    Lost Ark Online

    Lost Ark doesn't really have a meta. It's just that classes play so differently, and a new class can come out that you like playing way better than your current main. For instance, when RU launched, of the classes available, I liked Devil Hunter most. Later on Blade was released and I liked that...

    While classes tend to be slightly OP when first released, and some classes are more popular than others, all are equally viable. It's more a matter of finding the playstyle you like. Popularity isn't a great metric either, since switching mains or getting a second class up to the power level of...

    Endgame is pretty much a lobby game. While the world looks great, the zones are kinda small and very...static? At max level you only go back for quick dailies and gathering crafting mats. About 4% of the mobs in a zone are quest objectives, the rest only exist to annoy (interrupt) you while...

    To be fair, LA's story is pretty decent in comparison to other Korean games. Beatrice (the only "angel" who still has both her wings) sends you on a quest to recover all the shards of the Ark, which are on the various continents, and each continent has its own story that you get involved in...

    Personally, I think it's a waste of time/money and wish they (and other games) would just translate text and leave the Korean voices. On the other hand, I do like when (quality) voice actors get more work. Edit: There's the added bonus that you can't really skip voiced quest dialogue. It keeps...

    I think it mostly depends on where they are at with the translations, but if that's on track we'll probably hear something when NW's peak player count hits the 150k -200k range. They mentioned the dwarves in one of their updates, which is the continent after Rohendel (North...

    Limiting so much of your casting pool to black or black female (minorities) also limits the quality/skill of acting. It's been getting really annoying. Part of the reason I've been watching/rewatching older shows.

    No one said the cash shop was a problem. In fact, just a few posts ago I flat out said that it wasn't.

    It's about how this affects people who buy Blue Crystals from other players with gold. As I already mentioned, BCs are used for things like extra warehouse space, more gear loadouts, and things of that nature, as well as the rented pet benefits, which are now moved over to the Aura, which sucks...

    I'm sorry, dude, but you're delusional. Nothing about these changes is positive for the players. It's simple math. LA is already not p2w, it's pay-to-progress-faster, period. Nothing they are doing changes that. The friggin cash shop is just cosmetics, blue crystals and upgrade mats. That's it...

    All of that is just a smokescreen. The true purpose of these changes is to generate more income. By funneling all player to player sales of cash shop items through Blue Crystals, it allows them to tax every transaction. The way it is now (in other regions) Blues are taxed, but all the other...

    Yeah, if they didn't loot by default hardly anyone would buy them. You spam "G" enough skipping quests text (one line at a time!), spamming it to loot as well is a pita. They give the epic/purple ones away fairly often for events/login rewards. I have like 4 or 5 now. The legendary ones (cash...

    Looting is a pet's primary purpose, so no, it's not new. Originally, they autoloot, let you access your warehouse/repair from anywhere and have 2 random buffs, that can be rerolled with blue crystals. The last two require (seperate) monthly payment of blue crystals to activate. One of the...

    The Aura isn't worth the price, even with moving the pet benefits over to it. It's obvious they're trying to make it seem that way though. With selling Aura for Blues it looks like they're trying to emulate Archeage/WoW and have the whales pay the "subs" of the free players. And, as I said, this...

    I hate to break it to you, but this is all snake-oil salesman bullshit. To ensure all purchases in-game feel optional, it is important players have a path to acquire all items in our in-game store without having to make a purchase. Most items are available with Crystals which can be earned by...

    Since Amazon is just the publisher, and the game has been out in KR for like 3 years, it doesn't really matter. Most CM's are a waste of space anyway.

    Cuz they're Asian. And, to make matters worse, they love to give these types of shitty costumes away for free all the time. At least in RU. And I hate the fact that the colors and textures clash horribly with the world and armors. Ya know, the whole point behind art direction. Cash shop...

    Free QA for their translations, and to keep the hype train going, since someone forgot to tell them they derailed it already.

    While releasing LA first would have been the smart move, and would likely have made a decent amount which would help offset delaying NW another 6-12 months, I seriously doubt it will make more than NW. NW gets minimum $40 from every single player (and will, I assume, charge for expansions), LA...

    No, it isn't. But, a collection of tribes can be a nation. Words mean what they mean and misuse does not change their meaning. I have no desire to continue arguing semantics, or linguistics.

    Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021)

    The only thing that really (for me) makes the RE movies enjoyable is Alice's over the top combat skills. From the trailer, this looks pretty fucking basic and not interesting at all. And really? The guy munching on a corpse and slowly looking back over his shoulder (from the first game)? Yawn.
