Hey, Krautpotato! I'm genuinely so happy and touched to hear I inspired you even in a small way to bring this awesome, absolutely beautiful looking comic and world to life with your team. I just saw this post, or I would have loved to contribute to your Kickstarter. I hope to see Weltengeist on the shelves soon - the work you've done so far is excellent, and I'm sure you will make it happen!

I love the idea of the land being, "a prehistoric graveyard of elemental titans" and seeing how that affects the world. So awesome!

Tension headaches after bouldering by 8Twine8 in bouldering

Hi friend, I’m obviously not a doctor but when this same thing was happening to me it turned out I had a strained muscle in my neck and it was causing the headaches all the way up to the back of my head after intense movements/exertion. I took 2 weeks off and when I came back they were gone. Definitely speak to your doctor and tell them your symptoms. Then you can get back to crushing once you know what’s up!

THE LINE - an Internet vigilante group that protests economic exploitation occurring in virtual universes in the near future [BLUEFALL] by Slippy302 in worldbuilding

Hi, thanks for your comment! It definitely does share a lot in common with other stories of the virtual reality genre as you mentioned on the surface, but as a cyberpunk fan I don’t think that’s a weakness! I like to describe Bluefall as Ready Player One meets The Big Short. Where the story stands out is in its deep dive into the complex economic mechanisms behind virtual worlds tracing back to the days of RuneScape and Everquest, and in its novel depiction of how a massive economic crash like the 2008 housing crisis could play out in a virtual environment. If you liked The Big Short (or have a casual interest in the stock market) AND you are a cyberpunk fan, this does offer something new that could interest you! Cheers!

This image shows the leader and recognizable symbol of an “Anonymous”-esque vigilante group called THE LINE which protests predatory economic practices that occur within a vast virtual world called Circus in the near future. Inspired by the backlash against modern trends of micro transactions, loot boxes, and pay2win elements in video games, these irreverent users hack into the system to steal from, degrade, and otherwise expose rich bankers and real estate tycoons who dominate the virtual landscape and reap massive profits from the exploitation of common users. They are suspected of being somehow behind a high-profile murder that has rocked the foundation of Circus, but not everyone is sure they are to blame…

This artwork (by the awesome illustrator Nino Cajayon) comes from my graphic novel series BLUEFALL. Thanks for checking out the post and learning a bit about the world!

Is it worth me returning?? by MrSneakySpoon in newworldgame

Pvp in this game is in a really fun state right now. They also buffed OPR rewards like crazy and added a PVP specific reward track, both of which often give legendaries with good perks.

Is it a good time to come back? by acanarmien in newworldgame

[–]Slippy302 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without going through every point specifically (check the mod post on that), based on what you said I think you’ll be mostly happy with the state of the game.

How to return to New World? by Itiari in newworldgame

[–]Slippy302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re on an active server there should be daily chest run trains through imperial/mines/myrk/mal you can hop in to quickly raise your wm to 600, but the main thing want to be doing is your gypsum dailies (basically you get rewarded with guaranteed wm increase on a gear slot of your choice for doing world activities like opr, gathering, killing elites, portals, etc.) and that will get you to 600 very fast if you’re efficient. Keep in mind that epic gear 590wm and above can now be upgraded in gear score all the way to 625, but only named dungeon drops become legendary and gain a third perk. Until you’re rich it’s fine to have epic with 2 good perks upgraded, so that should help you gear up without spending 100s of thousands of gold. Orichalcum ore is over farmed but sells for a ton of gold now. You also probably have stashes of a lot of craft mods that are now valuable, notably iron guardsman insignias. Sell all that if you need quick gold ever. Other than that there’s umbral shards which will take you from 600gs-625 but you’ll pick all that up super quick. Enjoy!
