    Broken Ranks cross platform mmrpg with turn based combat

    With a standard subscription, you pay a monthly sub and get to access all the content outside of full expansion packs. The only additional RMT is usually just cosmetics or stuff like server xfers, level boosts, race changes, etc. With F2P or Buy-to-Play, you usually see a couple approaches...

    Broken Ranks cross platform mmrpg with turn based combat

    There is a big difference between “pay entry fee and play” and “pay to do anything on an itemized basis because our gameplay encourages players to do this” The later tends to be more predatory in a lot of situations

    “No negativity” in that type of setting doesn’t mean all smiles and rainbows, it means “bring solutions / improvements” It’s easy to point out flaws, but without solutions, it isnt always constructive. It’s harder to bring up solutions or improvements to said flaws, but if the idea is sound...

    The problem is PvP has always been a small subset of this game. To be sure a passionate one, but still a small one. The story mostly served to support a reason for pvp, because they wanted “war” in Warcraft and could only envision a player vs player war apparently. Now you have a situation...

    They should just rename if the Tom Brady trophy at this point

    This is another annoyance in their story telling - the need to constantly hit the Horde vs. Alliance reset button like it is a old sitcom resetting consequences between episodes. All the possessed Anduin shit makes me feel like their storybeat will be a) Anduin becomes fucked up from the...

    New World

    The new patch does a few things wrong. Mutators have a bad mechanic - if your average gearscore is below a certain threshhold, then you do dogshit damage and mitigate like shit. So essentially if forces you to run the GS treadmill to even be able to attempt the new dungeons if you aren't...

    Having an Incubus option is fine, that was a common request going back to the 2000s. They just never felt the need to add one until they felt like it would get them bonus social credit points

    The Book of Boba Fett

    I suspect S3 will be more about Mandalorian politics/power struggle as a result. I mean don’t forget he barely did any bounty work in S2, beyond jobs that came up while moving Grogu around.

    Because sometimes fans can make a good product. A better example is hiring a car enthusiast to help design a car. Sometimes the enthusiast knows just enough about what makes a car work to help design a good one, even if they aren’t engineers. They know what works and what doesn’t, and can...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Was that something Anakin flew or just a random Naboo ship? I do agree that basically a Mando episode you can’t go wrong with. It’s smart really, keeps people excited for a season 3

    Doctor Who

    Smith was great - although Amy and Rory helped tremendously in that regard. They’re probably my favorite Doctor + companion grouping

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Alphi does improve a lot. He basically gets a massive reality check, learns humility, and gets an alpha chad role model to set him on the right path He’s basically a kid in high school at the start that learns lofty ideals and his own self importance amount to little in the real world - he...

    That’s a good theory, because I could see Furor doing that lol survival game could be cool if done right, plus I’m sure they gave leadership a hardon for all the RMT they can charge for cosmetics for base building.

    Patch notes. Mostly just potency buffs for various classes. One additional buff which is nice is Dragon Eye for Dragoon has a 30 yard range now. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/9325d2a5dae2ac34b9f970c803848e8fb1c3aaf7

    Who gives a fuck what they want to play. I have yet to see a positive opinion from any of them on any type of media unless it’s from the 90s or earlier

    The Expanse

    The book and show are pretty close in terms of adaptation. You could pick up book 7 and still follow along just fine. The biggest changes you would find are 1) Alex is still alive 2) Drummer in the show is a combo of Drummer and a belter pirate named Michio Pa. In the books, both characters...

    Who knows, but I suspect they couldnt find a balance between those two things without making the "job" thing completely optional. It sort of sounded like their idea was City of Heroes, but you have to be Clark Kent for half of the in-game day.

    Project Titan, from what has been revealed, was going to be like part-action game, part-life sim or whatever. Like you would work a job during the day or whatever, then at night become a hero or whatever. It's one of things that sounds cool on paper, but they could never make it "fun" and the...

    Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Activision side of the house was mostly to blame for this. They probably thought "Hey, we sucker morons into buying a new Call of Duty title every year or two, let's do the same for OW and make money!"

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    It was both - you could record and watch your own, or watch others. The main character was addicted to reliving memories of his time with a past love.

    It was profitable for Blizzard so long as they found suckers willing to buy team slots for the league lol

    Going f2p before they fix all the issues (assuming they can be fixed) is a recipe of further failure.

    That's adorable that you think humanity hasn't been carried by the few in spite of the dumb masses fucking things up throughout human history, like this is some new thing.

    The Expanse

    You'd be hard pressed to find many Filip fans from the books either. Some people tried to argue that Peaches was in the same category, but it's apple/oranges (or peaches if you like) Peaches: Kills some innocent people to frame Holden. I forget the ship death count, but it wasn't massive...

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    Realistically it will come down to main factors for the population at large 1) Price 2) Safety 3) Benefit But even before we get there, all that rests on us understanding the brain. There is still so much we don't know about the brain, our mind, etc. I think until we fully understand it and...

    It shouldn't be mutually exclusive, though. That is just bad game design to shoehorn someone into some ultra specialized role that brings nothing to the table except a raid buff, even if that person likes it. Even if they brought in other abilities to buff other buffs, then you get into a...

    I thought the wookie was security and had caught the aliens cheating. Nope, he was just salty and wanted to kill some folks lol

    Overwatch

    I doubt directly. But I was presume that his direct reports, and their direct reports, and so on and so forth felt pressure from the top and that manifested. They had a lot of investment tied up in OW/OWL and it (was) pretty profitable at its peak.

    DOTA: Dragon's Blood

    Auroth was Winter Wyvern. Kaden's connection with Crystal Maiden also makes it seem like he is Sven. I mean, people had thought he might be Sven because his signature weapon was a big ass sword, but him being all chummy with her makes that possible identity even more strong.

    Right. Kings buff for Paladins was a prime example - pick shitty talents that barely improve your character just to get Kings that was all but mandatory for raids. No one wanted to be the kings buff paladin. That was like being the enchanter that would cast tash and instantly die to the...
