  1. Final Fantasy 14. People there cry on the forums about how "bad" balance is while lowest and highest DPS are 5% from each other.
  2. Sooo... It looks like Chrono didn't just die, it was murdered. Nice Christmas preasent, Anet. You've destroyed the e-spec I enjoyed the most in the game.It had an interesting and complex mechanic, made me helpfull and usefull to the teammates, so 2 years I spent in the chronojail were nice and cosy for me, and people I played with benefited from it. Now it is all gone, only the cold emptiness remains.I was going to craft The Shining Blade for my chrono this week, was lacking only gift of battle. I was so exited about it. But now I don't even want to log into the game anymore. I guess I'd be playing Monster Hunter World instead, at least the devs of that game are not keen on breaking things their customers enjoy.Happy Winter's Day, folks.
  3. Do you? It is assuming that every mount from lootbox has a 3.33% chance to be rolled. But are the chances of getting mount skins equal? We can never know with the lootboxes. The chances of getting skins for undesirable mounts (bunny, skimmer) can be higher than 1/30. The chances of flashy (and generally more wanted) skins like fire griffon can be lower than 1/30. After all, we already have rarity tiers in BLC's. Why not make that shiny griffon a 1% chance, and that ugly bunny 5% just to squeeze a little bit more of cash? The house always wins, you know.
  4. Well, if it was not overblown there would be like zero chances to fix the situation. The account-bound skins from BLC chests were criticised in a non-overreacting way, and look were it went. A sad world in which customers have to band into a crowd with pitchforks and torches just for a chance of getting some fair services.
  5. So, I've been reading (and posting) in this thread for a while. And I've seen a lot of posts from people that are like:"I have bought some of mount lootboxes, didn't get what I want and got burnt, now I feel cheated by this system"or"I know that system is a predatory marketing practice, but couldn't hold myself and bought a bunch" Guys, if you really feel regret about buying any mount lootboxes, CONTACT SUPPORT AND DEMAND A REFUND. If you are truely against this lootbox fallacy, this is the only way to go. As long as you don't demand a refund, your wallet votes "YES" to lootboxes, no matter what you write in this thread.
  6. It is a win/win situation for the company. There could be 2 ways out of this situation: 1) Community accepts mount lootboxes -> profit; 2) Community actively rejects lootboxes (what we have now) -> Anet says "Sorry!", removes adoption licences and gets a bunch on praise and good PR as a company that rejected filthy lootbox practices and listened to its audience (as it happened with Dauntless and Monster Hunter World recently). Additionaly they have a profit from all those who were against lootboxes, but couldn't hold themselves and already bought a bunch of them.A man who came up with this plan is very clever and calculated everything.
  7. I am sick and tired of lootboxes and gambling in video games, and the disgraceful devs trying to milk every last penny from people they see only as whales and dolphins by phsycological manipulation. And the fact, that the developer I had some trust into gave up to this anti-consumer practises makes me very sad. Anet, do the right thing and remove all this fallacy from your game. You did it right unlill now: trading exact skins for exact amount of money (gems). You can do it right once again.But untill then I will boycott your gem store entirelly (including exchanging gold for gems) and advice my friends to do the same, sorry. Lootboxes are the plague of video industry and should be stopped.
  8. So, after finishing story, all maps and mounts: gz, you made a great Living World 3.5, with beautiful maps but no replay value. It's a shame I was waiting for something other than Core Tiria 2.0. Next time try to bring some dinamic events, events with story narative and meta-events+world bosses (which were the best part of HoT, you know). So far I will not recomend PoF to any of my friends as the open-world is very weak and there is no PoF-locked end-game content beyond it. I'll guide them to HoT instead.
