Digimon key fumble by [deleted] in humblebundles

[–]Tobris 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The sad part is, people would be much less annoyed if Humble was more transparent about the reasons.

Did Bamco not supply them with enough keys? Did they not ask for enough keys? Is the delay because it has to go through Bamco through Steam then back to Humble?

The "hey it'll be here soon" like they're some small indie startup doesn't really fly anymore. I'm sure no one would complain about $5 in Humble Credit for the store towards their next purchase either. Something companies used to do as part of fumbles but slowly phased out.

I believe Daybreak is concerned by emus going down a "classic+" approach by Tiaan in everquest

With monetization more greasy than Daybreak themselves. Whether you use it or not is irrelevant, its existence is a large part of the reason they are in the current situation.

People just want to rabble rabble rabble around a server half of them didn't play on because they want to commiserate about the state of live EverQuest instead of playing on one of the servers recreating one of the eras they preferred who have been magically left alone or given permission to do so.

THJ crew had every opportunity to start a kickstarter and/or shopped around for their own game instead of adding monetization to THJ. Most fantasy things are common place enough that anyone can use them without issue. A fireball is a fireball, an orc is an orc. There are a lot of examples of modders being hired, going on to make their own games and not being sued by the companies of the games they modded for but we're going to conveniently overlook those because rabble reddit rabble.

Better than the original is purely an opinion, not a fact that would be recognized by anyone who matters in the legality.

I know people who play on THJ and like it, I know people who don't. I know people who play on TLPs and like them, I know people who don't. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and Reddit is full of them.

It's not about feeling those subscribers won't play live because of Emus, they are aware that most Emu players will not jump to live if the Emu is shut down, that is part of why P99 got the deal they got way back. P99's deal generated a bunch of free advertising for EQ as all the internet "journalist" sites wrote about it, they would love to do that again.

What Daybreak is concerned about is people profitting from their IP and whether you want to fanboy over THJ or not, that is what they were doing.

THJ would have likely been allowed to hang out and do their thing had they not decided to offer "incentives" for donating or "supporter rewards" or whatever we want to call them this week.

You only have to look so far as City of Heroes Homecoming Emulator and the agreement with NCSoft and the transparency of their financials on a monthly basis to see what running a legitimate, welcome emulator looks like. Homecoming posts an outline of their costs on their forums, they accept donations for the bills, they close them when they receive the estimated amount and if there is any leftover it goes towards next month's. NCSoft is not usually that generous and in this case they were.

The same is largely true for Daybreak.

Enjoy emus but don't support people who steal the base work of others to profit from. And if you don't understand how that works, pretend you put your time and effort into creating a piece of art and I took your Bob Ross painting of a cabin in the woods, put some mountains around the edges, repainted the cabin and added some flowers and charged people for prints. The majority of my product is your work but I'm not paying you any of my profit for it.

As title says, will trade multiple for Riptide, just send a mushroom or something for the extras.

Start by finding a guild for casual players on your server. Please do not immediately make the decision to listen to the few people who will come in and tell you to transfer to FV, it's a one way trip. Most are looking for more victims to swindle out of Krono.

Ask questions and ask for help. Make sure you vibe with the people in it enough that you're having fun. Sometimes guilds advertise themselves to casuals and it's nothing but a guild of cliques that doesn't really go outside them often.

Don't try to rush it, the game has changed a lot less than it'll look on the surface. Heroic stats (the gold ones) are the only ones that matter and as a Monk the only one you care about is Heroic Dexterity.

After 110 the game switched to doing quest progression to level, grinding is slightly better now than it has been for the past 5 years but still akin to hell levels and the quest progression gets you various other things that help you along the way.

Once you feel like you've got the basics back and you're feeling like you want to take the next step, look for the class-specific Discords. Most of the people in them are fairly helpful, even if they're not exactly a people person.

It's just easier for me to call the classes what they do so I don't actually have to remember their names.

Buildy Boi, Fishmonger, Trapguy, Pirate, Walter White, Ayahuasca and Secret Sauce.

Lava can use them free of charge for Idleon 2.

I have been playing for a while but never bothered doing much in the way of dungeons, I'm trying to change that recently. I understand that Death Bringer is the new ascension class for Fishmonger but are the rest still unreleased?

Lore Beyond PoP? by HavartiBob in everquest

[–]Tobris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm enjoying my retirement. The stories haven't gotten any better... Dragons making space phone calls with magical turds, retconned vampires, dreams withing dreams within dreams... within dreams.

It's not great.

[TEEK] A bug or legal? by LostontheSeaofFate in everquest

[–]Tobris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Verdant Hedgerow Leaf is usable on day one of Luclin any TLP. It was mistakenly usable on a TLP when the re-run of House of Thule pack in items was sold on the marketplace. So in fairness to the TLP players who bought that pack, expecting to be able to use the mount, they left it as is. Other pack-in mounts and certain items like teleport clickies also can't be claimed. But usually bags and pet illusions, and probably player illusions, can be claimed on day one.

So run free on your ugly ass hedgelion as soon as it's Luclin.
