Need that AOE b-rez

Been keeping a watch on the evolution, and it's quickly becoming apparent that the capacity to play often/a lot is far more important than everything else. Probably including store lootboxes.

The real clincher is that those races have a creation and a login screen associated, which all other non-playable "subraces" that can wear equipment lack. If they're going the sub-race route, I suspect only those are for current beta build, but we may yet see variants for all current races. And...

Snoogms just announced in discord that alliances are going to be locked (presumably to prevent alliance jumping).

There aren't any western MMO coming out anymore. The only MMO currently in dev are microtransaction-larded russian combat games and korean isometric grinders...

The building queue requires Analemma card to unlock the slots. The UI has 2 "fakes" to unlock your first 2 slots, you have to either find, get the domain (I think) full achieve, or craft one to unlock the 3rd building. I think the mobile versions will help if you can requeue buildings while at...

Also, since that animation in the tweet wasn't very clear, here's a better view:

Almost certainly not: it's 122° from the ecliptic, so it never even came close to any major body in the solar system.

Well, of course he is. He's the director himself after all. (under heavy CGI, of course)

Yep. The post-credit scene from Doctor Strange is lifted straight and put there (along with the rest of the context). You also need to remember your GotG well, or the first post-credit scene will not be as impactful. I also noticed that there's a lot of deleted scenes. Some of the scenes from...

More simply: habit. And alcohol will creep on you, so you slowly increase the amount over months/years until you're sitting in front of your MD with your latest blood test, trying to calculate how much alcohol you drank over the week, and realize exactly how deep you're digging your liver's...

Going to see that on thursday... (yes, we have a 9 day headstart, it's releasing tomorrow in France)

Stress is one of the major cause of ulcers.

Being an alcoholic doesn't mean being a drunk. I know, I was a functional alcoholic for years. Drank over 2 liters of pure alcohol equivalent every week, sometimes almost 3. Imagine drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels every day without fail. For years. The functional alcoholic wakes up without a...

While waiting for the next alpha round, I've been watching some Let's Plays, and oh, boy, it is painful to watch. Expecting people to watch 1h of Snoogms playing before starting is not good... Anyway, things are going to heat up tomorrow, when the first noob protections are going to drop (and...

I was talking with people in my TSO (The Settlers Online web MMO) guild, all of them heavy P99 players, and they're all looking forward to play the pre-alpha and expecting their P99 guild to die at that point. Looking forward for massive smirking... :P

Jaded is the motto of this group. But we're still at the giddy phase where we don't see the flaws. Yet. Now excuse me, it's time for my Stellaris methadone now... :D

Definitively up for a round (or two... or three... or....). Looking forward for the next test when there's a mac client. I assume there's no OS-segregated servers...

I see the nickname Tomb of Soaks is well deserved...

Seems weird, because the UI and game don't look like they're good for a mobile-type UI instead of mouse.

Yup. The game has been in open alpha/beta for over a year? Just found about it because none of the strategic gamer channels I follow on Youtube did a feature on it (get quill18 to feature the game and watch your following explode). Only question: OSX build? It's Unity, so you should be able to...

Basically, the guy purchased two 10$ package of lootboxes, and compared to the boxes he kept around from 2-3 days of playing. He got had more lootboxes, but lower quality, so he got overall less cards, but more rares/epic/legendary. My impression was that play time is making waaay more...

Video showing the lootbox and store:

90% of the browser strategy games are clones of Travian anyway. But apparently, the devs do explicitly reference Travian anyway :)

Browser vs static clients is exactly the same for games vs business applications: - Easier deployment - Multi-platform portability (including mobile) - Fine-grained control - And require only a single communication channel (vs some business tentacled horrors that require disk mounts, 2...

I probably will. It depends on the impact of the lootbox store. From one of the videos, it looks like the guy got like 40 lootboxes over a day of hardcore playing, all of which give him 3-8 cards, which appear to be waaaay more than he can use, so he keeps the best. So a lootbox store may not...

It is.

Well, we can guess the business model then :)

Might & Magic Heroes Online | Home page (last time I tried, it did crash my - fairly old - mac)

That one scene is very special because...

Yes, but Gorenaire didn't drop 1 piece of gear per 5 players. The zerg would litterally have to kill it three times more to get "the best" out of it. Which meant that it usually had a large churn because the ones who had managed to get geared got tired of redoing the content (like we have with...

My guess is they said "A guy who played the Joker is perfect for this role". Which isn't entirely wrong.

Did it on Sept. 29th... now on to the hundred... Currently finishing The Enigma of Reason, which is a must if you want to understand why we have reason...

Oh, just in case you did not notice:

There is paper folding.

The Monster Hunter series. Most of the Monster Hunter grind is figuring which weapon you need to tackle your next boss, and making it (usually using components from the earlier bosses that you go back and hunt again).

Ah. Need to do the dungeon once. Trying to find a storymode run...
