[prime wind]

[queen grail]

I can't do that, can't sleep with my PC on.

[burnt tree]

[prime wind]

its the leap pants. i got the black ones so i just died them white

[queen grail]

Ye, those where, some fun ques.

[burnt tree]

i just put on my earbuds and asmr

[cursive ruin]

[queen grail]

[bleak star]

[nova garden]

I’m F2P

[burnt tree]

[lime dove]

Yes what is the actual name?

[bleak star]

that's right u need to whale more

[nova garden]

No

[burnt tree]

also i used to wake up early to catch the early queues

[fallow crag]

oh, i never had issues getting back in

[burnt tree]

and go back to nap until i was logged in

[fallow crag]

i was always able to get back in right away during launch

[bleak star]

you won't give money to ags?

[burnt tree]

teach me

[fallow crag]

actually everyone i know had no trobules

did you have founders pack?

[nova garden]

I give money to mihoyo

[burnt tree]

yeah i was gifted one

[lime dove]

[burnt tree]

the first week there were no issues since it was early access

[fallow crag]

huh weird, are u EU or NA?

i think EU had way more problems than NA

[burnt tree]

when the free loaders came it became an issue

EU

[fallow crag]

that's why

EU had so much login issues

[burnt tree]

atleast i didnt switch to EUW like a Bozo

[fallow crag]

EUW only to get fought by the french

[burnt tree]

EUW players were here making fun of us

[lime dove]

Oui oui baguette

[torn ether]

they should merge na too

[burnt tree]

and then when their region died they were mad we made fun of them

😔

[fallow crag]

EU was a shit show because certain countries were claiming servers HAHAHAHA

so you had to find one where everyone spoke english

or a similar language

[burnt tree]

russian claiming servers when they had their own region

[fallow crag]

russians do like taking over regions

[buoyant wagon]

[fallow crag]

it's in their blood

[burnt tree]

true

runs in the dynasty

[torn ether]

russia was dead for a loong ass time tho

[lime dove]

Was christopher columbus russian

[fallow crag]

NAE is way too far from NAW

[burnt tree]

chinese players who refuse to play on CN keep it alive tbh

[fallow crag]

the U.S. is just too big unfortunately

[torn ether]

amazon can figure out the ping issue probablt

[nova garden]

Doubt

[torn ether]

like i play from tr and im kinda far from eu but i still have decent ping

[fallow crag]

you can't really

[burnt tree]

imagine if lost ark had a mega server

[lime dove]

[fallow crag]

you can maybe fix matchmaking

[lime dove]

Whos gonna get the sht ping

[fallow crag]

by region

but doing content together won't work

[burnt tree]

destiny has it but its not too bad, it just connects u to the closest location to u and if its dead it expands

[fallow crag]

if a buddy from Cali wants to do valtan with someone in NY, ping gonna be rough

[lime dove]

Lol

[fallow crag]

yeah basically

it only works for matchmaking

[fallow crag]

if you purposely match with others, it won't work

[burnt tree]

time for the anniversary to be a true anniversary experiencing every aspect

[fallow crag]

they never left

[burnt tree]

we just need the 20k queues back

[lime dove]

I heard we will get azena merchant this week

[fallow crag]

azena gang

[burnt tree]

source: i made it tf up

[lime dove]

Not me

[burnt tree]

we have no idea if we get these qols

[lime dove]

I just read it

Probly a prediction

[burnt tree]

source: they made it tf up

[hearty gazelle]

62-74pimg is rough? Aint no wei

[burnt tree]

it is a prediction

[nova garden]

Read on internets

Must be true

[fallow crag]

you underestimate people

that ping difference can affect qol greatly

[hearty gazelle]

Chicago ping on west is 68 on east is 62 my friends from NY and jersey play in west and got 74ping max

[torn ether]

i play on 80 ping

[fallow crag]

LOL

i dont know what my ping is

[torn ether]

its really not bad

[fallow crag]

for people who are used to it

it's fine

but people who aren't they'll notice it

[torn ether]

lost ark doesnt check your reflexes that hard

unless you are doing hell content idk about hell content

[hearty gazelle]

It’s only in pvp difference but you don’t do pvp anyway

[lime dove]

I mean its just a matter of time we get the azena merchant

Now where Shandi Merchant Nineveh merchant and Thirain merchant

[hearty gazelle]

They all in mari shop

[torn ether]

i do feel it too but like its an mmo you dont play fps or some shit like that

how bad could it be for ppl i acutally wonder

[nova garden]

It’s gonna be a shit show for aus and sea people

[low nebula]

damn dudes did 3 min monke with mvp

[hearty gazelle]

Unless you playing in laptop without gpu won’t notice the 60-70ping difference

[lime dove]

Top 5 games in KR
League of Legends
Fifa Online
Sudden Attack
Valorant
Lost Ark

[fallow crag]

idk but people feel it, and they don't like it. No one likes feeling sluggish or slow.

[lime dove]

Ive never even heard of Sudden Attack

[fallow crag]

that's why NA E and W are separated

[lime dove]

Apparently thats a kr fps?

[fallow crag]

it's like crossfire

used to be a popular FPS

sudden attack is what's in rn

crossfire is owned by smilegate too lol

[golden skiff]

my man u dont know about gachas i guess

[lean pewter]

new privaty today

[nova garden]

Skipping her

[lean pewter]

I pulled her on first multi

[nova garden]

Only like 10% of her ass is visible

[fallow crag]

well it's KR

i'm assuming they're going based off trends there

but also gacha's aren't as big in KR as they are in China and JP

kinda hard to make content with gacha's

[dull obsidian]

@rigid aurora

[golden skiff]

china maybe...japan def not

[golden skiff]

japanese are smart and they prefer to play japanese games

[golden skiff]

in general

[fallow crag]

Japanese people are the ones making gacha's wdym

[golden skiff]

u should go check some real japanese chart

[still lintel]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850672089118933012/999891204663693322/0AFAC11C-FF55-4163-997B-EC09B919E36C.gif

[fallow crag]

huh what are you on about

[nova garden]

Why the fuсk is that gif so big?

[nova garden]

Legit takes up over half my screen

[golden skiff]

i said go check the most played games in japan from some japanese site, in case u didnt understand

[fallow crag]

yeah but that doesn't make sense to what i said

japanese people are the one's making gacha games

you said they're playing real japanese games

but that's literally what they make

[golden skiff]

business and what japanese players play are 2 different things

[tardy tusk]

mods

[nova garden]

It’s true tho

[tardy tusk]

but

mods

[golden skiff]

and tbh even if im not 100% on this i dont think many gachas are japanese...many of them are koreans

[nova garden]

[fallow crag]

ok weeb

[nova garden]

Most of the gacha games I play are Chinese

[fallow crag]

who's ass we talking

[nova garden]

Privaty. New character in Nikke

[fallow crag]

bro not nikke

[torn ether]

he is a giga coomer

we cant do anything about it

[fallow crag]

imagine actually playing that

[nova garden]

Been playing since launch

[tardy tusk]

Been playing since launch

[golden skiff]

he didnt have nothin more to say so he entered in defensive stance

[nova garden]

Bought a new phone for it too

[fallow crag]

no you just had to make a fake statement like that for me to know you're just a weeb defender

japan is the biggest exporter of gacha games

[nova garden]

But now they have pc client

[fallow crag]

only kr and china been making them in the last few years

lol

to say that many gacha games aren't jp is crazy

[golden skiff]

so clueless

[fallow crag]

okay weeb

[golden skiff]

[fallow crag]

[tardy tusk]

yES.

[fallow crag]

Valtan is literally hailed as the best top down isometrich boss fight ever made

You can dislike it, but that doesnt mean the facts arnt facts

[cedar zealot]

[fallow crag]

[fresh flint]

[valid turtle]

its rediculous sometimes

[lime dove]

Ive been shying away from the idea of tipping

The system never made sense for me

[valid turtle]

unfortunately in the USA

[lime dove]

Esp cause it scales off prices which are insanely high now

[valid turtle]

tipping culture has become an excuse

for employers to not pay their employees a fair wage

my first job as a busboy

[lime dove]

Exactly

[valid turtle]

i got payed 2 dollars less than minimum wage hourly

because it was assumed "tips would make up the dif"

it was shady af

[lime dove]

why is it legal

[valid turtle]

it isnt

[lime dove]

The tips arent guaranteed

[valid turtle]

that place closed in year

[lime dove]

Bro these companies expecting customers to pay their staffs wages

[valid turtle]

ya

[lime dove]

Naw im done

Fuck tipping

[valid turtle]

when you are already paying for the product

[neat swan]

went to america once didn't tip once everybody looked at me mad as shit man idgaf 🤣

[lime dove]

Already got taxes and sht fking my sht up

[valid turtle]

i dont blame you

its bad man

people want tips for everything

it even rubbed off on my father

we run a small business

we have a farmstand/bakeshop

my father wanted to enable tipping for a self service farmstand

[lime dove]

Lol

[valid turtle]

like...

what are they going to TIP FOR?

you know his answer?

[neat swan]

funny af when I see americans tipping here though and the waiters look at them with disgust

[buoyant wagon]

The problem is when places that have a mandatory minimum wage for service workers still want you to tip

[valid turtle]

"well we work really hard, and if they have money to spare they could give it to us"

i was so lost man

[buoyant wagon]

Or when places that don’t serve you ask for tips

[valid turtle]

i was so against it

[fresh flint]

It didn’t start until roaches got entitled post and semi pre Covid demanding people tip or don’t order food. Too fuckin entitled.

[buoyant wagon]

Like why the fuck are you asking me to tip if your job is to just hand me something to take out

[valid turtle]

precisely

that doesnt quantify a tip

in any universe

if you wait on a table for over an hour tho

making sure the person has a fantastic experience

and put your heart and soul into it, i see why a tip could be recommended

but its just become a cop out

[lime dove]

Bro not just take out

[valid turtle]

i worked inthe food industry for quite a bit

so i feel very strongly about it

[lime dove]

Why are we expected to tip for ppl doing their job

[valid turtle]

^

[lime dove]

If they dont do that sht then why else are they there

[valid turtle]

exactly ocean

[buoyant wagon]

I don’t mind tipping for above average service

[valid turtle]

^

precisely

[buoyant wagon]

Merely doing your job should not merit a tip

[valid turtle]

it encourages good service

[nova garden]

i tip ferarri bus drivers

[valid turtle]

it should be a reward for going above and beyond

not the norm

i once had this girl wait on my table

she kept us well stocked

for over 3 hours

[fresh flint]

But now you got DoorDash and Uber eats trying to normalize making a living off of tips

[nova garden]

Now employers just use it as an excuse to underpay their workers

[valid turtle]

she actually came and asked us if we would stay longer cuz she didnt want a new table

she got us free sides

everything

i tipped her so hard

[buoyant wagon]

Lmao the tip option for Uber

[fresh flint]

[buoyant wagon]

I’ll tip if I have luggage and you help me load it

Fuck your tips if you’re just driving

[valid turtle]

exactly when fucking doordash and uber should be paying the wage

not you tipping 10 dollars on top of the already crazy food price

[buoyant wagon]

If I’m a tourist and you give some good conversation or advice, sure you also earned it

[valid turtle]

^

[fresh flint]

Yeah. They already take additional fees. So they’re just collecting money fr.

[lime dove]

I cant remember the last time i got above average service since tips are expected, ppl just stopped trying

[valid turtle]

exactly

[valid turtle]

so dont tip

its not illigal

[cedar zealot]

If it's delivery, I tip

[lime dove]

Its not but ive been feeling bad about it

[buoyant wagon]

They bake tips into service fees now

[valid turtle]

and the worst that happens is you piss off an entitled lazy worker

[buoyant wagon]

Automatic 15-18%

[lime dove]

But fk it

[valid turtle]

you can choose to not use those services tho right?

like what are you talking about?

[buoyant wagon]

I’ll tip delivery but absolutely not 15%

[lime dove]

Wow

Thats crazy

Mandatory tipping

[cedar zealot]

Otherwise no

[lime dove]

Its evolving

[valid turtle]

dont use the service

[lime dove]

From optional to expected to mandatory

[valid turtle]

make your own food

[lime dove]

[fresh flint]

Orders on apps like door dash and Uber eats get an automatic base pay of 4 ish or so dollars per order delivered. Outside of that they really pushing to normalize living off of tips.

[buoyant wagon]

Tipping in California is fucking stupid when service workers have a mandatory minimum wage

[lime dove]

Bro

Tipping in Japan is a sign of disrespect

Theyre cultured af

[valid turtle]

ya

i saw that in a video recently

you arnt supposed to hand cash directly to anyone

you put it on the lil tray they have

[buoyant wagon]

Because in Japan, giving good service is expected as part of the job

[valid turtle]

^

NA needs to take notes

[lime dove]

In some parts of europes idk if all whatever is shown on the menu is what u pay for items, tax included and no tips expected

[buoyant wagon]

Not something you have to tip people to encourage them to do

Asia usually just adds like a 10% service fee

[valid turtle]

thats what riot was mentioning earlier yes

[buoyant wagon]

No other tips needed

[lime dove]

[valid turtle]

none of my EU friends tip

its just not needed/expected

or wanted i think in some cases

[cedar zealot]

Max I do 10% unless it's a big order

[valid turtle]

but ya tipping culture in NA is WAY out of hand

[buoyant wagon]

the people most against getting rid of tips

[valid turtle]

dont just go with the flow

[fresh flint]

Damn N.A. is all twisted up what the fuck

[buoyant wagon]

are the people in the service industry themselves

[valid turtle]

ya some servers make fucking bank

[buoyant wagon]

because they dont want to end up on the same level as the office receptionist making $16/hr

[valid turtle]

depending on the place

like 100s of dollars a night

[lime dove]

Im sure those ppl rather have a stable wage than have shit wage and rely on tips too

[valid turtle]

and all of it untaxed

[lime dove]

Its just business owners benefiting

Fk them

[buoyant wagon]

nah

they make far more

[valid turtle]

ocean

[lime dove]

[valid turtle]

if you work at certain places

you can make 1000's a week

of untaxed money

sure you are "supposed" to report it

[buoyant wagon]

good tips can easily reach figures like hundreds of dollars an hour

[lime dove]

Sure some do but fairly sure majority make more from a stable wage

[valid turtle]

but no one fucking does

[cedar zealot]

[fresh flint]

Unclaimed wages can get your ass on a lot of trouble if someone rats you out.

[buoyant wagon]

many places already have a "high" minimum wage

so they are making tips on top of it

[lime dove]

[valid turtle]

i dont think people in the service industry rat on each other man

its unspoken

[buoyant wagon]

why would they want to go tipless

[valid turtle]

and on top of that there is no real way to tell

[lime dove]

Then fk some of these workers and the business owners

[valid turtle]

like you dont know if they are reporting it or not

[fresh flint]

I’m sure there are cases where it has happened out of pettiness but probably not lmao

[buoyant wagon]

california is raising fast food minimum wage to $20/hour in april

that's already more than some office work

[valid turtle]

thats insane

but i mean

cost of living is so high

[torn ether]

imagine working for 10 hours and getting payed under 500 dolars

[lime dove]

Bro imagine expected to tip for literally anything u do

[torn ether]

cant be my country

[lime dove]

[fresh flint]

Col in cali is disgusting

[uncut dirge]

probably not

[valid turtle]

just dont tip

become

[uncut dirge]

tips create a situation where you have a bunch of people that make way more than they would otherwise

[lime dove]

[uncut dirge]

and those people would be against getting rid of tips

[buoyant wagon]

tbh tips wouldnt be as obscene if they didnt ask for tips on top of a default 15-18% service charge

that shit is fucking cancerous

[valid turtle]

ya

[lime dove]

Tip deez nuts

[torn ether]

they ask for it?

[lime dove]

Today

We form a pact

[buoyant wagon]

okay, not ask

[lime dove]

We no longer tip

[valid turtle]

like for instance you order a pizza or order take out and YOU go pick it up?

ya no tip for that

[buoyant wagon]

you're expected to tip

on top of the service charge

[torn ether]

states is a different wolrd

[uncut dirge]

but yeh, tipping to me is a bizarre custom

[lime dove]

Be the change you wish to see in this world

Fuck tipping
