Yeah I farmed mine just before the last Voidwatch campaign.
Campaign doesnt affect that fight though
Thus the 'before' part of what I said.

That being said, kind of wish the zone wasn't as dead as it is. Poor provenance watcher is such a cool boss to be rotting away.

You're still not understanding, unless you were just giving a timeline of when you farmed it, but I have no idea why you would say "before the last campaign" opposed to "X months ago". The voidwatch campaign does not affect Provenance area fights.

And before anyone asks what I asked the UK squad a few weeks ago to something similar, let me answer that well in advance: no we are not good here, at all.

I've finished the first editing run through, but its slow. I suffered a deep personal loss in December that sapped my desire to write. Fortunately, the manuscripts are done for years worth of releases. And the next few books are much lighter in tone than the last one.

The problem with that theory is that Wuchang was not a quality game by any stretch of the imagination.

Another quality take from vici “I made it the *** up” ousss

72% on steam. 6.9 on metacritic with a lot of 0s review bombs being factored in.

https://www.metacritic.com/game/wuchang-fallen-feathers/user-reviews?filter=Negative+Reviews

First 20 I see here
9 0s
2 1s

Over half of the negative reviews were 0 or 1, I will assume this pattern holds throughout. The people ranking this a 0 or 1 didnt play the game.

Next 20
6 0s
4 1s


The only reason to rate something 0 or 1 is to make baseless review bombs. I wouldnt even rate Outlaws or Shadows that low even with valid justifications over how buggy they are or how *** the artwork is or how *** the gameplay is. But thats still a 3 or 4.

Wuchang was trash when it released. I don't even think it sold a million copies. Bug infested, frequent crashes, not worth anyone's time. The developer went out of business.

Waiting for a sale? what kinda brokey, librul, foodstamps idea is that?! Get every game on day 1 or you're just a casual. If you aren't buying a new car every time your tank runs out of gas, you're not automobiling properly either.

If I put out a product that only moved once it was at 50% off (or free in this case), I wouldnt make that product anymore (unless I was funded by BlackRock and/or Vanguard to send a message but thats something else).

As far as Brokeiciousss goes, hes said multiple times how “hes so excited to play X, but will wait for a sale”.

I really don't understand your retort. Groceries go on sale, but they don't stop making those products. It's a video game. I'm not paying $70 for something that will all but guarantee go on sale for $30 or less eventually.

In this case, its a good thing that a Chinese developer went out of business. Turns out, I don't support China. And I got a good laugh as that whole craze of "Chinese devs are taking over" died a glorious death. The first failure was Wuchang, the next few have already been forgotten. Lost Soul Arise, maybe that was the name? The game that that idiot RadialArcana was hyping up. Absolute failure. Just stick with gacha games for the CCP, that's all they are good for.

Paying full price for a prerelease or game that hasn't been thoroughly reviewed yet is silly and props up shovelware studios.

Paying full price for a game you actively want to support (or from a developer you actively want to support) is fine. Some people need to do it for them to stay in business.

Piracy or waiting for sale is the smart thing to do from an individual standpoint. But, it's kind of shitty if you truly enjoy specific games or developers. Still, consuming the latest mediaslop the second it comes out isn't exactly a virtue.

I dont pre-purchase though


For ***like this, the only way you can vote is with your wallet. If everyone (key word here is everyone) waits for half off / freebies, there will be no more devs making quality content. Youre gonna be stuck with the Concords, the Outlaws, the Shadows, which is significantly worse than shovelware.

One does not need to support any politician or party to not support China.

One does have to give up buying a LOT of stuff to not support china though.

And a certain someone should delete their political post.

Nope
Not my fault he says the same thing. He should probably refrain from trumpeting out such bigoted things about China. Get it? TRUMPeting things out. I crack myself up.

Inverse is true as well
