My problem is I can't stand video games unless I'm stoned. Once I am baked, I can play all night. However, being baked doesn't equal good coordination. Im not ery good when I am high, but once the weed wears off, I dont want to play vodeo games at all. Its a waste of time and boring unless I have something to alter my mental state. It's like Sister Sage having to give herself a lobotomy to enjoy herself with The Deep.

I called once, for help with Metal Gear. I was about 10, I think? The guy was really creepy and I wondered why I couldn't get into an area but it was due to my star ranking being too low, so the counselor said, in a creepy voice "Are you a classy guy? You need to be a classy guy to progress further!" I said, just tell me what to do. Was weird. He was asking me what I was eating too. Never called again.

Thank you very much for this very useful tool. Where can I report bugs if I find some? I like to use the "By item" tab to find the cheapest mission without having data uploaded. There seem to be a few items which show wrong data, e.g. the Starfleet Uniforms. The Starfleet Uniform (TOS) e.g. is shown to be in Episode 4 and Infinity while in game you can find it in Episode 1 and Delphic Expanse.

@@dangevin Thanks for the “alternative game” show! 1. I strongly agree with your approach. 2. Since offer walls are not available (at least for the present) on iOS my solution was to buy a cheap used Google Pixel phone. 3. Tapjoy has had a controversial hx. A couple of years I was trying to get rewards for playing Scopely’s Lower Decks. The game did nothing but crash at level six when but rewards came at level seven. Many reviewers Google Play store said the same thing. I complained ti Tapjoy and its bot said, “You didn’t reach level seven-no reward.” 4.Hundreds of thousands have complained to Tapjoy (according to a 2021 FTC investigation). 5.Tens of thousands have complained to the Better Business Bureau about paid offers that provided noting. 6.A final FTC settlement in March 2021 required that Tapjoy evaluate all game providers for 10 years. Its implementation is a question on “a low-quality or broken offer.” (I’ve been waiting five weeks on the one I submitted in May. (In my opinion performance by Tapjoy has improved since IronSource bought the company in May 2022. 4.On some I can get rewards from a newly installed game, delete, and when available again I can install it and get rewards. 5. If I give my true age (elderly player) on surveys they end immediately, so lie. (The one that never works is a survey by Tapjoy on Tapjoy. ) 6. Offers from portals that are supposed to pay off after for 35 minutes of play have provided bupkis. 6. I like Shadow Legends, but I have never found the tips on KZbin videos to get the five star characters that are needed for dilithium to work. Caveat emptor: Free dilithium is worth the effort but it is a jungle out there.

Few of my thoughts re: 10x Premium Pack being replaced by Legends Packs...do we think the rewards thresholds in events will be increased to reflect that this final VP reward is a strict value upgrade if they are replaced? (I think/hope that eventually the entire event rewards structure will be retooled based on their comments and player feedback.) Also, do we think that standard beGolds (such as the final continuum mission chain reward when there is not a featured crew there) would be replaced by these as well?
@dangevin3 ай бұрын
I would love to see a Legends pack replace the behold, great idea. I probably don't think that the devs are looking to redo the event threshold rewards, though. Seems like a lot of effort to rebalance when the only thing really wrong is the final prize. As far as a value upgrade...the old Premium pack has become so devalued that this move would really be fixing that. With FBB raining honor and the Premium packs being so crappy, I don't even bother to finish thresholds on Galaxy anymore unless I want the gold.

Hey great question. Short answer is, I earn more Cites each Honor Sale than I use in the three months between. So it just adds up over time. Before Fleet Boss Battles I typically got 500k honor per quarter, more recently with a strong, active fleet hitting Feet Bosses hard, I have been nearly doubling that. So my cite hoarding has really kicked into high gear lately!

Hitting max damage threshold on each Ultra Nightmare boss is 1200 honor, and strong fleets achieve this twice daily.

Yeah, the one thing that didn't really come across is that I am excited to see how this turns out.

This is a great list of Guantlet-ers (Gauntleteers?) (??). My hope with this event is that maybe it ends up being a good entry point into actually making the Gauntlet viable for people who.. aren't already stacked with Gauntlet crew. Currently it seems to be one of the hardest modes to break into, with the crew that are good at it being so specialized for it, and for the best ones being really hard to obtain unless you already have some of them. An event with less "PvP" seems like a good path to maybe break that ice, as it were.
@dangevin3 ай бұрын
This will be a success for the devs. Currently Gauntlet is optional and proficiencies really did not matter. Making these crew matter for weekend events really brings it all together and will drive engagement without asking anything too new of players. If this unfolds the way I anticipate, that is!
