There isn't much to do on PangYa these days. After I got my -38, I pretty much stopped playing. All I do these days is grind with Brazilians or push records when I play, since most of my friends don't log in too much anymore. Is it just me or is the first generation of chippers finally beginning to die out?
To be honest, I'm reluctant to rank up from Pro A. My friends have been waiting for me to move up from 256 for a long time, and I won't have an excuse to play it anymore when I hit National. Having 264 would be nice, but I don't want to leave 256. I've spent too much time researching it. (t.t)
Frankly, fuck pushing records. It kills my calipers too fast, and it takes the fun out of the game for me. Looking at how I'm almost burned out after only doing 5 or so tournaments for Pink Wind, I doubt I'll do that again anytime soon.
I met up with the leader of the Japan guild a week or so ago. However, she lives in Japan, so our time zones aren't really compatible. Besides logging on to practice Japanese with her, I spend a lot more of my time playing Dungeon Fighter Online.

Recent Thoughts & Hopes
I'm still pretty neutral towards what happens on PangYa US. (though, I obviously disagree with some of the decisions made) I've actually been pretty happy with the recent updates, starting with the Card Holic update. Cards for $1.80, only $0.30 more than the KR price, on a server with Time Boosters priced at $1.20 and Auto-Calipers at $3.00?! Are you kidding me?! I was shocked, along with quite a few of my friends. Around this time I was saying to them: "Maybe NTreev is finally turning things around?"
Gacha has high rates for its cost, honestly. Scratch Card rates seem to be near zero in comparison (for people with average luck). Ironically, I've had better luck with Scratch Cards than Gacha Coins.
People are wondering what the next Gacha rare will be. Some say Rune Fairy Wings. I don't really have an opinion on this. All I know is, I hope they release Rings in Gacha! Would be a perfect way to use that system, and they would get a lot of money from people trying to get a precious Crimson / Hybrid / Promise Ring. From what they're doing, it looks like Scratch Cards (besides Wedding Dresses, but that hardly counts since PangYa US is so flipping behind) is going to be for re-releasing old rares, and new rares will be in Gacha. That's my theory.
My selfish thought on the game's bugs is that they aren't a huge impact on the game... though I'm sure they are for quite a few people. Namely, that pesky Messenger bug. I've never crashed from it, and probably never will, but it seems people still do... They really need to put that to a higher priority than it is. We never have really been able to speak to our friends properly since that one update. I can't remember which update that is now since it has been so long!

Ventus
What the hell was the thought process for the current event(s)? We get the KR event, but with headsets replaced with feathers. If you're one of the one hundred people that win a papel rare, gee, I wonder what you get. The only good part of that is the 50 people that win Scratchy rares, but this is only good for those players that do not spend any money. Nearly everyone else has already spent money on the 2x Scratchy rates event, and gotten items!
Having three money saving events one right after another is a great way to get a lot of money at once, but probably not all that great in the long run... people will be out of money after these events and probably will not charge more for a while.
I'm beginning to wonder if feathers will ever leave our game, like they should have long ago, and actually be worth something. Will we always have some sort of event with feathers as the consolation prize? I sure hope not.

Luck
Latest rage is directed to the people that complain about spending a large amount of money on scratch cards / gacha / cardpacks and not winning anything. These two things are no different than real life gambling, really. Use your head, people. Plenty of people spend hundreds to thousands in actual gambling and come back empty handed. Such is the lottery; the odds are stacked against you.
I have a friend that embodies a motto of his from a few months ago: "It's all good." Though he is quite unlucky with his gambling, he continues, saying things to the effect of "It's all good, I'll just try again!" and refrains from complaining about his failures. I find this to be a quite mature outlook, and one that I follow myself. When I was a child, I used to complain about doing the simplest things. These days, I reluctantly do what needs to be done, not voicing my complaints.
To extend on this topic, I am also quite tired of the mindset some people have lately. People post threads complaining about their luck, which is perfectly fine, by the way; that's what forums are for. Sure, I disagree with the concept of complaining, but I can't deny people's freedom to speak. Anyway, people find these threads and feel the need to trump (read: post a worse situation) than the original poster's situation. For example, if someone posted a thread saying they wasted $50 on scratchy cards and received nothing, someone posts later saying something like "You think you've had it bad? I've wasted $100 on this and have gotten nothing!" What a childish, attention-garnering, annoying, and unnecessary response. You'd be better off posting nothing.
Naturally, I usually ignore such threads now.
In conclusion, get over it. If you aren't getting what you want, spend some more money and try again! Obviously, this is a very deluded response and can't just be followed out of the blue (for most people). That's the only option available for you, though.

Hello
Welcome to Reverants. With time and the motivation to do so, I'll be posting my latest combinations of random letters, numbers, and curse words here.
Let me introduce myself... just another college student that enjoys experiments in mathematics, otherwise known as PangYa, an online golf game. Most posts will be in reference to said game.
In terms of news, school started back up. So far I've actually enjoyed it, though it is a 45-50 minute round trip walking to and from school, which I can see getting sort of annoying. Oh, well. Exercise was never really part of my repertoire, so this is a nice change.
I scored -39 on Ice Spa the other day. It really could have been a few strokes better. I missed a HIO on Hole 16 by 0.56y, and was unable to 6I chip Eagle Hole 13. I did not take any pictures of how well I did. Usually when I score well, I smile for a second and forget about it; this is a case of that happening.
At this point in time I am not sure how often this blog will be updated, so it may die out at some random time. Until then, enjoy!
