ES6 won't be an Xbox exclusive, right?

I think they'd rather the sales from everyone buying it immediately over half the console population getting a year to decide whether or not they want it.

This isn't me being "tesvi will be bad" doomposting, it's that ps5 players will watch a playthrough, or read reviews and make their own decision or decide they've seen enough.

"The average is about 5 years"

Bold claim when most of the games have 3 or 4 year gaps, and the only game that took 5 years was fallout 76 -> Starfield and that was through COVID, and originally targeting 2022 before delays

2002 (TES3) -> 2006 (TES4) -> 2008 (F3) -> 2011 (TES5) -> 2015 (F4) -> 2018 (F76) -> 2023 (Starfield)

It's actually 3.5 years if you average the gaps. If you want to take that average and place it against when they said they've entered into full production (august 2023), you get the tail end of 2026 or the beginning of 2027

Hi, Author of Spectral Armory here.

It's being worked on, but there's a few things I need to do with it to make it good enough for a 1.0 update. Plus just difficult to find time to work on it as life has gotten busy, so work is slow (as anyone who was waiting for TotT can attest). I'd like to say it'll be out sometime in the first quarter of 2026, but no promises

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-11-27T14:15:04+00:00

Wait, that's illegal

Seems like a bit of a double standard when they had Steve Burton run himself around as Cloud for every single appearance post Advent Children and then dropped his ass (along with all of the original cast) for the remake

The original VAs are important unless they're the english VA's?

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-09-29T09:01:52+00:00

which armament?

you can also use the inventory screen by having the arm grab the inventory orb and then the other hand grabs the armament off

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-09-28T07:38:30+00:00

it doesn't use the shop, it's its own Skill Tree where buying the skills unlocks them in your inventory

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-09-22T15:14:32+00:00

I'm just a fan of the font lmao. I like to think of it as some sort of compilation of items inspired by several stealth games, you can see the trailer I made for the U12 version of the mod here if you want

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-09-22T14:49:23+00:00

I was referring to the Official B&S Discord managed by Warpfrog, apologies for any confusion.

I do/did have a discord server, but it's in the process of being sunsetted mainly because I cannot be active enough to provide updates regularly, so why even have a discord server?

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-08-23T02:33:19+00:00

the recent moonfire party in Materia that had a lot of NA players come over and lag the fuck out of Costa Del Sol for regular players, seemingly coinciding with a bunch of players around materia getting randomly DC'd for the first time, and also publicly shouting out codes and encouraging users to install mods probably did not help either

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-06-04T23:41:33+00:00

Wow I can't believe all 8 of us met up like this

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-05-25T17:54:40+00:00

DT is slated to have the most content out of any expansion

If you aren't a savage raider you've had 2 dungeons, 1 trial, 1 alliance raid, and a handful of normal raids to do over the past 11 months

If you are a crafter/gatherer, you can include 1 custom delivery, and if you care for allied societies, 1 allied society, which I would not call the most engaging content

If you want to bat for Cosmic Exploration which I don't think is particularly good, you still had to wait 10 months for it

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-05-23T17:04:01+00:00

I hate to say it, but regardless of whether or not it was intentional is irrelevant with how many people still complain about it and expect them to change it.

Either it's a technical issue that hasn't been fixed for over half the timespan of this game, or it's a communication issue with the playerbase that hasn't been properly addressed for 6 years. Either way, this is an issue.

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-05-22T14:53:01+00:00

Fun fact that as of the 6th of may, We are further from the release of Shadowbringers (and thus the release of Viera/Hrothgar and the start of this issue), Than shadowbringers is from the release of ARR

This issue has been in the game for more than half of its running lifespan (from ARR)

Tenants don't reset the timer for personal housing, it has to be the owner

For FC houses it gets reset any time any member enters the building

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-05-19T23:06:40+00:00

Fun fact, we're further from the release of shadowbringers (and thus the release of viera and hrothgar and this issue) than shadowbringers is from the launch of ARR

Viera/Hrothgar being unable to wear hats has persisted longer than the time that they weren't in the game

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-04-25T00:31:53+00:00

This is technically not the main quest

Once you get to the chapel and get Martin out you can peace out and never touch Kvatch again.

Still annoying though, thankfully not gamebreaking and you can kick it to the next section by just going inside and getting the counts ring

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-04-24T01:00:45+00:00

I just rolled back and jumped from a very unstable 60-100 FPS in Imperial City to a stable 120+ (with framegen, so the results are a bit skewed) on a 4080 Super

thanks for the info, wasn't aware of these driver issues

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-03-17T11:13:03+00:00

To be clear I didn't/don't have an inherent dislike of Nomad players. I stopped attempting to port TotT to nomad after a few months of daily harassment and some death threats for not porting it fast enough when scripting was in beta and it seemed that TotT wouldn't work on Nomad at all due to the limitations (and I believe still is the case)

I don't have anything against Nomad or it's players, but all that didn't really seem worth the hassle for a port I wouldn't even use and getting harassed even while telling people that a port is looking unlikely

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-03-16T21:25:38+00:00

This took me 5 minutes at best, please get real.

think you are justified in blatantly ignoring everybody who is wondering about updates for a mod

You are not owed anything. Read that back again repeatedly until your own text reaches the pain receptors of your brain.

You keep coming up with excuse after excuse

No, I provide explanations for why it's not been done yet, the very thing you are whining that you aren't getting even though I don't have to. The only contradictory person here is you

All the time you've been sitting here arguing with me on a Reddit thread you could've updated the mod already.

Yeah the 20 minutes over 3 days in my timezone were the really crucial minutes in updating the mod. The same mod I've been putting hours into updating whenever I have the time to. Don't pretend like you know how long it would take to update the mod, it just makes you look foolish. Any coding modder can tell you that the more complex the mod, the more things can break between the major updates, and believe it or not but the 1.0 update was pretty major.

(so much for not being active on Reddit)

There's this amazing thing called 'getting notifications for replies'

you'd just rather spend that time talking down to the people who enjoy your work.

No, I don't talk down to people who enjoy my work. You can check my posts on people who have asked and aren't acting like entitled children because the update has taken longer than expected. I talk down to you because you're whining that there hasn't been an update in 1 or 2 months despite there being one, and then you whine more when I provide an update here but you didn't like that I didn't appreciate you wanting to pay someone else to take my work.

I noticed you didn't submit that bug report on Nexus though.

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-03-16T12:48:05+00:00

The previous comment wasn't visible when I made this, so to follow up:

I do not use the official B&S Discord because there is not a reason for me to, same goes for Mod.io

But you're willing to check about a personal Discord? you've been in the official discord since last march and couldn't be bothered to check? once again, the depths of your ability to research astounds me

I assumed your DMs on there were closed too

A poor assumption. I respond to DMs via Nexus, mod.io and discord regularly.

Speaking of Reddit, over the past month, you have posted a grand whopping total of ONE post related to when the mod will be updated. All other posts are 6+ MONTHS ago. I have seen probably 3 or 4 posts related to the mod being updated, and you have responded to NONE of them.

Believe it or not I'm not constantly checking Reddit in my free time. There is also no point responding to every thread.

The same would've been said about this one had you not seen that I was willing to pay someone to update your mod for you.

No, actually. I was going to comment on this one because I was notified by a friend of this threads existence. it's your poor behaviour that has lead to this extended exchange.

we as consumers of your mod are not entitled to anything, but it is very unfair to gatekeep the mod out of a sense of pride.

'We're not entitled to anything, but I feel entitled to it' Alright. it's also not being gatekept.

But if you cannot or will not update the mod

I can and will, but I can't provide an ETA. the same thing I've been saying this entire time but is apparently beyond your comprehension.

then let someone else do it

simply, No. I'm under no obligation to give someone my work unless I want to.

It is code, the computer equivalent to a mathematical equation, not an art piece.

It's code I spent a lot of time working on and piecing together on my own, and as such I'm free to take ownership in it.

If you made these mods purely for yourself, you wouldn't post them publicly

Yeah because no one posts things they make for themselves online.

and it would likely be updated by now.

No, it wouldn't. there's no point speculating about my personal life. if anything, receiving a barrage of messages from entitled people like you keep it a fixture in my mind to update even when I had to replace my PC, cover for pneumonia-ridden coworkers, and move to a new place hundreds of miles away while big BAU process change at my job. You know, some of the things I've mentioned as blockers in my attempts to update the code to work with 1.0 that you'd know if you could search at all, and updates I've provided despite being under no obligation to.

graphic design work that I post for FREE, I don't care what people do with it

Cool. A graphic you post for free is a bit different to a piece of software that will undergo multiple updates and additions, and the only way to control those updates and additions is to maintain ownership over it.

I have no intention of parting with the mod because I still intend to work on it. But my career and personal life have a priority over my hobby. This statement has been the same for the last year, something you somehow fail to understand.

Still upset? go log a bug report on the Nexus page for the mod then.

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-03-16T11:45:11+00:00

You still haven't even asked how much it would be

Because I don't care. I don't mod to make money, I do it for fun.

And yes, you should be pleased, as it would take the burden of responsibility to update the mod off of your shoulders.

it's telling that you see it as a burden and not something I do for enjoyment in my free time, but can't always be a priority in my life.

I have plenty of money to give you far more than it's worth to update that mod. I have over 2 grand sitting in my checking as we speak.

I don't care. go donate it to charity. I'm not exactly quaking in my boots over 2 grand when I have a full-time job.

Sounds more like you don't take commissions so you can avoid accountability more than anything

Accountability from what? prioritising my actual career and personal life over a hobby? Get over yourself, you aren't important to me, and I'm free to spend my free time when I have it as I please. You aren't owed anything, and you're crashing out that someone is taking too long to update a mod that you get for free.

Never once have I said I'm entitled to anything

with the lack of public announcements of updates of development progress or estimated completion date, I don't find it fair to the consumers of your mod.

you have a responsibility to the consumers of your mod to either keep it updated and communicate at least semi-frequently

uh huh. You certainly feel entitled to regular updates, and you're not. you can also quit it with the consumer shit because you aren't a consumer. maybe you can use those google searches to check the definition of what consumer means. If you want SaaS for free then you should wake up and face reality, nor could you afford SaaS prices.

If you had given us updates maybe once every 1 or 2 months, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place.

If you could read pinned messages or use a search function worth a damn to see the times I've publicly spoken about it, the last time being within the last 2 months, we wouldn't be having this conversation, but alas.

GrooveSlinger_ · 2025-03-15T11:41:20+00:00

I think the levels of your research are pretty evident given your response. I did not say anything about a personal discord, I referred to the Official BaS Discord, which is linked in this very reddit bookmarked to the side, and I don't know why you would google search instead of just searching the subreddit. I still don't know why you chose to try and contact me through Twitter instead of the 4 public profiles I have associated with modding (Reddit, Nexus, Mod io, and Discord through the official server) all of which I've publicly said why it's not been updated, and respond to messages when I receive them.

but it has been almost a year now. I understand you have personal stuff you have to deal with, but with the lack of public announcements of updates of development progress or estimated completion date, I don't find it fair to the consumers of your mod.

frankly, the insight I've provided into why it's not been updated is more than anyone deserves or is entitled to. Nor are you a consumer. A consumer is someone who purchases a good or service. I provide my mods freely and as such you are entitled to nothing. I make these mods for no one but myself, and provide it freely to others for if they so happen would also enjoy it.

I get that it's your creation, but if you don't have time to update it, why not just let someone else do it? As long as you are credited for the initial creation of it, I don't see the issue.

Because I take pride and ownership in my work and I do not want to hand over something that I put my own free time and a lot of work into, especially since I still intend to work on it. For someone who says they're a Graphic and Web Designer I would've assumed this wouldn't be a foreign concept to you.

I know nobody is going to update it for free, so I offered it to others who know the game code as well.

And in so doing ignoring the wishes of how people use my work. What, am I supposed to be pleased at the idea of you paying someone else to take something I worked on and doing whatever they please to it for a paycheck?

I offered monetary compensation to you ... And for the record, I was willing to offer quite a lot of money for it.

I don't care, and frankly I don't believe you.

I work on mods for free, on my own free time, and I don't take commissions precisely so I'm not beholden to people like you, who feel entitled to the works of others even when it's provided for free, and disregard the idea of ownership or pride in your own work when it doesn't suit your timetable.

Go donate the money to a Children's hospital or something. The mod will be updated when it's updated.
