@doaenel @jynxzi hear me out

@Arktheos unironically high iq take, jungle plants are cool from a gameplay randomization factor but they fundamentally give people “get out of jail free” cards that they shouldn’t have access too because of a poor play, ig u could argue it’s not a poor play “knowing” they are there but ye

[Haste @hastes]

[Haste @hastes]

@SteaknShake no thanks we’re voting fishback and no longer eating at this place

[Haste @hastes]

@DissidentWire now that is aura

[Haste @hastes]

@FloridaGOP Why don’t we just rename the Florida GOP to the Israel GOP at this point?

[Haste @hastes]

@BodyZerg @Sheep_Esports probably unironically right, i have a sneaking suspicion that ranked player numbers are near all time lows

[Haste @hastes]

@Sheep_Esports I think the solution is simple: first time you intentionally try and lose or grief the game you are instantly chain banned from ranked for the season on every single account, and if you come back after and int again you are perma banned on every single account.

[Haste @hastes]

@Sheep_Esports I don't understand how we can settle for "this player will receive a transgression", oh wow they won't be able to type for 6 games or they will have longer queues, is there a good reason why this player isn't instantly perma banned?

[Haste @hastes]

@HANC8CK i think they confirmed somewhere it will still use the hextech engine but they will upgrade it significantly

[James Fishback @j_fishback]

I just signed a legally binding contract under penalty of perjury.

The terms are simple: if I break any one of my promises as Florida Governor, I cannot run for re-election.

Politicians in both parties have lied to us. That ends with me.

[Haste @hastes]

@RonDeSantis do something about the rigged debates fat man

[Haste @hastes]

@ecombeckett neat

[Haste @hastes]

a waitlist after being this behind (and still probably being behind after this) is diabolical

[Aaron @aaronp613]

The "New Siri" on iOS 27 has a waitlist to get in

[Haste @hastes]

@KireiLoL the guy she tells you not to worry about

[Haste @hastes]

@lucynavt yea but they need some kind of vertical prog or the only people that stay are the omega casual end of the spectrum (which is fine and good) i just think theres a good balance games can strike with it

[Haste @hastes]

"momentum based movement" "horizontal progression" "single player action game style combat"

doesn't sound great tbh but i'll remain optimistic...

[lucy ✨💜 @lucynavt]

Here's the new exclusive artwork for Guild Wars 3 from the @IGN Interview with ArenaNet Studio Head!

TL;DR of the interview:
❌ No subscription / battle pass model - Colin Johanson called BP system a "subscription with extra rewards" that force you to keep playing
🗺️ Horizontal Progression - GW3 isn't a job simulator and they encourage you to play at your pace without racing for best gear
📜 Lore starts from around 48 BE (after Dhuum imprisonment)
⚔️ Action RPG combat from singleplayer and multiplayer games
🏃 Momentum based movement that blends with combat
💡GW3 is supposed to tackle modern MMO problems and overcome the stagnation of the genre

He also said that the following image is representation of their vision of combat designed for both controllers and keyboard/mouse (Ranger, Elementalist, Assasin confirmed???)

[Haste @hastes]

@lucynavt just give me gw2 with a bit more vertical prog better combat better graphics and more endgame/dungeon/raid focus and maybe more interesting gear and its a home run
