From my understanding, every mob on isle 7 is flagged as "rare" and will be triple class on D4. Combined with being red you get maximum mote potential per kill. The question then becomes are you killing at the same speed as other D4s? I know the marginal gains are what power gamers are all...

This is also a great method if you're not strong enough to kill all 4 boss bees in one nonstop sequence. When the second boss spawns after killing the first, that spot becomes his spawn point and he will never path back to the front. At this point, even if you die, you can rebuff and invis back...

If you are any kind of enc or bard combo by far the easiest strat for bee is: invis to back side paci one of the little outside bees from max range - shouldn't draw agro if done correctly and/or range extension focus from through the cog pull the big middle bee which will also pull the other...

Yeah, hard to give up +10 weapons but part of this game to me is solving the gear puzzle. Things like CT gloves instantly rise to bis even if it's not for every class specifically because every class can use it. Same with the kerran neck. They may not be bis for every class or situation but...

I suppose for someone on their first run up to 50 bonus xp is nice but you quickly reach a point where motes are the only progression. While technically motes and xp are completely separate systems it's no secret that leveling on D4 red named is one of the highest mote yields vs difficulty...

I didn't hit my stride really until Kunark so I can't speak to the original original Sky but, really, it wasn't that out of family for those early EQ expansions. Veeshan's Peak and ToV are basically the same kind of raid zone. They went away from quests for gear for VP (epics were the class...

I don't have an answer for you because I'm fully in the nostalgia to separate the two but I'd be curious the answer. I've come across first time EQ players in groups and guild chat and they seem to enjoy things. You have all the benefits of 25+ years of maturity on classes, combat, and systems...

I know we're not the same players we were 25+ years ago but I think they've struck a nice balance of how things were with modern QoL. Admittedly I barely hit 50 before Kunark so I didn't grind the vanilla end game but I'm happy with EQL being a time-locked trip down memory lane. If you've...

I'm sure her version and mine would be hugely divergent but with regards to this movie she's not wrong.

Not only is "nothing on the line" but we don't have any sense of what the threat really is. All we have is Thor's monologue about how this scares him more than anything in the past. Yes, multiverse incursions are scary but we've seen it a dozen times already in Loki, What If, Strange 2, and...

I think one of the problems with the stingers and post credits post-IW is that we've rarely had any payoff. Maybe that changes with Doom but we'll see. In phases 1-3 the stingers almost always led directly into the next movie. Thor's hammer and Capt Marvel's pager being two obvious examples...

We'll have to see how much of the post-Endgame stuff gets incorporated. One of the main problems I see at this point is there have been a bunch of what can best be described as "false starts." The whole Kang situation. Whatever the Eternals was trying to show us. The ending of Multiverse of...

That was probably originally put in to account for marvel/disney kids programming. Marvel owns/creates the animated Spidey and his amazing friends shows that get a lot of airtime on Disney Jr as well as other kids animations that include Sony owned characters.

The Rebecca actress is pregnant right now (and as far as you all know I'm the father). I wonder if that's part of the delay. They managed Beth's pregnancy on Yellowstone but her wardrobe and demeanor is more conducive to hiding that kind of stuff. Beth wrapped in a blanket on the porch is...

I only watched season 1 of Mando and haven't watched any of the other SW streaming shows so feel free to tell me I'm wrong here. The impression I get from reading these threads, and also with the post IW Marvel offerings, is that they lack any kind of consequence to the larger universe. There's...
