    I think it's because enemies in DD2 have so many more ways to control you than they did in DD1 that encouraging solo play would probably make solo play experiences feel really bad.

    Did very well at day 2. Don't want to say more because I might doxx myself. 😛

    I'm locked into day 2 of the Calling! I played Uzuri. These were my matchups: R1 win vs. Azalea R2 loss vs. Dromai R3 win vs. Dash I/O R4 win vs. Dorinthea R5 win vs. Azalea R6 win vs. Dash R7 loss vs. Kayo R8 win vs. Maxx

    Yeah probably because they told him "stop remaking Cataclysm" and he wouldn't. Now that he left, Marc Merill says they're going to stop remaking Cataclysm lol.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    Yep there's jank, but if you embrace it, it's really fun. I could never get into Monster Hunter but after the third or so main quest in Dragon's Dogma (when the world really opens up), I was hooked.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    You should have an Eternal Ferrystone that you can use to warp back to Gran Soren, Cassardis, or Bitterblack Isle, or any of your Portcrystals whenever you want. Outside of those locations, yeah, Portcrystals are limited until you reach the postgame, when you can buy them in shops.

    DD2 has like three different booty sliders. Is that not enough for you?

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    This is pretty good. A bit heavy on the makeup for my tastes, but otherwise quite good. I do think it's quite difficult to make attractive females in the character creator, whereas males always come out looking great without even trying. I'm debating between three designs for my pawn: The...

    Got 2nd place on Uzuri at a local road to nats today and qualified. After banging my head against Victor for almost two months I finally cracked it. My only losses were to one Kano in swiss (but it was very close) and Kayo in the finals. I played against Brutes 5 times out of 8 games lol.

    You should absolutely use a controller.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    This is something I've never thought about but you're right. The indoor areas in Dragon's Dogma are exceptional. Compared to Final Fantasy XV, it's a night and day difference.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Roleplaying in a customer support ticket is one of the most insulting things I've ever seen.

    Victor is nuts. Drawing cards on blocking is so strong. I can't beat him on Uzuri.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Yes, spamming prompts is FAR cheaper than CGI tools. Nobody is using CGI for stock footage. That's extremely cost-prohibitive considering how expensive it is to higher the artists (you need a modeler, texturer, lighting artist, and compositor at minimum, and most of the time those people can't...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    AP will still exist and they will still be sending photographers to cover stories and events for news articles. For all of the after-the-fact for-profit documentaries, I guarantee you that if they have the ability to save money by generating something that looks just enough like the real event...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Sora is going to single-handedly kill the stock footage industry. I was on a Shark Week show last year and we had to pull a lot of stock footage of specific species of sharks doing specific things. There is not a lot of that kind of footage out there, and from what there is, it is extremely...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    At the very least, you probably won't have to worry about raid bosses. They're not really in the plan for this game (at least, not in the traditional sense).

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I really don't think it's necessary to have a Kelethin 3.0 in this game. Unless there's a bespoke new take on how to do a tree city, I think we just let Kelethin be Kelethin and focus on new things.

    The left tilt looks awful. Vertical tilt is fine (games have been doing that for decades) but horizontal tilt? They're smoking crack

    Went 2-3 and then dropped. I wasn't ready for most of my matchups. Oh well, I'll run it back next time.

    Flesh and Blood

    Meta is great right now. Playing field is wide open, there are some decks consistently getting top 8s but those are more due to the fact that they're more represented. Almost every deck has a reasonable chance into every other deck, with a couple of exceptions (Uzuri, Riptide, new Prism, and...

    Flesh and Blood

    Do you literally not know what a contract is? "It's not Rudy's fault for breaking a contract he agreed to because that's just who he is" is such a ridiculous concept. When you sign a contract, you honor it. Like an adult.
  24. Kriptini

    Flesh and Blood

    Did you read the rest of my post? Apologies if my snark offended you, but that shouldn't discredit any of the facts I gave you. LSS is not like Wizards where you can just break contract over and over again and it's water off the duck. They expect vendors to honor agreements, like "adults."
  25. Kriptini

    Flesh and Blood

    Part of the contract you have to sign in order to be an official retailer of Flesh & Blood is not to sell below MAP. If you sell below MAP, you are in breach of your contract and can have your supply cut off. Rudy was in breach of contract, LSS asked him to adhere to the contract, and Rudy said...

    Fractured - The Dynamic MMO

    I also haven't tested in about 2 years. My impression was that I liked the design of the game and enjoyed all of the content that I got to test, but control of the character and responsiveness of commands/abilities was so poor that it made playing a chore, let alone PvP. If that has been fixed...

    Buying this immediately. See y'all in the dungeons!

    Flesh and Blood

    New set is great for draft, definitely the best draft set they ever released. I'll be playing Iyslander for PQ season again. Her Lexi matchup is not great, but I like her better than Uzuri right now because she somehow gets less hosed by Dromai.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    They kind of did the opposite. While it's true most subclasses felt functionally similar to their counterpart at launch, that had changed pretty drastically by the launch of the 4th expansion (Kunark). Warriors: Berserkers got more AoE damage and threat tools, Guardians got more defensive tools...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    In what delusion are you living where people rerolled entire classes in games due to balance changes that weren't just people overreacting?

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Talents are a much larger balance issue than just having more classes because classes are discrete arsenals of abilities and stats while talents allow you to create multitudes of permutations of abilities (and sometimes stats). It is bizarre to me that you would argue that more classes are...

    General tabletop RPG discussion

    Pathfinder 2e is the mechanically superior system in the chunky fantasy RPG genre. As far as published books go... there's a lot of wokeism so I would generally recommend homebrew.

    Home buying thread

    Also, cost of living is way higher now than it was in the 80s. The home price to household income ratio might be similar to how it used to be, but if we look at net household income after cost of living expenses, the ratio is way worse.

    The D&D thread

    I like FanRoll, they have some liquid core dice that are really neat and also tons of metallic dice. The misfit dice bags are pretty reasonable and you can get some really neat stuff in those. https://fanrolldice.com/

    The Authoritative Final Fantasy & Bravely Default thread

    I love the Bravely Default series. They are class-based like FF3 or FF5, but (most of them) have narratives that are as strong as FF4 or even FF6. You'll level up multiple jobs on each character, borrowing skills and passives from each to make cool builds, or there might be some fights where you...
