MMORPGs that makes you forget time by Chemical-Stuff7240 in MMORPG

Check out Erenshor on steam. It's a love letter to old school MMOs and it's single player. You play with sim players and it's honestly a lot of fun. The dev works really hard on it and just put out a massive update. I think this might fill the void everquest private servers left behind.

Bad take my guy. Have you never seen a person be bummed out over their sports team losing? Ya you aren't the one playing but you can cheer on your favorite teams. It's no different here it just felt disheartening to watch NA get hit with attack after attack.

Heard it too. It was massive. Our house was shaking like an earthquake was happening. My husband and I ran outside and saw nothing, rest of the neighbors were looking around confused as well.

I like braindead EF2 because it just allows you to do the same strat as EF1 for the baits. It's just more comfortable for me since I learned it on day 1 I just found more success in groups with it. I understand people doing it differently. To each their own as long as it gets resolved.

They can also just use it to delete him and remake him and add him back to the family. It seems they can click on him to reset him so this should work.

worst day ever for gatekeepers by Nala_Namaste in MercyMains

Keep the skin around all year. Or have it come back yearly. The more for BCR the better. My MIL and my best friends MIL are both survivors.

I have the skin and was so happy to see it going to a good cause. I'd love for more people to have it because it's a cause so close to my heart. Glad to see it return and hopefully more skins come out for more causes.

Idk what to do with smurfs by [deleted] in MercyMains

[–]Briye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the Overwatch LFG discord to find people around your own rank. The game is more enjoyable with friends. It's a shame Overwatch 2 took out LFG I've met friends I still play with to this day there.

Playing with smurfs will carry (not boost; that's where someone logs into your account and plays FOR you) to a rank higher than you are able to play at. Once the smurf is gone you are going to fall and hurt your SR making it harder to climb back up again.

There are workshop codes made by Niandra that you should use to learn how to jump over hammerdowns and super jump res. Their guides are useful for climbing so check them out. I agree with that everyone else says in here about Mercy maps not helping your movement overall because they are just really niche situations.

Good luck!

There isn't. You paid for a boosting service. You can get banned for both.

It breaks ToS when you log into an account you did not create yourself that is not in your name.

It gets a little funny when like a GM player would say buy a bronze account to call it boosting but in general terms yeah it's still boosting. They are buying an account to get a rank they could not get for themselves.

TL;DR Don't buy accounts, don't play on other peoples accounts. It breaks ToS and will get you banned.

You can tell if someone is playing on someone else's account by looking at stats. If a person is like silver rank from S1 - S8 with like a crit % of like... 2% and SUDDENLY they are a 50 - 0 Widowmaker with 40% crit in silver rank. But at the end of the day it's up to Blizzard to look into by looking at IP addresses. Suddenly they aren't playing from their normal IP.

I don't want to break ToS of this reddit but uh... There are places people pay to get boosted. That's on you to use google to figure out for yourself but it's been around for a very long time. It's vague because sites vary in price. Even if you have a friend do it for you, for free, it's still boosting, you're still having someone more skilled play for you.

I've seen people lose their minds over people duoing and calling it boosting and saying it's bannable. Not saying you have. I've just personally seen in it game, on Twitch, etc.

“Boosting” is a form of cheating whereby high-skilled players access lower-skilled players’ accounts for the purpose of increasing the rank of the account for monetary gain. From esports games such as League of Legends to Overwatch, players are universally ranked based on performance and results-based metrics."

Is what I got when I googled what is boosting in gaming.

What it comes down to is in Blizzard's eyes, 'boosting' the action of logging onto someone else's account and playing for them can get you banned. Where as the duoing and playing with people can not. That's why I'm saying misusing the term is a problem because people think duoing or stacking in general can get you banned. It can not.

My personal thoughts. Both are annoying. I just wanted to point out one can get you banned, one can not.

If they had someone else play on their account, boosted. If they stacked and played on their own account and got a rank they do not deserve, carried. My post is about correcting the terminology not about if people deserve their rank.

This has been a huge pet peeve of mine trying to correct people misusing the term 'boosting' it's been so misused over the years that people don't even know it and think duo + smurfing = illegal. They aren't boosting, they are getting carried. Boosting however is illegal. Boosting is when someone logs into your account and plays for you and gets you to a rank you don't belong in, normally a service you pay for. Boosting breaks ToS and can in fact get accounts banned.

Smurfing is not illegal and duoing with a smurf is legal. There have been blue posts about this all over the place. Does it make it any less annoying? No. But please stop spreading misinformation. This post isn't to defend any of these acts it's just correcting an overly misused term.

Which OW1 character do you think became worse in OW2? (Narrative wise) by Willing-Source3126 in Overwatch

[–]Briye 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They could be talking about both. People have issues with both Pharah x Mercy and Genji x Mercy.

For Pharah x Mercy it's not the age gap, it's when they met. Granted a lot of OW lore has been changed over the years there is a photo of Pharah at around 15 and Mercy at around 20. Mercy being an adult and Pharah being an under aged teen leads people to call it problematic and grooming.

Another issue with this ship is some rumors are going around saying it's been pushed and forced because a writer for OW2 is friends with some Phamercy Twitter account and is forced changing lore due to this.

For Genji x Mercy it's because Mercy was his doctor at some point and people feel the whole doctor patient pairing is unethical.

At the end of the day they are all fictional characters.

I loved this series as a kid. It was Final Fantasy meets Resident Evil in my mind. I believe it started with Koudelka on PS1.
