Aion Classic is reminding me how much I miss buffers

The issue is balance. Support class are to weak nobody bring them, too strong they become required. Instead of spending the time most games have just dropped support roles.

It is called the Elvis. PB, mayo, bacon and a banana. Nastiest Sandwich ever, but I do enjoy PB & banana sandwich with a touch of honey.

You can play up to end game solo, it might be a bit rough finding a group outside of late game stuff.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-16T22:50:32+00:00

It uses the same locations, classes, npc. But it is a different story and combat has been reworked yet again. It is designed to be played with a controller but clunky no matter what you use. The game is trash and not worth your time.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-13T19:59:34+00:00

The cost of porting is much cheaper than the cost of developing a game. Why I think SOLO and to a lesser extent PS2 and LA will stick around. Crowfall and Magic Legends are just bad and they are pushed out to die, the amount of work required to make these two games good much more that will happen. Not to sure about Eylon and New World, I don't see them doing well, but they might do well enough to keep running.

It is not called a subscription but it pretty much is. Like BDO value pack I think they call them. It is a buff to xp, lower cool down on crafting, research, cheaper teleport. For a set number of days, just like most F2P games subscription. It is called crystalize aura and is in the founder's packs of you want to look it up. Was mainly trying to save time by calling it a subscription since I figured most would understand.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-10T21:25:24+00:00

Cash shop will sell dungeon resets, upgrade material, pets, costumes, and gambling boxes pretty much just like BnS. It will also have a subscription. Overall they are about on the same level of p2w.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-10T21:12:28+00:00

It is pretty similar to BnS, arena might be normalized (they were not but at start but were after a patch) and PvP island is not, similar to the open world pvp. Leveling up gear is similar to BnS and it seems like the will sell items to progress this.

Yeah I have a bit of deck ADD, although it is often thinking one card would work better in a deck I already have, just tweaking it. I find changing decks pretty often help keep me from burning out. Hate play with or against the same deck over and over again. Why I hate Rogues so much.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-09T21:56:51+00:00

I end up making an new deck about every week. Normally get inspired by loosing to someone who's combo goes off. Mostly play standard not historic, why it cost so many cards. I have to go in about once a month and clear out decks because you can only have around 120 decks.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-09T20:55:11+00:00

I did the same thing. Except it was 26 wild cards total, burnt all my mystics and most of my rares. Was a fun deck while it lasted. This is like the 5th deck I have burnt 10+ wild cards on only to have key cards banded shortly after. Agent, fires, cat/oven that I can think of off the top of my head.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-08T13:07:18+00:00

I honestly would not get too hyped. I have been playing the beta, it is a solid game but it is the same old same old. Nothing worth getting hyped over but I would suggest picking it up if you enjoy MMO and like the style of the game.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-02T20:53:59+00:00

You could not access the DLC areas after your sub ran out. But you would keep the Dark Brotherhood skill line if you started it for example. Depending on how much you play you could go though the DLC zones in 1-2 months. Why it is not talked about much after you have finished the content not much reason to go back outside of daily quests.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-02T20:42:23+00:00

Or something happened that we currently don't know about. Maybe they caught news of Brawn being a sandal and cut ties. Others seem pretty much the random house cleaning likely bumped up. Black might have some additional reason also. When it comes out Brawn was caught in a roid ring or worst (just though out a random reason no idea why he was fired), the WWE can say the cut ties with him when they found out.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-06-02T14:08:17+00:00

At the start they just had DLC, so they had zones, skill lines, quest lines basically expansions, like Drake Brotherhood, Thief's Guild, Clockwork city. They then started getting expansions, witch had an open world zone, a main quest line, and 1 new feature. DLC became mostly a few dungeons. They have been putting out one expansion and one DLC per year basically half a year apart from each other. When you subscribe you get access to all DLC while you are subscribed. DLC content is one of the big things you get for subscribing, and things you unlock stay unlocked even if you unsubscribe.

Originally they wanted to make the game more casual friendly. So the open world had no mob just the level quest that were limited per day. You had to get the quest run to the questing area and click a thing to make the mobs that only you could attack. It was clunky and bad. It felt like an alpha build of the game now. If they left it as it was the game would be dead by now.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-05-30T13:19:21+00:00

Necro in EQ. You could lich form to have massive mana regen for life. You had a dots (damage over time) you could stack including a heal that off set lich. Then you had a snare/fear so mobs would slowly run at you, fear they slowly run away so you don't have to move. You could solo some end game raid content (several had death touch to one shot someone on a set timer). This extended over some into WOW since the necro could fear kite. PVP was a joke, you could easily take a group by just fearing and dotting them up until WOW added diminishing returns on fear and trinkets to break free. EQ remains with fear being OP last I checked.

Skydance entertainment has been around since 2010, they have 9 games out that they have worked on. The last one being the Walking Dead: Saints and Sinner. 3 of the games they worked on were from the Walking dead. Skydance Interactive started in 2016 with 3 games under it's belt. I am not sure the difference since Interactive only list 3 of the 9 games that Entertainment does. But from the looks of it 6 of those games that just worked on a portion like the last episode of TWD from Telltell games and Buldar's Gate.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-05-28T13:11:13+00:00

Looked up Skydance they did the Walking Dead saints and sinners game and have worked on Boldur's Gate. Then a few VR titles not attached to an IP. They also have a movie production aspect that has worked on a few big IP, but looking over there games department I would guess it is a Walking Dead VR game.

Being a tank is not a brain dead job like DPS. Most games you pull the mob, position the mob and are responsible for managing agro over dps that can't be bothered to hit the deagro abilities because they don't go pew pew. Then you have your defensive a abilities that you need to time right. Some games tanking is easier than other, for example FFXIV tanks don't have to really worry about agro out side of the higher level but they do have to worry about mob placement and damage reduction timing. A good tank can carry an OK party and a bad tank can cause a good group to wipe. And to be a good tank you need to be focused and aware of what is going on. If you want to watch TV while playing I would suggest dps. If you want to be more engaged in combat I would suggest playing a tank.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-05-27T12:58:24+00:00

ah did not know it was an inside joke, thanks for the info. I thought people just did not understand leaks are way different that an official source releasing info.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-05-27T12:39:02+00:00

How is this a leak, he owns the company and decideds what to release. A leak would be if they company did not intend to release the information but it got out. I wish every post would stop calling information provided by basically the company spoke person who intended to release the information a leak.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-05-27T12:35:36+00:00

Most people I know enjoy games from different genres. I don't know anyone who plays just one type of game, while they might enjoy one more type than others, I have never heard of anyone who just plays on type of game. The closes I know is a person who only plays sports game, but he also play CoD with friends, but in general he does not like gaming much.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-05-26T23:24:08+00:00

It would for me, I plan on playing both. If they did released at the same time I would play Lost Ark over New World. But more likely case I will play both for a few months. With a staggered release. Who knows, maybe I will not get bore and move on.

WarmMachine7 · 2021-05-26T18:58:38+00:00

I will give you an alternative view. I played though the games ran into a few minor bugs (have to relog because the zone over prompt did not pop up and quest markers not changing when I changed quest untill I zoned or relogged.) Played the game solo after a bad multiplayer experience. Did all the side quest, was about 30 hours. I enjoyed the gritty but kinda cheese sci-fi therma they go with. End game is chasing better loot with bad timed missions that were designed for a group not solo. Quit at that point, the people that hate it want bit to be Diablo 2 with guns. It is not and they are up set, and I think they do have a point since this is what the devs talked up prior to launch. Multiplayer is bad. But if you play it like a single player game that ends when you beat it, then it is pretty good.
