There are major downsides to most cloud servers. Physical servers you can allow more people in a single location and not melt your performance. WoW moved to cloud based shit a while ago and as a result, if there are more than 50 people in a single area, it starts to act like shit.

Samurai changes feel really good, especially for AOE. Before with AOE, it was clunky because you had to build your buffs using single target, then work into the AOE combos. Now you can just go straight into your AOE combos and get the buffs doing just that. Plus with the new level 90 skill...

Yes. Keep in mind they don't exist in a vacuum, its not like they are the only people needing stuff that uses semis. Same reason car lots at dealerships are like half or 3/4ths empty

I would disagree. Don't forget that Duarte & friends were basically helping bankroll Marcos' whole thing as a distraction and as a tool to make Laconia a thing.

FFXIV isn't Sony lol

Chris, you're forgetting that the game heavily encourages leveling other jobs. Slowing shit down XP wise would discourage that. As is, the XP gains were perfectly paced so that by virtually just doing the MSQ alone, you could play a single job and reliably hit the XP milestones needed to...

Finally finished the MSQ. Really nice wrap up for the main story that started almost 10 years ago. Story spoilers - dont click if you haven't beaten the game or care at all about story spoilers.

https://newworldstatus.com/ Doesn't show faction balance

If they went that route, it lets them set the show on Earth and have new things to explore in terms of story. When you think about it, SG1 has mostly been humanity sending its best out into the cosmos. What happens when the worst of mankind gets involved (besides the Senator Kinsey stuff lol)?

The cutscene wasn't bad - I think how it will be ultimately judged is what happens later. High Elf Sylvannis is acknowledging that what was done is unforgivable and she has to face the consequences. Even the bit about Frostmourne corrupting the souls/twisting people isn't too far fetched...

Best was nuking zerg players. If you targeted an overseer, the red dot would be obscured. Most zerg players never accounted for that and would try to find the red dot, not knowing they couldnt see it unless they moved all their overseers. Used to get so many easy kills that way.

So long as wars keep their current setup, anything that damages or CCs a large number of people at once is going to always be king.

Lost Temple and BGH were the best maps. I loved Lost Temple as a Terran, because you could fly a command center to the corner cliffs and turtle down and it was almost impossible for enemies to attack unless they went hard guardians/Battlecruisers/Carriers. And even then you could fend them...

Ya, a well played spear user is like fighting against a stunlock rogue in original WoW. You'll spend 80% of the fight unable to move lol

Re: the plan

Updated blog post

To help soothe the pain, here is a nice cover of a song from the good ol' days

Gold income is pointless if it doesn't re-enter the economy. As for the free orbs, you do get some free orbs eventually if you run enough side quests. I dont recall getting arena orbs for free, but then again I still have some side quests in reekwater I havent finished because they need a group

I've seen other games do the same when their population begins to crater. There was a BR game called Scavengers that made a lot of bad design decisions that resulted in the game being a ghost town. Until suddenly one day when matchmaking wasn't ass and your team would populate with players who...

That annoyed me in BDO as well. Race or gender locking classes is the most annoying shit in a MMO. TERA used to be the worst at that. Want to play this reaper class? Well, then play the loli race as your only option

Them sticking to the dumb tuning orbs in their current form causes a lot of that issue. No one ever runs the Sirens or Pools arenas, Laz/Genesis runs are few and far between. Especially on a lower pop server. They have extra content and move on with their delusion that by making them long...

Happy was weird as shit, but it was dark humor weird so it gets a pass. Kind of like Lexx

Devs already posted they plan to "significantly" reduce the costs when it goes live. They're also adding jewelry to elite chests/elite areas, so you'll have chances to raise your jewelry GS more regularly than you can now

YoshiP and crew have been warning for months about to expect issues. They had like a 10 page blog post detailing issues with obtaining servers due to the microprocessor shortage, etc. It sucks but they've at least been trying to communicate this for a while now

They appear to be in the process of doing the first server merge - 2 mid pop servers in EU (600ish average each) EU gets to be the guinea pigs lol

I was in an hour queue on Malboro, got to 1, got booted. Playing New World for a bit now lol

It was fine and the "gender" thing was more or less a joke. Spoilers for the season for people who want to know how it ends / goes Wrapped up the show nicely from what I thought

Additional PTR datamining is revealing some interesting bits 1) Watermark bump chance from chests and elites is being heavily nerfed - like half for chests and much more for elites 2) The water mark bump is you get is being halved at higher GS levels - like for instance, instead of getting a...

Perks of a lower population server - queue of 63 lol

So mixed thoughts on their additions The good 1) Adding targeted ways to increase the expertise is good 2) Increasing viable elite POI (Mal and Imperial) 3) Adding additional ways to target specific crafting attributes 4) Making dungeons more valuable 5) Admitting they overtuned some of the...

Ya the SAM positionals surprised me, kind of an odd add

The naval PVP in this game used to be the highlight for me - cannon duels, boarding parties, using different ship types to accomplish different goals. If there is one thing other MMOs should copy from Archeage, it should be the naval stuff

Glad to see that the screenshots forum is doing its part to keep the board members healthy

Well you can bucket it into two silos which can interplay off each other 1) Live Service Game stability/ support 2) RMT in your games (DLC, cosmetics, etc) #2 is bolstered by confidence in point #1. People will not be willing to invest additional money into "shinies" or "boosts" unless they...

You get lots of cosmetics, emotes, and even store credit for having prime. Check your Twitch Dumping and moving on is a bad idea - you set the tone for future games. If people see you dump shit early, they won’t support future releases

So I finished the book. Spoilers including ending

Turbo has no real titles of note and it released at an odd time. Pre-snes but post genesis. Once snes launched its fate was sealed
