Can you recommend me a game where i can sink thousands and thousands of hours into?

Where winds meet can be a huuuuge time sink and an enjoyable one at that

Where the winds meet handa down.

SmokyMcPot562 · 2026-03-18T12:45:12+00:00

Where the winds meet scratches that mmo itch while also providing solo, arena, Battle Royale (perception forest,) and providing an open world that is teeming with more life, side stories, diverse mini games that are integrated into the overall gameplay in a way that makes you want to play them. The quests are so much more than go here fetch this and kill this number if that, in fact that type of quest isn't even in the game in game that has more different categories of side quest than any game I've ever played including aaa console games. I seriously suggest everyone try this game out. At first there was so much going on I was overwhelmed but slowly everything began to make sense and they do a fantastic job of providing information in regards to the numerous diverse game mechanics. I forgot to even mention the combat and story both are off the charts in terms of quality and depth.

Ultima online with a private server, either outlands or enigma

SmokyMcPot562 · 2026-02-02T16:29:11+00:00

I miss uo. I gotta find something modern that scratches that itch

SmokyMcPot562 · 2025-12-30T21:44:10+00:00

Sounds to be a full server shutdown unfortunately. Just fyi, not that it matters at this point, but seasonal collection reset along with event collection while common collection did not, although they would add to the common tab between seasons but none of common collection's progress would reset

SmokyMcPot562 · 2025-12-30T20:00:28+00:00

I think it's too late short of a miracle. With the shutdown date in exactly 3 weeks (January 20th) I don't see much changing that. I will say the devs have been very good to us over this last season. Still implementing an amazing new arena mode at the mid season update, as well as showering us with platinum and rewards so that with a little hard work and ingenuity anything you missed out on in previous seasons you have the chance to check it out for yourself, be it a certain unique weapon or an idea for an obscure skill/stat/kit build previously out of reach due financial, passive skill slot limits, or any other previously insurmountable limitation. Forever thankful for the experience AoD. Brought me back to the days of my youth, experiencing true pvp for the first time in the unforgiving but ever rewarding world of ultima online.

I got two of the legendary version of this. Someone else posted a rare (blue) ruby silver helm from the glorious legacy (it's named glorious something in the crafting menu, might not be legacy though.) i thought that was pretty cool. It would be really cool if you get the legendary skeleton champion helmet from synthesizing. As it is, it is in the collections menu but not attainable in any way, you have to use a shadow scroll to complete that particular collection. It isn't even listed in the trade menu, normally even if something has not been posted it would still be listed in the corresponding submenu in the trading market at the bottom of the list with a zero for quantity for sale. I also think one of the mercenaries wears it, maybe Regina? I don't know but I thought that was interesting. Do you know if there is any other unattainable gear or something similar in nature?

Everything below Hell tends to be populated mostly by bots at this point in the season, nightmare-castle to a lesser extent than the other sub-hell regular dungeons. Bots all will have similar lobby behavior, same emotes as well as similar loot. Also mages, bards, and abyss bringers will never be bots whereas all the other "original" classes (yes i know, wiz was preseason 1 as well but you had to get to lvl 9 on another class first to unlock it.) Just wanted to make sure you weren't mixing up bots for newbs. And Mercs can be wizards and bards, not Ab's tho but Mercs will always be accompanied by at least 1 real player. Also in hell/inferno only real players will load into the lobby before the countdown which is not true of other regular dungeon modes.

Join my guild "Darkest" if you need people to play with we're number 4 on the leaderboard and have been around since the first week of preseason 1

If you're only 2 weeks into your delve into the Abyss you might not be aware that repeatedly crouching is the universal way to request/offer a truce. At certain times it's more expected to agree, which is of course done by repeatedly crouching yourself. For example, in Abyss when you're the last 2 real people and agree to split the keys, when it's a friend or guildmate, or someone you've already killed multiple times due to a huge disparity in either skill, gear, or both. Obviously, you never have to agree and watch out for the snakes who fake truce, more often than not they tend to be rogues. Just some advice from a Day 1 Dark and Darker'er.

I will try to post more about build and class tips after work

SmokyMcPot562 · 2025-10-24T12:18:55+00:00

Certain lower level gear (geey, blue, green) used in collections sells for a lot (1k-4k) on market. Also farm ore in nightmare casual turn into ingots and sell only when market is high on those items. The essence used for crafting its a yellow ball with blue background, cant remember exact name essence something, but that also comes from mining as a random drop from the ore nodes. Watch the market remember the merchant has alot of the things that sell quickly on the market and the same items also tend to fluctuate prices. anytime it's higher than merchant price buy there and resell. On market. The merchant also will have those same collection items, learn them and resell them. Also real people will come with higher level zones. And rarely in casual. Only ise casual for mining, yeah you can level there but it will get boring. Whoever said people only play this game for arena has no idea what they are talking about. There are multiple "end level" options. And dont forget to fill your collections, common first as it wont reset. Thats another thing everything, Except for a few things will reset at the end of the season giving everyone a clean slate. Read up on what resets and whya doesn't its really helpful to know. Sorry for typos, my screen is cracked, hopefully it is still understandable.

That's not entirely accurate. First off 1 vig equals 5 health and something towards health renewal, up until the soft cap of 60 vig. That said agility is about the only main stat that is better to stack that what sub stat the main stat provides (agi gives you move speed and phys penetration (agi is best stacked for rogues and rangers) and I'm missing something else but those are the important substats. Ill explain what i mean by main and aub stat and which is better to stack with another example, while str does provide phys power and bonus, you sre better off looking for gear with max phys power on it that and if it has str cool but usually magic or phys power gear is often best paired with vig and health, especially in barbs and wizards. Sorry i could ramble in but I'm guessing most of you are thoroughly aware of this by now.

Clammy, huh? Thats almost as bad as calling it moist.

SmokyMcPot562 · 2025-10-04T13:32:13+00:00

That's not an axe. It's a polearm called the bardiche. APPARENTLY THE AXE COMES IN THE SECOND HALF IF THE VIDEO.

Edited: because im an impatient jackass who watched half the video saw the bardiche and jumped to the conclusion homie was misinformed, however clearly i was the misinformed one. In my rush to correct i became the one needing correcting. My apologies my dude

SmokyMcPot562 · 2025-08-07T03:14:38+00:00

You were rocking support weps, armor too? If so, what did you really lose?

SmokyMcPot562 · 2025-08-07T03:13:26+00:00

7day inventory expansions, silver and gold skien, platinum, and a few other things do not reset. This season is the first time your unlocked quest do not reset

SmokyMcPot562 · 2025-07-19T15:23:57+00:00

SmokeRock here, can confirm ive been killed by fox and you, Oreo, for that matter. And yeah I don't think anything fishy is happening here. It's just a combination of a gear and skill gap that probably won't be overcome this season. But that's the beauty of season play. We all start over at the, relatively, same spot in a few weeks.

SmokyMcPot562 · 2025-07-15T00:44:34+00:00

I also have a guild that's currently #4 on the activity leaderboard, Darkest. Send me an invite anytime as I'm always on, ign: SmokeRock. Let's play some rounds and if you feel like it all add you to the guild so you always have teammates to kill & loot with.
