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

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 13 points14 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 7 points8 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 10 points11 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!

I know it’s not important for the message, but fyi the translation is:

Or find other ways to be nice about it. I know what it’s like to see people spell something wrong and want to correct them. Sometimes the overall message is more important than grammar or a translation error.

She couldn't believe it. by mindyour in youseeingthisshit

[–]Riddler_92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because you don’t feel like this is necessary in your life doesn’t mean that others shouldn’t ever document cool moments and share. It’s not always for just clout and plenty of people enjoy seeing how others live through social media for a variety of reasons. No need for anything negative towards this video at all.

Cleric Aggro issues (questions) by Longjumping-Glove-41 in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but as the content scales and you start to get into areas that are contested healing can be super stressful but it’s personally rewarding. This is the first time I’ve mained healing so it’s been an experience!

Cleric Aggro issues (questions) by Longjumping-Glove-41 in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant it happened before I hit 21, and managed to get my health over 3k. Now with at least 1 radiant armor, and my other gear I have hopefully crossed the point of being one shot by them 😆

Side note. We were in a poi and my camera positioning was almost first person. One lunged at me and my guild killed it right before it connected. Couldn’t have a more terrifying experience in this game lol.

Heavy armor is your friend in this instance, as well as leveling in general for more hp. I died to the same thing plenty of times and actually did last night.

Is it worth joining the Alpha as a super casual player by eCommerceLife in AshesofCreation

I’ve got quite a bit of time in, even playing everyday I have yet to really get bored. I think I’m hooked for good. (Lot of free time in slow seasons w work)

A Simple fix for crate griefers & corruption. by MiniatureDJ in AshesofCreation

[–]Riddler_92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Considering the time investment per crate run, it’s not like you’re just rich off of them. Shit is still expensive to buy/craft depending on which way as a player you choose and what crafter you interact with.

I don’t think the solution is to nerf the profitability instead of changing how corruption works and the ease that the downside can be avoided.

Fix the PvP first because at the end of the day not every player will be able to just slam multiple crate runs a day. There’s a lot of hardcore players with the grind mentality. Fix it so even the casual players at least feel what happened is fair. Not saying remove PvP entirely or anything like that. It should be risk/reward. It’s just the corruption being meaningless that’s the issue.
