    Assassin's Creed Shadows

    I didn't even know a game came out after AC Valhalla. Just reading about it moving away from the RPG elements makes me more likely to play it, but no where near the threshold to actually play it. I don't really have hopes for AC Shadows, but if I did it would be to embrace stealth and not RPG.

    Upgraded SE, which changes all kinds of things. Most notably it changes the vitamelange production to include a bajillion greenhouses. Here's what I came up with, produces about 300 vitalic reagent a minute. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53761032587_bf883ce82d_o.jpg

    fuck that, anything worth doing well, and anything worth doing well is worth beating someone else at. Winning is winning no matter what it is.

    Yeah. In an ideal world it'd create a larger space for open world fights and multiple guilds would be able to sustain competition. More than likely what @Rajaah said is correct and a single group would dominate either by sweating harder or zerging harder.

    Speaking of a hardmode TLP, I'd be interested in a TLP with 2x slower instance timers and 4x faster openworld timers.

    Yeah I wouldn't want a lot of the things that made EQ feel hard. Most of that was ignorance and a casual mindset, which is impossible to recover. I'd want something different that provides a level of difficulty a few ticks higher than what we have in TLP, using existing systems. The other...

    I don't disagree with any of your analysis, but claiming that approach would trivially produce reliable results for a novice investor would be disingenuous. The prices set by the market are done so largely by professional investors using the same and better information you have. Sure, it feels...

    I'm on team SPY (or similar index funds) for basically the same reason. Being mostly insulated from the year to year movement in the stock market is just a clean lifestyle choice. I never argue that it's the correct choice from an investment perspective and it's arguable that even if someone...

    Another challenging server is pretty much the only TLP I'd consider playing on. I get enough of facerolling EQ content on live. Vaniki was too extreme though. I don't want to fight possibly unkillable bosses with dumbass strategies. I would just want a TLP experience with some teeth. It's been...

    I don't really disagree but it has an upside. Shitty trade systems like EQ TLP are one way EQ fosters a community in ways other MMOs don't. In GW2, BDO, or any number of games with really accessible trading systems any tradeable drop is easily reduced to a coin value with minimal opportunity...

    Leveling sucks. I'd love to see a vaniki light approach that level caps at ~25ish and then increases the cap steadily with similar approaches for level cap expansions. Was extremely popular in WoW with season of discovery. The EQ mechanics kinda break down where a bunch of level 25s exploit...

    So one of the endgame capabilities granted by Krastorio2 is matter production, like I used in the above factory. This is synergistic with the Core Mining you use on outposts where you get a bunch of random stuff. In my outposts I used that random stuff to build ingots, circuits, stone stuffs etc...

    This was one of the rare times where I built too small. I didn't realize those Material Fabricator facilities aren't modified by the beacons and can't have modules, so they don't scale at all even if their base production is high. This meant they are a bottleneck. I just redid my entire matter...

    For me, this is year 3 of this save. The first yearish long break I took was when I chose to integrate city block rails into Nauvis. The second was when I unlocked space elevator. The most common reason I see people quit SE is when they unlock space rails or space elevators (and are probably...

    If I was Vaati and made videos about ER that would be highly criticisized I'd use they/them for 100% of the characters just incase FromSoft makes them genderbenders in the future. If there's anybody who deserves to be a them it's a character who was born after they fucked themselves.

    Instead of banning or suspending, DPG should just erase subscription time of people they believe to be cheating and then be aggressive about it. Get caught and want to get back ingame? Better cough up another krono. Get suspended erroneously? Tough luck, it's just collateral damage and you can...

    A server where they level capped and increased it quickly (Ex: capped to 20, increased by 5 every week) would be really interesting. Kind of like a softer Vaniki.

    All they'd have to do is introduce FTE and add relaxed truebox, then grant free transfers for a week between Tormax and Teek. Dumbasses.
