I never had a problem with the concept of Arena back in the day, I had more issues with crossrealm being a thing. I called it back then that it'd kill of communities and I didn't like the arena having a separate system from the honour system. I didn't think Arena was as fun as BG's either so that sucked, but I still did it to a pretty high rank. I always prefered 5v5 which basically noone liked. Almost disliked it as much as mentioned dailies/weeklies -.- Selling cosmetics/expansions is one thing, but blatant pay to win is something people should work themselves up against. Peoples lack of engagement against the practice is why we are were we are afterall.

From what I remember they spoke about the charts and not that all old warp routes being gone

Definetly before, Koronus Expanse is in Segmentum Obscurus which definetly has a right to that name now that Cicatrix Maledictum had explosive diarrhea, and they still navigate by the Astronomican. Would be hard to do afterwards since the Eye of Terror is very near right between Koronus Expanse and Terra. Edit; In the top left of the above the red zone you see the Halo Stars, just south east of that you will see Footfall and port Wander

Timesavers are quite firmly in the pay to win pocket. If two people people have 10 hours each to play, and one player can pay for a timesaver that saves him 2 hours doing boring tedious stuff like grinding for resources for raids they will have an advantage over the player that can't pay his way out of it in that he can spend that time raiding for more gear. Not to mention the fact that once games start taking money for "timesavers" you run into situations like some Assassins Creed that was tedious as all hell if you didn't pay for xp boosters. Not the impressions I've had of him, but ok Easy or not, it's still an advantage that people with money spent has over those without money, to the point it'd feel insurmountable. And PvP carries are fairly common too I reckon, me and some friends used to carry other friends in PvP. People tend to learn relatively fast on how to play. Or they'll just buy a bot. WotLK 2200+ arenas were kinda nuts from what I recall.

There are limits to my cruelty towards food, but in this case it'll also be limited since it's mostly breadsticks, taralli, prosciutto, olives, olive oil, pasta that I don't want to hobble downstairs to check the name of, and some tomato sauce

I got a delivery of christmas goodies from the union for being on long time medical leave. Some pretty tasty italian delicacies.

In endgame you can literally buy gear, there are guilds willing to take you through raids for wow tokens. I don't feel like combing through actman or asmongolds 1h+ videos for the tweet right now, but even Blizzard staff were doing it with their guilds. Is it not pay to win If I tomorrow reactivate my account, boost my character and use wow-tokens to surpass your item level in a week or two? Does it even come close to being fair and right to you and the time (I assume ) and effort you put into the game? If we were to fight in an open world or arena pvp situation and inevitably win, is that satisfactory outcome for you? Edit; Found an decent article

The whole point of escapism is to get away from being constructive, I have enough of that. I do generally ignore games like that, but when you start to play the games way before they introduce pay to win mechanics you are still effected. For instance, I started WoW in 2005 and didn't entirely stop until they started to dip into pay to win with Cataclysm in iirc 2010 with that store mount /spit. Planetside 2 I was a beta tester for, and it didn't become clearly apparent until release how pay to win it was. I think I lasted two evenings or something before I lost it.

Except it's exploitative as Hawke pointed out, and when it effects everyone else having their enjoyment ruined because someone decided to pay 2 games worth of money for an advantage it's not much fun. People buying gold in WoW used to be annoying but fairly uncommon, but now Blizzard has monetized that aswell, why spend weeks grinding gold for something when you can just chuck Bobby 25$? I remember how much fun it was in Planetside 2 at release when people immediately bought flyers weeks before tanks could grind out AA-guns effectively making them completely defenceless sitting ducks if that was your prefered playstyle, preventing them from getting even a chance at grinding for defences. So no, it's ****ing bad. Games are escapism, to have the rich people of the world get their advantages taken into escapism is ****ing awful.

I'd say that it's more like; they're sheep being fleeced

In Swedish Ge mig smisk pappa Or more grammatically correct Smiska mig pappa/pappa smiska mig Not much better

It's pay to win though, especially if they were to implement looting companions or "early access" to certain weapons/items Not a lick surprised though, they've been milking their customers for years and gamers deserve this for buying the **** from the start, gamers deserve the giant pecker heading for their rectum.

Didn't bother checking the profile, sounded like a womans name to me

Yeah, it's been pretty dang quiet, only thing I've heard lately was that Starfield devs has been defending the game against meanie steam reviewers.

That pcg reviewer wanted an wh40k rpg made by Bioware, I'd say that calls her perspective into question, and probably should bar her from procreation aswell.

For what it's worth, practically every update Bethesda releases breaks the script extenders as far as I know. So it's more like business as usual. I'm utterly unsurprised paid mods are back, but mildly shocked that it'd be with Skyrim and not Starfield. Must not be very many playing that ****.

It did hit differently as someone that has spent most of the past 20 years playing pnp rpgs with plenty of elves in the group.

I had a bit more variety The best part was that I got a recommendation from Spotify for where I should move to find people with similar tastes as me. I need to move to Jyväskylä in Finland. That said, I didn't need to know that I had listened to Sabaton Attack of the Dead Men 171 times, or that I'm in the top 0.5% of Beast in Black listeners

Hell yeah, Judas Priest still kicks ass, real nice one imo

One of those plastic boots, kinda neat, can be removed so one can shower and such. Or in my case, sauna.

Thought I had sprained my ankle/foot earlier this month, and then again a week after. I hadn't noticed the swelling going down, so I stayed home from work last week and went to get a checkup and a doctors certificate today. Turns out I've been walking about with a broken foot for 3 weeks...

This man likes to live dangerously

Reading the daily vehicle inspection sheets that we fill out is like something out of funny youtube "customer states" videos. "Battery is bad, tractor is hard to start" (After a weekend) Next shift when I perform my inspection "Cabin light was left on" "Rear trailer hitch refuses to work properly" Me; "Cut-off valve for rear hitch controls opened all the way, rear hitch has been smashed repeatedly and now needs replacing." "Cigarette lighter socket doesn't work" "Disconnected cabin heater from cigarette lighter socket and changed the burnt out fuse"

Looks like we're going to get another eruption on Iceland, this time near the town of Grindavik, or maybe the Blue Lagoon There's plenty of webcams up aswell
