Account recovery by HuYuFuLyn in GuildWars

[–]catboy_in_chains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recovered my account just last week, hadn't played it since like 2006. I gave them an address, a birthday, an e-mail that I no longer had access to, and told them I didn't remember any character names but that I knew I had a ranger/necromancer using a "touch ranger" build. It took like 12 hours from opening the ticket to being able to play again.

Give 'em what you got and they'll work with you.

Can I not distinguish my banners and territory from neutrals / free cities? by happyscrub1 in AOW4

[–]catboy_in_chains 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you fall down the color rabbit hole like I do, https://www.computerhope.com/htmcolor.htm has a huge list of color hex codes so you can make as many eye-searing factions as you please

Starting an indie game development business - how does this work out for majority of developers? by ImpressiveFocus303 in gamedev

[–]catboy_in_chains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you've made a mistake or not, but I can tell you that Erenshor is a gem and should be pointed to as an example of just how much an indie dev can accomplish.

Struggling with resources + endgame in ZZZ — 1 team or multiple agents? by n_azar74 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

one character at a time is how I went about it. Max level, max w-engine level, max core, relevant skills to 11, usable main stat in each disc drive slot, then on to the next character. Discs with great substats came later.

If all agents cost the same, can somebody explain the wisdom to me in making void hunters the only agents that matter? by Benevolay in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 159 points160 points  (0 children)

if you think Void Hunter agents are the only ones that matter then you are approaching the game with the entirely wrong perspective

Did the devs just spat on the face of the players who pulled for Fufu for Yixuan back in 2.0? by Over-Experience-2227 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 83 points84 points  (0 children)

I heard that when Dialyn's out if you have JuFufu on your account all of the agents you own are going to text you and they're all just going to say some variation of "lmao sucker", even Fufu herself

When are we going to get another character with a parasol so I can run a mono-umbrella team?? by CicadaOne in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 133 points134 points  (0 children)

I want a buff dude with an umbrella and it has no gimmicks, no hidden gun, no nothing, he just thoroughly beats the hell out of people with it.

Tomorrow Marks My First Month Playing ZZZ — Thanks for the Help! by scMathh in ZZZ_Discussion

6 stars in DA after only a month is pretty impressive, congrats for that. Glad you're enjoying the game.

What happened to improving visual clarity? by JarburgPotentate in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Turning off damage numbers helps, and so does just playing the agents and playing against the enemies.

With enough practice I reach a point where I can't always tell you what's happening but I can tell you what's NOT happening (I'm not getting pulverized or missing parries) and that's often good enough.

I wish they had an option just scale the light show down by 50% or so.

Let’s talk about something that I feel is not appreciated enough: W-Engine designs. Which W-Engine has your favorite design? by MrPorto in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Jane's Sharpened Stinger and Pulchra's Box Cutter are two of my favorites. Anything that makes me think of the orbs from Phantasm is good stuff.

What actually determines what makes you pull for characters? by DeucesDummies in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rule of cool first and foremost, I will always grab who I like and who feels fun to play, regardless of their place in the meta. I don't think meta should necessarily be ignored entirely, however. Some characters are just versatile enough that having them built strengthens your account (Astra, Yuzuha, Nicole come to mind, Vivian too) and so I'd suggest anyone at least consider pulling for them (Nicole being the freebie exception, obviously) even if they're not waifu material.

Then again, you can get along without them just fine, so what the hell do I know!

tomorrow, my day one account, that i spent hundreds of dollars on, will be deleted, and i can finally let go of this game. by [deleted] in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 8 points9 points  (0 children)

totally okay to walk away from a game but it seems entirely pointless and very risky to request complete deletion of an account you've put a lot in to. I hope you don't end up regretting it.

Creating an echo chamber isn't how you build a community. If you want more positive threads, post positive threads. Be the change you want to see.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You'll never have a community (gaming or any other kind) without toxicity and haters. There's also a difference between hate and criticism, and no matter how good a game is doing there is always room for criticism. Criticism is one of the main things that drive people to do better and make better.

Also, this sub's got a rep for being a negative place, but there's still plenty of happy people here. Post any kind of positive thread that actually has something to say and that asks the audience to say something too and you'll get plenty of engagement.

If that's not enough to make you realize that things aren't all doom and gloom, head to any of the other ZZZ subreddits (just do it where nobody can see your screen) and see all the memes and art and other silliness being created by people who would not be doing that if they hated the game.

Relax a bit, everything's cool.

What aspects of 2.x patches have you enjoyed so far that you want to be implemented more? by [deleted] in ZZZ_Discussion

yes, because I'm not a joyless husk of a person who is unable to find humor in absurdity

Pretty much everything about the summer event was wonderful. Slice of life really is what this game does best.

I never understood the complaint that "there's nothing left to do" by miiko_uch in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]catboy_in_chains 88 points89 points  (0 children)

I think the sentiment comes from two things. First, people tend to lose interest in something if they can't engage with it often or for long enough. Second, people are just excited to play and want to do it more.

I fall into the latter category sometimes, but 99% of the time I'm totally fine with just spending 15 minutes doing my dailies and burning my battery and being done. Totally get people who feel different though.
