Gotta finish Tara Tam Deepcroft hard as a side blue quest (50 hard dungeon) The ending cutscene when you hand in the final quest after beating it is the freakiest shit they’ve ever done in this game lol

Good video on bard vs. paladin support comparison

Ya, I am liking artillerist. It's tanky enough that you can take some hits and a lot of its skills combo together really well.

SWTOR was enjoyable, but I have to agree it doesn't rise to the same level storywise. It was also very class dependent in terms of your experience until they jettisoned that later on.

Good games still mattered. Despite what people believe, you don't get sustainable long term profits/growth if you just churn out shit. Take a look at their late 90s history - they gobbled up a lot of studios during that time and provided some seed funding to make some high profile game series...

Pretty much. And a lot of those choices feel like legacy designs from when it was originally going to be a forced PVP game. Once you removed that, then they became barriers to enjoying the game. Looking at Tearofsoul's list and changes they have made or will be making, speaks strongly to the...

You're not speaking from a common perspective. The game massively punished you for trying to teleport anywhere with any manner of weight on you. Your faction not own First Light or Monarch's fort? Enjoy spending 200+ azoth a teleport. The rate of gain was low sub-50, and even after 50, it's...

I hope not. I tried to log in a bit ago and it was a 4k queue lol

I had forgotten about Upload -S1 was decent

You’re mentioning things that didn’t impact the casual player. War PvP, duped high end shit. Yes, it sucks, but your average player is more likely to stop playing if the game keeps sending them to far off spots and they have to walk 30 minutes to get there, or keeps charging them gold that...

Right, people throw fits over small reactors going into space, which typically contain a fraction of the radioactive material you would be sending up in a hypothetical waste dump scenario

End of the day, any time you have a system in place that lets a portion of players dictate the game experience for the rest of the server, and that experience has the potential to be adverse, you’re going to have a bad time Instead losing side gets a “fuck you, pay me” penalty

Pvp had an indirect impact, though. Travel costs and costs in general were tied to who owned the lands/forts, which was determined by pvp. As a result, it made the game experience frustrating to the Playerbase not engaged in that, which no doubt led to quitting The most recent PTR changes to...

A lot of this has the vibe of “I don’t understand these kids with their instatok and devil music”. It comes down to a few main categories IMO: 1) Skill - streamers who are really good at shit. This is the closest approximation to watching sports 2) Parasocial - basically “friend in a box”...

He isn’t a bad character, it’s just that you need to let him do things he excels at. Boba Fett’s midlife crisis adventures just didn’t make for a good story beat as presented

For gunslinger I changed the weapon swap function to a mouse button, but just 1. I’d rather quickly hit swap a couple times than waste another button for cycling. Much better than the default z c shit they use

That cost is from reusability, though. If you’re just yeeting ships into the sun, that drives up costs And no country is going to let you launch nuclear waste into orbit. Ignore failure above your own country, if it fails over another country now you suddenly have an international incident

The biggest hurdle to “toss it into the sun” is risk of failure in the rocket. If shit goes wrong with your rocket, congrats, you’ve just created a radioactive death plume

Yes, any new character goes to that angel thing and you can use the class tester if you want

This is why PVP centric MMOs inevitably fail and especially why forced PVP fails in the long run. Everyone thinks they are king shit until they aren't, then most just quit. There is some fantasy the hardcore PVPers have that the crushed will come back and try again, and that is true for a...

Dinosaurs existed in cold environments as far as we know. They aren’t iguanas.

Ya, subdural hematomas are no joke. Doesn’t take a whole lot for them to happen, especially if you’re on some manner of blood thinner

At least they have feathered dinos in this one

I kind of expected him to shoot him as well, but making him deliver an "eat shit" message to act as a distraction was pretty good too

For the talk of them censoring outfits or whatever, at least they made the noob gunslinger hat an actual cowboy hat instead of whatever the fuck they were wearing in beta. The beta hat looked like a 1950s stewardess hat or some shit lol

Episode 6 was probably the strongest "appeal to Filoniverse and OG fans at same time" episode of the run, including Mando. You had Luke, R2, Yoda callbacks, Ashoka, and Cad Bane all in a single episode.

What the fuck do those do? I've found some and it says I got points, but no clue what it means

Quest/MMO leveling is typically accepted better by players because it is leveling with direction and with an known end state. It also usually comes across as a "smaller" number. For instance, what sounds better: Do 5 quests to get 1,000,000 XP, or kill 100 mobs to get 1,000,000 XP. You might...

lol @ woke brands as a complaint. You new to media? Companies pay shitloads of money to get their products into a movie or show. Radio dramas and tv shows are basically vehicles to sell commercials and product placements and it’s been that way for 100 years If Coke offered you a million to...

Dear god no. AA points turned the game into an eternal grind that you could never catch up with

They probably saw player engagement could be higher on garrisons over farm if they made it more mandatory. Like you pointed out, the MoP farm patch was just a nice bit of optional content that got players logging in frequently just to care for them, so they expanded the net and more or less...

Yes, but they existed in the zones of WoD, so to speak. Even though they were instanced. So from a lore perspective, they feel like it doesn’t make sense. And their design philosophy basically discards prior xpac zones, with rare exceptions They need a housing zone that exists in some zone...

You could make arguments both ways, but having a consistent language you teach the players and then as you release new content, teach them new vocabulary is a good thing in my opinion. WoW it feels like they teach you a language, then randomly change the meanings of words

Stealing a comment I saw on Reddit, now he will be Robo Cobb

WoW def dropped ball for sure. They could have made some special housing zone that would be expansion agnostic and continued to build shit up instead of these “fuck around for 1 xpac then ignore”

They noted later that Eureka numbers weren’t that great in terms of overall active players doing it. Personally I noped out pretty fast because I had my fill of EQ1/ffxi style grinds - New World has probably been the closest. They’ll add that content because they know a portion of their...

She did, that is what that scene was. It was still cool

Fennec going all The Professional at the end was pretty awesome

Im not sure he is dead. They did a slow zoom in and made sure you both saw and heard a blinking light on his chest. I wouldn’t be shocked if he survives and shows up again later. Easiest way to explain is where he was stabbed was replaced with machine parts. End seems to setup Cobb running...
