Mini rant, but it's just crazy how many times I've been screwed over by veneration/elder popups recently. I was fighting some behemoths as Garra and as I jumped my veneration popped up so it killed my upwards momentum causing me to be suspended in mid air and get 2 shot.
maybe add an option to disable that?
I really love gigantism slots, but I also want practicality so I paid a hefty sum of 80k for this BW Gigantism Ghart. Pretty proud of this skin, one of the first ones I ever did.
Couldn't choose a flair because it literally involves multiple ones. I just wanted to say how utterly fucking broken Oxytalis is, excuse my language but this piece of shit is WAY too strong to the point that it's literally so unfair, and all it gets is buffs. Yeah sure, its only weakness, fliers, get remedied by giving it wingshredder meanwhile this hunk of manure can literally win against every single fucking thing, with no means of counteraplay. Yes, hearing it coming is one way of dealing with it, but you KNOW some chud no life loser filth will camp out a single pathway for hours on end with Aggro buff and kill anything that goes past it. It's literally stronger than 90% of the creatures in the damn game, and you have no means of escaping it???? how is that fair???
375 atk, 0.9 atk cd. WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN DOING STAT TEAM. Gimon gets nerfed for having "magically unknown reasons" while Oxy gets a pat in the back for not being able to deal with fliers well. Oh I guess it's balanced since it's an all rounder- all around able to fucking dominate the entire damn game. Creatures of its weight class stand little to no chance especially if it manages to set up aggro while invis, literally nobody would be expecting it. For the love of everything why does it still have life leech the fucking thing.
I swear, I will make it my sole mission to make every Oxy's life miserable, I will deliberately hunt every single Oxy I see in my servers, I don't care if they're a baby, I will force them to never play that spec again. If I can't have fun in my game, working so hard to make up strategies, trait combos, plushies, gameplay quirks to get an advantage all to be beaten by this brainless lunk of lard, then I will make it my mission to massacre every one in existence.
"Disrespectful commentary"
With no changes, I said. "I think the testers are larpers and don't even play the game at this point from how outrageous the stat changes have been."
No cuss words, no slurs, no ad hominem, no any form of name calling. Just "larper" it's so over, lol.
And followed it by reiterating a quote from the stat insights saying, "This creature was overperforming among its peers with no counterplay" & "We're Cooked."
So, I guess criticism is disrespectful now? And any attempt to call out anyone in a higher position of their incompetence is not allowed? I can accept this if I were actually verbally abusing any of them, but no. Only 2 sentences. If not that, then maybe it was me saying that the devs refuse to fix actual issues and focus on releasing stuff like robux creatures instead. Which is valid??? Considering how they treat their artists, they should receive this much criticism, if not more.
Fully convinced that the testers don't even play the game, somehow every update they keep pulling BS reasons out of their ass to justify stat changes. Gimon was one of the worst victims.
They stripped so much bulk from it without giving anything in exchange. It had lower and lower weight and damage, but its speed was never changed in any way, shape, or form. It's functionally crippled now and unplayable. Instead of completely converting Gimon into an aquatic like they should've, they instead insisted on making it into a flier which doesn't make sense because they didn't give it anything to succeed as a flier and only lowered its weight to the weight class fliers currently have. They did it with so many of my other mains like Cryptoth and Lus-adarch, where they just completely butchered them and made them substantially weaker.
I was hoping for a new competitor to shake up the T4 aquatics, and personally, I wanted it to be a shark. But this is good too. After seeing the stats, it seems like it could compete vs. Kohiiki pretty well. This is a good start. Hoping for more soon.
I can't play for another month 🥹
Did you all really think I would let that happen?
Art by me, no AI used
I'm trying to find the explanation for why prices have skyrocketed, and here's what I've found so far from the past 5 months. The Roblox ToS changes, along with the addition of shoom piles, only should've contributed 20-35% general price increase.
Why?: For the market to not scare away new/casual players.
Robux Creatures
100%-225% price increase
Reason: Increase in robux price in certain regions. Roblox "child safety" features caused it to be banned in some countries, resulting in lower supply.
Event Creatures
130-250% price increase.
Reason: Harder to obtain(?), Price grew proporionately to ongoing general inflation, Meta changes resulting in higher demand e.g. Kretapex indirectly increased Eigion demand.
Role Limited/Badge specs
Up to 500% price increase
Reason: Hoarding/deletion of limited specs. Greedy sellers(Testers/CC/Etc...)
Artifact Creatures
275% price increase
Reason: Untrustworthy online sources invading the economy. More on this below.
I've investigated recently why the prices for artifact specs rose for no good reason, and no good answer comes up. Shrine farming has never been easier because of lures. It's still not hard to scavenge carcasses due to high stable playercount, so why did it rise so much??? I've seen these websites tell people prices before, mainly last year but no one really followed them, only a select few. But somehow, nowadays, its influence seeped onto the majority of the community.
Someone tell me how Ghartokus, a creature with no recent buffs, no significant advantage/meta-wise, has an exceedingly high price? It loses to 2 more accesible and infinitely cheaper photocarnivores. So why? I took a look at the [Game.guide] website where people reference prices, and seeing the market analysis on it is just fishy. Ghart is High demand, Morth is Medium demand, now why is that?
I can afford a sigmatox within a week by just farming warden jewels. Lowk is someone manipulating the market? Like this stinks of an inside job, but don't attribute to malice, what can be attributed to incompetence.
Just so you know, it shouldn't be that expensive, nor does it have a high demand. What I think is really going on is that the supply for Ghart is really low since its counterpart is more desirable. A low supply does not = high demand. Almost everybody already has morth, so not a lot of people are looking for it, but that doesn't lower its demand. Its demand is still considered high because just because it isn't continuously rising doesn't mean it wasn't already high to begin with. So most likely is that whoever is in charge of market analysis and putting down reference prices in that website is very inexperienced and doesn't understand continuity. ...Or... it's an inside job. I think it's more of the former because they also listed Seradae as high demand. That's just a lie, isn't it? Nobody is looking for Seradae, it's not strong, it's not popular, nobody is looking for it. A few months ago, it was impossible to find a Seradae seller. No buffs, no updates, no redesign, no place in the meta, it's nigh impossible for this to be high demand. So it's very likely that this person just repeatedly misinterprets low supply as high demand. This can happen, but only if the supplies are limited. That's called a tight market, which is what happened to the badge specs.
((Also for shadow specs, I cba because they legit ruined the niche by just turning it into quantity over quality. But if you ask me, its price increase should've only been 30% because even tho there are carcass thieves, it's far more accesible and easier to complete compared to old shadow shrine.))
