    Fractured - The Dynamic MMO

    Currently too difficult to compare them, as Fractured is really early in alpha and pretty barren of features. I will say that I like the skill system much more, it's much more modern than Aria and allows you to create some really creative builds. Fractured is worse. Pathing is asanine, the...

    Fractured - The Dynamic MMO

    Unsure if talents are working properly right now. The "ignore 40% magic resist" sounds absolutely busted but it's definitely not working on normal mobs.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    How is it for a group of 2? My brother and I might try to duo some stuff. We also might bring some other people into it but they wouldn't be as dedicated as us, is there a good mentor system for grouping with lower leveled players?

    Ashes of Creation

    Swiftstone (Sorc/Defense/Shadow) was the unsung hero of small group PvP. I had damage, peel, mobility, disengage... I wasn't necessarily the best at anything but if the enemy team tried to focus me down I could absorb hits and if they didn't, I was still a threat with damage and CC. 1v1 though...

    No and no. Best played casually with other people.

    Ashes of Creation

    Exactly this. I'm willing to believe that he can be a different kind of dev than he is a player, but I also recognize that he 100% has biases about who "should" be on top in games. The funniest thing is that his zerg guild wasn't even the largest in ArcheAge, that title goes to Oran'Thul...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Maybe it's more fun if you're one of the people doing that, but if you're a lowbie just trying to get EXP, you're either mindlessly grinding mobs for hours upon hours or mindlessly autofollowing the NM train for hours upon hours. In both situations there is no brain input required and nothing...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There was nothing fun about Eureka, ever. No purpose to exploration, no incentive to form small groups and kill mobs, no amount of thought required whatsoever - just bot up and kill NMs in the train. The arsenal dungeon sounded interesting but I was not willing to suffer through the hours upon...

    She should be allowed to stand her ground and beat the shit out of him or even kill him if he's that dangerous. She might just be 110 pounds but she could still get something done with mace to the eyes and metal knuckles assuming the dude stalking her is some fedora neckbeard LARPer. But this...

    Fractured - The Dynamic MMO

    At first I was excited to see that the post count in this thread doubled... then I realized it's because a shillpost got merged 🙄 Anyways, I'm hoping to get some time in the new alpha test this weekend to check out the talent system. Not sure about the city building though, haven't heard...

    Gotta agree with these, Twitch chat makes everything better. The streamers themselves can be hit-or-miss.

    Depends on the state. In California, if a private person is recorded/broadcast without their consent, they can sue for infringement of their right of publicity, which is more or less the right to publicize your own image however you see fit. You can argue that being used in a recording/broadcast...

    Fractured - The Dynamic MMO

    I won a permanent key from one of the contests in the last alpha, so I'll be participating in future tests. If anyone else will be playing, I'm down for grouping up.

    If you get tired of Swain, try Nautilus. He's another support that just owns the lane, though he usually gets banned.

    League Of Legends

    Swain. Take Electrocute rune, and if your ADC has a pulse you can get pretty easy kills in lane. Even if they don't you can pretty much shut down the enemy ADC and support and then scale into a raid boss late game, in spite of the reduced gold you're earning. You can't exactly 1v5, but sitting...

    Isn't this the game that Hartsman started working on after leaving Trion? Nevermind, it's Smedley... makes more sense.

    Playstation 5

    It's not just the fact that it's on an SSD, I don't remember the exact details but there's something inside the PS5's low-level firmware that allows games to access data on the SSD even faster than it would on a PC. It also has something to do with making games a smaller size (they won't have to...

    I think for me it's going to come down to how good those read speeds actually are. I still have nightmares of Bloodborne/FFXV load times on the original PS4.

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    So scale it down. Don't operate on a budget that requires seeing X00,000 players per month to achieve a return. Maybe instead operate on a budget that only needs X0,000 players or maybe even X,000 players per month. Target niche communities that prove they can be loyal, and let them determine...

    ArcheAge. They had an extremely solid game that was unfortunately murdered by their 1.0 update. This was pretty recent, too.

    Sea of Thieves (PC / Xbone)

    I'm probably not going to buy it on Steam because the only times I want to play it are when Microsoft does their $1 for a month of GamePass deal, and I doubt I'll ever pay for enough months to equal the price tag on Steam.

    Fractured - The Dynamic MMO

    Anyone have any favorite abilities or builds yet? Here's some things I noticed: Mage Armor is REALLY good. This might just be because we don't have access to good medium or any heavy armors yet, but for 4 Memory, you get 200 armor in every category, which is only about 20% weaker than hide...

    Also, I would have preferred Rearguard made into a vanilla 2/2 than his current form. At least then, Noxus would have a playable 1 drop.
