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...

I do wonder if they'll even mention that - I doubt they'll mention Omega specifically and just stick to generic clone talk.

Level skips are catchup mechanics, but it is typically done once. I have a bigger issue with pay mechanics that want you to pony up the cash constantly

I doubt it- they will keep Hammil Luke and just use him sparingly.

In terms of timeline, we’re almost 18 - 20 years prior to when Kylo kills all the students. That gives them a lot of wiggle room to play around in and sidestep the matter

The hate this attempt to split p2w / pay to convenience, like they are different. At their heart it’s the same fucking thing: designing the game so players get frustrated and swipe their card to bypass the artificial problem they happen to sell a solution for

Sprouts usually get commended if they mention it is first time running content

Killing off Cad Bane next episode I dont think will happen. They'll probably keep him in reserve as a possible villain in Mando S3 or Ashoka.

So his answer is: made in Japan = weeb Which is the real reason most people say “weeb” it seems when they refuse to give concrete examples. It’s like old people who say comics are for kids and have no fucking clue there is shit beyond Archie and Superman

They can’t bring up examples, because then they’ll be forced to admit every western rpg is “weeb” as well “Omg, dungeons and dragons and Everquest has monks in it. Fucking weeb shit, I’m not playing that game “

Wildstar had some good housing systems. Unfortunately it didnt have enough other hooks to keep people playing.

Side note, FF14 used to have more skills at lower levels, but over the past couple expansions (especially around Stormblood) they went back and did some serious ability pruning. WoW has done the same - they'll go back and cull abilities, which used to leave you with skill gaps until they did...

Your powerlevel really steamrolls once you get late game, which makes normal mode a joke to be sure.

Ignoring FFXIV, player housing is a proven means of retaining people in a game, be in FF14, or TESO/Fallout76, or whatever. You just need to be to robust enough that the player feels like they can be creative, if that is their goal. Overly restrictive housing systems like SWTOR are less...

Most of the classes don't start to get their resource spender OCD abilities until around 60 of so which greatly increase your pool of OCD stuff, so prior to that the skill rotations can feel kind of slow. If you're in a simple tank n' spank fight that is - once they start making you actually...

I mean, they kind of hint at it. Din isn't going to be a Mandalorian and Jedi, but Grogu would have the potential. It would also help explain away why Grogu is MIA in the new Trilogy - he is busy on Mandalore.

The extra title they gave it is odd - like is it a soft reboot? The intro kind of gave me some DS9 pilot vibes

Ya, basically turns a wide area in Silent Hill. There is a notorious highway section near us that always has accidents when this type of fog settles in because of all the on and off ramps and turns in the road

How the movie pitch went down Studio: Roland, I hear you have a new movie idea? *Roland pauses his game of Mass Effect 3 and Final Fantasy 4, and takes a rip from a bong* Roland: ya man, like the movie is about the moon getting close to Earth suddenly and we get some disaster porn. But like...

Except he is supposed to be a clone

Even if you want a "pure" play through, get the cosmetic mods, like clothing and hairstyles and the like. The base ones kind of suck lol

Wait, that shitty BDO mechanic is here too? Noooooo

Not only that, but cosmetics you barely see outside cutscenes because you are zoomed out like a damned spy satellite in actual gameplay

I am not saying it can’t change, but it’s going to come down to who he really wants to target. If he goes with “play to crush”, then success wise the game is going to flop long term like Shadowbane or New World: Strong showing for a month, but then a massive drop off when people realize they...

I feel like the choice is a test - he cares less about the choice options he provided, but more about what drives Grogu to make a choice based on those options I mean we know he is probably going to end up with Mando regardless, and I suspect he will help Mando better use the dark saber, which...

It isn’t hate, it’s the fact some of the core mechanics they have released thus far have a proven track record of driving players away - the biggest standouts are forced pvp + dropping loot on death, and losing a large amount of time and resources if your town gets destroyed in a war in addition...

That is why Filoni has been good for the franchise - he is able to both simultaneously satisfy OG fans and the "newer" fans that grew up with the prequels and cartoons (with him being responsible for the cartoons that enhanced the prequels). The sequel trilogy failed to really generate any...

He does recognize the dangers. Think back to ROTJ. At the end they exploit his attachment to give into anger

Vanth knew the danger, but he got forced into it because he saw his deputy getting ready to pull his gun (notice he keeps looking to his side, trying to gauge what his deputy is about to do). Cad seemed to shoulder shot him then unloaded into the deputy. Cad is too good a shot, maiming seems...
