I can’t seem to block communities in wefwef?

I HAVE to stay here because I like mobile scrolling and I will never use the shitty Reddit app, so lemmy is staying as my Reddit replacement :)

I find it very strange how memes have become more popular than the gaming subs, I thought they would be equally bustling but they’re deathly quiet which is a shame so far.

Also missing SquaredCircle for wrestling happenings so I’ll quickly visit there on my PC, but certainly not interested in other Reddit crap.

Also got Tildes on the side for when I want some more stuff but there’s a lot off guff like sociology n stuff….sometimes you just need a meme or whatever. Glad to have a choice.

Yeah druid is exactly the same, it's just so boring to go from my palpatine style Witch in Poe, to a slow, asthmatic doofus in D4 lol

Nice man, I failed to mention also; you can host your game online so playing with friends, or having the game open is a thing. It's quite fun when someone joins the enemy team, they provide that little bit of spice to an otherwise, potentially easy mission. Doubly so if they comandeer a tank or something - uh oh!

Yeah, I get real tired of minions being so tanky...and the elite mobs, just ugh. Either have them do massive damage and require dodging, and let us do equal good damage...just not what they are now (massive boring tanks).

Good stuff, I enjoy a good meme every once n a while but if lemmyshitpost is anything to go by, can completely overwhelm a feed with stupid stuff.

Grabbed this for my wife whos a big Poke head and enjoyed FO:NV. What a steal for 9 quid. So far she's loving temtem (she's a ROM-hack kinda gal, and found other Poke-likes on steam a bit shit in X or Y regard).

IMO OG WoW and even the tiny bit of WoW Classic I played...STILL featured the best social pick-up-COOP-questing. Hell even the pre classic private servers I played still had a sense of community. Granted the later years were less social, covid really did a number on roaming chatters; I think everyone became more world weary.

After reading so much hatred towards retail WoW I finally tried it [as a Vanilla fan] and er, yeah it was ok but socially it was a ghost town outside of that weird Airport hub in the sky [Shadowlands]. My heart broke a bit when I did chromie time in Azeroth, not only were the zones like Westfall fucked up, I saw absolutely no one during my time questing in westfall. Just.....sad times.

Overall retail WoW was good on the tail end of Shadowlands, but the end game being just Mythic dungeon and Raids for a chance at maybe one bit of good gear is shit. I prefer more chill exploring, questing and a bit of collecting. Transmog farming was boring, and old quests were pointless as they weren't level scaled. So I ended up quitting just before dragonflight. Still have good memories of Vanilla's original 1-60 journey, but it's not that game anymore.

I saw so much love for Guildwars 2 over the years, but my WoW brain bounced off it so hard about three times. Until last Christmas, on a whim I bought the complete package and I found my new MMO home.

Exploration, XP for everything, level scaling and world events which makes every zone somewhat relevant. Easy and no gear-treadmill (your shit will always be good, forever). The story is linear and makes sense, unlike WoWs scattered expansion packs and timelines, jesus.

Plus, my human male is voiced by Nolan North, so in my head he's a teleported Nathan Drake from Uncharted now in a weird fantasy land lol. I'm not really bothered by side characters in these games, but i've grown attached to the cast too, the chemistry is pretty decent bless it's heart.

GW2 does some good account bound stuff too like your mounts, currency and masteries (kinda like skills for X things) all apply to toons so no repeat grinds/unlocks per alt which is absolute BLISS!

I also made a random friend-for-life after asking in map chat for a hero point train in the Heart of Thorns map. Any game I make a genuine friend gets massive marks, it's so hard to find good people in any game these days. GW2 is very nice in that regard, i'd recommend joining a guild, to which there are some nice ones in the NA region.

You can try GW2 for free, just give it a while for it to tick. It does some things differently and especially if you're coming from a WoW, gear mindset...you're gonna have to check it at the door. Loot is mostly materials and random shit like boosts. Your gold assets are tied up in those materials vs fat gold stacks from mobs.

I like logging on and map clearing when i'm in discord with my lads and we're waiting to play something proper. You clear maps by opening up the fog of war, collecting waypoints [teleports all over said map], hitting points of interests, doing favor hearts [very basic 'quests'] and hitting up vistas [quick, panoramic cutscenes of an area of interest]. It's so chill to whack a podcast on and do these, and you benefit greatly from completing them, more so if you do the whole map too.

I could be here all day waxing lyrical about GW2, it is the best MMO for me these days. I've still not completed the story since December, i'm currently on the start of LWS4. Still got End of Dragons and then the new expansion too, good feels!

And the best bit? Even if I don't return for months or years, all my gear will still be as good as I left it. No 'power creep' I believe the word is?

I have yeah, it that’s kind of the problem - it’s icyveins or bust unfortunately. I did go pulverize bear which made it better, but I had the same experience with d2r.

I guess I just hate limits, I like in poe….if I want my toon to do something specific (such as fast cast speed) I can spec into that and work on it. Where as Diablo….I might get 3 passive points 😄

Chalk and cheese though; D4 did good with getting the masses to enjoy a venerable entry into the genre.

Easy Red 2.

WWII fps/tps made by a small team. Did you like BF1942 maps and bots back in the day?

This is the first ‘bot game’ which is actually very good and wwii focused. Others like ravenfield were too spread out, scope wise, or too twee like Brass Brigade.

It’s just had Normandy come out and first person animations tweaked and it’s in a really good place.

Custom maps and soon to have custom assets on the workshop so workshop maps are about to blow up big style!

Would love to see more wwii game fans try it out, even off sale it’s FILTHY cheap. Can highly advise the recent Normandy DLC too, the quality of the maps are leaps and bounds over the base campaigns, Stalingrad is also very good too if you're an eastern front kinda boi.

I loved playing D4 with all my guys, hopping in and out together, it finally got me to really appreciate ARPGs after bouncing off D3 and grim dawn in the past.

Buuuuut, level scaling mobs and utterly boring resource management got me in the end ‘uhhh neeed MOOORE spppiirit says the Druid’.

So I moved onto PoE and now I am exiled for good 🤣

Yea we’re so spoiled, I’m a big comment collapser, App Store Memmy likes to freeze up a bit, where as wefwef is a bit quicker….but it likes to jump my position in the ‘scroll position’ 🤣

Still….I’ll take these problems over fucking Reddits app!!
