Wintermute, is the portable aether vibration amplifier working for you? Every time I've tried to play a stream nothing plays, just the initial tuning in static noise.

BTW the main map feature is integration with sotamap.com.

With regards to the combat system, the initial setup is a typical hot-bar style affair but you can, and should, be using the dynamic style card system instead of the fixed hot-bar as it is not only faster but it also allows you to combo skills. But I do understand as I still use the initial setup because it's what I'm used to and can't be arsed to change it even though I should.

Key reseller G2A is being told to clean up their act, or lose AAA publishing deals

Quoting: Eike
Quoting: nitroflowJust want to point out that there is such a thing as virtual credit cards that you can create at will for online shopping without the need to even own a credit card(a debit card will suffice in my country). Not only can you do that but you can create single-use and multi-use credit cards. I realize this is not available in every part of the world though.
Do you mean like Paypal? Do you have example providers of such services to look at?
In my country(Portugal) there's a service called mbnet which most banks have a protocol with(mine only established that protocol a few years ago after being acquired by another bank) that you can activate through an ATM(thus being associated with a particular card) and you get a printout of your login data to the site mbnet.pt. After that you just go to the site and create a virtual credit card(visa) that you can use anywhere. You can create a multi-use credit card, so-called "merchant card" that becomes associated with a single merchant the first time you use it so it only allows payments to that specific merchant. However, some stores that use a third party like Stripe for example to do the payments you can't use that type of card because of that lock so you have to create a single-use card for every purchase you do.

EDIT: after a quick search I found this for Germany https://www.deutscheskonto.org/en/credit-card/ [External Link]

The only reason I own a tyon, a ryos mk fx and an arvo is solely because of his wonderful work. I wish him the best and hope someone steps up to the challenge of maintaining this project.

Quoting: liamdaweI don't get why using games as an escape mechanism has any relation to what gender a made-up character has.
Take a good long look at black desert character creation then :P
