All of it just works.

#

Especially the sheer mental horror at the story.

#

Very few games make me feel sick to my stomach like that game did.

#

Lots of philosophy and questioning of what it means to be human.

#

Just a 45 hour constant gut punch of emotions. 10/10 would erase my mind to play again.

#

Just really wish I could cut out the experience of playing it for the first time so I could do it again. Maybe one day.

I can totally understand the first bit

but holy fuckballs, you messed up if you got stabbed without a loisence

ornate cedar

Almost as bad as stabbing someone

I'd say worse

ornate cedar

But stabbing isnt nice

small comet
#

depends on what kind of stabbing

im stabbing a fist like hand

but not having loisences and going out to do shit that require them is bad

extremely bad

@flat frostthis is the community mode thing

unborn spruce
#

Oh shit, bois.

#

Activision is facing a massive lawsuit for their work culture.

#

Turns out they have a fratboy culture where women are extremely disrespected and abused.

hot spire
#

More blizzard than the Activision side though isn't it?

unborn spruce
#

So California, apparently being very unimpressed, has decided to bring them into court.

#

Nope.

#

There’s the suit for anyone interested.

#

29 pages of it.

#

And such wonderful things like women not being given higher pay or positions because they might get pregnant which would mean paid maternity leave.

#

Or cube crawling, in which the guys get pissed (yes, extremely drunk in work) and go sexually harass women randomly all day.

#

What a shitshow this is!

unborn spruce
#

They’ve been merged for so long that I’m doubtful there isn’t overlap there.

orchid prism
#

A lot of this predates the activision merge.

unborn spruce
#

I know, I’m reading through the suit as well.

#

But the merge itself? Culture overlap isn’t unheard of.

#

Ah, actually nevermind. Looking further into this it’s heavily in the WoW team to the point that one coworker suicided on a company trip after having naked photos passed around during a work party. :/

#

And y’know, months of harassment.

keen urchin
#

Not excusing any of this, but...
Don't work there if you don't like it?

unborn spruce
#

Not always an option, y'know?

#

What if you have kids? Suddenly you kinda need the paycheck to afford a good life for them.

ornate cedar
#

According to the allegation, they did inform HR first who failed to respond. Didnt keep the complaints confidential and failed to protect them from retaliation from their superiors.

keen urchin
ornate cedar
#

Keep in mind you are enjoying the US labour laws

unborn spruce
unborn spruce
#

:/

#

California especially isn't' so friendly to that rn.

ornate cedar
#

Also hard to get a job when they have the ability to get your name blacklisted in the industry

keen urchin
#

It's much easier to find employment in the US than e.g. Germany

unborn spruce
#

Several sources all mentioned this kind of behavior.

keen urchin
#

There's more than one industry...

unborn spruce
#

Dude, if you get paid well in Activision and it takes both time and money to find another job as well as training, it's not always possible.

#

ESPECIALLY if you have dependents.

#

On top of that if you know your manager won't give you a good reference and you're in your late 20s, why is someone going to hire you?

keen urchin
#

You make it sound hard, but it really is not.

unborn spruce
#

Let's say you've been working in Activision for 4 years, only 2 of which you've been perm, which employer is going to hire you and pay enough for a family to live off?

ornate cedar
#

Still, why does a court need to do HRs job

unborn spruce
#

Sure, you can do labor hire easily enough.

#

But that is NOT consistent.

#

And what? Go to maccas?

#

Because Activision can't do the job of basic human decency?

#

It isn't always an option to just move jobs, not always.

#

For the ones that it was? Yeah for sure, get out of there.

keen urchin
#

I've switched industries often enough to know that they only care about one thing: you doing your job. Everything else is just fluff.

ornate cedar
#

Standard professionalism would be a reasonable demand from a company especially when it deals at HR level

unborn spruce
#

You've switched industry. What about your skillset? What do you do?

keen urchin
#

What do you mean? Currently as a machinist. Before that, warehouse management

unborn spruce
#

So jobs that apply to a wide range of stuff and have high value?

#

So what you're suggesting is a warehouse hire a graphical design artist that is, not only a woman, but also in game development for physical labor?

keen urchin
#

Yes, they will

unborn spruce
#

No, they won't.

#

They'll go through a labor hire company and grab 50 muscly guys in 2 days because it's cheaper and easier.

keen urchin
#

Of course. A paper plant will also hire a female baker as a machinist.

unborn spruce
#

Yeah no.

#

A lot of the time they go through labor hire and keep the good ones.

#

Cheaper, easier, little to no paperwork, none of them require compensation for injury since the labor hire company will pay for it in exchange for an annual fee.

#

So no, a random graphical design artist isn't getting an intense physical job when the company can merely put out a notice that they need X amount of people to labor hire and then keep the good ones.

keen urchin
unborn spruce
#

Then there's the matter of training. Typically you want people that're either trained or have experience.

#

And for most physical jobs you don't want women because of the lower upper body strength.

ornate cedar
#

Also significant is that Activision-blizzard has broken the law alledgedly. And we shouldnt let them go free because the victims could just leave. The criminal is to be punished

keen urchin
#

It's unusual to find already trained personnel for any skilled job

unborn spruce
#

That's the entire point of labor hire, mate.

#

You put your skillset and licenses up to a laborhire company and they'll just find a place for you to work.

keen urchin
#

Sounds like they got you covered when you need to leave, then

unborn spruce
#

Got a forklift license and 5 years experience? The places will be fighting over you and you'll get a notification from the company telling you who you're working for, where, what time, and required stuff.

#

From there the hiring company will typically keep the good ones.

#

But it's so competitive that an unexperienced woman with no licenses has almost no chance.

#

At very best you'll be moving stuff around or doing deliveries.

#

That's it.

#

Not nearly enough to support a family.

keen urchin
#

If you think so. I've seen different things. You're too pessimistic, I believe

unborn spruce
#

I've worked it, man.

#

The hard fact is that you get so many guys lining up for labor hire that're better suited for the job.

#

Call me sexist or whatever, but on average a woman isn't suited for high intensity labor.

#

On average there just isn't enough upper body strength, and because of that it gets physically dangerous.

#

Nobody wants to pay medical fees, so they don't do it.

#

Now, if you have experience it's a whole different story.

#

With experience any labor company will hire you, doesn't matter.
But we're talking people coming out of a game company with an awful reference.

#

That is not conductive to a decent job.
As I said, either moving stuff or running delivery. Not enough to support a family.

#

And in any case this is moot, Activision shouldn't be letting it get to this point in the first place.

ornate cedar
#

Gaming

unborn spruce
#

That or people with a forklift license.

#

Y’know how easy it is to get employment with one of those?

#

It’s just a free money ticket.

unborn spruce
#

That's actually how you even get the forklift license around here.

#

Nobody hires you without experience, and so you need experience to be hired to get experience. Gotta know a guy.

different build number just so they can force an update

fringe salmon

but marketing/pr can claim they tried to address it

young crow

they tried to fix it once

unborn spruce

#

Tarkov is just such a disappointment.

#

Not even because of the cancer gameplay.

#

No, it’s because the poor fuck is attached to BSG. :/

#

Poor Tarkov.

young crow
#

gameplay isn't bad

#

players are braindead though

unborn spruce
#

I disagree.

young crow
#

to each their own

unborn spruce
#

Bots pulling 180s on you and destroying you through slits in doors is not good gameplay.

young crow
#

oh, bots dogekek

#

yeah raider ai is retarded

#

raider ai has two states

unborn spruce
#

Roommate plays it, y’know how often that happens? Jesus fuck.

young crow
#

either braindead or aimbotting you

small comet
#

do they have laser accuracy like arma3 bots?

remote yoke
#

git gud

unborn spruce
#

Yes.

#

They’re like A3 bots except they also see you through slits in anything.

young crow
#

your roommate doesn't know how to avoid raiders then

#

without good armor

unborn spruce
#

Slightly open door? GET READY FOR ANAL, BUCKO!!

small comet
#

so

#

ure roommate is a sub

#

not a dom

#

good to know

unborn spruce
young crow
#

scav bot ai is normal, you can literally just ignore them with good armor

unborn spruce
#

Nah, he’s pretty good at Tarkov, it’s just the bots are aimbotty.

#

Usually he takes in good shit, but goddamn.

#

Random bots carrying around powerful shit or slightly good ammo will destroy you with aimbot.

#

Not sure if you’ve seen the vid, but someone godmoded to see the recoil pattern for the bots.

#

What recoil pattern.

That's your prerogative. 😄

#

Bets! Place ya bets!

small comet
#

i mean

#

this has been smth we wanted for so long

#

i highly doubt they gonna implement it for the probably last expansion of the game

orchid prism
#

The game hasn't been this popular ever...and people are forced to put character wherever they can.

#

I really don't recognize any of your arguments.

small comet
#

uh

fringe salmon
#

it's not coming soon

small comet
#

this feels like any new expansion tbh

orchid prism
#

Your weak point is... this isn't a new expansion. It's 4 months BEFORE a new expansion. This is where people take breaks, not overload the servers.

unique bane

#TheShamanOf14

fringe salmon
#

well, time to finish SHB this weekend maybe

small comet
#

i cant really imagine a reason to play ffxiv except prepping for next expansion

#

but sure

#

magic player increase

fringe salmon
#

because lots of new people join and they have lots of MSQ and all to do?

small comet
#

ya but why do new people join

fringe salmon
#

I mean I disagree with mansen because I know this is how SE do things, but also I'm certain on endwalker release the playercount will be even higher

#

because new player + old ones returning

#

tbh both sides of this argument are kinda weird

unique bane
#

only reason to play FFXIV is there is no other decent PvE trinity mmorpg atm

#

until Pantheon that is

#

PvE games are running pretty thin

orchid prism
#

Or you know... the story

small comet
#

wait

orchid prism
small comet
#

did the story change since shadowbringer release

#

must have missed smth

orchid prism
#

No?

unique bane
#

I gotta agree the story is quite nice on ffxiv

#

and music

orchid prism
#

The dynamic music in raids is delightful

#

Transitions are silky smooth.

small comet
#

so the question still stands

#

why now

#

nothing new in those points tbh

trim rock
#

Big name WOW streamer started playing so now all the lemmings join

orchid prism
#

I feel like we're having multiple conversations rm

fringe salmon
#

hype after fanfest, wow exodus, big streamers joining

#

like idk if you are seriously asking why now or if its rhetoric

orchid prism
#

Why now? Because they recently made an official announcement that it was coming very soon.

small comet
#

and yet we didnt get it

#

so why would now be different

orchid prism
small comet
#

which is also known

#

and has happened a good amount of times

orchid prism
#

... yes?

small comet
#

like before this year

unique bane
#

@small comet why now? because free 14 days and finally got time to play and nothing to play for ages mmo-wise.. I don't care about stupid WoW streamers, though Quin/Mansen hyping it up here definitely might have affected it.. a bit..

orchid prism
#

I give up - I can only repeat the whole literal "THEY SAID SO" argument xD

small comet
#

ya cause i def trust what sqex says

orchid prism
#

It was literally in the Steam patch notes.

#

And... if you don't trust the developer... then why are we even having this discussion xD

#

The Green men on Mars said so. There - Much more reliable source than literally the folks in charge of the game.

small comet
#

uh no

fringe salmon
#

they have had multiple recent announcements about servers and what exactly they will do

#

that combined with the last info about the feature definitely points toward cross DC not coming soon

small comet
#

like trust is prob the wrong word but sqex has disappointed more than enough and while i like the game i wont believe a promised thing until i see it with my own eyeballs in the game/beta/alpha

unique bane
#

huh I get 4k exp per quest and I need 800k for lvl at lvl 50

#

wtf is this

fringe salmon
#

you are doing the patch quests

#

aka the quests that come after realm reborn

#

but are not part of the next expansion

#

so you don't get to HW as lv 59 and do lv 50 quests

#

once you are in HW the xp spikes up again

#

and doing MSQ alone is enough to follow along xp wise

orchid prism
#

And then some.

#

I was level 62 at the end of Heavensward.

#

(That includes the patch quests*)

#

Similar thing after Realm Reborn.

#

I hit 50 much earlier than the main story expected, so I was overleveled for almost every quest towards the end and lost access to abilities.

#

And if you grind just a bit for marks, you can buy overpowered gear for the next expansion and get a real headstart.

#

(And then add your chocobo helper for even more)

unique bane
#

@fringe salmon damned quests, it gives me the same group gear that I already have lol

unique bane
#

;b

unique bane
#

uff, now im on quest to go thornwood hard

#

and nobody is queuing for that what do?

fringe salmon
#

try at a time when more people are on or ask in a city or so if someone (preferably healer) has a minute to q with you and you'll likely find one in no time

#

the hard trials in arr are sadly a requirement but not frequented by anything so it can take longer than any other part really

What a waste of time

orchid prism
unique bane
#

Like let me kill some mobs

small comet
unique bane
#

or dungeons

small comet
#

but if ure endgame

#

its the only msq u get

#

and since theres no new levels

#

they give almost 0 exp

unique bane
#

I'm lvl 50 and I spent 3 hours running and I got 10% exp

#

wtf

small comet
#

i doubt 3hrs

orchid prism
#

So ... Take a break, level an alt job or do the social thing?

small comet
#

if u literally spent 3hrs on that

#

u did smth wrong

unique bane
#

No

fringe salmon
#

because as I told you yesterday, that is a non expansion quest line and you get massive xp once heavensward begins....

small comet
fringe salmon
#

why would you want tons of xp when everything you fight will be lv50

unique bane
#

How do I force finish it

orchid prism
#

I'm splitting my game time about 50/50 with Chocobo Eugenics and Dragon...blood? The second expansion.

small comet
unique bane
#

Can I skip that?

orchid prism
#

The one after

fringe salmon
#

stormblood

small comet
#

ya

#

oh right

orchid prism
#

Riiight.

small comet
#

second expansion

#

lol

orchid prism
#

Heaven was all about the dragons. So...much...dragon. oh and elitist elves.

small comet
#

on the topic of chocobo

#

need to do mini cact for today

unique bane
#

Anyway if I have to run 10 hours of some lvl 50 quests before it lets me progress into 2nd expansion and same thing for all expansions.. Yeah keep that lol

small comet
#

its literally like

unique bane
#

I can't even check how much I have left

small comet
#

30mins max

unique bane
#

yeah sure bro... lol

fringe salmon
#

I mean if you dont care about story at all, sure ff14 is the wrong game for you

small comet
#

i dont care about the story

#

and ARR lvl 1 to stormblood end was like 1 weekend

#

including the shitty cue times for some ARR dungeons

orchid prism
#

As Mr. Cox so eloquently puts it. It's not an MMORPG, it's an RPGMMO.

#

The narrative is basically the main set piece.

small comet
#

idk whats going on

#

except dudes with swords killing each other

unique bane
#

riiiiiip

small comet
#

i could also level up mining

#

but i hate DoL

#

more a DoH kinda guy

orchid prism
#

TLDR you're the mortal avatar of a talking crystal god. Oh and anyone can summon giant creatures using prayer and large quantities of cocaine crystals. Which you can exsorsize

fringe salmon
#

I mean sure you can skip all the story, or buy a lv 70 booster etc. but like why ignore so much of a good story that makes like half the content?

orchid prism
#

I mean pretty much.

small comet
#

u become the shadowbringer in one of the expansions

#

idk which one that was tho

fringe salmon
#

s2g if you had spoiled something while im still halfway in that expansion

small comet
#

wait u havent finished shadowbringer yet?

#

ok so basically

#

someone does something

#

and u stop it

orchid prism
#

Can't wait for Level 70 when apparently cool Samurai clothes become a thing xD

small comet
#

thats what the expansion is about

#

no bueno?

orchid prism
#

Potat.

small comet
#

i just love astroglobes

#

the characters hold them so cool

#

yes

#

its called glamours

orchid prism
#

YesNo

small comet
#

basically me without glamours

orchid prism
#

If you want to do race changes or body changes it costs. You get one free sample and then it's 10 bucks?

#

Hairstyles and such. Ingame currency iirc.

Costumes? Think WoW. You can apply looks onto other gear.

#

It uses some ingame currency items you can buy or craft.

#

Nothing real money about it.

small comet
#

its also so cheap to buy

#

u can literally just go on a market board

#

half poor

#

and still just do it

orchid prism
#

The game even lets you set up social costume sets for cities, if you're into roleplay or just having a certain look while chilling.

small comet
#

never used glamour plates

orchid prism
#

My current gear VS...

#

How it looks after I glamour it.

fringe salmon
#

you can make a decent looking sonic/mario/luffy or traditional samurai

#

so you got options

orchid prism
#

Of course that isn't to say their microtransaction store isn't full of weird and cool looking clothes. Or the "Golden Saucer" the ingame gambling place's many weird shops.

unique bane
#

@fringe salmon I quite like the story but so far all of the quests are just talk npc - teleport to x - talk npc get gear. I guess it's some catchup quest that are way too long.

fringe salmon
#

did you do crystal tower yet?

#

the 24man raids

unique bane
#

No

small comet
#

bruh the catchup quests are like 20 to 25 max

#

and as u said its only running round

#

doesnt take long

fringe salmon
#

crystal tower is a seperate quest you need to do to continue MSQ so maybe do that now if you want to fight

#

it's 3 separate dungeons

#

or alliance raids

unique bane
#

@vital wyvern if u like more archeage style mmo I think AoC would fit you best

#

Or Pantheon hehe

orchid prism
#

Pretty quick though - Especially if it's stocked with people being overgeared and mention tactics.

unique bane
#

@vital wyvern Albion online 🙂

fringe salmon
#

you start the quest by talking to a hooded guy in revenants toll

#

iirc

orchid prism
#

Yep. At the city square.

ripe tendon
#

ever play Wurm or Wurm Unlimited @vital wyvern ?

orchid prism
#

Hooded Figure or something. The game specifically tells you to do it.

fringe salmon
#

well you can do it before the game tells you about it iirc

orchid prism
#

Probably. 😄

ripe tendon
#

I think I would love the Wurm games if they were slightly more modern

#

Something about the movement really puts me off

fringe salmon
#

almost lv 80 and I'd say about 70% or so done with shadowbringers from what I can guess

#

though I did do most raids in the other expansions, but no other sidequests

small comet
#

the only thing really sandboxy in ffxiv is ur own house/room

orchid prism
fringe salmon
#

orchid prism
#

50% bonus event rn

#

Made 450k MGP so far.

fringe salmon
#

ye ik

small comet
#

idk how the gold saucer finances itself

fringe salmon
#

but I wanna finish the story

small comet
#

big cactop never pays out less than the tickets cost

fringe salmon
#

it's financed by illegal money printing to bring down the sultana clearly

small comet
#

also u can get this as an exchange prize

#

only thing why im doing gold saucer tbh

orchid prism
#

Fashion Week is like 90K a week. And I might as well save up for future items.

small comet
#

what

#

no

#

thats only now

#

psure by default its 60k

orchid prism
#

Well yes

small comet
#

only 280k MGP to go

#

and then i have my korpokkur kolossus

#

me like

#

what i hate is that this means i dont have a nice even number carrying around

bleak pike

man

#

its pissing me off

#

it happens in way to many games

#

mostly DX12

fringe salmon
#

no rgb software did not fix it?

bleak pike
#

i have no rgb software and turned off rgb

fringe salmon
#

are yous till running hw info int he background?

#

one things that made me thinkg it could cause issues was your 12v reading

#

that seemed to fluctuate a bit and since I remember you saying your house power is shit

#

could maybe be that? but that's a random guess

bleak pike
#

I'm

#

Um

#

@fringe salmon ill plug it in the wall directly ye?

fringe salmon
#

what

bleak pike
#

Atm it's plugged into an extension lead

ornate cedar
#

Maybe uncurse your hardware

bleak pike
#

Shall I plug it into the wall

fringe salmon
#

I mean this line in hwinfo

#

I think it was not the same for min/max in your last screenshot

bleak pike
#

But shall I plug my pc into the wall do you think

#

Or well worth testing

#

Vs my extension lead

fringe salmon
#

wouldnt hurt to try it yeah

bleak pike
#

Hmm

#

Might need to try and find a longer one

fringe salmon
#

oh also @bleak pike have you tried any stresstest like time spy or unigine superpositon that is DX12 and see if you can get the lags there? would make it easier to change things and try it rather than in a game

hot spire
#

the rail voltage meausrements on pcs are shit

#

the corsiar psu ones arent bad

fringe salmon
#

ik there are issues, but usually they are at least consistent

#

and since he had issues with his power in the past that's just something I noticed

#

bc otherwise I'm running out of ideas what it could be tbh

keen urchin
#

Oh btw, Quin
Last time I wasn't talking about his CL18 being bad, but rather the 990 tRFC, which seems extremely high to me

what is that game?

fringe salmon
#

new world

wheat kraken
#

a whole new world

bleak pike
#

*damn

#

pretty insane numbers

ripe tendon
#

I guess they're insane numbers but not surprising. It's a new MMO. People like to try those, esp when there's a beta

#

Maybe not Crowfall but something major like New World isn't surprising

#

yeah probably. or more than 4 combat abilities

#

I mean I'll probably play it if I can find it cheapish for something different but every previous build has felt pretty average to me

orchid prism
#

Very jealous of my nextdoor neighbor. Very lovely interior decor 😄

fringe salmon
#

you got a house??

orchid prism
#

Only an apartment.

fringe salmon
#

ah

orchid prism
#

Not even lv80 yet xD

#

How would I get that many millions, much less a spare lot.

fringe salmon
#

that's why I was so confused lmao

#

speaking of, I just hit 80 AGsaberyay

orchid prism
#

I've basically just landed in Japan in the game 😄

fringe salmon
#

ah, yeah I like that theme, also great music for some areas

#

ngl in one or two I'd sometimes run and not walk with chocobo so I can hear the music of the area

orchid prism
#

Haven't gotten quite that far yet - I'm still stuck in the trade port 😄

ripe tendon
#

What term do you all use in MMOs for a passive to activate? I've only ever heard of "proc"

orchid prism
#

Proc.

ripe tendon
#

Somebody in chat mentioned they didn't know other people used that term and I was like what other term exists for that?

unborn spruce
#

Typically proc.

orchid prism
#

I have never heard anyone refer to it as anything else. So... shrug

unborn spruce
#

I’ve heard one or two others, but no.

#

Once it was ‘activate’... just why?

#

Proc.

keen urchin
#

It's been a proc since the 90's

fringe salmon
#

programmed random occurance

ripe tendon
#

yay acronyms

keen urchin
#

A game isn't fun if you don't need them roo5Head

Can you password lock a nintendo switch? I cant see a way in settings

bleak pike
#

No I don't thibk so

#

Maybe under parental

ripe tendon
#

You can pin lock/password lock purchases I believe

#

but afaik not from general use

fading spade
#

ooh, how?!

ripe tendon
#

not sure. but I definitely remember being annoyed by it

small comet
#

nintendo switch app on phone

#

then set playtimes for ur "child"

ripe tendon
#

yeaah, child sounds familiar

small comet
#

its all parental control related

#

sadly nintendo hasnt been able to do a general pinlock since the wii/ds

#

always was parental shit

ripe tendon
#

that's unfortunate that it's handled that way

small comet
#

yes it is

#

altho thanks to the switches mikrokernel build it could get this added in the future

#

id love a general locking of the entire device tbh

#

the problem with the switch and its parental control is that u cannot remove them without internet

#

switch basically phones home to fetch configuration files

fading spade
#

ffs ;-;

#

The only "locking" you can do is to prevent people making purchases in the eShop by making it ask for your account password each time you try to make a purchase

small comet
#

u can also just

#

lock the playtime to a minimum

fading spade
#

Thats not the locking I want

small comet
#

then it needs a pin afterwards

orchid prism
#

Maybe put it in a closet? xD

fading spade
#

if the Switch gets lost, people could just go insane on your account :/

small comet
#

uh yes

#

dont lose it

orchid prism
#

Step 1 : Don't lose your Switch.
Step 2: Don't tie a card to the Switch 😄

fading spade
#

I like my Switch case but I think I made a mistake of getting a carry case that clearly says "Nintendo Switch" on it....

small comet
#

step 1

orchid prism
#

Step 3: Get the Switch banned. lull

small comet
#

do parental stuff

#

step 2

#

lock playtime per day

#

step 3 set to 0mins

#

now the switch locks up as soon as u start it

#

and requires the parental pin

fading spade
small comet
#

altho this is easily removed by just wiping the entire switch

#

and then having a free switch

orchid prism
small comet
#

use nintendo gift card thingies?

fading spade
#

I linked PayPal cause my card cant be used anymore cause I dont have online banking setup and I need to auth the payment on the app now due to new security measures

#

and I dont have the app cause I no have oinline banking setup, so im stuck

I was already logged into PayPal with this card so it didnt need to get authed by the bank app

Hello everyone,

I am in a guild playing tom clancy's elite squad, but they announced the closing of the servers end this year.

We are looking around and trying for replacement games. Anyone has suggestions? Idea would be: playable as f2p, guild activities, entertaining mechanics.

Atm, we are looking at Ready Heroes, Magnum Quest and Fusion Guards. But the two latter are still in beta and available only to a small number of guildies

bleak pike
#

I msan it literally has its own replacement lol

wet nymph
#

X:defiant is not a replacement at all. It's a real-time combat game, totally different

#

and if we can avoid Ubisoft, it would be nice, they don't seem to care about the players at all

small comet
#

so like any big corporation

Tanks are what we need more of apparently xD

#

No one wants to LEARN

bleak pike
#

not even warframe can escape

keen urchin
#

But tanks are fun

#

If they're the most challenging class to play

#

No one likes a hold shield up and wait tank

#

Don't forget to taunt every 30s and you're good

#

That said, I hate absolute taunts

#

Taunts should create more aggro than regular attacks

#

But not flat out force a target to attack you before all else

fringe salmon
#

nah even with tank it would've had some time to find a group, bc lv 80 trial, so people <80 dont queue it for xp bonus leveling and people at 80 usually do the extreme/hard versions for more challenges/loot

#

just had insta q pops before so I got confused at first lmao

#

but with that I have completed shadowbringes NODDERS

#

so basically I had about 12 days of playtime in a good story game, now I have some post story and then can start playing the mmo(raids) kek

#

not a bad deal

fading spade

I'd rather just play payday which sure has hackers

Ive done heists with my friends, but they are rich AF so they had all the equipment needed so I was just tagging along xd

bleak pike

But ain't as bad xD

barren pewter

I hate payday 2

probably because I got in too late

I have the payday 2 mask in vr

So am happy

#

uhh, are you sure? I'm fairly certain ultimate has all gameplay dlcs, maybe not some cosmetics or some weapons

bleak pike
#

Can't you just crack all dlc

#

And still play online

barren pewter
#

gameplay in payday 2 is pretty great and I'm sure the third would be just as good, if not better

bleak pike
#

Think my friend did it?

trim rock
#

And yeah the DLC situation is weird like that because they said they were done with that but then due to money problems resorted to starting the DLC money printer back up

barren pewter
#

and those cost...absurd amounts

#

I'm not paying 8 bucks for a new heist

bleak pike
#

Wasn't there a huge shady thing with that company and finances

trim rock
#

Yes that too

fringe salmon
#

ah right, forgot the new ones because I stopped playing haha

trim rock
#

And also their Walking Dead game being a trainwreck didn't help

bleak pike
#

Though I will admit the h3h3 collab was amusing

barren pewter
#

the Airbow was...ok

#

the rest was...meh

trim rock
#

Turns out being a gamedev is not just an infinite money printer as some would think 😉

barren pewter
#

I knew that wasn't the case

#

it's just that the "ultimate edition" should be just that

#

the ultimate version of said game

bleak pike
#

You meab like rainbow six siege lull

barren pewter
#

the moment the ultimate edition isn't the full game package, it's quite a headscratcher as to if it's really "Ultimate"

Ultimate edition but only year 1!

It's because i don't really do anyone harm

i just go, buy new vehicles, dick around with friends, assist in some heists, and go on hiatus again for a while

nice

they don't exactly crack down on the harmful hackers either though

my account happens to be 100% legit and without a single shark card purchase

considering I have every property in the game, up till this time last year, I'm quite proud of that

I can buy the sub and make shitloads from that ezpz

i mean i had a legit account at 120 but the account was fucking ancient with 990mil in modded cash back from the early PS3 online era. Well it got banned for some reason so I got a modded account not to long ago

Mobile game ads are getting dumber and dumber. Starting with raid, seems like some games mostly on the same engine, with just different UI and graphics have decided to use the same be as annoying as possible strategy.
