oooooh, I didn't realize it had the balances and stuff added in. the grind was so overpowering I was convinced it was old mechanics partly at play, which is all the more damning yeah, it was certainly less grindy than eq1. it was more forgiving when you wiped, too, which made it more enjoyable at the time. i don't think I'd have tried to make an opposing city fun run in eq1 but i did every major city on my original wow char

yeah, iirc it used the last balance patch from before the first expansion, and it had any content changes except those tied to raids or world events that weren’t phased in yet i think there might have been grind changes in some of those early patches? i don’t remember. it wasn’t anything dramatic, though, not until the first expansion. mostly it’s a ton of poo poo like “oops, rogues can technically kill you without going into combat”

it'd be pretty lol if they spun out blizzard to avoid claims of over-consolidating the industry and all that's left is hd 4k remakes of earlier blizzard games

As someone who doesn’t have a ton of time to play games anymore, game pass is fine. I get to play some new stuff, dive into some classics, and I don’t have to worry about dropping $60 on some new release that I end up regretting. So yay Microsoft

yeah when bungie got told they weren't allowed to make halos anymore they just started making a quasi-MMO FPS that they could constantly extract microtransaction bucks out of and now that's all they do hilariously the current state of Destiny 2 is so hosed that you can't play content you paid $20 for four years ago because they're putting entire campaigns and poo poo in the forever vault to be able to continue selling new poo poo

Truman Peyote posted:companies like Microsoft making "big bets on the metaverse" feels like reaching the end of something as a society yeah, people compare the situation now to the 1970s but in the 1970s you could see home computers and financialization on the horizon. now you have ape NFTs and augmented reality office parties and the serious people in charge are forced to act like it's just as promising

The fact that microsoft has bought activision just to acquire more IP's , while they let arguably their most important one, chips challenge, rot is just a shame
