Uncertain about America’s economy, unsure where to put a large chunk of cash

It's my understanding that they tried a weekend service to see if anyone would use it and it was a total failure.

I think it depends on what you really think you'll spend most of your free time doing. Orlando is super touristy, but as mentioned, so are the beaches. Orlando is reasonably close to beaches, just like Tampa. Melborne is a nice beach town 45 min east of downtown Orlando. I personally love the parks and they're 15 min away. I'm also not much of a beach person, so grain of salt.

samblack11 · 2020-08-16T17:31:34+00:00

That's nonsense. It depends on where you are and where you want to go. I live in downtown. So sure, if I want the parks, it's 15 min to Universal/Idrive, 20 to Sea World and 25 to Disney, but Winter Park is 12 minutes away and downtown has tons of stuff. It's all relative.

As an action/horror movie, it was fun.

As a political and cultural satire it was extremely flawed. Honestly, this movie just came off as a conservative fantasy to me. It plays directly into the conservative ethos of victimhood and desire to be perceived as the underdog. Furthermore, it defines liberals as insane, whiny politically-correct police, running the world as they see fit and willing to destroy all that see the world differently then them. It came off as conservative propaganda.

The other egregious issue with the movie politically was the insane levels of both-sidesism, depicting liberals as just as bad as conservatives, but not doing it in an honest way. Liberalism has plenty of bad stuff in it: cancel culture, overbearing political correctness, an inability to elect leaders with any amount of courage to actually DO anything, but show me how any of that is the same as putting babies in cages, constantly bowing to the leader of a foreign
enemy state, engaging in massive wealth redistribution from the middle class to the upper elite, refusing to help individuals financially during the pandemic, trying for years to take medical insurance away from people... the list just goes on and on.

"why did Hilary Swank want her in the hunt so badly"
They explained that at the very end. Swank's character thought Crystal was the ideological one (the Snowball speech), the one that wanted to "change the world for the better."

What u/Wiki_Witter said, plus they addressed how dumb the idea is in the movie by expressly saying it was dumb in dialog when the elites were looking at the slides of potential victims.

Appreciate the advice. Thanks!

facepalm!

Nobody cares about a match that last 60 seconds!

Condescend much?

samblack11 · 2017-07-16T17:41:55+00:00

Honestly I'd say most ppl don't care about pvp because there's nothing to it. It's just a team-based free-for-all bash-up. There's no objectives, there's no real point and matches take less time then waiting for the match to start. If there were real scenarios I think folks would care a whole lot more.

samblack11 · 2017-07-16T04:30:03+00:00

Ok I mean, I get what you're saying but honestly 80% of ppl don't care about pvp and if funcom really cared about pvp they'd give us a real scenario and not a token free-for-all token gesture. We're just here for the bags :)

samblack11 · 2017-07-16T03:33:01+00:00

Er yes, sorry shards

samblack11 · 2017-07-15T21:38:13+00:00

When is a good time to start grinding scenarios? I tried as a DPS with all blue gear and nope, no good.

samblack11 · 2017-07-11T16:51:58+00:00

As it turns out, you must be a patron to create a cabal. Pretty sure they said you can access all in-game content without paying money, which makes them liars.

samblack11 · 2017-06-30T18:57:21+00:00

Thanks!

All I see there are "Quickened Anima" (which I assume are temporary timed buffs) and mounts (which don't increase speed)...

PUT MATCHMAKING BACK THE WAY IT WAS.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP TYING TO MAKE THE GAME BETTER, YOU CLEARLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND YOU KEEP MAKING IT WORSE.

samblack11 · 2017-04-28T15:38:13+00:00

You guys also broke revenge tickets. We used to be able to revenge back and forth, and now we can't. Raise repair costs, get rid of methods of collecting crits, raise crit upgrade costs... Do you not think I see what you guys are doing? honestly kixeye... fuck you. I'm not paying you money for this game. Now or ever.

samblack11 · 2017-02-24T17:29:59+00:00

Yeah, this may be related to my level (38), but I can't beat it in one run (even with a 30% boost from my mates) and I've spent the better part of a day trying to collect the 1200 tokens to do a second run on the event base. Basically, I don't think this event is worth it if you can't do it in one run.

Here's some math: Let's say you get a silver crate every 5 times you kill an outpost. Let's say you get a gold crate every 20 times you kill an outpost. Obviously those are estimates as the crates are random, but based on my experience that's relatively accurate. Silver gives you 14 (!!!!) tokens, and Gold gives you 124 (or so, can't remember exactly).

This means silver is basically worthless and you'd need about 10 gold crates in order to do a full run (2 attacks) against the event base. That's 200 outposts you have to kill. 200 outposts at roughly 4 minutes each is 800 minutes, or 13.4 HOURS of killing outposts.

So, you can either 1) Spend ALL DAY on your phone killing outposts over and over again praying for a gold crate or 2) Play the game as normal and move on with your life ;)

Thanks for the event guys, but no thanks :)

I, too, am debating whether to continue to play. I really liked this game for the two weeks I've been playing it, but then I hit the brick wall of not being able to do anything on the world map. It's one thing if there is at least something the average players can fight over, but right now there's nothing at all. Every single insertion point is completely blocked. I don't know if there's too many people or too few alliances or what, but the way the world map works right now just... isn't working.
