    Elder Scrolls VI

    Port mods like morrowind to skyrim are kinda dumb anyway. Part of the appeal and nostalgia is the jank ass engine.

    Guild Wars 2

    It's like they looked at all the characters in the great party based RPGs from Ultima to Baldur's Gate to KotoR and decided to pick the ones I only let in my party when I had to do their quests.

    Guild Wars 2

    So I'm facerolling my way through Champions. I think a big problem with the story and the story NPCs is that they're all basically the same character. Super whiny, super serious, all completely dedicated to their current story as if it's the most overwhelming thing they've ever done. The only...

    Guild Wars 2

    Part of me is like, i shouldn't pick the obviously popular class because it'll get nerfed but gw2 balance is shit for years so maybe I'll start Doing dailies until i hate myself and quit before any real balance happens.

    Guild Wars 2

    So how representative of the game's current powerbalance is the latest entry in this chart? https://gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/popularity In other words, is Mechanist OP AF with Virtuouso and Firebrand really strong and all things elementalist trash? Catalyst 0.39% fml.

    Guild Wars 2

    Yeah my plan was to come roll a new class based on the current flavor of the month/year but I just can't get excited about playing anything other than my only character, the elementalist. When I played before the elementalist was one of the least played classes and everyone shat on them but I...

    The references were obvious for EQ players but it was kinda nice to hear from the author that he loves EQ.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Just to expand a bit more, there are more interested and interesting people to bring to space. Aside from actual scientists who would benefit from it, I'd rather bring some OnlyFans hoes up to the ISS for some filmed conjugal visits with the residents there with proceeds going to NASAs budget...

    Cost, time, danger, discomfort. I've flown dozens of times and still hate doing it. If man was made to fly God would have given us wings.

    No worries brother. I'm a quarter of the way through. I'm trained like a dog to enjoy slow, grueling starts to games so I'm enjoying this wretched character getting told to put his foolish ambitions to rest.

    started Cradle last night, enjoyed the first chapter! Nothing like starting a new, critically acclaimed and long book series.

    Lookin bad for a launch today boys. Building rockets around old engines feels like those scifi stories of building on old tech from previous civilizations they don't understand. Expanse, mass effect, wh40k etc. It's embarrassing.

    Artemis launch tomorrow is win / win for me. If everything succeeds we get an amazing launch. If everything fails catastrophically the program is more likely to be rethought around Starship sooner. I'll he surprised if Artemis III uses the SLS, so i guess it doesn't matter.

    Guild Wars 2

    GW2 needs a counter-culture character like who is just there to clown everyone. Not only do they have all this social justice + feeling crap in, but they take it extremely seriously and there is no comedic relief. A common theme of party RPGs is that you can select the party members you want...

    Guild Wars 2

    The "horizontal progression" is a fun thought experiment and break for me. Like a lot of people here I've probably played 100+ stat progression-centered games from Rogue to Elden Ring. In GW2 I was max level 3 days after release and had BiS gear two days later. Over a decade later that gear is...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Would much rather see them allow world-kills to count but only until the level is increased. Would be great to see some one-time kills of these bosses with a server-wide zerg or guilds cheese-kill somehow.

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    Open world mob competition in a game without PvP and with rules against training is the second worst end-game in any MMO. The first worst being the "competitive scheduling" being done in some recent EQ live releases where the victor is the guild who is able to flag the fastest by optimizing...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Yeah. Throwing a rule like "stagger the level increase a couple weeks after a level increase expansion" would add a bit of spice to a future TLP. Such that for the first two weeks of a Kunark unlock everyone is level 50. Or something.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    So for folks playing 1.8.0, do you think it'll be ready for an October release? edit: just checked the official forums, folks think the answer to that question is a big fat nope. I'll probably pick it up when the first big mod comes out for the released version.

    It never stopped with Space Exploration. I put it down last week when I realized I was just writing software with a clumsy, gamified API. I do that for a living and don't need to do it for a hobby too. One of the big changes in Space Exploration is the addition of beacons that have a range of...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    The more experimental they make the server the less likely they are to nail the execution, especially in later expansions. Future servers that have goofy rules should bake re-evaluation and rule changes into the plan. I'm imagining for Vaniki they cemented the boss kills in and had no plan or...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Yeah when he "evolved" as a character into someone who wasn't OK with murder I mentally checked out of the entire franchise. There's just not enough emotionally stable homicidal superheroes in marvel / DC.

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

    I haven't played PoE in a few years but the few times I dove in and got to "endgame" the complication wasn't that frontloaded and you could pretty much just hop in and play. But once you've gotten *really* good at one RPG, you know that you won't get that good until you've got a really good...

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

    A key facet of this that others might not know: Baldur's Gate has massive modability (where cosmetic changes to Minsc/Boo are common! Boo ). This modability hamstrings traditional microtransaction approaches.

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

    After the cash grab that is Diablo Immortal I interpret everything they say about microtransactions with cynicism. When it is released without whaling I'll take a look.

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    It's silly that it went this wrong, but the game would improve if they started comprehensively going after it. Or they'd spend a ton of effort in an arms race that ended with a bunch of people improving their networking and linux skills. Win/win I guess

    EQ TLP - Yelinak (True-Box Timelocked Progression)

    EQ would be improved dramatically if they announced they were acting against MySEQ users, handed out 7 day suspensions for anyone flagged for MySEQ use and then kept rolling out suspension escalation for its usage. Instead we get one guy who got suspended maybe for MySEQ, but probably for using...
