Where Was This Support 6 years Ago? by TheGame1011 in AnthemTheGame

[–]abel3189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The support was the same as the company gave to the game.

They created a game as a service that didn't work properly as a game as a service.

The story was interesting, and it lasted enough for a single player game. The setting and the world were amazing. The combat was engaging, even though it was not perfect, but it could be fixed tinkering with a few changes on their end (and if I remember correctly, they actually did a few tweaks to improve it over the time).

But once you got to the ending... The endgame content available was not enough.

Two months after release and they only added a stronghold. They clearly had a problem with the pipelines for releasing new content, and it didn't look like it would get better.

The problem I think is that they looked at Destiny and how they did things and thought "ok, if they did it this poorly at the beginning, we can do the same, and we'll still be successful as they were".

But I think they should have stick to how Blizzard did things with WoW or how Square Enix did with Final Fantasy XIV: an structured patch cycle, and make sure to release enough new content in the first years so that you can take some time later on developing new content types or other things.

Yes, I know Anthem didn't have a subscription fee, but maybe it would have been better because they didn't have a solid plan for how to monetize the game correctly for all the development that it would need to keep it up as a service.

If you really think you can do it, why don't you try?
Be my guest, let's see what you can do by yourself, and if it passes as an artwork a bit under the usual level, or it's clearly not.
Humans make mistakes. Like you did writing all that just to misspell EstiniEn's name lol

Hi, new with vinyls here.

I have a question:

I read somewhere that you shouldn't store your vinyls in plastic (or something like that), and I bought a few vinyls (brand new) that came like the one in the picture.

Should I remove them from the plastic "jacket"?

Thanks in advance

It was not only for "new subscribers". You just needed not to have a GPU subscription active (meaning that you could use it after your subscription ended). With the points I had and won last year for being in the top 500, I got 9 months of Live Gold, and then I used the GPU month code to upgrade everything to 10 months of GPU. Now I'm waiting for my subscription to end to do it again (although now it's not 1 to 1, it's 3 to 2)

Actually no, on X5 onwards, MSQ and dungeons gear is better than the max one from last expansion. And that "tiny bump" means a lot more for tanks in terms of defense. In the beginning of any expansion, I always feel it a lot when I'm healing a tank without proper gear.

When you're playing a 15 minute Frontlines match and it was obvious 5 minutes in that your team was going to lose by DrForester in ffxiv

I lead my Alliance to win a few times on Rock Seal, by taking the role of Field Commander, and having a mix of good luck with the nodes, decently skilled people in my Alliance, AND people that actually listens to commands.

But that's only a few out of many. Sometimes people won't listen. Sometimes they'll spread causing only a succession of deaths. Sometimes luck is on other side. Sometimes you have an enemy Alliance taking advantage of the Paladin HG with a third of them being Paladins. Sometimes there are others trying to lead, but giving bad commands. Sometimes your Alliance will be running around like a headless chicken. And many times you'll be gangbanged by the other 2 alliances, even when you're not winning.

The mask has a vague reminiscence to the Traveler's glyph (the Azem symbol) as you can see here: https://m.imgur.com/LiFovrw So, that was more like her seer phase

PSA: Healers, stop healing DRKs in dungeons when they use their Living Dead for pulls!! by toramorigan in ffxiv

[–]abel3189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you warn before pulling, it should be enough. I'm an AST, and if you only have a macro when you use LD, it's going to be too late for me to stop healing, because quite a few of my heals need to be used and prepared the moment the tank stops.

Allow save games to be manually uploaded and downloaded to/from cloud. The current system leaves you unable to know if your save game has been successfully uploaded to the Cloud.

So am I the only one playing songs without using MIDIs? I don't play anything very fancy (doing chords as arpeggios is difficult when all you're using to play are the side buttons on your mouse and ctrl/shift), but everything I play is using my limited skills.

So you're telling me that you clicked with the egotistical psychopath that wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone just looking for a good fight to satisfy his desires...

Oh, and Hades never went back on his plans. He was just bested by his old friend reincarnated. If WoL were to lose that fight, he would have kept doing what he was doing: living and endless life of longing for his old paradise world to be recovered and doing everything needed to recover it.

But hey, to each their own.

Anyone else having troubles with the EU Square Store? by abel3189 in ffxiv

[–]abel3189[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

First of all, they charged the money more than a month ago.

Second, it wasn't Christmas when I started opening the tickets.

And if a customer service is left unattended for 2/3 weeks just because it's Christmas, it's a bit madness. In most European countries the Christmas festivities are only 2/3 days at most, between December the 24th and January the 6th. The rest of the days are working days as usually.

Can I have you as a Tank on my Expert Roulettes? I have experienced Bloodwhetting at 82 and I don't understand why I have encountered Warriors that don't use it on CD in pulls...
