I used to try to run packs during non-peace periods to get more reward, but I always did it during off hours where the risk of ganks was extremely low Again, path of least resistance

All I know is if I play the game, go to mine some ore, and some cockbag standing on top of a 50 foot tall rock 2 shots me with a bow and I have no counter and they loot my shit, I'm done lol

The concept is basically a strain of cocepytcus fungus exists that can infect humans gets unleashed and infects the population (that is the "zombie fungus" that infects ants and basically controls their bodies to move them to an area where they eventually die that also happens to be a good place...

We would have actually gotten the “Godfather in space” that people were expecting

Most of the new player experience was focused on Monarch's Bluff and Everfall. They plan to revamp the other zones later.

I can't speak for Shadowbane later on after they sold it to that company in China, but the combo of super sandbox mode + punishing PVP is what killed it at launch. To get good gear or even maintain your existing gear, you needed a leveled city and NPCs. So if your city gets killed in a war...

Vin was pushing the TTRPG love before it was “cool”, he isn’t a pretender. Or at the very least, he wasn’t in the past

You can even setup an ingame alarm for specific times gathering nodes

This is what happens when Honeybunny doesn't stay cool

Preach and Zepla are doing a Haunted House decorating contest right now on Twitch. Only 2 houses in, but the 2nd one was fucking amazing for just a small apartment

Ya, some of the games were great. Tundra was just so dominate - clean sweep in finals. This was pretty good on the final day as well

Right, there is a market but a extremely small one. I'm not sure how much money is being pumped into AoC, but a small market presumably isn't what they need to break even. I don't doubt that AoC will have a big initial launch population. But if they decide to keep this Shadowbane style PVP...

It probably came down to the shooting schedule of Witcher wouldn't let him do Superman, and Superman was going to pay a fuckton more

Keep in mind many of those PVP legacy mechanics are what drove people away from New World: Expensive travel, punitive storage, PVP allowing a small number of people to dictate the play experience of the rest of the server AoC essentially wants to replicate all that stuff that people rejected...

The hype is basically the hope that this will be better than BFA+Shadowlands, as well as them dangling some nice talent tree nostalgia bait

You can’t craft at 625, highest is 600. You upgrade items with umbral shards to get them to 625. Although it should be noted the improvements between 600 and 625 aren’t very large - an extra stat point and some fractions of a percentage on perks being the biggest takeaways Also, mutations...

Leveling crafting is still expensive as fuck. The only "cheap" way to do it is go on chest runs, salvage items, and pray you get scraps that you can use to get free crafting XP. Besides, with their RNG crafting system (even when using items to reduce RNG), it's not like people are churning out...

The Seasnake show could actually be cool if they showed off all the Lovecraft inspired lands to the far south. Like that jungle full of deadly animals and plants, or that China inspired empire that battled against some ancient enemy, or that Mordor place full of dark magic and necromancers and shit

Pretty much this. Look at stuff like 7 Days to Die. It has been “alpha” for like 10 years. Patches come, but on a relatively slow time scale. Although not Project Zomboid slow (although I think they have a really small team that does work on this game on the side)

I suspect most of it is to discourage bots from harvesting the stuff.

Ya, the Return to Ivalice raids were a great love letter to FFT and FF12

The scorpion cave with the exploding eggs is the worst culprit. People troll the shit out of that one

The whole 2nd disc of Xenogears was shit. It was like they ran out of budget and tossed a bunch of random shit together to finish the game. It felt like a “clips episode”, with your main character sitting in a rocking chair and telling disjointed anecdotes Last boss of Secret of Mana annoyed...

Plenty of ways to make money now 1) 2x a day, you can get 500g from elite chests 2) 3x a day, you can get triple gold/xp rewards from faction missions 3) Lots of shit you can sell on market for money

Easier to access than BBC America. Even if you have cable, they always hid that in some higher channel tier

The combat in X2 was interesting and they leaned heavy into the eye candy fanservice outfits (like that one female villain having that massive cleavage neckline), but the story was ass

Cmon, that’s a reach. A rainbow contains a full spectrum of colors and they are giving you a full spectrum of colors to play with “Fucking Blizzard, instead of just giving us the primary colors, they gave us a prism spectrum of colors! Clearly this is an agenda!!!”

Key Arena was under renovation for years, which in part prompted the various International Internationals. I think the renovations are done now, but only semi-recently

I think they are changing venues for the finals The TI prize pool was relatively abysmal this year - only 14 million, compared to last TI's approx 40 million. Also concerns about bad production quality (no sound proof booths, sloppy segment cuts, etc)

Holy fuck, what was the end of that Thunder v Liquid game? That was amazing

It was a shame that Triple Triad in FF9 was complete ass compared to FF8. I'm glad FF14 copied FF8's Triple Triad for their in-game card game.

8 was decent, but uneven. The combat system was somewhat interesting, Triple Triad was fun. The plot was kinda meh, though, and the characters were sort of flat. 9 was ok, but for some reason I never really loved it. The Vivi stuff was good, but I didn't really care for the characters all...

My theory is someone decided to go make some food or take a dump after picking the option that implies suicide, then came back to the game and found Johnny giving them the secret option

I doubt it will be that much of a spoiler - they'll probably drop that lore nugget fairly early.

Fuck, EG already eliminated. RTZ shaved his head for nothing

Looks great. Given the team behind it, I have high expectations

They’ve been trying out lots of different hosts the past few TI and they’ve also been doing a lot more panel tag teams. Also, apparently 2GD is no longer an ass and they will be working with him again
