Ya legacy loot was awesome. We had vox res sticks we kept recharging using the merchant vendor trick. Made it easy for monks to pull cleric corpses to safe spots then res them and have them log out to red the other corpses we would drag

Mistmore pathing was legendarily bad. Kedge Keep had wonky pathing, but you could exploit it to solo pull Phingel easy. I also loved the nova fish - one time I taunted a couple and swam by a group that was being a spawn stealer not respecting our camp so their own AOE would kill the fish and...

People spent time in groups in EQ1 because it was insanely hard to solo and even leveling was a slow process. Then because combat was boring and brain dead, people chatted to stop going insane. Wanting people to fill in the blanks to shore up shit game design isn’t good game design

Card system needs to be simplified maybe. I think the idea is sound - pick increasing number of talents to enhance your character. Some are almost must haves, like the one that turns your bash into a melee stab that 1 shots regular zombies

Sure, you need to interact to get best gear. That isn’t being argued. But the sole focus being +gooderer items isn’t what gets you a good community in a game, because other people are a means to an end in that situation

You’re conflating progression/loot acquisition with mmo community, though. That is the fatal error WoW made: the EQ1 mindset of “raid or get phat loot = only thing to do”. FF14 actually does a much better job of offering alternatives.

Vanilla WoW was just EQ1 2.0 - Vanilla WoW, while popular, was always going to be a time limited thing. Nostalgia wears off really fast. I doubt they will do WoW: An Azeroth Reborn either. Their engine, while old, isn't the main issue. It's the design elements as of late using that engine...

At this stage in his life, an easy paycheck is a no brainer. Even if he starts to command less over time, gives him a nice money bump before any inevitable retirement.

It won't be in France. No clue what crap they'll try to replace it with.

When the USSR collapsed not long afterwards, so the funding wasn't there any longer

It is rotting in an abandoned facility as well

Death touch was such a lazy mechanic, especially with XP loss and no way to mitigate it. All it did is force you to bring a shitload of tanks/people that could snap aggro to eat the DT and then you moved along.

We used to put Tunare whips on Daine to fuck with other guilds that were trying to beat that boss lol

His team has mentioned it was one of the few "safe" spots at Blizzard and no one has said anything. The only "damning" thing anyone has said about him is "he knew Alex!!!" and the EQ1 shared history. He would have been tossed on the sacrificial bonfire long ago if something was up. I strongly...

That hurt the Avengers game in part as well I suspect. You spend a decade watching the films, then they introduce something that while it originated in comics, you're used to the films, and everyone looks like "Great Value" versions of that mental image.

I just got so fucking bored of raiding. EQ1 with its endless trash clears, which became even more boring when I wasn't even doing the pulls anymore. Then a brain dead gear check bosses. 15+ hour raid marathons because of bullshit design in some spots. Then WoW came out and gave it a go...

This. Kumite can be more about control and precision at the competition level. Like if you do a forceful precise punch or kick, and stop before actual contact, that is scored as better than someone who makes full contact. It's much harder to go to hit someone, then be able to stop just short...

Hence 'Y: The Last Man". If you transitioned, you still die because you didn't change your genetics.

It keeps you out of the hospital/off a ventilator

I never bothered with Eureka, but my understanding was doing challenge log til around 15, then joining notorious monster trains.

So no one that matters, got it

Who cares if people train in the US from other teams? It's not like they're doing it for free and at the end of the day, our athletes are the ones who need to perform. That's like if there was shooting competition and both people were using an American made rifle, then the other country won...

A lot of employers in the past decade or so, when they hire people, make people sign employee contracts that indicate they agree to mandatory arbitration. Basically means you can't flat out sue through the normal courts - you have to go to an arbitration hearing where both sides present the...

No one walked out, but I remember the theater clapping as the screen going dark, then it would fade it and there would be a collective groan from the audience after like the 2nd or 3rd "false" ending

I love how even in the serious sections, Godbert still just wears boxers

If they actually can get the “mecha” grabber thing to work properly, that will be amazing to see

That South Park episode on the topic sums it up perfectly

OWL was mismanaged 1) Platform swap causes viewer numbers to crash, making it harder to attract investors and team owners 2) COVID fucks their planned “traveling teams” model 3) Stagnating game due to OW2 hoarding all the new mechanics/heroes/etc, resulting in decreased player interest

Fixed that for you

I got a beta invite from watching a streamer on Twitch play it for an hour. Only played 1 match - guy quit on the first map and the bots are brain dead. I'll try again later when people people are playing it But ya, its basically Left4Dead 3

They make fun of liberals frequently. The last administration was a pretty easy target for lampooning, though. The current one is pretty middle of the road and safe, so not much material there.

Youtube's algorithm just sucks. I subscribe to Doc's channel (not paid, just regular old youtube subscribe), but it almost NEVER shows up when I go to Youtube and among all the recommended stuff

It's like Walking Dead - the virus is just a plot device to setup the world

All I see is people who want a 2 month distraction and are upset they don’t get that, not understanding the dev studio doesn’t want a game that only has a population for 2 months then dies

Will it be in a browser? There is a former poster that can help you out there

She allegedly showed Twitch some manner of evidence, so presumably it was sufficient enough for them to not ban her lol

Tying upgrading gear to cash shop shortcuts is what BDO and Archeage did, though. Archeage had a massive bonus to whaling - it was almost impossible to get good gear without swiping a credit card because of how bullshit their gear upgrade system was. The way you are describing needing multiple...

Telling thing will be how long the posting is public. If it vanishes in less than a week, that is a solid sign they promoted internally.

All these last few pages have confirmed to me is this is another fucking p2w Korean MMO. What a shocker.

This is why we get shitty games. Gamers: omg, release the game already!!! Devs: Fine, here is game Gamers: Omg, this game is so fucking buggy. I want a refund, worst game ever!!! Devs: ... New World launches too early: Game is buggy and shitty, players quit and never come back even if it...
