    Ultimate finally killed my Steam purchase addiction. Fucking sales.

    New World

    New World really isn't that bad of a game, it has a lot going for it. But it also has problems with endgame and basic rvr design. And this isn't 2004. You can't get away with mediocre or endgame problems in the modern game space, too many good options out there. I've been wanting to go back to...

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    Mark Davis and his dad have always been "progressive" with their hires. Which has never bothered me since they didn't do the hires to be "progressive" but because they were good at their jobs. Art Shell, Amy Trask, etc. So this action is consistent with their history. The tryout I assume is...

    Haven't watched this. But they show that picture of her face every time I log in and for some reason it creeps me out.

    Then he works out for 2 to 3 hours. Not like the rest of us. Tom has a ton of drive and he works very hard at making movies. Drive and hard work tend to pay off over time. I give him a pass for his personal life, scientology, etc. Because he doesn't talk about it, hasn't had any "public"...

    The Official Guitar Thread

    Never been a Steve Vai fan, but he does have technical chops. Saw this video a few weeks ago and at first thought it was some sort of spinal tap joke. But Steve somehow managed to make this work. Thought it was kind of cool actually. Very Steve Vai though.

    The daily chores are a turn off. I like the chaos / guardian dungeons well enough, but not every day. So only do them on weekends, and maybe once during the week if I feel like logging on. It really hurts progression if you don't do them every day though. Confirmed altaholic so this game is...

    Love this show, one of my favorites. Well written, interesting concepts, great acting, the works. Not sure why others don't like it but it works for me. Imo, HBO just has better quality shows than the other streaming services. Just finished my Netflix run for the year and although they have...

    Lost Ark Online

    East coast servers are usually the most packed (with queues) in typical mmo launches. So going to a west coast server at launch is typically the best option for skipping that mess. And if you pvp the ping for local servers is always better. Seems like the bot issue is what really messed this...

    Ashes of Creation

    Games that reward griefers at the expense of carebares are destined to niche status or outright failure. Haven't followed this that much but if AoC has PvE servers or something where the carebares can quest and progress in peace then it has a chance at making boatloads of money. Has to be a good...

    Don't understand, why are west coast servers so afflicted (with queues) and the east coast are not? Usually east coast servers are more popular. I play east coast servers in mmos for the healthy pops, even though I live on the west coast.

    Ryan Leaf was a victim of his immaturity and the Chargers absolute ineptitude at providing him with the advice / protection young players like him need to survive. Leaf had some talent and moxy. I watched him against the Raiders back in the day and felt bad for him. Because the Chargers gave...

    Killing gold for casual players is not a winning strategy. I still believe that the fake MAU numbers hundreds of thousands of bots provide are why Amazon is soft balling this issue.

    Have played this a few times over the years. Never got very far but I enjoyed it at first. But now it just doesn't grab. Even my brother, big Elder Scrolls fan, doesn't log in anymore and he put tons of time into this game. Not sure what happened but yeah, it was kind of boring the last time I...

    It just seems like Amazon is letting the bots stick around because it inflates their player numbers. I have a hard time believing they can't get rid of a majority of them after this long. Sure bots will always be an ongoing issue, but this is ridiculous.

    Didn't want to derail. But it's a combination of gerrymandering by a supposedly "neutral board", and an open primary system where the top two vote getters go to the general. Which almost always results in 2 democrats being on the ballot. Plus ballot harvesting, all mail in, etc. All the common...

    Past time for a new rig for me too. But not looking forward tor to the massive power and cooling requirements of the current generation of options. Doesn't look like I have much choice though. I just really hate pc's that sound like jet engines.

    Don't play this game much during the week. The daily chaos dungeons / guardians got old pretty quickly. Not a fan of daily chores and after getting home from work, doing chores sucks. But I do play a lot during the weekend. I enjoy leveling up characters more than the dailies. Did powerpass one...

    Really wish Blizzard was working on a new mmo. This shit is old and crusty. Blizzard isn't the same company that created WoW but they still have a ton of knowledge about basic systems that companies like Amazon haven't yet figured out. And if they could keep the amount of blue haired freak devs...

    Yeah, I'm not usually one to care about bots too much. Part of the genre and impossible to get rid of. And don't even care if friends are messing with them. As long as they are a minor game issue then just ignore them. But when the majority of toons on the screen in every area of a multiplayer...

    So many fucking bots in this game. I mean how many people are actually playing this game? Was leveling another toon over the weekend and in every zone I seemed to be the only actual player. This is even in the last zones just before hitting level 50. Endless Zerk / Sorc bots running the exact...

    I think in a way they are looking at BDO and how those devs milk the playerbase with a new class every season or so. Works very well for BDO. Tons of people come back, buy new character slots, level the new class to max over a few months and then never play the toon again. BDO makes another 100...

    But if they wait a bit, they can will probably also get good draft picks, etc. Just trying to see their perspective. Releasing a good qb is not a positive outcome in the modern NFL. They may end up releasing him anyways. Again, I haven't really been following this. Just seems strange from the...

    Is Trey Lance ready and better than Jimmy? Haven't really been following this so I'm probably missing something here but Jimmy has been performing at a high level for a while now. At least from an outside perspective. Good QB's are very hard to come by. Is everyone so sure that Trey will be...

    All of that is very valid and good advice for later in the game. And if you are being efficient, the sooner the better. It's a very deep game, there is a ton to do.

    The endgame is also designed around grouping and raiding. But there is a ton to do before that is required. It's a huge game and most of you have hundreds of hours in. Different game after you've invested that much time. Fuck your attitude.

    Agree with most of your other points but not this one. There is a fuck ton of content that can be done solo in this game. Definitely not efficient going solo, but it is doable and enjoyable if you're not in a hurry to get to the endgame.

    Considered doing that but tend to take unplanned breaks and didn't want to come back to find out the guild had been given to someone else more active. I've become the worst kind of casual I use to look down upon in my raiding days.
