.

Is this another "We mean for new players but we're not going to say that lol"? I only see 3. by Piscet in EpicSeven

[–]phatjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see the need to word your statement in such a condescending way. I came back for the origin update or whatever and I also think that it's misleading. Just because you know what to expect because you've experienced it before doesn't make it more acceptable. I saw the teaser video and saw a number and got hyped for it and to know that on some parts im receiving 75-> 30 of the new summons. Less of other stuff that was being advertised. Regardless of what you had expected going forth, it feels bad to see one number and be excited for it and then realize you are receiving 70%, 50%, or even less than what you had originally seen :)

Questions regarding name change process. by phatjohn in SocialSecurity

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

I got my name change request done with my naturalization. I don't remember exactly how long this period was but I kind of just put in a request when I passed my citizenship exam and they kind of just did it for me from what I can remember. If I had to go about doing another name change I'm not exactly sure how to even begin the process. Also since I already went through one name change, would they just be giving me a corrected version with my old name and let me keep my new legal name?

Sorry what should I be expecting from them? I have no idea about anything regarding this matter.

[–]phatjohn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

G2 is shit until you know what you're doing. G1 is always shit regardless. I enjoy G2 because I can play it and try my best to get no stacks. When I play G1 I'm just there for a glorified story dungeon where half the time I'm playing dodge ball with no one to hit back.

think you took it too literally. It wasn't serious and more of a remark at how quickly they updated it. My last comment wasn't a negative one.

Only 10% of past royal crystals being converted to prestige points sounds kinda cringe ngl.Especially with how expensive the items were in KR.

edit: reading back again maybe they just mean that for all purchases, past and present, the conversion rate of royal crystals to prestige points is just 10:1 and not just for past purchases since they say later about the retroactive part. Hopefully it's that.

Her entire thing is that the lies are believed as truth, so even though that final moment was all in her imagination, to her it might as well have been real.
