glazing as usual but gw2’s the only one that did it right. classes feel good to play from the get-go

I never normally complain about a lack of flying in a zone, but my god I wish the Undermine just had normal flying. I cannot overstate just how much I hate the car and how it controls. I don’t know what it is but I just don’t feel well while using it and while normal mounts are available and I am content to use them it does suck to miss out on rares because it spawned over the other side and everyone else can get to it faster.

While I’m the opposite, give me the car in the Overworld. I can hold a solid drift for a minute

Instructions unclear, all ground mounts now drive like the undermine car to help you get used to it.

This is a threat outlining that I am going to threaten you in the future if this behaviour continues.

Hes just…crashing into that fence…menacingly

Thinking which mage spec to level as in timewalking. Granted, timewalking is faceroll anyway so it doesn’t matter much, but if I understand correctly, as arcane, most of my time will be spent casting Arcane Explosion, Arcane Explosion, Arcane Explosion, Arcane Explosion, Arcane Barrage, and as fire, I don’t even have an AoE rotation, I’m just supposed to let effects from single-target spells spread to nearby enemies?

Originally released June 2024, PC got an ‘early access’ in January 2025, closing down October 2025.

While it’s not quite as egregious as that Love Live game which announced its English version release in the exact same post as when they announced its upcoming closure, still pretty bad.

“Ranked Season will also be extended, giving players more time to hit Kyber 1 rank” is a really funny thing to put in your bullet points when the one two below it is “Online servers shut down, game no longer playable”.

That really. So many years of games being a thing and mmos being a thing and I’m very done and tired with the “they get better” angle.
They should get better. That’s the point of progressing. They should also start good to begin with and the ‘gets better’ should build from there.

I don’t know why this concept just falls off for at least one class in every mmo and rpg or rpg type game. If you can’t make it fun from the start, don’t friggin’ put it in to begin with or make it a branch option later with the ‘good’ stuff on offer from there.

I do a timewalking dungeon, get a neck.

I do two more, get a neck.

I do the final two for the weekly, go to the Timeless Isle, turn in the quest. Get a neck.

Aaaaagh

…these days?
It’s been a complete mess since 2015 when I left it…
Honestly glad I got out, but every company had so many people calling the shots without them actually understanding their playerbase…

One PM wanted to put some event items on the cash-shop.
We (as in the IT department, and actually playing said game) told them not to do this.
Players would be outraged and they wouldn’t get the aimed 50k euro sales.

Guess what happened?
They told us to do it anyway…
Player backlash on the forums was huge so they took it all out again.
Sales dropped for the following months
PM was let go.

Stuff like that has been going on for far too long.
And quite frankly, I’d love to see another crash/reboot happen at this point.

your right it has been and its fantastic to see those affected in the industry finally able to say something about it without the so-called “rockstars” stiffling them from doing so at all

Unpacked and checked all the models that came with the Elden Ring Boardgame.

Sadly there were two casualties - Tree Sentinel (helm crest snapped off - I was worried it just wasn’t there, but I did find it after taking all the interiors out the box, right at the bottom!) and Godrick (two small hands and the big axehead, frustratingly)

It’s a bit of a shame they’re cast in resin - It seems more spindly and both bendier and more brittle than the sort of plastic used in the likes of GW, Warlord and Perry Miniatures kits. There’s a lot of bits that are kinda warped and bendy, that I can only hope some hot/boiling water and gentle pressure will straighten out ok.
That being said, there’s a lot of cool models - Dragon Agheel is frickin’ huge. I just need to learn how to play and then inflict it on my local hobby club :'D

And here’s me still trying to get the Dark Souls board game 4 years later.

I don’t need the expansions ATM, just the base game, is that too much to ask for?
