no-wow-discussion

[hardy forge]

That is around 14 quests and 3 cutscenes

[karmic kindle]

Months of content. Utterly fucking WASTED.

[hardy forge]

It gives an Yrel in bfa feel where you're like "wait wtf happened" like you skipped 2 seasons of a tv show

[glad grove]

I loved wow. And sure, ill miss wow. But dang, at this point it with every screw up piling up , not even talking about the bliz lawsuit situation, i feel like wow should just end. Bluz no longer deserves it, no longer deserves the money from it, and wow sure as hell doesnt deserve the injustice from bliz

[karmic kindle]

I think Legion should have come after Wrath of the Lich King, and ended the story there.

[glad grove]

Pandaland was a great expansion aswell

[karmic kindle]

It was. But people didn't take well to it.

[hardy forge]

All the issues piling up is why you saw 90% of all wow youtubers/streamers jump ship to other games,not necessarily mmos either

And you know what blizz says when they see that?
"You're part of the problem!!!"

[glad grove]

I liked the months before pandaland release. Everyone going arround as doomsayers being all " this is the end of the world of warcraft, we are going kungfu panda now". That stuff was hillarious

[agile mist]

Mists of Pandaria, in hindsight, was great. People regard it pretty high on the Expansion “tier list” … but yeah at the time - it was met with contempt

That’s a typical wow player thing to do and I’m not even trying to be derogatory

[karmic kindle]

I don't see how we're part of the problem when we are paying monthly for a game we used to love and are still only playing it for the sake of the company.

[hardy forge]

What blizzard is missing,is that treating your players like the enemy for years, wont work out.

[glad grove]

They dont care though. They only care about money. As long as it has nostalgic vallue, wow will always have plenty of subscribers who they can treat like trash all they want and still make money

[jagged valve]

well the multiple layered systems, time gating, trying to force players into content to have relevant characters has finally reached an inflection point- the lawsuit was just a cherry on top.

[karmic kindle]

Simply stop listening to the community when you're desperate, and do it all the time. Half of the WoW players can come up with better systems. Bellular, Taliesin, Asmongold, they have all given their input. And nobody listens.

"Hey Blizzard, here's a problem"
"No! We are fixing a different problem!"
"But that's not a problem"
"Sure it is, we just made it one!"

[agile mist]

The fact is, people forget that activision blizzard is a publically traded company too often.

Which is the root of the problem and it’ll never change

[hardy forge]

And thats exactly why a ton of people quit,and the use of "copium" has skyrocketed in usage.

The very fact that they were able to cobble together the 9.1.5 changes(the initial announcement) meant that they K N E W, since alpha,what was wrong with the game and they INTENTIONALLY didnt do anything about it until the game started bleeding

[jagged valve]

well it is the bean counters putting their finger on the scales why the game is in the current state it is- they want to make it harder and longer for players to progress

[hardy forge]

If the players need to bleed the game to get what they want,its only going to get worse its a terrible relationship to be in

[jagged valve]

there comes a point when more chores and busy work becomes an impediment and un-fun

[karmic kindle]

Blizzard will pull a Keem and say "Why am I still getting hate?" soon.

https://tenor.com/view/keemstar-hate-haters-why-am-i-still-gif-19379420

[hardy forge]

They already do all the time on twitter and the brainwashed blizzard white knights sicken me

[reef snow]

No.

[glad grove]

#make wow great again! Change the word anima to anime.
there. Everything fixed.

[karmic kindle]

I can praise Blizzard on some things, if that gets their dick hard. But they have to provide on their promises, start listening to the players, accept the help, and become a better company.

[reef snow]

Based and Panda pilled

[jagged valve]

as much as I hate to see it (hurting the low level employess at Blizz), the player bleed is the only way forward

[hardy forge]

I would urge anyone interested in the game being better, to watch the noclip documentary on how they turned ff14 1.0 from a catastrophic failure that threatened to sink the entire company into bankruptcy(so much much worse than blizzards situation right now)

Into the game it is now

If you dont have 2hrs to spare,just have this screenshot from.the vid

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/458724604450439168/901923912349286420/imgonline-com-ua-twotoone-YvsFYHajD4kIvoKt.jpg

[jagged valve]

Bean counters call the shots at ActiBlizz, and money is the only way to get their attention

[karmic kindle]

Blizzard would never do shit like this. They want to turn a certain CEO into Jeff Bezos 2.0, so they're too busy working developers to burnout to care.

The ones making decisions at Blizzard should just jump out the window and land on a mattress so they don't get hurt but still get shocked.

[hardy forge]

Everyone has this same opinion that bobby "gallywix" kotick is the devil,and that the game cant improve with him in the same company,yet they keep giving him money

[reef snow]

That's not blizzs call. He can only be fired by the shareholders

[jagged valve]

the numbers are tanking, there's no question about that- hopefully the shareholders take note

[karmic kindle]

"Can this expansion have four raids, at least, Mr. Kotick?"
"Will you be able to release it within two months of the last one?"
"Sir, that would leave no room for testing, and-"
"Release another store mount!"

[hardy forge]

I feel like the last 2 captaingrim animations perfectly show the situation

[reef snow]

They recently unanimously voted for him to remain.

[hardy forge]

I dont think it was unanimously

[jagged valve]

ya, next quarter let's see how the numbers are

[reef snow]

It was

[hardy forge]

I heard about a 53% of shareholders wanting him to stay

[jagged valve]

Warzone is bleeding like crazy as well

[hardy forge]

Classic is dead by blizzards own hand,where there's more bots than actual players,
And the season of mastery wont fix the botting problem or have enough new content to get people back

In retail,it took them 8 months to release 8.1, then they release 9
1.5 and they delay the only content people were interested in(magetower),exactly 1 month and 1 day after patch release so you HAVE to resub, and given blizzcon was cancelled,we're looking at a march 2022 release date for 9.2

[jagged valve]

the WC3 remaster and D2R releases are undeniable proof

[karmic kindle]

Right, I'll go take a nap. This conversation got rather stressful.

[jagged valve]

but people are idiots for pre paying

I can buy that shit with gold from WoW- no fucking thanks

[hardy forge]

Overwatch is completely dead with 0 content updates until OW2,of which we have no news of,
Starcraft 2 has been put on maintenance mode in 2019,
No news at all on diablo 4,

Hearthstone has a decent core gameplay,but they released their new paytowin mode mercenaries,that instead of being a fun slaythespire style pve thing as it was advertised, 80% of devtime was put into the pvp, and if you dont have the meta mercs, you get obliterated so hard its not even fair

[jagged valve]

I used to be a HUGE Hearthstone fan- the greed made me drop it, even though I got it all with WoW gold

[hardy forge]

And guess what,mercenaries packs are bought with gold same as normal hearthstone packs,so blizz gets to double dip with purchases

[jagged valve]

the amount of money needed to stay competitive in a year of Hearthstone play is obscene

I'd rather have my 3080ti, tyvm

HS is actually what brought me back to WoW- I wanted the Lady Liadrin gold card

I got a kick out of Naguura's FFXIV vid saying the hardest part was actually getting the game up and running- when I bought it on Steam years ago it took like 5 days of back and forth to set up payment- not a good first impression

[hardy forge]

Ayyy,another hacked account,how is it always the same copypasted message,youd think theyd change the bots after months

[jagged valve]

click and find out

tell us your findings

[hardy forge]

Id rather not 😂

[hardy forge]

Someordinarygamers channel has a video showcasing how it works

[hardy forge]

I prefer the site pc version than steam,because you also have to buy the expansion from steam too not the site

But yes,theres a reason why its called "the first boss,installing the game"
Or
"Mogstation(Savage)"

[jagged valve]

I don't even remember what the issue was, but I am no idiot and many others had the same problem, as I has to read multiple forums posts for a solution- but the average person would have given up

[hardy forge]

Yeah everyone knows about it,they havent updated the site since 2011(assumption,i dont have proof)

And then you're faced with the great filter that is the basegame(ARR)
Now i have no problem with games where the quality isnt immediately apparent like nier automata,
But there's a reason its called "the great filter"
As this very popular comment states

Yup, I told my friends the worst part about FF14 is their website and resubbing. Why it’s not easier I’ll never understand. A normal person would give up before finding it out

That sweater vest tho

That’s the Bobby special

Honestly taking a pay cut isn’t really significant

[hardy forge]

I just checked the news,but the articles have it right,he was forced by the other corpos to do this,because the main #1 thing ppl say about actiblizz is koticks pay, but,like 9.1.5 this is too little too late,and plus reducing his pay doesnt magically result in more content for players in the short term,which is the main reason of ppl living

[reef snow]

D2R was a success. Trying to say the online bugs make the whole thing bad, is just dishonest

<@&299347348847329281>

[hardy forge]

D2R is a success because its pay first,not subscription, but the player count has dropped off

[reef snow]

D2R was a success because it was a faithful remake. It also managed to do something blizzard promised for WC3 Refunded; update the cinematics.

[junior condor]

Meyy/Bebbe#9681 was banned | Spam

[undone apex]

Well success is a strong word.

Selling 100k copies in 8 hours as an indie dev. That's success.

Reselling the same game more or less, and making it more buggy than it was. Well. Not sure.

[jagged valve]

take a browse on the D2R forums- success is pushing it

[north verge]

skyrim in the corner like

3 rereleases

[hardy forge]

3? Thats rookie numbers, it has ateast 8

[jagged valve]

online play was a big feature of original D2

[undone apex]

Nostalgia is pushing it. Replacing visual assets which btw was mostly done by a different company isn't worth the price.

[frigid forge]

3 is lowballing it a bit

Skyrim was released 15 times on 10 different systems

[undone apex]

Ofc for them locking you into blizzard net is. If you have the launcher you might buy wow etc

[reef snow]

Offline play was always the main course of D2. Online is a side dish

[undone apex]

It's included. Soooo it might needs to work on launch. And it had a hell of a marketing.

The last update on warcraft 3 was more than 10 months ago.

So I hope you don't find any bugs because they are here to stay.

[frigid forge]

Idk, if I wasn't online on D2 then I was likely on a lan with my buddies

[reef snow]

D2R wasn't made by a different company. Vicarious Visions was absorbed by Blizzard and has had its name dropped. Speculated to become Blizzard Albany

[undone apex]

The assets were. And at that time they were a different company.

[reef snow]

No

[undone apex]

When was the merger ?

[reef snow]

You are confusing wc3 reformed

Before d2r was announced

[still sonnet]

I probably will when I’m rich again

Also pls wish me Good luck, ty it is appreciated

[hardy forge]

I mean,i dont think throwing more money at the company is a smart choice,especially given what many people said before that they have been proven multiple times to only listen to the players when they hit them in their wallets

But its your money,do what you want with it

I have an undead wasp

Lol so story time

I wanted pet wasps. Wasps live for 2 weeks. The workers. When kept in captivity they can live alooot longer

So i caught 6 wasps at a restaurant where they where an issue and would otherwise be killed

Most where already tired. They lived for around 2 months

But this last one i have was also doing worse around thst time

I thought she was dying, but then 2 days later she seemed fine

2 weeks ago i noticed uppon closer inspection she had that mold thing growing on her!

Turns out she did die over a month ago

But shes now doing fine again ❤️

[wise leaf]

wait....what

[glad grove]

So i have a pet undead wasp now ❤️

O and she even grown a tiny bit

Her abdomen has grown

Shes doing great

[wise leaf]

ngl thats pretty cool

[glad grove]

But it now also grows on imsects and even a gecko once

It keeps gettjng stronger too

Before it only would revive the animals for a few days tops

But i think like 2 years ago now, i kept a dead lobster alive for almost 3 months

[wise leaf]

that um....

[glad grove]

And my wasp is already 1 month. Like, 5 weeks ish

[wise leaf]

dead lobster alive lol

hmm...

Underwater it acts like a mold/algae/bacteria. Kinda odd. On land its a more pure mold form

Dune is pretty sweet, Sci-Fi that you don't need to make apologies for cinematically. Not dumbed down for children, the writing, direction, editing, cinematography and production values are all top notch.

Fucking Disney should let Nolan or Villeneuve do Star Wars .

instead they'll continue doing the paint-by-numbers crap they are pumping out

[fallen nexus]

Dune was a two hour movie that could've been presented in 45 minutes. Production quality was great, but they're milking it for no good reason, and that's the truth.

[north verge]

Isnt Dune getting a remake?

[wise leaf]

that's a hot take, but that's fine. I actually couldn't believe it was 2 hours and 20 mins long it just didn't feel like it was that long. unlike the James Bond movie

Isn’t that the book too? The book is long as hell but tells a fairly simple story weighed down by heavy politics

Nothing loads. I'm confused.

[timber crag]

[karmic kindle]

It made me chuckle.

[hardy forge]

Dune feels like you're cutting a movie in half, if the 2nd part is good,then dune 1 will be a "good film" to some extent,if there is no dune 2, it will be a "very pretty bunch of plotlines that go nowhere" because there is no resolution in dune 1,its all left up in the air

[cunning marsh]

Hello, I'm facing an infamous and weird error #132
I ofc tried every single options: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/8288
I'm out now so I'm looking for help

What's weird in my case is that my game is working perfectly if I launch it on my 2nd monitor but not on my main

I could test this because well, you can change settings from the config file

But that's pretty much it, so idk if it has something to do with my GPU but probably?

I updated drivers and stuff

[hardy forge]

It is probably the monitors resolution being weird,have you tried setting the games resolution to the same as 2nd monitor

[cunning marsh]

I never had this issue before

I guess it's the same resolution

[hardy forge]

Or launching it windowed on 2nd monitor,then dragging it,and making the window fullscreen on 1st monitor

[cunning marsh]

I haven't tried that

Lemme do it

[cunning marsh]

When I do that, it crash

What does that means?

[hardy forge]

Then it is most likely an issue with unsupported resolution

[cunning marsh]

I see, how do I fix that?

[tough escarp]

try updating graphics drivers

[hardy forge]

^

[cunning marsh]

I did, I've the latest update but I guess I'll uninstall and redo it

[tough escarp]

in that case you will have to play on 2nd monitor until they support the other one

[cunning marsh]

I used gameready update from the gforce experience software

[tough escarp]

kind of odd tho

[cunning marsh]

Eh

that's really odd yea

[tough escarp]

usually this stuff is rather compatible

[cunning marsh]

I never had trouble before

It's since the last update

[tough escarp]

you can try to mess around with graphic settings - might also think about switching from monitor port to HDMI or the likes

might also be an idea to actually open a ticket with CS

[cunning marsh]

What I don't understand is that why would my 2nd monitor work and not my main one
It's the same GPU running

[tough escarp]

hardware-near code is weird shit

[cunning marsh]

Fair, hope I can fix that quickly

That least I know what's the issue

[jagged valve]

run DDU and then install latest driver

it is odd behavior

[cunning marsh]

Alright, thank you

She was my best friend and the light of my life.

😭 i got rick rolled by the internet. Heard everyone talk about some dune movie. So i decided to watch. saw the most popular movie on .... wher ei wathc my movies online.... called dune world.

turns out dune world is not the dune movie everyone is talking about.

this is the worst movie i ever attempted to watch . https://www.voicesfromthebalcony.com/2021/09/13/dune-world-2021-review/

@glad grove OMEGALUL

didnt even know i got rick rolled. i legit thought i watched the real one and that it was just absolutely terrible and that the world had gone mad.

went on a rant online and people thought i was trolling. i thought they where trolling when they said it was good

but ye. thanks to them i now know its called dune and i just found the real one 😩

but dang. hundreds of people out there are getting trolled with this fake one atm

picked up an ultra short throw projector- Dune thrown onto the wall is pretty schweet

[tough escarp]

I have been thinking about that

But instead started plastering my home with screens

[karmic kindle]

Got any mic recommendations?

[jagged valve]

most of the good ones have settings for wall color balancing. Laser and DLP ones have enough brightness and contrast not to need a screen

[tough escarp]

yeah - a good freind actually also painted his wall with a special white that is best for projectors

[jagged valve]

plus they are portable enough to take with you, lend to friends and family

[tough escarp]

I actually got a PCI-e sound card with a stereo mic

[karmic kindle]

I was using a Blue Yeti but I've heard mic peak complaints. I wanted to change it.

[tough escarp]

maybe you can just change some settings?

[jagged valve]

Yeti is pretty good, I imagine it might be specific to your set up and could be compensated for

[karmic kindle]

I could.

I'm expecting things to get harder for Asmon for a while.

[cursive tree]

I may not like everything Asmon says but after listening to more streams and such of his content, I respect him.
Condolences to him for his loss. I know that they had a very strong bond. I can't even bear the thought of losing mine.

[karmic kindle]

His room is already a mess. Maybe he's gonna pick a cleaning habit because that's what his mom would do.

[hardy forge]

In his FF streams he was already a lot more "zack" and a lot less "asmon"

[karmic kindle]

It's never easy losing a loved one. He will need time to come to terms with it.

Be it months or years.

I do suggest, however, that his adoring fans will make things easier.

He's got a few dozen thousands of people supporting him.

2FA saved me

[karmic kindle]

I left my guild Discord after some kid there started DMing me the N word in all caps, sending gifs of someone's eye being torn out and spamming calls.

After that, I disabled DMs from random people.

That kid was a real piece of shit. I hope he's unhappy.

[tough escarp]

there was a guy stalking me for a few years - he would make new accounts and send insults

[karmic kindle]

"Why shouldn't I troll people? I've got online anonymity!"

[tough escarp]

havent received anything for over a year now

[karmic kindle]

Honestly, this kid was only annoying in DMs. He was actually pretty chill in parties and raids.

But when he started sending gore, I drew the line. Told the GM, the GM didn't want to kick him, so I left.

[tough escarp]

his last DM:

[karmic kindle]

There are no good or bad trolls. Only pieces of shit, annoying people who just want to go about their day, for entertainment.

[tough escarp]

he kept calling me "the bad troll" or "the sad troll"

[karmic kindle]

The uselessness of these people exceeds critical levels. I would forbid them from using the internet if I was their guardian/parent.

[tough escarp]

the guy had posted screenshots of people being mad at him after being an idiot in chat
when called out on being an idiot he started stalking me and others lol

[karmic kindle]

"How dare you make a good point against me? I will ruin your life because you're right but I still feel bad about myself!"

[tough escarp]

he just kept getting banned with all his accounts

[karmic kindle]

And, this is why my new guild has an 18+ policy, and any bullshit gets people kicked.

No insulting others, no creepy DMs, no NSFW or any sort, and no trolling. Heated discussions are a different topic.

Breaking these rules results in a ban. And I think that's for the best. We have our core raiding team and everyone behaves well.

[timber crag]

Hi

[compact ibex]

Oh no

[timber crag]

(i think you're supposed to be sharing this in #share-your-irl-pets)

[compact ibex]

You are and discord changed my channels

[timber crag]

(also I don't recommend sharing that gif unless you slow it down or give a warning)

[compact ibex]

I did and a spoiler tag

But it's only 15 frames,

[timber crag]

give a warning that it's super fast i mean

it could cause someone to have an epileptic seizure

gave me a headache, but that's just because i get overwhelmed/sensory overloaded easily

[compact ibex]

Fast doesn't cause then, if it did people would have them so the time

Most gaming is 30+ fps for a reason

[timber crag]

it's fast and stilted, also it differs per person

some people are effected by speed

some people are effected by light saturation

or sudden changes in light levels really quickly

it depends on the person and the severity

[compact ibex]

3-30 fps anymore more than that it doesn't happen if it does it's very rare, look it up

[timber crag]

your gif made me sick and dizzy and i don't have that disorder. Imagine what it would do to someone who does.

the amount of frames doesn't matter. it's the fluidity of the motion that does. Your gif was not fluid, and instead was very choppy and fast, which causes a severe, rapid change in lighting and a lack of proper focal point. This can confuse the brain and cause potential harm. Not just to those with a disability, but also to those without.

that's why people give warnings about things with bright colours or fast movements or choppy frames. Because it can cause issues and has been proven to do so

im not saying this to be rude.

[compact ibex]

Like I said it was 15 fps, and they are caused at lower frame rates. I've yet to disagree with your point it would cause

That's why I said a warning and spoilered it in the first place, so you are only arguing against yourself cause in no way shape or form did I disagree with that

[timber crag]

your warning was "i made a gif of my birds, but i don't think discord is ready for it"
which i guess could be a warning, but it's vague without context
i suggested that if you reposted it to put a clear warning or slow down the gif, which can be done by duplicating frames

[compact ibex]

So you just like arguing I see

Well GoodLuck

[timber crag]

no, i just feel very strongly about things that could potentially send someone to the hospital

[glad grove]

to be fair... if a person is that senive with their seizures... browsing discord may not be the best idea in the first place...

not saying sharing gifs ment to cause it for the purpose of trolling is ok, but like, normal stuff can also be fast and at some point, it can be hard to find the line.... and yea... when you are that sensitive to it, you know that theres quite the chance you find random shit that triggers it online. also, theres special monitors or settings or something to already lower the chances. and glasses... but even then. if you are very sensitive with that, browsing stuff like discord isnt the smartest thing

[rotund shard]

Perhaps it's best to ultimately let the mods decide if something is suitable or not?
And just ping them if you think something is inappropriate?

[glad grove]

true. and i know there are gifs and emotes people made purposly to trigger it. and that shouldnt be allowed obviously

but like, some times normal stuff can be fast too and yea... if you have a version that is so sensitive that it gets triggerd with normal stuff, then pherhaps its not the best idea to go on discord etc.

[rotund shard]

Right - but anyone commenting now didn't see the gif; and is kinda just... beating a dead horse

So its probably best to just leave it

[glad grove]

true

only dead horse worth beating is invisible. and i already have that mount so 🤷‍♀️

o and midnight

thats a dead horse thats definitly worth beating

Seems to me it’s buying time

Ok!

I didn't know

[karmic kindle]

I hereby announce that mechanical catgirls are possible, but we lack founding.

[marble glacier]

no one tell Elon. As a society, we're better off without

[north verge]

wat does it mean when/if they buy blizzard stock?

[north hawk]

If you HAD to buy a Dell for wow, which would you get?

If anyone can help me it's appreciated, ty

[north verge]

a working one

[marble glacier]

Most of their XPS and Alienware models will play WoW without much fuss

[north hawk]

Does AMD vs Nvidia matter?

[marble glacier]

You want one with an external graphics card, even if it's a low end one, because you can always replace it later.

That's like the windows vs mac debate.. every nerd you talk too will have their own opinion

mine is green - nvidia all the way

[north verge]

i use nvidia aswell

[marble glacier]

and with the dell configuration tools, when designing a machine, if the maximum upgrade amount is included in the price, that means it's NOT upgradable. You want to buy the model that has a 32GB or 64GB RAM upgrade available, even if you don't actually take it..

[north hawk]

Thank you

[jagged valve]

I would not buy a Dell

[marble glacier]

I wouldn't either, but they specifically said if they had too

[jagged valve]

A friend of mine has an Aurora, it's already going tits up

[marble glacier]

when i was in university i was a repair bench tech.. saw two different alienwares come with the plastic processor protector still on, covered (dripping) in thermal paste

[jagged valve]

in that vid, they market it as watercooled on the box

it is truly shit

[reef snow]

Alienware went down the drain after Dell bought them

[north hawk]

What would you suggest?

[jagged valve]

you need a prebuilt?

[north hawk]

Affordable

Im not savvy about builds

[marble glacier]

budget? and where are you located (state is fine in the usa)

[north hawk]

TN, under $2k

[marble glacier]

my dude

[jagged valve]

best thing is to get a local shop to assemble, if you aren't able to

[marble glacier]

a budget that high can get you a pretty crazy system

i was expecting you to say 500 or less lol

[north hawk]

But I dont know what to do lol

[marble glacier]

do you know what Lego is? and do you enjoy it?

[north hawk]

Well teh cheaper the better, thats why I was going with Dell was for finance :/

[jagged valve]

well if you are motivated enough, you'll learn

[jagged valve]

go to you bank

or save

[marble glacier]

I have built thousands of machines - used to have my own business pre-pandemic building gaming rigs professionally

i will be happy to help

[jagged valve]

, honestly, I would rather get a gaming laptop than a prebuilt desktop

[marble glacier]

free.. or maybe.. a few mythic carries 😛

[jagged valve]

most of the prebuilts are shit, and risk damage in shipping

[north hawk]

I was always under the impression that desktops were better than laptops

[marble glacier]

desktops are - laptops are crammed to be thin and compromises are made

[jagged valve]

well, this person wants to finance

[marble glacier]

if you want to finance, your options are limited - you may get financing at a local computer shop. Bring a quote here and we'll tell you if you're getting boned or not

[jagged valve]

unless you NEED the portability, I always suggest dekstops... but with no local option, I think a gaming laptop might be better, full warranty, etc and they are usually higher quality than "gaming" prebuilts

[north hawk]

Do either of you have maybe a website with custom builds that I can look at for specs?

[jagged valve]

ASUS is good value for money in gaming laptops, my last 3 laptops have been with no issues at all

[north hawk]

To know what I need

[marble glacier]

see, i like laptops for general work and use - but the moment you add in gaming and proper external graphics cards, you start getting into heat dissipation and price points

high price points*

[jagged valve]

$1400 will get a decent gaming laptop right now

[still sonnet]

My gaming laptop was a bit over 2k and is great

Like enough to compete with gaming towers

[jagged valve]

and you can external gpu later

[jagged valve]

I run a 10700k @ 5.1gHz and 3080ti, no laptop can compare

[still sonnet]

Say that in non-nerd lango

[marble glacier]

can confirm.. i run a relatively old machine.. i5 4590k @ 4ghz with a 3080ti.. it's like having a lambo engine in a 89 civic

my machine still takes wow at full specs 4k 60fps in oribos without struggling

[hardy forge]

the problem with laptops in general is overheating,and for gaming laptops,incredibly poor battery life

like we're talking 1-2hrs at best

i have a laptop with a gtx1060, is p cool but i prefer pc

[jagged valve]

there are trade offs with everything in life

[hardy forge]

i wouldnt bet on the fact anyone can get a Gpu right now, cough scalpers

[jagged valve]

what do you covet- portability or performance?

[marble glacier]

i actually use a chromebook when outside the home.. it's not the best, but it does everything i need

[north hawk]

Performance

[hardy forge]

i wouldnt game when not at home,so more or less any laptop that isnt sluggish to use normally would be fine,just happened to find a big sale on this one

[north hawk]

I dont want to lag so much, my loading screens are awful and I just want the game to run smoothly

I cant even multitask. If I have a browser open everything freezes

[hardy forge]

poggers

[marble glacier]

you can build a pretty nuts system for 2k after tax/ship

[jagged valve]

[buoyant tangle]

I'm not sure if that ones a scam or a warning

[buoyant tangle]

Hey, is this just a warning article

[north verge]

i wasnt sure either so i pinged sorry

too sus to click

[buoyant tangle]

Same

[frosty tundra]

Yeah it's just an article about it.

[vagrant flower]

Yes it’s a warning

If you read the picture it says it right there

[north verge]

didnt kno if it was just another way to scam my bad

literally anything related to that nowadays is sus

[vagrant flower]

They almost got me on another discord server so I figured I would warn people

[tough escarp]

tbf the scam links look just the same 😛

[undone apex]

Use the stranger danger mentality you don't know them you don't know the site -> google search the site. Don't fckin click it see opinions if there are no opinions it's a scam also.

Don't fckin click shit a rando sent you you get e chlamydia and it's gonna burn.

FUCK

I JUST WATCHED RIOTS NEW SHOW

omg

😭

its so sad omg

[reef snow]

PFFFFFFFFFFFT

[fresh osprey]

that 2nd point is stupid

for wow

FFXIV has MORE shop items than wow

and also charges a sub

shitting on a community outreach program that hasnt even started yet

"fun emote"

that is the most biased PoS ive seen in a while

[frigid forge]

NMS isn't even an MMO or in the same genre category, either

But yeah, goddamn, this language is ridiculously biased to the point it can't be taken seriously

It's so bad it feels like a parody of someone trying to roast wow

[still sonnet]

i dont listen to stuff like that

idk i just think its dumb and super biased

[frigid forge]

Juvenile-tier bitching and shade tossing

[reef snow]

🙄

[north verge]

ill miss being spit on after buying a new store mount tbh : (

it was always funny to me

[frigid forge]

C'mon Wynter, even you gotta admit the language in that shitty meme is whack

[reef snow]

Nah. It's pretty accurate, tbh

[frigid forge]

Riiight

[north verge]

ive no ieda what no mans sky is
but technically it is kinda accurate other then the community council but i dont have much hope in that tbh, also cash store stuff is fine cuz u still get free shit with 6 month other then that tho, the other stuff is right and annoying

also CAT MOUNT BEST MOUNT

[frigid forge]

Meh. The image is just opinionated, flavor-language packed vitriol like the kind you'd find in a 4chan thread

[still sonnet]

facts

also what gum said, NMS isn't even an MMO

[frigid forge]

It's a sci-fi space exploration sandbox sim

Which is basically just single-player+

[north verge]

yea no ieda what no mans was

[frigid forge]

It was another victim of gamer hype and bombed at launch because it wasn't what players hyped themselves into wanting

[still sonnet]

i didnt really like it

[fresh osprey]

tbf, E3 trailer was literally a lie

and so was a lot of other stuff

they wanted to do one thing - sony forced them to rush it

[frigid forge]

I wouldn't call it a "lie" since it still had the appropriate disclaimers, but yeah, they did get rushed like mad but eventually put in the things in the trailers as well as add a few other things

[fresh osprey]

no it was literally a lie

literally none of the trailer was randomly generated

they manually modeled the terrain, creatures, and ships for every part of the trailer

there was a lawsuit and everything

which they lost

because the E3 assets didnt use any of the engine generation stuff

was it overhyped? yes

was it also a lie? yes

[frigid forge]

Still a completely different category of game

[fresh osprey]

yes

that graphic is fucking nonsense

[frigid forge]

Oh, definitely

[fresh osprey]

"why does wow have a sub and a cash shop?"

you know that FFXIV charges for transmog, mounts, class skips, and music right?

"but wow bad!"

[frigid forge]

"Players can't code anyway so w/e" gave me a sensible chuckle

[fresh osprey]

🙄

[frigid forge]

lol one of my buddies was getting trashed earlier for paying for story skips

God, can you imagine the backlash if Blizzard offered paid campaign skips

[tough escarp]

But they could do it.

[frigid forge]

could =/= should

[karmic kindle]

Can you imagine the backlash for copying better games instead of coming up with something original?

Wait, shit, they copied Diablo 3 with the Keystone stuff.

Thankfully they didn't introduce over a hundred floors to burn through, only thirty or something.

Which the average Joe won't get anyway. It's weird to think they'll get even +10 done.

[hardy forge]

I do agree that the image is biased "wow bad", however i think it was pointing out the developers actions mostly,so thats why NMS is on there

NMS's major problem was putting a developer with no public speech experience, he was talking about their plans for the game,not what was reasonable to do within the launch window,he was a terrible choice for a spokesperson, the same way ion has been a terrible choice for game director, he is/was a great raid designer, but not a good director

[hardy forge]

He was getting trashed because of two reasons,

1. the story is actually good
2. the playerbase in general doesnt approve of cutscene skippers
   While the covenant campaign in wow isnt amazing,and the overall story theyve been pushing recently is not well liked by the lore community.
   And it also goes back to what even the wow devs themselves have used as a reason for why flying is not at launch "by flying right away,you're wasting all the works the devs put into the zones by flying over it" which could be said the same for voiceactors and all that

[hardy forge]

I dont agree with the cash shop,in any game,but from what ive seen on forums, the people "tolerate" the cash shop because the game is actually good, which isnt an excuse for it,im just relaying what I've seen on the forums

[hardy forge]

Thats the entire reason game mechanics arent copyrighted
||except the nemesis system from shadow of mordor,they tried i think 5 times over several years until they won the last one somehow||
taking inspiration and giving it your own spin is one thing, copying wholesale is questionable, especially if you make it worse

[karmic kindle]

It can be considered plagiarism.

[spice thistle]

Unrelated but

UWU poggers

[hardy forge]

Grats mak

[spice thistle]

Ty daf

[hardy forge]

Now do ucob e.e

[spice thistle]

Also about the chart I think they were trying to relate how the games do talk to the players instead of their genre

That's the plan!

UCOB too since I have 2 more weeks before EW

I literally resubbed yesterday and i looked at my bars like "wtf does this shit mean"
