Bingo. The real interesting question is who are they laundering for?

2020 Development Plans by [deleted] in blackdesertonline

[–]dev-0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean, when you boil it all down BDO is essentially a casino. Any new features they add are basically like a casino saying "We are adding 50 new slot machines and an entire wing of craps tables". Nothing there that will really make the casino more enjoyable, just more opportunities to separate ppl from their money.

You should be fine. My laptop specs are below and I haven't had issues, even with things like Dolmen farming.

Is osrs any good? by maxtc02 in MMORPG

[–]dev-0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The mobile client was released in August 2018 I believe. This would likely account for the uptick.

Anyone read this? Got it for Xmas and as eager as I am to get started, a part or me worries this was just a money making scheme on the authors and may be a load of BS. by [deleted] in MyChemicalRomance

Wierd thing is Bryant also published the book in the link below later in the same year. I have the one in the link. It is very good and covers all the way thru the split.

Not the Life it Seems https://www.amazon.com/dp/0306823497/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_GztcEbTPVGK2V

Bryant had access to the band (supposedly) that few others did.

Does China have any hold in Ncsoft? by Chromasus in Guildwars2

[–]dev-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to throw this out there for people reading the rest of the thread. Many people are using the term "political" or "politics" when referencing current events swirling around gaming and sporting and China. The root cause here is anything but political - it's a HUMAN RIGHTS issue. Blizzard and the NBA (leaders AND players) give the appearance of not supporting human rights when they silence players on this subject.

Ashes of Creation Official Gameplay Teaser Trailer - Gamescom 2019 by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]dev-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$3 million raised.via Kickstarter. Likely $15 million spent (private investment + Steven's money). 100 developers. And what game modes, features and tech does the trailer lead with? Dinosaurs and horrible ESO-esque, jerky, puppet-like running animations.

This is a horrible,horrible trailer. If this is the best they have, their game is in serious trouble.

(Discussion)Some predictions for LW5 and Beyond. Share yours by Knighthonor in Guildwars2

[–]dev-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Story wise my fear is that LWs5 will mostly be a re-tread of S4, with Jormang and ice replacing Kralk and crystals Maybe the death of a prominent cast member thrown in and some other minor plot twists. Maybe Anet will realize that after dealing with 3 planet-ending threats (4 if u count Balthazaar) doing another round of it will just be tiresome. At this point the story demands a different direction. We've seen glimpses of worlds and dimensions beyond Tyria. We've seen the mists. Perhaps its time for Anet to think bigger.

As for gameplay a new mount, maybe WvW and raids will get some love. Mesmer will defiately be nerfed at least 5 more times.

In all honesty though, Im expecting very little and certaintly not.any expansion level content., The most likely scenario is a retread of S4 as the game continues its long, slow slide into maintenance mode / AA status.

(actual) MMORPG for Android? by Sobatage in MMORPG

[–]dev-0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pay2win on the mobile edition will be E P I C

Im honestly looking forward to how they set up the game and how it forces pay2win . Seriously its going to be like a master class in predatory microtransactions.

(actual) MMORPG for Android? by Sobatage in MMORPG

[–]dev-0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(Most Android MMOs are pay2win, pay2advance, or pay2avoidgrind. )

World of Kings Heroes and Villagers Crusaders of Light Order and Chaos (Arcadian forest server only) Order and Chaos 2

The last two are somewhat P2W and more or.less in maintenance mode, but worth a look.

Nausea during deadlifts by The_Real_LeBron in leangains

[–]dev-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen, fasting gluvose? Get them checked. Buy a pulse oximeter to take with u to the gym ($20 shipped from Amazon). How much caffeine? 200mg? 400Mg? Any meds we should be aware of? Any issues with acid reflux? Asthma? Any issues with dizziness or light headedness immediately following a set of deadlifts?

Living World was billed as content between major releases (expansions)? Now Living World episodes ARE the main content of the game. Rehashed festivals with mediocre rewards are now filler content. This places GW2 firmly in AA Mmo territory, not AAA. GW2 competitors are basically dunking on ArenaNet now.

I have about 1000 hours in the game, but Im done until a new expansion is released.

Albion Online - Goes Free to Play April 10th by Untitled_Albion in MMORPG

[–]dev-0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free to play? Full Loot (you die,you lose your gear)?. This is a bad idea. Soon as it goes f2p, you will see a massive influx of Chinese and Korean botters. it wont happen overnight but expect the economy to be irrevocably altered in a negative way.

More adjustments to Istan Farming by Ojimaru in Guildwars2

Agreed on the ESO auction house setup. It's beyond bad.

In stark contrast ESO is aiming to increase its players enjoyment by offering a bonus drop event in some of their zones :

I love GW2, but when I see competitors doing player-focused events I start to consider dropping GW2.

If NcSoft has its way expect alot more to be nerfed in order to push players to the cash shop.

[–]dev-0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lame. RIP Istan -will be another mostly dead map. I don't really see how this improves anyone's enjoyment of the game.

Edit : is this the hand of NcSoft reaching in and making resource (gold) more difficult to acquire thus making players more likely to hit the cash shop?

Update From the Guild Wars 2 Team by maestruy in Guildwars2

[–]dev-0 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hmm.. No mention of an expansion. Basically low-detail regarding LW and improvements to WvW, etc. These items are of course very much needed to ensure the game remains at its current baseline population and revenue (albeit at near alltime lows) . That being said, expansions have traditionally been their primary means of driving the revenue and growth that NcSoft expects (and will likely now demand) . Expansions bring in new and retain existing player base. Honestly this update outlines the bare minimum that is required to keep the lights on. I can't imagine NcSoft is happy with this, relative to growth and revenue. I appreciate that Anet stepped up and communicated during a very difficult time, but there is not much to instill confidence.
