At its core? A survival game. It’s just that many of the survival aspects got forgotten as more QoL things were added that essentially trivialized the process.

To be fair, monster hunter will also go “lol, lmao” and make dlc thats literally a whole game in an of itself and chuck in TUs for free. That said, I still violently cry out into the void hoping they give me back gammoth.

I rise from my crypt once more to speak on this! As someone who worked for many big name brand retail stores, yes, yes they do. So much so that depending on where you live (read: the ghetto) they’ll literally break down doors and get into fist fights for the right to violently throw their money at terrified cashiers and slap on what amounts to ugly as sin clothing/shoes with a logo on it. Were I interested in working with the living rather than the recently deceased I’d be tempted to do a case study on it.

Chiming in here, I do it because I enjoy keeping up with the news on the behalf of friends who play ASA but for some reason have refused to look either here or on twitter for updates. Also because I may or may not enjoy stirring the pot with a cheeky comment here and there.

ESL stands for English Second Language. Essentially, English is not your primary spoken tongue

Gonna pop out of the catacombs for my once in a blue moon post to say I think the guy meant that the creature was made as if the devs were using their feet to design and rig it, I.e. a bug riddled mess. There appears to be an ESL factor at play here. I’m sure you were just being cheeky but on the off chance you weren’t there ya go.

Same reason Nike is happy selling crap quality gaudy shoes for $200+ smackers: people will still give them money.

When the design was initially unveiled it looked as though they’d just be using whatever skeleton rig they had for the terror bird. Either is plausible. Still a shame it beat out of maevia but hey, not like I’ll ever get to play with either creature.

Hey guess what? The power of troodons with no torch.

Why would anyone want some goofy club that they’ll likely have to pay for when they can, you know, build their own on a server? Hell, back when I was running a PvE cluster we did exactly that. oh wait, guess they can’t do that on officials what with you guys never fixing the pillaring issue.

Throwing my hat in the ring here, partially because I feel what I’ll say is pertinent and partially because I’m a jackass who wants to watch sparks fly a little longer. Pride as a concept is fine, the issue that arises is those that use it as a shield against criticism. In the case of companies it’s them using it to parade around how inclusive they are while haranguing those that don’t share their views. With the more extreme individuals I get not wanting to associate with them, but even the people that want to leave it at not wanting any identity politics from either camp in their hobbies are labeled as evil (yes yes I know, fence sitting is compliance but somehow magically only for the bad and yadda yadda). There’s also them campaigning for the good fight as a means of distracting the consumer from their more anti-consumer business practices or general incompetence. Can’t call the bad company or its practices bad because they put up the [insert group here] flag. Moving on from companies you’ve the individuals that use pride as a shield to keep you from calling out their blatantly predatory actions. People that can and will commit frankly heinous acts and then scurry behind the flag so the people that actually want to affect positive change will protect them while being none the wiser about the monster in their midst. Now do remember this isn’t a pride exclusive thing; this applies to any group of any color or creed: straight, lgbt, black, white, left, right, whatever. It’s important to recognize and identify these people when you see them. They are parasites that will happily destroy everything you work for their cheap and sordid pleasures. That same energy you use to disdain those you see as your “enemy” should be used excising these tumors to the body that is your movement, lest they cause more harm than can be repaired. Do not let monsters hide behind a flag. Call them out.

Honestly the idea of setting a vote for how long a delay will be is borderline ubisoft and nintendo levels of consumer disdain. At this point just say “we don’t like you people and only sorta kinda tolerate you for the paper in your wallet”.

The people will yearn for the times when meshrafting was the biggest threat at sea.

No one’s demonizing you, you’re just making an arse of yourself by advocating for making the game into a p2w system.

Or you could just go to unofficial which can have servers with different rates rather than give wildcard a means to squeeze money out of people silly enough to whale for this of all games.
