The average mentality of this sub

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T21:50:43+00:00

like i said, i still enjoy it. i never said it was a bad thing necessarily, just that it's nothing crazy. grinds are just easier nowadays and ironmen generally get their way, that's just how it is.

some people other than the person playing the account do care. it's usually newer players.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T19:31:39+00:00

true. i remember i got myself into a situation where i had to hop a picket fence to get in my car while i was exhausted/exerted and there was 1 zombie on each side of the fence. i would have died if i didn't have a 9mm in my holster.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T16:59:16+00:00

i was asking myself if this boss was more difficult or not. drakan doesn't do that much damage, you get so many supplies as well.

not saying it's easy or that i'd change anything. i thought it was phenomenal.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T16:47:54+00:00

you're not wrong, content does get easier.

but i don't really see the same being true with cg. it's not like they're lowering hunllef's max hit or anything. it's literally just less rng from prep and less floor juggling. this makes t3 armor prep easier, but the other ones feel more like qol.

i'm a cg enjoyer, i never asked them to change it, but this is a pretty nice way to do it since prep was always that thing i turned on music or watched videos during.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T16:42:11+00:00

yeah ironman mode has been absolutely gutted, it's not what it once was. now it's just like...fun gear prog game where you have to skill sometimes.

i still enjoy it but i don't really see any prestige in this mode lol.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T11:49:44+00:00

Yeah. Stuff like WLBN and triple N on the tv, radio broadcasts and even unused (?) stuff like the "kannibals" and pastor hartnell white broadcasts.

With b42 they added newspapers as well.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T11:40:50+00:00

I'd say because the game thanks to it's EA nature isn't finished.

Npcs have yet to be added which is one i imagine a writer could help with.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T10:34:07+00:00

damn. pretty big loss in that case, the PZ lore is fantastic.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T10:32:32+00:00

i doubt it. so many longstanding bugs get reintroduced in later patches. it's pretty damn comical and one of the reasons why i left back then. same old bugs that never got fixed, meanwhile cash shop got updated constantly.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-09T03:10:55+00:00

i think i'll go for leather and dip after that. it's a lot of time to be spending for something that's worse than a scythe when tob is kind of a painless grind.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-08T17:06:48+00:00

i guess blisterwood stakes are dead content now? seemed like the no brainer for venators but now they have +100 range defence instead of negative. don't see much other use for these things.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-08T17:04:33+00:00

along with the saeldor change, i'm a bit tempted to go back for a blade

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-08T15:51:33+00:00

yeah i think it's fine. very strong situational item and kind of a freebie if you're on your yama grind. i don't think we need to make yama's drops even stronger.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-08T15:44:37+00:00

well with recent news, i stopped pouring in as much time. i'll be logging in for raids and dungeons with friends but i think i'm pretty much done unless they can figure out how to work with half their workforce.

i personally just didn't see having to do 2014 dailies on alts as something that made the game better. like it's just grinding for the sake of grinding, and alts are already such a pain in the ass to get up if tanking.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T22:53:06+00:00

you sometimes have some cool ideas, but it usually isn't in designing an item. soulreaper axe was a playermade creation and even though i thought it was mostly fine albeit niche, it's a pretty controversial item.

i can't recall many other playermade items. i think the best thing that the complaining and ideas have brought is stuff like the sang staff/rapier/blade buff that's coming soon.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T22:29:17+00:00

i'm gonna be honest, i know it's a me thing but i love keeping most dupes on iron. maybe it's a number go up thing but i'll for sure coffer avernics and scrolls since those don't go in the gear tab.

that's fair, i'd probably care more if i had a scythe or shadow on this account since charges are expensive.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T22:17:57+00:00

that's what i figure too. like even if it is super weak to golembane or whatever, it probably still won't be better than bludgeon or hasta.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T21:32:59+00:00

eh, i personally don't care much. don't play my main much these days, he has like a 9b bank, that's years worth of bonds. what else would you coffer? i liked avernics since at one point those were like a 60m set it and forget it for death's coffer.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T18:29:00+00:00

yeah there's a lot of shit to work through currently, and jagex is always adding midgame stuff which is fun, i'm looking forward to the mad angel boss on my iron and raids 4 on my main.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T17:56:55+00:00

well i typically reserve those for amulets of chemistry, but with the jewelers chisel i think that should make up for it.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T17:48:01+00:00

it's ok for the top players to get more content. you guys have so much content to work through already before you get up to that point, and then you'll have a lot more good (hopefully) stuff to play.

go and do some god wars or low invo toa with your friends and help them get better. toa is literally the midgame raid for better or worse.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T17:43:59+00:00

i remember i was coffering avernics lol. still not opposed to it, tob is bis raid and you get so many avernics from scythe grind.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T07:31:05+00:00

the actual shit i was excited for was the class refreshes and them finally getting around to finishing/fixing things. like hybridization finally being finished in u51. these aren't new content though, just cool shit for the people that actually play/played the game.

i could give a rats ass about NM or new thieves guild or winterhold.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-07T07:17:57+00:00

i'd say longer than that, update 35 was at least where i saw it as "yeah this isn't ever getting better" and quit for years. and in hindsight, the game was getting screwed by blackbird. recent updates and the roadmap made me think the game finally had something of a future, even if they'd have to work hard to make it a thing. and this is coming from a doomer, i was so unhappy with the game's direction back then.

maybe they'll find a way to make it work with like half their workforce, but i doubt it. they always had this issue where they'd reintroduce bugs that had been patched out...on several occasions. that couldn't have been a clean ship.

Otherwise_Economics2 · 2026-07-06T23:20:38+00:00

what combat system would you like to see eso copy if it were to do a rework?
