as a reminder this is what they look like



Somehow I forgot that when they decided to "sanitize" the Elin, they almost made it worse by changing the creepy string-and-postage-stamp lingerie to stuff that's barely less-sexualized but also looks even more halfassed, on top of them being creepy pedo fapbait in either version.

The ears are just one more step to being hosed up. Not enough being creepy pedo-bait, it has to be creepy furry pedo-bait.

True, but I remembered the ears thing. Though honestly I don't care that much about that, though you're right that it just exacerbates the other problems.

But then again I find Tera's sexualization of EVERYTHING extremely creepy, to be honest. The best you can say for it is it's weirdly egalitarian, since the guys look just as weirdly sexual as everything else, and the big stocky dragon girls(and guys) are hanging out of their armor just about as much as the creepy loli-furries and strange succubus-ladies. But... that's not really a good 'bright side' to have.

Mind, I believe that humans are inherently sexual creatures and sexulization of just about anything is at best, very hard to avoid (at least on some level), but Tera is kinda :barf:

EDIT: Though at least it's not like that other MMO I can't remember the name of, that had really weirdo bondage-mecha as a major feature. That made Tera look positively normal. :gonk:

There is a population of goons that rove every early access, near launch, exclusive and hardcore multiplayer videogame like a mysterius band of barbarians. Raze and pillage the server for a few months and move on to the next korean mmorpg. There hasnt been one on the scale of AA since... well Archeage. Just gotta wait for the next terrible game to come out.

i don't even care about the thong or midriff but the underboob thing irritates the heck out of me, it just looks so aggressively dumb, like it's one straight cut line

as for Tera i don't mind the sexualization of both male and female species that look like loving adults, if i have to play a near naked lady, i appreciate it if the dudes have to play slutty men too. MGSV does this pretty well between all the man rear end/Snakes skank outfit and Quiet imo

quiet owns btw

hay guys is it still ok if i post about archeage in the archeage thread archeage archeage

So the thing in Diamond Shores now is that the two factions have bases they need to level up, by crafting packs and turning them in. The packs use archeum, so you're either sinking a fuckton of your own gold and labor into them or you're stealing them from the reds on the other side of the map. A couple weeks later, most servers probably had one faction pulling ahead of the other by some margin.

Trion announced yesterday that due to a recordkeeping bug they had no choice but to bump both bases on every server up to level 3.



So glad I only made like two packs.

Remember when Unji was banning FC members for selling their kraken drops to pubbies? That was funny.

Of course I remember pouring over "secret" Wicked meeting recordings to figure out when they would betray us so lol AA does funny things to us all.

Seems the entire genre is going down the drain. Even wow is a shell of what it used to be, the only fun left is nostalgia. Gw2 has fun combat but I get bored of playing it after like 30 mins, then forget about it for a few weeks. At least it doesn't have a sub. Ff14 is pretty boring too, and there doesn't seem to be any reason to explore, tons of invis walls limiting the small zones.

MMO games have never really been great games. They're all grindy to one degree or another and use that as an excuse to string out content over long periods of time. The first time through a dungeon is pretty neat - you see new bosses, mechanics, loot, etc. After that though, it starts to get really old really fast.

For me, it also doesn't help that I'm not in high school/college any more and have actual demands on my time now instead of being able to take infinite time playing video games.

Yeah, I was in Retard Mafia for a bit, one day I kept getting spammed with raid invites by the guildmaster, I asked him in /g to stop inviting me because I only had a half hour before I had to go do something IRL so I was running some quests and half the guild jumped on my rear end "DON'T YOU KNOW THE RULES?! THE RULES THE RULES THE RULES!"

Apparently if you're in RM and are online, and the guildmaster says it's time for PvP, you have to drop whatever you're doing immediately and come PvP.


So yeah that's why I'm not in Retard Mafia anymore. gently caress that poo poo.

Aren't hobbies meant to enrich your life and give you some sort of skill, or at least an excuse to socialize? That sounds like saying watching TV is a hobby and not something you do because your fat rear end can't be bothered getting up.
