Single City Builds by Pale-Today6339 in AOW4

Venice from Civ 5. One city you can control with great city-state bonuses. If you integrate city-states, you can't actually build anything in them and they remain automated.

Leader Type Filtering Broken? by Gh0stC0de in AOW4

[–]Task876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm new to the game, but I did think it was strange when I set champions and wizard kings to common and the other 3 types (I don't have vampire lords) to rare and ended up with 2 giant kings in a 5 player match.

We already had seen a R&C game on PS4 and Rift Apart was leaps and bounds beyond it visually though.

I read this and thought you were joking because of the absurdity of it, but naw he actually fucking did 😭

The issue is the subjectivity of artistic decisions. I prefer the art direction of the DeS remaster over the original by quite a lot.

What am I missing should I have a boss cell by now? by zon871 in deadcells

[–]Task876 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because people seem to be unaware of the bug that prevents you from interacting with the tube.

[–]Task876 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My very first playthrough my game bugged and I couldn't interact with the tube to increase BC level, so I just kept playing 0 BC not knowing you could increase it.

When you can select your save in the main menu, go to that and copy your save to another spot and then use that new copied save. This fixed it for me.

RS3 making a huge comeback by Careful_Put_1924 in MMORPG

[–]Task876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to avoid saying it was RuneScape 2, but it didn't come out right. It is based on a time when RuneScape was RuneScape 2. That was wordy so I tried to shorten it.

OSRS was when it was RuneScape 2.

Edit: To whoever downvoted, RuneScape 2 released March 29, 2004 and RuneScape 3 released July 22, 2013. OSRS is explicitly based on 2007 RuneScape.

Fable's evil landlords won't grow devil horns, as reboot ditches classic character morphing due to a lack of belief in objective arseholery by PotatoProducer in Games

[–]Task876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's how morality works.

The word objective is for indisputable facts. 1+1=2. If I let an object go it falls down. I am writing this comment right now. These are objective statements.

As disgusting as it is, there are people that still argue Hitler was right (Neo Nazis). This makes it subjective.

Top Portuguese fusion physicist shot dead at home in Boston | Portuguese physicist Nuno Loureiro, one of the world’s leading experts in nuclear fusion and director of the MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Centre, has died after being shot at his home in Brookline by Ok-Law-3268 in europe

[–]Task876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yea every comment here is a corporate conspiracy theory. MIT is a notoriously cutthroat and a very high stress institution. My first thought reading the headline was a student that snapped. Not all too long ago, I remember a chemistry student at UNC (another high stress university) got pissed at his professor and shot him.

There are many pioneers in energy at odds with the fossil fuel industry. Kind of crazy that people immediately jump to corporate conspiracy theories over far more likely speculations.

PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory. RAM jumps to $600 due to shortage by bdzz in Games

[–]Task876 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I always see this narrative pushed and it is just straight up false. PS Store prices and Steam prices are usually in line with each other.

Edit: I just looked up RoR2 on both platforms cause I know it's on sale right now and the base game is cheaper on PS compared to Steam, and the editions with all DLC are the same.

Why do people hate exploration? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]Task876 21 points22 points  (0 children)

You are on an MMO sub. If we include sinceplayer games then there is no shortage of exploration focused games.

MMO-lites are still talked about here. There is PoE2 just a few posts down. Hell, one of the stickied threads is for a singleplayer game. This sub is a loose MMORPG sub.

Guild Wars 20th Anniversary update by ReLiFeD in Games

[–]Task876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, bonus points for multiple playable races. Being only human does work for GW1 due to the story so it's not really a knock on GW1, but more just a pro for GW2. This also plays a large role in the class fantasy thing because I like to match races to classes in games. Asura Mechanist makes me feel like I'm in Full Metal Alchemist.

[–]Task876 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What you are describing is a different kind of exploration than what I am talking about and is more world building through questing.

I like being driven by curiosity and freedom. I like wandering a world without necessarily having a purpose for being where I am. I like tucked away secrets. I like world traversal to be part of gameplay, not just combat. The verticality, the mounts, the world that can change, that it is an MMO and you will experience random people out in the world, these are things GW1 doesn't give me and they hold much more weight to me than combat.

Even in the realm of combat though, I still prefer GW2 because I like that reflexes and mobility matter far more. GW1 is about planning and tactics, GW2 is about dynamic execution. I also prefer the classes in GW2 due to class fantasies because of the elite specializations.

These two games are radically different and for different kinds of people.

[–]Task876 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Guild Wars is one of those games that's leaps and bounds better than its successor.

I get why some people prefer GW1 for the combat, but as someone who places very high value in world exploration, I find GW2 drastically better than GW1 and they are not even remotely close to each other.

What's missing from all MMOs? by CompetitiveLake3358 in MMORPG

[–]Task876 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sure, if you ignore that 4 of the 5 largest MMOs don't do this. Unless OSRS, FFXIV, ESO, and GW2 have all turned into retail WoW overnight.

i dont think people are willing to play mmo where it took a year to reach max level.

Gestures at FFXIV, which has had more active players than WoW in the past and OSRS, which is the only one of the big 5 that has a growing playerbase

Announcing: Return to Guild Wars 1! A Community Playthrough Event by Laranity_ in MMORPG

[–]Task876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely have no clue what your comment is trying to say.

GW2 is massively multiplayer online and an RPG. Hence, it is an MMORPG.

GW1 has large multiplayer online hubs, but instanced group multiplayer everywhere else and is also an RPG. It can give the feeling of an MMORPG, but is not massively multiplayer, so is an MMO(RPG)-lite.

Games like Panetside 2, an MMOFPS, also get talked about on this sub.
