+10 tries later I wonder if they patched it outIn case you missed it :
If you beat Cyrano Story, a free game by Alice&Smith (The Black Watchmen, Nite Team 4...), you can win a key for Moons of Madness :
You may need to try a few times (got mine after 2 runs) before getting your key.
Game is hard, way more than their previous games, but if you don't want spoilers, don't like this post, you'll see the walkthrough

That game has the friendliest community I've ever seen in an MMO short of Wildstar, but the 1.5s UCD just killed any kind of flow I could have gameplay-wise.I reinstalled FFXIV due to the free weekend to just chill and look around, and I was immediately greeted by a group of lalafell having a concert upon login.
The game is so packed with people, and people are just chilling and chatting. Good times ahead.
Watch out tho : some players reported that they are getting The Black Watchmen or NITE Team 4 instead of Moons of Madness (already got both of them so I had no chance that may happen).+10 tries later I wonder if they patched it out

No, you can definitely still get Moons of Madness.
Never said you couldn't get Moons of Madness, just said you MIGHT get the other games insteadNo, you can definitely still get Moons of Madness.
I just got a copy on my third try.
A patch was released earlier, and they added a couple more games to the giveaway.
I'm really happy I managed to get a copy of Moons of Madness. It's a game I wanted to try.
Oh, I understood.Never said you couldn't get Moons of Madness, just said you MIGHT get the other games instead
the thirst is real
hey now, i never said it's a bad thingFREE GAMES YOU HEAR ?!?
It's now patched, yes. Only one try per account. And other games got added to drops too.+10 tries later I wonder if they patched it out
Me neither, that was my exact state of mind when I started Cyrano to get Moons of Madness for freehey now, i never said it's a bad thing
Same, I really like the Secret World... world and lore.I'm really happy I managed to get a copy of Moons of Madness. It's a game I wanted to try.
These guys have my money for whatever they release.
same! can't wait ... the first one is SOOOOO GOOD!!!These guys have my money for whatever they release.
Awesomely run kickstarter campaign, awesome post-launch support, really top-notch team.
too bad it's mobile trash
Yeah no kidding man :LUL:How I feel now that I managed to snag a copy before the patch:
www.pcgamer.com
There's probably a bug, since I finished the game again, got a message saying I got a copy of Moons of Madness, pressed to start again on the main menu (I was going for the achievement for completing it 7 times) and instead of re-starting the game, I simply got a different key (it was for The Black Watchmen). Did the same again, and I got yet another different key (it was for NITE Team 4 - Military Hacking Division).It's now patched, yes. Only one try per account. And other games got added to drops too.

The second half sort of makes we wish that there was a first person Jurassic Park Horror Survival game (is that Dino Crisis, if Dino Crisis was a FPS?)
The order is always the same, but they are not next to one another in the "map".
There was a KT sale a bit over a month ago. Golden Week at the earliest, probably a 50/50 chance for that, otherwise summer sale, I guess.
Try again.Well damn, did the Cyrano Story in one try but didnt get any game.
IPS is great choice imo. I didn't even give thought to VA when I upgraded my monitor this year.Ask PC Gamer: TN vs IPS displays - which is better for gaming?
The two monitor technologies have been going head-to-head for years, but who wins in the TN vs IPS gaming debate?
Does this still ring true? Feels like IPS has gotten a lot better and affordable over the years.
I wouldn't feel worse for chosing it.
It took me several tries to get something.

This is the first time I've heard about VA burn-in.
Yeah. When I started the game for the first time I had "continue" available already so I went with that the first time.
I have a 400$ TN/144hz/1ms display and a 100$ IPS display recently purchased to use as second monitor. Image quality is miles better on the (way) cheaper IPS monitor to the point that I now regret purchasing a TN display for two feature I barely use (and planning to replace it). So, if you don't have an unlimited budget, I'd say it depends on what kind of gamer you are. Do you play competitive FPS games at a pretty decent level? Then you'd probably still have to go the TN way. In any other scenario, go with an IPS monitor and you'll get a much more pleasant display too look at and feel little to no difference in your daily gaming use when it comes to performance.
Weird, I never got that message.When you start a new game, do you get this prompt?
I think you need to finish the game in less than 79 seconds.
Oh I totally understand that. The way you're playing it is how I would if I were recently starting up too. It's the best way to experience it for sure.I want to experience the base game without having so much content be, for a lack fo better words, broken by the expansion. I deliberately do not use the guardian armor in order to have that experience. I'll get Iceborne when I'm done with the base journey
Iirc it was one of Samsung Ultrawide VAs, I did google at time and there were some other reports. (And yeah that was my first time hearing va burn-in too.)That's pretty accurate.
All 3 technologies have gotten better and more affordable in various ways over the years, but the basic strengths and weaknesses are still the same.
This is the first time I've heard about VA burn-in.
I use a VA monitor as my primary display (and have for over a year now), and it often runs literally 24/7 with a lot of static content in some parts of the screen. This must be an issue with specific VA panels only. (Rather than inherent in the technology to some extent like with OLED)
The reason I have a VA monitor is that personally I hate black levels on IPS. To be fair, I even hate black levels on VA, but at least they are 3x as good
But really, there is no monitor technology right now that is without pretty noticeable -- to me at least -- tradeoffs. Maybe IPS with extremely fine-grained local illumination can get us there. I've almost given up on OLED for general purpose, heavy monitor usage (i.e. not just media consumption).
I'll say the same as everyone else: it's pretty much true today except for one thing.Ask PC Gamer: TN vs IPS displays - which is better for gaming?
