That is one of my main concerns- as more people start hitting the RNG walls, the louder the dissenting voices are going to be. The whole system is clearly a “we designed a problem we will sell you a solution for system”, and once people realize the p2w nature of it all, there will be a larger...

FFXIV did a good job of making you the main character in a story, so we’re always front and center. They’ve also conditioned the audience to accept a Gordon Freeman/Chrono from ChronoTrigger protagonist that is “silent” but is implied to still be talking to the characters. It let’s the player...

I suppose it remains to be seen how much of a reset button post-EW ends up being. If they eventually get enough content, they could let you start post EW

Yoshi P has talked about a possible alternative starting experience at some point, although didn’t give details. Trying to retroactively make the early expansions solo only friendly makes me think they could eventually squeeze in an expedited experience. Kind of like in Lost Ark where you do...

Art had been my main, but I love paladin playstyle

New teaser posters show Butcher with glowing eyes, so that seems to suggest they will be following the comics and they’re going to Compound V themselves to better deal with supes.

His statement is vague enough to make me still think both parties had to sign some non-disclosure agreements. Resolving the case suggests settlement, although I doubt we will ever know the details any time soon.

Wasn’t that revealed to be one the first new classes being added to NA/EU? Also on the topic of gold, you do need some gold early game. They immediately throw shit at you which requires gold to do, like the stronghold quests which require items that cost gold to make or research. You don’t...

Typical AGS handling: reward early adopters, fuck over late comers, create divisive system that long term kills player engagement

Aeryn Sun > all

The Live Letter explained that Castrum and Praetorium will both be runnable with NPCs. Castrum they insinuated some major changes for (they talked about not needing to wait for Cid, for instance), so I wouldnt be surprised if they streamline that dungeon and cut out a lot of the dumb fucking...

You clearly haven't been paying attention to AGS and how they retreated on RMT on New World. It isn't out of the realm of possibility they wanted to soften or scale back a lot of the RMT/P2W shit in LA. Every Korean MMO that goes hard on p2w always dies in the West once the the shininess...

Right. And this was changed. Why? Because they know the west as a general rule hates p2w bullshit in MMOs, so they're trying really hard to entice players to stay and hopefully swipe (if not for gold, then other shit). Check out the forums. People are already getting sick of honing RNG...

Like when Jesse Cox was playing through it, he was theory crafting about Crystal Tower. Then he got all psyched when the payoff to that theory crafting came multiple expansions later

But if you make gold hard to get, then it gives gold sellers even more power, because now you're introducing an obstacle that people are more willing to pay money to bypass. I recall people who played pre-western release that in the KR/RU versions, gold was hard to get and you had to run alts...

I feel like anticipated classes like scouter will get held back as an intentional “break glass if player numbers start to fall” insurance policy

You’re misreading or misunderstanding. Post-ARR pacing feels bad because your essentially chain running content that was released in pieces over years. That is why post-ARR has a bad habit of recaps literally moments after you did a quest that just explained that, or a bunch of random fights...

The preservation on the ship is amazing. Frozen in time, no pun intended

Warcraft was never high fantasy (even going back to the RTS games), that poster is either a moron or doesn’t understand what high fantasy actually is

People say if you get 50 friends, you get 1k of those shards

Yoshi P did confirm in interviews that they will make story tweaks based on audience reception of story/character elements in prior patches.

While you are probably trolling, the answer is yes. I will fully admit that some of the Scions really don’t “click” until ShB. And some start to show much more personality than they did previously

So basically the plot of Xcom2? Bad guys enslave billions because they claim it is needed to stop something worse than them?

Yes. Lyse’s “savior” arc in SB felt unearned and she just came across as a passionate but preachy airhead with the charisma of a rock, so players usually got irritated with her. That is probably why in part in like the very next SB patch, the story gave her a reason to bow out. I think she...

Ya every guide I read says the 2nd pally awakening is a no brained choice, but I haven’t unlocked it yet. I’m assuming the quest line where you get the necklace in the mail is what starts that?

Any suggested support paladin guides? I found one that seems to be decent and have been running that. The one I’m running had expert as one of its recommended engravings because it boosts shielding for your group a lot

Plus some fan favorite characters, when they get too much limelight, are lessened in impact. Although the priest basically becoming some hardass assassin is pretty funny. Dudes like blind in one eye and has no problem murdering dudes in cold blood and hooked up with one of the hottest people...

Deep Space 9 would like a word with you Keep in mind ARR->EW is essentially a 10 year story arc. ARR is mostly world building. HW continues on that trend, but tries to narrow the scope of the story for that expansion. SB gets grief because the story is sort of disjointed - The Othgard part...

Regarding stats, I’ve noticed that most guides you can google almost never mention stats. They’ll talk about skills, engravings, but talk fuck all about stats. Like on my support paladin, from what I can see from the stats, swiftness endurance and specialization seem the best? But I can’t...

Final boss of the Hildibrand abyssal dungeon - how can you tell that meteor mechanic is succeeding (the X and the 3 people with the V shaped things)? I joined some matchmaking and we kept dying over and over. The game doesn't seem to tell you if you're doing it right, or at least not in an...

Counter point: Play through Shadowbringers

Btw does the blessed aura engraving not self heal? I’ve got rank 2 and I never feel any regen on my paladin when I pop the skill

I really hate PvP in this game. It's pretty much "stun and die"

The old TSR/Goldbox stuff was classic. NWN on AOL was my first MMO (I think it is considered the first graphical MMO since it came out in the early 90s and could support up to 500 players in the gameworld at one time towards the end of its run), but it was back when they charged by the hour to...

Shit like this I like

The arcade at the local mall was always dark like those pics. Plenty of good times. @Kithani you're right on that used to be one of my favorite arcade games. For the shooter games, the best was when they had 2 guns and you could be both player 1 and player 2 and basically go akimbo on...

They finally released the Invader from the Stars update - basically every hour the Zetans send a flying saucer to a random location and you have to fight off waves of aliens while avoid missile strikes to get bosses to spawn and when you kill enough bosses, the invasion commander comes down in...

This game has a bad documentation problem. So I visit that cruise ship and buy a lobster dinner rapport item. Great, I think, I'll use this later. So I go do some questing and then suddenly I get a message that the lobster dinner is now a cold lobster dinner. I check my inventory and now its...

The movie was decent until the dog died and then he met the woman and kid. The original ending (not the theatrical one) was a lot better, IMO. All through the movie, they keep hinting that the vampire things aren't total mindless creatures and there is still something human in them. Then in...

We never actually owned the 2600. First game system in my house was the Atari 5200. Controller joystick broke so easily on the damn thing, though
