    2025 Asshat Contest Ride, Roast, and Last Minute Campaigning Thread

    This is why I didn't realize the full scope of the finalists. I will need Ut to explain it to me on the next Drunken gaming Weekend.

    nirgon vs. Araysar- What a weird year; Araysar's long term plan of antagonizing large blocs of the forum finally comes to fruition. Sanrith providing Maximus entertainment for this year's competition.

    2025 AssHat Voting FINAL FOUR!!!

    Araysar vs. wellijustdontknow- The one who wants vs. the "reluctant" Winner, who goes hard in the paint and insults Americans. Sorry, WIJDK; end of the pun line. If you really wanted it, you would campaign in this thread itself like Big A. He's back to wear the Hat. nirgon vs. Tasty the Treat...

    Last Epoch

    It would be interesting to see either way. It's a shame because the game was fun and one of the best before the wheel stopped, seemingly nothing progressed, and they are getting pilloried for charging for things they said they wouldn't.

    2025 AssHat Voting Round 4!!

    I won't vote for any of the three of you. Booze, Band, and Hoss may be someone's Asshats but you guys will always be OG's to me.

    2025 AssHat Voting Round 4!!

    He already fell out of the Asshat Long March in Round 2 but being "fucking retarded" is pretty much a requirement for FOH.

    2025 AssHat Voting Round 4!!

    In fairness to LD, this year isn't exactly a bumper crop for Asshats. I don't think anyone really cares, you would still get the blame like you were an astrophysicist and this was star math. Appreciate you do the best you can in a tough role, though. I don't think anyone ever says thanks and...

    Ashes of Creation

    The whole point of my posts is that the entire economy (crafting/gathering/loot/currency) needed to be completely revamped from the ground up to work, otherwise you end up with what you had in New World: A dead, end-stage, bottomed out economy where only a very few things (BIS drops, some crafts...

    Ashes of Creation

    This is a First Mover issue caused by a lack of obsolesce; Imagine if every car ever made was still running and there was no way to make improvements past a certain point. The first company to make the best would dominate and there would be almost no incentive to for others level up past a...

    2025 AssHat Voting Round 3!!

    Cayennechap vs. Luc1fer- If someone is going to demand to be included, well, I just don't know how I'd feel about not giving them for what they'd asked. Is that a bowling ball you got there, son?

    Ashes of Creation

    Why there haven't been more people who want PVP-centric games copying Eve systems I will never understand. New World's primary failure is implementing their emphasis on crafting and gathering and not copying major facets of their economy. It's not a 1:1 translation re: control but from a PvP...

    The Outer Worlds

    One of the tips that helped me out a bunch was to switch to DPS vs damage; its a much better evaluator of guns vs. straight dmg. All of those guns on Eden are meant to be dropped almost as soon as you get to Praetor, leveling gun included. Nothing is even close to mid-game Plasma Pistol...

    Guild Wars 2

    I say this Constantly and everywhere: Launch GW2 is my favorite MMO of all time: The Graphics, the characters, the starting cities and backstories, the public quests, every tier of leveling, every area of the world, it was chefs kiss amazing and great. I had three played all the way through...
