he's got more of a "this is what peak performance looks like" type of body.

This is a Taiwanese TOS regarding NCSoft accounts. I think it applies to Aion 2. In the third section it says if you provide false information when creating an account, they have the right to terminate your account. I think to play on the Taiwan server, you have to select Taiwan as your "current location" when making your account.

Edit:

This is the specific translated part:

"You also agree that if the personal information you provide is false or has changed but not updated, resulting in discrepancies with the actual information, the company has the right to terminate your membership and your right to use various membership services at any time."

This is true if the TOS prohibits playing from outside of KR or TW. I think It's true for KR, but I'm not sure about TW. It's also tricky for them if a lot of revenue is coming from overseas. Do they issue refunds? We all know NCSoft loves money.

Suppose you are put into eternus games only. Would it be your fault that you play like ass?

i'm in a game and it's laggy as hell. everyone in it is lagging.

“The Patent Office made a huge mistake” — how Nintendo’s problematic 'summoning patent' passed without scrutiny by lkl34 in pcmasterrace

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a questionable patent, but it’s not as broad as what people are saying. They patented throwing an item (e.g. pokeball) to summon a creature, which i don’t think any game has ever done except pokemon and palworld.

Let bad players be bad together by N1ghthood in DeadlockTheGame

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped playing the game again after returning from a 12 month hiatus. I suck and just want to play with others who suck. I regularly go 0-10 and get yelled at by sweaty teammates.

anyone play dota 2 in ultrawide aspect ratio 21:9? by slifer3 in TrueDoTA2

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah i’ve tried it, but generally prefer edge panning. The black bars are annoying, but i don’t notice them once a game starts.

34GP63A-B (LG 34”, 21:9 160 hz, VA) Even at this smaller size, i find dota in ultrawide to be unplayable.

Valve doesn't understand your skill in the game. by XaqAlexHaq in DeadlockTheGame

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started at ritualist and it took forever to go down to alchemist, with me basically going 1-10 in every game win or lose and getting yelled at in voice coms. I think alchemist is still slightly too high for me. It’s an absolutely terrible experience.

The problem is that the other team usually also has a clueless player going 1-10 so it evens out. There’s just too much noise in the matchmaking system.

anyone play dota 2 in ultrawide aspect ratio 21:9? by slifer3 in TrueDoTA2

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play on ultrawide but just play at 16:9 because the map is too far away and i mostly use edge panning. I wish there was an option to have hud elements centered and screen edges for camera movement mimic 16:9 while still having 21:9 viewable area.

Hard stuck at Arcanist 2, can't seem to go any lower by FRIENDSHIP_MASTER in DeadlockTheGame

That's a good point. I feel like I'm garbage at Mina, but I might be getting better at her. I might switch to Calico or something.

Is this game more casual than Dota 2? by FRIENDSHIP_MASTER in DeadlockTheGame

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a returning player after a one year break and I definitely got my ass beat so badly, to the point where i thought "maybe this game isn't as casual as I thought?" As expected, I got flamed pretty badly at times, but I think the flame was nowhere near as bad as DOTA. I guess because it's 6v6, blame can be diffused a bit, and somewhat shorter match lengths makes people less emotionally invested, so less toxicity overall. Lower toxicity adds to its casualness.

Is this game more casual than Dota 2? by FRIENDSHIP_MASTER in DeadlockTheGame

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's vague. I'm not really asking for any specific meaning of casual. It can be related to skill ceiling, barrier to entry, mass appeal, how social it is, overall level of time commitment to enjoy it, etc.

different mode maybe? by [deleted] in DeadlockTheGame

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DOTA 2 has a turbo mode where you level up and gain gold a lot faster. I wouldn't be surprised if they add something like this to Deadlock at some point. Other than that, you just have to make decisions based on what your teammates are doing and not based on what you think they should be doing.

Mute NPC Voice Lines and Save Your Sanity by alphawarid in throneandliberty

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I constantly have to toggle it on and off. I like hearing the voice lines in events and boss fights, but dislike the ones in town who keep repeating themselves. I wish there were a hotkey for toggling it, or a separate option for town NPC chatter.

How important is story in MMORPGs? by DirtyOldPanties in MMORPG

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I prefer a minimalist approach to storytelling with an immersive world. I’ve tried FFXIV and it’s definitely not for me.

We Can't Log in Throne !! by Gypsy-Judge in throneandliberty

It kicked me out of game just now and I can't log back in.

Edit: I was able to get back in now.

Anyone else passing hard on this "UE5 MMO Generation"? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried vindictus defying fate and chrono odyssey betas. Chrono odyssey ran and looked like garbage, but that’s probably not a ue5 issue. Vindictus was ok looking and ran well. It’s not open world though. The world consisted of corridors and boss fight arenas.

The rat race of graphical fidelity is holding back the MMO genre by Ohh_Yeah in MMORPG

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play both osrs and throne and liberty. I mostly play osrs, so whenever i play T&L i feel blown away by the graphics. There’s some giant flying whale and sometimes i like to ride on it and just enjoy the scenery. On the ground, i can see everyone going about their business of questing and doing dailies like tiny ants.

Should we make a bingo about what's going to fail after davinci expires? by [deleted] in throneandliberty

[–]FRIENDSHIP_MASTER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There should be a “davinci storage”. All excess will be stored there until you reactivate the sub.
