This game announced at 2013. Now I'm fat and bald but thank god finally able to play this masterpiece.

While you are in your 24k queue on an EU server here's a guide on how to make pizza dough for a delicious pizza of your choice! Ingredients: 500g '00' flour or plain flour, plus extra for dusting 1 tsp salt ½ tsp dried yeast (not fast-action) 400ml warm water Oil, for greasing. STEP 1 It’s easiest to make this in a standing mixer with a dough hook (otherwise mix it in a bowl and knead on your work surface). Put the flour and salt in the bowl and mix the yeast into the water. It’s always a good idea to wait 5 mins before using the liquid to see if the yeast is working – little bits will start to rise to the top and you’ll know it’s active. STEP 2 Turn on the motor and pour in the liquid. Keep the speed on medium-high and it should come together as a ball. If the bottom is still sticking, tip in 1-2 tbsp of flour. Knead for 5-7 mins until the dough is shiny and it springs back when you press your finger into it. (If kneading by hand, it will take you about 10 mins.) Try not to add too much flour if you can. This is a slightly sticky dough, but that keeps it light and it rises beautifully. STEP 3 Use oiled hands to remove the dough from the hook and bowl. Oil another bowl and place the dough in it. Turn it around so that it’s lightly coated in the oil. Cover tightly with cling film and then a tea towel. Place in a draught-free area that’s warm and leave until the dough has doubled in size. If it’s a hot day, it should only take 2 hrs to rise, but it could take 4 hrs if it’s cold. (If you don’t plan to use the dough for a day or two, place it in the fridge straight away; take it out 3-4 hrs before using. Punch it down first and bring it together on a floured surface.) STEP 4 Divide the dough into 2 pieces for big pizzas or 4 for plate-sized ones, then shape into balls (see Shaping the dough in tips, below) – dust them in flour as they will be sticky. Keep them covered with a tea towel or cling film while you prepare the toppings. (you can also freeze them in sealed bags. Just thaw in the fridge on the day, then bring to room temperature 3 hrs before using.) STEP 5 To shape the dough: If you want to get air pockets and a light but crisp dough, then don’t use a rolling pin. It flattens and pops the air bubbles. (Two days in the fridge will produce the most air bubbles – take it out three to four hours before using.) If your dough is at room temperature, you can use your fingers to gently stretch the dough out. Once it’s about 16cm, place the disc over the tops of your hands (not palm side) and use them to stretch it further, up to about 25cm. You can start pressing out the other discs, then wait to do the final bit when you’re ready to cook. Once you’ve mastered stretching the dough out, you can experiment with other shapes: rectangles, rounds or squares all look authentic. STEP 6 To cook the pizza: An outdoor gas barbecue is best for controlling the temperature, but charcoal will give your pizza a more authentic, smoky flavour. For gas, turn the flames down to medium-low so that the bottom of the pizza doesn't burn. When cooking on a charcoal barbecue, let the coals turn grey before you pop on the pizza. STEP 7 Place the pizza on a floured baking sheet (with no edge) or a pizza peel – this is a flat pizza paddle with a long handle, which makes it easier to get the dough on and off the grill. The flour will provide the 'wheels' for it to slide onto the grill – don’t use oil as it sticks more and won’t transfer as well. STEP 8 Make sure the grill is hot and the flames have died back if cooking on charcoal. Slide the dough onto the grill, close the lid (if your barbecue has one) and give it three to four minutes. The dough will puff up; it's ready when the bottom has light brown stripes. Use tongs to pull the dough off and turn it upside down. STEP 9 Assemble the pizza of your choice – see 'Goes well with', right, for topping suggestions. Remember that less is more, as the dough will stay crisper and the toppings will cook better. STEP 10 Place the pizza back on the grill, uncooked-side down, and shut the lid. Give it another three to four minutes, then remove when the cheese is melted and the toppings are hot. If your queue is still not over you may be obligated to go to the pub for a couple of hours!

I've got my driving license, married my wife, bought a house and a car, adopted 2 cats while waiting for this game since its announcement.

Story? I dunno. Characters? My broom has more character. Classes? Fun. Big sword go swoosh swoosh bam. I played 9 hours on day 1. What did I do in those 9 hours? Fuck if I know. Brain dead, numbers go up, feel good good chemicals in brain. Murder everything in sight. Don't think. Only click. Eyes gloss over text cause nobody say anything important. AND I PLAY FFXIV AS MY MAIN GAME SO DON'T FUCKING TELL ME I CAN'T READ. Run, jump, kill, mount, talk, kill again, mount, kill, mount, kill, loot. Why am I doing this? Why am I here? Just to... Edit: People angry at me for not liking game. So I reinstall to put more 9 hours in and bring another schizo review. I pick up big sword again and go kill. Always kill. It easier when just kill. I don't listen anymore. I just stare at people until they stop speaking or tell me who to kill. I find every problem in world can be solved with copious amount of big sword smashed to face. Then angry king come to face puny king and... Wait... what is this? I feel my sanity returning. A siege? My word! It is... it is BEAUTIFUL. So many soldiers! So many set pieces! The camera work is sublime! The soundtrack inspiring! The choreography blood pumping! I feel alive! These past hours I have been... lost in my head, a prisoner in my own flesh! Yes, I am awake! And from here on... wait... no, no, no! NO! Not again. We were there! WE WERE THERE! IT WAS GOOD IT WAS GOING SOMEWHERE! PLEASE DON'T FLUNG ME BACK INTO THE ABYSS AGAIN. NOT THERE WHERE IT IS COLD AND SILENT WHERE EVEN MY THOUGHTS TURN TO DUST! I DO NOT WANT TO BE A MINDLESS DRONE AGAIN! I.... What me saying again? Dunno. But feel like something broken inside. Anyway... back to killing again. Grunt got no time to think, only kill. Smash sword to face nice and good. Feel like I forgetting something...

K-pop Diablo with better multiplayer and endgame.

i like the quests where you pick things up and put them down

Cover outside of cake with 3 cups of the chocolate frosting. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings and top which dollops of whipped cream and cherries as shown.

I played the game for 445 hours. I had fun playing the game. I purchased multiple founders packs, even purchased the vanquishers pack because I was enjoying the game. One day I went to log in and found I was banned and the only information I had was a "Code of Conduct" violation. I submitted an appeal and after 4 days heard nothing back. I submitted another appeal and was informed that my account was commerce locked for refunding a founders pack and that the ban would not be lifted. I checked my purchase history to confirm because I didn't remember refunding a founders pack and I have no refunds for Lost Ark. I appeal again and am told the matter is closed and no further responses from AGS CS are warranted. I look at the forums and find that people are being banned because they purchased skins on the in-game auction house from people that later refunded their founders packs. I was banned because someone else refunded an item after they sold it on the auction house because the skin I purchased and equipped is linked to an account that was banned. AGS is the worst gaming company I have ever worked with. They were horrible at managing New World and now they are completely botching Lost Ark. I will not recommend ANY game that AGS is involved in. Update May 1, 2022. They finally removed my ban by sending an alert saying it was an incorrectly applied ban. AGS is absolute trash.

Talk to this Talk to that Kill this Collect that

Leveling sucks but boy do I have nice tits.

Could you pick up this box and drop it 3 metres away please? *26 Hours game time later* Every NPC is starving. I've done 5+ quests where I am feeding the indigenous populations of Arkesia. I've put this on my CV and applied to be a volunteer at UNICEF. I fly out on Friday.

It sucks that they're the publishers because the game itself is really great. The graphics are nice, I generally enjoyed the story line, and was enjoying the horizontal gameplay. It's just sad that this is happening to innocent players. Take this from an avid player who tried her best to contribute positively to the community: Save yourself the heartache and don't invest as much time into this game as I did, only to get abandoned and treated as a criminal and a number.

It is a good game that will help pass time until Elden Ring comes out.

If Diablo and FF14 had a baby but BDO is actually the daddy.

Before I played this i had a small penis, no girlfriend and no will to live. None of these things have changed, but the game is pretty good.

Do you like playing Lost Ark? Yes...........yes..............yesyes.......... yesyes.....yes.....yes................yes.. yes....yes.yes....yes...................yes. yes.....yesyes....yes...................yes. yes.......yesye......yes................yes.. yes...........yes..............yesyes..........

my gf broke up with me

I spent 56 hours in this game, got to "level cap", got to their dungeons and raids (paid for the $100 platinum preorder pack). This game is the epitome of abusive videogame designs. It has at least 10 currencies all of which are used throughout the game, earned in different ways, and utilized for distinct purposes. It has at least 5 systems of "collectables" that must be collected in their entirety to get the best reward. At the same time, the game intentionally gates the player from hitting higher content by requiring a "gear score" to proceed. "Gear score" is gained by "honing" your armor and weapon, that process costs some of the special currency, and isn't actually a 100% chance to succeed. This currency can only be obtained in the dungeons.. which is fine - their dungeons are fun! However, you only get loot the first two times you finish a dungeon in a day. You can continue running the same dungeon more often than that, but the loot you'll get will be ultimately miniscule. The only way to get this currency then is to make a full account of alt-characters, get them to "level cap" and run two dungeons per day on each character just to "funnel" currency back to your main character. ... ... What's that? ... Don't want to do all that? ... Oh just buy all these currencies from the shop for crystals and crystals can be purchased with USD right here in-game! ... Anyone still playing this game is willingly subjecting themselves to an abusive significant other.

Noone reads the comments, so I will write that I am gay

It's free, so it's good. I wish I hadn't bought the 14.99 founders pass though. It's just a very fancy mobile MMO. > Story line might as well not exist, it's incredibly boring and unimaginative. > The zones (are very pretty) but completely forgettable and VERY narrow feeling, with names I will never remember. The hitbox size on in-game assets makes the world feel plastic. > The mobs in the world are basically there for decoration, they have 0 lethality or threat, and usually come in packs of 3-6, they don't aggro well and move slowly, so gathering a massive pack is not easy. > Monsters reward 2 xp per kill, and turning in quests is about 4K xp, making monsters even more irrelevant. > There are about 20 different UI menus, none of which have a similar theme or are organized the same way. Each menu, has submenus, all of which look and function differently, making it feel cluttered and meaningless. > Within the plethora menus, you constantly have notification icons (little red dots) to go click on and clear, hundreds over the course of 8 hours. Each time making it feel less important to care about what they even are about. > Every single NPC you talk to forces you into a mini-cut scene with them, and you MUST click "G" for proceed through every sentence they say. Rather than just something more traditional, like clicking on a NPC and having one big text box appear that you can read and move on, without being forced into a mini-cut scene with them that sort of makes the rest of the world disappear around you. > Every time you talk to a NPC to accept or turn in a quest, you have about 6-8 lines of chore-like forgettable text to spam "G" through before you can escape their clutches. > I tried following the story, it's just so boring that I was actually falling asleep and had to stop reading and just try to get to the next combat. > I didn't have to pay attention at all, not once did I have to read or look up the quest I was on to complete it. I just ran to the marker on my map and clicked on whatever was there with the quest icon over it, or killed the mobs in the zone to complete the quest. > If you think WoW quests are boring, these are worse than or on par with Black Desert Online. > The armor / gear in the game might as well not exist either, they should just ship you a new set of armor every 5 levels. Every item has the same exact stats on it with very little difference, a level 1 sword will have the same exact stats as a level 30 sword, just higher, and the model of the sword will have changed twice over the course of those 30 levels. > I stopped doing secret dungeons, it was just a hassle to have yet another reason to run around the map. They have no scaling difficulty and have 1 boss soon after entering it, it's a small quick loot grab. > I encountered a giant world boss. It was an awesome experience the first 10 minutes into the fight. But at about 15 minutes I then thought, "wow, okay I'm bored now of killing this thing.". The sword that it dropped (was the same model and color as mine), but was massively better - and lasted me about 5 levels before replacing it. > The solo dungeons you do during the story have Normal and Hard difficulties, I can't imagine doing them on Normal, I did them all on Hard and they were quite easy. Bored of solo-ing the hard mode dungeons, I did one with a group but the difficulty didn't seem to scale with how many people we had in the dungeon. It's an alright game. I played 8-9 hours expecting *that moment*to come along where I saw the big reason behind the hype, why people love this game or what makes it addictive, but I never found it. Lost Ark is incredibly bland, it's a very fancy mobile MMO. I don't hate it, I don't even really dislike it, especially since it's free - I just don't get the praising or hype yet, I will continue playing until that day comes.

Great game, but then Elden Ring came out.
