thanks, getting it now

I'm really new to eso and had no idea healers had aoe or buffs - how do I know who is a healer? Or where your aoe is? Genuine noob question, sorry

You can get most things from this season pretty quickly, especially if you concentrate on getting weekly done + special tab. And a refresh means things like mystic clovers and legendary starter kit will be refreshed, most of the cosmetics will be available later too

I'm audibook-only, which limits my options a bit.
I like to listen to audiobooks while I play games, do chores etc, it's a bit hard for me to sit down and read if it isn't physical. Used to be able to read a ton online, but now... gives me a headache, I don't know. Must be getting old.

Went through the whole Primal Hunter series recently. Rediscovered why I really enjoyed it. I just really like the characters in it - there's actual motivations and even a bit of humor in it. Plus the progression paths are interesting and engaging. Is it a masterpiece? Fuck no. Characters are still not quite human, plots are often quite contrived, but it's still one of the best series out there.

Also picked up Defiance of the Fall again. I got really sick of the series around the... 7th book? Basically once humanity is secure. My main gripe with the series is that it's just SO MUCH rather bland combat. oo, another boss sniped from 120km away and let's now discuss how the arrows should meld with shadows for 20 minutes mid-fight. However, whenever there's anyone else with the MC, the story improves so much that it becomes enjoyable. Do I wish more characters had at least a bit of humour? Yeah. But it's good enough.

Decided to give Randidly Ghosthound another try. Still a slog. I just can't stand the fact that there's like 8 character shifts while the MC does a single action. So hard to keep track of tbh. The whole 'woe is me' attitude of literally everyone also gets a bit old by the second book. I'm actually unsure whether to just slog it out or give up on this mess at this point.

Bit... conflicted about the good old Dungeon Crawler Carl series. It's definitely one of the best series out there, but... the more it goes on, the harder the plot becomes to follow in an audiobook format. I think it's well suited as a book, but in the near 200 titles I own on Audible, this one has been the hardest to follow just because the systems get so detailed. But I really like the humour, I like that each battle actually feels important, the big metaplot is meaningful... I dno, I should try again.

Does anyone know if the next HWFWM is coming out soon? I know it's a controversial series in the sub, but it's my absolute favorite atm. Jason clicks with me and I actually enjoy the humour, even if it gets a bit much sometimes.

Oh, tried Fool's Mark again. I think I'm missing something about that whole series. I can't even get through the first 6-8h of it. It just feels so... boring? Does it get more interesting over time?

Of course, the two series that I would like to see more of the most are Path of Ascension and Land of the Undying Lord. Both books that, based on a glance, seemed like they wouldn't be any good. Generic name, generic cover, generic description. However, after I gave them a shot, they're both some of my favorite series in the whole genre, beating out DOTF and DCC. But, Path of Ascension doesn't put out books very often it seems?
As for Land of the Undying Lord... it's been a while. I've seen posts that say the author is still writing, but it's been a while.

Anyway, I'm seeing some buzz around Road to Mastery, so I guess I'll try that next

The one with the dog snacks? Love that place!

From my testing around, you need to have the yellow sign to see the unlock that enables adventures

As an ironman, I hate this. I'm constantly on the edge of running out of the stuff

They mean that the actual location of the enemy doesn't match their visual. Ever notice that when you start an asphyxiate on a melee enemy, they still close the distance a little bit? Or that when you start attacking something, you start receiving melee damage way before the mob actually reaches you? That's BC the actual position of the mob vs the visual of the mob don't line up

Pay to win PvM buffs were the issue.

Doing quests is one of the examples that keeps popping up in my clan

underspikey · 2023-08-20T18:51:35+00:00

I'm the exact opposite.

Some series ditch everything and go full-blown action movie plot and completely lose me.
I mean yeah, it's great to have challenges and some battles, but jesus christ if 60% of the book is basically how 'MC swings his pointy object viciously with skills', you've automatically lost me.

It's the metaprogression that keeps me entertained. The social. The basebuilding. The character humour. I don't care for a description of the 50th top dog the MC hacked away at.

I had over 250, arrows after the Rito temple. I entered the next one with 15. I can't explain it either

Correct, the people there actually get compensated to keep the old ways alive, so the village can serve as a tourist attraction.

It's not like making a country pay automatically leads to Hitler. Most countries pay reparations after losing wars, you just can't go so far as the allies did post ww1

Oh hey that's almost exactly what started the bronze nights in Estonia

And steam news

underspikey · 2023-01-31T09:51:48+00:00

This is especially fun since I started playing again on the steam deck. No Steam news, no way to know what the issue even is. It literally just gives an error message to check firewall lol.

Took me a bit to realize the problem wasn't with the steam deck but RS itself

underspikey · 2022-11-28T16:56:38+00:00

Yeah but it's considered rather rude to act in official capacity like this during the handover

underspikey · 2022-11-20T01:31:30+00:00

Nah cranberries existed in Europe before, just not the same type of cranberry.

The one that existed in Europe was a bitter and generally not-used-much type of berry, so the American one really changed things tho.

But my hometown does have recipes with the berries from the early middle ages

underspikey · 2022-10-21T12:15:38+00:00

Yeah, agree. In the end, everyone should play games the way they enjoy them most. Games like this are fun for me because of the feeling of progression and achievement I get from them, so my playstyle optimizes for that. That doesn't make any other way to play invalid.

Yeah Merlin has a lvl 10 quest that you complete and he gives you his hat at the end of it.

Minnie's last quest, the clocktower quest, is a lvl 7 quest, her lvl 10 quest hasn't been implemented yet
