    Everquest II

    I liked the PvP server for a while in spite of issues but even after the rollback from the Krono duping, the economy never really recovered and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. But like Secrets, I am a sucker for this game, and the concept of the Lore and Legend server...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Flesh and Blood

    I started playing about a month ago, I'm absolutely in love with this game. Currently rocking Kano because he is a ton of fun and earth Briar doesn't bother me too much when I play him (lightning Briar is tougher). As long as Briar is keeping Prism out of the meta and people think Azalea isn't...

    Fractured - The Dynamic MMO

    It's a double edged sword. Gamigo is one of the worst publishers out there but at least them backing the game is a guarantee that it will, at some point, release.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Deep gnomes are so damn cool. Can't wait to play one and just run under the legs of all the other races. Shawn gave us another shoutout today: "Sorry to anyone from FoH but I couldn't get into the Wheel of Time books." :emoji_joy:

    Great 4x games?

    I recommend Endless Legend. It requires a bit more micromanagement when it comes to units than a game like Civ, but it's a fantastic game with a great fantasy aesthetic and the cleanest UI you will ever see in a 4x game.

    It would be more entertaining if the facial tracking was half decent. There's a lot of interesting things you can do with cartoons that you can't do with live action, which is why the exist in the first place. Unfortunately, most vtubers have awful face/movement tracking, and the models are...

    Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark

    I meant to say 6 Eyes, not Nine Dots... I get those two studios confused all the time lol.

    Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark

    I don't want a sequel to this game because I think the worldbuilding and lore of the Fell Seal world is pretty bad. But I do want Nine Dots 6 Eyes to make another Tactics-style RPG with a bigger budget (better art direction, better story, better music, etc.).

    New World

    I don't have a reliable source, that's just rumors I've heard from people who know people who work for Amazon gamedev. But none of them stated these things with as much confidence as: So maybe Warrik knows more than they do?

    It's still being worked on. The partnership with Tencent is dead but a game is still being made according to rumors.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I've only played Dragonfall. Good narrative and gameplay but there are so many damn bugs (many of which cause battle restarts and one particular one which corrupts an entire save file) that I would never pay money for it. Free is a good price for it.

    Everquest II

    The rollback was good, at least. I'm missing two Krono but they said those will be restored on Tuesday so we'll see. I'm not sure how it is at lower levels but at cap Q side still feels fine.

    Everquest II

    On Tarinax, Guardian is the best PvE and PvP tank, but is very group dependent. Berserker is still quite good and also better at soloing. For any other server, I wouldn't know.

    Everquest II

    I've already cancelled auto-renew on my subscription. I'm going to see what happens to the economy over the next week but if prices aren't corrected by Friday I will probably stop playing until the economy gets fixed and EoF releases. Hoping to get my Claymore and Peacock weapons on Sunday so I...

    Everquest II

    Sad to say but I think you're right. Mentoring has been re-enabled and dupers have been banned but there was no rollback so the amount of plat in the economy now is ridiculous. I'm waiting to see if broker prices go back to normal next week but if they don't I'm probably done, which was a shame...

    The D&D thread

    I can only speak from my experience with the Pathfinder 2e system on Foundry, but its automation is *almost* as good as FG. Seriously, it's very close, and you can add additional automation into Foundry on your own through the use of rules elements which are simple to learn an understand. Also...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    It never really gets better lol. In the later expansions there are certainly less interlude quests than the ones between ARR and HW but you're going to be mostly experiencing the same mindless drivel over and over again. There is so much awful quest padding and forgettable moments in the story...

    Sea of Thieves (PC / Xbone)

    Bothered? You're the one getting defensive here. "Not sure why this concept is so hard for you to grasp," "Precious snowflakes like yourself." Maybe if your ideas were sound enough to stand on their own, you wouldn't have to fall back on sarcasm and pettiness. The design of Sea of Thieves is...

    The E3 2021 Thread

    They don't have to convert MP3 to non-motion controls, they can just require the game be played using a Joycon motion controls. TWEWY just rereleased on Switch with such a control scheme, I can't imagine why this wouldn't be possible for MP3.

    Not literally bots, but effectively bots, because you don't need to interact with them whatsoever.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There is no MMO while you're leveling. It's all single-player story content with the occasional dungeon with three random players (bots) that you barely interact with. The game doesn't become an MMORPG until you actually get to the point where you need to interact with people on a level beyond...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Correct. But the story skip will give you access to the roguelike dungeons which allow you to level your other jobs much faster than you normally level through questing or dungeons.
  27. Kriptini

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    For starters, I would highly recommend buying the story skip and level boost- Nevermind. You'll probably want to skip this game. Playing FFXIV below max level is 100% not worth it.

    The D&D thread

    You can develop your own custom system in Foundry using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. If you're looking for a "sandbox" kind of system with editable parameters that don't require you to write code, I'm not sure if that exists, but it's the type of thing that may have been developed by the community...

    Sea of Thieves (PC / Xbone)

    Sea of Thieves already has cosmetic progression. What I believe you are asking for is some sort of stats/equipment progression. All that does is create a mechanical gap between players, which currently does not exist, and that gap not existing is one of the best things about Sea of Thieves. I...

    It is the best $50 you will ever spend in your life. Roll20 is a shitfest of bugs, lag, inconvenient tools, ugliness, and rigidity. Foundry has stable releases, is as fast as the machine you host it on, a variety of useful tools that are much more efficient than Roll20's counterparts, a crisp...

    This is nonsense because if you detatch a Joycon from the Switch then you have a Wiimote.

    Sea of Thieves (PC / Xbone)

    What do you mean pointless? The point is to enjoy the game. If you need arbitrary numbers going up when you accomplish something in order to enjoy the game, I'd argue that you don't actually enjoy the game.
  33. Kriptini

    Sea of Thieves (PC / Xbone)

    Why? I don't need every game to have some kind of progression-based grind that gives people mechanical advantages. I love how Sea of Thieves is so easy to drop in and out of. I can roll up after not having played for months and I'm still competitive against anyone I find on the seas. I love that.

    Genshin Impact

    It's the time-gate precisely that puts me off. When I come home from a 10 hour day of work, the last thing I want to do is have to log into Genshin Impact and spend my resin or else lose it. I want to be able to sit down for a handful of hours on a weekend and advance at my own pace. But I can't...

    Genshin Impact

    The early game and mid game is fun. The end game grind sucks due to resin gates. Just play it as long as you enjoy it and then drop it as soon as you get to end game grinding.

    Is anyone considering seriously going HAM in this? I'm down to give it a shot if we have a resident Crowfall expert. I know next to nothing about this game but I like PvP.

    This game will be important to answer the question of whether or not American-made AAA MMORPGs deserve to exist anymore. There are a couple of things about it that sound good - they're already funded and they're designing for and marketing to a niche audience with a particular type of game...
