TERA was probably my first introduction to the “action combat” MMO format, which felt pretty revolutionary at the time. I do agree on the generic feel of the lore and quests and stuff. Healing was also weird - I remember that class that would poop out orbs you had to run over to get healed...

Sure they can. Just frame it as a "sins of our fathers" type deal. At least that is what they should do.

She had a kid last year from what I recall

Episode was awesome. Except Kwan. God she is so fucking annoying "I need to lead the revolution!" with the entire revolution dead and no one giving a fuck about some little girl thinking she is Joan of Arc

Ya, not sure how they explain that without it totally sounding suspect

The article makes it sounds like they might focus more on post Warcraft 2 through Warcraft 3 era story. I mean you really only have 2 options if you introduce Thrall 1) Do his leadup to WC3 where he gets educated, learns to fight, and eventually rediscovers shamanism 2) Just jump right into...

Gerrymandering should just flat out be banned. It’s bullshit that any political party can redraw district lines to give their party an advantage. Anyways, one thing to keep in mind is there are a lot of shades to the political spectrum. Massachusetts will elect Republican senators or...

Picard S2 is better than S1, IMO. This episode was great because Seven called out Raffi for her gaslighting bullshit lol

WoW, it’s almost like states aren’t hive mind collectives!

Recap New story, zones, loot New paragon type system where you can make subclass talent selections within your class

Florida is going to sink into the ocean anyways

Xpac reveal going live in about 13minutes on SquareEnix twitch channel

Those power pass outfits are not very appealing lol

I think everyone wanted a World of Starcraft, but they probably were puzzled on how to make something that wouldnt directly compete with WoW. About a couple years ago, I think they revealed that they had been working on a Battlefield-like game using the SC IP, but it got shuttered. Honestly if...

How to tell the age of people posting on Twitter: if they remember Junior did this first

Why? It’s the perfect time to do it 1) Mostly ignored feature that only stays alive because of onions for chocobos and a few other older crafts 2) Removed a point of contention about housing and potentially let’s them expand apartment sizes in future (only outside only things are gardening and...

The whole thing had that canned corporate feel. A bunch of devs talking to each other like they don’t already know the information. They’re just so afraid of live interaction now that they have to resort to this canned show. Even if you go pre-recorded, it’s better to be conversational with...

I kind of feel bad for that dev - the entire segment they just completely came across as they didn’t want to be in that video.

Island Sanctuary supposedly will have gardening. I wouldn’t be shocked if they completely remove gardening from houses and just push it over to Islands. They haven’t added any new gardening shit since Stormblood.

Eh it’s a double edged sword. Early WoW had a lot of pop culture references or meme stuff. A lot of that does age poorly - not that it is too “vulgar”, but you get some stuff that is less funny/clever or anachronistic. A beeper or VCR joke can be funny to older people, but younger people...

Ya, Ion said something like "flying in a sense", so it will definitely be some manner of incremental grind to fully unlock normal flight. If I had to guess, they'll probably do something where as you progress through each of the 4 zones, you unlock some dragon training thingy that lets you...

Didn't they slip some bullshit into their EULA in Starcaft2 or something where they basically had full ownership of any custom maps. Great way to encourage creativity - just say you'll get no profit from it in the future lol

The side systems were more interesting than the core xpac reveal, although that is in part due to how vague it was in terms of story. We go to dragon isle and stuff will happen. Granted you can’t blow your story load right away, but you want a decent hook if you’re trying to get players to get...

We Au Ra now

Communication in EQ1 was a side effect of its slow combat system - you spent more time waiting than fighting, and when you did fight, it typically required very little in the way of user inputs. Especially if you were a melee - auto attack and then maybe press some special attack button once...

Depends on how you classify that. I would agree that in a general sense, if you looked at the overall % of population where that was a strong influence, then that would be more the case in the past when the country was more religious as a whole. JFK had the whole issue where people thought...

FFXIV does all of the above Raids or Dungeons can drop housing items You can craft them - and some crafts require special items from raids to make You can get them as quest rewards You can get them from vendors (reputation, regular, or special currency) You can get them from PVP And most of it...

At this juncture, the game is really being held back by its engine in terms of what they can present. They had that major graphical update to player models like what, 10 years ago? Even with that, they seem to be limited in how complex they can make armor since a large majority of it is...

Gross oversimplification. It isn't so much Christianity, but the Evangelical sect of it that has been injecting itself into politics. Honestly I could care less what religion people practice. I only give a fuck when they try to force their millennia old doctrines on everyone through...

Cry more, shitter

I do wonder why they never developed housing - it sticks out like a sore thumb. There is either a limitation on the engine that prevents them from making anything more complex than a garrison, or they're just dumb.

Like others have posted, the Pratt hate brigade online seems to stem from the specific church he attends. AFAIK he has never said anything publicly that controversial, it is more of a "guilty by association" type of deal.

That is a long term weakness of the game. You need alternative means of "advancement" besides +gooderer gear.

Nice! I had tried for that one too and lost. Probably the best mansion plot in that zone, IMO.

That isn’t the reason why. FF14 lets you be everything on one character (although alt jobs are down leveled). Neither is omnicrafting - good fucking luck leveling up all your crafts anyways. If someone slogs through that mind numbing grind, they deserve to have the skill Alts just creates an...

This is the bigger issue - you need to add engaging content for people who don’t want to do mythic raids. Doing rep grinds for months isn’t engaging content If FF14 can fix its pvp and get people to love it, WoW can fix its casual content variety and complexity. In theory

True - the only thing you really need from the MSQ is the upgraded Azoth staffs

You're best bet is to hope to find a bored high level that will just power run you through the dungeon
