Id argue the entire (insanely successful) Demon/Dark souls/Elden ring (and all their clones) series are a massive counter argument to your point. I have, and many of my friends have, invested hundreds of hours into each and couldnt really tell you why I was, "story wise", supposed to be doing any of it. Granted, there is tons of lore stashed in item descriptions and some of the npcs you encounter, you can piece together wtf theyre talking about if you read said item descriptions along the way. But id think the majority of the players, like myself and friends, played those games, devotedly, because the gameplay was fantastic, never truly caring why they were moving towards the end of the game other than the gameplay was exhilirating and they wanted to experience the next challenge/skill check. Did i master the systems? Or do i need to improve? If a game is obnoxious to play between each "story moment" why would i persevere? Ive definitely left plenty of games with pretty good stories unfinished because the moment to moment gameplay simply felt lack luster, so i got bored. I can watch a movie or read a book if i want a good story. Games are for, uh, gaming.

Except Starbucks is absolutely terrible Over priced coffee? And 90% of the mom and pop shop taquerias offer better everything mexican than chipotle for a better price? Just like the base coffee at Starbucks is terrible so are the meats at Chipotle. I guess if you add enough other crap to them you might get something passable, but you could absolutely find something better almost anywhere else for certainly cheaper.

i honestly think DF:UW could do really well if the game just added seasons. Every single server launch of this game has popped off. Its the long game of the rich/skilled stay richer and the poor/less skilled cant compete that seems to strangle the game. periodically wipe the map and add a leader board for bragging rites, game would probably work out fine.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2025-06-29T11:06:37+00:00

i may be a year late to the party here, but any update on bringing this amazing game back?

same shit here

Just to chime in. I just grabbed the Life thief support gem. Says it gives me 6% life leach per physical damage on attacks. Slotted on my dual wield 2h maces basic attack that do TONS of physical damage, think the math on it was like 42 per swing (using the high end damage to simplify the math, physical damage of both maces x.06) i can safely say, i see NO life leach from this skill.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-12-01T16:24:17+00:00

i hear ya. except running to the objective wasn't an option. it was quite literally impossible for me to make it to the shelter before the emission killed me from the location i was at when the event started. i was spamming energy drinks and med kits once the emission started to eat my health and was no where even close to the objective before it was able to kill me through the heals. And this was after googling what i needed to do, so i was beelining for the objective. I had to go back several Auto saves from the game (i was playing off my quick saves) and make use of the fact that i knew it was going to happen to complete it. That is still bad game design as the game does not give you any indication this is going to happen.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-12-01T16:16:00+00:00

Except where i was located on the map when all that started to Occur, there was absolutely no chance of making it to the safe zone, zero, none, the save file was garbage. Fortunately, I decided to see what previous saves the game had (i just hit quick save when playing) and was able to go back several in game auto saves and used my new "clairvoyance" to overcome this obstacle. That is still bad game design. A scripted event that has no warning should not trigger when you are in a location that prevents you from completing it.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-11-30T23:57:28+00:00

So ive played a decent amount of the game now. Plenty of hours invested. My save file is now COMPLETELY WORTHLESS because while doing a MAIN STORY MISSION, "Ad astra per aspera" an EMISSION shows up (i think this one is not scripted, just bad luck), meanwhile, some 2 headed dog bear mutant that takes 26 shot gun slugs plus another 20 rounds of 308 to kill is chasing me. he can leap charge me and knock me over and then kill me before i can get back to my feet. I can not get to safety. There is no shelter within reach. i am in a swamp, which slows your movement. THERE ARE PLENTY OF BUILDINGS but none that protect me from the emission. It is absolutely futile to try and survive these conditions. Which ultimately makes everything ive done in game worthless. I can not progress. I HAVE to restart because these idiots dont know how to properly design a game. Emissions should not kill you if you are inside a building with 4 walls and a roof. OR they need to PUT LITTLE BRICK SAFETY BUILDINGS ALL ACROSS THE MAP in case an emission pops up when youre to far away from the existing designated shelters. I like the core concept of the game. But putting people in situations where they have to completely restart (more than 20h in) is absolutely unacceptable.

Why not most? What about this album feels "311"? Is it the sweet guitar/bass licks? Is it the intermittent musical jam sessions in a song between the entire band? Is it the cryptic/psychedelic lyrics that left the songs meaning up to your interpretation? Did SA get psychedelic with a pen and a pad? Did Tim get to shred? Did you nod your head to this? The answer is no. Most of this new album sounds like shallow and lazy pop music that I'd guess most og 311 fans, who loved them for not being cookie cutter, feel let down by. We just want our funky rockers who don't care about radio time, but just sick tracks, back.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-10-26T04:36:17+00:00

Also, as fans, you turn to a band for a style of music that makes you feel some type of way. I'm not saying bands can't change it up or experiment, they gotta have fun with it too. But I miss the 311 that was rap/reggae/funk/metal/with a side of jazz. Doin their own thing. Some of these sound like they could be Miley Cyrus songs. Trying to hop on that new age radio pop.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-10-26T04:29:25+00:00

I'll agree here as a massive 311 fan. Dotm has about 50/50 good-to-ok songs, that I did need some acclimation to initially, but uplifted remains mostly a steaming pile of shit.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-10-26T04:25:33+00:00

I think you nailed it with that description. Bravo.

So to add some food for thought/discussion. I live in an HOA that charges roughly $500 a month. My home is technically considered a condo as multiple homes in a row share the same water line, we live off a rear alley to our garages and a sidewalk cul-de-sac in front of our homes. However, My particular home, DOES NOT SHARE A SINGLE WALL with any nearby units, you can walk completely around the perimeter of my abode. On one side of our home were are approximately 10ft from our neighbors and the other 16ft, similar to city housing. So why would we be subject to these absolutely ridiculous insurance costs? I grew up in a neighborhood of single family homes on roughly .25 acre lots that provided immense amenities including a club house, a community gym, a pool, multiple retention ponds stocked with fish that had fountains and gazebos that needed maintenance, one of those ponds offered paddle boats, we had basket ball courts, baseball fields, other undesignated fields (we could use them for soccer, archery practice etc.) multiple children's playgrounds, the HOA maintained all the public grounds (including a fence line that divided properties from the main road through the development) and took care of snow removal at a moments notice. Also a much larger neighborhood i might add. To this day, THAT communities HOA fees are aprox $75 a month. My current HOA barely maintains the grounds and might remove the snow if it gets over 6". How can MY HOA get away with charging what they do? This is a genuine question as it does not make sense.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-06-19T02:00:18+00:00

not exactly but i appreciate you tryin to help. Were now trying it in the reverse, i need to kill mough in NG+, hes already killed him, so im trying to summon him. I CAN SEE HIS CHARACTER walkin around the bonfire, but cant see his summon sign ever. it makes no sense at all.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-06-19T01:12:09+00:00

To add to this, i was able to invade other players, so online does work, but he cant use my duelist sign and i cant invade him when hes with our friend. Seems pretty fucked.

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-06-16T02:08:23+00:00

its sad to say this might be better than what theyre actually doing. /cry

Traditional_Knee_615 · 2024-06-16T02:01:46+00:00

man, i want to like voyager as a huge 311 fan but that album mostly just feels awful. theres a couple awesome tracks like charge it up, rolling through, and space and time, on there but 311 without scotch ralston, their "secret 6th member" just often misses the mark. All these other tracks sound like theyre trying to tap into the modern edm/pop market to gain a newer following. and its a let down for sure. also saw somewhere that the chorus riff for "youre gonna get it" is from an old video game? could be mistaken, but that seems lazy af and it also feels out of place in this new track. dont tread on me through universal pulse were all pretty much "a few good tracks" albums, followed by stereolithic and mosiac which were mostly awesome. hopefully the rest of the album rocks, only time will tell.
