you’ve always been able to use macros to sort your armory by various things, but this new feature is even better and will prevent stupid shit like the time I accidentally equipped a healer ring as dragoon and didn’t notice for a week.

what do you mean, why? shit doesn’t work. there’s no science behind it, and they had to void two years of test results because their machine was so wildly inaccurate.

no one’s going to wait, the cutscenes in those two dungeons are literally longer than the dungeons themselves and you can beat all the bosses with half a group as long as it includes at least one healer.

the first 30 levels are basically a very extended tutorial for people who’ve never played an MMO before. I quit after the free trial because it was so slow but came back a few months later, powered through the boring bits, and found that both the gameplay and plot are way more interesting past 35 or so.

S-E learned their lesson from those two dungeons and didn’t do anything like that again. the end of 3.0 split the final dungeon and the big boss fight into separate encounters and stuck the long cutscenes between the two.

it’s kinda like bologna

people with enough money to buy multiple alliances aren’t what’s ruining EVE, it’s CCP and their history of making drastic changes even after people point out the glaring flaws like how the new system is hugely tilted towards the attackers. this is why every major power is now staging out of uncapturable NPC stations.

I’ve only seen skipped numbers in built-up areas where someone bought a bunch of houses and replaced them with a big apartment building.

Twitch seems to be a decent indicator of the popularity of competitive multiplayer games, and there’s also the Steam stats showing daily current/peak players.

right now on Twitch there’s 616 people watching Battleborn and 1135 watching Overwatch replays (!)

I’m a dirty hippie so once every year or year and a half

I was in 6 of the 8 corps that existed in the year and a half between the first attempt and the foundation of Remedial’s Goonfleet corp.

this sort of thing is recorded by a dude sitting cloaked at a safe distance. this doesn’t leave much opportunity for artistic touches, especially when it’s running at <1 fps the whole time because he didn’t set every graphical option to the minimum.

CCP made two VR games. Valkyrie is free-flight, Gunjack is the turret shooter.

War Thunder has had Rift support since the DK1 days.

an adjustment slider might be good enough for the people who can get away with using generic glasses from a pharmacy, but they’re not going to be able to make something that can accommodate everyone with particularly bad vision, astigmatism, or any of the other eye problems that require an optometrist.

Haley is a bad stereotype as far as I’ve seen, but some of the other characters have depressingly realistic cutscenes once you get their heart meters up.

I think it depends on what time you go to bed and how much energy you had left.

it was, in 1983. it still happens anyway and the ACLU keeps suing municipalities for it.

3.2 is adding higher level crafted gear that will be useful for raiders. until now there’s only been raid food/pots, the glamour set that’s the same level as dungeon greens, and a ton of crafter equipment that isn’t actually required for anything.
