I haven’t played that game in a long while. I don’t want to admit how many 99’s i had… (5) what kind of micro transactions are there?

You think that’s bad? Look at the geniuses who made this pointless waste of server space.

Mostly just cosmetics like different skins for your weapons, some new taunts and new pets

Wut.

Aiming to drink a half a gallon of water a day.

I’m surprised people read what I wrote last post. [O_O] I got carried away and only talked about a bit. But yeah, I knew the day would come when things would change. We knew that, but I didn’t expect them to have gone the way they did. However I feel the forums are better now than, say, a few months ago. I’m also surprised at the thanks I got on that post. I suppose I overlooked some good stuff from now. I’d like to be comic 's friend but I stopped making new friends.

But now… someone got shot near where I live. Two shots were head apparently. I took pictures and stuff but nothing much on my end. I heard from other people. Apparently the shooter was in the building complex thing. Might still be there. The street is blocked. There was a man on the roof apparently. Parents saw a man on the ground, and two men seeming agitated. Police went in to search, at least one witness and his dog were taken to this police place. The witness didn’t really want to go. I also had a beautiful bug on my shirt. I saw a news post on Facebook about it. I saw how the police did their jobs and stuff. I’m back home now.

That progress!

Today’s drawing is going to be this massive battle command sphere, like a Dyson sphere, but made to carry a bunch of stuff and make.

I just happened to browse through gamestop b/c i really miss Flight Simulation games, but hopefully ACE Combat or any other game similar yo it gets released on the ONE. Even if it were an Reboot to Red Baron or A-10 Warthog back on the PC.

I should include Mechwarrior 31st Century Combat if anyone remembers that, :slight_smile:

Anyone use the RT forums or site at all? Trying to get familiar with it.

Nice job, what are you working on?

> Anyone use the RT forums or site at all? Trying to get familiar with it.

I use to, about 3 to 4 years ago, then i quit b/c of the “rude” crowd, tbh. But overall, it should be alright.

Rude? How so? I’m just trying to get more involved with that community and even try creating content at some point with my buddys. No idea how to really get started.

Nah, it was rude back then, b/c not to many staff were going around and answering reports, but now, its better. Im not trying to say it sucks though, :D…

Now, you got me going, that i may end up going back there, lol.

So, OT folks, up for another astronomical riddle?

Since waypoint is the only forum I’ve ever been a part of, it’s weird trying to get acclimated with a different one. I’ve just been really getting into Rooster Teeth as a whole for the past year.

I think its time for me to do the quest ‘Blood Runs Deep’ in RS.

I’ve been pushing it back on my to-do list for way too long now.

I see what you mean. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it. Hell, look at me, I’ve ran over 8 to 9 different forums, and been around waypoint, pso, ssb, and mlp forums, but i got accustom to it quickly :D. Its pretty much the same thing, tbh, only thing is its a different environment.

I’ll try and make it simple.

There’s a store called Solomon’s General Store which if for purely cosmetic items which is absolutely fine - has zero effect on gameplay.

There’s then this one called Treasure Hunter - each day, you get two keys to unlock chests and you will receive a random item from a chest for each chest you open. You can get cosmetic items, XP boosting items and at one point, items which became discontinued later on - meaning people could make millions of in-game money based on pure luck.

The issue with it is - you can buy more keys with real world money and essentially pay to win. When it originally came out, it was essentially a wheel of fortune with random items and XP lamps that you could win. Some guy bought 75 spins and recorded a video of his results.

You could literally keep buying keys, get XP boosting items and reach max levels easily.

Players absolutely hate it and its a model which is widely frowned upon in video games.

Well, the quest was…A disappointment.

And it being the final quest in the Fremennik saga makes it so much more disappointing.

I just hope Jagex won’t -Yoink- the the return of Nomad.

Ooooo… very nice improvement. :slight_smile:

And what you said you’re working on today… that just sounds awesome, and I haven’t even seen it yet.

EDIT:
GASP I accidentally got page 212! It isn’t 1212, but I ain’t waiting that long! I think I also own page 112… I so proud.
