sorry hi last reblog has me thinking about how i havent played in awhile. i haven't been a fan of the recent updates they're far too 'content production'-y for me. but i just want to express i think many of the best moments in gw2 story have been when the writing is utter camp slop that the writers were clearly extremely emotionally invested in, completely regardless of their production timeframes or budget. my opinion basically is guild wars 2 is better when it's worse
#my stuff#technically id say pof had really high production value but it was also such an anomaly right#hot off the heels of HoT with both nothing and everything to lose#i admire their tactic of being like what can we do to redeem our objectively sort of mid mmo after our first xpac just bombed?#we know. kill the player character. [american psycho william dafoe forehead slap gif]#no but really i do think its a problem its trying to be more 'professional' now#its choking itself trying to do the same things that major riot and blizz releases do#where theyre really high budget polished formulaic. like a marvel movie#except gw2 doesnt even have that budget now still so what theyre effectively accomplishing is choking the soul out of it#while also making it less unique compared to every other comparable product out there#i dont think people really like mmos because theyre 'good' they like them because theyre fun and generally let you do whatever you want#i think ones that do a better job financially seem to be ones that focus foremost on how fun combat is#and secondly how much they can indulge the player in various silly whimsies. which involve money#this is often why the stories are great. and camp. because they are often shafted and therefore bad#and therefore some random gay writer can shoehorn in whatever weird eccentric horseslop they want#random stealth trans writer whos cubicle has dune figurines in it: yeah this chapter will mostly focus on the main characters emotional --#conflicts and bodily autonomy juxtaposed with the lore of our magic universe's growing entropy#execs: ok. well can that be gamified? is it toyetic?#writer: yeah sure#execs: right sounds fine we'll just ship whatever it is then#but then they start firing everyone and bringing in third parties who write based off 'market research' and not vibes or art#and thats when it gets actual bad bad

#putting this here because I simply Do Not Care#I don't want to tell vanilla players that they're experiences are wrong or not valid or simply not TRUE because#I'm 100% certain people ARE shitty about mods and mare#but also.... these people aren't worth the time or energy you give them lmao#if it wasn't mods people would find a reason to gatekeep and ignore others -- any reason.#like there is gatekeeping and grossness in every MMO and esp MMOS that don't have mods (Like WoW FFS)#is it shitty that people will only “”“RP”“” with you if you share mare codes or mod? for sure#there are people who will not RP with players of certain races or characters whose names don't align perfectly with lore#i mean fuck there are still people who won't RP with you if your english and grammar aren't PERFECT#but you probably don't want to waste your time on those “”“Rpers”“” anyway because chances are high that they#are only looking for ERP or just want to use weird animations at you or they're just sacks of shit#there is nothing wrong with only looking for ERP either btw i just wish people were more upfront about it#but if you want substance or long-term RP those people probably aren't gonna jive with you all the time anyway#idk idk the world is on fire and this just feels like such a nonissue and seeing it resurrected every 3 months is exhausting to me#The problem isn't the mods the problem is the people lmao#Unhappy people are everywhere and will always exist and will always gatekeep to make themselves feel better#which I'm sure people much wiser and more articulate than I have said but like... idk#this just doesn't seem like a Real Problem considering.... gestures to the world#Make your own community! Make your own venue! Build it yourself!!!

The more I play online games the more I understand and kind of agree with all the boomers I know refusing to let their kids play online games until they hit 17. I'm not a parent, but if I was I wouldn't want my kids interacting with people like that either.
#its so entitled#you just know these are the same people who scream and cry at retail workers and threaten to get them fired#because the store is out of something#and yeah. i would not want my kids to have unsupervised (or really any) contact with those people#until i was able to instill the values of 'be polite to people who are providing you a service'#and 'learn what kind of issues are actually worth screaming and crying and demanding compensation over' (a hint: not very many)#now theres a happy middle ground. my adopted siblings were all allowed to play mmos or whatever#as soon as they were 13#but they were simply not to be involved in the world chat. at all.#curbed 90% of issues#i heard this from my mom and that was the day that i logged onto lotro and filtered out wc for every character#and it made the world a little brighter#but that might not work for all children#my adopted siblings are all smart and dont like to misbehave for fun#so idk. it works in combination with some exercise of self control#which not all kids have#i shy away from the hardline ban#especially since basically every game is online anymore so a hardline ban would be like. only games pre-2015#which may not even run anymore when i have kids#but i also grow to understand the problem with not worrying about it at all

sometimes i forget most people don't know a ton of mostly-useless information about world of warcraft. do y'all know this game hasn't had a dye system in, like, Ever
#when an outfit is able to change colors it is an OUTLIER#color variants of clothes are just different items entirely. if a helmet comes out but you dont like any of the variants#tough luck#yin-thoughts#world of warcraft#ive been a WoW guy for basically my entire life. i know this game intimately. it's like a brother to me.#a detested deeply flawed brother that is so fucking full of problems and fuckups and ''this is good BUT-'' esque hurdles#but i do love it. it's always meant a lot to me.#if you're ever in the market for a new mmo i will always still probably recommend ffxiv or gw2 first#but unironically WoW has been doing great lately and like. if you're ever curious about it.#i cant lie to myself and say i wouldnt recommend trying it out#it is DEEPLY flawed and i cannot stress that enough. but. well. it's one of the most iconic mmos in existence for a reason alright.

my real favourite character is Nidhogg, I’m only obsessed with Estinien bc he’s a hangers-on /jokes
#saint.txt#spoilers#major spoilers#no but for real dravanian lore is SO horrific if you actually look into it#and the depths Nidhogg dove to in his crusade and the level of harm he inflicted on his own children in service to it#in a lot of ways makes him worse than the Vault.#Nidhogg dies agonizingly without any real closure and scared of the end bc he has nothing left to go on for.#he *has* to die because nobody can move on for as long as he lives and that’s a huge tragedy. despite everything he’s still a member#of a dwindling First Brood (half of which have died and were tortured at the hands of men). he’s still a father. a son. an uncle. a brother#his fanily still loves him even as they have to raise the blade over his neck. either him or Ishgard dies.#he isn’t a villain just evil for the sake of it he has real motives and one of the deepest wells of love out of any character in the game.#and killing him doesn’t even really fix anything. all of Ishgard’s problems are still there bc Nidhogg was not the cause.#sure it gives Ishgard a space to start fixing those problems but…that’s not really saying much.#idk most MMOs pretty blindly just say you killed the big bad!! everything’s cool now!! and it’s really poignant that HW didn’t#you killed a grieving brother who was never able to move on. he found no closure in death. and in the process you made a lot of things#in Ishgard exponentially worse than they already were. his death isn’t a victory.#it’s a long and awful and drawn out tragedy of a man who shouldn’t have had to die.#he did a lot of awful things. but he was still family to a lot of people.#and he was a good person once. lots of his friends and family remember who he was before the grief tore him apart.#and you can’t write Nidhogg or Estinien without considering the other bc they’re the same person in almost every way.#enjoy my propoganda Nidhogg will be your favourite character too if I have anything to say abt it

SoD, god rest its soul, prepared me for almost any and all kind of MMO bullshittery
#every complaint i see abt SSO these days 99% percent of the time im like#oh yeah lol SoD had that too but 10x worse lmao#not that people SHOULDN'T be addressing the problems with SSO or any other MMO#but like. with this new stuff rising up w/ ppl being like with 'SSO'S STORY IS SOOOOO BAD'#i've been over here with a pen and paper ready to fix plotholes since i started playing like 'ah shit. here we go again'#a while back i saw a video thumbnail of an SoD review calling it the WORST MMO EVER???? (before it sunsetted)#and me- avid SoD fan- was like#lol yeah probably#shut up wren#my art#sso#star stable online#star stable

Customizable protagonist games do so struggle with actually allowing the player character to be important in cutscenes
#girlbob.txt#listening to fair criticisms of the new d2 stuff (idrc about d2 but its got some great story/lore)#and yeah it does highlight how this problem is especially bad in the mmo/live service space

i hate that i get self conscious about my ocs/otps so often. like. i love them to bits but there’s a little part of me that doesn’t want to share art/fics/screenshots of them because like, they’re not as cool as some people’s
#there's a few things especially in a certain mmo i've been neck deep in lately that have been kinda. feeding that lately too#well a certain subsect of the community in that mmo at least. no hate to them i'm glad they're having fun#but also i'm just like mmmmm there's so many problems there that can and probably have happened

When I get depressed it’s like girl if you don’t log onto that damn mmorpg
#ffxiv will save me (<- this is how you develop an mmo addiction)#actually seriously speaking if I have a sibling with an mmo problem and i start playing one and get worried I might not know how to deal#with that#is there like. a genuine chance that it might ‘run in the family’ despite mmos not existing during my parents times

say whatever u want about the technical problems in wiz. it is one of the only games (w/ movement) ive seen that allows you to play almost exclusively one-handed. and the fact that thats been a feature for a WHILE is pretty impressive
#like it has some other accessibility problems#mainly in terms of battles-- theres no way to navigate the battle menu without sight afaik and the graphics can be kinda flashy#but between allowing for one-handed play w the dual-click to walk and being able to click on characters to speak to them#as well as having dialogue be both written text AND fully voiced instead of only one or the other#its doing pretty well in a lot of ways#like obvs theres plenty of games you can play one-handed. particularly story based rpgs or like. point and click games#but few games that involve moving ur character around can be easily navigated without needing one hand on the mouse and one on the keyboard#or needing to switch between them when walking/talking to npcs etc#sal posting#w101 fandom#then again maybe i just havent played a lot of MMOs this could be a common thing for all i know#i just think its a neat feature :]

Welp i was reading "Yuube wa otanoshimi deshita ne" really fun manga
At first i didnt have quite high hopes for it, but it really grows on you lol
Shame with it being very much a manga about a dragon quest mmo i dout there could be an anime of this, cause it could be a really cute
#txtalk#tho i dont quite know if you could get away with it by just censoring the name#maybe i mean im guessing other animes do that but they kinda dont relay on this 1 game to tell the story#tho the story isnt just about the mmo but idk#anyways is a really good read and i totally did not read all the chapters i could find#i dont have a problem i can stop reading any time i want to... which is never but still

it kind of is funny how much posturing is there by PvPers in PvP MMOs only to do stuff that actively avoids PvP once there's tangible rewards at stake
#qq posts#its a bit of a generalization but guild-based pvp seems to end up with gaming the system with alts#so they never have to pvp with others#or just form alliances to never actually lose their respective territories#i wonder how other pvp mmos fixed this since the others ive played before had these problems#and the other was mostly match based instanced pvp
