  1. I want to know your opinion, do you think pimd is more of a battle game or is it just a social app? I have believed for a while that this is more of a battle app but I no longer believe that this is true. When I used to volley players, I had a hard time convincing them why they should continue playing the game which is why I quit volleying. I don't think the battle system is that great and I also don't think that near as many people use this as a battle app as a social app. I'm not saying that I support this, I am saying that this is what I believe is the case. Every day I see multiple people posting forum topics regarding chatting and there's always people that say "This isn't a dating app!" That single sentence is used multiple times a day and everyone in the community always agrees with that person because it is a socially acceptable and politically correct thing to say. Is that true, though? We may want it to be true that this isn't a dating app but just look at campus and leave that up to you decide. What do you guys think about this app's intentions and the state of the app?
     
  2. Umm social app?
     
  3. It's both, you can socialize with people while you battle with other.... It's an mmorpg
     
  4. First of all, just about any online game with public chat channels is somewhat of a social app in one way or another. Maybe that's not the primary genre of the game, but it's one. I don't think it's really a battle app at all anymore... I don't think it's mainly either, I think it's a RP game. You're playing the role of whatever your avatar is I guess... And for some reason he owns dozens of dorms filled with other people 
     
  5. Blockey true!

    Spic: I agree it is most definitively both. This question asks which one is it more, for that reason.
     
  6. Social! It is for me, at least 
     
  7. Ok my question did not explicitly ask which one is pimd more like but let's try to shift it towards where you pick one or the other because it is most certainly both. My fault on the wording.
     
  8. Then if you put it that way it's more social but it all depends on who is playing
     
  9. To me it's more social. I battle every now and then, but socialize a Lot more. M
     
  10.  Umm I would say battle because I just don't talk to ppl a lot especially on pm don't really MSG ppl
     
  11. Oh damn... i read like the title and thats about it.

    I think its a mixture of both game and social app. 
     
  12. Its a virtual you guys.. .-.
     
  13. It's mainly a battle game, if mainly social then why is there so many rules? Most social apps do not have rules, rules are here to protect the innocents of people from the possible pedos and creeps out their as well as prevent players using this in the wrong way, which is hard to do since so many players do use it wrongly.

  14. I have always been confused as to why the developers continuously promote sexually suggestive themes and then restrict any sexually suggestive words and communication among members. If they are going to heavily enforce silences vs sexual behavior, then it doesn't make any sense at all for ATA to promote it. I do most certainly agree that these rules make the app less social but I can be confused with ATA's intentions for the app when there seems to be conflicting or contradictory themes and rules in the game.
     
  15. Yep, and they even have a ad for a dating site at the bottom of the nurse page, the avatars have naughty status and so on, it needs to be toned down, but yet again it doesn't mean that players need to go on about how they want these sexually chats all the time when this is a battle game not sex ed game.
