A compounding effect is that a rando rogue you give a pity invite to in original EQ is probably too obtuse or ignorant to play a better class, so they aren't the diamond in the rough that makes up for class imbalance with force of will, but a subpar player who chose a subpar class.

I don't know you or Sylas but if someone infantilized me this much I'd be infuriated and massively insulted. He's more than welcome to shitpost and be treated like an adult for doing so.

very surprising. I really enjoyed his work.

How frequently in your personal life are you forced to realize you made a mistake, only to make the same mistake soon after?

In my scenario of hopping back, enacting a change and hopping forward to see how it played out, I think this would be a problem and you'd have to motivate a society to overcome the language/tech barrier to experience the payoff. Jumping forward 10,000 years only to find out that Augustus was...

I've never thought about that before, but presuming that there's no monkey paw bullshit where I cause a butterfly to fart and then I'm never born or jumps forward cause me to fall into the sun, I'd treat the universe as my own personal playground. I'd go forward in time, document a bunch of...

The tools for a low-level rogue are extremely minimal and playing them is boring. It only gets fun in certain situations or when you get deep into EQ's lifetime where you are focused on buff stacking, rotations, etc. EQ is a unique game for a few reasons, one of which is the massive amount of...

Being puller is great for the first hour of a camp. Then after it's nice being in the camp so you can catch up on Netflix and just spam the same abilities over and over.

No. Maybe a future AI will have the kind of sentience that you're worried about, but it probably won't be called ChatGPT. ChatGPT (allegedly) is a mostly read-only process that only has memory of limited conversations, which aren't automatically fed back into the shared databases. OpenAI...

Starting with a druid on TLP is $$$ because of utility. I don't know how it'll play out with the benefits of multiple chars on one account on Oakwynd but having a pocket druid to port you around, hand out DS/sow/regen/heal/whatever is a huge QOL. Having both enc/dru duo is a great core to build...

How are the controls on emulated TOTK? Do you use an xbox or something with it? I really liked the gamepad/mouse combo for Elden Ring. Left hand on the gamepad for movement control and right hand on the mouse for camera control.

Decent summary. Interesting that they're releasing an open source model, but who knows if that was said just to drive the conversation with congress.

You're right, TLP is more like middle school.

I wonder if corps will publish datasets. Or if new standards will emerge that tag text data in useful ways to common AI models. Image datasets are super common ( 20+ Best Image Datasets for Computer Vision [2023] ). Sometimes companies will publish datasets as a way to crowdsource solutions, ex...

Are these the actual rules or are they just "rules" that the chatbot came up with?

Did you validate the questions / solutions?

Feels like a FTE being a training wheels server with easy pull splitting might be totally OK. The /yell prompt is zone wide, right? Might be entertaining for a group to be exposed as being little bitches by constantly exploiting it in front of everyone.

Coldest take this side of Snow Mountain Shrine.

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.

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

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.

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...

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...

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...

Which MMO?

Just got off the phone with Jen Change, they are just calling a mulligan and not doing a TLP this year.

Yep. https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/test-update-5-9-2023-patch-notes-and-discussions.290535/

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.

@Chukzombi It broke at the end, lol. I regenerated it. It broke again. I think it runs out of gas.

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.

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.

Update: May 3, 5:17 p.m. ET: In an emailed statement, Celestis announced that all 120 flight capsules included in this mission “are safely in the hands of launch personnel and will be returned to us awaiting our next flight as soon as UP and Spaceport America complete their investigation and any...

I'll note that nobody who thinks chatgpt can replace tv writers in 2023 has taken me up on my request to get chatgpt to write a script or screenplay.
