I’m obsessively playing guild wars 2 at the moment, and it is arguably similar, in that you don’t absolutely have to grind to enjoy the game. You can get a character to top level very quickly (a few days), and you can gear them up to play a lot of the end game content fairly quickly (exotic gear is about 5% weaker than the best gear in the game and significantly cheaper and easier to get. You don’t have to craft or collect resources to play and have a good time.

So he should have waited til it was at school?

Hopefully not

I’m enjoying it. The story can all be done solo, as can most of the open world content. There are a bunch of group things you can join or leave as you want, and there are heaps of guilds that have regular runs through raids and other instanced group content (I haven’t spent much time doing that stuff yet, tbh). One of the biggest problems I’m having is that coming in now after 13 years (I think), there is so much to do it’s basically a sandbox, so having some structure to follow (like the story missions) is essential for me.

It sure is. Not sure how current numbers compare to other MMOs or previous peaks or whatever, but my personal experience is that there are always players around, no matter where I am, or what I’m doing. The community is also very nice. Always happy to jump in and help another player in trouble, or assist in a quest or event that requires a group to do.

Still working my way through the story in guild wars 2. I played it for a bit a few years ago, then picked it up again in earnest late last year, been slowly working through the expansion content. I’m up to the season 4 content, working on unlocking the roller beetle, which looks like fun.

Oh that’s cool. Hopefully they can do it justice.

Thanks 😁

Those flowers are pretty. Do you have a link?

(Sorry, I don’t have an autism specific thing to add)

I’m having trouble believing that there are people who actually refer to themselves as high value men. Is that seriously a thing?!

You are absolutely correct. It just seems like red bull wants to try and fix their problem by finding a second driver who suits the car rather than fixing their car.
