Psycho Patrol R, the new game from the Cruelty Squad guy, just came out as early access today. I fell out of bounds 15 minutes into my session, but looks good otherwise so far. Also got my first Blackwing Lair raid lined up later today on wow anniversary, YoshiP's class simplifications can't catch me there.

Playing TF2 and malding over 4 spies and snipers on my team.

I’ve had no idea that since I stopped playing in early January the game’s still been on a slow decline with BLM getting the mouthbreather-catering nerf for a latest change.

Honestly, having been taking a breather from this game’s self-imposed grinding on hunts, gathering/crafting and weekly savage stuff has made me appreciate older retro games a lot more.

Maybe I’ll come back and renew my sub in the future, but the rather predictable content releases and the insufferable community isn’t enticing me much. Hoping that new gathering/crafting exploration thing will be something entertaining for you lot at least if you’re into it.
 
hello everybody, I'm a BLM main.

I just wanted to say how happy I am that the job I've enjoyed most across the 14 years I've been playing the game is being ground into slop for Balmung ERPers and retards who fail the breakfast question.

I agree with the devs that a job whose difficulty is based on friction with movement mechanics cannot continue to exist, since the only way to make raid encounters difficult is to continue turning them into increasingly more spastic DDR.

I am very excited for the servers to come online tomorrow so I can enjoy my insipid lecture on Culture Respecting while the people who play BLM for two weeks every expansion and can't clear anything harder than an expert dungeon explain to me that the changes are Good, Actually because other people who are not them can theoretically enjoy it more easily now.

you'll find me sobbing in front of a target dummy as all the experience and technique and muscle memory I've accrued over the years have become instantly obsolete in one single stroke.

have a great day, everyone. namaste.

I was just getting used to having to manage the AF/UI/TH timers, too
 
THEY DIDN'T CHANGE THE BROKEN BLM AOE ROTATION

ONE YEAR AND A COMPLETE REWORK OF THE FUCKING CLASS AND IT'S STILL A LOSS TO USE HIGH FIRE/BLIZZARD. YOU STILL OPTIMIALLY TRANSPOSE IN ORDER TO SKIP THESE TWO BUTTONS

What a fucking joke. I'm gonna log in, experience the MSQ slop, record some moments from the book of when the game wasn't shit, then seppuku. These devs are completely incompetent and completely complacent - the ERP clique will keep them afloat.

I've been playing the System Shock remake since it was on sale and it's like. Damn, that's right, games are supposed to be fun when you play them. Systems are supposed to be engaging and interesting and make you make tradeoffs. What the hell is 14?

Welp, unfortunately I wasn't able to clear FRU in time for the maintenance window despite being consistent in the entire fight and having multiple sub-1% enrages. PF is just filled with prog-liars.

For example, yesterday we had a DRK join the party we advertised as <5% enrage only (so you couldn't join if you hadn't at least hit a 5% enrage). The guy had his Tomestone hidden but we figured we'd give him a shot, it's always sus when people hide their Tomestone but it's not immediately an issue. The DRK then proceeded to fuck up the easiest position during Crystallize Time, started arguing with one of the others then fled as soon as people pointed out he clearly hadn't seen enrage.

For reference, during CT he had Blue/Dark Eruption and got clipped by the dragon head explosion. For anyone who hasn't done FRU I'll keep it simple, but basically, he needs to stand right where the M2 is in this diagram, slightly offset from the three-pointed star since the H2 player is going to pop a dragon head as it goes by and will have their ice debuff detonate, creating a pretty large AOE.

This is actually the easiest role by far. The other blue debuff players in the south-west need to position themselves precisely to be knocked across the arena, and every player with a red wyrmclaw debuff needs to deal with popping the dragon heads as they come around (those wyrmheads have a notoriously janky hitbox too, it's actually in front of the model and it means you need to position very precisely or you'll literally walk through it). Dark Eruption just needs to find their safe spot, and they're basically done with the first half of the mechanic, and the arena perfectly matches up with the mechanics you need to resolve. So you literally just need to look at this line on the floor and hug it as tightly as you can without going over it.
Instead, this motherfucker was right in front of the three-pointed star. So he immediately got clipped by the dragonhead cleanse and wiped the entire raid when he had the easiest possible job.

Beating the fuck out of my dick for 18 hours.

For real though, I'll probably be trying to get through Xenoblade Chronicles X some more. I've been unable to play that game as much as I want because of being stuck in ultimate PF hell. I haven't even gotten a Skell yet or unlocked Overdrive.

I really don't get why people prog lie if they aren't going to back it up with properly configured addons.
 
At some point I accidentally hid this thread from myself and I’m too stupid to know how to fix it. I won the sphene wings just in time for the patch. I plan to clean the apartment instead of playing the game today.
