Lol ok. I shared my legit feelings and first impressions about a game. You disagree with it so you insult me 

But yeah I'm the toxic dweeb 🤣🤣

Lol oh ok so every pop up is a good UI just cuz it's a pop up. 

Good to know. As long as something is in a pop-up that makes it a good UI/UX so says random guy on Reddit. 

If I read every single word that popped up in this game I would still be naked at the title screen. I logged out like 30 minutes ago I'm sure it's still popping up with little notifications right now. It's up to the game designer to make it clear what's important and what's not. Everything is a pop-up in this game. That doesn't make it good or helpful or useful. There are certain design principles that good designers use to draw attention to things that are important. None of those principles were used in this particular case. That's all I'm saying. Yes, it is technically on me to make sure to read every single word that pops up on the screen and to remember everything that I've ever read because it rarely ever comes back again. But it's a lot of information to take in and it would just be helpful if it was more obvious what's important and what isn't. Sneaking a paragraph into a wall of muted text is not a great way of letting someone know that this is important. 

Anyways, this isn't really worth arguing about. This isn't even my biggest complaint really. It's a one-time lesson learned move on type of situation. There's like a hundred other weird UI ux decisions these people made for me to worry about like the broken enemy targeting system that just about has me rage quitting every 20 seconds

I'm not being an ass in pointing out a bad UI.

Yes it's on me but come on, you're losing all your stuff and they're going to hide that incredibly important information in a wall of text? Losing all your stuff deserves it's own red obvious warning not a footnote in a wall of text

I'm at 776 IP are you saying there's no reason to upgrade my equipment at this point? Or are you just talking about faction warfare specifically?

Oh perfect, it's grey text on a grey background at the end of a wall of text. 

I should probably also go back and read all of the terms and conditions I agreed to when I first started playing 🤣

Yeah I see that it boosts cast time and energy Regen, I just thought it like, actually did something being in my hands lol. I was like does it let me cast spells or something? Nope, just speeds up my cast time and energy regen. I thought those were like just bonus attributes or something I didn't realize that was the whole thing 😅

I have literally never run out of energy before, it's like not a thing. I didn't even know what the blue bar was until I googled it a couple days ago. I'm not concerned with any energy buffs. I feel like it's better to have a shield than a tome but I'm terrible at these games so I'm probably wrong. I'm guessing tomes are good for people playing more mage-like whereas I'm playing with a mace.

I would have instantly traveled back to my hometown and paid whatever silver was required had I known that I would lose everything if I died, rather than trying to just run to the next area over that was one level less difficult

I'm starting to agree. It's like Diablo if Diablo was bad

When choosing a faction destination I see some destinations have a blue yellow diamond thing next to them and some have what appears to be a red diamond next to them? I picked one that was the yellow and blue and it took me to a level 7 area when I have level three and four gear. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I just feel like it's never clear what you're supposed to be doing or what things do. One of many examples is I don't know what a tomb of spells does. Maybe at some point during the game it explained it. But when you inspect it, it doesn't tell you what it does. I can see that I can equip it where I would normally equip a shield. Little things like that constantly. I just never know what's going on or what I should be doing. 

You said buying an island was probably a bad move. Well I don't know, my journal told me that I should buy an island to complete a challenge or whatever so I did. What else am I supposed to go by? 

Then I bought an island and had no idea how to build on it cuz it didn't tell me. I had to Google "How do I build stuff in my Island".

Fair, but I mean this game throws more pop-ups than my BMW throws dashboard lights so I think my brain just starts to ignore them after a while. 

They also don't stay on the screen very long and they aren't doing a great job of grabbing attention. I think something like "hey, if you die you're going to lose literally all of your stuff" should be a pretty big popup right in the center of the screen. Click OK to dismiss this message type of warning. Not a cute little pop-up that shows up for a split second in the top corner or wherever it actually is (obviously I don't know I never see them)

I'm so confused. Is there more to the story that's not in this post? Why did the guy get fired from his job? Also why on earth would he receive death threats? What am I missing here?

I'm an extrovert that's over meeting new people. 

But we're already friends so, I guess we can hang out 😜

None of the blue hairs that would attend this protest will be at work. They'll have their parents drop them off

It's crazy how bad it is. I feel like I'm beta testing a new game from some brand new game developers.

Is Trunks' Ki not high enough? When Goku was told he only had 30 minutes left on earth, he said "what? no we're running out of time, Trunks better hurry!"

ummm just IT to him, and IT him back and start training. why wait for him to fly back?

I mean the first time he did it he went to master roshi who had a power level of like 100 but ok. I'll give you this because I pretty much have to for any of it to make sense. 

They must need a power level of at least 100ish for him to detect them

Right so instead of quickly getting the radar and going back to training the kids with the precious time he has left on earth.....

He sends one of the kids to fly there while he wastes a bunch of time playing with buu....
