I am at 33.6 hours played with my primary character of the three I have played on (It seemed like every server I chose the first day was hitting the limit), level 21, I have a ton of time gathering, most of my gathering skills are 50-60+, my resource crafting is 50+, and my individual crafting...

I don't disagree she probably had the better performance, it doesn't make for the all out movement to make FemShep the canon poster-child of the series that we have seen. ALL CMDR SHEPS MATTER.

"Ashley is Rwasist!" is one of the memes I wish would go back to Twitter to die. Her family was humiliated by aliens and she was suspicious of them. As Nu_11 indicates, over time that diminishes and she has no issues with them. Instead, she hates Human Supremists Cerberus and refuses to work...

As I understand it, though, as you level up, fast travel azoth cost becomes a minimal barrier; just like respec (at least initially for respec, I don't know if it scales/increases over time/use). Its not a very big world so in order to give it any scale they have to keep travel times somewhat...

Young kids today don't know the past? Pshaw I say to ghosts, youth being ignorant of history before they were born, THAT's the fantasy!

I have been gaming on TV's since 2008 with my 38" Westinghouse, and then after that I got a 4k TV from South Korea. Here is the unfortunate reality. Monitors are just now starting to get to the 40+" size in 2021 and TVs less than 55" are "budget'. The 48" OLED LG CX/C2 (and maybe one of the...

I am enjoying the heck of the PVE combat in the 17-21 level. The start of the game was easily the worst part, and its pretty clear the survival roots. I don't know about long-term but the only thing that will kill the game in the short-med term is the Devs and over-reacting to the metas.

This is beta, though; its a great opportunity to learn the game and provide feedback. All the time you spend mining and anything else is going to be wiped so enjoy it (or not) and don't get too attached to anything, really. I understand if now isn't the time to want to play at all, for a host...

30 min is fine as long as there is other stuff to do. WAR/Rift are probably good analogs for this, unfortunately. Fun for a while but inevitably will drop off. It's all dependent on the Devs on the their content strategy. Do they think PvP is the filling or a side dish? Are the...

Holy shit, I read this post on Allakazam in 2001. You're correct. There is no point is talking to me: Save yourself.

Because no one wants to pick one thing. It's not 1997 anymore. Darkside fucking sucked. I beta tested UO and most of that awesome experience took place in your head. It was great at the time (ish) but way simpler. Every game has done the big creature thing. It was impressive to see hill...

No, they want blacks to hate white pee-pole. That they get something from the government was bad in one case and good in the other is tangential to the issue.

I spent most of the rest of the night gathering and crafting and man, this part of the game is well done. I found Hemp and iron, hemp by dayspring or whatever farm, iron veins were up past the camp in the mountains were you go for the first faction quest, you keep going up that path, and there...

this isn't one game, with a vision, this has been like 3 or 4 games over time and keeps changing. I think the money and the company has worked against them somewhat, in that rather than making and releasing three games and learning from the failures, they have made three games and are finally...

No wonder people fucking love FF14. I am in awe after reading that announcement. That's how you build commitment and dedication in a community.

Every server sucked; some were locked completely until they opened some new ones later on but the point is they knew the wave coming and did nothing. I had to make 3 new characters to play at all. Did the servers perform worse than expected? Did more people show up? Did they deliberately...

It's a closed beta, so you know how many invites effectively have gone out. you know how many downloads for the game have been made so you can anticipate the first day crowd. You should know how your game is architected, what kind of load it can bear, etc. So you open it up and have people...

5 new servers stood up with no queues and low pops. I got kicked in the time I wrote that. Now two servers I am locked out of today. So servers aren't scalable themselves it seems. Who TF did their architecture? Hopefully this is their stress test and they are learning they have already...

So when I logged on earlier, I got a musket and a life staff just at random in the first chest I opened. While on the starter beach I also got some plate armor and gloves, lots of ammo, etc. I figured out that you can make and equip all of the starter tools, so you can get a head start of...

Atlantis is locked now due to high player count, forget queue.

30 min on Atlantis, just got on to create my character, named Graethe. 972 in queue.

No one is saying that its going to be over in a month but the idea is that by Q1 of 22, you will be able to buy things again at close to MSRP, so six months. The shortage wasn't chips per se but substrate, and that is becoming available again. Cars, etc. are expected to be back this fall...

I have never understood people who rush to the "endgame", other than the first couple of MMOs ever, maybe. Where is the content at? If most of the content is built around leveling and your leveling experience sucks, i.e. EQ at the start, long term you are in trouble.

I got my Amazon pre-order email with a a key. Downloaded the Steam client, as everyone says without worlds available yet. It agrees with the tool that US East is closest. I'M IN finally LOOOL.

So because I was super curious as to how this would play out and worried one of my fans was now failing on my 2080Ti, I bought FF14 on the PS5 and synced my SQEnix account up and was able to pick right up where I had logged off on the PC. I played for a few levels but never really got the hang...

I played this for a few hours yesterday based upon all of the talk about the Great Migration. I had skipped this after the disaster launch of 1.0 and general avoidance of Asian MMOs. I actually had an excellent time playing up to 17 on a Gladiator and then switched over and played up to a 7 on...

39 (Virginia) and 45 (Ohio) to East servers from Texas, 52(Cal) and 67(Oregon) to West. Factions do seem very Secret World.

Atlantis it is. I can't believe AWS doesn't have a major DC presence in DFW but whatever; supposedly according to the reddit link they have an Edge presence with a VPN tunnel back to their MidWest DC, so ought to be good enough, I guess. I really thought they had a bigger DC footprint than MS...

Before they started cutting costs, Pizza Hut was excellent fucking pizza in the 80's. Pepsi bought them in 77 and at some point they became just another brand to be minmaxed and squeezed and who the fuck cares if people like your food, its all about maximizing profit. I guess Dominos and all...

I hated the space dragon one as well. This one I just decided the whole point was to make people uncomfortable ("It's space's problem now") and went with it. So many great individual bits. They learned so hard into the sexism stuff it had to be a bit. The crappy ninja, the "CHUDs", the...

I don't even know where to start. It was super fast paced, uncomfortable, and hilarious the whole time. Really felt like classic R&M, personally.

So I found this today with my family at the beach and watched both seasons. I liked it way more than most, apparently: I thought it was really pretty good. It has some jank which I attributed to EU-ness as well as fairly low budget. If lightning and CGI eyes are your two biggest effects...
