  Nah, I haven’t played ESO as part of the guild in over a month. I still get on and do some stuff, but it’s solo stuff or just with a group who linked up. Unless you’re joining an end-game guild, I’d say the function is more social than content. T&L maybe a little different, but the point of the big guilds is that you can join, and you have a group of “vetted” players you fit in with to play when you want to. It is what you make of it, y’know?

  I would avoid zone-wide chats. They end up in pissing contests about who’s cooler, edgier, better, etc. Local or proxy chat let’s you talk to a party directly in front of you, like you are actually addressing the person instead of the name in a chat box.

  As to what you should say, say the first thing that comes to mind, short of “want to buy GF”. Find similar minded people. Additionally, join guilds or discords. Check the game sub for guild finder stuff, join medium sized guilds that are doing content you like. Be prepared to leave if you don’t feel like you fit or it doesn’t mesh well. The beauty of MMOs is they generally have a decent sized player base, you’ll find community somewhere. They just rarely come find you.

  Yeah, that’s the draw XDef has over CoD. It’s F2P and generally the content is earnable, outside of some cosmetics and additional currency. I think both “locked” factions can be bought through challenge completions, so not really P2W either, paying just unlocks it faster. And it’s not a bad shooter either imo, it’s just…the same as every other shooter. Very average.

  Gotta get the game in front of the young eyes as much as possible to get that sweet miceotramsaction money from their parents

  Thanks! I spent years in Diamond, and had a mini goal to get to Champ. Never really been one to practice mechanics, it was just sheer rotation and positioning. Like I can’t hit off the wall with any kind of consistency. Hit it in like…2019 and haven’t played much since, I actually played last night prior to this comment for the first time in probably a year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only games I ever 100%ed were…Assassins Creed 1 and Rocket League, strictly by achievements only. Like I never made it past Champ in RL, and AC1 was really just beat game and collect flags. I never have the urge to 100% a game cause usually it’s just a grind for grinds sake and that isn’t fun to me

  I never got the PS Pro controller but I’m well-versed in the Xbox Elite bullshit. The best way I’ve seen to go about it is to buy a Core Elite from Gamestop or a store that has their OWN in-house purchasable warranty (Target goes through All-State or something I think so you have to send it in). It’s $30 to Gamestop but I’m covered for a full-year for when the bumper inevitably goes. If, by some miracle, it doesn’t, I go anyway and exchange it for a new one at a local store for no controller cost, and pay Gamestop another $30 for the warranty. It’s cheaper than a new standard controller and I don’t have to deal with any additional warranty process. It’s just an exchange. It’s bullshit that it happens, but the game I play the most basically requires the back paddles.

  I’ve never had stick drift on the Elites (or any controller otherwise), it’s just bumper problems. I’ve heard the SCUFS get drift pretty badly second-hand and their replacement process is much slower. The new Turtle Beach controller seems decent, but I have doubts about battery life and I’m not ready to buy-in on it yet. The PDP Victric with replacement modules feels very similar to the PS Pro issue where the modules just are never in stock so that’s out too.

  Some enterprising business could make a killing with a decent controller, but apparently Xbox won’t license wireless controllers unless you do specific things with them, likely preventing any real pressure to get better.

  Nah. I’m staying at my current stage, paying for Live and then doing the extra $5 for Game Pass…shit tier? Idk what it’s called now. I don’t need to play CoD on day 1.

  I very vaguely remember that lol,now that you mention it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨XDefiant Hits Around 8 Million Unique Players in 1 Week⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is why I’m so regretfully enjoying it. It plays well despite being a Ubisoft game lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨XDefiant Hits Around 8 Million Unique Players in 1 Week⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I hate to say it, Ubisoft has a really solid game on their hands. Some issue with netcode and I think the XIM/Cronus use is going to rise pretty quickly, but other games have dealt with it before. I’ve enjoyed the few hours I put in so far and will be playing it tonight with the boys. I’d like to see a classic TDM but hotshot works for now. Also a really cool take on the Kill Confirmed gametype
