    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Thanks, I pretty much play healers and tanks exclusively, so that should work out fine. I'll certainly be looking for a guild if I jump in too, so I'm please about the addition of AoCs.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    I've been interested in these TLP servers for awhile, but I was just too busy to play on them until this year. Question for you guys who have played n a few of these already. If I want to play at a kind of medium intensity will that work for these servers? I'm not interested in boxing, I only...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Not that I've seen. Definitely not available to preorder on PS4 or Steam unless something changed in the last couple of days.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Haven't really played EQ in many years. I know what Krono are, but how are people using it to pay for so many accounts without actually coming out of pocket? Is it just farm as much stuff as you can, sell it for plat, and then buy krono with the plat? Or is there something more subtle going on here?

    Which games did you enjoy/disliked most in 2018?

    I have a little bit of trouble remembering whether or not the games I liked were 2018 or 2017 games since I tend to buy them on sale a few months after release these days. Here's a few that I really enjoyed though: 1.) God of War 2.) Red Dead Redemption 2 (single player only so far) 3.)...

    Path of Exile

    Thanks James. That's what I was thinking the answer would be. I'll transition to the 5L tonight.

    Path of Exile

    So, I'm playing an arc totem build SSF. I move slowly through this game because I go full OCD on killing everything and picking up everything that makes it through my loot filter and vendoring it. I'm about halfway through Act 7 now. I'm currently using a Tabula Rasa, but I found a 5 link with...

    Path of Exile

    Which should be more viable for SSF this league, Molten Strike Jugg or Arc Totem Hierophant? I'd been looking at Hybrid's MS build, but I'm wondering if I'm really hurting myself if I can't count on a Grel's, helm enchant, or Dying Sun for additional projectiles.

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Man, GoW was great. I'd agree that it boils down to personal preference at that level. I loved both games, but I loved RDR a little bit more. That's most likely because I love westerns, we don't see very many games in that genre, almost all of the ones that do come out are sub-par, which results...

    Path of Exile

    Honestly, I like the aesthetic more than D3, but for the first several acts everything is intended to look like you dragged it out of the dump. this is probably my favorite game ever, but I would have happily paid a full box price, plus full price for a few expansions to have all the skins be...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I'm level 32 now and just finished all the points of interest in Athens (just the city, I still have to explore the region). I'm pretty evenly split between assassination and warrior trees and have nothing in hunter. I pretty much mow through everything, but I'm going to start playing with the...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    I didn't dislike Origins, but this is an improvement in every way. That said I'm about 42 hours in now and I'm starting to get burnt out. I'll probably take a big break when the new POE league drops next Friday and then come back to it after a few weeks. In the meantime I'll slow it down. I...

    Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Greece)

    Yeah, I picked it up on Friday. I was sick this weekend, so I managed to put in a little over 20 hours since purchasing it. I like it a lot. Not as good as RDR2 imo, but the best the AC series has been since Black Flag and Ezio, and the best the combat has ever been. It's amazing how much...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    I wouldn’t do that before Cyberpunk 2077

    Battle Brothers

    I'm going to wait for the expansion to hit in 2 weeks. Then I'll dump some more hours into it. I love this game.

    Battle Brothers

    Resurrecting this thread to point out that there's an expansion coming out for this in a couple of weeks. I really liked this game a lot. Feels to me like it's made to be played on iron man. Can't recommend it enough. Lots of fun building up my mercenary company just to watch all unravel...

    Path of Exile

    I'm really excited for this league. My only complaints in POE had to do with Masters and their hideouts. This is exactly what I would have hoped they would do with the new system. Definitely my favorite ARPG of all time.

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    I haven't played No Man's Sky, but that is the the basic idea of what I'm thinking about. The devil is in the details though, so the success is dependent on the quality of the implementation. Ultimately I think you give up the uniqueness in favor of variety and quantity, which should yield...

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    You know, I think the procedural thing might be exactly what the industry needs if it can be done well. A lot of the early games featuring procedural content really felt terrible, but I think the teams and tech are sophisticated enough now to make this work with a real budget. In fact, it could...

    God of War (2018)

    Spiderman is a great game. I liked HZD, but never could finish it. Tried twice, but lost motivation about halfway through each time. i think Dandai's point about getting distracted from the main story by side objectives may be my problem. I really enjoyed the story, but the side quests started...

    God of War (2018)

    In my mind God of War and Witcher 3 are the best games of this generation so far. I expect RDR 2 to be better than both, but until next week those are my favorites. Spider Man is great, I really like it, but God of War is significantly better in my opinion.

    Warframe

    You'll need platinum to buy slots for additional warframes and weapons. I also tend to use it to purchase the orokin catalyts (I think that's what they are) for doubling mod capacity for war frames I really like. All of these things are pretty cheap at like 10-20 plat per item or slot.

    Yeah, I can't imagine that Tencent would overlook that possibility when structuring the deal.

    Path of Exile

    I've also only purchased stash tabs, but I was OK with it because I've spent a grand total of $60 on the game over the years and put in over 500 hours. It was totally reasonable to give them $60. I don't think the tencent acquisition changes anything for me yet. I'll wait and see how it shakes...

    Path of Exile

    Thanks. I move pretty slow honestly. i don't care about rushing maps or rushing anything. I'm really looking for a build that I can take all the way through, so I'd like something that can kill the bosses, even if it's not efficient. I've looked at Mathil's builds before and they are great, but...

    Path of Exile

    Any suggestions on a good SSF starter build for this league? I've played both Cyclone and Flameburst totems in the past and really liked both. I tried a necromancer last time and found it to be boring though. I've been thinking about both Essence Drain and Scorching Ray, but am open to...

    Stellaris

    Thanks guys. I definitely noticed the reviews for the lack of a chinese localization too. I was just interested in the opinions of the folks here. This helps a lot. I may hold off a while to see if they wind up making some additional changes that smooth things over before purchasing.

    Stellaris

    So I've had this on my wish list for a long time and it's on sale this weekend on Steam. Lots of negative reviews related to the 2.0 patch now though, so I'm wondering what you guys think. I tend to really enjoy Paradox grand strategy games like CK and EU. Is this still a buy, or did they screw...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I just started a character on NA PC. We'll see how long I stick with it. Going to be super casual most likely. Playing a Redguard Nightblade. I think I'm level 8.

    Monster Hunter: World

    That's good information. I'll work on the events this weekend then I guess. I won't be able to access the highest level ones because my HR is still locked, but I think I can get to all but 4 of them. i may have to give HBG a try too at some point.

    Monster Hunter: World

    I've been playing this solo for a while now, but slowly. I like it a lot, but I should probably start grouping up to keep it interesting. Currently HR 13 and need to do the Nergigante quest next in the story line. I do have a couple of questions for those of you who have been playing a little...

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    Ok, I kind of figured at some point we would come back to whatever is going on in your life as an example for why this line of thinking is reasonable. There are a couple of issues here: First, I don't know your situation, but I would support my tax dollars giving you a hand to get your life in...

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    Is it worth pointing out that the very definition of "needing help" means it's not something you can do on your own? I mean, I get that your point is that they should pay for it themselves, and that some people probably can do that, but I'm always amazed at the fervor that accompanies this line...

    Gaming addiction to be added to DSM!?

    I'm pretty financially conservative, but I would gladly accept an increase in my insurance rates if I thought it would get people with addiction problems the help they need to get back on a productive path. Before you attribute this solely to my good nature, let me point out that the cost to tax...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I just can't imagine this being successful for more than a few months unless they do it as a progression server (in which case I think it would be wildly successful). One of my biggest problems with WoW is that the release of content was always too slow to keep me playing from one content patch...

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    Yeah, I get that, but the EE adds no new content. Any changes they made are more engine and tool set related, so I don't see how any SJW nonsense could be introduced. if they release new modules I would definitely wait to see the community's review of them before purchasing them. Tile sets and...

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    I understand the skepticism regarding custom content, but I think it depends what form it takes. It hasn't all been modules. They've talked about tile sets, customization to allow easier access to additional races and classes. Anything that expands the toolkit available to the community would be...

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    Just wanted to say I picked this up over the weekend. Beamdog is doing an early access thing that they are calling a "head start". At this point I'm just playing through official stuff again, but it seems to work great so far. The first NWN was always one of my favorite games, so I'm definitely...

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    I loved NWN. If the enhanced edition will allow me to use the old community created content too then I am probably in. If it will only allow access to the official content then never mind.
