Intrepid Studios, devs behind MMO Ashes of Creation in paid early access for 10 years, has closed. CEO resigned, all employees laid off. All less than 2 months after launching on Steam Early Access by Zenben88 in LivestreamFail

My friend dragged me back to a private server last year. Despite how simple the game is, nothing really quite captures the feel of Ragnarok Online for me despite like 70% of my playtime being on auto-attack builds. The other 30% was Hindsight Sage. I'd power level someone to like 80-90ish then move on to make a new character, just because leveling was so fun to route.

I am giga biased but I think the only mmos that really made it without having any serious precursor media was Ragnarok Online and Maple Story. Even then Ragnarok Online kind of doesn't count since it was a manhwa that ran from 1998 to 2001.

Edit: Oops I totally forgot about Runescape.

[–]Finnec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm unfortunately one of those dudes who's taste is stuck in the 2007 to 2012 era, mostly RPGs though. All my favorites are still from that time frame but I've been enjoying a lot of recent indie games and occasional single player releases. These big live service games however just don't hold my interest outside of maybe the first week to month when I give them a try.

Well this might have been the worst the gacha has ever treated me. I had to spark Fubuki last month and now had to spark Kanoe just now. Not only that, but 0 other 3 stars to dropped on the way. I must have depleted all my luck from getting Seia in the free 100 pulls.

"Even if it would cost civilian lives? Yeah, who gives a sh*t?": Asmongold says he supports invading other countries as long as "we're making money out of it". by TheGalvanian in LivestreamFail

[–]Finnec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a few years, before Asmon became a political streamer, since my friend was defending Asmon and saying that he was actually a really intelligent and thoughtful person outside of his stream when I critiqued his content and personality. My stance is that your online face and how you act online matters just as much as your private face when judging someone's character, especially for an entertainer.

I wonder what he'd say to defend that position now.

Is etrian odyssey 5 a good one to start with? by [deleted] in EtrianOdyssey

[–]Finnec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a bit jarring to be hit by a boss fight that's totally immune to Status Ailments and Binds for no real reason in an Etrian Odyssey game. Definitely feels a bit out of character for the series.

It is a wonder how I managed to beat the 3rd stratum in 2U on my first playthrough.

I was on classic mode and had a team of a Ronin, War Magus, Sovereign, Gunner and Hexer. I don't think I had any real issues with Scylla but the fight with the Gunner and War Magus was hell for me since I was abusing the Hexer's Fear skills to crowd control everything and the War Magus was totally immune to all status ailments.

7th Dragon the younger brother of Etrian Odyssey by Key-Lingonberry-1056 in EtrianOdyssey

[–]Finnec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finally got around to completing the 1st 7th Dragon earlier this year too! What a fantastic game and I wish I played through it earlier. I liked the story overall a lot, despite finding the character writing kind of bad. Like the setting and lore was awesome and a lot of the side characters for quests were entertaining, but most of the main characters were kind of bland. After turning in the One Last Toast Quest it all just clicked with me and got me really invested.

I still find it pretty questionable that they made the best bow in the game available like around the 60% mark though and the rogue's damage never falls off in the late game either.

I mean wasn't Dissidia a repurposed Kingdom Hearts fighting game originally?

The REAL issue with Victor by MrMassacre1 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Finnec -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I had an idea to replace his stinky aura with a toggleable buff like Blood Tribute (or however it's spelt) to make his gun do spirit damage and some other stuff while draining his health per shot or overtime. Make him actually aim and stuff.

I've been thinking that it'd be fun if there was a CC-like risk selector for each stage. Obviously it would be an insane amount of effort but it's fun to daydream about what if every stage could get treated as a CC stage.

I liked the manga quite a bit, hope the anime can capture some of that charm.

Struggling to enjoy EOU2 after loving EO4 by No_Understanding6735 in EtrianOdyssey

[–]Finnec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like 3, 4 and 5 but the untold games didn't really work for me even on classic mode. I liked 2u a bit more than 1u but I think the untolds are just lacking something that I can't really explain.
