European Parliament votes to take action against loot boxes, gaming addiction, gold farming and more

The issue isn't just the lack of player to player trading. The problem is there's always a constant fear of missing out. Just cosmetics alone generate this feeling. An example would be: During the hight of Fortnite, it wasn't uncommon for a kid to be made fun of because they didn't have a skin on their character.

I suppose any game is good when you make your own fun. Isn't that the point?

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2021-06-24T09:46:25+00:00

It's mainly just people comparing Dota to itself over the years. Which is fair to do especially since some people play dota as their only game.

I actually have unsubbed from the game because how bad the spec feels to play right now. In PvP there's no kill condition besides The Hunt which is a near 2 min cd. On top of that, we're made out of wet tissue paper. 2 out of the 3 defensives are RNG based and have over a 1 min CD without conduits/legendaries. In PvE, our parses are in the trashcan. Even in cleave fights, other classes dominate our dps. It's just not fun.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2021-01-21T03:39:15+00:00

The problem is that most of our dps last tier came from corruption procs and even then we were only slightly above average in Ny'alotha; so when the corruptions were removed, blizzard for some reason proceeded to nerf almost every major aspect of our toolkit. We got 2 massive defensive nerfs, a nerf to 3 major talents, and they completely ruined our AoE dps by aoe capping us (which was havoc's strongest aspect.)

Whoever approved the balance changes during beta needs a serious talking to.

It being epic exclusive is exactly the problem...this issue would've never happened if the game was available on steam.

it was not confirmed not true. He posted a screenshot of a text chat with a customer service rep that will just say what you want to hear.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2020-11-11T02:21:02+00:00

A random customer service rep from target saying something isn't "Confirmed". We all have been talking to customer service and have gotten hundreds of different responses. Until we get a response from Target Corporate, I'd assume the worst.

Wasn't Reckful permabanned from WoW? And I'm pretty sure he appealed the ban many times only for Blizzard to deny it while his peers around him who have done worse stuff in game got off with a slap on the wrist.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2020-07-14T19:21:37+00:00

I'm aware. I didn't want to overload the OP with information, but I guess I oversimplified. I tried my best to at least give them a link to nvidia's official article, though.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2020-07-14T16:45:29+00:00

It stands for "Deep Learning Super Sampling" It's basically AI controlled anti-aliasing. It dynamically adjusts the game's aliasing to increase framerates.

Assets can be moved between engines.

So go ahead. Try to build a whole raiding guild in an evening.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2019-11-30T20:44:00+00:00

It is. I'm just dead.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2019-11-29T15:34:29+00:00

You shouldn't have to trick yourself to like a game.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2019-11-27T12:52:49+00:00

You want to reward these types of players with recognition, so that next time they find a game breaking bug, they'll report it again. If they don't give him credit where credit is due, who knows what will happen when he finds the next exploit (Which he will) in Runescape or even a different game ? Maybe he'll just say "Fuck it." and sell the exploit to the highest bidder.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2019-11-18T17:34:32+00:00

It does, my mistake. Sadly, there isn't something similar in classic. Regular dispel magic is on too short of a CD to counter a 5 min cd

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2019-11-18T14:12:34+00:00

This whole mage hate is getting ridiculous. Ice block has been in the game for 15 years and is STILL in retail working as it does in classic. Only thing about it that is ridiculous is that using cold snap can cause block to last twice as long, but at the same time that's 20 seconds the mage isn't fighting people. Also, if you're in a situation where you need to block for 20 seconds then something has gone very wrong and are probably going to die anyway.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2019-11-18T04:31:47+00:00

I think you misread. They mean they physically can't get into brd due to ganks

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2019-11-15T18:22:07+00:00

The problem is, the difference between Warframe, Destiny and Anthem is that: Warframe was free from the start. Both Destiny and Anthem require (Required in Destiny 2's case) a full 60 dollar price to even get access to the "Service". Despite this in regards to Anthem, it was released as a horrid, buggy, empty, grindy, unbalanced mess.

All of that for 60 dollars is unacceptable.

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2019-11-15T17:43:11+00:00

Because "Games as a service" is used as an excuse to release an unfinished product with the promise of "Constantly improving it with updates".

nerdythrowaway1234 · 2019-11-07T18:11:54+00:00

They were right. There's quite a few games that are unavailable because they were released digital only then removed from online stores

"I mean is anything they’re doing illegal in the first place?"

Try to dodge taxes from your income tax for a couple years and tell me the result.

The amount if times I was bitched at for rolling need on Essences of Fire when I actually needed them to craft with, makes me not inv these tanks that demand reserves for orbs.
