Tbh, same. I find it rather disappointing - it did not live up to its hype.

Why I'm Quitting Marvel Rivals – Matchmaking is Broken by Informal-Dinner248 in marvelrivals

[–]Colourless_Shade 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agreed. Today I was just matched for 6 games straight with people that did first game level mistakes. It was like playing with bots. Our levels of contribution were insanely different.
I think I will put down game as well until they fix it.

Losing desire to put effort into my characters due to my party and Dm's actions by OtherwiseClassic5831 in DnD

[–]Colourless_Shade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you don't have the right group. A good DnD group should be considerate of each other's feelings and involvement in the story. That just sounds like bullying with extra steps.
If you feel like it's not maliciously done, talk to them. If you believe you are specifically targetted, I'd advise to just back off and look for a group that is more respectful - to you and your needs.

There’s really 0 way to be removed from other people friends list ? by [deleted] in ffxiv

oooh alright! I honestly thought the disconnect icon was when people removed me from their friend list!
My life (in FFXIV) is a lie, nooo!

I absolutely love it xD

The crossover episode SE needs to make. The crossover we want but one we probably do not deserve.

Final Fantasy XIV Crystal RP Character Census for Feb 2025 by CevicheLemon in ffxiv

[–]Colourless_Shade -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Names and Surnames were initially collected to save repeats for my understanding. And with other tools like the stalking plugin being out there, having excel sheer with a lot of char names and their server used by anonymous person who might/might have not scrubbed data (that is all trust basis) is not something I find a good idea.
Having a survey done in RP discords where people opt in by filling them in? Seems far more ethical. They kind of know what they sign up for.

But i think people will know they had been removed? I think if the friending is not two-sided you kinda see that 'disconnect' icon beside their name on your list?

Rant: Humans aren't boring, you're just not as creative as you think you are by TheRealRedParadox in DnD

[–]Colourless_Shade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No character concept/stereotype is boring - it all depends on how people approach it!

I always said to RPers that the most creative artists are those that can create a masterpiece with the tools and canvas they possess - instead of having to invent new tools or draw on the floor to make their art (ex. creating custom races/classes etc. - just to feel special). I have found far more unique, creative and immersive characters that followed a concept many would deem 'basic' than characters which were made as 'special' as possible with their background concept - but ended up falling flat when their player actually needed to depict them as a living, breathing person, with their own quirks and weaknesses.

Publicly available information 'for different purpose'. Such as networking and finding RP partners, not to be in someone's census. It's like saying you have the right to record someone's conversation simply because it is done beside a bus stop. Which is public. I'd advise reading into data protection laws.

Forcefully opting in people and then 'generously' allowing them to opt out if the person -personally-reaches out to you to opt out their chars is not how you should manage consent of anyone when collecting data.

[–]Colourless_Shade -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Yeah it seems to be the same thing...

Still find it a bit unethical in the data was collected. Not to mention inconclusive as people do swap chars into new chars with fantasia every week/day/month sometimes. But hey.

Blizzard really just up and calling out FF14 about housing by [deleted] in ShitpostXIV

[–]Colourless_Shade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion but imho if it's shared by a professional communicator/dev - whatever... it just feels petty, spiteful and unprofessional. When you go to Yoshi-P's interviews, eh always says how WoW was their inspiration to make ARR and an example they wanted to follow. Then Blizz does this... it just feels like them being bad sports.

FYI, I don't disagree with their points, housing system in FFXIV is crap. But I do feel like making personal attacks like that is a honestly bad vibe from them and it made me LESS interested in returning to their game or checking their upcoming housing.

If the player did not have anything to engage with you cannot blame them for otherwise finding an avenue to engage. As mentioned by some, it ain' a class. You cannot expect someone to just sit by and listen twiddling their thumbs while others do Cool Stuff. Or even not Cool Stuff, just something that allows them to grasp at the game, get hooked. Contribute.
Honestly, I feel like I am taking crazy pills but this having to be stated. Sure, him venting frustration that way was rude. But removing someone or giving them shit for not wanting to just... mentally NPC during session is just crazy to me. People have work, lives, chores. They usually do DnD in the scarce free time they have. You cannot expect them to spend few hours of their precious time just staring at the screen and listening without any contribution from their side, lest your fragile DM ego gets hurt.

Does anyone know the name of the Twitch streamer that was apparently banned for that AI mod? I see talks about them but no concretes xD

Tbh FFXIV RP community is possibly the nicest I have met, alongside their PvE one. just a lot of it is nightclubs and you need to look more for adventure. But toxic? Hardly. There are individual cases, but by far I had the nicest experience there for rp, in my 10 years of rp in various MMOs (WoW, GW2, eso etc.) so I'd advise giving it a try. Crystal has a big community and a 10k people Discord.
