Previous Bad Game Experiences

L2 becoming fucking WoW. In both gameplay and p2wness. Though my relation to the game itself is more of a unique one cause I mainly played on private servers, so it's not like I can really complain about anything

I'm so glad that I could enjoy whatever of the game I managed to enjoy exactly because I didn't spend hours setting up all that shit. Just played the vanilla version of the game w/ 0 addons or any of that shit and it seemed way more fun that way.

To this day I know everyone in my guild hated that expansion and I just.... didn't get the hate. It seemed normal to me. But I was also way younger than my guildmates so maybe it was a generational thing.

The real lifeskilling is the npc items for silver we made along the way

The more I hear and see from Throne and Liberty the more comfortable/pleased I become.

For now, stuff with my crew in FFXI and Elite Dangerous will do, on the MMO side, Predecessor will be in Early Access soon on the MOBA side, and of course, the fighting games (basically if it's recent and not a Platform Fighter or Guilty Gear IV, I probably play it).

EDIT: Oh and of course BDO which I play precisely because it is one big 'Bad Game Experience', though I might end up stopping, hard to muster the will to even study it these days on the Console side.

Has there been some new info on TL? Quick google didn't quite reveal anything new.

Genshin. A ton of content until Alpha2 comes out and even after that.

As you know I'm much more willing to do 'deep analysis' of implications without needing to be absolutely certain about what a specific apparent mechanic or Developer statement 'definitely means'. So for me personally, from long analysis of their trailer, and coming from a background of FFXI, along with your 'Cliff's Notes' of L2, I can make certain inferences.

Also, I don't hate P2W, in case it's unclear, I hate 'uncapped P2W', so I don't have negative reactions to NCSoft's latest proposals/promises.

EDIT: Realized that I didn't really answer... we went through the latest few screenshots recently, loving the implications thereof. I think I like their visual style better than Ashes by a little bit.

That information was provided by NCSoft itself at some point.

Intention is Global release, on Consoles as well, no crossplay.

I'm personally expecting delays, bugs, and the Console versions being pushed back, as well as an 'absolute end of year' release date.

Their "global release" better be fucking global. I'm still waiting on LW to release "globally".
