Wot in an Oppressed Nation

You have to find them in guilds or the Discord from what I know. There’s also a tavern on Sundays - Telvanni Tea House in Vvardenfell.

Here’s the Discord - take out the dash. Blizz has decided I can’t use links again.

Cuz you’ve been helping me with the tavern, and I’m pretty sure I’m on several lists at this point.

Or it might be that I posted in both of the portal threads and made the snarky post in the Q&A thread. My trust level is back down (just checked) but I didn’t get any kind of report or forum suspension (just checked that, too).

Snarky post was worth it.

I’m thinking that you have to maintain some of the requirements that got you to level 3 to begin with - namely the amount of posts read one, being the most difficult to achieve. You may not have actually gotten it taken away because of something you did, but because you weren’t able to maintain the required stuff.

I’m in the ESO-RP discord, though I don’t post on it much these days. Guilds a little bit of a big step since I’m already running events in my wow guild and I don’t have that much time (plus I work second/third and nobody be awake at 3am eastern like fools)

maybe ill have to stop by tea time or something

Idk, maybe? I looked at my profile and I had over 2100 posts read last night, so there’s that.

Who knows what Blizz does.

Why do players care so much more than Blizzard does?

There was a tabletop gaming book in the late 70s/early 80s, Fantasy Wargaming, that gave female stat penalties in everything, because “it was the real deal in the middle ages.”

that’s a tabletop gaming book that most of the Warcraft 3 Reforged forum users could get behind

you know, forums for that high fantasy game where anything goes but god forbid a woman’s in battle

-It has terrible security. People get hacked all the time.

-Awful customer service.

-Games are more expensive due to Epics regional pricing. Can’t buy games from other websites for cheaper either, must be bought directly from Epic store

-Epic makes you pay a transaction fee before purchasing a game.

-You cant play games offline.

-No social features like chat.

-No controller support.

-There are no achievements.

-No cloud saves

-No game forums

-They pay for exclusive rights to force you to use their store which isnt good for consumers.

-They refuse refunds even if you meet criteria.

-No user reviews

-No linux support.

-They are partially owned by Tencent (a company that sells user data to the Chinese government)

And not to mention recently that the launcher itself was fishing for player’s steam data. While Tim Sweeney offers a “Oh we’re sorry we didn’t mean to do that we won’t do it again!” Why the hell would I want this thing on my computer?

Blind Loyalty?

If your spouse hits you once a day every day of the week so you break up with them and find a new spouse who only hits you six days out of the week.

Well that second spouse does not get a free pass just because they’re slightly less abusive.

Both steam and the epic store are trash. Heads they win tails you lose for using either of them.

Tbh I just use Steam to buy games because it’s got a lot of games. ;-;

Didn’t know anything about ethics or loyalty. It’s just a platform in which I can get games.

That said, WoW is the main game I play, so I mainly use Steam for Age of Empires, and the Total War games :smiley:

More competition >>> less competition

Same here, it’s just been a platform I’ve been using for over a decade. I don’t really have any brand loyalty, I just have a lot of games threw it.

I know that the concept of owning digital content is an illusion, which I’ve seen cited as to why people don’t like Steam. Yet this is why I’m a terrible pack rat and continue to buy CDs, DVDs and physical books. All digital content that is dependent on a platform is just a long term rental license. If the platform disappears or an agreement between the platform and the content creator changes you can lose it just like that.

Otherwise I don’t want to have to download and manage multiple middle man platforms to access content blah

They also, most recently, stole a character designed by a small child without going to any effort to compensate them for it.

Epic: “Like stealing art from small children.”

But no, please, go on about how Epic is good for the industry. I’d -love- to hear more. /sarcasm.

He’s criticizing Epic even though it’s stuff that’s already been covered. It’s all just a justification for blind loyalty to Valve, but it’s still criticism.

I don’t think anyone is ‘blindly loyal’ to Steam or Valve, and especially not Our Lord Gabe of the Hats.

Steam is not the standard by which these sort of things should be judged, but unfortunately it has become the standard by which such platforms are judged.

And when Epic manages to make Steam look good by comparison … there’s something desperately wrong with Epic.

After Steam’s (repeated) flip-flop(s) on its content policy I don’t think anyone is blindly loyal to them, regardless of which side of that mess they support.

We have people in this thread who are very clearly on the Steam Train. I don’t know how you can not see that. Some of them have even said as much.
