The same way transmuting a Blood of Sargeras costs a dozen days of transmutations. It's almost certainly not the primary source of Primal Sargerite.

Assuming Argus the Unmaker is really a codename, rather than the real reason Sargeras came there. Because the alternative theory that's now floated is that Argus was a proto-Titan, like Azeroth, and Sargeras did double dip by destroying a proto-Titan and enlisting some of the most powerful...

You get a heroic ToS chest for this week's quest (4M or M+). Not bad.

Now, that's a nebula that's... looking

Apparently, there's a pretty big easter egg hidden in the middle of the movie. If you wondered why the Chief's presentation to Diana isn't subtitled, and only people speaking Blackfoot can understand it, it's because there's a lot more going on than you realize (beware, the URL spoils).

It is one, but then, you have to fear the transition back to the next expansion's gimmick. Because we're not going to carry those artefact weapons with us. Heck, they've said in their dev interview that our legendaries essentially shut down at 120. No effects anymore.

The next expansion is called The Universal Crusade, and this time, WE are the ones leading the purge of every single trace of void gods so that the universe is finally safe for the birth of Azeroth. (which does sounds suspiciously like Azatoth, one of the lovecraftian old god figures)

At the moment, doing that a bit is useful since you'll want to upgrade your current legendaries (unless they're shit, and you hope for the new ones). I made so many alts because our guild needed to get the class/race combos for achievement (back then), plus I wanted to cover all professions and...

That's part of Genomic Medicine 2025, a large and extensive plan in France to get every cancer patient in 2025 a full sequencing of its tumors, and a treatment that is entirely targeted to its exact tumor mutations, not "generic soandso cancer". (designing the security for the main datacenter...

The liver is a good first start, because it does regenerate. If you can introduce your modified cells, then in a controlled manner depress/kill the non modified ones, eventually you're ending with a liver that's almost entirely your new cells. There's a couple parts in your body that would be...

See an old post of mine where I was exactly describing this. Embryo selection a-ok, but you're not allowed to select based on a number of characteristics. The reason why it's forbidden isn't because we don't know how to do it. The reason it's forbidden is that it's "Eugenics", and Eugenics...

Amazon notified me of the upcoming novella in the Expanse universe. Since they're usually incorporating the stuff from these in the series, it's probably spoilerific, but given the timeline, it would impact the series much later (S04 at least). Amazon.com: Strange Dogs (Expanse) eBook: James S...

The presence of a cash shop is a given these days. The problem isn't a cash shop, it's what its effects on the game are. That's kind of my original point. Maybe you're thinking your game is awesome, and the subscription money is going to keep you afloat for decades. Then, one day (usually at...

Maybe not Old God stuff; she's got enough chip on her shoulder to go all psycho without even going the "lolcorrupted" usual path. Since Metzen left, that opens also some serious avenues. Like having Thrall going up against her because he knows her, and she ending up slaying him, which convinces...

It is when the information you want to protect using secret keys is extremely sensitive, and you do not want a third party to get it. The problem with communicating a secret key is that, if it's intercepted and copied, the information exchanged with that cryptokey is compromised. Quantum...

Perfect transmog, I see :)

I had a look at Space X's schedule, and we have a busy end of week: launches/manifest - spacex Friday: 2017 Jun 23 [18:10 - 20:10 UTC] Kennedy Space Center launch of re-used 1st stage for Bulgarian satcom Sunday: 2017 Jun 25 [20:24:59 UTC] Vandenberg launch of another Iridium block And it...

That reprocessed flyby was gorgeous (seen it on youtube last week). The full flyby has artefacts (you can see the holes in the photos remapped on the full sphere of Jupiter), this one is more artistic. But shorter.

It's now something like 6 hours per level? And yes, once you have AK40, you can insta level any 110 alt to AK40.

I think the level "cap" is the 2nd highest ilvl toon. Getting the Legionfall champion (preleveled to 850) doesn't change your mission mix. People have also reported missions drying up completely at 900, but having only one 900 champion and all others at 895 seems ok.

Sub-based games are very difficult to launch and sustain. Games like WoW are still above the critical mass where they can justify a sub. Almost every game had to bite it, and move to a non-sub model. I probably said that before, but you need to design your game from the ground up as being a...

Also, had flying when I got the quest, so it's not really needed.

I'm using my nethershards as a source of possible xmog stuff that I missed. Apparently, you can get any item from Broken Shore (seems that you only get normal raid difficulty, I think). Alas, when you get PvP stuff, they're not obliterable for pvp currency to buy additional stuff. If you're...

You can do that, but even without, the access cost for space are going down. At the moment, it's in the low 5 figures per kg. 1M$/kg is what it costs the NASA to run an experiment, not what it would cost to run a mining operation. The official cost for a Falcon Heavy launch is 90M$ to launch 16...

One of the advantages of space-based origin for rare earth is that asteroids haven't been subjected to the kind of gravity-enforced separation that affects earth crust. Basically, earth's crust is poorer than average in heavy metals, notably a number of rare earths. Those metals sank toward...

Anything worth going in tiny quantities from space will be rare earths...

The quest yields a Nighthold chest, not a ToS one yet. So the chest will still drop Nighthold stuff.

Rule of thumb is: item with both main secondaries = base, item with only 1 main secondary = -5ilvl, item with none of your 2 mains = -10ilvl. More realistically, download Pawn and it will tell you how much in +% the item is relative to your current one.

Most of the initial theories of system formation was that inner worlds were basically proto-cores for gas giants, except the solar wind blew most of it during formation, so you got small worlds until a "safe distance", where it switched to jupiter and all that. Then, exoplanets happened, and...

At those distances, the sun is merely the brightest star in the sky...

Reminder for those who don't know: on Mars, the sky is pink-reddish during day, and blueish at sunrise/sunset.

One of my old design for an AA system was the Slot Improve system. Basically, when you get AA, you can apply them to a slot, either an action slot (the 1--0 action bar) or equipment. Each AA applied to the slot improves stuff by a fixed %. Buff/debuff last 5% more, does 2% more...

Don't forget the treasure master lottery: - Do the 5-day quest from the goblin lady near the outpost. - Once you've unlocked it, every 3 days you have a WQ of 100 shards for a key with a random 1-20k shard reward (most of the time, I get 500-1500 shards), which lets you get your token once a...

The same as a MMO of a RTS franchise without a RTS.

Have been playing it. Each race plays very differently, between the classic settling, the capitalists (buy outposts, sell them), the space vine treants (send vines to entangle the system, then settle whenever you want as tech opens), the full-on time robots and the vampiric wanderers. Plus the...

And unlocked the Broken Shore. You'll get a quest to get 35 traits once you've unlocked the broken shore if you haven't already done so, otherwise Khadgar will ask you to find something (random drop of any mob) on the shore.

They hotfixed so that the Blood of Sargeras level 100 (no ilvl) mission counts.

I'm more interested in the hippogryph taming ability...

The old one was 100 demons outside of Broken Shores (because you need to "clean up stuff"). This one is 100 demons IN the Broken Shore.

Resonance effects, maybe? The whole idea of an hexagonal cyclone at the pole of Saturn was incredibly weird as well. And when people did solve the flow equations, it was found that it was pretty much explainable.
