Ohhhh, that makes more sense. Thank you for clarifying.

I wish you guys the best; I do believe I saw a rule somewhere that requires official parkour clubs to keep a 90% like-to-dislike ratio. Hopefully you guys are able to rebound...

Well, this comment aged poorly... It's deeply saddening to see yet another way for people to get the supposedly-exclusive "Rubberized Rounds" augment, especially considering it was told that it'd never come back again, or at least for a long period of time. Adding it to Ultra Containers was plenty disturbing, but at least with that it required some luck to receive it, now anyone can receive the augment by just playing the game (and buying the Battle Pass of course). What will we see next? Electromagnetic Salvo being added to a Battle Pass? I deeply regret spending money on not one but two of my accounts to receive that augment, when it will likely be added to a challenge just as Rubberized Rounds was.

My back hurts from carrying the whole team...

This challenge is right up my alley ? I'll let someone else take the prize though, I don't need the rewards and it'd be too easy ?

Congrats @Vovanu FTL Control

At long last... New Video:

Yes, that's always a possible option (as GG_reg did with me after I enraged him by uploading a video about him), but some people aren't as quick to utilize their power in this way due to the ethics behind it, and I know Person_Random wouldn't do it because I know her morals from working with her. Besides that, what if certain individuals that criticized her work aren't participating in contests? Always got to account for that possibility... ?

That would probably satisfy people criticizing Person_Random though ? Maybe keeping it alive and well would be the best way of spiting such people, showing them that their opinions don't matter

Yep, same thing happened to me. Back when I first became a Helper, I had some similarly unwelcoming experiences, unsurprisingly all of them were with eSports Players turned eSports Helpers. I'm sorry I don't know everything about eSports because I don't only work/play in that environment, but does that make it okay to call me degrading names? And what's great is I reported such scenarios and people got off with a simple warning, even though such people were addressed in the past for similar circumstances and were made aware that repeated offenses would lead to disciplinary actions being taken...

Bingo, you hit the nail right on the head with that one. I could recount several examples from my time in the Helper community, but I know my post will be hidden at that point, so I'll just leave it open for interpretation. All I'll say is people are excellent at masking and hiding their true thoughts and emotions under a cloak of passive aggression...

Person_Random hinted in a post earlier in this topic (whether it has since been hidden or not, I do not know) that maybe eSports Players aren't the only people that are criticizing her work and affecting her morale, the others just weren't ever named (probably for a good reason). Maybe such people that she was indirectly referring to are people who's opinions are more valuable than just people that address anything they please (a.k.a eSports Players), or are people that she has to listen to... ?

I'm sorry, but people can't just let everything go through their mind without getting upset at times. Sure, some people might have higher tolerances for criticism and stuff like that than others, but you're lying to yourself if you disagree with my points (and in doing so, are indirectly saying that you never let other people's opinions of you affect your morale).

For those that don't experience criticism either at all or extremely infrequently, this piece gives a nice look into all the stress and anxiety negative comments can give. I urge everyone that read this piece to keep the thoughts expressed in the back of their mind, and when you're thinking about criticizing someone or something, think twice about the ways of which you're phrasing it; there's nothing wrong with sharing your opinion on something, just make sure you phrase it in a way that's not degrading to the person that's the recipient of the criticism.

Happy Easter all, God bless ?

Something that can’t be bought?! I think Tanki’s making a real breakthrough here! ?

I think I've found the opportunity I've been looking for!!! ?

My account is blocked for having an inappropriate nickname, but can anyone tell me what’s so inappropriate about it? My nickname is purely stating a fact about me, and it’s not saying other people suffer from a mental illness, it’s saying I suffer from it... To me, it seems I can’t freely talk about this part about me because it has a negative stigma amongst the game’s population (which played a part in my choosing my nickname, to end this stigma), but being that I’m doing so in a completely inoffensive manner, it doesn’t seem to warrant an account ban...

Regarding the recent post in the Parkour Club Announcements topic, while I do think that parkour club paints are not necessarily rare anymore (as you see huge numbers of members in parkour clubs, especially with FeatherLike and Fly To High), I don't see a true issue with this. Parkour club paints weren't originally created to be something rare, they were created to show that an individual is a member of a renowned parkour club, and that they themselves must also be a good contributor to the success of that club However, over time, as with Helper paints too, parkour club paints have become something regarded as a "flex," where you are not considered a well-known person in the parkour realm, or even just the game in general, if you don't possess one of these exclusive paints. In a sense, exclusive paints within the game have become the XTs of pre-2018 (where people with XTs had to purchase them for a hefty sum of crystals), in that you're part of a sort of "group" if you are lucky enough to have a special paint (or many) in your garage. It's unbelievable to see how many people are just finding ways of maximizing their chances at these special paints, and personally, if I'm being honest, special paints that you have to hold a specific position (whether it be being a part of a parkour club or specific Helper position) to receive should be done away with, as it only leads to ego-boosting, toxicity, and lack of meaning behind being a part of something specific and special in the game, from what I've personally seen. With this being said, I highly doubt such special paints (as outlined above) will be removed, so there must be some tweaks. Currently, way too many players in this game (and I'm not just talking about just parkourists here) have special paints, that not one of them can be considered rare. I so frequently see special paints nowadays in battles, I pretty much count on there being at least one individual per battle having a special paint or special protection module.

I think it’s in the best interest of the game if this update is an early practical joke for April Fool’s Day... My Discord server is now filled with messages mocking this update, and many of the people sending these messages are talking about leaving the game entirely now that they heard about this update...

This sounds like a good idea, highly effective for meeting new people. I would never link my Discord account to my Forum profile though, too many fans and enemies would be in my DMs ?

The sheer number of people that mocked me on Discord for thinking Revenge would win the whole tournament...Well, look what happened ? Yep, I expected them to make it the whole way, I was a bit surprised when they got sent to the Loser's Bracket, but they came back

Epic topic redesign, it looks awesome

Great article :)

Cheers to the memories :)
