    I learned yesterday that transphobia is not the preferred term as it's ableist against people with actual phobias and frames 'systemic oppression' as simply an irrational fear. Tune in tomorrow for more "Tales from the Purity Spiral"!

    World is pretty interesting and I'm liking some of the reveals, but there are few things that are wtf. The world feels very PG with all of the NPCs being reasonably friendly and kind, but then there are letters that are a bit darker. Also the game sort of went from washed up nobody ship crewman...

    Game would be a better game if there were pvp servers or they kept forced pvp. Not for me, but a better game for the people who will still be playing in a month.

    Resource refining is painful enough without the goofy catalysts. I want to run around collecting logs, not opening chests. Also half the food mats come out of chests instead of harvest nodes. If you don't pvp, there isn't going to be enough 'other' things to do while you painfully slog out...

    On our server green is permanently branded as sweaty exploiters for having 60s first and pushing zones into war when the influence scaling wasn't well understood. On other servers, it's Cov taking the heat. Even after they came out and said it was intentional, the damage was done. Luckily the...

    Best part about hatchet is the berserk heal and run speed. Half the time you won't even need to eat. Re: Spear, I only have been keeping up on war stuff, but basically people said that everything it does can be done better with other weapons. Meta coming out of beta is basically a lot of life...

    I ran the second dungeon under the shattered obelisk with Daidraco yesterday and got full credit even after backing into some laser beams at the end of the fight and instagibbing. I released and stood outside the arena watching through the lasers. I wonder if it has something to do with the...

    Wonder how they'll handle 'full' servers for the transfer. I have a few friends who didn't make it onto Vingolf, but most of them did. I always feel like these games that prevent character creation on full servers should have some kind of limited refer a friend system where someone with an...

    Basically this. I cancelled my account for the first time after having been subbed pretty much consistently since release. I'm glad shit is burning down. The shame is that their lesson will be that Furor was a sex pest and not that everyone good left and that their game had become garbage.

    Judging crafting on 1-30 is not a great metric. Up through then you can sort of brute force your way through the levels. As people said, once you start getting to the higher level shit, you'll be way better served just buying the pieces you want than rolling for them. Leave that nutjob shit for...

    How is /flirt implicitly threatening 'you are at risk, I can harm you" when the two people are anonymous, 1000 miles apart and both dudes? Seems PVP is more appropriate. Speaking of which, has anyone formed a group that just walks around and commits hate crimes against a particular race/gender...

    How bad is the loss in damage/heals going with heavy armor? Is the survivability worth it? I am full heavy, all CON atm and it's fine in open world, but with Simon Grey at 25 and with Gren at 35, I spent most of my time just avoiding attacks, berserk taunting and running around. Would it make...

    Was discussing these gems with a buddy, since for a bit I thought there were gems for every main stat. Figured I could do a str/con tank with an ice gauntlet with a STR gem. Since it's only for FOC/INT (as a way to give casters a way to have a melee weapon that isn't total garbage), it seemed...

    A lot of things feel like relics from when the game was forced PVP. They don't want people to just hide in an instance grinding out to max level from 25-60, so they add a resource cost that involves doing a bit of everything out in the world (faction coins, corruption shards, gathering). After...

    All mmos that don't give boosted characters during beta are going to have that problem. Feels like as soon as you hit the 25+ zones the lore pages drop off and things are just less polished. It makes sense, since way fewer people are going to level 30/40/50+ in a beta vs the mass of idiots...

    They said they're going to offer free transfers once things calm down, but no idea if they are going to keep the 'full' designation as a limit to new character creation. It'd be kind of a pain in the ass if 1 or 2 friends didn't make it on the server and they locked it.

    You have to remember that this game started life as just another shitty Rust clone survival game. When they said they were releasing a pee vee pee mmo, people laughed at them and they decided to add all the pve shit into the game. The game has been delayed time and time again and they've...

    There are also multiple queues. Sometimes it says queued for open world, and other times queued for starting area. The starting area queues are much lower but seem to move slower than the open world ones. My weight on the S key trick eventually failed when my mechanical keyboard won out over...

    I keep a weight on my S key when I afk and haven't been kicked out. Made it through a nice long AFK and then I fast travelled to the hermit, went LD and hit a 1000+ queue. Was fun seeing all the people come in contact with Ut for the first time though.

    I mean, the easiest answer is to have 'official' servers that ban that shit and 'anything goes' servers so people can play how they want. That last part is probably the most offensive thing you could say to someone at Blizzard though.

    You just have a different line for where 'old blizzard' is. Blizzard saw the organic growth of SC esports, the trading community of D2 and the success of their 'polish a genre' that Warcraft/WoW had and they decided to formalize that as a company identity. They overdid it after that. I was there...

    Asmond is a better story than Rich. Rich was easily convinced. Asmondgold represents the very real contingent of westerners who can't get over the 'weeb aesthetic' and enjoy the game. Asmon was convinced to play and eventually fell to the dark side. I'm sure it's not what vg EB posters would...

    After the whole Tipper Gore PC era, there was significant push-back by entertainment. Things like Politically Incorrect and Tough Crowd came out after that. This time, it feels like tptb are all in on it.
