this is just me procrastinating on my uni exams in a few days but since i revived this thread accidentally i might as well say that i think the game is the best it as ever been atm, and i cant wait for the realm rework that will probably come out next year.
People hate discords but without discord runs what would happen? What would happen if a magical event wiped discord of all servers related to raiding in realm and removed the memory of them from all realm payers minds?
somone would create a discord, or some other platform page, to organize cleaner, safer and more efficient runs. Only it would have the pages of info about strategies, phases and general advice like the shatters discord.
i got into discord raiding when i joined a guild, it was super chill and friendly and the leaders where friends with the leaders of other guilds who were friends of others. There was a discord that anyone in the guilds or their friends could join and we all just did runs of every thing, sure there were reqs you had to meet on everything but o3 and events but it was chill. now we have public discords like holy cru, dungeoneer and even null now that dont care about reqs for half the stuff they do, i think that discords are getting healthier and healthier.
im not saying discords dont have problems, i was running around on a priest upe with manor wand and lean crown thanks to discords, i died the same day i got it to sitting mid in a steamworks, you could chuck a fresh level 20 blue star into any discord cult run with an rl or a guiding player and they would complete it, but if you removed keys and the same group pulled up to a public sentry the same thing would happen except like o3, griefing would common place.
ummm idk where i was going with all this, i love the game and think it is getting better, im still salty about the priest death, im an idiot, bye
