    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    1) How different is it really? You have some newer skills that you get at a lower lvl that speeds up the process. Other than that, its basically the exact same. 2) The content is not anymore difficult than it used to be, and in fact is probably easier due to the newer skills added at the...

    I had never seen rates jump in rent like they did during Covid. We went from $1100, to $1360, to $1700, to $2,200 in rent since 2019. Once rent went from $1700 to 2200, we decided to say fuck it and bought a home. Was it a good decision...no clue. But I'll be damned if I'm going to be at the...

    Holding through earnings is straight up gambling. There are times that stocks double beat and the stock plummets, there are times they double miss and stock shoots through the roof...and every variation in between.

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Do yall see any longevity to this type of game play? I am not really a fan of seasonal type gaming, and really only familiar with it on the arpg front..ie..D3. Very curious to what type of lasting power this has in an mmo, as I am not sure it's been done before.

    Houses also were not an average of $300k+ either. I would have been more than happy to have bought a nice starter home in the $100k range, but they dont exist anymore. Hallmark, Lennar, Arbor, Ryan etc all build the cookie cutter new builds in the area, and even a 1,500 sqft home is averaging...

    There is going to be an entire generation stuck with 6% - 8%+ rates and it has nothing to do with their financial acuity, it was simply when they entered the market. We can sit here and think they are idiots for buying at those rates, but it's also possible the rates continue to go up and in a...

    I thought Id fire this up and see if I could enjoy wow again, and now I am slain by the log in monster. I know my account name, and I know my pwd. Everytime I try to log in it asks for some capcha to copy, and I cant get passed it...everytime it says it cant verify me lol.

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Any particular reason that alliance almost always outnumbers the horde? I played vanilla back in the day and I wanted horde, but found most people were alliance. Still seems to be the case now it seems? I don't give 2 shits about world pvp, as it's always an outnumber gank fest anyways and...

    People have rapidly run out of options. It's not always as simple as just " move somewhere else ". The particular area that I live around in Indiana has seen an explosion in prices. There are really no homes to be had sub $300k, and if you want to rent....there goes about $2k a month...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I believe there is a market. I, however, do not believe there is large enough market to justify the risk of making such a game. From a player perspective, it's always great to have options of what to play. From the perspective of someone that is responsible for financing the development of...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I was enjoying the game until I stopped getting the option to play. I enjoyed the story up until the point every single quest had atleast 2 cutscenes. I went from getting 22k exp per quest pre Ultimate weapon. To 2k per quest as well. So it felt like there was zero progression

    See, and maybe this is what the game isnt good at explaining. Everyone says you have to do the MSQ to unlock stuff. Im 55 and have not heard a single word about any of those events or activities you mention. I get to a point in the MSQ and it gives me a new boss to kill ( Ramuh ) I think was...

    I think I am going to hang up my FF14 hat. Made it to 55 now, so I feel I have a solid grasp of the game at this point. My frustration comes in because it's gone from a game experience, to an anime experience. I'm at a point to where it goes from....talk to npc, 5 min cut scene....port to next...

    At what point do you start running into people in the adventure zones? I have made it to level 52 now, and do not think I've seen a single word uttered across any zone I've been to in 65+ hrs. Is this basically a lobby game at this point of its life, kinda like how..I think it was wotlk...that...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I certainly can't say that I was very disappointed in the title. I grew up with D1 and D2, really enjoyed and had fun with D3.....it was really hard to imagine D4 would be such a dumpster fire. I didn't mind the graphics and sound, even though I still think 3 is better in that dept, but the...

    Never played this, and thinking of giving it a go. What server is recommended for filthy casual like myself? I downloaded it and go to lvl 7 I think. 1 million tools sitting at some crystal, but not a word being spoken or any chars moving. Went to the first zone and didn't see a soul or any...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I don't mind the mini game to pick the locks, however I have been massively disappointed in the loot behind the locks. A majority of the time it's less random loot that spawns in a typical cut / paste room. I don't think I have ever picked even a master lock with like 11 to 12 different...

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. Texas didn't break Bama and Saban. Something had to have happened for Milroe to go from 1st string to not even getting a shot in the USF game. Not a single Bama fan I know wanted Rees or his QB. For all the praise that Alabama gets for its OL size...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I think it was / is mostly people's expectations of what they thought the game was. I've learned not to follow any hype or development of any game. In the past, I'd search for any nugget of info about a game and hype myself up for it, only to feel let down when my own expectations were not...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I can say that I am enjoying the game very much. I typically get bored of single player games fairly quickly and don't think I've completed a single one in the past 2 generations of systems. This is the first one that has me hooked in a long time. I tried No Man Sky and couldn't stand it...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I hadn't played WoW much since Wrath. Think I lvled once through Cata, and then once through MoP, but had no desire to raid there. Having said that, I figured I'd give hardcore a run and it's been really entertaining. Everything matters here, one wrong slip up up and /rip you go. This...

    People are / were buying new construction because that is all they could get. I'll put my finances out there. Rent raised from 1300 to 2200..so we started looking for a home. There is no guarantee that rent didn't keep exploding, so we had no choice. My budget range was about 200k for a...

    I don't know how accurate this info is, but there is a gentleman that purchased 4 houses near us who said he raised all the rents because the govt raised their subsidized rates. According to him, quite a few of his tenants qualify for some sort of govt program and they now guarantee roughly...

    I feel like some people figured they had no choice at this time. The nature of my job and trying to progress upwards meant, in theory, that renting was the best option. However, the rent on the home we were living in went from $1300 to $2200 over the course of 2 years...and the entire area...

    Steam deck portable handheld gaming PC from Valve

    Well, bought a Rog Ally. Very frustrating experience so far and a SD is not even a concern. Downloaded Everspace 2. In the tutorial you have to do a barrel roll. The combinations of button presses do not correlate with any buttons on the screen, so stuck there. Downloaded Last Epoch. Get...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    This is certainly the fastest I've ever lost interest in an arpg. Can't believe how boring the game gets so quickly. There is no way in remote hell I would want to replay the entire game again for a different season. Playing through once was ok for what it was, but it just boils down to the...

    So I dont know much about either of these machines. The smaller screen is hard for me to enjoy most games these days, as I am spoiled with large screens and surround sound. However, I think I wouldnt mind playing MAME emulated games, as well as a few from the PS2-PS3 era...mainly NBA Street...

    So as far as classic goes, do you prefer Classic or Wrath Classic? I stopped playing during Cata, so figure I might give this a run until the next set of games come out that I want to play.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I really felt that impact on Last Epoch. Even though it had zero multi-player at the time, there was the ability for global chat. The game seemed alive with it, and I didn't really realize how much of an impact it made until it was disabled for a few weeks for a fix.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    For a seasonal game, sure sounds like almost zero reason to even play the season. Am I to assume that the codex powers do transfer over for the eternal and following season tools? I sure see no incentive to eve play S1.

    Lost Ark Online

    This is what matters the most. While Lost Ark was one of my top games I was looking forward to, I ended up disliking almost everything about it except the combat. If you are having fun with it, that's all that counts. I wish I could find a title that I could stick with for awhile, but almost...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    At the end of the day, even for a filthy casual as myself, the game starts going rapidly downhill after the campaign finishes. 1-50 I felt was fairly solid and then 50 - 70 you could see progress. Everything post 70 is not fun at all since you hardly ever get excited to see a drop. 70-100 (...
