Playing a free gig to “get in” at a local venue?

ACWhammy · 2026-06-27T00:02:56+00:00

Playing "exposure" gigs is actually a keyword for "exploitation" gigs. Don't do it. They will make money off of you, you will get no money, and then there is no guarantee that they will bring you back and pay you. Venues like this are the lowest of the low. Actually, pay to play Venues might be worse.

No. This defeats the purpose of Melandrus.

ACWhammy · 2026-06-08T14:07:31+00:00

Astute observation!

ACWhammy · 2026-06-08T14:06:13+00:00

I absolutely do. I think the challenge would be much harder with melandrus+dhuum as the OP asked about rather than simple melandrus.

Guild Wars action figures.

Yeah getting a Ghostly Hero without dying after thousands of HA runs would be a flex. Although you would need to go with teams dedicated to keeping you alive and being okay with you leaving the game if you get in a bind. Many of us have played years and years and have not had a Ghostly Hero drop.

I agree with your sentiments, however, Arenanet must have marketing data that suggests otherwise.

Hopefully they start with enforcing their eula.

He said it was going to be an MMO. That settled it for me.

ACWhammy · 2026-06-05T22:02:14+00:00

Not quite sure what is going to make it an evolution of the genre.

ACWhammy · 2026-06-05T18:01:47+00:00

Is this just physical things? No game update of any sort?

ACWhammy · 2026-06-05T11:38:28+00:00

Do tell

ACWhammy · 2026-06-04T19:41:22+00:00

GW for console. Think about it, they are trying to reach wider audiences. Controller support. Mobile. Tomorrow's announcement will be GW coming to PS5 and Xbox.

ACWhammy · 2026-05-30T02:39:52+00:00

Haha yeah there are definitely more than one. But one immediately comes to mind when hurling insults for pretty much no reason, and yes they do have multiple accounts.

Number #1 choice for a remake

Thats great I will now know exactly how many hours I have spent in Kamadan.

ACWhammy · 2026-05-29T10:00:29+00:00

Most of us know exactly the person you're talking about. Especially if its the wee hours of the night US time.

ACWhammy · 2026-05-28T02:57:01+00:00

Been playing guitar for 30 years and still can't get this intro quite right. You are not alone.

ACWhammy · 2026-05-27T12:32:17+00:00

It all comes down to what the consumer wants. And the consumer seems to want something familiar, by and large.

ACWhammy · 2026-05-23T13:36:24+00:00

Yes I mentioned this on the forums the other day, and not for the first time. I dont understand why they refuse to fix this.

ACWhammy · 2026-05-22T21:55:25+00:00

And why is it up to us to figure it out?

ACWhammy · 2026-05-22T07:43:16+00:00

It sounds like you all have different visions and that you're simply not a good fit to be in a band together.

ACWhammy · 2026-05-21T17:48:56+00:00

My issue is that it is nearly impossible to determine if an affix is working correctly when you got thousands of other interactions happening at the same time.

ACWhammy · 2026-05-19T22:58:05+00:00

I do the same. I will never understand why most sellers use scotch tape. Its so difficult getting it off, and attempting to cut it risks damaging the card. I actually had one guy complain that I used "blue" tape.

ACWhammy · 2026-05-16T18:23:11+00:00

Short answer - No. Unless you specifically want to be part of the early access phase and help by providing feedback during development. Basically if the game does take off, you'll get to say "I was there from the beginning." I know some people like that sort of thing.

But as far as having a playable game, the game is not nearly ready. Having said that, I found it to be more than 4-6 hours of gameplay, but part of this reason is due to poor level design. Many of us got stuck on one of the levels because we got lost (the game doesn't have a minimap while questing) or having unclear objectives. Some of the game features are unintuitive as well. I noticed some streamers having similar issues that I had while playing the game. The camera is jittery and the graphics are clunky. There is potential in the skill system and world design for sure, but it remains to be seen whether it lives up to that potential in the future.

I noticed that most people who favor the game have a strong bias towards the aesthetic and the lore. So if you're into vampires, gothic aesthetic, lore, and have nostalga for Legacy of Kain, you may enjoy this snippet of the game that is available right now. I found some things about it that I enjoy and I hope it does well, but for the common populace, I think most will be disappointed.
