My aion story is i played healer.

And after getting enough KDP to get the drop from the boss i needed the guild leader gave it to his egirlfriend.

So next raid was some huge thing i cant even remember but it was important. (I think it was in a zone where the otehr side could come and gently caress with you? so we had to do it quickly or something. Its been so long.)

So i was one of the main healers for this raid and i just didnt heal the right people and we failed hard. LOL.

guild leader was frothing at the mouth on vent and i just replied ingame with "so can i get my XXXXX (whatever the gently caress the item was) now?"

I dont think i logged in again after that.

Oh i have another aion story. Healing dungeons, picking up a pug that was rolling on poo poo he couldnt even use.
So i stopped healing him.

And as he is dead on the floor asking why the gently caress i wasnt healing him i replied " youve been ninja'ing on rolls, i cant see ninjas, so i cant heal you.


he left and we cleared the dungeon.


So,
yeah dont play it, it sucks

Of course the game sucks. It's an MMO.

Of course they have no social skills. They are an MMO player.

Something I miss about MMORPGs, is that high you got from grinding mobs and getting a really good drop that was a nice upgrade for your character. Nowadays you just do simple and really easy quests that give you what you need and then you move on. My mmo brain worms wants to play an MMO where its primarily about just grinding, and hoping for something nice to drop.

What drops are you grinding for to upgrade your character in BDO? Like at that point, MapleStory qualifies as well, even though all the relevant gear drops are from bossing

Anyone ever try Blade and Soul? It's f2p, made a character. I'm only a couple of hours in but I'm having fun. Game is gorgeous. Apparently they upgraded the graphics some time in the last couple of years. No idea what people think of this one because I've never read anything about it.

there's drops that let you upgrade your armor pieces where either you get 100 smol drops and then combine them, or you get 1 big drop you can use directly, and it's tuned so on average you get 1 full drop every 100 smol drops. so if you get unlucky you can still upgrade your item in a reasonable timeframe, but if you get lucky you'll be done quick

then i guess there's the necklace grind everyone's doing right now because they added an item that lets you upgrade it without a chance of downgrading, but that's more of a "get many many necklaces and gamble" grind than a 1 big drop grind like the above

like, black desert has a ton of issues, but if you just want to zone out and grind 10s of thousands of enemies while very slowly getting your levels and gear, you really can't do better right now lol

Or, unless things have changed, you just grind somewhere else that makes more silver because a lot of the rare drop grind spots had horribly nerfed silver income compared to ones that didn't, and then you just buy one from an idiot who sells it. Like there are always drops you can use, but for the longest time, the best solution was always to just buy the drop because the market price limit was too low as was the silver income at the spot it dropped. The only drops people actually grinded for themselves when I stopped were either things that could only be gotten for yourself at the time (infinite potion, compass, map, etc) or were just not available on the market because the only people getting them would never sell them (e.g. debo necks).

Maybe things have changed, but for the longest time, BDO was a 'just buy everything' game, and silver income was what mattered. Flames were in the game already, but they were market price capped at 'dirt cheap'

idk, the highest silver per hour i make at my AP is also where i'm working on labreska flames, and when i hit 300ap i'm gonna be grinding the poo poo out of highlands, because that's the highest silver for my class at that ap and i get the ator flames there

Going through the tutorial stuff right now, and this feels a bit clunky. I think its partly because the tutorial just wants you to play in very specific ways, and im still getting use to the controls. So I need to give it more time, and get into normal gameplay.

[edit]
Getting into the normal gameplay now, and this game is ultra beautiful looking. The world is really impressive.

They must have changed their philosophy on this then, because turos was basically always garbage when those flames were the latest thing.

Your first story is borderline acceptable but only because you were playing in a guild that uses dkp and those kinds of guilds always deserve mockery.

Your second story is not acceptable. That's just being a dick.

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.

I also hang out with racists.
rift was also notable for getting rid of their wow-style "you can't play with each other" faction split in their first expansion, and not only did it work out great and proved factions are dumb but it saved the game which was not doing well at the time and then made a strong comeback

unfortunately the game went super p2w in the second expansion and that killed it so fuckin bad, you couldn't raid if you didn't spend money on earring slots or the overpowered-on-purpose extra classes

Tried the throne & blade / blade & throne, whatever it's called. Wow, does that thing have the worst forced animations continually that I have ever seen - from "transform into travel mode for (activity)" to "open a door" to "Rappel from object to object". Everything feels janky and I think I can understand why overseas responses were they hate it. Oh and the motion blur is turned to an extreme level and is absolutely hilarious until turned off.

It also defaults to max graphics settings at the start and you can't change it for a while (part wau through the intro) which means the intro isn't just awful but doesn't run the best. Meanwhile even lowering to minimum graphics on AMD hardware doesn't help either.

Skills are like a guild wars clone which sounds nicer than it deserves.

I'm sorry, I thought this would be interesting and it's like an attempt at making an assassin's creed MMO without any effort whatsoever.

Even as a free game I'd consider Neverwinter before this.

On the one hand, knowing that an MMO specifically is not targeting anime game players makes me more interested in it. On the other hand, that’s some monumentally stupid dev behavior. On the third hand, Reign of Guilds is such a terrible, generic and lazy name that there is no way the game is good.
