@DanmakuGrazer I like the way how Assassin's Creed: Origins does it. You can buy Drachme (gold), resources and ability points, and weapons, but they only get you so far. For example, buying resources doesn't give you carbon crystals, which are needed for the highest tiers of personal equipment upgrades, and weapons don't level with you, with that legendary you buy either needs to be upgraded for gold or will get replaced with a random other weapon a zone or 2 later
Shucks, a board game I backed on Kickstarter has a delivery ETA of January, meaning I probably won't be able to play it with the family over Christmas.
@DanmakuGrazer I personally love it. Really good game. I just regret that I gave in to the microtransactions so early. I'm only level 16 or so, but I already have pretty much every upgradeable slot up to one or two levels below max. On the flip side, it turned me into the powerhouse archetype I love to play in games
@Yuuki That's actually one of the (multiple) reasons why my country has really high wages. But I guess any further discussion to this should go to TIF.
And I don't say that because I want to stifle the discussion. I say that because I want to join in but don't want to contribute to the mixing of Bridge and TIF
Based on something I've read yesterday somewhere in Dutch it sounded like "if it gives you an in-game advantage it's gambling, and thus needs to be regulated like gambling, or be gone from the market really hard.
The big problem for EA in Belgium is that gambling is heavily regulated here, especially online. Companies need a license, and there is a national blacklist of problem gamblers which any company providing a gambling service or product needs to refuse access to
so if the gambling commission decides the lootbox system is gambling, EA needs a license, AND they need a way to refuse access for problem gamblers
If Belgium decides it's gambling: would PEGI have to adjust their rating (for most of Europe) or would it just be banned in Belgium withut said licence?
Honestly, considering what's going on in the industry right now, I've decided to boycott the companies who have announced microtransactions in all their future games. I've uninstalled Origin and all games in other clients from either publisher
which I don't take lightly, considering one of them is Civ 6, and I only just reinstalled Star Wars TOR
I don't really consider them microtransactions. They're more like DLC with a physical component IMHO, given that they provide extra content for their games
Since the character limit for tags was increased to 35 a few months ago, there are a few Assassin’s Creed tags which haven’t been renamed yet.
ac3-liberation -> assassins-creed-3-liberation
ac4-kenways-fleet -> assassins-creed-4-kenways-fleet
ac-brotherhood -> assassins-creed-brotherhood

I'm making a map based on elytra PvP and I wanted unique enchants so that flying PvP would be more meaningful and exciting(Consider leaving ideas please. I'll credit you). I got stuck on how to do the enchants.
So I know how you can put lore on items as a way of storing information and indicatin...
@Lazers2.0 switch to the snapshots? Even though commands are somewhat broken in the snapshots right now, I think this is going to be my answer for basically every minecraft-commands question.
@Jutschge One thing that makes it different is that A) everything that WoW sells as microtransactions is unique and can't be gotten any other way and B) all of them are cosmetic. Well, all of them besides the WoW token, but that was mainly added to curb the gold selling epidemic
@Jutschge WoW expressly is designed to have most of the content at max level. The level boost is added as a way for players who haven't played in a long time or who don't want to level yet another character to be able to skip past most of the boring stuff. Also, it's paying like 60 USD to skip maybe 2-3 days of leveling
I feel that in skipping things like that that does matter
It changes it from "You can pay us to skip playing our game" to "You can pay us to skip playing our game so you can play with other people that are already there"
@Jutschge yeah, but you don't spend that in one go. BF2 MTXs are smaller, so you don't notice that you spend 2K on a game
if I look at everything which I spent on WoW so far from tokens, transfers and a couple of store items, that's probably like 2-300 EUR. meanwhile, I spent the same amount on the game and all expansion, and a multiple of that on the sub
As with many command updates, things are simultaneously more complex and less complex, easier and harder. On average for this update, things are more structured, more complex, but easier.
Also, WoW expansions are such that you pay the single price and get every single thing from that expansion cycle, and not that you buy the expansion and then need to spend another wad on each patch
Like right now I can't raid mythic with my alts because I just switched to another guild on another server and I don't wanna transfer my other 10 alts for 25 CHF each
Also maybe I'm required to purchase a race change to a goblin for KJ just for the rocket jump. (although I hope I don't have to). These things add up quickly
the dungeon guide just explains abilities, they also explain the timings of each ability, anything which is predictable about when or how an ability occurs and their recommendation for dealing with that ability
like, get a holy paladin to deal with the healer adds
We're not really progressing though tbh. The guild downed him. I joined for antorus but I'll probably also heal KJ (which I haven't seen yet) the next 2 weeks
It's more like "they already downed him and I don't wanna fuck up"
If they've already downed him, then that's less stress for you. Listen to your assignments, focus on your own tasks and watch a kill vid so you know when to use certain mechanics
like, know when to use rapture, when to use Light's Wrath, etc
Jack's fight is good for healers, but Fatboss also explains the mechanics of the fight and individual responsibilities. A good healer watches both of them
Whenever I load into a game, I constantly have a problem where the buildings around me are not loading in probably. Example here.
As seen at the end of the video, my disk usage is high and constantly at %99-100.
Here are my computer specs:

I'm fairly new to KSP and it took me a long time to finally figure out how to play the damn game because without science you can't get better rockets and without better rockets you can't get into space to get science. However I finally figured out all about EVA travel from the launch pad and got ...
@Lazers2.0 Well, it is possible to get into space with the base parts in a vanilla install, but that isn't what you're talking about, so I'll just leave this comment here and not on your question.
I recently finished AC revelations and started playing AC3. Although the graphics and combat are better, I am not really enjoying the game. I am 30% into the game and I have already travelled 20-30 times to frontier. The path is boring and just "gameless" .
Why is there a need to add such long i...
also the thing has nothing about beta or alpha software. it's literally on a thread about people wanting to downgrade from ff57 to ff56 due to extension incompatibilities.
@DanmakuGrazer I posted private conversations on a public site. That wasn't so great, but she tweeted "I GOT HIGHEST GRADES AND EVERYONE HATES ME FOR IT" and I replied with a PM of her calling people got lower grades "loser retards", talked about how I'd hate her too if she called me that, how I like her as a friend but how I don't support her acts, and how I don't usually post PMs publicly but I did it bc she sent the link and therefore expected a reaction and I reacted.
and well
she knows stuff I'm open about in places like bridge and discord but very rarely talk about in turkish cycles due to risk of someone spreading the word around and pmuch making my life hell.
and well, I guess I'll see if she will make my life hell.
