I’m asking this because if the ratio remains equivalent (e.g. assuming current rate is 1 in 32k per one spin and 500 spins cost 45k gems), there’d be no gain from compressing spins into lucky spins (so 500 spins become 50 lucky spins each is a 1 in 3.2k instead).
Exact same likelihood for same price.

Edit: legendary pity ig

I wanna preface my saying I’m sure this is incredibly mild compared to the typical post you see on here, and I feel bad taking up people’s time on this silly issue as I’m sure others on this page struggle with worse problems, but it’s still an upsetting situation and I just want to fix it. I haven’t been professionally diagnosed but the symptoms seem to match up.

I'm struggling with a perfectionism/compulsion loop in video games right now, and it’s completely locking me out of my favorite hobby during my summer break before I have to go back to school/work (I suffer other issues in regards to my suspected OCD, but this is the one I currently wanna hone in on). I just need to see if anyone else experiences this specific type of "restartitis,” and if so, how I would be able to stop it.

Basically, if I break an arbitrary, self-imposed rule during a playthrough, my brain signals that the entire save file is "contaminated" or permanently marred. The nagging anxiety builds up as I keep trying to play the game because I believe I’ll never enjoy it on this save on the only way I would is to delete my progress, and start a new save, but all this does is make me incredibly bored trying to repeat the exact same parts over and over again.

A few examples of how this is ruining games for me:

• Elden Ring: I was 40 hours into a fresh playthrough. I remembered I used a summon against one random boss (summons are helper minions that fight the boss for you the community commonly refer to as a crutch for players, which I only ever used in that one boss fight and never again). The thought that I "ruined" a summon-less run nagged me so badly that, despite vowing not to give in, I deleted the save. I restarted, used a healing spell in the tutorial, felt that marred the run, and deleted it again. Now I'm stuck, afraid to play a game I love because I know a new "stupid rule" will pop up. → I have damn near 1k hours on the game and they’re all mostly on the early-mid game and all I wanna do is finally get to the late game but I can never manage…
• Minecraft: I deleted a world I put a massive amount of work into because I used chunkbase map helper once, felt like I "cheated," and couldn't look at the world the same way again.
• Destiny 2: I made a narrative choice to side with the Drifter instead of the Vanguard (two different factions in the game). I felt it permanently ruined my character's legacy, panicked, and straight up deleted my 10-year-old main character while upset.
• Pokemon: kept restarting my initial save file to try and get the exact nature I wanted on my starter Pokemon, which didn’t even matter because the stat boost natures give can be modified later in the game to match the one I desire but the idea that I’d have a mismatch between my starter’s nature and the stat boost it gets from it felt horrible because it was narratively contradictory and I thought then my Pokemon will always be “lesser.”

I want to enjoy my free time, but it feels like my brain is holding my progress hostage. With every clean slate I make an in-game decision I believe is fine that a few hours later I begin to believe was a mistake that permanently marred my play-through and that I’d have to reset.

Does anyone else deal with this kind of rigid perfectionism or compulsion to erase progress? How do you cope with it without throwing away hours of hard work?

Edit: do wanna mention this isn’t exclusive to just video games, as it happens in other situations where a few years ago I felt the need to rewash my hands a million times (thankfully was able to get over that), or proof-reading an essay a million times unnecessarily (still happens), but this is the current bout of it ruining my free time. Never got checked out by a professional as it isn’t as severe as other cases or life-ruining but still want at least some temporary solution to enjoy my summer break before I’m back to school and work.

Edit: would like to change my question since I realize this is commonly asked, but will the 3D or surround sound audio be worse in terms of realism if I use another headset?

One side of the headphones broke and now it’s odd listening on one side but not the other, especially with the weight imbalance.

Is there a way to remove both headphones to use my own custom one? Thanks.

I’m not just talking about pure value, but value & demand in conjunction.

If colossal serum is higher in both value and demand, are any of the special skin variant sets higher demand + value than jotunn odm? Between Oni deus and jotunn ODM ts.

Mainly looking for cosmetics or upgrades / mythical family and I add so shoot your offer!

Potential adds:
• Colossal Serum
• Auras: Chroma Surge, Crow Clone, Permafrost, Flame/Lightning/Water Breath
• Boosts / Scrolls / Keys / All perks/artifacts/shards.
• Deus TS Set
• Attire’s: Berserker’s / Soul Reaper’s / Shogun’s / Archer’s / Sasuke’s / Akatsuki’s / Tanjiro’s / Naruto’s • Susanoo’s Wings / Spirit’s Wings
• Truth Seeking Orbs
• Blades: Dragonslayer, Samehada, Sword of Rupture, Demon Dweller, Kubikirbocho (Zabuza’s sword), Caliburn, Nichirin Katana.

If I have gems to spend, should I go for scout fashion 2 in hopes of getting angel’s wings, or go for Naruto crate in hopes of getting Susanoo’s wings? Or anything else?

Which would mathematically give best value?

Trying to grind a bunch of alt accounts to level 25 and saving them up for new codes to drop and spin all of them and if I roll helos/fritz I prog it to P3 and trade the family to my main

Thing is, I’ve been seeing lots of posts between people saying they traded stuff to/from their alts and they get shadowed or banned

There’s no way to confirm if they actually were merely trading between alts or actually bming so I just wanna know what would be designated as a safe trade or what I should do to avoid it and if turning off trading history on both ends would prevent it, and if I should just entirely give up on this alt acc process for safety’s sake, but I’m desperate for a mythical family so I’m thinking of going through with it.

Thanks!

If I farm a bunch of colossal serums, could I flip them for decent cosmetics worth 0.3 viz? If so, enough of those I can do upgrade to viz mask and 2 of those and I have Fritz

But that relies on colossal serum being reliably trade-able for 0.3 viz, which is why I wanna confirm

As a returning player who hasn’t played in about 3 years, is it safe to dismantle all my old gear? What about tier-4 and sub-tier-4 weapons and armor? Can I safely dismantle all of those as well? Thanks!

Hey all

Spent a gruelingly large amount of hours grinding to 800m gold before prestiging and traded em all for spins and got jack

Did get a Reiss at least so ig that’s fine but what method is the best to grind for items to trade for a mythical family? Or any tiktokers etc who could possibly doing giveaways for them? Seems like running colossal raids for serums with a good group and trading said serums en masse for cosmetics and upgrading those cosmetics is the best method, but would you guys propose anything else? Solo grinding other raids in sub 2-min time? Running waves with the sole intention of farming shards and trading shard items off? Grind even more painful missions to get 1B gold for P5 gold to gem conversion?

Help me out here. I’m trying to avoid stuff like bm as much as possible. Thx.

On one hand mythical families are likely to keep dropping, on the other you get 10x the number of rolls if you buy spins over crates with the same odds of getting a mythical (like angel’s wings)

This is assuming the rates aren’t fake.

In either case, fake or not fake, if I’m someone who has no mythical family and wants one way more than he cares about cosmetics, what should I do? Roll crates for something like angel’s wings to try and trade for a mythical family or roll spins and try to directly get it? (Alternatively buying crates en masse without rolling but only trading them)

Some dude is gonna give me some in game stuff (cosmetics) to have me help him set up and moderate his newly created AOTR server (he doesn’t know how discord works whether it’s setting up tickets or bots or ban appeals etc) so I was wondering how could I make a middleman request and how can I be sure the server is trusted and the middleman is also trusted? If you know any good servers pls lmk thx

I’ve never met greedier people in my life.

At worst they give you a 2x loss, at best they give you an equal value trade while still trying to squeeze you for your life savings

I’ve been trying to find a fair trade for gold boosts in the last hour and no one is willing to do it unless I’m extraordinarily overpaying.

If anyone has additional gold pots they can trade to me for keys/scrolls or mythic perks and artifacts pls lmk I need them as I’m 400 mil gold away from hitting the gold to gem prestige cap to try and finally get a mythic family.

So tired of playing Leonhart 😭

Title. I'm wondering if it matters all that much or will lightly encumber you in some way or if it doesn't matter all that much. I just made a new ATM10 world and spawned on an island and idk if it's worth it to progress rn if I'm just gonna make a new world.
