The rich can easily exploit the political system and lobby for favorable laws = Not only is it pay to win, the devs suck the dicks of their biggest whales

[–] Squirrel@thelemmy.club 30 points 1 year ago

It's pay to win, where if you pay enough, the devs will add customized cheats that only work for you.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

Whistleblowing corruption is dangerous and might often end in persecution against the whistleblower = Reporting cheating whales is a surefire way to get yourself banned

The wealth inequality gap is mind-boggling = You'd need to grind nonstop for a total of 5 billion hours to buy one of everything on the cash shop

Too many gold sinks at low level, not enough gold sinks at high level.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

WAY too much grinding at lower levels and the racial stats are all kinds of imbalanced

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 52 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I haven't been here long but I imagine c/outside exists?

[–] akariii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 1 year ago

if it doesn't, make it

[–] culprit@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

c/outside
Outdoors / Nature / Green Things

huh?

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 43 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think they meant the sub where life is treated like a game, a very poorly designed game (almost as if there was no Designer, just people).

Things like, "I'm level 18, should I spec my character into the biochem, robotics, or software guild?"

Or "What's the cheat code for an affordable surgery?"

You get the idea. Life's a game. And it sucks. Stupid devs.

I wish they would properly announce the UFO DLC already. All we have is rumors and hearsay.

[–] Pseu@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

I'm personally of the opinion that the hints aren't for the UFO expansion, but it's probably teasers for the World War 3 event, combined with camera artefacts and general player secrecy.

It's sad too. Everyone wants some good new DLC. All this PvP shit is getting out of hand. :(

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Affordable surgery is exclusive to the European servers, it seems.

[–] wanderingmagus@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

!outside@lemmy.world exists :) Not too active, but we can change that.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They probably spend too much time outside to bother with it ;)

[–] wanderingmagus@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

True lol. Probably distracted with all the grindy sidequests.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No respawn. Gambling mechanics.

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No respawn

Do we know that for certain, what if past oifes are previous spawns

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Inherited Wealth perk is ridiculously broken.

[–] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 year ago

It's 90% grinding and 10% actual gameplay

[–] derHolz@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How could the creator of the image miss the opportunity for it to say "we live in a society"

[–] thesprongler@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Good point. That's probably the libertarian gamer's answer to all of it 🤦

[–] gamey@feddit.rocks 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why is the richkid class locked for me?

[–] FleetingTit@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Your parents need to buy the DLC first!

[–] gamey@feddit.rocks 6 points 1 year ago
[–] Mcballs1234@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah the poor kid class builds the story better

[–] jarfil@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Skin color is still a difficulty selector.

[–] regalia@literature.cafe 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Spawn points are busted and too heavy RNG

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If the downvoters want to buy more votes mine only costs $500. You can send you money to the nearest food pantry or food bank.

[–] imaqtpie@lemmy.myserv.one 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This thread got me thinking, do we have a replacement for r/outside on Lemmy? That sub was pretty entertaining at times

[–] x4740N@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If someone finds one please tell me

[–] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

Capitalism is very unpoggers.

[–] aksdb@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

Ah fuck you all, I will just spin up my own server for me and my friends.

[–] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

Promises of infinite exponential capital growth => Feature creep

[–] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes. I'd actually love this. Then maybe I'd listen.

I love it when I see a headline and then hear 1383x ~~youth~~ trendy people repeat the headline. Then they tell me they don't follow msm and that they cultivate their own views. ...I just say... O.K. ...because I don't care. Then they act like they had the biggest mic drop because I didn't want to hear the same dumb shit for the 5 billionth time.
