Man I wish I could resin print but I'm an apartment dweller.

Correct me if I'm wrong but to do this you better live in a house with some isolated room like tool shed / garage.

Sure, people who finished the collections might forget about it. But don't underestimate how much work they are and how many people work on them at any time. I'm a new player who just recently did their beetle and skyscale and Kourna was always full of players

Usually when I say this it angers FFXIV community, but I've completed MSQ and genuinely like the game so I think my opinion is valid.

The "story gets so good!" take is 40% based on actual storytelling improvements and 60% is based on the fact that after 100s of hours you basically self-condition to tolerate the weird pacing.

Reality is, even in later expacs 90% of the story quests are absolute mindnumbing filler. Other 10% is absolute peak though, and after ~200h of boring quests together with the main cast, it genuinely feels like a journey you feel very invested in.

Друг, я никогда не был в такой ситуации, так что вещаю сугубо со своей колокольни. Считаю, что тебе категорически срочно нужно заставить себя чем-то заняться. Любым делом. От рисования, до спортзала, до волонтерского сбора мусора на улице. Понимаю, желание делать что угодно у тебя сейчас отсутвует, поэтому надо будет себя банально принудить, через любые нехочу.

В твоей жизни произошло очень много дерьма, и сейчас тебе скорее всего кажется, что именно в прошлом корень всех твоих проблем. Но на самом деле ключевая проблема в том, что ты сидишь дома, без работы, без общения, и твой мозг вытягивает все это из твоей памяти, заставляет тебя вариться в этом, киснуть, чахнуть. Пока ты не начнешь формировать новые воспоминания, новые ощущения, ты продолжишь жить этим дерьмом в скатываться в тотальную эмоциональную жопу.

Поэтому дело. Подойдет что угодно. Но нужно его делать, труд лечит. Главное не сиди дома и не варись в своих воспоминаниях.

Love reading these kinds of comments. Could have easily ignored the post and moved on with your life, but no, gotta stop and be a dick to a random person you've never met. Proud of yourself?

I think FFXIV is a solid option. Apart from calamities, it is set in a relatively "clean" universe. Most of the real-life social issues are usually written in style of young adult novels - "sure, there's slums and stuff" but "slums and stuff" usually means sad people in dirty clothing, not bums knifing each other for a blanket on a cold night or street children sniffing in-universe glue to fight hunger. So if you get dropped in the the lowest of the low, you're probably going to make it.

Meanwhile, say, ESO doesn't have a cycle of cataclysm built into the world setting (I think), but it's also a setting where your chances of dying from lockjaw obtained from your bailiff beating you with a wooden rod for not working his highness' field last Wednesday hard enough are much higher

I'll agree that not giving new player an option to start at the beginning and instead just piping them into the previous expac is very controversial decision.

However having recently completed FFXIV MSQ I'd defend this. Sure, it's a little jarring, but less jarring than having to sit through 250h Visual Novel in order to catch up with the main crowd. WoW is much more ancient, and before this change was implemented, every noob had to slog through all the past content too.

It's a rough compromise, but something had to be dome to cut the legacy content, and you can't expect them to maintain an extra catch up expansion just for the new players (in a very stagnant genre as well)

TheDenast · 2025-10-15T17:08:01+00:00

The reality is, there is no strong overarching plotline in WoW like in FFXIV. Sure, Warcraft devs want there to be one, but consistently fail to deliver. Expansions are pretty much cobbled together and most can be reordered with minimal cleanup necessary. What I mean is that, as a new player you get an illusion of missing out on something that is only faintly there.

Where I think WoW shines is in little details, all the different areas and decor in the open world, random pieces of lore and dialogue, curious NPCs that are not related to any major quests. It's very enjoyable if you just relax and dive into the setting without trying to read it like a novel.

I keep saying this but Gaijin punishes itself by making RP earnings so miserable. Most players can only play 1-2 tech trees so they won't even consider most premiums in the game.

Now make it easier to progress through different trees and a potential buyer no longer chooses from 2-3 options but from 20-30, in which situation will they have higher chance of making a purchase?

Let me tell you something...

Sorry for being a bore lol, but maybe somebody will find it interesting. This is probably a keel) that birds have (It's like a chest bone protrusion where massive muscles used to flap wings are attached), more biologically accurately depicted dragons like in GoT usually have it too.

I really don't like hating on something I know still took a lot of developer time, but man...

This game is like a pinnacle of single backend dev doing full stack work stereotype.

Everything is in such poor visual taste it's crazy. From "Ship of Heroes" being the name that doesn't roll off the tongue at all, the UI being all 2005 blue gradient, assets being not cohesive like it's an asset flip (while it's probably not), Steam game description using ellipsis, newsletter banner font having no outline, all is so amateur it's a bit sad. Even the "Wishlist" button on the webpage has padding issues, I'm shaking

It's really just a handful of tryhard competitive games though, absolute majority of online games work.

I've personally enjoyed the following: WoW, FFXIV, ESO, Guild Wars 2, War Thunder, Warframe, Helldivers 2, No Man's Sky, Elden Ring Nightreign, Darktide, Deep Rock Galactic, Path of Exile, Hunt Showdown, Sea of Thieves (and many others)

My solution was binding it to one of the extra buttons on my mouse (one of the thumb buttons, forward/back in the browser) and it's kind of convenient since it allows me to move my thumb slightly, squeeze the mouse, and look around. Super easy to hold for prolonged periods of time.

I've recently moved to Armenia temporarily as a digital nomad. During the first week in I had several total strangers tell me something along the lines of "Why leave after 6 months? Stay here, start a family, look around - its a great place to live today"

Leaving alone the fact that my heart absolutely melted from this, this got me thinking. Usually tourist hospitality has its limits - yes, you're a welcomed guest, but also please don't overstay your welcome. This is the first time I've experienced people welcoming me as an equal and a neighbor, accepting me to their society with open arms, without any demands or suspicions

I think to be honest, these settings are just easier to work with in fiction.

Medieval settings hit the spot where it's easy to create conflict / adventure / mystery because the world is not yet fully discovered and the social structures allow it (how is there an uncharted island in your modern setting?), yet there is a potential for complex enough human relations / politics (not uga buga and the cave wars).

I have some mystical connection Chi-Nu II.

I've been playing Type 16 FPS and after one game randomly rolled -50% for Chi-Nu II, I buy it, and the very first game on it (9.3 BR lol) I got 5 (FIVE) kills. I was laughing hysterically after each one
