I’ve recently gotten into New World: Aeternum. I’m on console so my MMORPG options are limited but I’m really enjoying it. There’s dungeons, raids, world bosses, collecting, crafting and more.

Such a shame that nothing could’ve been done to prevent this.

You’re so wrong. Did you forget about thoughts and prayers?

Gonna add a /s in case this went over anyone’s head…

Just wanted to say thank you for your service over the two platforms.

Oh no.

I forgot to say that I’m not a cop/was asking for a friend so no one DM’ed me :(

Dude just casually dropping a whole essay. What a boss.

I had no interest in Android gaming ever until I read this reply, now I’m going to try some of these.

Any recommendations for providers? Feel free to DM me if you’re not comfortable posting here.

I know you asked for as little violence as possible, but have you considered Destiny 2?

There are single, two, three and six person activities (and you can use group finders to help find a 6th and maybe make a friend on the way).

It is a first person looter shooter, but it also has a deep story as well as mechanics (eg platforming, solving puzzles, exploring areas to find collectibles). Ultimately though you do need to shoot and kill stuff. It’s not that gory however.

There’s also builds in the game, so you can spend a lot of time tweaking your builds to get it how you like it, aka theory crafting.

It’s also “free to play”, but in reality it’s “free for the first bit and then if you want access to heaps of other content you gotta spend money”.

This this this. The 13 month calender is beautiful.

I have a hug emote and a large collection of screenshots of me hugging fellow guardians, does that count as rp enough?

What part of the world are you two in? Do you like doing hard content?

It’s so good! The story is just, ugh, so good it’ll stick with me forever.

This is a professional Counter Strike player called Device.

These guys started out at small lans with CRT monitors where table space was an issue, so the players started doing stuff like this:

Path of Exile on PS5 (I don’t have access to PC/xbox).

According to the trophies, only 8.8% of players complete Part 1, with 4.4% completing Part 2. For context, Part 1 would take a new player maybe 20 hours, with Part 2 being a tiny bit shorter. Imo the most likely reason for this is new players bricking their characters. PoE is extremely complicated and if you don’t know what you’re doing you’ll build and gear your toon so wrong that you’ll get to a point where you can’t progress and you don’t have any way of fixing it.

2.3% of players reach level 80, with 0.9% reaching level 90. Context: After completing the campaign you’ll be around level 70, getting to 80 isn’t difficult, long or hard. Level 90 requires a slight investment of time and effort.

If you’ve never played PoE before these stats might seem low, but for people that have played it I’m sure it makes a lot of sense! It does to me anyway.

Service provider? “Please select your Lemmy service provider”.

After looking at the picture of the bridge in the article, it looks like it should have either been fixed or blocked by a large only moveable by heavy machinery barrier of some description.

What if someone was using a 15 year old paper map? Would they get to sue the cartographer?
What if the bridge had collapsed yesterday? Last week? As much as I don’t like Google, I don’t think they’re at fault here.

Yea it is but it’s still made in New Zealand, and personally I suspect it was a way for them to break into the Chinese market, especially as Tencent facilitate online gaming services. I don’t have any proof of that, it’s just something I’ve thought about.

And $100-$200 on foot print skins…

Yep they’re owned by Tencent, however from what I’ve read, seen and experienced in game, Tencent don’t have much, if any, of an input on the development. Yes I know that Tencent staff sit on the board of GGG.

GGG did a rough patch a few years ago, I was out of the loop and not playing then, but it seems it’s made a fine comeback.

Lastly, if I’m not giving my money to a NZ company owned by Tencent (who I agree are very not cool), I’m most likely giving it to some equally bullshit, corrupt, money grabbing AAA developer in America so what’s the difference?
