@Dolenz_PSN If you've never gone full renegade in ME 1 and 2, you're missing out. It's hilarious.

@LIONED-33_XBL Can't get on board with what I've seen so far regarding DAVG.

I love old BioWare, esp. KOTOR, ME 1, DAO, and Jade Empire (best theme song of all time, amazing writing/dialogue).

Apparently there's no real choice in DAVG -- can't be renegade/evil, it's all flowers and rainbows.

So I'm replaying DAO for the first time in years.

Why do people have to be such douchebags? For real.

As far as the stubs go, you should be printing money at this point in the cycle -- it's so easy to get packs and duplicate diamonds...500 stubs at this point is like 100 earlier in the cycle...

Adults calling other adults "homie," "kid," "my brother in Christ," and "goober."

Really?

This game is so low-effort on so many things important to baseball fans.

Giving him 90 arm strength is a stretch, but Ozzie Smith and Tony Gwynn are above the power threshold on some cards...

DD ratings are absolutely whack and always have been.

Should be able to trade cards with friends

Um, the corpos who want to monetize DD say....NO.

@BJDUBBYAH He broke TOS and paid someone to grind it for him.

Oh. I see. And where did you gain that information?

Dude, you have a PhD in Forum Research and Statistics. Figure it out.

@Anduril-Returns said in legends/old players and 7 different versions of the same guy:

Completely agree. Tired of the same players, same images. Spend a few bucks and get some more old stars/legends in the game now ... Dave Stieb, Jimmy Key, Lou Whitaker, Jack Morris, Jesse Barfield, George Bell, Willie Wilson, Dwight Evans, Cecil Cooper, Mark Langston, Lance Parrish, Steve Rogers, Andy van Slyke ... so many good players from the 80s alone.

Wllie McGee! Bug-eyed mofo -- killed my Cubs back in the day.

Would love to see Shawon Dunston

Throw Power 750.

@Loyal-Wiglaf how did I pick a fight because I told the other guy to mind his business about other people's lives and then Rambo wants to reply to me telling me he is a green beret like I care lmao? Then you who has nothing to do with anyone trying to talk smack cause you have a little weiner. Laugh

Settle down, Young'n. Go do your Buffalo Bill routine in the mirror and then put the lotion in the basket.

@Xx-Pisciotta said in CBrev News?:

@Bearsfan217 Big deal Yung one, I retired from the Army 10 years ago. Would you like a cookie? Let's compare DD-214's , I did 49 months in Iraq. Iet me guess you did 12 months and stayed on the fob. Tool

No wonder our military is suffering. This guy picks fights on a video game message board. Probably because he shat himself in the field IRL.

@YOSHI24 Thank you too. And I know I said casual, but I misspoke I guess. I do play a lot and grind more than the average player. It’s funny how I tried to make a positive post encouraging others to just enjoy what they can and how they can and some folks find a way to turn it negative.

My intention also wasn't to be negative. I don't want to take away from the fun that you personally have had playing the game. I just think that complaining about the content structure is valid and much different from baseless negativity/trolling.

Also, the enjoyment I find in this game is grinding offline for cards and then bringing that team online to compete. I think the fact that you are at a point that I would be content with and it took way more grinding than most prior years would have kind of proves the point of most of the complaints I have seen. Again, I apologize if you took my comment as being a troll or being toxic, my intention was not to be rude to you.

This -- or at least most of it

Well, that certainly wasn't my intention. But I am trying to highlight that the structure of DD is ridiculous if you try to keep up with it. If you are killing it and enjoying it, like you, then cool. I just think it's an anti-human design by SDS.

@Loyal-Wiglaf said in The worst weekend for double XP?:

Be honest -- a lot of the DD fan base will choose TA3 and double xp over their moms.

I played ONE Conquest game...

if you spent as much time playing as you do telling people how bad the game is, you'd probably have capitalized on double XP.

But I like doing this! Much more than I like playing the game. Sorry. Deal with it, or don't comment, or comment...your choice, "brotha"!

So, I think the OP is probably a good guy, and his message is to tune out the "trolls and haters." But it's pretty clear that he's enjoying the game the way lots of people enjoy crystal meth, if you know what I mean.

Let's face it: DD has been designed for "maximum engagement." There's always going to be a new high, and it's never going to get you the same high as the old high.

The OP is the player that SDS is targeting, and because of that there's clearly a conversation to be had about game design and social responsibility. The Season format leans into FOMO and addiction-algorithms. It's gross.

@Orcin52 said in Stating the Obvious:

I am a casual offline player who bought the deluxe edition and spent an additional $100 on stubs. I still need 5 30K+ diamonds to complete the live series, have less than 150 S1 cards, and somewhere around 650K in the XP program. I have completed TA parts 1 and 2, and all of the other programs except the egg hunt and awards drop 7.

I think it is clear that the difference between me and the OP is time. I started on early access weekend and I have played 161 hours (roughly 2.5 hours per day). I am curious as to the OP's total. I don't flip cards, so I am also curious as to whether the OP flips cards to get stubs.

If the OP plays about the same amount of time and doesn't play the market for stubs, then it is clear that I suck at the game. That's ok too, I am really just curious as to how I am so far behind the other "casual" players.

Even with "double XP" (I use that term EXTREMELY loosely, since it's just last year's regular XP...and that's IF you even get the double) I only managed to climb to 287k. I MIGHT hit the Mike Napoli card if I'm lucky but he end of S1

Congratulations on having an actual life outside of Diamond Dynasty. I mean no disrespect to those who make this their full-time job, or second full-time job -- like the guy said, it's your time and your money -- but everyone can see that Seasons is just a timer whispering to you, "Better get to work -- season's wrapping up!"

That, plus the pack cards, nerfing xp, gatekeeping stubs...[censored] gross.

No thanks.

Ah, vault packs, I see. I watched like the first minute of the stream replay, then couldn't stomach any more.

Well, SDS is dead to me. I would much rather have had a normal human response -- an apology -- than vault packs, regardless of the diamonds. They are bunkered down a weathering the storm and are determined not to apologize.

It quite literally -- no exaggeration -- makes me not want to even finish a conquest game...

So long, SDS.

The game is garbage but I don't think it's garbage because you don't win games.
