Text of the page (random words):
ave a ton of alternate activities designed with this player choice in mind this old chestnut highlights the player choice the modern mmo has versus good ol classic can t even recall who first made this meme the thing is mmos are not merely the sum of systems there s a social element to them as well and that is how the problems creep in in any social endeavor certain niceties are expected if you want to fit in just like proper social etiquette in real life there s an mmo version of social etiquette when interacting with people the wil wheaton saying don t be a dick is just the bare minimum for social interactions beyond that mmo interactions are a bit more complex if you want to do group content in an mmo especially in today s age you re expected to have done the correct things to maximize your output what that entails varies between guilds and groups but there s a measure of commonality driven by the knowledge that in the group finder mmo environment players are interchangeable if you don t have the right specs gear systems settings you can be painlessly replaced by someone else and in a pre group finder mmo be prepared to submit for inspection if you want in on some group content developers have attempted to circumvent such social restrictions with new ideas lfr raids being the most notable but that s a technical solution for what is inherently a people problem and when i play any group content in an mmo i feel the social pressure i never used to but once you ve crossed the rubicon and been on the progression side of things the veil of obscurity has been ripped away and you now see things from the lens of those who are judging whether you re good enough to join their raid team the best way to find good candidates for your organization is to create what i call positive encounters actions speak louder than words so you need to ensure that these potential new members have some actions by which they can judge you when you need a specific class get your best group runners together and advertise that you need said class in order to do an instance once you get them in your group don t mention recruitment just run that instance and do your job well if they do well tell them you hope to group again and then part ways if they aren t in an organization you may subtly mention that you are looking for their class do this enought times with enough people and word will get around that you re a solid outfit you can t buy better publicity than that and it creates more opportunities for you to use the soft sell the guild leader s companion by adam ferrel trzonkowski page 41 the irony is that i thought this way before i bought the guild leader s companion because i d be on guild runs in an instance and guild chat during the run would have a lot of commentary on any pugger s technique both good and bad and what their prospects were as a potential member of the raid team i never saw it myself until i formally joined the progression guild immediately before tbc classic and there were plenty of times i wished i had remained ignorant and just enjoyed a dungeon run or a raid i guess that s where the irony creeps in a single player game such as an rpg doesn t have that sort of social pressure there s nobody looking over your shoulder judging your gameplay dropping comments and or hints about how you could have done better nobody is pulling you into a discord chat about how you could up your dps a bit more so you could overcome that last fight more quickly nobody is telling you what extra gear pieces you should farm for nobody is suggesting a link in wowhead to go check out to improve your gameplay in a single player game the only person you have to please is yourself and garrus you ought to please garrus too from tumblr because of that i can focus as much or little of my time on the metagame without any recriminations i haven t gone and pulled up walkthroughs or youtube videos or gone to other websites that would cause spoilers in bg3 but the plotting does remain i know that there s an optimal way of doing things that s a drawback to any game really but i don t seek it out most importantly i don t have people telling me or others in a chat i m not part of that i m not playing it right in one form or another to a certain extent ignorance is bliss i suppose now about that arcane tower in bg 3 sort of i still don t quite get people who took off for a week s worth of vacation when tbc classic and other wow expacs released given that at least here in the us paid vacation isn t very copious to begin with and if i told my wife i was going to burn a week s worth of my vacation time playing video games for upwards of 18 hours a day she d have a conniption fit if i were retired that d be a different story but i think i d be expected to travel a lot and i m not as big on that these days either for the record yes my character has been immersed in the other party members backstories let s just say i was surprised at how easily certain relationships progressed which made me wonder if there was something i was missing out on in real life if fictional relationships moved at this sort of speed the terokkar forest zone was exactly in the middle of the outland leveling experience so while i was halfway through i still had a ways to go unless you re streaming i suppose but i don

re characterized by an animal companion that attacks or tanks enemies while you stay back at distance and rain arrows bullets on the baddies that style of play has a lot of appeal to it not the least of which is that a hunter can solo a lot of enemies that other classes cough mage or paladin cough would have difficulty with of course that hunter mentality tends to create issues while raids may designate hunters as the puller it helps to coordinate with the raid leads from ifunny co so without further ado some hunter memes for this march monday although there are a ton of pets to choose from hunters in wow tend to follow the crowd i ve been told that petopia is the go to for all things hunter from imgflip about those more mobs from skeletonbooty this is what those extra mobs lead to from pinterest and likely demotivational of course hunters do name their pets and it can sometimes get awkward from quickmeme can t argue with that one from imgflip and one extra hunter meme because hunters do have that reputation of rolling on everything because it s a hunter weapon from imgflip again posted by redbeard at 6 00 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels meme monday memes thursday march 7 2024 random news and notes for a thursday if you post coffee memes beware your readership will explode given that there s literally hundreds of coffee memes out there why on earth i got a sudden explosion in views on pc when i posted a few of my favorites is beyond me it s not like they re that new either but oh well i m not above using one of the ones that missed the cut for a few extra pageviews what i find disturbing is how close the after picture looks like david tennant from laugh lore under the header of video games getting a board game treatment there s a beloved bioware franchise that has a boardgame in the works this landed in my inbox on monday from modiphius yes modiphius is going to publish mass effect the board game a cooperative and story driven boardgame designed by eric m lang and calvin wong tze loon for 1 4 players it sounds interesting at first blush and given how modiphius tends to have high quality plastic pieces in their games this ought to look pretty too here s the signup page for more info and to receive emails about the release of the game itself just make sure you fill out the correct info for us vs uk europe so you end up with the correct website you know the dracthyr race in retail world of warcraft has taken some lumps for it s decidedly un dragonkin like look from wowpedia i was perusing some rpg sites the other day and i came across some artwork from runequest that made me go hmmm look vaguely familiar found on glorantha bestiary pages 36 37 verified with my copy also found here at artstation these are dragonewts as drawn by cory trego erdner back in 2016 2017 for the runequest glorantha bestiary in runequest dragonewts claim to be the oldest sentient species and are one of the races found in the main starting area in runequest dragon pass now admittedly there s only so much an artist can do with the basic dragon design but the reason why i don t mind the look of the dracthyr is that they do evoke a similar look as that found in runequest the lore is obviously very distinct but given that nobody seems to bitch about the lore of dracthyr so much as that they don t look cool enough that s my two cents on the matter finally i wanted to mention a long departed podcast that really sucked me into rpgs back in the day before modern times and the proliferation of podcasts in their current monetized form chuck tinsley and lonnie ezell created the dragons landing inn podcast back in 2005 they kept it going for about 126 130 episodes and then steve and rob kind of picked up the mantle for a dozen episodes or so in a relatively unmoderated format until the podcast faded away when i asked my brother in law what good rpg and gaming podcasts were out there he said without hesitation dragons landing inn i ve tried to find a better version of their graphic to no avail with the tagline gaming goodness chuck and lonnie would espouse on rpgs whatever the news was in rpg space and eventually would broach rpg specific topics on running a campaign and having a rules set fit the type of campaign you wanted to play although the news is quite dated it began in a time before d d 4e and pathfinder existed the old podcasts are still available via the internet archive at this link i don t believe they re complete as the original podcasts start at episode 27 so you ll have to search the internet archive for individual episodes to complete the entire run of dli i still have my old downloads of dli on my desktop i ve dutifully backed up and transferred them over the almost two decades that they came out and have no intention of ever deleting them given how podcasting has evolved as a format since dli s heyday it s refreshing to find a podcast in a raw unmonetized state and low bit rate still providing entertainment eta corrected grammar eta corrected more grammar sheesh posted by redbeard at 11 34 am 2 comments email this blogthis
