I'm not even sure if Sienna's selling was terrible or she was simply giving those strikes the selling they deserved.

| Lopen 03/09/17 10:17:08 PM #468 | Yeah HBK superkicking Triple H out of that Rumble I liked not just because it screwed over Triple H but because it made sense for me. Shawn was just that desperate to win, and it's not like he doesn't backstab his friends all the time anyway. Also Batista was a heel at this time he just wasn't a midcarder-- like I said I think a midcarder would've been good because that feud works as a brief transitional feud no matter who eliminates him so why "waste" Batista with it. I mean Shawn having to accept it is fine no matter his alignment as long as he's eliminated clean which he was-- then you just have the heel act like an ass setting up a brief filler feud on the way to Wrestlemania, which IIRC happened in some limited capacity with Batista anyway. I do actually agree that the ring was a bit underfilled in general with that one though. Give me an underfilled ring over an overfilled one every time but yeah. --- No problem!

| Lopen 03/09/17 4:22:57 PM #121 | If we're in an environment where the concern of being racially diverse and being super careful to not offend anyone is to such an extent that we're crapping on a TV show entirely because of race proportions being true to the source material and not any of the content within it, the environment is the thing that's currently in the wrong and I commend Iron Fist for having the guts to not compromise from the original story. Being PC is not always good. At one point it was PC to own slaves after all. Society, if it can't accept a story entirely because a white guy happens to be the starring role in a foreign land, is going too far and it deserves a bit of bite back. --- No problem!

| Lopen 03/09/17 4:14:45 PM #114 | Like seriously you're arguing that we should arbitrarily change the races in the story because it could be perceived some way otherwise. I'll side with the guy who thinks we should be true to the source material over stepping on eggshells to be PC any day. The presentation is what matters. Racial distributions should not be considered a big deal unless the story presents them improperly-- in which case your issue shouldn't be "this guy is white and he's helping out Asians" as much as "this guy is white and they portray all the Asians as subservient to the white guy." Scarlet is 100% right that that this basically happens in Harry Potter. The foreign hero story shouldn't be condemned just because it's a foreign hero story. --- No problem!

Really your only option is to never use the white guy in the main character role, or be sure the region it takes place in is super diverse or made of like smurfs or something.

| Lopen 03/09/17 1:35:47 PM #264 | Because Tidus is my favorite character in Final Fantasy. I don't care about getting the good units I care about getting units I like and pumping TMRs into em and making em beastly. I mean I'm using Snow as my tank over Cecil which should tell you everything you need to know (I have 5 Cecils). That doesn't mean I'm above drawing for good units once in a while if they're not my favorites if they're decent characters or have designs or TMRs I like (like I drew for Ling, for example, and she has no character aside from her BE Design) I'm just saying like, if you get say, Orlandu, his relative impact on your team vs random utility 4* will offset the fact that he's more rare. Getting all these extra 4*s when you have a good base gives really low gains all things considered. Getting Orlandu would be a rather significant gain. Like I dunno, boiling it down to numbers. Say you've got a good selection of 4*s, and overall total team strength, considering all things like silver bullet comps and whatnot, is 1.0. Say Orlandu is a mainstay and changes your overall team strength to 1.2 cause he's that much better than the 4* you're slotting out for him. Compare to a random 4* that you're drawing for niche situations or for a TMR. They're only going to up your team strength to like 1.02 or something. Like you're getting a very marginal upgrade over a role, or some random silver bullet character that is almost never useful. So you've got a 0.5% chance to up your team strength to 1.2, or a 9.5% chance to up your team strength to 1.02. Think how many 4*s you'll need to match up to Orlandu's contribution. I guess I just look at Elza and Gilgamesh (or if I was powergaming my 5* draws, I know how beastly Noctis would be from bringing him as a friend so much) and wonder how many random non-core 4*s I'd need to match up to their contribution vs like Chizuru and it's like... it's probably enough that I'd need to draw quite a lot of times. --- No problem!

| Lopen 03/09/17 1:10:47 PM #261 | Who's getting Orlandu I'm getting Tidus. I think a 40% chance of getting Tidus or whatever the best 5* for you is is better than hitting an excessively large spread of 4*, is all I'm saying. That's not meant to be an objective truth but it's close enough that it's debatable. Basically as long as you have the bases you have some freedom, so focus on getting a base set of characters that are good and maintaining it with power creep, it shouldn't take all your draws. The extra draws you can either focus into a 5* you like or diversify your 4*. You can't do both without getting the equip credit card skill but 4*s have generous enough odds that you should be able to keep with curve without burning all of your picks as long as you're minimalist on what you consider the curve (Refia good, Luka after you have Refia not so important, Cupid Artemios too niche to be too important, etc) voltch posted... Easy to get all of the good ones. Don't draw for Nine is what I'm saying! --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 03/09/17 12:37:29 PM #258 | I'm not saying those 4*s you mentioned aren't worth drawing for. I will of course be drawing hard for Rikku (because it's Rikku, not cause she's good, though that's certainly nice) I'm saying it's easy to get all of the good ones and still have plenty of extra draws to burn if you don't feel a compulsion to draw for slight lateral upgrades or niche things like reducing dark resist or TMRs alone. Basically you need to choose going hard for a 5* vs diversifying your 4*. Former choice is completely valid as long as you get a good base of 4*. --- No problem!

| Lopen 03/09/17 12:14:47 PM #256 | crazygamer999 posted... Any ideas on how to get interest back? the last few events have dried me out for now. This happened to me early in the game's run. First few events were rough. I quit after the stupid Gravity Rod event for about a month. I decided to just stop playing (like not even doing the daily quest-- login bonus and out) until something that was actually interesting to me (Four Fiends Event) appeared. I really think it's important to forfeit the daily lapis quest. The first week or so I kept trying to get that 50 lapis but if you play the game even 10 minutes a day to do those quests you don't feel like you're taking a break. --- No problem!

| Lopen 03/09/17 12:11:10 PM #255 | Well I mean drawing for a TMR is like luxury drawing though. If you're luxury drawing may as well shoot for 5*s instead. And the rest are too niche to really matter much as things you must have. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 03/09/17 12:07:36 PM #424 | Yeah there was a stretch in TNA around 2010 to 2012, where I was legit entertained nearly every week. TNA was better than current day Smackdown Live at that point, and I generally like current day Smackdown Live. Daffney was definitely a part of the early part of that, but I think Bully Ray is probably the standard I use to track it. Basically "after Brother Ray became Bully Ray but before Aces & Eights" was the glory age. Not necessarily because of Bully Ray (though he certainly helped) but yeah he's a good landmark I remember from around the time. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |

| Lopen 03/09/17 9:49:21 AM #248 | Drawing for 5*s is fine just be measured in how often you do it and be sure to get a good supply of strong 4*s as priority one. Like right now I have well over 90 tickets and have been accumulating Lapis as I've been skipping banners entirely for a while now. I'm not really sure how getting a Nine or Shine or Cupid Artemios or whatever else help when I've already got an abundant supply of decent-good base 4*s like Ling Luka Chizuru Tilith Snow Agrias and 3*s like X-Death Cecil Firion CoD etc Not that I use most of these since I lucked into 5*s which typically take slots, but point is even without those 5*s it's possible for me to make a decent squad. That is to say there becomes a point where you just don't need anymore 4*s and you may as well follow your heart for drawing and go for some 5*s once in a while. --- No problem!

| Lopen 03/08/17 10:20:48 PM #463 | Man ADR was a great winner in 2011 you guys didn't know what you were talking about. It's only the later stuff like... 2013 face ADR! And yeah I was unsure you would like 2009 much cause you seem much more anti-Orton than I was but seems your thoughts about matched up with mine. Anyway. Royal Rumble 2013 This Rumble has a good balance of everything. The number of people in the ring hovers around a good number of 7-9. The action is pretty spread out-- we've got a nice distribution of people doing their big spots in the ring and others doing. There's a good amount of comedy/gimmicky stuff without overdoing it. Mystery entrants are a nice combination of competent (Jericho, Goldust) and gimmicky (Godfather, who doesn't overstay his welcome). There aren't really any huge flaws (bar the finish, which I'll get into) either. Like I could say "well they kept the camera on Kofi a bit too closely while he was doing his chair pogostick thing" or "Cody Rhodes was a master troll and then eliminated a bit too early for all his troll cred" but I don't feel any of this really detracted from the match. The end is the one flaw. You have Sheamus, Cena, and Ryback as the final 3. This final 3 lasts a rather long time. It's not actually that bad to watch-- doesn't drag, but I feel like all three of these guys play to similar appeals, so really if you weren't a subscriber to that type of wrestler you weren't getting much out of this. Replace Sheamus with say, Ziggler or Jericho, and I think you've got a more interesting group. And of course Cena wins, which is well, predictable to the point where it hurts my vibe from this Rumble, but not overly so. I kinda feel like pulling the trigger on Ryback here would've been best for business even though Ryback wasn't very good it felt like the right time, but I tend to place most of the blame on CM Punk vs The Rock, as 500 day reign Punk vs Cena would've been an excellent Mania match and the backdrop the culmination of that feud deserved, predictable or not. I think this is pretty much the dead neutral Rumble for me. I was never bored, but I never really got hyped for anything in the ring either. Top 3 moments were: 1. Goldust's entrance. 2. Jericho's entrance. 3. Tensai's entrance. Because Tensai was awesome. Oh also I felt bad for Khali this Rumble. First Rumble where I really felt like he looked pained to move. I assume this is his last Rumble cause yeah he did not look happy out there :( Royal Rumble Ranking 1992 > 2004 > 2002 > 1997 > 2007 > 1990 > 2011 > 2001 > 1994 > 2009 > 2003 > 2010 > 1996 > 1989 > 1988 > 2013 > 1993 > 2005 > 2008 > 1991 > 1995 > 1998 > 2012 > 2000 > 1999 > 2006 Now... if you really want something I disliked, look no further than the undercard. I have enough hatred for CM Punk vs The Rock to sour me on the whole show. Just... god. Listen, I'm not Punk's biggest fan. Frankly I think he was kinda overrated and the only reason he was considered as good on the mic as he was is because he was given so much freedom to just say things they won't let other guys say, and his ring work is good but kinda sloppyat times, but man, you wonder why WWE can't build stars. Rock didn't even look good here. He was totally blown up like 5 minutes in-- I've seen Billy Gunn last longer than this. Punk beating Rock here would've cemented him as a legit star, and you would've had a guy other than Cena who people cared about. And you say "well Punk left!!" frankly I don't think he leaves the WWE if they put him over Rock here and let him ME Mania against Cena. Like frustration was a big part of Punk leaving-- let him actually be the star that he thinks he is and frankly I'd say he earned despite my cries of overrated, and he's here for another few years for sure. Alternatively, Ryback vs Rock. Think about it. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! |
