    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    There's a lot of things you could criticize Nintendo for, but I don't think their decision to not compete in the same technological space as xbox / playstation is one of them.

    I might have to buy a new PC just to run a Switch game. I'm really just looking for an excuse to buy a new PC tho.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Anyone here running on an emulator? I don't think I'd mind playing on my switch but now I'm kinda curious.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yep. They just need to yeet out a script that drops the respawn timer of the entire original EQ and Kunark mobs to 25% and see what happens.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Dropping the respawn time to 25% in a handful of zones and 50% in some other zones would be extremely positive and not that much work (Presumably...). I still like my "Monster Tide" idea though that's more ambitious and experimental. What's your favorite idea to handle Resource Contention you'd...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Their decisions are so grossly out of touch that it's impossible to predict whether they will do the rational thing and push back Oakwynd or ditch FTE for at least the original release (where it'd probably be most impactful,l lol) It'd be completely inline for them to release an absolute mess...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I agree, but I'd much rather lose to a bot because bot was running at 1ms on a PC with a 100ms less ping than I have when I'm spamming that ability at 200ms, vs the bot simply being able to attack untargetable and invisible mobs a second before I can.

    Gotta be pretty dismal to push to fix this out when the playerbase hates the concept of it even with a perfect implementation. Just watching the video Jasper posted of mobs locking and being inaccessible to other players is personally revolting. Best thing the EQ devs can do for the long-term...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    As a non-writer I'd be kinda curious to read an experience of a writer trying to create a "well-written" chapter or screenplay for an episodeor scene based on ChatGPT. Like you said it's generic and boring. Are there prompts that you can give ChatGPT that excite the right kind of interesting...

    Would love to see another game that tries to capture the essence of Dungeon Master + party the way NWN did. ChatGPT has kinda primed the pump for that type of game in a singleplayer format too.

    I thought the exact same thing. That was one of the first progression fantasy book series I've ever read. I wish there was an audible narration of it so I could consume it again now that I've gone through dozens of other similar series decades later.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Asking for high-quality (which likely means high budget) and original TV content is a little unfair because it's so attractive to build on an established IP, especially in genres with strong IP like superhero or scifi. If a studio is willing to put up the $$$ for quality actors, special effects...

    I wouldn't mind seeing them bring free-trade to live / Bristlebane for a single expansion. Especially if it came with reduced loot drops. Right now everything is loot pinata in the group game on live.

    Where did you get the idea of a dragon sea monster from? You're just a lizard brain with language regurgitating thoughts other people had with a thin veneer of consciousness fooling yourself into thinking you have a soul that provides creativity. Just like me!

    I use the app to order McDonalds and it's sooo slow compared to the point of sale system I used when I was 14 and worked at McDonalds. Annoying ass animations and cloud-based delay. Anyway, I'd love to see the drive thru times, operational cost and deployment investment on that McDonalds.

    You know Booze, if you learned to read and understand context, you'd have a shot at finally getting off welfare. Within the context of this writer's guild strike, ChatGPT only has a modest impact at displacing scriptwriters for the kind of TV shows we're talking about. In the future? It'll...

    All I know they said in response is in Oakwynd Information and FAQ | EverQuest Forums where they didn't really acknowledge or address any of the FTE complaints. The test server's integration of those features was unsurprisingly pushed back.

    I'd argue that Skyrim is the pinnacle ES game. It really is a stellar game, with or without mods. I wouldn't play Morrowind in 2023 without heavy mods, but I'm a big mod guy.
