OP are you one of the developers of the game? If yes,

a) Is it possible to save the login info so that no need to input it again? Just used to have that feature on other RPGs.

b) Is adding the NPC icon on the map will be added in the future update/patch? Kind of hard to explore the area although not a big deal. Where can I purchase HP pots? lol.

c) I can't enable Auto-Fighting. I know my configuration is right as I'm not new into that feature. Maybe I missed something?

You know the reason why things turned out like this right? Therefore, it's not making sense to say that businesses are done.

The world will slowly back again on track or should I say, it's now in process. Trust the process.

Cheer up. There are more people who experience even worst than you. It's not the end of the day.

Over the past few years, I have been horrified by the way accounts of various exchanges and crypto-related websites and individuals have been hacked by hackers. Is there any way to out of this insecurity? I think cryptocurrency will lose popularity if it continues like this, share your ideas on what can be done to overcome this situation.

At least the best thing you can do is to stay away at those not popular or newly established exchanges and trading platforms to minimize the risks.

About the hacking issue in general, no way it can be avoided that's why platforms do their best to maximize their security as possible.

And no, I don't see this will bring a negative impact in cryptocurrency. Good thing, there are now lots of reputable and big crypto exchanges today that will erased all doubts that crypto is not safe.

Trust the process mate.

.. But the question is how much money did they lost after taking that win.

Doesn't matter especially at those who bet small and play with high odds. Surely, those gamblers who bet for a small amount are aiming for that purpose for a long-time so even we know how much they bet overall, I think their winnings covered it all.

I'm also an enthusiast of taking chances in a long list of parlays but it's really difficult to win if you aim for a higher payout (obviously) even how good we are at those covered sports.

Rigged or not, still, it's difficult to rely on insiders. Sometimes sh*t happened. All I can say is, most of them got lucky while applying their own knowledge.
4565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ask]; Start betting on horse racing gambling. on: July 20, 2020, 11:27:54 PM
My question;
"What tips, factors & steps are used or looked at before betting on the racetrack to have a chance to win.

Horse racing is one of the popular games here in our country. Lots of regulated gambling places here that specifically for horse racing only. There's even one about a few blocks from our home. If by chance, I will take a pic of it but unfortunately it was closed at the moment due to the pandemic.

Frankly speaking, you need to have information about those horses. If not, you need to rely on insiders or someone who has knowledge. No such thing as lucky bet here so picking random horses is not a good idea. The technique for beginners when playing in a gambling place I have mentioned is to join the flow of what other people there are thinking. Not an assurance that's a win but since "beginners" it's a good move while learning the phase of the game.

Since it's pandemic, there are online horse racing that becomes a hype here. The betting style is just the same, you will pick a horse based on your preferences. The tip here is to not always rely on underdogs even the payout is really good (obviously). The reason? Because there is no way we can tell how's the horse performance here unless you are in the session right from the start of the game. Totally different in physical betting where horses are popular and even some on the sports tip area in the newspaper. Sometimes, the number of bets is manipulated (based on my known insider - admin of the game*) of the gambling so it's better to be contented to bet between 1.4-1.5 odds for at least a safe spot.

Yeah, but the management can deal with this in more private conversations, they don't need to make things more complicated. It's understandable that they also got offended by the team owner's statement, but better to act professionally.

I don't see where's the "complicated part" just because PBA is giving info to the media. I also don't see how it became unprofessional.

Obviously, there are things that's not publicly told. If you read the content, it's fine mate. PBA should always update the community about what's happening inside. Of course, not all information should be leaked and reading all news and articles related to the issue, there is no sensitive info yet based on my understanding.

I just hope they'll be back to normal that they can resume so people will stop thinking weird and they will not be affected by the COVID-19 depression or something that could affect their way of thinking.

It's cleared that BlackWater resumes practice meaning they are preparing for the league's comeback. That selling issue what I have mentioned is more of personal reason and other reasons that popped out in the news is more of a reason that just thinks now.*

We know that he backtracked but I just want to remind everyone that even crypto personalities can't predict the market and they get it wrong most of the time. Do not fall for their "expert" opinions.

McAfee's prediction to me is not a big deal from the start. I'm not even taking it seriously. Just can't believe there are really people who expect that $500,000 BTC in 3 yrs. I mean, I admire the optimism but I always stick to the most realistic thing to happen. Obviously, no one can predict.

On the bright side, Bitcoin got real attention that year because of McAfee's troll, at least. It's Bitcoin after all so even how risky it is, it's worth putting a shot here. I just don't like that he involved in some ICO projects as a supposed advisor that creates hypes at those investors. Those projects aren't even active in development today.
4568  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Determine which coin to invest in? on: July 17, 2020, 08:17:18 PM
Hi guys, I am seeking general crypto advice. What factors do you consider when you seek for a lesser-known currency to invest in?

Aside from those on the top, choosing other coins to invest is really tough and our own factors of choosing coins might not be as effective when you applied it to your own. As for me, I always look at how large the community is and some actions, plans and developments by the team behind that coin. But take note, still it's not an assurance that "it will be worth it" someday.

Since people have different preferences try to make your "own preferences".

I am not talking about the top 10 or 20 coins, but lesser known coins.

The fact that they are "lesser known coins", it's risky to just hopped in without understanding the risks.

I suggest to totally ignore them. But if your experience is telling you that "you want to take the risks", it's up to you. I've been there before and able to have a decent run playing at those kinds of coins/tokens but I understand the risks of what I did. Just go deep with DYOR skills as much as possible.

I agree with some replies above that the "selling issue" is more of a personal issue. It's clear that the Blackwater team owner is frustrated because they have slapped by the PBA with the penalty. In other words, there is no plan of selling the team right from the beginning because if do, they should announced it earlier and no need to go on practice. It looks like a protest for me in response to what the PBA did.

I don't see any wrong for what the PBA did as the pandemic should be treated seriously. Just a simple rule and they can't follow, Php 100,000 penalty is just candy to them. So arrogant that the owner didn't see the effort of whole league and teams to prepare for their resume. And now what, because of the team owner's action, PBA is now concern that it won’t jeopardize the league’s return.

Denver Nuggets All-Star center Nikola Jokic has cleared quarantine and will watch his team's Tuesday night practice in Orlando, Florida.

Well then, hoping for the best. With the tight competition in the West, we don't want to see an incomplete Denver Nuggets lineup once the NBA resume.

And that's it, the feeling of facing a Covid-19 positive just last month. With that several and repetitive tests done to Jokic, I do hope the virus really leaves Jokic's premises lol.



Letter: It’s time to forgive Rudy Gobert

He might be the first one to be tested positive in the league but it doesn't mean he is the source.

Unfair if today, there are still people looking to him like that.

I am sure it is a scam and wanted confirmation from others that it is such.

Since you are sure it's a scam no need for others to confirm it. Just ignored it completely.

The fact that you want a confirmation, maybe you also consider using the site even as you said, "too good to be true".

I suggest to edit the title and the content of the thread and removed all links pointing to the site. I know by removing the name, newbies might not be aware but no need for that site to be popped up here in the forum. After that, you may now lock the thread.

Anyhow, as a newbie, it's good you asked here first. A good practice so thank you. Hope other newbies will do the same (except shilling).
4573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: July 14, 2020, 11:11:24 PM
Sad to say but without any airings and commercials they are really losing huge amount of money, and it will continue since the league is yet to resume back.

As per the article I shared above, with or without enough revenue, once PBA comes back, they would rather not think of the financial aspect "at least for now".

What matters according to Marcial is, they will come back for the fans. Of course, it's impossible to just throw away money without expecting in return so what I'm seeing here is, they will continue the league, even shorthanded, to slowly get some revenue even how small it is to support their savings. As I also mentioned, big companies are backed to PBA so I'm sure they will contribute to some preparations if necessary.

PBA officials needs to take care of their employees with this pandemic virus every resources where the management can get funds to provide
and sustained the employees compensations needs to be in used.

Yes, and they did.
4574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: July 14, 2020, 10:37:41 PM
I think these people who can afford to go in a casino can also afford to pay for the cost, this is for the safety of people inside the casinos, so it doesn't matter if it's costly as stopping the casino operations just because a carrier has entered the place and infected the people inside is even more costly.

A simple statement. If only it's easy to do as it says.

For a gambler's mindset, why should they undergo a swab test just for the purpose to enter the casino? If I'm a gambler I'd rather find other casinos with no restrictions like that unless I'm a die-hard player of the said casino. It's no different from other establishments wherein there is no need for a test.

Again, I'm with the idea but I will give a 0% chance for that to be implemented or even considered.
4575  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Mindful of scammers and hackers on: July 14, 2020, 10:17:36 PM
Please, I want to ask  question
1. How can we fully avoid scam in such a way not only us we not be affected but people around us too?
2. What can we do to let people in the whole world know about scam and avoid?

1. Experience and common sense, at least.

2. As much as possible, try to spread awareness. That's the only thing we can do since people have different thinking. Sometimes, even an experienced one and knows the risk still falling on the trap. Their reason? Taking chances.

If you care for others, especially at people around you, don't stop educating them about these scams. That scheme won't stop but at least it will minimize.
4576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: July 14, 2020, 08:45:59 PM
I wonder how they'll get more revenue in paid to watch the live game in the television without the abs-cbn sports channel right now. Is there any other channel network that operate a sports channel?(not familiarize to all tv channels as I'm not often using it).

TV5 (ABC5) is the one that has the right to broadcast PBA games for over a decade now. Their sports branch Sports5 covers it.

They also have a live stream on their Youtube channel.

I didn't know it was now named "One Sports" just March this year. I have known them as "ESPN5" and "Sports5".
4577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which website do you usually go to get your news and casino reviews? on: July 14, 2020, 08:25:16 PM
I mainly use Best Bitcoin Casino, Crypto Gambling News, and of course here,
but are there any other sites that you guys recommend?

It's not that you want to see all feeds from all gambling sites. Honestly, it's not necessary.

Sometimes while reading all the news feeds, there might be a chance you will end up on a new site that doesn't have any positive reviews yet.

I suggest sticking with the portal of your preferred gambling sites either from their ANN thread here in the forum, Social media group, messaging group, etc.
4578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think online casinos can effectively prevent underage gambling? on: July 14, 2020, 08:10:19 PM
If parents are truly concerned about this...

Did you as a child want to tell your parents about everything you were doing when you were that age - your first kiss, smoke, drink, drugs - whatever it was there was always something you kept from your parents.  Youth today have a mobile phone from their early teens (sometimes younger) they'll get and share apps with their friends at school, so you have no way of knowing whether or not they are chatting, gambling or anything else with strangers online.  Online safety begins at home, yes Casino's (if they are registered in a jurisdiction) will have an obligation to put up warnings, but can't be expected to do the parents job for them.

We have the same thought. The picture I'm trying to say is, things like gambling is unavoidable. Just look at how that kid performs a crypto transaction coming from a crypto-wallet to the gambling site and withdraw it back. That kid has the knowledge and maybe there are other things that his parents don't know.

Now for the part wherein if parents are concerned about that, it depends on the family. There are families that talked about that, some didn't, like in my case. My parents didn't know my gambling stuff during my young days. I just answered the question "How can we make sure that kids are not exposed to gambling at a very early stage" in general. The question that doesn't have a definitive answer.
4579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Las Vegas Casinos are open - end of the Pandemic era. on: July 14, 2020, 07:48:00 PM
They should limit too the number of players inside the casino and requires every player to undergo swab test before they enter the casino. Simply no clear test result equals no entry.

The number of allowed people is surely implemented but I don't think to have the tests result as a requirement will be imposed. Not all people are encouraged to undergo the Swab test unless they feel the symptoms, to save supplies and cost. And for the cost, people are the ones paying for it so I doubt they will undergo that just for the purpose to play on casinos.

I'm with that idea honestly to ensure every gambler is cleared from the virus. However, that kind of requirement might discourage gamblers to play there since it's too much for a hassle especially on a healthy person. But hopefully, it will be considered for the sake of all people there, not just for gamblers, but for casino staff as well.
4580  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can Signal Trading work for Cryptocurrencies on: July 14, 2020, 07:25:07 PM
.. why people will share their signals if they can benefit from it, why keeping it own for they are also in trading.

The benefit is the paid subscription.

That's the reason why those pretenders share their signals that claimed to be "profitable".

Sometimes, it's good that even just for once, people experience being caught up in a trap of these pretenders to learn the lesson. Even there are lots of warnings and some understand the risks, there are still people who want to test the waters of buying a trading signal.
