I said come in! posted:this MMO is surprisingly good and I should play it again. I stopped when 95 cap hit and recently got back into it and its still fun. Tons of stuff to grind and the raids have solo versions which is nice if you don't feel like dealing with that mess. FirstAidKite posted:Same, I haven't touched it in a while and I never touched the Tower or Raid or PVP stuff and never wanted to so it shouldn't take too long to get through the main quest stuff. I think the worst part might still be Empyrean just because Empyrean has a lot of areas that can feel sorta samey, like the multiple dungeons that are just variations on "You're fighting sea creature pirates on the water train" or "you're beating up the secret juggalo cartel army" I haven't leveled a character in a while but they really sped up the leveling process I think.

lol the first boss in Illusions of Gaia is painfully loving hard, but then you get to the 2nd boss and it dies in like 3 hits, and then you jump to your death only to land on a airplane. This game is wild.

He always had a response to everything for why a change or idea should never be considered. I've never cared for him. Ever since he was "Tigole" (from Tigole Bitties  ) on the WoW forums, he's had some really bad takes. Dude also really lucked into an amazing career, he was hired by Blizzard because he was in a top Everquest raiding guild. He had zero game development experience at all, and got put in charge of quest design and class balance. And then he would say things like he intentionally nerfed the hybrid classes in WOW because he thought that they were OP in EQ. Maybe it'll get better, yeah, IDK. I haven't touched it since like 2 months after release because of the aforementioned issues.

Remember when Microsoft was charging into the games business and sent a bunch of people to buy out Japanese game companies... Square Enix gave them some ridiculous highball number and their meeting with Nintendo was described as, imagine someone laughing at you for an hour

I know they're not going to go this route, I've just been big missing the experience of booting up the ol' favorite server list and playing some semi-casual rounds and shooting the poo poo. I was playing battlefield 4 again for this for a little bit, which is the last good battlefield game I think.

Blizzard has been bleeding employees consistently since Activision took over, now they don't have much creative freedom so its probably pretty frustrating to work there if you have other options at smaller studios.

Valve and Blizzard team up to sell you a crate that could have Team Fortress 3, Overwatch 2, or a crudely drawn jpeg of a fish. I'm joking obviously. Valve would never make a game.

Zaphod42 posted:Maybe it'll get better, yeah, IDK. I'm not sure if Overwatch can really be improved much beyond moving faster on getting heroes into a balanced, playable state. The things that people hated about it when I played - the spammy nature of combat, the rigid focus on team positioning and slow advances through levels, the depriority on twitch aiming over cooldown usage - are all still gonna be there, and you can't get rid of them without completely altering the game's identity. I think Blizzard did a disservice to themselves trying to market Overwatch as a high-skill FPS when it is, in reality, a first-person MOBA. GOATS was kinda the distillation of this reality, and the fact that they had to rigidly enforce roles solely to break it speaks for itself.

As others have said I really wish somebody would just make TF3 already. grieving for Gandalf posted:is "first-person MOBA" and "high-skill FPS" completely incompatible? also I don't give a gently caress about pro league OW but role queue is probably the best thing that happened to the game, you can't pick a role without being committed to it They're not incompatible, but I think by "high-skill FPS" they meant more like "rocket arena" or "class shooter" which OW isn't. Its definitely more MOBA and its infinitely more toxic and frustrating as a result, as much as it also is a competitive spectator darling for the same reason. Blizzard made the same mistake with Starcraft 2 where they focused way too much on the eSports angle, to the detriment of the casual experience.

What's with these blow-up swimming pools in the IRL category on Twitch?! I suppose there aren't any fail videos yet where the load of over half a cubic meter water on a small surface broke some floor joists?

Well, there's a weird rules arm race going on. Twitch decided to rule that you have to wear "appropriate" clothing to try to keep things from getting too lewd, but somebody found a loophole where you're allowed to stream in a swimsuit if you're swimming. So that lead to everybody getting small hottubs or inflatable pools so they can keep doing what they're doing.

I find the whole idea curious as hell, because as an European I have been "taught" via TV that a lot of housing in the US is made of wood, and with what bedrooms typically being on the second floor, putting like an estimated 1000-1200lb of water on a small spot on a wooden floor seems "interesting". Well, at least some of these streamers ought to live in a wooden house, anyway. Over here, where everything is thick rear end concrete, we're supposed to check with an architect for load bearing and poo poo, if we want a water bed.

I said come in! posted:Pretty much, it has an ultra toxic and openly racist community that Blizzard protects, its unbalanced, long queue times, and Blizzards idea of what is competitive or fun is really bad. Competitive and fun are opposing forces and at launch they got super lucky to kind of have this perfect storm of a good time. You could do silly stuff, decide to all be freezy girls, or gorillas and hope around and whatever on the fly. There were obviously players and teams that were stronger, compositions that worked better, but the people caring enough and trying that hard seemed to quickly push themselves into a nether realm of other people too good to have fun around. I'm sure a lot of it is just the nature of it being brand-new with a shitload of new players all at once and there's nothing they can really do with updates and changes to ever get that again. Plus they compartmentalized every way to play into it's own little queue or whatever and every things much more rigid and micromanaged. For me, they patch where even quickplay no longer had hero-dupes was the end. At launch Overwatch was probably the most fun I can imagine having in a PvP FPS game. I think I played a decent amount of hours and matches with friends in that time to have justified it's cost and it's good actually for things like that to end or you just quit. Unless Overwatch 2 prominently features a new hero that is the child of a Taiwanese industrial magnate and Uyghur doctor piloting a mech that looks like a yellow bear and and all of their taunts criticize the practice of using mtx and gambling to drive sales -- I can't buy it.

I think the real appeal of Overwatch was that it was an FPS where you didn't have to be the sweatiest guy on earth to enjoy like CS:GO, and it wasn't just another dudebro military shooter. They looked at the League vs Dota comparison and realized that people love and will shell out money for silly cowboy outfits and kpop skins, so why not just bypass the pretense of being serious entirely and just make the game about kpop and cowboys? Plus, of course, Blizzard hadn't yet completely blown all their public goodwill.
