Hey Folks! This week Bel talks about his experiences playing Diablo IV Beta and how it is nothing as he expected and mostly Diablo the MMORPG. From there Bel and Grace talk about their experiences playing Last Epoch multiplayer doing the endgame activity called Monoliths. Tam talks about Star Citizen 3.18 recovering from its server woes and how fleshed out the new racing league feature is.

We’ve talked about Battletech by Harebrained Schemes quite a bit but we dive into an update about the current state of mods.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Tamrielo

In this show, we start off as we have the last several weeks with a discussion about the Corporate Collapse Speedrun that is Muskrat and Twitter. We don’t want to talk about it… but each week brand new levels of stupid nonsense keep happening. Bel talks about his mission to document “camps” and gear drops in New World and how he is having to unlearn some of his “Roleplaying Server” biases. Tam talks a bit about Battletech, Mechwarrior, and the mods that are currently available for both. Kodra talks a bit about being “Sudoku Famous” and having a puzzle featured on Cracking the Cryptic. Ash talks about revisiting Tactics Ogre Reborn now that it is actually on a platform he currently can play on. Tam talks about the Star Citizen Intergalactic Aerospace Expo coming up this week and some of the progress made for open worlds and race tracks. Finally, Bel makes a plea that if you are not watching Andor… you should get on that because it might be the best Star Wars to date.

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo and Thalen

Tonight we continue our recent tradition of picking up on topics that we did not quite have time for on the previous episode. First off we discuss our general feelings about “cheating” and by cheating we are talking about relying on guides, maps, and walkthroughs in additional to other more traditional cheats and mods. From there Bel talks a bit about his experiences with Orsinium and how playing through all three factions of the original Elder Scrolls Online content is paying off. From there we discuss long games that have a very clear failure state and how generally lousy that feels when it occurs. Finally we talk a bit about the recent ArenaNet community issues and share some of our feelings about it.

Topics Discussed

Walkthroughs Guides and Cheats
- Respecting our Time
- Enhancing the “Fun Loop”
- When we would not use them
Elder Scrolls Online

- Payoff for finishing all original Content

AggroChat #204 – Zeds, Mechs and Angst

May 21, 2019May 20, 2018 by AggroChat

Featuring: Belghast, Grave, Tamrielo and Thalen

Tonight we are down both an Ashgar and a Kodra… and the intro felt really weird to start with Grace. Tonight we had one of those nights where we felt like we didn’t have an awful lot to talk about… but then wound up running over time anyways. Bel talks about his experiences with State of Decay 2 on both Xbox One and PC and how it has changed from the original. Grace talks about her experiences with the Warmind Destiny 2 expansion that then spawns a discussion about why we feel D2 has a bad attach rate. Bel and Grace talk about how not excited they are for Battle for Azeroth in World of Warcraft, but how otherwise generally awesome the experience of leveling alts has become. Tam and Thalen talk about their further experiences with Battletech and coming to terms with the random headshots.
