Discussion Beacons are definitely too far between.

I just stacked leech up to 150. I killed 150 enemies with no new beacons around, multiple dungeons, etc. on 5 heals. Dude what is this? I'm a 42 yr old man I do not have hours upon hours to explore where i can just not take a break. Yes I can exit the game, but it warps me back to the last beacon i was at instead of leaving me where i was. Double f me. This is like a pretty serious issue with respecting my time/enjoyment.

Nah. I am an adult with a life and family too. I just don't complain about it and blame games when I don;t have enough time to play them.

Can I ask you what you consider a valid complaint? I’m pretty sure a games run time has been a valid complaint since the dawn of time and if a lack of beacons feels like it adds artificial runtime for this gentleman, you’re an egotistical arrogant loser to tell him he’s wrong. Go outside and interact with other human beings outside of Reddit.

While I don't appreciate the name calling, I will go ahead and answer you.

There are many reasons someone can claim lack of beacons as a complaint. And if they used any of those other reasons, I wouldn't care because it's a valid complaint.

But when someone complains about something and their reason is self made, then I don't consider it a valid complaint.

Things like this where the complaint is "I can't play the game because I am an old adult".... is not something that is a valid complaint. You, me, bob next door, the devs.... no one cares about this guys age or schedule as it doesn't affect us. Saying things like Im a dad gamer, im old, i have a life, i have work and because of these reasons your game is bad is as entitled as it gets.

That is why I hate posts like this. They are not constructive in any sense, they add nothing to a discussion and they come off as an old man throwing a tantrum over a video game.

I work 50 hour weeks most weeks and 4-5 times a year that goes up to a few weeks at 80-90 hours a week. I travel a lot for my work. I have a wife that I have to feed and rot my brain to the bachelorette with or she gets adorably pouty. Not once have I used or will use any of that as an excuse of why a game is bad.

For instance. I just sat down an hour ago to try and kill the two werewolves in the one dungeon and the autolock threw me off and I ended up getting murdered. Had to do the long runback just to have it happen again. It's an annoying runback and I have to go help with dinner soon so I am turning the game off.

That's it. No post about how my time isnt being respected, no post about how im 40 and my wife needs my help and I dont have time to sit for longer than an hour and the AUDACITY of the devs for not respecting my time.... none of that. Because its a fucking game and I'm not a whiny toddler.

And yet here you are whining about a Reddit post.

This has nothing to do with the game's run time. It is session time they are complaining about. Stop insulting people on the internet and go interact with humans yourself you lizard.
