So for folks playing 1.8.0, do you think it'll be ready for an October release? edit: just checked the official forums, folks think the answer to that question is a big fat nope. I'll probably pick it up when the first big mod comes out for the released version.

This is also how classes are balanced.

It never stopped with Space Exploration. I put it down last week when I realized I was just writing software with a clumsy, gamified API. I do that for a living and don't need to do it for a hobby too. One of the big changes in Space Exploration is the addition of beacons that have a range of...

The more experimental they make the server the less likely they are to nail the execution, especially in later expansions. Future servers that have goofy rules should bake re-evaluation and rule changes into the plan. I'm imagining for Vaniki they cemented the boss kills in and had no plan or...

Yeah when he "evolved" as a character into someone who wasn't OK with murder I mentally checked out of the entire franchise. There's just not enough emotionally stable homicidal superheroes in marvel / DC.

I haven't played PoE in a few years but the few times I dove in and got to "endgame" the complication wasn't that frontloaded and you could pretty much just hop in and play. But once you've gotten *really* good at one RPG, you know that you won't get that good until you've got a really good...

A key facet of this that others might not know: Baldur's Gate has massive modability (where cosmetic changes to Minsc/Boo are common! Boo ). This modability hamstrings traditional microtransaction approaches.

After the cash grab that is Diablo Immortal I interpret everything they say about microtransactions with cynicism. When it is released without whaling I'll take a look.

It's silly that it went this wrong, but the game would improve if they started comprehensively going after it. Or they'd spend a ton of effort in an arms race that ended with a bunch of people improving their networking and linux skills. Win/win I guess

EQ would be improved dramatically if they announced they were acting against MySEQ users, handed out 7 day suspensions for anyone flagged for MySEQ use and then kept rolling out suspension escalation for its usage. Instead we get one guy who got suspended maybe for MySEQ, but probably for using...

Have any of your accounts *ever* used macroquest?

Given the warnings I've been given on the forums lately and the amount of thread and post deletion going on there is zero reason to trust the behavior of DPG. They are promoting the most hostile and toxic community I've ever seen in an MMO.

I don't even know how MQNext is different from MQ2 or any other flavor of macroquest, much less the ISX stuff you mentioned, but there are quite a few people, including me, that use ISBoxer.

Who exactly were talking to when you wrote this?

I tested out Multiplicity before Aradune. It bypasses truebox. The point of truebox wasn't to get me to buy a $200 laptop off Ebay, it was to reduce my multi-boxing efficacy, which it totally does.

In case anyone wonders why the DPG staff delete so many threads of people discussing GM action against them, this is why. They have a public policy that can cover virtually anything a player does, and a private policy of letting GMs do whatever they want with zero accountability or recourse...

Should is a good word choice.

The forums and its moderators are to EQ what the parking lot of a theme park is to the theme park. Yeah there might be a contract security parking lot guard that is obnoxious, makes a bunch of statements about the theme park that aren't true like, "don't bring alcohol into the park", but at the...

What were the suggestions?

Yeah after nobody got Cragbeast Queen south of 90% with no response from devs it looks like the poorly thought out achievements are here to stay. We can hope! I just bumped this thread with a hot-take...

This is ludicrous. GINA development is dead (afaik), GamParse is made by an EQ dev and ISBoxer is made by someone who explicitly works with game developers to keep it legal to use. If Lax adds botting to ISBoxer, the "nightmare" of them changing their stance from such an egregious change in...

I don't know what's more pathetic, the disparity between DPG's third party software stated policy and enforcement, or the rafter of middle aged nerds (including me) seeking drama on the forums like flies on shit.

When I returned to WoW after a 10ish year hiatus I had to asked support to help me find them. They were present and accounted for without issue. I'd be very surprised if ArenaNet deleted them.

I know, I posted there too. All deleted.

There never was a new thread.

lol, they just deleted the entire day of posts in that thread. And nothing of value was lost.

It's pure clown world, they deleted a post from Protocol asking about UI modifications and my response. Maybe that being Beimeth's thread means it's just a playground. They won't lock the thread, but they will just arbitrarily moderate it. This level of capricious community management probably...

I hope you're happy Sieger. edit: oh they unlocked it and are now ninja deleting posts. I wonder which thread will get bumped next to innocently hint at their current ambiguity for all the drama-loving rabble (including me) to pile into.

I've never heard of anyone even claiming they were suspended for using ISBoxer. It seems like most of the focus is on truebox servers where ISB isn't even functional.

Yeah, the dumbest shit about them not whitelisting ISB is that Lax literally reaches out to them to avoid implementing features that are against their game's wishes. I found this out when I first started using it and made a feature request they rejected because it was too close to automation.

@Sieger you dense mother fucker tryna get that GamParse thread deleted. GamParse 2.0.0.x Beta | Page 45 | EverQuest Forums

Think about the situation a little harder and you might get there. Let me put it another way: currently GamParse falls within their very broadly described list of discouraged third party programs, defined here: Constructive criticism regarding recent ban waves. | Page 3 | EverQuest Forums If...

Will be happy to see it launch, but if the entire thing blows up it's probably a good thing (as long as nobody or any useful infrastructure doesn't get hurt). The sooner Artemis is rethought around Starship the better.
