Noxious

Considering the internet sentiment around their two other [currently] main franchise games, D4 and OW2, I'd argue WoW is currently their best basket to put the proverbial egg in.

While Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 are... having problems (D4 …

They may experience a resurgence if Stormgate will be successful once it releases, otherwise it's still a fairly niche genre atm that isn't exactly the kind of investment ActiBlizz would generally make.

Feature-wise, yeah, they really haven't done much. It took until last year to finally implement achievements. A large amount of games still aren't supported (or the devs didn't add whatever "epic achievement plug-in" they need to add so their game's …

Epic has already been recycling games every now and then - I go to pick up a free game and it turns out I already own it, and I definitely didn't buy it.

There's actually a pretty cool excel …

The article was getting a bit too chonky so I didn't spend much talking about the mystery box, but you make a good point with POE players craving POE's loot boxes.

Compare POE's loot box to any other sort …

US law in, I believe, all but one state, allows employers to lay off employees without needing to give them an x-week notice. I can only assume they don't bother being nice and doing it anyway because of any combination …

I am glad to see more and more wikis moving away from the absolute nightmare that is Fandom. Anyone familiar with Path of Exile knows the hot garbage the Fandom version of the wiki was before they moved to poewiki.net …

To quote one of my favorite shows: What we know is a drop, what we don't is an ocean.

Hah, do I. Yes, I do! So, from UT99's soundtrack, a song I rarely see put in the big OST videos since I believe it comes from a map added much later in the game is Isotoxin. I'd …

It is a thing!

1v1 me!

Oh my god, is that the one where you'd always have to jump across roofs and pits and you had to time it perfectly or you'd fall? That was brutal to 4-6 year old me.

It's just one of those things you have to accept and then make an effort not to think about ever again :D

At the time of the Cataclysm (if that was the first time we saw his visage, it …

I think we're looking at 2024 for a 'full' release of POE2. The open beta, however, could drop at the end of summer - the question is, will it be a soft launch as well? The first few years of …

Nice set of MTX, though the time slot for the first drop is rather painful for Europe. I wonder if they're in any way related (lore-wise) to what they'll be showing off for POE2. I do recall corruption being a …

It's sort of interesting to me that their approach is to fear adding mechanics to the core experience. I'm just imagining what Path of Exile would be if only one or two of their league mechanics had gone core, and... …

Apologies for the late reply! I too have been having a good time in DF, more than I did in Legion (which I didn't think possible). It hits all the right spots, while Shadowlands somehow managed to bludgeon all the …

Starcraft II is definitely a lot more work than WC3 in most aspects; I find it too fast for PvP as well, preferring to build a nice base, some towers, maybe a tulip garden - but I can't ever get …

RTS has indeed been in a weird spot since Starcraft II finished its run. It was regarded as the unofficial national sport of South Korea and by now, all these years later, I'd have expected the country to pivot to …

Can't say that'd surprise me!
