So I did maybe a dozen during a meeting today (because why not, meetings are useless and I barely listen anyway) and holy crap it's so mind-numbing I have no idea how anyone could devote any significant amount of time to doing that. Sure it gives free loot, but who cares, it's not fun. I mean it's essentially a free one armed bandit. Even animals can fall for that poo poo.

I just find it funny people are spending hours to grind for things you’ll be replacing within 30 minutes of launch when you level up to world tier 6.

I don't think you can take a level 9 gun to level 50 but even if it's upgradable only like 5-10 levels max you can dismantle it afterwards and put its mods on other guns and everything demo players are dismantling now is saving its mods for use in the full game Roman fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Mar 5, 2021 |

That 30 minute video about the endgame stuff actually has me considering picking this up at launch now, assuming I can get my brother on board to play with me. The demo starts out extremely weak, but by the time I got to the end with my Pyro I wanted to play more. The crafting and modding stuff looks really cool, and the one endgame map they showed also looked really good.

I'm hopefully optimistic of the future here just because of the detail and reasoning they laid out in the patch notes. Seems like the devs aren't doing stupid Anthem-ish changes but more reasonable smart things.

So after deciding that farming for gear was stupid, but now knowing I could go back and fight Gauss (I didn't realize that before, everything on the way to him was empty so figured he was gone also). I jumped in the game and opened the chest on the way, and out popped a legendary. Lol.. Too bad this is on my Pyromancer instead of the actual sniper/ranged guy, it wrecks stuff.

I like that they acknowledge that the poor captain is getting wrecked. Good patch, even if I'm a little  about stuff being server-side. There's usually some bullshit component in these games that CE/mods/editors/whatever let you bypass and not having that makes it a little too servicey for me. Of course their loot system doesn't sound like that's going to be an issue, but devs just can't resist that stuff.Also, hold the phone... since when do repeat quests give rewards? I've only ever gotten the reward popup on first completion. Everything else was a chest, and if chests don't drop legendaries then wat?

BARONS CYBER SKULL posted:there's an option on the character screen to go back in the quest progression Yeah, but when I do the quest (and turn it in) again I don't get the three item selection. I thought this was a normal thing to keep you from farming those side missions. I'm not stressed about the chest thing, but I've never had a drop from Gauss or that other guy you execute in a cutscene. There's just a chest there, which seems to conflict with the "chests don't drop legendaries" thing.

My understanding is you still get a quest reward, it just goes into your inventory without any notification. I’ve cleared my inventory, turned in a quest and then had a new blue item the few repeats I tried. Sounds like with the patch that item will now have a chance to be a legendary if I read the correctly.

After tomorrow it might just happen to be a legendary. It really should have better indication that you got something, though.

This game was not at all on my radar until this beta. In the modern age of paid beta testing through early access it really speaks volumes about what the developers think of their product that they're willing to do it. And you know what? It's actually pretty fun! It's not like, good, but I can teleport around or slow down time or set dudes on fire and it's a pretty good time!

It's not a beta, it's a demo. The final game is coming out in less than a month. This isn't "the game is kind of finished but we're still tweaking and testing", this is what you'll get with the full version.

I tried the demo on a whim and being able to ignore cover and just cause mayhem teleporting around and turning people to skeletons is more fun than it has any right to be. Also props for whomever called a revolver space cowboy

Hot take: Outriders as a demo is still a better game than Avengers as a whole. It’s Avengers that is actually the “new Anthem”.

I know you saw me bitching in discord but I honestly agree. I still can’t believe that I logged into Avengers last night with bar-on-the-floor low expectations and still managed to come away disappointed and just uninstalled again. Hell I’d say Anthem was a better game than Avengers at this point. I at least got 40 hours out of Anthem and had fun (most of the time). I can’t even say that about Avengers.

I still can't get into multiplayer quickly. Just logged out after waiting about three minutes to find a match. I popped into one almost right away earlier today and it was fun.

ZombyDog posted:I don't know if it's simply more people trying out the demo, but the past couple of evenings I haven't had to wait ages for the matchmaker to find me a game - it's definitely more fun when you've got at least another person playing - more badguys, more opportunities to combo stuff and more loot drops. One very underrated thing about this game is that when there are more people the enemies don't get super spongy, they just add more dudes. Playing with 3 people and teleporting into a mob of 25 guys is hilarious and awesome.

It tends to not make the game that much harder but makes it way more fun... which is like anathema to service games.
