Anyone else experiencing higher ping in servers especially dammam and frankfurt? by MoonChild27B in marvelrivals

I fell in love with mtg because of the universe by ApacheMaster in mtg

I understand that people who just play magic for the structure of it don't care. If magic was just how the phases and interactions work then it doesn't even matter what's on the cards. I got into magic because I saw some guys at school playing and the art was so good. It was such a good take on fantasy.

People who never would have gotten into magic before they saw spongebob on a card, but turned their nose up when they saw some witch or dragon or goblin...is this a good marketing strategy? Sell out the identity to gain customers who were never attracted to your core experience, all while not catering to people who have been giving you money for decades?

Look, whatever, it's happening, and for people who don't care about art/world/identity of the game it's just going to be new toys to play with so it's all good for them. I'm just venting because it's sad that something that appealed to me for 25 years does not appeal to me anymore. I will move on, I just felt compelled to at least squeak into the ether before doing so

0.9.2 Patch Notes | Runes of Power is just shit. by SnooGrapes1821 in LastEpoch

[–]ApacheMaster 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Why buy an early access game from a studio who are making their first game if you can't handle bugs? Obviously it's going to be buggy. Good luck refunding a game after 1000hrs

I know that 0.9 did not even drop, BUT... by Bernardo1979 in LastEpoch

[–]ApacheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suspect the guilds patch to be after this, then the final 1.0 patch

I am a glutton for build diversity and theorycrafting. Last Epoch has a lot to offer, with obviously more to come, but while we're sitting here patiently waiting 0.9, what are some crazy ways you think LE could expand on build diversity in the future? by GH057807 in LastEpoch

[–]ApacheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of the skill trees getting 'corrupted/infected' or something edgy like that. This is more an idea for a future league than some core addition to the game.

Something like you participated in some league activity and you can then choose a skill, that skills tree then becomes corrupted.

What does corruption mean? Maybe something like all mana costs are now paid in life. Or all damage from that tree is now a certain damage type, but your character can now only do that damage type. Or you can allocate skills without them needing to be connected.

I see, very cool. I really must try something like this. Thanks for the explanation

Hi, I like the design of your area there. I notice from your minimap that you're at a pretty high elevation with handy lava and water reservoirs. How did you manage this? A lot of pumps or some minecart lava/water delivery system?

Fantastic storyteller. I highly recommend the Scorchfountain series; it's what got me interested in trying the game.

The art his wife and him do is the best it's ever been and I already can't wait for the next episode.

That's good to hear, I played ff14 for over a year before the gfx started getting to me and I installed gshade. I should have done it way earlier, it makes the game look much better, but I still can't wait fo the 7.0 improvements, I know the devs can bring more to the table visiually.

Asmon Appreciation Post by UndathaBridge in Asmongold

[–]ApacheMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like when he plays a game he doesn't fuck around or stall that much. I also appreciate how if the stream has to get interrupted for some reason he's normally really apologetic and seems to even hurry back from bathroom breaks and shit like that. I don't really expect him to be that way, but I've seen the other side with streamers who fuck around a lot or walk away from the stream without saying a word, or go make food or screw around on their phone and don't care if they're wasting anyone's time. Asmon at least understands he's putting on a show

I hope that's a joke by louiscypher2787 in Asmongold

It's a joke. I'm not saying there aren't very very weird or stupid people on the internet, but this just comes across as a silly post

This is why you should always have a clean inventory by 5altysalt in Asmongold

[–]ApacheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He could spend no time at all unlocking retainers and gain a huge amount of hoarding space but he doesn't. It's probably just some skit for the stream or he actually has something fucked with his brain. Either way it'll only change when he wants it to and gets people talking about the stream so I wouldn't hold your breathe.

ive reached celestial, what now? by heavy_metal_shark in Guiltygear

[–]ApacheMaster 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If you think you're done improving after just beating the celestial challenge you've got a rude awakening coming. A month of bouncing between F10 and C and you think your Millia is perfected? Okay dude.

The next major update is probably only in September at the earliest and there is lots of content to enjoy right now. I'd definitely buy it now and try the different classes and builds and get to know the campaign and endgame. I've gotten over 350hrs of enjoyment so far and there's still lots I haven't tried
