    Ancient Kingdoms

    This is good fun, really hits the single-player mmo target. In early-endgame ( vet 30 ), I think I am going to shelve it for a while to let it cook though. There's a few janky and easily fixable issues ( like not turning on auto-attack with ability, having absolute dogshit tab targeting...

    Hold position seems pretty buggy - from basic stuff like having them run around into a different spot and *then* hold position, I've also had some: - Run into a wall and then vanish - Stop attacking and/or healing It also doesn't stop them from running away from boss abilities, which is good in...

    Yes, they scale with level. It doesn't seem to change relative difficulty though - like the ice zone has way more mobs spawning much faster than the forest one.

    That's probably in the top 10 for self-publish mistakes, although it doesn't come close to the forerunners of discreet/discrete and sheathe/sheath. I think tools like grammarly are actually making it worse because instead of inconsistently getting it wrong, they end up teaching the tool that is...

    Widow's Bay

    This is good fun. Not what I was expecting from horror comedy - it's legit really good horror, the comedy isn't making fun of the horror parts, but more about the character's reactions to them. Thumbs up from me after the first two eps.

    Ancient Kingdoms

    Prolly depends on what class and mercs you have - troll cave minibosses ( mushroom, troll, crawler ) have the sorcerer set, which is a significant upgrade over the ice cave set for mages - makes a pretty short loop while farming gold. With tank main I pretty much have to take druid and cleric...

    There's some others that I found - the troll dungeon is 30-40 as well, there's also some dungeons with weird gaps, like abandoned tombs is a level 10 dungeon, but the eastern wing is level 35 with a level 40 boss. Given the gaps in the bestiary, I'm probably missing several other 30-40 ones.

    Ancient Kingdoms

    Getting ganked by the ancient cyclops in the middle of a newbie zone brings me back. All the old flair - like killing a named then finding a quest given to kill that named then waiting an hour for it to respawn ;p

    Dunno your class, but if you are warrior you can just stun her to prevent the spider summoning. Slam is a pretty handy skill.

    That's not true, even all the way up to current time. The non-human bit is doing a lot of carrying there as well, given that 90% of all the characters are non-human. That, on the other hand, is a completely fair criticism.

    Ancient Kingdoms

    There's two different dismisses - if you dismiss from their portrait ( red cross ), then they just go inactive in tavern, they still stay with all their gear etc and you can hire a new one for that slot. The second dismiss, the gray skull on the merc screen, permanently deletes them and, as far...

    LitRPG

    Path of the Deathless is kind of the ADHD of litrpg, it's pretty much a relentless onslaught of ridiculously over the top action and progression. Central conceit is that the MC gets stronger against whatever killed him each time he gets killed. If you thought DotF was too slow to ramp up this...

    Invincible

    Normally 'super powered beings can't come up with anything better than punching for a fight' is a lame cliche, but that opening uppercut gets a pass from me ;p

    That's probably actually a best case for a show like this - don't have to run the line between having no content if you are renewed and spinning wheels going nowhere in the current season. 'You've got a season to wrap it up' is pretty generous.
