Pet peeves: The return (Part 2)

As much as I want to, I am not rich enough to toss out 400k per dye.

Same here.

or rather, i have more important things to spend gil on.

FFXIV peeve: retainer names need to be globally unique. Two characters can’t have retainers with the same name. It feels like a weird limitation, and I wonder if it’s there for technical rather than logical reasons.

It’s there because retainers sell things on the auction house (market board) for you, rather than you putting things up directly. They show as being sold by the retainer, to other players.

It could get confusing if retainers with the same name appeared. For example, you could be on retainer A, see things listed that you are selling via retainer B, but you’re not sure how many of those items that you are selling because others have retainers with the same name as B.

They took down the old GTA games from the stores to make room for the ‘remastered’ versions, if that ‘helps’ :smiley:

imagine looking at the ‘’’’‘success’’’’’ of warcraft 3: refunded and thinking you should top that

Rockstar : Let’s take this beloved franchise from the past and remake it but as cheaply as possible. Let’s not bother with licensing the musics, recreating the proper atmosphere and just to be sure, let’s also destroy mods and addons through legal means made by the very passionated fan we’re trying to pander to and make the previous “inferior” versions of our game unavailable. Surely this is bond to bring nothing but profit.

Executives : Genius. Let’s do this.

Can only Vicarious Visions do decent remasters nowadays?

I just realised the AoE forums (using Discourse like Blizzard forums do apparently?) have a DM function, alongside with forum profiles.

Why is that not a thing, especially when replying to a person three times prompts us with the DM reminder??!!

Because these days, everything is bundled onto an always online platform and reasserting a licensce necessitates that you guarantee not getting into legal trouble since the product that used to be sold to individuals and modded freely is now a rented service like everything else with terms and conditions and allowing the renters (not calling them customers anymore) to freely change the product associates whatever excesses they engage in with your brand since you’re hosting the service.

Tee ell dee arr; capitalism aside, they dodge another hot coffee scandal.

Have a mod for em.
But Sudenburg is a stinky Empire group that has nothing. NOTHING!

I do need to experiment with mods.

there was a mod that gave witch elves clothes finally so I felt less embarrassed about fielding them/hellebron but it’s out of date :C

They certainly increase the argument for Piracy.

Who would win? 38 years old Jimmy in his mom’s basement and too much time on his hands VS Big company seeking to have all of the money at all cost.

What are you, afraid of grandma in a bikini???

It’s a pity that they all gave them the same Dreadlord armour, but I suppose there isn’t much variety to loot from there.

there is nothing more Divorced than having an army of bikini ladies and as someone who is neither divorced nor a man they just make me feel embarrassed

The occasional unit being all-in on Blood Lust is fine, but when it’s only the women who are skimpy and only the men who are fully armoured and masked it feels super skeevy

Eventually, Jimmy can only participate in the economy/game if he signs up to the strictly regulated service like some biblical mark of the beast and modding tools are considered infringement, the only approved mods owned by the company and rented back to Jimmy, revoked in a random update when incompatible.

Dreadlords (ladies?) are fully armored and masked! :nerd_face:

Witch Elves are cool and the Sisters of Slaughter even moreso, what the stuff nailed into the skin of their backs

I did forget about Dreadladies tbf

My bugbear mostly is aimed at the legendary lord options - like, I get it I know the lore and why both ladies are Like That, but it looks like one of those memes about sexual dimorphism

just give me some lady Dreadspears and/or Malewives of Khaine that’s all I ask

Out of date doesn’t always matter.
Get the Mixu LL lords, they’re pretty good.

The old kit had these! Unfortunately the 8th edition one that the WHTW models are based on doesn’t

they’re called Assassins ackchually :nerd_face: :nerd_face:
