The original story arc as well as the Argon arc. The Arch Deva story was expanded upon recently and is not going to end anytime soon. We should probably stop talking about TERA though... :wacko:
Oh wait no, one thing I did enjoy from TERA, despite character creationg overall being more limited: BEARDS. We're only getting facial hair as part of collabs...
I hope you're right :p that's pretty much why I'm bored with it at the moment, nothing really seems that interesting when you're not after money at the moment. So I started using my lower levelled characters, and I'm quite enjoying the difference in playability.
Speaking of male characters, though, they always stand out in a crowd to me, basically just because they're male. The demographics are funny, too- I find most male characters I run into belong to Western gamers, and to newer players.
I can't make heads or tails of what most characters look like in an MPA, and to be honest I don't like much of the outfits, which come off as impractical, over-cluttered or just plain silly... But I still think everyone should get themselves a giant RAcast :p
PSOW is more like a TamrielFoundry than an ElderScrollsOnline.com and the former was a lot less toxic from what I remember - people actually shared useful information instead of complaining! Granted, complaints on the official forum were somewhat justifiable due to the terrible state of game at launch, but still.
Secret World is a niche game, slow official forums but a lot less rage too.
A browser.
Sega usually does some neat things and the collaborating with some companies that own anime have added some things. PSO2 is basically like other installment in the Phantasy Star games where everything is available but locked within the games data. The stuff that's unlocked or eventually will be available will help but I'm afraid restricting people to ships upon registration and after making a character is a dumb decision causing limitation of finding/making friends.
Scrub question: what MPA. That's the TACO missions I see often on here.
I understand the problem with the outfits and wish SEGA would repeat what they did when designing the outfits in PSO/PSZ.
If you bothered reading the thread you'd know exactly where I stand on this, but I guess playing for stats and playing for sex appeal aren't mutually exclusive. My female is dressed in Cathedral Cross. Complete with the hairstyle. Face and hands are the only body parts exposed. Scandalous, I know.
And no, I can't really say that, because most people I know and have met pay more attention to either being fashionable, their gear, or both. Not being as stripperific as possible. Gotta question what kind of people you're playing with to get an impression otherwise. Looking good is not synonymous with looking like a prostitute. Hell, the best players I know can afford both excellent equipment (certainly well beyond whatever you're using) and still manage to be fashionistas with plenty of meseta to spare. Talking hundreds of millions. Because they're good, they can make more of a profit, and because they make more of a profit, they can afford more stuff, including aesthetics.
I always feel so out of place at the Black Nyack table. It's kind of funny though.
Plus it's also funny because it makes it look like in the far future life will return to some polygamous society like the days of Noah or some shit.
...maybe that's why we're called 'Ark's.
I was actually basing the observation on third party message boards that had some popularity. Official forums are standard message boards, I'll admit, but they are usually host to TONS of complaints/criticism than useful information.
My comparison would roughly be between TamrielFoundry and other discussions on social media (like FB groups, subreddits like /r/ElderScrollsOnline, imageboards, ingame groups, etc). People in those groups generally tend to appreciate the informative threads, but not the community or general discussion sections. Regular message boards tend to have much richer information, but give a much colder reception to newer players, especially outside of a Q&A or newbie thread. This is a common trend on several different communities, which is why it's kind of interesting.
I see a similar dynamic on:
SmashBoards compared to /r/SmashBros
BlueGartr and either /r/FFXIV or /r/FFXI, depending on which MMO you talk about
DFOSource/Nexus isn't well-liked at all by those outside the subcommunity (though it's not/wasn't as informative as either of the two I listed above).
Monster Hunter doesn't really have that much of a third-party independent message board (I guess there's GFAQs?), but there are several helpful smaller communities.
Also, Opera has the best new tab page, and outside of a few minor quips (HTML5 sites not quite working on mobile, HTTP Switchboard being awkward compared to Noscript) I'd use it instead.
I have a male character. I pretty much stopped playing with him. To the point that I'm considering deleting him. =E
