Man alive,gaming has just gone so foul in the last 5 or so years and so very quickly.I can't imagine what the gaming world will be like in another 10-15 years.
Somewhere along the lines we lost focus on gaming and now everything is about marketing and loot boxes and cash shops and early access,mobile gaming which is now 50% of the market,spyware,add-ons,botting,automation,gaming chairs,microphones,streamers in it for $$$,Esports in it for $$$,wtf happened to gaming....sigh.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Hot damn. Once again, this site is so unprofessional, they don't even spell check the titles of their articles. So sloppy. I put more editing effort into my stupid responses. Also: "This is a cloned version of the previous dungeon known as Despair." Nice to see them making such an effort.

Man, you gotta wonder if they even read what they post before throwing it up here. Just slop it out.
Agree, fuck these streamers who help hype up early access games. I miss the old days when Twitch.tv or game streaming in general wasnt a thing. At this age of gaming ppl just throw money at devs and their half assed games, throwing money at streamers for that 5 second glory and hear the streamer say "Ty for the Sub or Dono and welcome to the family/crew! much love!" Oh wait what family or crew? wow talk about phonies. We all know these streamers are only after our money.
Same devs ,same crap and still the same scam. The name doesn'T matter.

Try a MUD today at http://www.mudconnect.com/Myself I am waiting on the crafting changes that are to be coming in the next few releases.... they are revamping a lot of things so that there is a larger rng. between a GM 100 skill and a 150 skilled crafter vs the 1-2 point difference currently. They are also going to be making it so we can take apart artifacts for components to build player made artifacts using various parts which will be nice.
As to the new zones well nice, the need to get the new loot tables in for these zones before they are really worth playing in. that is something they are working on presently as listed above. Ep2 will have its own loot which can be sold or traded to all players regardless if they have access to the new adventure zones.
As to the game as a whole its still growing in numbers which is a positive, as well its not going away anytime soon. People been saying that since release that it wont be around... they say that every year which makes me laugh. which reminds me someone in this forums is to eat a hat they said ep2 would never be and the game would be done... I am pretty sure that with less than the current number of players the game will make all 5 episodes with 2-3 years between each. just on optional sub alone they are pulling in over $30k a month not including the cash/crown shop which is doing pretty good.
On that note nothing in the cash shop is pay to win as its all looks. It was once said that property is the win... but with the changes a year ago where they added a free row and village for doing the quest one can't stat that housing is P2w seeing the only difference is how much stuff you can decorate/display. Limits on storage are not an issue and if they are you can always put in a basement or dungeon to unlock practically unlimited space for storage. No granted there are quest conversational NPC's for player made stories and quests that currently do not have an option to get in game short of another player they do plan to have a basic one in game that can be crafted soon. This would be the only real advantage from my perspective.
As to Dynamic scaling that is the server side term for allowing them to pick a scene and tell it what level. ideally I think the idea at some point will be to allow the scene to scale to the lead of the party when they enter which will come in time unless they decide to keep it the current way with a list of various scaled versions. guess we will see in the long run.
As to streamer to show of early access games and the likes are the best way to see if a game is worth it imo. with out them you would be blinding buying a game you may not like. at least people watching can get an idea on what to expect. I think if people are coming to the games because of the streamers thats because people like what they see. those that don't obviously don't. either way I prefer to look at youtube reviews and streams to see before I buy anything.
well lets hope next month will have the changes I am waiting on. in the mean time will see what they patch in over the next 3 weeks
There is no improvements in crafting, quests, spells, or even maps! They still don't have a working MAP SYSTEM in this game!
