    That's not what I said. I said nothing about the rewards and I specifically said that the non-raid content offers zero challenge. Like, it's actually a chore, because there's no stakes and no chance of failure. One of the main problems with leveling to 50. It's like playing a game with god-mode...

    On my main account my Scout is GS 1417, and I have 7 chars that are 1325 to 1340 GS, and my gunslinger that is like level 35. Getting from 1340 to 1415 is hella expensive (another issue, but I digress :P) and 1340 is the minimum to enter the most recent continent, South Bern. The current catchup...

    Like I've said, I barely play it. I put in minimal effort to earn gold, and level up a new class if I like it. I'm leveling a gunslinger, like 5 levels a week, and I used a free boost on Sorc. And I'm always watching a tv show/movie on my second monitor, because outside of raids, nothing really...

    The core of the problem with the raid design is (other than plain laziness) the lack of options. The combat in LA, while fun, visceral and pretty, is rather simplistic. You have (usually) your 8 abilities, your ult, your special and your dash. So, combat consists of using your attack abilities...

    Kinda funny when you think about it. Since both the first Western (UO) and Korean (Lineage) MMOs were isometric. (To the peanut gallery: No, I don't want to argue about multiplayer rpgs that released earlier. Thanks, though.) Edit: @Brahma There's a free Trision Pass (boost) reward for the...

    Imagine if in GoT the Starks had been black. Would it have been as popular? Hell, if it released now not only would they have been black, but the Lannisters would have been middle-eastern and the Targaryens mexican.

    Clicking is not necessary, you should be holding LMB. You move/attack in the direction of your cursor. And if you're trying to avoid a boss ability you usually aren't just running, you are using dash or an ability with movement.

    Except, when someone else fucks up 1 thing it wipes the whole group/raid. It gets really irritating doing those 20 steps perfectly and wiping a dozen times because of someone else, and then finally everyone gets it right and you fuck it up this time, because you're bored and irritated and you...

    I said "that wasn't the premise" not "that isn't." And the raids you're so in love with are the tiniest part of the changes they made to the game in the big Season 2 update. The vast majority of changes had to do with streamlining, accessibility, QoL, removing grinds, and dropping those dumb...

    Well, it varies depending on the game/activity, but what I consider skill doesn't involve just being able to jump through numbered hoops. I can read and execute the instructions on a box of mac and cheese perfectly, that doesn't mean I'm a skilled chef. For me, skill is more about knowing your...

    That wasn't the premise of the fucking game, you silly dimwit. I already told you I've played the game for 2 years, over several iterations. They've made HUGE, SWEEPING changes to the game several times, the most notable being the Season 2 update. The raids don't require skill, they require...

    It actually gets worse. Sounds like you're talking mostly about Guardian raids. The no tells/no hp bar/super fast attacks (with high ping you have to learn their moves and kinda dodge preemptively). Those do get worse, and the last boss of each tier will start having one shot abilities and...

    It's not the "difficulty" of the raids, I enjoy difficult content. It's the stupid crazy jump-through-these-hoops mechanics, or raidwipe. Which they specifically admit in those notes. "Wants to develop events/content that is geared towards fun and less hardcore than just endgame raids...

    No, never heard of em. I'm 9. I wasn't actually playing MUDs when Bartle wrote that article. /s I would argue that most of the players in FF who play those minigames are doing them for the rewards, and not because they are particularly fun (except triple triad) but, there's no way for either of...

    Who said it was a complaint? That's just your dumbass assumption. And not being original and being a direct copy/paste are two different things. Maybe the point of my post was to show that the makers of the show actually do have the ability to copy something exactly without changing anything. Or...

    Except it's not about that. LA already limits how much time you can actually spend playing the game. Which, of course, is extended by alts, but now they want to put some limits on that as well. If these new activities offer decent rewards (like currency, or upgrade mats) then they'll be just as...

    That said, showrunner Rafe Judkins was quick to point out to Decider that they wanted everything Tigraine did to not look like magic. “We just felt like there’s something so iconic about this pregnant Aiel woman fighting off a group of men,” Judkins told Decider this week. “Just seeing her when...

    So, I'm rewatching season 1 of The Witcher. I know we've talked about the budget before, but fuck. The Witcher has the same damn budget and same amount of episodes, and even ep 1 shits all over all 6 of WoT's we've got so far. Casting (actually attractive people, who can act) sets, costumes...

    Thanks for defending garbage writing by explaining shit to me like I've never read the books, all evidence to the contrary. Good job. The actual POINT I'm making is not about the specifics of how it could fit into the lore. It's about adding useless dialogue about shit that didn't happen in the...

    What's best is when dumb shit they make up contradicts other dumb shit they make up. Such as the young Siuan scene (that we didn't need). Nynaeve's story about the former Wisdom getting turned away from the White Tower because "she too poor" makes zero sense (was already stupid) when Siuan...

    It was hardly a relationship. More along the line of college experimentation, and add the fact that it's an all girl college. In the books they are just friends, plus Moraine ends up with Thom and Siuan has a thing with Gareth Bryne. The only reason they are lovers in the show is because the...
