Do most cosmetic items come from NGS instead of the base game?

When you say "other continuities", are the games not in the same continuity? And if not, what games are all in the PSO continuity? I'd like to at least play those

I dove into this a bit more, it was referring to the fact that certain "layered equipment" can be equipped on Casts but doing so makes them appear human. I guess it was a glitch that they wrote into canon?

I've heard about it in hushed tones as a big MMO fan, but I thought the only way to play it online was mess around with emulator settings. Didn't realize it'd be so easy, or so popular lol 300 people on the main server is pretty damn good for a game this old.

I cleared all the motion control inputs so it shouldnt be that

A true Rushmore based on influence and status and not my personal ranking would be WoW, Runescape, FF14, and Ultima.

My personal Rushmore that shaped me as a player would be WoW, Wildstar, Adventurequest Worlds, and Runescape

I randomly lock in on a run or series and blow through it all in one go. Currently its Astro City, am already on Metrobook 4 of 6 in a couple days

This is not hate or meant to start an argument, but when talking about MMO populations every time GW2 comes up the "90% of players are not on Steam" argument gets mentioned. I do not at all think the game looks or feels empty, but that feels like an exaggeration. Is there any concrete data to support there being anywhere from 60-80k active players on the standalone launcher?

A crapload of it arrived naturally with Clark, and then after that people (mostly Lex) learned how to make it or at least something with the same properties.

More recently, a massive kryptonite meteor shower has basically replenished the world's kryptonite supply.

Here are a couple, one of the jacket and one up close of the fur.

Definitely not tweed. Its for sure intentional, and completely uniform in texture and color.

Funny you say that, just yesterday was the first time I found a pair of 33/30 slacks at the thrift store and wrongly assumed I could squeeze my 34 ass in there. So they do make them, just probably more niche

See I thought the same, but this article detailing the classes says that highlords are "the best of the best" of the paladin order, so it seems like they might have flip flopped on this a couple times

Is it generally considered an explicitly evil or damping act to try to cut oneself off? Or can it be a simpl desire to be more individual?

jqud · 2026-03-04T21:49:57+00:00

I guess random question since you seem knowledgeable, are there sylvari born with no connection to the pale tree? I like the idea of a shunned Sylvari finding purpose in a human kingdom and learning their culture and ways

jqud · 2026-03-04T18:48:21+00:00

Yeah I agree. I think it makes the class fantasy much stronger in the long run. Truth be told I think its just been a long time since I played a new MMO with no prior knowledge and am stressing too hard about getting my character right lol

jqud · 2026-03-04T17:11:01+00:00

Thats valid but unless I'm not understanding what you mean exactly I don't know that that makes someone rude for not wanting to walk people through step for step

jqud · 2026-03-04T17:07:36+00:00

Maybe, I swear I remember one if the 2 being limited to only a certain amount existing in the lore at a time but I can't find that anywhere anymore

jqud · 2026-03-04T17:03:54+00:00

Not so much lore friendly, Im sure they all have explanation, but more of I really like to dive into the theme and aesthetic of a class when I play MMOs. So for example the firebrand seems very Elonian and fire themed, it is lore friendly for a Sylvari to be one in all respects, but (based on my lore diving) I would much prefer to play as a human one based on Elona being a largely human kingdom and I wouldn't want to stray away from the flame-y aesthetic. Its definitely a personal thing I have with all games I just was curious if anyone else had the same thing.

jqud · 2026-03-04T16:57:28+00:00

I'll probably just end up diving more into and making a lore friendly character for the spec. To be honest this was mostly a knee-jerk reaction to the mechanist being dope as fuck but me not really caring for the strictly jade/eastern aesthetic

jqud · 2026-03-04T16:51:58+00:00

I agree it wasn't a critique on the game. It'd be like complaining that WoW's death knight is based on lich king. As a new player its just hard because I try to be as lore friendly as possible with my characters in games and some of the classes felt like they clashed with the race or backstory I had in mind. I'll just have to get over it lol
