and Last Epoch which has seen a ton of updates thru the summer so back to testing this great ARPG
Some FF14 also
The updates on Last Epoch are insane and it is shaping up very nicely. Much, much better then Wolcen ever was or will be.
/Cheers, Lahnmir
I have hundreds of hours in Both ( a play alot of ARPGs ) And imo Wolcen is a good bit further along and more entertaining at this point ...
As much as i have enjoyed Last Epoch thru its growth the last 2 years (and i think it has a good future)
Its very buggy , very repetitive and enviroments are a bit stale ..
The story line and lore are also overly convaluted and fractured
Wolcen is definitely further along. The quality and speed of Last Epochs‘ patches do hint at a better balanced and fun game in the future though. I have no trouble predicting Last Epoch surpassing Wolcen in the next, give or take, year and a half. It is also still in Beta while Wolcen has been released for a bit.

It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.
It is just huge resource waste....'

Last Epoch altho removing its EA tag is still in an Alpha stage ...
Wolcen is still in , i would say call BETA 2 , as there are several features .. Housing among other features that have not been reimplemented yet ..
As far as a better balanced game Epoch as Much work to do in this area ..
There are far to many builds that Trivialize there content , making the game far to easy and boring ..
They do not even have a True Ranged class or weapons in the game at all , which will require further balancing ..
Right now Epoch is fun Testing and interesting class/skill builds for sure , with engaging synergies ..
But far to easy/imbalanced/buggy and lacking diverse encounters..

I have no problem predicting that ARPG players will keep playing both. We're an excitable bunch that tends to buy and play pretty much all of them. ARPGs are short, repeat experiences, like video game junkfood.
Unless that game was Pagan, of course. No one cared about that a day after launch.
WoW retail trying to learn how to tank. Tried a brewmaster got destroyed in lower level dungeons. I did read its very hard to tank till you get to higher levels though. Started a Paladin that is going much better so far and i am up to level 66. I finally got my UI situated to my liking which helps a lot. I do not understand why other classes insist on pulling mobs though. I think it was a death knight who was constantly pulling a mob to him which would leave a group of casters. Made it much harder than it needed to be to pick everyone up

My worst nightmare would be starting from level 1 in retail WoW and trying to level up to max. No way I could do that again.
"I gave Wurm, Legends of Aria, and Fractured a try. Gave up on Wurm when I
couldn't even find a decent plot of land after searching for an hour or
two"
That was always the problem I had in Wurm also.....I played for a couple months and never found a plot.
I log in to BDO and stare at Waifu's a few times a week but don't actually play.
Log in to EvE Online a few times a month and stare at marketboards but don't actually play.
I'm into EVE right now.
Probably going to give Flight Simulator a try in a week or so. Never really played Flight Simulator but it looks amazing. So many places I want to fly over.
Torchlight 2 and Shadow of War. SoW is very good but it didn't really evolve SoM as much as I would have hoped. I will probably play Vermintide 2 next and maybe try ESO after that.
Lord of the rings online. Hunting, hunting and grinding Lotro points.
Master of Orion-2 (just love my Sakkra fleet: battleships with Mauler devices, titans/doomstars with stellar annihilators).
Tried Istaria: problems with Java (which mmo still uses java?).
Thought about Heroes and Villagers (abandoned after reading some really negative reviews concerning paywall).
If you like MOO2, you might want to look at Interstellar Space: Genesis. It's very similar with a lot of different game decisions to make. Gone is the 'build everything, everywhere' strategy. Lots more tech, and leaders do things other than just sit there and add passive bonuses.
I picked this one up at the Steam Summer Sale, so I'm still learning this one. The one thing I'm pretty down on is the very limited set of racial portraits. If you want to build a custom race, you have to use one of the 6 portraits. It doesn't appear to take advantage of the Steam mod community, so there isn't a convenient mod to add more portraits.
Logic, my dear, merely enables one to be wrong with great authority.
I've been playing Pirate CoH. That's pretty much my story. I keep on telling myself I'm going to reinstall ESO and STO to play those, but at the end of the day, all I have time for is CoH.
At least that was what I was saying BEFORE I saw that SW:ToR is on Steam. I really liked that game, but when I went back to it after taking a year break I was non-plussed by the level of lockout if you decide not to subscribe. I may spend some of my precious gaming time to check that out!
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
Horizon: ZD, SW:TOR and Destiny 2 getting most of my play time atm, with FFBE and Langrisser mobile on android emulator while I'm working (on 2nd monitor).
On the single player front, Trails of Cold Steel is absorbing my time right now. And by absorbing, I mean devouring. I love it.
I'll probably also finish my Ghost of Tsushima playthrough in the near future.
In regards to MMOs, my friend wants to get me into DDO. It sounds like it would be up my alley, so I'll humor him.
What kind of game is trials of cold steel is it an rpg?
Legend of Heroes: Trails of... is a series of JRPGS. Same way the Tales series works.
I'm not sure to what you are referring to when you say "same way the Tales series works."
If you mean that Trails is just a series moniker like "Tales of" is for all series titles, then yes.
If you mean that both are JRPGs, yes. But Trails is a turn-based JRPG series while Tales is an action JRPG. Tales actually has more in common with Falcom's other JRPG franchise, YS, than it does with Trails.
They're also very different in narrative approach. Tales has a few connected games (Symphonia & Dawn of the New World, Xillia and Xillia 2, Zestiria and Berseria), but the general rule of thumb is that its stories are entirely self contained. Whereas with Trails, everything after Trails in the Sky FC happens on the same continent and within a few years (or even a few months) of prior events.
It's kind of like saying that Divinity Original Sin is just like Skyrim because both are western RPGs.
