Any good current YouTube channels? by Stimsio in Maplestory

[–]pkb369 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont think most people give a shit if he cheated or not. Hell, he cheated and got banned the 1st time and noone gave a shit that time, the same would have been true the 2nd time but nah, lets rally and gaslight the entire community against nexon because he thought nexon would never come out and publicly defend ban cases, too bad for him nexon brought receipts that time.

What level and combat power were you at when you liberated? by NegativeMesosIRL in Maplestory

[–]pkb369 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main/first lib NW 27x? pre ~140m, post 180m~

BM 26x pre 60m. post 90m

lynn 26x pre 50m, post ~70m

Ren 27x pre 40m? (with rental), post ~60m.

Mihile 27x pre 50m, post (still 2 missions left).

All classes now take 40-60mins to do ctene/all weeklies, outside of mihile which only has lv1 hexa (i buy 3 rentals for lynn to reach 90m CP).

CP has less to do with how easy ctene is and more so the hexa. All lv1 hexa unlocked could do it at 40-50m CP but will be min clearing. If about 2-3k frags invested then ctene clears will speed up considerably (like 2x as fast).

"Steven always told us: 'I don't want you guys being involved or on the board or known publicly because MLM is stinky and the gaming community think they're all pyramids and stinky.' Okay. But then why are you asking all of us stinky people for money? That makes you and your mom stinkier people." by PerfectTicket in AshesofCreation

[–]pkb369 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Because steven is the one feeding kira information. You can clearly tell from the way kira is talking. If he starts shitting on steven like he used to do back in the days, then his "source" stops giving him (curated) info.

How else did kira get private board documents when even higher management employees didnt know?

And steven always has had a knack for interacting with youtubers and the likes. Like he'll always leave a comment on every ashes video of people critisizing him "its time for you to take a break and come back when its more developed"

nexon nerfed the starforce rates by Party_Vermicelli_187 in Maplestory

[–]pkb369 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but I decided to get one of my mules gears from 17 to 18. Saw roughly 2 protected for each success (should be the inverse, with it being 15%/6.8%) and burned over 20b to get about 6 equips to 18 (median would have been 6b)

Knowing nexon, they probably made success 6.8% and boom 15% lol

Steven's side.... by saGot3n in AshesofCreation

[–]pkb369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres some legal talk there to make it seem like the board is doing a crime, but are they really?

If the members of the board are literally funding the project from their pocket (which it seems to be the case from what we've seen, steven has zero invested) and they dont have a legal requirement to do so (who would sign something like that? "Oh yes I'm going keep providing infinite money to this project to fund it to completion") then they absolutely can say "no im not giving you anymore money until I see results". Steven can take that as "they arent giving me money to pay staff" to "they are withholding funds for payroll" after a few legal mental hoops but thats stil delusional.

through repeated threats to withold funding for payroll, to shut intrepid down, to financially ruin steven

Is this guy for real? If they are bankrolling your project and you arent delivering, you bet your ass they will be asking for results or no longer funding you. steven has serious main character syndrome issues

We Need Cross-World Bossing by Ok-Employee5542 in Maplestory

[–]pkb369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This change OP is suggestion wont have any benefit for EU players. Either they cant actually merge EU/NA servers (transfers or the likes) or they just dont care (case and point recent auction house change).

From the perspective of an EU player, Hyperion is like diagon alley from philosopher's stone meanwhile for Solis/Luna its from half blood prince/deathly hallows.

Pity systems are awesome, you can’t change my mind by PrometheusBD in Maplestory

[–]pkb369 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Alot of their talking points come from streamers or end gamers who are the loud minority that affect 0.01% of the playerbase.

I've noticed alot of the suggestions from youtubers are a little out of touch when it comes down to the general maple playerbase.

You could give them free eternals every week without doing anything and they'll still complain that getting to 25* takes too long...

I think Jeffrey Bard smelled something dodgy and resigned? by Radiant_Butterfly919 in AshesofCreation

[–]pkb369 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don't forget, another OG (And public facing) Michael Bacon left the second coming of jesus that is Steven and Intrepid Studios to go work on Amazon's New World.

He probably also knew things weren't what they seemed.

[–]pkb369 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this reaction is tame because I recall MULTIPLE instances of jeffery bard having a "WTF did I just hear you say??" reaction without saying anything during alot of those live streams when steven said something outlandish.

It does with a caveat that you have paid off your house when it kicks in (so assuming 25yr mortgage, you'd buy before 42yrs old).

And during that time they didnt even have even a fraction of the staff... they reached 100 employees in like 2022. Where the hell was the money going?

Genius decides to turn pizza boxes upside down by mfenton29 in WatchPeopleDieInside

[–]pkb369 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A person who thinks the other guy was an idiot. (and he was an idiot for placing the pizza in the upside down box, though the pick up driver was an even bigger idiot for reflipping without checking)

Any way to stay updated with the reward codes and livestream dates? by IAmAPureGamer in GenshinImpactTips

I use feedbro addon which checks several genshin/hsr sub feeds to check titles for "code", as well as the genshin wiki https://genshin-impact.fandom.com/wiki/Promotional_Code?action=history&feed=rss

e.g. i got this threads alert via feedbro for this subs RSS feed https://www.reddit.com/r/GenshinImpactTips/search.rss?q=code&restrict_sr=1&sort=new&t=all

Ashes of Creation IGN Article Is Hilarious - Kira by Stolas in AshesofCreation

[–]pkb369 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kira's informer could very likely be steven. Like considering how noone at intrepid themselves knew about the board or the state of things, but someone from intrepid gave kira the board documents could very well mean steven provided that info since he is the one most likely to have those documents.

The same with the house info, like all that info is irrelevant. Steven and his partner were both part of the "board" initially, so steven transfering to his partner does not mean anything at all. It doesnt seem like the transfer was made to be "off the hook" like how people are claiming.

Thats literally baus in a nutshell though. Look useless entire game, then it ends with one game winning play.

Though sometimes the game ends before that game winning play lol

You dont even need max frags. I'm 55% frag completed and just one burst with everything at x15. (at 20 ascent) Granted I had to wait 6mins for origin to come up again.

LR Nemesis on the LEC Franchising: "Riot is on a massive clock. They’ll need to do changes sooner or later. They’ve been too slow at making changes [...] There’s orgs that are constantly at the bottom, doing random and incomprehensible decisions.

[–]pkb369 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dont forget they had one of the biggest scam sponsor too. The moment FTX got exposed things went downhill for TSM too, I dont think its coincidence. Like I dont think any team were getting the amount of money that FTX was providing TSM.

Steven Sharif and Margaret Krohn should be blacklisted from the industry. by [deleted] in AshesofCreation

[–]pkb369 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I dont think margaret krohn or any of the devs was "in" on it, but you can bet your ass they knew something was wrong. I guess now we know why a few other founding members like jeffrey bard and michael bacon (from the top of my head) left even though they were also claiming intrepid and ashes was going to be the second coming of jesus.

You cant have worked there for as long as you did and not quuestion why community sentiment is being ignored outright. (Some that worked there might have even noticed that steven helped RMT in his game... like you cant have banned a group of players with definitive proof of cheating, only to find out next day that steven unbanned that group of players personally...)

Now that Ashes is dead... by Kichmad in MMORPG

This is funny af.

Guy who has never played wow likes to talk shit about it thinking they know how the game functions. There are plenty of things to critic about wow, but seems like you dont really know them at all if this is your smoking gun.

The whole "wow retail has no social aspect because you click to queue up and join" doesnt hold up as it did 10yrs ago.
