What are you playing?

Found my mojo in GW2 PVP.

Dragonhunter ftw

 

[Cvrk]

Since 2015 still going strong. And if they keep the Blizzard platform, sadly we will never see other Black Ops like this ever again

Gotta give it a try at some point. I think that's their only game that I've never touched. I guess I didn't wanna risk liking it too much, and wasting hundreds of hours of my life )))
I've been an NCSoft fanatic for nearly 2 decades, played everything from Lineage II to GW with all expansions, and even beta-tested Tabula Rasa before its eventual release and quick death.

Well if you need shortcuts, I can provide Swimming in stuff I have no goddamn idea what to use it for anymore. But realistically, if you get the expansions and your focus is PVP, there isn't much of a grind to do. You'll want to get some basics at best and then you can try any build in the class in hundreds of ways.

PVE is grindy, but highly story/map driven so you won't be doing the same stuff all the time, or at least, it looks different
WvWvW, and especially being any good at it, yeah, that's a major time sink, as well as chasing Fractals and raiding. But this game is very good at chopping it all up into manageable time investments of say 15-30 minutes for most activities.

I started playing this religiously many years ago since open beta, played for a few years and have 6 classes at level cap, two of them can be considered 'mains' in terms of how they're kitted out. But in the years after it was always a great game to just step into and spend a few weeks in again. Things are always changed in such a way that there's something new to discover, so I'd say the investment is worth even if you drop it for a while afterwards.

Fun fact, I never played Guild Wars 1. But I heard similar stories of it really.

WvWvW isn't really about winning points or winning the overall battle. If you want to win in WvWvW, just join the top tier-servers and hang around: no need to do much. If you want to make a big difference in the point-count, it requires either a huge timesink (sitting inside of a capture-point, solo-defending with Trebs / Balistas), or a hugely organized, multi-national team taking shifts across all 24-hours. (American + Australian + European teams were how we did things when I played). So... yeah. You join a server with those kinds of resources, you don't build that yourself unless you for some reason don't value your time.

IMO, just run in there and enjoy WvWvW. Learn to solo-defend with Treb vs gate, Balista vs Catapult. Find a small Zerg-busting guild: you only need about 5 players with a dedicated "Soldier" builds (high HP / high Def equipment with a few Guardians healing everyone) to perpetually survive against the disorganized Zergs that roam around. Then, once you do a few Zerg-bustings yourself, you can learn to Zerg-bust-bust yourself with a high-damage lockdown / burst damage build to break those ~5 man teams up and protect the Swarm.

At least, back when I played... Solo WvWvW players can defend points with Treb vs Gate (killing the battering ram), and Ballista vs Catapult (if your opponent is a good commander, they fall back with Catapults instead). Most Zerg players are so severely disorganized, that they can't beat you 50 vs 1 in those defensive situations. But if you come up against a dedicated guild of ~5 actual competent players, you'll lose, lol.

I miss Tabula Rasa, I beta-tested it too and thought it really had some potential. Never played GW2, but just recently got back into my old GW account with NCSoft's support assistance. I was never really into MMO's, let alone fantasy-lore MMO's, but Guild Wars scratched an itch I never realized I had.

It's a while since a game completely hooked me and now I can't drag myself away from Deus Ex.

Which reminds me: gotta tell my stepdad that I want his original box version for next xmas ))))


Meanwhile, I'm completely done with Cyberpunk 2077 and will retire it on a dusty Steam shelf 'till 2022, when some patches and DLC arrive and get fully ironed out (at least I hope so).
Now I'm back to finishing Doom Eternal practice run on Ultra Violence, before attempting to even touch Ultra Nightmare.
So, wake up, Slayer. We have a planet to burn.

I'm still dipping into Cyberpunk from time to time, but it doesn't have the same sense of mission urgency and captivation that other games have, for me anyway.
On the other hand, in the Deus Ex series, as well as numerous other games, there's a sense of imperative to complete the mission and story, which keeps me coming back.
is it because of glitches that you're retiring it?

 

[silentbogo]

is it because of glitches that you're retiring it?

Not really. It's because I've spent 150 hours playing it, got my 100% achievements in Steam, and did pretty much everything there is to do in this game (including a complete extermination of an entire Arasaka Industrial Park using an overpowered dildo sword w/ 2600 base DPS). Got really bored.

 

[Splinterdog]

Oh wow, you got the tee shirt, then.

 

[SN2716057]

Trying to fly using an X-box controller in MSFS2020, so far it's possible but ugh. Gonna try VR later.

[kapone32]

I recently installed ME Andromeda on EA Play. It is definitely different than 2 but still a good Game.

I'm kinda used to it now with Project Cars at Watkins Glen. The first times got me very nauseous.

 

[wolf]

Quite a while in the making, just finished a co-op playthrough with my best mate of the entire MCC Collection on PC on Legendary difficulty, what a brilliant collection of games and what a saga. Next up is is likely a cannon run (Reach/CE/2/3/ODST/4) with the Iron skull and maybe other skulls (more whimsical ones) on.

It wasn't without some teething issues when some games first launched, but it's in a bloody good state now and for some titles we found ourselves genuinely marvelling at not only how well the gameplay etc has held up over time, but also the visuals when cranked up to modern res/fps etc standards and the subtle enhancements they've added along the way.

 

[Fent0n]

Right now: CS:GO, Apex Legends and Overwatch
but I'm planning on starting PES or FIFA 21

Had Beyond a Steel Sky in my inventory for a while. A funny, not too difficult 3rd person puzzle, and most importantly bug free game.

Gonna play the first game (Beneath a Steel Sky) too as it's free on steam.

Fooling around with rpcs3 ,this time Enslaved : Odyssey to the west


Game is fine but they should call it

Wow, I didn't even know there was a new game in the series!

No need to post the reinstall meme thing, it has a permanent place on my HDD.

my new mouse, Redragon M609, one of the best budget mouse around and it's been great so far, got in the morning and i am liking it alot, everything falls right into place, with pretty accurate sensor, good quality buttons and optical switches, only 1 complain that cable is not braided but they have to cut some corners for bringing it at such low price, got it for ₹729 (10$) on the great republic day sale where it was ₹60 off and i also love how it looks, one of best looking budget mouse as well

Your jokes aside (although she really causes so many headaches), this is a pretty fun game! I’ve played it 4 times. Somehow Steam keeps massively reducing my hours played on it but that’s another issue. It can get fairly challenging for m/k but it’s doable.

 

[metalfiber]

I had to restart Cyberpunk because i could not find my groove with the game...but i found it after the restart. I sure ain't getting to play as much lately and i'm not sure why exactly.


Cyber cowgirl?....

 

[Sybaris_Caesar]
