That is what their marketing wants you to think, the reality is going to be its just another soulless shallow designed-by-committee AAA rpg. Nothing ive seen so much has led me to believe otherwise and they have quite a streak of bad games to break.
- Comment on So... Let's talk about StarSector 8 months ago:
I remember trying it quite a few years ago but it was too much work to learn to play it at the time, I knew how long it usually takes for games like DF, kenshi or rimworld to click and wasn’t sure if star sector is worth it when I had x3, factorio, m&b to occupy me.
I am always tempted to give it a try but the number of new complex games keeps increasing while the number of my brain cells keeps dropping xd

Lemmy is a public forum, discord servers are usually for invite-only, more closed-off communities, and we’re not talking about a lemmy replacement but rather how this is inadequate as a discord replacement.

I don’t know about discord issues, the hype behind is it mostly that it’s free, very convenient, feature rich and can easily integrate bots.
Matrix issues that I read about can be seen here telegra.ph/why-not-matrix-08-07 . I haven’t done my own research tho so I don’t know if all of this is (still) true
- Comment on Enshittification Continues: Discord to begin showing advertisements on it's free platform 8 months ago:
Hope we get some comparable options yet, I only know of matrix and that one allegedly has tons of security and performance issues.

I’d suggest valheim but I’m not sure how is the performance nowadays, our rented servers struggled a lot with only 3-4 people and I think 10 is the max. Sailing was especially very laggy and glitchy because if it unfortunately.

Doesn’t seem to be the same as the last one, the only rewards you can buy from the vendor are some chest novelty transforms? The achievement rewards also have some basic stuff, the best one is the +10 AR infusion in the trinket but even that is kinda boring
- Comment on SotO's Rifthunting 1 year ago:
Not quite, they only had one bounty modifier and could still be killed pretty fast with 5-10 players. I’d say PoF regular bounty, and then tier 3 is gonna be a PoF legendary bounty-level fight.

You can actually see most of the requirements through achievements and new crafting recipes
- Comment on SotO's Rifthunting 1 year ago:
Thanks but I said as much already in the main post above ( “do we know if they are actually used for anything besides crafting the new legendary armor once it’s available in 9 months?”). I already have legendary armor from raiding so I’m not interested in this one, and considering the essences are accountbound I’m not sure what are they good for to me.
- Comment on SotO's Rifthunting 1 year ago:
Tier 2 rifts have a proper champion miniboss that’s much tougher to kill so I think it’s only an issue with T1s (and those are meant for < 5 players anyway). My bigger possible issue is with rewards since I’m still not sure why are we closing them, at least PoF had the new armors, elegy mosaics, trade contracts in addition to regular drops like unids and money.

Looks like they are out of codes again, same errors like last time :/
- Comment on Early opinion 1 year ago:
Another problem I see with dailies/weeklies is that they aren’t synced between players. It would be great if my friends would have the same objectives as me, that we can pursue together.
They are actually, but only between people who have the same preference (pve vs pvp vs wvw) and the same expansions on their acc.
- Comment on Early opinion 1 year ago:
Can’t comment on story so far but voice acting and the setup are really good so far, looking forward to learning more about the kryptis, wizards and demons! It definitely feels soooo janky at times - overlapping audio, desynced cinematics and sound, progression breaking bugs in story instances, lots of backtracking to home base, etc.
The new WV reward system seems… interesting. If anything I think the rewards might be too good because I kinda want to grind every daily and weekly now and I’m pretty sure I will hate it by the end of quarter?
The rifts are kinda disappointing, we only have tier 1s and they are kinda lame both in terms of encounter itself and rewards you get from it.
Runes seem torn in identity, 90% of them are fun utilities but the 10% will be meta defining and the only ones in actual use. They should have made them either all utility and niche, or all build-defining.
- Comment on Just because a jaded veteran post his opinion, doesn't mean it's negative. 1 year ago:
I mean yeah, but what do you wanna do about it? It still has some positives to keep me around and playing, more than many other games, so while I wish there was more I think it’s healthier to just be happy about the little that it is there. It’s their own loss if they can’t figure out how to make it more lucrative, years ago I’d buy the ultimate expansion editions of HoT and PoF and now I’m fine just getting the bare minimum and then spend the rest on other games.
I definitely feel the lack of ambition and/or budget from their side but literally nothing we do can affect that. Even if the entire gaming community of lemmy/kbin/reddit/twitter united and complained, it’d be a drop in the ocean compared to the overall casual market and be barely a blip on NCSoft’s radar.
As with most things in life, enjoy the things you love, try to find the positives and don’t lose sleep over things you can’t change. I don’t know if GW2 is going to be around in another 5 or 10 years but for now it’s enjoyable enough and I’m looking forward to SOTO even though it’s not as much as I’d like to get.
- Comment on [Meme] Hope we all had a friend react the same way 1 year ago:
The drawback of game being based on horizontal progression is that at this point when you reach level 80 you have to find your own goals, if that’s getting ascended gear, leveling and learning new classes, farming gold, unlocking skins or something else.
Maybe getting the living story and expansions would be a good next step since it adds more story content and open world maps to play through, as well as more friendly instanced content in form of strike missions and eventually raids (once you’re ready to tackle them).
And yeah fractals are fun but people tend to speedrun them a lot since most people are experienced with them. Try clarifying in your LFG that you want to learn and practice instead of speedrun.
