    New World

    Funny, but for mmo's 1000 hours isn't that much. The player base, especially hardcore, expects to be entertained for months on end. So the endgame needs to have a ton of time wasting mechanics. Hopefully, not just lame dailies. Not being able to create an engaging endgame seems to be the...

    New World

    Really hope they can bring this game back to life. Have been doing the rounds of the mmo's I generally play and it aint workin for me. Been there, done that, too many times. We really need some new blood in the mmo space. Lost Ark was fun for a month or so, but that style of gear grind is not...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I build my systems to last. And have been planning for the next build for a few months. The cpu, bus and memory generation are more important to me than the gpu. If you build early in the cycle for those specs and components then the computer can be upgraded with gpu's while still maintain it's...

    Wish I knew more about the 4000 series. Specifically the power load and the amount of cooling I will need. I have a rtx 2080 in an older system. Going to build a new system soon that is future proofed for DDR5, pcie 5, etc. when the new amd / intel chips come out. I like a quiet system and...

    Guild Wars 2

    Balance in GW2 is just like any other mmo, it's all about fotm. Balance is impossible and a moving target. If you are just doing open world stuff, it doesn't matter. Every class can face roll open world. It's only in wvw, pvp or high end fractals / raids that fotm makes a difference. I spent...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, that's one of the main reasons I never could get into WoW. They just trash old mechanics at every expansion / reset. Never played during the time garrisons were useful. When I did get around to playing again, I liked garrisons but by then they were almost useless and a waste of time. It...

    Embers Adrift

    Bought this a couple of weeks ago. Only played a couple of nights (almost zero free time these days), so haven't left the starting zone. Had fun, bare bones game and ended up staying up too late playing. Had to start a new toon, because I did an intentional death run into a higher level area...

    Guild Wars 2

    I remember really enjoying the base game when it first came out, but so much has changed in the game and in mmo's in general since then. A few months ago went back to get world completion on another toon for more Gifts of Exploration (needed to make gen1 legendary weapons). It was a chore even...

    House of the Dragon

    Liked the episode well enough, but it is a bit slow. Would have preferred they started this series with some some dragons burning down cities, thousands of people and everything else. They better not make me wait until episode 10 for the carnage.

    Guild Wars 2

    PvE endgame is high level fractals and raids. That's where the pve min/maxers go. I know the PvE legendary armor requires high level raids, not sure what else they provide. I picked up my legendary armor doing WvW. There are some legendary weapon pieces I need from low level fractals. I like...

    Guild Wars 2

    No, not the entire game but many achievements and skins are. Legendaries, etc. Thing is though, GW2 isn't your typical gear game. Max level gold gear from the auction house is cheap, easy to obtain, and the stats are almost as good as Ascended. You can do almost all of the content in gold gear...

    Guild Wars 2

    And if you want the special achievement weapon skins for each class you have to do the story 9 times. Noped out of that quick. GW1 stories were much better than Guild Wars 2's. Some of the GW2 stuff isn't bad but the main game story and the EoD story cause my eyes to bleed. Don't play mmo's for...

    Guild Wars 2

    It's fairly typical for games that came out before the move to steam. BDO and a bunch of others are the same. They already have the players from before and don't have to give steam a cut from those accounts for future purchases. Destiny 2 was cool though and migrated.

    House of the Dragon

    The wigs are weird on most of the actors. But the episode was fine, too early to tell if it will be a good show or not. I'll be watching it even if it's mediocre and woke. I like the setting and the production values are high.

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Use to work in the industry in the late 90's, early 2000's. Didn't work on any mmo's though, so nada there. Usually figure out how to make gold early on any game I play. But never sold it for real life cash. Just use it to make life easier in the game, or give it to my friends who never seem to...

    Black Desert

    Nice. Saturday the courser I was working on finally became a Pegasus, on the 54th try. Which works out to be 20 billion in mats, etc. Horse training is one of the more P2W parts of the game. And very time consuming. I enjoy the horse thing though, and am resigned to spending cash on the skill...

    Black Desert

    Yeah. This game... I might start back up with this next season. Good timing, about done with my legendary grind in GW2. But my usual m.o. with BDO is to start back up, play like a madman for a couple of months and have a great time. Then grind for a few months until I it isn't fun anymore and...

    Black Desert

    Just pick one that sounds fun and realize that you will probably switch mains as soon as you start to figure the game out. With that in mind don't spend too much (money, in game stuff, etc.) on your first toon. Some things, like outfits, are character bound. And like Raes said you can do trial...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    GW2's combat is great. Not as good as BDO's, but it's very fast and fluid, with a lot of deep possiblities (combos and synergies with other classes) where skill matters. And it's fun. GW2's combat is way, way better than most other mmo's, even to this day. They also did a great job making it...

    How low will it go I wonder? Just a quick look at Amazon has 3090's slightly under msrp. There are a fuckton of these cards out there and with crypto crashing, Nvidia / AMD are going to have a hell of time selling competing with all of those extra cards coming back. Plus they want to clear out...

    TRON: Ares

    Syd Mead designed much of the original look of Tron and the original Blade Runner movie. He wasn't involved in the sequels and they suffered for it. Not bad movies but without Syd's vision they just looked like any other Hollywood copy. Tron 3 will be bad. Don't wish it so, but Hollywood isn't...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Looking forward to this, hope it's good. Thought the end of season 8 left a lot of room for sequels. Arya heading out to explore sounded interesting too. Maybe they can bring her back with Jon in this new series and show us "What's west of Westeros". Still don't understand the mass hate GoT...

    The Old Man

    Some of Jeff Bridges efforts the last decade or so are not that good, he can over do that raspy thing sometimes. But he's a still a great actor and he was awesome in the remake of True Grit (still love the original too). Like what I see here so far. Could be great.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Everyone wants to do that. The problem is that they are not George Lukas (or J.K. Rowling, George R.R. Martin, etc). They may be good film makers but there are a ton of them around. Good world builders are a rare find. Just giving the world building to any director because he wants to do it...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    Don't think they are hating on the game so much. Seems to be more about taking Todd Howard down a peg for recent dumbshit decisions and using Starfield as the proxy. Saw a video that claims Starfield looks like No Man's Sky. But they are both space games with your toon in a space suit flying...
