Then why do you play then, huh?
For the thrill of losing money?
Gambling addiction?
Being a complete degenerate?
Putting others down whilst, you, being the lowest of low?
Or are you just laughing at him because he said what you can’t?

That’s what I thought

pliant jasper
#

Yea that was a joke

#

Like a “could not be me” kinda thing

rustic flower
#

Could’ve made that clearer

Wouldn't half of the gacha games be easy to sue with that logic?

Easily sued, not easily beaten. As stated in TOS, they simply give a right to use the service, in which there is no clear risk of completely losing anything because things are always gained. Take Pokemon card packs as an example. The value of the pack is already determined, and the material value of each card inside is determined by the opener. Therefore it is not gambling because it is an equal exchange of money for some sort of novelty. It would be gambling, however, if there was a chance for the pack to have no cards, while this sounds silly, it is a core component of gambling: the chance for loss.

Sueing for false advertising... Or something...
They present this bot with good stuff.. then nerf it...

#

Hmm.. example, the blank overview, it does many things, but then the current one, they nerf it,
I think the other games, what they do Is just, they don't nerf but add something more powerful than the last...
This game, they just did both.

It’s just war robots releases them way too unbalanced

#

To the point where it just breaks the game

#

Take prime tamers and dampers

#

Give me 5 examples and reactions of each from playerbase

I’m not familiar with the player bases

That one popular gacha, the genshin, what they do to get more sales or something is make their characters stronger or have specific strong buffs, and will make some occasional weak stuff.
I think the term will be power crept or something

Something Pixonic can be objectively targeted upon is that they never display the odds of their lootboxes. They did a couple times with Black Market back in 2021 (a long time ago to the scale of lootboxes), and nowadays the whole game economy is based on random loot. Even if it's not considered "gambling" in the sense that you never "lose", there are laws to regulate lootboxes in video games and they requires the odds to be disclosed. I still don't know how Pixonic managed to escape in the current state of the game

the odds can be calculated. Pilots>drones>weapons>robots is what works for me. For the components, the chance of getting 1000 components is probably the biggest. For the black market it's probably even to get every item ( with resources and lucky title having other smaller numbers) for the gold chest. As for10 and 100 key crates, Pilots, gold, keys and silver have +-80% chance to become the price

#

but that's my own calculations, which are made from my own experience and therefore might be incorrect

silk iron
#

Those are only empirical and self-calculated odds. The law in most countries require lootboxes to have clearly disclosed odds. This doesn't change the fact that something shady is going on

#

And that would need to be disclosed for every single lootbox available : Black Market, Datapads, Ultimate Luck, Supply Center and whatever I might have missed. The whole game economy runs on "randomly" generated outcomes, and none of them are conform to industry standards

imagine prime tamer

#

and then image next one is 10x stronger

#

then 10x again

#

give a couple months

#

its gonna be terrible

#

considering pix's style

#

its probably gonna be like that

#

i'd say (very ashamed to say) that their current method might actually be the best idea ngl

#

cuz they cant do the premium method wot does

#

release powerful items as premium

#

and keep it same with minimal tweaks along its lifetime

#

then everything would be a premium

#

it wont be cool

Early WWR was kinda like that : Lancelot and Fury notably were "premium" as they cost a lot a Gold (4k or 5k iirc), which at the time could likely not be reached without paying or doing a significant amount of grinding. The problem is that once the active population has the "premium" items, the game economy stagnates because nobody buys anymore. Thinking of it, this may be the root of the current rush for items we have nowadays 🤔 Release always stronger items to make people buy, so the economy doesn't stagnate. The release of Siren and Harpy illustrates this phenomenon when the two robots were not selling well due to Orochi and Fafnir crushing the meta despite having been released earlier. So they nerfed them to the 3rd underground level and Harpy and Siren could finally sell in peace as being solid picks

Today, it's different: every new robot can stand on its own, without nerfs for the previous content

#

Fafnir and Orochi were utterly broken tho. Remember Fafnir's absorber used to not have any definite damage capping ? And Orochi were spamming Stealth because the cooldown was so short... Kinda fair that even a newly-released product would have a hard time competing if not being a direct counter to the existing meta

They tried to nerf it with tamers

#

Only made it deadlier
