  • Brazil feedback:

    • Ultra lifetime, BRL $149.99 - Updated.

    • Ultra yearly, BRL $79.99 - Same as before.

    • Ultra monthly, BRL $9.49 - Same as before.

    • Ad removal, BRL $97.99 - Same as before.

    Don’t know if it’s only the lifetime that was adjusted thought.

    Keep up the amazing work LJ, the price adjust is just amazing, thanks for doing it. It was a little on the higher end here. Now it’s fairly priced. Really appreciate it.



  • Ok, I don’t agree with the price and all the people that are answering with excuses about pricing more because Lemmy has less users, so people have to pay more for a platform that is still on their early years? That honestly makes no sense to me.

    Said that, Laurence (Sync dev) is a really awesome person.

    The amount of work and feedback he replies to, makes Sync, while closes source, feels like a collaborative software.

    So… No he’s definitely not a scumbag.


  • Honestly, if you’re paying to support the dev, ads won’t even needed to be added to the app.

    While I do like Sync and Laurence, your argument is far from the truth, there are people that will think about paying just to remove the ads. Supporting the dev will be just the bonus there.

    Edit:

    Also valid to say that a smaller user base don’t suddenly mean that you have to charge more, that thinking is, in all honesty, mind boggling to me.

    On Reddit we had native ads, that paying for Sync Pro removed, a lot of tracking and data scrapping, well lots of negative points on using the official app, Sync there was a solution to have a better experience, here it’s just prettier (imo at least), smother, well polished and makes Lemmy feels like home since it’s the same way we used to browse reddit.

    Other than that, it actually made the opposite, bringing ads to an ad free experience.

    I know Laurence needs to have a income, everyone does. Sync is indeed awesome and being closed source is not a bad thing as some like to argue about, but again not an excuse to raise the price because there is less users currently.

    If wasn’t for Lemmy existing Sync would be just dead. Simple as that, but I guess no one really think about this.

    Anyway, I reached out to Laurence to see if there is a way Sync can at least help with instances also, that would make a huge difference on the way people feel about paying for a app that works on a 100% free and opensource platform.


  • For a game that’s advertised as having “no gacha” this spotlight feels like full gacha mode on.

    The removal of gold, the huge nerf to tokens, the awful duplicate protection…

    No, I can’t say the new cache system is a improvement.

    The old system was not perfect but was better tbh. (The time where we had the series drop on a constant schedule).

    After they started holding drops (Knull and Darkhawk) it all became downhill.

    Series drop won’t happen as frequent now. Because they need to have fillers in the spotlight caches.

    Let’s see how things go, since now we do have a gacha system where saving 4 caches to “pull” on the card you want is the way to go.



  • There won’t be a character wipe.

    I don’t know how much experience you have with Diablo games, but don’t worry.

    When a season kicks in, you will have to create a new character, your old chars won’t be affected, they just won’t be seasonal characters.

    The game will have a another “realm/world” that will be for seasons, and the “Eternal” realm/world, this is the one where your current characters will remain.

    Check when you log in the game. That this is the name of the current world you are playing.

    Even when playing a seasonal character you will be able to get to your old one and finish things up with him. This will not affect and/or progress anything on the season achelievments/mission thought.

    On D3 we have something called rebirth where you just reset a normal char into a seasonal one, this was nice mainly because some players like to keep track of the amount played with the character. And to save a character slot.

    Nothing to worry, keep playing and unlocking everything you can.

    My tips is to finish the campaign, so you will be able to junp directly into the seasonal content and open up the map, map, renown and Lilith statues progressions will be shared with the seasonal character.

    Hope this helps.

    Ask away if you have any questions. Now…

    Go slay some demons! =O)




  • Awesome!!! Now time to go wacky and have some fun.

    Tip for anyone trying for infinite:

    learn to retreat.

    Simple as that, got yourself a deck that can compete? Awesome, now turn after turn, read your odds of winning with what you are drawing, if the opponent snaps, read his table and try to imagine what he have.

    NEVER snap on turn 6 (odds of the opponent leaving is very high, win 2 cubes is better than 1). Exception to this is against Galactus and you have counters to Death/Knull.

    Almost ALWAYS retreat if opponent snaps on turn 6, odds of he having the proper combo/cards to win are very high, exception is if you are damn sure your hand/last turn play is a huge one.

    If the opponent is playing Galactus, and snapped earlier (before a Wave is the most common example here), if you don’t have counters, retreat even losing 2 cubes.

    Snap early if you have the base to your win conditions. Example, Sera control with Mysterio, Hit-monkey and Sera on hand, odds of you getting the missing pieces for that explosive last turn are very high.

    Retreat to lose 1 or 2 cubes is crucial to climb to infinite.

    After you learn to retreat, you will definitely know when to snap, it’s a consequence of reading and understanding the game/decks of your opponent.

    If you are playing HE and on the last turn you have Doctor Doom and Hulk, read the table.

    Sometimes all we need is a Hulk.

    Cheers and happy snapping everyone.






  • u/Spez will just put the blame on Christian again (Apollo’s dev).

    But on a little more serious note, I doubt this is on purpose. This would look really bad for the credibility of the platform, there is a LOT of users that just want to keep doomscrolling Reddit and in all honesty don’t give a spez(fuck) about what’s going on with the protests.

    But… if this is on purpose…

    Strange decision to say the least.
