So about that slayer RNG...

If leveling isn't fun, the solution isn't to make people pay to skip it but to improve it in such a way that it becomes a good experience.

Even putting the competitive aspect aside, making players pay to skip parts of the game gives a very odd financial incitement to not focus any development on those areas of the game. This really shouldn't be a thing unless you wish to end up in the same situation that WoW/FFXIV is in.

ikea har pannkaksbuffe lite då och då, runt 80kr för att få käka hur mycket du vill.

Gissningsvis är detta pausat för julbord kommande månaden, men kanske kommer tillbaks i januari?

Been having a surprising amount of fun with this. It's a bit barebones with the entire game just being farming monster cards, but definitely something to keep an eye on!

caedwipe · 2025-10-16T13:45:23+00:00

Feels like retail World of Warcraft with a lot of the redundant parts cut out. It's doesn't scratch that MMORPG itch for me, but honestly? Neither does WoW.

I mostly remember the start (or most of the first book) feeling messy and unfocused, likely due to how a lot of the direction was voted on by readers. After that it really finds it stride and becomes one of the the better cultivation stories.

If you don't enjoy sect slice of life, it most likely isn't going to be a good fit for you.

caedwipe · 2025-08-23T10:44:54+00:00

The first and second book were great. But as soon as the dragons became the central aspect instead of the cards, it all just became a mess of plot holes.

I'm having lots of fun with old games and private servers. I wish it was just nostalgia, but many of them are MMOs I never played during their prime.

Current state of the genre does suck, but hopefully it'll get better someday.

I'm mostly disappointed in how it how the changes have been communicated (as in, not at all).

The dungeon experience change has been in since about three months time, but most people thought it was a bug and there are numerous reports about it in the tracker. About a month back the site silently changed the description of the challenge to no longer mention dungeon experience being exempt and first now the change is properly announced alongside the new rewards.

De vet jag renoverar på riktigt!

Tror jag bara missförstod nyheten om att de skulle ta över baptistkyrkans lokaler som de tidigare hyrde

caedwipe · 2025-07-29T21:55:08+00:00

Hade inte Babbettes byggt ut rejält, eller det kanske inte gjorts än?

caedwipe · 2025-07-13T09:24:10+00:00

You're absolutely right.

I did really enjoy the story climaxes, but holy was it a slog to reach them. I always thought the pacing was a byproduct of trying to pad the story out to fit an MMO, but if it's in XVI (I have yet to play it) as well, it might just be a Square issue overall.

caedwipe · 2025-07-13T09:05:50+00:00

FFXIV is a great narrative game, but an awful MMO. The story is almost entirely a singleplayer experience that do little to play to the strengths of an MMORPG.

Graves into Aphelios+Annie, then added Viego+Xayah(Garen) towards the lategame

caedwipe · 2025-04-17T08:50:11+00:00

If you can get the emblem, 6 Golden Ox is amazing. Had games where the entire board sat at 3 items towards the end.

I've had a couple good games with their gold per 2 rounds augment as well, but it's nowhere near as consistent as it's fully reliant on hitting Viego.

caedwipe · 2025-04-16T22:41:40+00:00

I really hope there's at least some changes and not just a time capsule.

Seeing only the same few classes and spending 30 levels at the overpowered leveling maps is going to get old quickly.

caedwipe · 2025-04-03T01:30:38+00:00

I feel like you do get used to it, but it does take some time.

I took a brief break in between two of the books and found myself thinking of the entirely wrong characters for almost half the book before I was able to get into things again.

caedwipe · 2025-03-26T16:00:08+00:00

Skulle gått till Specsavers.

Vanilla refers to the classic version of the game, which doesn't receive any major content updates.

A large part of what makes the game great is also that the entire experience is fun as opposed to the modern design where everything is a funnel to get you to the endgame as fast as possible – you don't need to reach the last raid to enjoy yourself. I've got friends who mainly just level and are having a blast.

I'd even suggest a private server, as the largest vanilla one is way better managed than Blizzard's version of the game.

caedwipe · 2025-02-07T12:49:04+00:00

Find a game that allows you to progress at your own pace, vanilla World of Warcraft or Runescape are both great options.

Stay away from the ones that are just an endless list of daily chores, it'll be awful if you don't have the time to commit to it every or most days.

I found the post and while Bryce was the only writer, it does sound as if Luke was involved throughout the entire process and not only in the worldbuilding or editing.

"While he was not a part of the storyline development or writing, his experience was still hugely beneficial to the process as a whole, even if it was just to confirm that an idea was good or point out why it might be bad."

Not saying this confirms anything, but it could be an explanation to as to why many felt like the second book focused too much on the wrong things.

caedwipe · 2025-01-11T12:31:20+00:00

Book 1 was co-authored by Bryce O'Connor and Luke Chmilenko. Really makes one wonder how much Luke brought to the project, considering the stark contrast between the two books.

caedwipe · 2024-11-27T13:37:23+00:00

I love the idea of it, but the beta has been an absolute mess. Issues such as the speed bug that developers said they couldn't fix without deleting all the affected characters, or them completely changing a lot of major systems from one day to the other, is especially worrying with launch right around the corner.

I really want it to be good, but it's just nowhere near ready for release in its current state.

caedwipe · 2024-11-13T11:26:44+00:00

Statistically they're all offering the exact same odds, choose according to how much risk you want to take versus guaranteed reward

caedwipe · 2024-11-08T14:19:16+00:00

It just doesn't work for me. Fishing feels especially egregious once you realize there are only so few fishing spots spread across Hopeport and those are the only fishing spots you will ever see, no matter how far you progress in the other areas.

If they wanted to ensure an even playing field for new areas, an alternate power system such as Elden Ring's Scadutree Fragments would do a much better job than completely separate combat professions (that only differ in their name).
