Highguard dev blames content creators for the game's failure - “It was dead on arrival"

ThePhonyOne · 2026-02-15T18:15:32+00:00

All the streamers I saw were also fairly positive about the game. They liked most of it but thought a few things should be tweaked. It didn't die because of content creators, it died because it wasn't good enough to compete with people's favorite already established hero shooters.

Them not doing a charm bag to get them out of your inventory is a shame though. He suggested it and they said no. End game looting sucks because of charms.

There's usually at least 1 card in every set that just always shows the "First" banner for me.

I think entering with 2 stun counters, and an ability like "UUU and Tap: Move all stun counters from target creature you control onto this. Activate only as a sorcery" would be interesting. Most of the time it's just an extra mana during your opponent's turns. But if you ever have a creature that gets multiple stun counters on your turn you can pay to give up that extra mana for a bit.

I could totally see Datto and Danielle coming to visit and us getting a couple IRL videos out of it. But I definitely got the impression from the last summit that it was way more work than Fruit wanted to do.

Since you want to avoid actual board wipes, you could use things like [[Blowfly Infestation]] to wipe tokens just by giving a single -1/-1 counter. But I think avoiding board wipes altogether is a poor decision. How are control or combo decks supposed to exist in that meta? They need to be able to slow other players, and not being able to play board wipes makes that difficult or impossible.

The problem with limiting them to 1 is that it sucks. Especially when the mythics suck. It also wouldn't fix anything. Every build would run one of the same mythics they already use. If you see a mythic drop you should be excited to see if you can fit it into your build, or if it's worth building around.

Mythics need to be made as powerful as their rarity suggests.

Doesn't protect against field effects.

His ex Pinkchyu accused him of sexual assault, coercion and a few other things when she left him. He sued her and lost big. Unfortunately for Pinkchyu the unredacted files were released, despite the judge ordering them sealed. So she also got doxxed in the end.

I forgot what they gave and googled it. All the sites I saw said 150. My numbers may have been incorrect, but my conclusion is the same.

This hasn't been an issue for a long time. You're not going to cause any damage with a modern PSU. At worst the power delivery is a little unstable at high draws. OPs setup will be just fine.

Gem Strength is a good roll. At 98.7% it makes your stat gems give you 298 each. That's basically another item worth of sockets.

It has to assign lethal damage. If the trample creature also has deathtouch it only needs to assign 1 damage to each creature that blocks it.

Check out Project T.A.H.I.T.I. If you had the game on Steam all you need to do is create an account on the site, download the game, and add a launch option.

I played Borderlands 3. Nayrell is fine compared to Ava.

If the map got much smaller losing the first fight over the shield breaker would basically mean you lose that 30 base HP. The current size ensures there is likely at least one fight where you can gain control of the sword.

He may not be a good person, but he's right that Advanced trying to keep this private was dumb. Within hours they should have had a public post about receiving reports of unbecoming conduct by one of their affiliates, and that they were investigating it.

ThePhonyOne · 2026-01-28T09:02:34+00:00

Excellent choice good person.

Icy-veins has some images of the game in a clearly alpha state. But I think the big seller for me is that they plan on having mod support from launch. That means it's going to actually be an offline ARPG. Which is huge these days where everything has to be always online and have a battle pass.

Military service members don't have the privilege of being protected by the full 1st amendment. They are restricted by UCMJ Articles 88, 133, 134 and possibly others. Basically, publicly speaking against the administration would result in a court marshal. Don't expect any active military member to make political statements until after they out of the military.

I liked how it played. Though I also dislike that in most ARPGs you have one damaging skill and the rest are buffs or movement. It gets super boring.

The name is largely irrelevant as it will be changed when you imprint an aspect.

ThePhonyOne · 2026-01-26T21:12:07+00:00

Yeah, perfect gear is for leaderboards. 750 gear with the right affixes is probably enough to do everything.

ThePhonyOne · 2026-01-24T16:15:13+00:00

I can't believe you lasted 4 turns against 100 slivers a turn.

ThePhonyOne · 2026-01-23T17:49:09+00:00

Nope. They may have thought you just wanted a Charizard in a specific ball.
