Anyone else giving up this game on Nov 10th?

chris posts on reddit often are (very) short answers to questions.

i'd hardly call that a discussion.

This is true, yet how often do devs on many different games actually write anything on reddit? Lots of game devs never write on the reddit page of their games.

Also, GGG takes the time to write long write-ups of a development manifesto, and also come onto a community-ran podcast of the game to talk about development.

Should we blame Chris for writing short responses on reddit, when for many games, the devs would write no response at all?

I won't be quitting the game of course on November 10th cause I am not one for the hyperbolic complaint, blame game nor do I have much a taste for the mellodramatic. Whenever I do quit, I will simply quit and not make any scene of it, few will notice that I have stopped playing and perhaps fewer will miss me.

Only way I'll ever play FO4 is when Obsidian does an expansion again. Bethesda is a joke of a RPG dev that makes games for the lowest common denominator. Of course, if you're a casual gamer who just wants to run around a post-apocalyptic scenery and shoot some gunzz and don't care if the story or world-building make any sense then I can see how it might be just the game for you.

That said, blockbuster games, RPG or otherwise, come out all the time and people still come back to POE. I'm sure it will survive even FO4.

Playing Bethesda game at launch = LOL, somebody must have really like bugs, lots of them...

So much QQ in this thread...

No, don't care about FO4, stoked for the 5 week event. I still have a bunch of builds I haven't played yet and want to try.

Just a quick note on FO4: buy a Bethesda game day 1? You must be joking. Maybe I'll get it a year from now at half the price and when modders have fixed all the broken stuff which will inevitably be part of it.

Seriously, all this whine about imbalance in PoE, does no one recall the infinite armor/weapon improvements possible in Skyrim through the Restoration potion bug, which still exist five years later and have never been patched except by unofficial mods?!?

Or all the complaints about PoE economy, while in Skyrim the only economic question is "hmm which vendors have enough gold to buy all my junk now?" and currency ceases to have any meaning past about level 20?

Despite how much shit Hi-Rez gets, they're pretty active on reddit for Smite. They also post their reasoning about each change in the patch notes so everyone knows why they changed skills/items/passives in the ways that they do.

Path of exile would seriously benefit from similar communication.

It's funny, but I've yet not dealt with a player behaving badly... I trade a bit (though only buying), and chat in Global once in a while. There are some people in Global that I wouldn't want to talk to, and then I just don't. I don't see it as a big problem. Most people are either chatty in which case a trade can take a while (in a good way), or not in which case the trade is just done quickly.

As for Divination cards, I think people just don't understand what they're there for...
They're not designed to let you farm for 'good stuff' in a short time (that would ruin the economy), but are there to reward long-time players with 'good stuff'. And with 'long-time' I mean players who are loyal for months (or even years when talking about cards like The Brittle Emperor).
As such, they're actually working well. You get a steady reward of lesser, sometimes useful, items and currency. Eventually, you'll get the 'good stuff'...
Their implementation mean they reward long-term commitment to the game, while not being a major disruption to the economy.

...

Anyways, just wondering if anyone else is as excited for Fallout 4 as I am?

I hope to rejoin PoE in November again (after the map drop rates will be buffed). I played all the other fallout games but I fail to see how they could be compared to an online game like poe.

Any indication that that will actually happen?

do they really try to charge players for future expansions before even releasing them? lol.

but i will probably try the "game of the year"-version because bugs destroyed so many games for me (dragon age, oblivion, titan quest, skyrim...)

If everyone is a dickhead, you're the dickhead. I'm glad people like you are deciding to quit, even though you'll be back for the next 3 month league.
