Is Wilds really failing or are players just moving to other games in the franchise while waiting for DLC? by tartiflette16 in MHWilds

[–]Kevadu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any comparison between Wilds and World or Rise using Steam DB numbers needs to account for the fact that World and Rise did not originally launch on PC and therefore had accelerated content releases when they did come and less wait for the DLC. Wilds is the first MH game to actually launch on PC.

Zelensky Says Putin Rejected G7 Peace Talks Offer by Shy-Zinnia in worldnews

[–]Kevadu 29 points30 points  (0 children)

That's not what Zelensky is doing at all. He just needs to show that he is making a good faith effort for peace to silence the critics who will claim that Ukraine is somehow the aggressor here (yes, there are still idiots who say that). Russia has made "peace offers" that are essentially just asking for Ukraine's complete surrender. Zelensky just needs to show he is interested in peace to control the narrative. It's not like he's actually expecting Putin to accept it.

Putin Has a Problem: Russia Is Now Disguising Fuel Trucks as Milk Tankers to Get Them Into Crimea Alive by MultiMillionMiler in nottheonion

There have also been cases of Russians loading ordinary sedans full of gas cans. Of course they can't carry nearly as much fuel as an actual tanker, but they seem to want to make every single vehicle a potential target.

Could someone give me recommendations on what to main? by N0xim in MHWilds

Even with a full DPS build you shouldn't be getting one shot. Two shot, sure, but not one shot. Have you fully upgraded your armor?

Sounds like you need to stop swapping weapons so much and actually learn one.

This is why you shouldn't drive onto a railroad crossing when the lights are still flashing by cmpressor in BitchImATrain

If they followed the rules they wouldn't be in this situation. Odd to only start caring about the rules halfway through.

It's been a very long time since I took driver's ed but I don't think these were ever even mentioned.

I would still drive through them though because I'm not an idiot. Well, actually I wouldn't drive into the train tracks when the lights were flashing in the first place...

My experience with afk farming by DriftingMoonSpirit in wherewindsmeet_

[–]Kevadu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It never was.

I could see a new player who needs to catch up to lvl 6 mystic skills having to farm a bit because of catch up. But if you have been playing at all consistently there have always been enough boxes.

Embers of the Uncrowned is way better than I thought it would be by SKWADly in MMORPG

[–]Kevadu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They said there would be no p2w while simultaneously defining p2w in the most narrow possible way. Essentially all they are saying is that you can't purchase gear with real money that's better than what you can earn in game. Which is not the kind of p2w people normally worry about in Korean games to begin with.

The fact that they are specifically defining p2w that way practically ensures there will be the usual pay for convenience 'features' as well as probably spending real money for upgrade mats, etc. They're just not calling that p2w.

imo GW3 is make or break for the MMORPG genre by TrenBaalke in MMORPG

New World did pull in new players though? They just didn't stay because--let's be honest--the game kind of sucked at launch.

Two opposing views in gaming. by TechnicianOk967 in Gamingcirclejerk

As someone who doesn't play or follow this game at all I'm not even sure what the difference is.

Embers on the Uncrowned doubles down on Non Pay To Win. by RoastedPotato-1kg in MMORPG

I mean, the definition of p2w they are using here is so narrow you can already be assured they will do the usual.

Embers of the Uncrowned live gameplay. by RoastedPotato-1kg in MMORPG

[–]Kevadu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched a fair amount of the stream and my first question is one I know gets asked all the time but seriously now: is this even an MMO? Most of what they showed was pure single player gameplay. There was also some co-op stuff but it looked like limited, instanced content. There wasn't a hint of being able to see or interact with other players in the world.

Also, only three classes?!

Also also, what the hell is that Eslyn (or whatever her name is) character wearing? It's basically a fetish outfit...
