Also from the patch:

Respawn time reduced to three days.

Can't wait to give this one a try.

Isn't that just for admins?

It was a one-time spell for the son of the main dev.

Rumor has it that anyone can transfer to another server on death, but there's a bunch of messy man pages that contradict each other.

[–] CosmicTurtle@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

I wouldn't trust those man pages. They haven't been updated in almost 2000 years.

games been pay to win since they added indulgences.

That has really ruined the gameplay since it came out

They switched to a freemium model but I don't know how they get away with charging 10% of your total income. Seems illegal.

That game got overrun by cheaters a long time ago.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No shit. The rule book is hundreds of years old.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

You can try the sequel but they reconed a lot of the lore. I mean the lore wasn't very sound to begin with but man the new stuff reads like fan fic.

Do I have to kill IN the church for the bonus?

[–] moon@lemmy.cafe 19 points 7 months ago

Lots of golden lines from this one

Longtime churchgoer Loretta Montgomery is disappointed by her local church’s involvement in the event, “I don’t recognize the parish I grew up in. Just last week our priest took an ad break in the middle of his homily to talk about NordVPN. And now he expects us to say ‘gg’ instead of ‘Amen’? Lord have mercy.”

I wonder if this season will have any good Easter eggs in it. Can’t wait!

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 14 points 7 months ago

Don't let yourselves be fooled guys. He's trying to lure you in with a special offer just so that he can crank the prices up once you're hooked.

You can negate the debuff entirely if you wrap meat in dough. God can't see through dough. Easy exploit

Even Atheist gamers are intrigued by the Moses level value at Judas level prices

Lol, good one

Isn't Islam unironically like this?

I always say that this is why people eat at Chick-fil-A. To get them sweet Jesus points.

Scrub, the Muslims are having a double-XP month with Ramadhan. Although they need to do certain event (fasting) to be eligible for the bonus.

I thought most Christians already treated Easter like it was 4X XP.
