Popular Post DoubleJ Posted January 27, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2015 Aside from the Competitive Scene, there really isn't all that much to do. At least, nothing that attracts my attention. 1. Shiny Hunting is mindless, repetitive button clicking 2. Pay-Day'ing is mindless, repetitive button clicking 3. Alt Runs are mindless, repetitive button clicking through a game we've played countless times The only way to make money is by Pay-Day'ing or using the VS Seeker. Players have shown that PayDay isn't a time effective method of making money. VS Seeker is severely limited due to its cooldown. Official Tournaments have now flipped to offer prizes that are of little to no value in game. 1. Gift Shinies that are untradeable 2. Items that are readily obtained in game 3. Items that are worth 25-40k each We used to openly laugh at prizes similar to what could be given out in these upcoming tournaments. Gift Shinies sound cool, but they aren't going to do anything but rot in my pc if I win them. Comp Shinies are likely going to be low tier pokemon that will never see the light of competition. Shiny Trading isn't attractive because the high profile shiny traders hoard their best items and will only sell for outrageous prices that only they can afford when they get bored. It's also known that you cannot compete with players that perform Real World Trading. Shiny Trading isn't even that fun honestly. Competition is somewhat still there, but without much incentive aside from saying "Hey, I beat you, look at this awesome Gift Comp Shiny I got", I don't know what to do. Players are trying to cling to anything they can in this game, and you can see that by the Unofficial Master's Series that Jay and Arch are hosting. A lot of players are fading out and new players aren't garnering the respect of older players because they simply aren't winning. Rich players have all the comps they need and breeding is easy for them as well since they have the resources to do so. No fun there. I've logged in game about 10x today and log out after about 10 minutes, because the game is boring and stale. A new region was introduced and that's not even very intriguing. To many Hoenn just seems taxing and tiresome to play through. Tournaments are all there really is for me, but now we can't even trade our Shiny Prizes to stay afloat in this game. tl;dr The economy is broken. The grind is real. The competition sucks. Mods are doing weird things. The End. MisterHide, JonazDK, Robofiend and 43 others 46 Link to comment

Inarin Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hell, I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I hate breeding. With the changes, it's practically mandatory if I want to play competitive. The game has lost all interest from me now, since it's quit the only thing keeping me or do something I dislike at a core level. That's my personal additions to what I agree with in what JJ already said. Link to comment

DoubleJ Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) So what would you rather be doing? Playing for incentive. Playing in an Official Master's Series that will not only reward me for my efforts but also let me say, "I AM THE GREATEST!" EDIT: That's what I would like to be doing. I'm sure other players have different and potentially better ideas for this game. Edited January 27, 2015 by DoubleJ Heylmacrab 1 Link to comment

But since I don't have a girl, my friends are usually busy and I'm not exactly happy, I'd like to win a master tournies and turn WEELEE into shiny. sweendog, Pidgeysaurus, Blue and 4 others 7 Link to comment

Kyu Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The upstairs pvp system could have been worked on, that was fun to play when it was actually going. This sucked for a lot of reasons, some of which are: Dueling is much more convenient Because it was open all day every day, matchfixing is very easy to do during non-peak times No rewards means no players, making matchfixing easier, but we can't attach rewards until we're sure it won't suck otherwise they're abused Average Joe™ doesn't know the matchmaking exists because of a lack of publicity Some thought was given to these over the year, and we couldn't really figure out how to make it suck less, so it's stuck on the backburner until we figure it out.

Shaniqualela Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The upstairs pvp system could have been worked on, that was fun to play when it was actually going. I think I battled on that once and it took like an hour to find a match and I just completely shit on some guy who was using his story mode Pokemon Link to comment
bl0nde Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 1. Players have shown that PayDay isn't a time effective method of making money. 2. Hey, I beat you, look at this awesome Gift Comp Shiny I got" 3. A lot of players are fading out and new players aren't garnering the respect of older players because they simply aren't winning. 4. I've logged in game about 10x today and log out after about 10 minutes, because the game is boring and stale. A new region was introduced and that's not even very intriguing. For me, when the new region comes out it took me like 2 weeks to convince my friend to play with me in it. You could call him very noober-ish. He hasn't played through the region ever and I played through it but only when I was in jr high so I don't remember it either. We play together about an hour or two some days and are working our way through it. Watching his noober-ish struggles brings fun for me. It's totally new exploration and we don't use a guide. It's a blast really. On #3, I saw that in my old game. Different people say things for different reasons (generic statement ftw). However, it was consistent in the late years of the game that some of the self dubbed champs of the early years (who also hadn't played in years) continually put down the new guys. That also happened until the game went off-line. It drove me nuts honestly. Once someones mind establishes that "do you know of my greatness in 2012" ego, sometimes that never goes away. I went through that leet no life play when I was 17-19. I drop commanded and my team dominated in leagues. We played the same 3 guys every time. I bent the rules, exploited glitches, anything to win - and we did. Over 400 wins 25 loses total. Then it was all over and went off-line and I said what happened to my life. Only a legend in my own mind. When you go to work the cash register at Mc D's - no one cares, LOL. So I looked at it and said wow that was dumb, and then I became a semi filthy casual here in pokeMMO. A game I consider much more relaxing personally (prolly cuz i dont tourney). Maybe it's time for you to find what PokeMMO is for me and get out of no life mode JJ. Although I will mention something I've written 3 times and decide not to post is that sometimes I think without you and bowser (maybe a few others) this game mighta already started the journey down the toilet in the comp scene, rofl. There's just not enough pizazz or players. It's a small, stagnant community. Mellow, LegendP, Throwdown and 4 others 7 Link to comment

Battle points as prizes from upstairs please :p If you win you get 100 BP for every Pokemon you have alive. 6-0 = 600 BP 5-0 = 500 BP It's not a lot but if you do enough of them you can buy the things from trainer tower shop you need without grinding quick claw slowbros and thunderbolt primeapes Link to comment
