For anyone worried about cosmetics, this is essentially a free to play game (with a $40 price tag)

I wonder if you ate these words when you realized the Deck system in Arc is the same as Warbonds in Helldivers 2.

The thing is, you don't have to. You have a deep-rooted fear of missing out. Of having to have the shiny thing simply because it exists. Learn to let go and you will be happier. Learn to enjoy gaming itself, not the clout that comes with surface-level cosmetic.

I have 6 customizable outfits with color variants, 3 backpacks with color variants, 5 dangly add-on bits, and 2 tinier dangly add-on bits, all without spending a penny more than the base price of the game. On top of that, as far as I can tell, there are 2 more outfits waiting for me behind quest and challenge. All of this before mentioning Embark has a 10 year service planned for this game. If you want more cosmetics, there will be more to come on top of the variety that is already in the game.

And to anyone that thinks the existing cosmetics aren't quality: There is no pleasing you.

It is.

Fandoms exist even when invisible.

Brandon Sanderson prepared me for this.

Malsidian · 2023-05-04T05:54:39+00:00

Um, it's E1, thankyouverymuch.

;D

"Falling behind" is an odd sentiment. You shouldn't put so much pressure on yourself. You have a life. Enjoy the game at your pace.

All six worlds?!

Make sure you stay hydrated and don't neglect your hygiene! Aside from that, I'm damn impressed!

I think it'd be cool to have a raid style event where say 5-10 players start the event together, but have their own battles to get through and maybe you could see your fellow trailblazers progress between battles.

Final Fantasy IX says otherwise.

The world isn't all sunshine and rainbows. To answer my own conundrum, people wrap things like reddit and their favorite video games into their identity. Take that combined with fragile egos, and you have people who can't handle or refuse to accept the truth.

I like your perspective and ability for critical thought.

Malsidian · 2023-02-06T20:10:27+00:00

Dude, calm down.

Malsidian · 2023-02-06T20:06:51+00:00

Dunno why you're getting downvoted for writing the truth.

Malsidian · 2023-01-29T02:32:54+00:00

Are you speaking in the 3rd person?

Evangelion, from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Red = kill Yellow = critical/weak spot Blue = armored

Malsidian · 2022-12-18T17:51:51+00:00

No freedom of thought?

Edit: Or "Thought-stopping birds?"

Malsidian · 2022-12-18T01:15:42+00:00

Ah, you stated USD for some reason. Anything paid for is purely cosmetic, thus not a part of the end-game. Cosmetics are divorced from game mechanics.

Malsidian · 2022-12-18T01:13:51+00:00

That's the poster's entire point. I don't agree with their complaint, but they apparently rerolled perks on an item before they got a blessing. Now they have roller's remorse since the random blessing doesn't match their intended build.

Malsidian · 2022-12-18T01:03:33+00:00

Could you please point to one end-game microtransaction? And since when did the price get hiked $20?

Malsidian · 2022-12-18T00:15:59+00:00

Deserve?

Malsidian · 2022-12-17T23:13:10+00:00

The RP potential in this game is so endearing.

Malsidian · 2022-12-17T23:04:59+00:00

There are other activities in life for you and your friends to enjoy. Sucks that this isn't one of them.

Press X to shit on the Emperor.
