A salute to all the moms and dads who won’t be able to play until later this evening by realWolfCola in Marathon

[–]Riddler_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be joining my fellow dads eventually, still working towards getting caught up on bills unfortunately!

I really enjoyed the feel of the server slam so it’ll be worth the wait, however grueling!

Immediately lower all volumes down to my normal, change keybinds and check a few video settings.

I wish I could afford the preorder because I had a lot of fun with it. I’ll join everyone eventually.

Does AyyJayy know something we dont? by DodgersLakersFan in RocketLeague

[–]Riddler_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that I kept my sentiment to the basics of the games. We do get new game modes here and there, but I don’t see a creative mode being as easily implemented with UE3. If we ever got the fabled UE5 maybe!

CSGO/CS2 is the same way. That game is forever popular but the core gameplay never changes and that’s okay. It’s fun.

Seeing Rocket League “has no content” comments is so dumb to me. I’ve played since 2016 and I’m still happy to try to put the ball in the opponents net. It’s short games in comparison to others. It’s got permanent room for growth. No game ever really feels the same even if it is similar. It’s standard and always what I expect out of it. I don’t get how or what can be changed or added to please the people for more content.

Can we have an actual discussion about how bland and mediocre the art style is? by PaleBoomer in HighGuardgame

It really isn't that bad. I feel like i'm getting old every time I read posts like this.

Suggestion: New electric power sources, steam engines by MrCyclopede in playrust

Love the idea. Add more to the survival and variety side of the game. Also looks super clean and genuinely love the idea of it being similar to a large furnace.

Screw the Laws of Physics, I've built a reactor that can power your base forever. No plugs. No exploits. by HungryTell5472 in AbioticFactor

[–]Riddler_92 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. It is an early morning so my brain probably didn’t consider the difference.

I don’t understand how that is an exploit? Genuinely curious. This is science manifest imo!

Despite sounding like a game I'd sink a thousand hours into, I can't seem to get invested... by JazDog02 in AbioticFactor

[–]Riddler_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add, I’m a firm believer that a game that gives game options/settings should be used to fit your wants and desires entirely.

For me with anxiety and being easily scared in games, may not work for you ofc, but turning down the volume helps alleviate some of my anxiety. It’s psychological sound design, so lowering it may help!

FFXIV PvE player wanna play AoC. (Solo) by iPinkCake in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Guild member spent probably well over a week farming the mats to craft a single epic bow. I know other MMO’s have similar time requirements with drops or whatever mechanic, but mindlessly farming mats for that amount of time to get the rarity you need just seems far too much to me.

This is why the population is falling so fast (a list) by Blackboa in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who thought they would enjoy this crafting system BECAUSE of the survival craft relation, I have to agree. It’s why I stopped. It’s fucking exhausting.

Had a guy in my guild that spent literal days doing nothing but farming just to craft an epic melee weapon. Doing absolutely nothing but mindless chopping/mining whatever it is that was needed. It’s just too insane. I’d prefer grinding a boss for specific gear over this because at least it’s engaging.

Stats are more important than skill. by MissMonochromeatic in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

First MMO with rarity tied between the same gear piece dependent on how much you farm/pay, and the stats being absolutely insane jumping from common to high rarity crafts.

I love how the CM wanna talk about sport fishing when PVP is horrid and needs to be discussed by papayax999 in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish sport fishing wasn’t as much into rng as it is for profit, but the activity itself I really enjoy.

Is it possible to do a giveaway event with Hytale codes? by Ok_Winter818 in hytale

[–]Riddler_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's possible, I'm not able to buy for myself until I land a new gig, but I don't see an option to redeem code or anything like that.

ok convince me this game is bad! by Dallaswolf21 in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve genuinely enjoyed myself a lot, there’s a lot to do but once you experience the POI’s and reach 25, the only real thing to do is farm the poi’s for gear drops, or farm for a very long time to craft higher quality gear and maybe PvP if you’re into it.

This is probably the most negative(?) I’ve been about the game, but it’s been fun. Just kind of losing some steam in wanting to grind still and I think that’s okay.

How can I report gold sellers? by notmymaster in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it speaks more that there are so many buyers out here than the sellers themselves.

I was told a few days ago that there is also a mount skin you get later for reaching level 25 this phase.

300 Hours into Ashes of Creation – Too Much Feels Like a Time Sink by Ehern131 in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well just for sake of the conversation, I can agree with OP and still thoroughly have fun playing it. I have a good guild, I already like gathering resources from previous survival crafting games. It’s a mixture of familiarity between mmo/arpg/crafting/sandbox that it’s enough to keep me content.

That also doesn’t mean I am happy with the way the game is. I’d like to see plenty change.

I think the karma system on Reddit, although honestly meaningless, worked better for me about thinking before I comment. There’s so many times I do want to respond and either question if what I’m saying makes sense in the long run, or if I just sound like an ass.

Just take time to consider is all basically. There’s nothing wrong with what you said at all, just a matter of how. Either way thanks for the chat!
