    I love everything about the game except for the one thing I can't stand, my gaming bete noir: "Rogue-like". Well fuck. It means they don't have to make nearly as much content and I am guaranteed to get frustrated.

    I remember when it was just genius Nerds. John Carmack, Sid Meier, Gary Grigsby, Chris Roberts, etc. Blizzard was loaded with talent, Then over time it and almost every other dev became SJW central. Anyway, we have threads for this.

    Both so close: She *ate* the EndGame. You have to shrink down to the Quantum Level ala Avengers Endgame and fight inside her to win your freedom. <bow chicka wow wow plays quietly in the distance>

    Final Fantasy 16

    Every time one of these comes out I wish I had got into playing them. I own the soundtrack to a few and probably the game (I know I own/ed X and played 14 for quite a while) just can't seem to stick with any of them.

    Was an amazingly fun game, they were coming back after the changes and delays when Marvel yanked the license. The Secret World was another really good game that Funcom never really gave the chance it should have gotten. Has any other company created more games with possibility and then...

    Costumes, heroes, and various drop and XP boosts: I owned every character and took 7? I think to Cosmic. It was a lot of unique drops and XP I was farming. I'm not proud, sheesh. Just the initial Ultimate hero pack was $200. I really, truly, loved that game. I was all in. Even though its...

    Marvel Heroes was the game that broke me on spending money on games. I had all the heroes, and was constantly spending 20 here and 20 there. Near the end I put together a spreadsheet and realized I could have built a PC with all the money I had 20 and 30 dollar at a time spent on the game. I...

    Early Release starts on my birthday. I am excited. Rubber banding is not a PC issue, its a server issue. Disconnects were mostly solved by Sunday, at least if there were any, you were typically kicked back to character select and then were able to go right back into the game. Not being able...

    This got glossed over in the voice acting aside but there were a lot of great/good side quests in the Fractured Peaks; hopefully they aren't front loaded; just off the top of my head: -Black Asylum Boy -Hellraiser Husband - Wayward Brother -Memento Man in Margrave -The Exorcist -The Woodsman's...

    I felt the same way at first but since I have really enjoyed watching folks play things I have thought about playing but never invested much time in, like Sons of the Forest or Conan Exiles, to either get an intro to the game or to see how certain things are accomplished, or just to enjoy the...

    Or solved it by releasing the entire game, all five acts. Better yet, locking the doors and setting the building on fire. Fuck Blizzard for making another Diablo game after D2. BETTER YET: Releasing the SMOD into the Upper atmosphere because ungrateful fucks have to walk AND loot in game...

    Now its too late for drunk posting/blackpilling, awww geez. This is a flagship IP of a multi-billion dollar corp; they aren't going to take too many chances or risks here. Even changes for the better would be criticized if it didn't touch people in the right way like it used to in the old...

    Look, I appreciate that its no small amount of money but the fact that people are super resistant to any price increase at all is how we got horse armor, microtransactions, battle/season passes, etc. Games were 50 bucks 50 years ago when they cost 1/20th the price to make or something...

    That is cope: "There is a super great build coming that makes this game amazing!!!" The game is what the game is. I like what I see though but don't expect too much more than that. They can fix and change a few things, as they stated: Add a gem bag, make it clear that you should use the...

    Dev update talked about finding and fixing a number of backend/infra bugs. A bunch of changes announced; Gem tab/bag is coming as well I was steamrolling at 23 on my necro bone fragments/blood surge/corpse explosion/bone spear with a point in blood mist and almost full legendaries, including...

    I was DC central for a while (6+ times, probaly 3 hours total waiting at the queue screen today) while my buddy was started playing much later today was fine, not a single DC at all. Weird and I wonder if there was some scenario/code test they were doing today. Seems unusual for some to...

    Just had some in game crash, back to character screen but none of my characters, even a new one, could load. Exited game, restarted battle.net, 23 min queue. The differential experience must be a Datacenter/regional/geographic one. Its going to be an interesting tale of tape once we hear the...

    Can't leave Koyabashistan at the moment. Reach the edge of town and just run in place forever; try to fast travel and go nowhere; inside of Kurkminstand and its fine. Server cluster issue, obviously. Probably load related, as others speculate. Would love to know how this is architected but...

    Yeah, In Koivayshad I am getting some rubberbanding as well, can only imagine the amount of pounding the servers are getting at the moment with no pre-order requirement for the game. A million players got a character to level 20 last week; now with no purchase requirement and the hype, can...

    Well, I want some Blizzard bucks because its perfect for me and OMG wow is the Necro powerful. I just completed Neriak or whatever the prologue area is and while my first character barb died like 8 times to the boss, not a single Skeleton died in killing him in record time. I never drank a...

    ~20 min at 16:14 GMT. I was a few min late hitting the queue because I was ordering food. Not planning on leaving for the rest of the day, will just be watching FNT at 3:00PM CDT while playing.

    I have seen reported that there is a closed Endgame (lvl 100+) beta ongoing with high-playtime D2 and D3 players. How much will things change? Things working not as intended may change. Things the Deva didn't foresee and receiving universal clamor may change. But anyone who thinks that they...

    I used to be a datacenter manager and wanted to see which company was doing their hosting; it seems like it was AT&T back in WoW heyday (which made sense as they were sitting on top of the biggest pipes and data was probably such a huge expense, and AT&T was looking to "branch out" ala Uncle...

    They could be testing the new login servers they are adding to the cluster and forgetting to make them non-public. I expect tomorrow they are going to be SUPER slammed. Does anyone know off the top of their head where Blizzard hosts their infra?

    Down to 40 min; going to get there and see " No servers are Available to fulfill this request" due to Joey the server admin leaving a login server on after running a test for tomorrow with no DB and game servers up, I bet. Fuck you Joey!!!

    Oh no doubt. I will have more time next weekend but I want to at least try all 5 to see. I didnt think I would like Sorc as much as I did. Ended up tonight at almost 22, having played every side quest I could find. There were a couple of really good ones in the mix there; we'll see what the...

    So I just thought I was having a good time with sorc until I got legendries that gave me some awesome kill on life, an extra cast of hydra and the enchant passive for blizzard cast on myself every 6 sec. Now I just cast double max hydras, max blizzard and max frost nova and watch stuff fall...

    I liked it with some caveats. -Barb/Melee def seems disadvantaged, particularly in boss fights. Maybe its just me? Probably its just my build sucks. I don't know. Its fine to walk around in but the harder mobs punish close range, which I need to be at least some of the time. The first boss...
