So, what're you playing?

[Khaldun]

You know, I read that as you found a Win 7 boot disk inside of Elder Scrolls Online. And I was thinking "Well, that's pretty meta, isn't it?"

[Hutch]

Yeah, apparently the paywall got egregious as Rift went on. I was psyched for the new account-wide, server-spcific shared bank, mostly to get around the endless crafting goods shuffle (though they did add in craft from bank which is awesome and was long overdue).

2700 gems, or almost 20 bucks for the shared bank. Ye gods.

And I'm on a subscription account (free for 15 days, but still...I can see for the f2p, but for subs?)

edit: just unlocking a bag slot is like $5 and not account-wide.

They also let you put more than 3 crafting professions on a single character. I forget how much that costs though.

[Sky]

I'm probably done with it, the paywall stuff just bums me out too much and the lack of immersion leaves little stickiness.

Probably back to minecraft or swtor.

I'm really liking TESO.  I'm glad I was roped into it.

Not much else going on except a few minutes of DA:I while waiting for the spaghetti to cook.

My sister's Mac is better than the requirements but it's too choppy for her to play.  My PC runs it fine.  She sent a complaint... we'll see what happens.  She's very irritated.  I'm in it again because we were going to play together.  I'm Black Mavis on Sephora if anyone wants to say hi. 

HI!

[Yegolev]

Works great on my PS4.

[Shannow]

Back to building stupidly large space ships in Space Engineers.

Still 2 rounds of competitive CS:GO a night, actually contemplating buying a bigger monitor just so I can see enemies better at range.

I don't understand. Resolution is resolution?

[Yegolev]

TESO was down so I played more Axiom Verge.  Found one or two bullshit challenges.  Stayed up too late.  Should have played something else.

Bigger monitor means bigger enemies.

True, however my monitor is ancient and only goes so high on resolution. Plus a newer monitor should be easier on my aging eyes.

If we get enough people playing TESO to make it easy to find a playmate online, I would consider checking it out again.

I haven't played WoWS for about a week now, and I don't really miss it. Games are too long for not nearly enough money/experience, too many awful ships to grind through, etc. Still plugging along in WoT when I get the urge. SO close to finishing up the T-55 missions.

Played some Worlds of Magic recently. It is fun, very MoM-esque, and needs continued support/development. They are still working on it, so hopefully they get there. Trying to get into Age of Wonders III as WoM methadone, but not sure if that will stick or not.

[Yegolev]

There seem to be several people playing TESO who have been, until recently, afraid to admit it.

I don't count, however, since I'm playing on PS4.  No food in the mail for your guys.

[Signe]

Well, I'm playing on a PC.  I'm on Shagora or something.  I'm confident that's not actually the name.  I can easily start a character on a different server if someone wants to have a guild.  I'm only level 7.

[Sky]

FAITH NO MORE SONG PACK

FAITH NO MORE SONG PACK

That's for the Rockmith game, no?  Its awesome that they have a Faith No More pack!  Do the have a Fields of the Nephilim pack?  That would be even awesomer!

I saw you mention something about this in another thread - and that your characters name was "Black Mavis" I think?  I went looking for you / my server and couldn't find anything.  Now caveat I'm playing through Steam so maybe that information is hidden, but I've never seen (or been offered through the UI) to choose a server.  If I'm on a certain server I don't even know the name!

My current character is a level 17 Templar (Breton) in the Daggerfall Covenant - name's Von Krieg.  As I got up past level 15 I realized I'm kind of a gimp skill-wise, so I paid for the re-spec, but I think I managed to mess that up too.  I was thinking of leveling up something different for shits and gigs so if the server coordination can be straightened out maybe we can all frolick.


       

[Jeff Kelly]

Not playing much because summer games done quick is on and I'm watching a lot of live speedruns

[Signe]

I'm a Breton Sorc.  I don't know if it hides info or if I didn't come up because I was at the vet and grocery store.  I probably have to be in the game for someone to see me which I will be in 3... 2... 1....

I did try sending you a friend request under the name 'Black Mavis' a day or two ago.  I didn't get an error message or "user not found" thing it just seemed to go off into space. *shrug*

[Signe]

Maybe I didn't know where to look.  Send me another?

Played a good chunk of Operation Abyss until I hit a level cap: level 15 is the max until you finish the first bit of story. Unfortunately, I hit the cap before I was anywhere near it; I've played a few more hours since then and still haven't unlocked the cap so the lack of progression is killing my desire to play. Oh well, EO2:FK hits next Tuesday so I wasn't likely to finish it anyway.

Enjoying Hex's new patch (insert obligatory "You should be playing this" here); the 333 format is so much better than 221. They have Asynch Sealed and Constructed now (like Hearthstone's Arena) so it's finally got something competitive that's also casual friendly.

Also still playing FF: Record Keeper on my phone; they just added Edgar and Sabin so I now have more FFVI characters than I know what to do with!

Well, the cap is only in effect until you finish those last few missions, you are free to level to 40 after that. It's the side effect of combining two games into one.

I didn't mind the lack of leveling in that segment, btw, but I'm also trying to finish the game with no grinding / as little leveling as possible. My party is level ~20 now, and I'm pretty sure I'm getting near the endgame with most of the enemies being level 30+ or even 35+...

e: basically just use Escape Code on each random encounter (~0.5 unity cost) to escape. Build up Unity on fixed unavoidable encounters.

[Rendakor]

As the resident Disgaea fan, grinding and leveling is rather important to me having fun.

[Signe]

My sister contacted TESO support and they gave her two suggestions which didn't work.  Today she found that they had refunded her the $60 without her even asking.  I find that to be very honest.  Her Mac is almost 7 years old.  Considering the type of work she does and the sorts of things she runs, she needs to upgrade anyway.  THEN she can buy it back.  I know for sure she will LOVE this game!

[DraconianOne]

I have lost my life to Cities: Skylines. 


I am terrible at it.

[Druzil]

I'm about half way through the Talos Principal which is pretty great so far.  Some of the computer terminal readings are a bit boring but some of the interactive ones are more interesting.

Started the new Kings Quest last night.  Too early to tell how good it is yet, but it has potential.  The first little area is pretty straight forward though so hopefully it gets more open/involved later.

Also a little FFRK but definitely slowing down on it.  I'm just barely keeping up with the events but I'm way behind on the elite story dungeons.  Fallout shelter has been officially deleted.

When I got my first city in Skylines over 100k I had trains backed up for miles in every direction and huge traffic jams made up of only garbage trucks and hearses.  That one will definitely get a revisit at some point 

[Yegolev]

Being me means that I get interrupted a lot.  Last night I had several gaps in the couples television schedule for various wife-left-the-room reasons, which is great because it's not me getting up (most of the time) and so I actually made progress in Persona Q.  I got to the bit where they decide to call the big enemies FOEs and almost fell out of bed due to excessive eyeroll.  Eventually I clicked on the HELP button in the lower screen and now I can't make the HELP screen go away, which basically renders the game unplayable since I can't see the map.

[Rendakor]

FOE is a holdover from Etrian Odyssey. There's also a song.

If any puzzle game fan here hasn't played Talos Principle, go get it now. I was basically glued to the screen until I finished it (and the expansion). The puzzles keep coming up with enough new variations on the same couple of elements that it's challenging in the best way until the end. But fuck those star puzzles, because that shit is just insane. Also all the Milton interactions.

[Druzil]

I don't know that I'll do the stars at all.  I found a couple, but for the most part they seem really obscure.  I thought for sure I found the answer to one as I followed this hologram guy around the level but then... nothing 

[PalmTrees]

Finished the Witcher 3. It was ok. The way Geralt moves was too damn awkward and I hated the way the game locked you on to enemies. That clumsiness killed any replay value, not willing to put up with it a second time to see what would happen if I made some different choices.

Now to start on the games I picked up in the summer steam sale. Just started with the South Park rpg.

[Yegolev]

Yes, that was the source of the eyeroll.  They even used the same acronym as EO, and I found that to be pretty ridiculous even for Japan.

[MisterNoisy]

Duck Game - holy hell this game is a riot, especially if you can get four players and controllers in the same room - totally worth dragging the PC out to the living room.

If they had called them something else, all the EO players would still have called them FOEs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
