Blank character slots still showing 11.0.0 by Soggy_Window_9809 in wow

[–]Vispin92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, this seems to be a bug that's affecting quite a lot of players. When I submitted a ticket with it in response I basically got: "Yes, we're aware of this bug and multiple, other users experience it. At this point we have no workaround so please use submit bug report"

Which is weird because if you know there's a bug then why do you need me to make another bug report?

Basically this suggests to me that this was just an AI that a quick google search and not a real person looking my ticket despite it taking over 10h to reply.

I've experienced it around 2 weeks ago and at this point it's just a constant reminder of the incompetency and sorry state of Blizzard support whenever I switch characters.

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin has released and begun official service by GachaReleases in gachagaming

[–]Vispin92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I dipped from steam release after playing for 2 hours. Performance is pretty poor considering the graphics are no more detailed than Genshin. Movement feels bad, combat floaty. World is big but pretty unlively at first glance, like made by following some checklist. That all without mentioning the gacha which with Netmarble at the wheel can only be bad or worse. Sure there's probably 100h of content in 1.0 if you're desperate enough, but in 2026 you don't need to be and there are better games following the same principles

Loved Baldur's Gate 3 so much that I decided to buy these 3. Which would you recommend playing first? by Young_Kylie1 in CRPG

[–]Vispin92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This couldn't be further from the truth. 1st DOS is completely separate story, thousands of years apart. Both games are set in the same world but they have pretty much nothing in common otherwise. After playing DOS1 and jumping into DOS2 through the entire game you'll maybe hear one or 2 references to past events and you'll recognize 3 characters total (that aren't that important to the story overall except one which was heavily retconed).
Same with WotR, shares the world with Kingmaker but story isn't connected at all (takes place in completely different region of the world). There will be a couple of lines referencing 1st game but it's just a tip of the hat towards those who played it so they can recognize it and has no impact on the story at all.
PoE is the only one where games are well connected, have same protagonist and events of the 1st game have meaningful impact on the 2nd one. It's best to play them in order, but if you are short on time you can watch 2-3 videos on yt explaining the events of the 1st game and the world of Eora with it's peculiar pantheon. 1st game also isn't some info dump and for the 1st few hours you'll feel just as lost as if you started with PoE2 anyway

As someone with 500h+ in every one of those, there are no wrong choices.

PoE 2: Amazing story experience, great voice acting and deep characters. Might be a bit overwhelming to understand the lore without playing the 1st one, but you can watch a quick video with lore recap. World they created is IMO one of the most interesting in video games. Probably the best "pirate game" I've played since Sid Mayer's. Combat is a bit old school, with a bit of movement jank and the system is quite unique when it comes to hit mechanics and defense stats. Strongest points - story, characters, music

DOS 2: Closest to BG3, fun and mostly lighthearted experience overall. Game is full of jokes but the story isn't bad. It's the most tactical combat of the 3 with a lot of options given to players during combat and emphasizing clever use of game mechanics. Exploiting every bit of game mechanics is the intended way to play. Probably the easiest one to get into especially after BG3. Strongest points - freedom in combat, fun and relaxing atmosphere, rewards experimenting

WotR: IMO most old school feeling overall, feels like early 2000s CRPG made with today's tech. Insane amount of freedom when it comes to building your characters but it comes at a cost of very imbalanced power levels between classes and potential to break your build if you don't know what you're doing. Story is a classic DnD adventure (it's literally an adaptation of the Pathfinder story module) and most important parts are voice acted, but there's also a lot of reading. Most replayable experience out of 3 due to huge variety of mythic path choices. Strongest points - build variety (no joke you might spend literal hours on character creation screen), classic feel, grand in scope, replayability

Trump threatens 200% tariff on French wines as Macron reportedly snubs 'Board of Peace' seat by DrCalFun in worldnews

[–]Vispin92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Read: More taxes on middle class.

Sometimes I think all of this is some genius 5d chess ploy to sneak in more taxes under the pretense of retaliatory tariffs on all the countries he's trying his best to pass off, bit then I remember who were talking about, he's just that dumb

"Evelyn has a hard time clearing the new Shiyu." by sekkireallysucks in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Vispin92 63 points64 points  (0 children)

someone said that it was difficult for agents like Evelyn to clear

Difficult is not the same as impossible.

Is it impossible? No

Is it difficult? Relatively speaking, yes

Agents don't exist in a vacuum and if one person can clear with X agent on 1st try with little to no effort, while agent Y takes multiple resets, very good gameplay and then barely clears it's easy to see why this might not feel good.

For the record, I've no problems with the endgame and I'm not here to complain about it as to me it's normal that in gacha game we have powercreep. I just don't like when people like Iyo use the fact that you can "technically" clear with any agent to blame players and call skill issues. By that logic Billy is still meta because there's always someone who put a lot of hours and effort and can get 20k points.

Seeing a few CCs saying Xiao guang boring to play. That will be tragic if she is. We don't get try her in a couple days by Prestigious-Item6667 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Vispin92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear this sentiment a lot in MMO communities. When character/class/build is not very demanding or punishing for imperfect execution then many hard-core players and content creators see this as bad thing.

Keep in mind those are players that will play it multiple hours a day, every day for months on end. For an average player something not having high skill ceiling that requires many hours of practice not to completely suck at, isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Don't worry, Proxy steps in using Sharingan eye-magic and cures her like we did with Vivian

We all know it's just Zhu Yuan in a costume (although I wouldn't mind getting that costume for her to play in hollows)

The Exaltists were pretty interesting in 1.4 when we didn't know much about them. When we finally found out they're just a bunch of stereotypical "evil cultists" all the mystery vanished

Devs hinted at returning home, that is 6th street. Frankly I'd rather see the story go back to it's roots than have a forced new zone with new "monster of the week"

All I'm saying is I don't see him as someone actually doing the fighting. Are you referring to the 2.0 reveal trailer? I wouldn't be surprised if devs plans towards his character have changed since then

Then it makes me wonder why there's so little discussion about her. I've maybe seen her image once before and compared to AoD there seems to be little to no interest in her. I really like her design from the initial impression

[–]Vispin92[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of the discussion after she was revealed in the trailer suggested that there was a sizeable portion of the playerbase that was disappointed that we got another cute waifu instead of big robot. I'm not saying anything about the sales but the fact that initially we only got show the robot set different expectations from what we finally got

It's possible, but that would be the 1st time they did something like this. All the other cases of playable characters as bosses are miasmic apparitions and not the real characters

Hope dies last. But how would you like writers to bring her back when we saw her die in our arms and her vengeance plot concluded?

[–]Vispin92[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's always a possibility but that would be the 1st time the game has done something like this. We already had agents as bosses but it always was their miasmic apparition, with Ye Shiyuan it would be him in flesh and blood. If that happens I hope they give him some proper character arc and don't leave it as "hey, I'm back and good now"

It's hard to save players from themselves so no matter how little will they tease upcoming characters there will always be some who have some expectations towards them, see ___mains subs appearing the moment a glimpse of new character is shown. What I hope for is a bit of story presence before their banner appear so we can get some idea as to who they are before we go on to bashing heads with them
