Life, the worst MMO I've ever played. · 4:00am Mar 16th, 2013

(Just another friendly chat with resident badass Jet Howitzer)
[10:35:54 PM] Jet Howitzer: Jus' Playin'?
[10:36:00 PM] Jet Howitzer: JUS' PLAYIN'?!?
[10:36:13 PM] Agent G: Jus' playin' this lil' game we call life...
[10:36:14 PM] Jet Howitzer: U wot m8?
[10:36:30 PM] Agent G: It's the worst goddamn MMO I've ever played.
[10:36:40 PM] Jet Howitzer: Shitty story, that's for damn sure.
[10:36:48 PM] Jet Howitzer: And some of the players are real assholes.
[10:37:05 PM] Agent G: I know right? Community blows, and if you don't pick the right lineage at the start then you're totally screwed.
[10:37:16 PM] Agent G: Not to mention that the PVP is totally unbalanced.
[10:37:22 PM] Jet Howitzer: Also, skills take way too much effort to level up.
[10:37:36 PM] Jet Howitzer: I mean, this gives grinding a whole new meaning.
[10:37:59 PM] Jet Howitzer: One thing it does well, though, is graphics. Oh, and loading times.
[10:38:17 PM] Agent G: Shit tell me about it, I'm on my second year of highschool and still haven't earned a profession yet.
[10:38:30 PM] Agent G: Yeah, graphics are a godsend.
[10:38:45 PM] Agent G: I hear they're going to open up the North Korean PVP servers again soon.
[10:38:49 PM] Jet Howitzer: And there's no lag.
[10:38:54 PM] Jet Howitzer: I have yet to see lag.
[10:39:03 PM] Jet Howitzer: The glitches are annoying, though.
[10:39:10 PM] Agent G: I have lag on startup sometimes.
[10:39:39 PM] Jet Howitzer: And I hate the fact that there aren't all the rules written down. Sometimes they change them seemingly at random. A bunch of players get together, do something, and then THEY change the rules.
[10:39:44 PM] Jet Howitzer: I mean, what the fuck?
[10:39:53 PM] Jet Howitzer: Why can't I change the rules?
[10:40:13 PM] Agent G: You didn't pick the politician background that's why.
[10:40:27 PM] Agent G: I hear their main quest is kind of shit though...
[10:40:31 PM] Jet Howitzer: Man, we scientists seem to get the short end of the stick.
[10:40:51 PM] Agent G: Well you get a bonus plus six to the intelligence stat which is nice.
[10:41:09 PM] Jet Howitzer: I suppose. Still, we pay for it in the long run. Endurance is shit, as is strength.
[10:41:18 PM] Jet Howitzer: Charisma is still tough to work on, too.
[10:41:33 PM] Agent G: Yeah, but you picked the dirty fighter trait at the beginning to balance that out right?
[10:41:43 PM] Jet Howitzer: ... Yeah.
[10:41:59 PM | Edited 10:42:10 PM] Jet Howitzer: And the pacifist too, so I don't often have to worry about senseless bouts of aggression.
[10:42:15 PM] Agent G: Must be nice, you know what else kind of sucks? Loot drops.
[10:42:21 PM] Jet Howitzer: I KNOW!
[10:42:26 PM] Agent G: I killed a rat the other day and didn't get shit.
[10:42:40 PM] Jet Howitzer: And the treasure at the end of the dungeons? Fucking pathetic. A goddamn piece of paper. That's it!
[10:43:01 PM] Jet Howitzer: Spoiler for you, since I've already finished the dungeon you're in, all you get is a piece of paper.
[10:43:24 PM] Agent G: Ah shit, knew I should've picked the 'drop out' dialogue choice towards the beginning of this quest.
[10:43:41 PM] Jet Howitzer: Nah, then you don't even get the bonuses awarded.
[10:43:43 PM] Agent G: lets you skip it altogether right?
[10:43:52 PM] Jet Howitzer: They're minor, but they do have an impact in the long run.
[10:44:05 PM] Agent G: I hope so.
[10:44:22 PM] Jet Howitzer: Trust me, when you get into a battle with a drop out, you'll see that you're much better off.
[10:44:29 PM] Jet Howitzer: Those small stat boosts really make the difference.
[10:44:48 PM] Agent G: Another thing I don't like, inventory system.
[10:44:57 PM] Agent G: Two pockets, seriously?
[10:45:00 PM] Jet Howitzer: Yeah, it's a bit cluttered. And it's easy to lose stuff.
[10:45:17 PM] Agent G: My 'in house' bank seems to make extra items dissapear as well.
[10:45:30 PM] Agent G: And the stock market is pretty OP/.
[10:45:31 PM] Jet Howitzer: I think that we need some new mods.
[10:45:40 PM] Jet Howitzer: Mods that don't fuck around.
[10:46:07 PM] Jet Howitzer: This one Mod that everyone seems to like, God? He hasn't done a thing in 2000 years if you listen to some players.
[10:46:17 PM] Jet Howitzer: That's just shameful.
[10:46:29 PM] Agent G: I know right? I hear when he did do things though he was kind of a dick.
[10:46:34 PM] Agent G: And you know what else?
[10:46:42 PM] Jet Howitzer: Oh, and he sacrificed a player! FOR NO GOOD REASON!
[10:46:44 PM] Agent G: We haven't had a single continent expansion since '
[10:46:47 PM] Agent G: 'America'
[10:46:55 PM] Agent G: That had a pretty cool main quest too.
[10:47:04 PM] Jet Howitzer: And they removed the Atlantis expansion.
[10:47:19 PM] Agent G: I hear remnants of the completed version can be found in the sea somewhere.
[10:47:29 PM] Jet Howitzer: Yeah, but it's not as good as the original.
[10:47:33 PM] Jet Howitzer: It's just that, fragments.
[10:47:39 PM] Agent G: That's a shame.
[10:47:46 PM] Jet Howitzer: No solid info, or plot. Just small useless bits.
[10:47:58 PM] Jet Howitzer: Also, fast travel? takes forever.
[10:48:11 PM] Agent G: I know, it isn't very fast if it takes four hours.
[10:48:22 PM] Agent G: Sometimes it's even longer than that.
[10:48:42 PM] Agent G: You remember that Black Plague patch a long time ago?
[10:49:00 PM] Jet Howitzer: Man, that was some serious shit. All those bans? Banhammer got a workout during that period.
[10:49:18 PM] Agent G: Sure did, one in three people got banned at a time, luck I didn't join around then.
[10:49:46 PM] Jet Howitzer: And then, afterwards, they introduced the renaissance expansion. All this new thinking they enabled.
[10:49:51 PM] Jet Howitzer: Was pretty chill.
[10:50:01 PM] Jet Howitzer: Maybe the mods were apologizing for going a bit overboard.
[10:50:23 PM] Agent G: I dunno man, I thought the PVP for the Roman era and stuff was pretty cool. Most of that was mod organized.
[10:50:58 PM] Jet Howitzer: No, they did it in the name of the mods. They were hoping to get admin priveledges. It wasn't allowed, but they tried anyway.
[10:51:30 PM] Agent G: Ah shame, oh you remember those World War world events? Those were freaking nuts.
[10:52:08 PM] Jet Howitzer: Yeah, and that PVP. Brutal. And that holocaust quest? Man, that hitler guy's got some balls. I don't think anyone else has even tried that quest.
[10:52:53 PM] Agent G: I hear it was pretty nasty if you failed that quest as a Jewish player. I'm glad they nerfed Nukes at the end of the event though. That could have been bad.
[10:53:16 PM] Jet Howitzer: And that player made Weapon expansion, the manhattan project? That was OP. But, like you said, the nerf came.
[10:53:34 PM] Jet Howitzer: Still, even with the nerfs the players are still making better nukes.
[10:53:58 PM] Jet Howitzer: I hear nowadays the nukes they build make the originals look like firecrackers.
[10:54:40 PM] Agent G: I haven't gotten around to that yet. I thought the whole Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Middle East questiline update could have been better. I mean, there weren't even any nukes at the end.
[10:55:01 PM] Jet Howitzer: There wasn't anything. It was a hoax to get us to buy the DLC.
[10:55:16 PM] Agent G: Bastards, that was expensive too.
[10:55:30 PM] Agent G: Not quite as expensive as the college DLC apparently is.
[10:55:53 PM] Jet Howitzer: yeah, college is an expensive one.
