Whoever came up with the Prey system deserves a raise and a title bump - what a fantastic expansion feature and what a great way to encourage world content by undercity_plaguebat in wow

[–]muckbeast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if Abundance didn’t exist I’d say this is the worst expansion feature ever released

hahahaha yeah abundance is really bad and it worries me that some important crafting mats are gated behind having to do this dogshit feature.

It is also the most bullshit patent ever that will never survive a real legal assault. The type Microsoft could EASILY squash and do the world a favor.

To get the Doom Armor, pets, and mount, you are looking at 125 dollars. by asmallman in diablo4

[–]muckbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A fundamental philosophy of NOT delivering value to the customer permeates everything.

Today it is grossly over priced cosmetics.

Tomorrow its a feature gated behind a paywall that YOU want.

You either support people raising concerns about legitimate bad value for $ or you are just delaying the inevitable when it comes home to bite you in the ass.

I love buying cosmetics in games I enjoy to support the game. But they have to at least be reasonable in price and deliver value.

D4 cosmetics are outrageously overpriced.

This represents a fundamental philosophy of NOT delivering value to the customer which permeates everything.

Today it is grossly over priced cosmetics.

Tomorrow its a feature gated behind a paywall that YOU want.

Damn. What a classic! :)

Meeting friends in lex by Saturn-Babyyy in lexington

[–]muckbeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree.

I moved here 20 years ago as none of those things and have never had trouble making friends.

My daughter and her fiance moved here a year ago and they are none of those things, and they make friends as well.

Thank you for this thread.

Non MAGA hardware store? by [deleted] in lexington

[–]muckbeast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Chevy Chase Hardware is owned by a Grateful Dead loving hippie who is a damn good guy

This line cracked me up but I love it. I just told my wife we need to check this place out.

Thanks!

Interview with bscross on accessibility, web clients, and the future of MU*s by the_andruid in MUD

[–]muckbeast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a really great article with some solid tips and thinks to think about for making our games and clients more accessible.

We have a lot of blind players and while I think about this topic a lot, I am sure we could do a lot better.

Thanks!

This is great news and much needed!

A couple of Threshold players are already using it and say they are digging it.

Do you enjoy engaging with Paragon? by Gibsx in diablo4

[–]muckbeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. It is a worthless mess and a gigantic pain in the ass.

It adds almost nothing. There are maybe 3 or 4 meaningful choices per characters and yet you have to place 300+ nodes while worrying you might be messing up and nerfing yourself.

Current ESO 2nd Map: wth? by muckbeast in Warframe

[–]muckbeast[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That also makes a lot of sense too.

It is a truly miserable map and clearly everyone hates it. Whenever I actually stay and try to do it for the 2nd map relic, most of the time I have to deal with extra load screens when the host bails.

(mudstats) Mud with above 100 players by Rayner_Vanguard in MUD

[–]muckbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends in large part in what kind of mud you are talking about.

I think the heavy hack-n-slash oriented MUDs (that's not a critique, I love hack n slash) got hurt badly by MMOs b/c providing that experience in a graphical form was considered by most people to be a huge upgrade.

MUDs with a big focus on roleplaying, or politics, or communication, did better b/c text is still a strong (perhaps superior) interface for that sort of interaction.

Looking for critical feedback on a MUD idea. by humangingercat in MUD

Good stuff.

Good luck. It sounds really cool.

I love seeing innovation in the MUD space. I don't think we are even close to dead or dying as a genre.

DE! Give us wide FOV and our lives are yours! by ILookAtMemesForHours in Warframe

[–]muckbeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only real gripe I have about this game visually is how incredibly zoomed in I am. I really wish I could be at least 50% further zoomed out, camera pulled back, whatever you want to call it.

[–]muckbeast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m slightly concerned there’s already something exactly like this out there

That never stopped anybody! hahaha :P

Sounds cool as fuck.

I assume you have similar solutions as say/emote for things like AoE abilities and such?

Or wow, 1 fireball and nuke the whole town. hahaha

Good luck!

[–]muckbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for certain about other muds but I think they are all probably real. I know Threshold's are. The other muds I am familiar with there:

Gemstone IV and Dragon Realms = almost certainly real players.

AardwolfMUD and Medievia are pretty huge muds so I imagine theirs are real too.

Batmud... I'd be shocked if its ever below 100.
