If they are taking it for weight loss only they are going to come off it at some point. Without changing their food habits they will balloon back up immediately. That's not being judgmental, that's just being honest. I wish the best for everyone in their weight loss efforts. Being morbidly obese...

We disagree on the impact. For a server like THJ the other players are 100% optional, so unless you choose to play with them what you or they do in terms of XP pots is utterly irrelevant. Same with the economy, social competitions, etc. You can do everything 100% solo, and in fact a lot of...

Was up until 3:30 AM last night. Finished the book. Loved it.

If you are on it for life for the beetus, then awesome. If you got on it for weight loss I hope you changed your eating habits so that the changes are permanent. Stay healthy, bro. Need you alive and well to get the minivan rolling.

I like my doctor, but I absolutely do my research before going in if anything funky is going on that I want help with. Google symptoms. Read mayo clinic and webmd and wikipedia. Ask him for his opinion, and talk about solutions. He's a nice guy, and genuinely wants to help, but he is also a big...

Sorry, but win is part of the word, so how it is defined is extremely salient to the conversation. That is something that differs from server to server. For servers where there is no competition there is no win or loss condition.

You might be, but it doesn't appear either of us is.

Congratulations, we both win! https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=yiff

It's the definition of winning that causes it to be a variable. There is no actual 'win' condition on a solo server. You are not in competition for anything with anyone else. There is no tangible benefit from reaching max level or anything before others. It's like using nitro on an empty racetrack.

The acronym is young incredibly fuckable furry. As a verb it's just the degenerate horny behavior they engage in.

Yiffing has been unlocked!

Now it's your wife and children staring at you as if you were some sort of savage?

Haven't been there in a year or five, but they used to have a decent reuben as well.

I would love some olestra from time to time if they still made those chips. A fully purged small and large intestine would be nice.

No, those give you dick cancer.

From what I have heard so far this is meant to be a solo server. Your personal enjoyment is the only thing that matters. There's no competition other than what you and whoever you want to compete with make up. If tradeskills and baz are useful, great. They probably aren't going to be required...

Yourself. And only yourself, which removes the win aspect of p2w. I guess it being just a convenience is a win if you really want to just be done faster. Or have friends you want to play with, but can't invest the same amount of time due to RL.

My lane is that for games with proper instancing it is fine to sell QOL and convenience because it only affects one person. THJ did the exact same thing, and that was one of the things that made it so fun. EQ sells the same thing, but I don't know how much/often they do proper instancing. I...

When progression is entirely self only, like THJ or what it looks like they might be doing on EQL, where everyone can instance all the things, then it is not p2w at all. If this was mnm where they plan to shove everyone in an uninstanced hellscape where everyone has to out dps everyone for loot...

Were there any powerful rewards for the racing on the TLPs, or was it just sperglords sperging?

EQ sells xp pots and giant bags, and has for decades. Who the fuck are you racing against? Any argument that xp pots are buying power is fucking retarded or bad faith. Growth has an end point. When you reach it, you reach it. If you want to sprint there and pay extra, go for it. It doesn't...

In a lot of cases that may be true. That is one of the mechanics gacha games use, which is why I don't play them anymore. EQL is EQ, though. Yes, DBG has an ROI they expect from all this, so they do have to monetize, but it's also based on a game that had camps that took weeks and months to get...

They don't change their habits, which is why they blimp up immediately afterwards. If you aren't going to be on the medication for life, it's just a temporary bandaid. There is no escaping from the science. Eat less calories. Permanently. That is the only way to get to there and stay there.

It was approved for diabetics in 2017. It wasn't approved for weight loss until later. That was when demand went through the roof.

They are small, slow, and incompetent. That is why this will never see an actual release. The incompetence starts at the top, and goes all the way down. Joppa has ADD, which is why nothing ever gets fully fixed or finished. There is no management at any level holding people accountable for...

No. Pay to skip tedium != p2w. Honestly, if you find the in game way too tedious, that might be an indicator you might not want to play it. Tedium is 125% pure EQ, and why we all remember the epic quests. So far, I haven't heard anything that would make me not have fun, but the proof is going to...

No, but it makes it unique. Tedious and p2w are subjective terms, so whatever you are meaning by that probably should be clarified. The only thing I have heard about is xp pots, which... not p2w in my opinion. There is no benefit other than saving a little bit of time getting to cap or farming aas.

I did pay for bags in THJ. No ragerts. Will happily pay for bags in EQL if that's on the menu. The general sentiment here means fuck all, because noone here has played EQL yet. I am ignoring the hype trains and doomers alike until I get a chance to try it out. I would like to get into beta to...

Take the wife out for a camping trip then. Or if that's not her thing talk to your family. Dad, uncles, cousins, nephews, etc. Find someone who also enjoys that kind of stuff and just make a plan to spend a weekend doing just that.

They are making a game. Until it is released it won't be better or worse than itself. You can compare it to other games, but that is irrelevant. If they want to offer $$$ unlock options, that's fine. As long as the in game method works, that has nothing to do with me. Long ass camps for rare...

Either way, not touching this thread again until I have devoured it. Shit is gonna be *weird*, and hopefully in the best ways.

You are a slave to the Margarita.

Got my Amazon notice that the book has shipped and is expected to be here tomorrow.

The emu community better hope EQL succeeds too, because they are in the crosshairs whether it succeeds or not. Its success is the only way DBG is going to allow them to continue. They only care about $$$, and letting people run free servers doesn't put any in their pockets, and ostensibly draws...

Keeping it separate from all access is fucking retarded, but it is probably to test the waters and to specifically monitor how much EQL brings in.

It was also unlicensed and as such illegal. That's why it is gone, and this is being attempted. It might suck giant floppy donkey dong. It might be better than THJ (unlikely, but non 0% chance). If they want to charge a sub it better fucking well be better than TLPs.

I would imagine with a few bits of +10 gear it will be trivial for most classes. My first alias/persona will be a brdcuck, even if I only get to have one pet. The pet AAs and slow from BST will be additive power boosts for MAG pet no matter what. So I have to clear to isle 7 PoSky no matter what...

There are regional foods in every state in Japan. If you want to do 2-3 weeks just join a tour group and see the whole country. There are probably specific foodie tour groups that do just that. If you are going to do 1 week just focus on Tokyo. It is fucking huge, and one of the major culinary...
