Playing dragons dogma online right now with a few friends

Even made a torrent to get the game client over to them via a not vpn

But you have to launch the game with a vpn, select your character, and then you can kill the vpn no longer requiring it.

NordVPN is a lowtax sponsored thing but I still have mudfish, a lovely korean one that I put 5 bucks into about 8 years ago and haven't run out of money yet.

Do you feel like it's worth the trouble to get it set up?

I watched some videos and it looks like a lot of fun.

Of All Time, I don’t think so.

I think Fortnite is the most well known game of the last five years in the US.

Athletes play Fortnite and do the in game dance emotes as celebrations. Drake played the game with the top Fortnite streamer. They do news stories about it on Today and GMA. It has huge mainstream popularity.

They profited 3 billion last year.

The pre-alpha they released is hilarious.

Anyone want to have some fun speculating what it could be? I'll go bold and say Everquest so I can quote this post in 10 years.

If we all could put our cynicism aside for a day, what would you like out of Everquest 3?

Here is a new MMO. It's Animal Crossing/Stardew Valley in a BOTW style open world with other players.

someone compiled a bunch of dev talk from the Palia discord, in case anyone wants their expectations tempered

Instancing everything is what I figured. I get why they’re doing that, but it’s going to make it seem so much less like a “world”.

I keep seeing people say "Man Ashes of Creation has a lot of potential" but every stream I see is people wandering around aimlessly grinding mobs


What is the game actually supposed to be? Am I missing something or are these people desperately trying to justify supporting yet another poo poo-rear end kickstarter MMO

It’s being sold as an MMO where your actions matter. When you do quests, gather resources and kill mobs it affects the city and area around you through their “node system”. This could mean access to new dungeons, teleportation and airships, better gear and merchants, skills and spells, combat and class training, etc. I saw some of this stuff on Asmongold’s stream.

The other big selling points are a heavily customizable class system (you select a primary and secondary archetype, 64 total combinations and skill trees) and PvP with big siege battles. The class system in the alpha is just three classes with some skill tree stuff, so we haven’t seen that fleshed out yet. And I think some of the PvP is in place? I haven’t seen it yet though.

Here's another upcoming MMO I knew nothing about until about two days ago: https://corepunk.com/en/ Seems strange that their biggest marketing point is that the game has fog of war.

I made a thread for it about a year ago.

There just hasn’t been anything to say about it.

Also, the beta was just delayed again.

EverCraft Online is doing another limited alpha.



if you aren't familiar with the game, it's basically "EQ but voxel based because it's more realistic that we actually release one day since it's easier to make art assets that way"

I just stopped playing WoW:SOD because of guild drama and time requirements to keep up with raiding. I'm almost 40 and the thought of being in discord with people arguing about loot makes me want to jump out a window.

I'm back to FF14 where I can log in and play however much I want with a small group of friends. It feels nice.
