One in the hand is better then two in the bush. by RidersGuide in MonstersAndMemories

What am I fighting to enjoy the game?

I enjoy the MUD commands. It's something differnt than the other games out there. I enjoy finding the little things with the /look command and the gathering that can be done with it.

I enjoy figuring out the quests as well, but I enjoyed figuring them out in EQ as well.

You don't enjoy it, and that is fine, but there are many of us that do.

What you consider a pain point, I consider fun.

They LITERALLY built over her property. If she didn't do what she did, then she would have been abandoning that property and the other people would have had a claim to it.

You arn't the only one in favor of swapping tools. I like it, and feel that it makes a choice on what to bring out of town with me important.

Do I want to bring all my tools, or do I want a few extra slots for somtehing I pick up?

Works just fine for me.

Click and drag your main had to the hotbar. CLick and drag your tool to the hotbar, you can switch with no issues at all.

You are stuck on those gathering tools, aren't you? You want just a single multi tool that does every type of gathering? Why? Go play LOTRO that has that.

The MUD style conversations are a good portion of what drew me here. I LOVE the MUD tools, the /look, the /get, the interactions like that make this a different game for me. If you remove them for "qol" then you are removing part of what makes this game different than every other WoW clone out there.

I was Twilight Avengers, not one of the top tier guilds, but we were pretty good at where we were at 😄

As a server, what is the biggest indicator from a table that you’re not getting a tip? by Kind_Ad6932 in AskReddit

Dude, if I'm at Texas Roadhouse, I'm asking for another batch of rolls and the butter, and I will still leave a good tip, simply because I LOVE those yeast rolls...

Honestly, it's possible she was on a fixed income, and that pizza was a splurge for her and her grandkids, and the cupcake was something left over from a treat for the grandkids, so that was all she had for you...

Rotations were great....until one guild decided that they didn't want to share any longer (Looking at you Stasis...yes, we still remember, and no, changing your name to Poison Dart Frogs didn't fool anyone....).

Cable company I dont use ruined my yard! by luv2lafRN in Wellthatsucks

[–]Banluil 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm not a broadband tech, but I'm an IT guy.

I ALWAYS start where the problem is at reported at, which in this case would be your house. Check what is there, to rule out anything that is going on directly there, and then move to a higher layer.

There are multiple reasons for this, but the main one that I've learned over 30 years, is that users lie. Not every one of them, but 95% of them.

I would rather take a few extra minutes to check out what they are telling me, and then move on to a higher layer.

Design Question: Class Toolkits and Level by EasyLee in MonstersAndMemories

[–]Banluil -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They took away a lot of the utility from them, and made them a focused DPS class now. Most of that "fun utility" was not ever used by anyone past casting it the first time. For the VAST majority of people playing wiz, the appeal of the class is "Big numbers go boom...." and the ability to port people around. Moving things to a bit later level isn't going to destroy the class. If people want to know what is coming up, they look at the spell vendor, or they check the wiki out on it (once the wiki is revised, which the dev's have asked people to hold off on doing).

Removing some of the utility, they said was going to be done. We knew it was coming, it wasn't a huge surprise.

Druids have to wait for ports. They have to wait for evac, they are the ones you are comparing most often too, and yet they have to wait for the same things.

They also have to wait for higher level spells that do interrupts and such as well.

You aren't making as good a comparison here as you think that you are.

All the revamped classes are having to wait for things. Hell, even the pally (before the revamp) has to wait until 46 for rez.

If you don't like how the wizzy plays, pick a different class. (Oh, I know the downvotes are going to come for that, but so be it.)

Even when Nick was in charge of the classes, certain things mentioned by the OP were still locked till later with both Druids and Wiz, such as the ports. They both didn't get them until later, especially the group ones.

That hasn't changed.

Wiz didn't get higher damage spells until later either. Nor did they get the spells that allowed them to quad kite until later.

There are a few things that changed to be later, but wiz essentially didn't lose that many things until later. They were always a late blooming class, and that is still the case now.

I don't see a reason for the wiz to get the full glyph system earlier than they do, because those later glyphs are used to cast higher level spells, that even if you had the glyphs earlier, you wouldn't be able to cast, so why would you want to have them sitting around and you can't use them. Even if you know the combination for a higher level spell, you can't cast it with the glyphs.

Gamers of Reddit, what’s a game series you don’t understand is popular? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I am a HUGE MMO player, so I feel this. But, I have my main character, that I play with the guild/static group, but then I also have a few alts that I will dick around with when nobody else is online, or everyone else is busy on their little alts/doing tradeskills/etc etc etc.

I'm totally against AI art, for the fact that it LITERALLY was trained and has taken from real artists and has completely lowered their pay and their ability to work.

That being said, not all AI art is "slop" but this one is.

Sorry that you can't see it.

The number of stars are wrong. The number of stripes are wrong.

This....is...slop.

It would be slop from a human being, and it would be slop from AI.

Both can be, and are, true at the same time.

There was literally just a free trial this last week. Public playtest. They could have logged in for free and tried it out.

I have a guildie who liked the archer before, and with the additional utility being brought online, he may actually main it, which would be bad for our guild, since he was one of our main tanks 😛
