    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Was wondering why we got so many OW VT targets for free. Makes sense. But nothing you mention really matter for people just playing to experience the content / raid. Having to pay 100 pp for spider silk instead of 10 doesnt change anything for me.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Some type of cheating is tolerated like show eq. Warping and shit will get you shamed for sure. Mossad for example is often mocked on discord for being cheaters.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Does the burden grow because it accumulates or because the initial grind is bigger every expac? Cause if its the same grind every expac, you ll have a subset of the raid group who will keep up with their mirrors every expac. I played till OoW in OG everquest, and the grind wasn't worse in OoW...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I find the resilience of players grinding 55-60 in the same 3 camps on p99 much more impressive. You also point to another key reason why tlp are attractive: boxing. I really dont see myself or my guildmates going back to playing one guy only. The game becomes drastically better and more...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Many people like I would never play on a original EQ server like quarm. I much prefer the more raid friendly TLP experience. I raid up to 6 times a week on oakwynd: VT x 2, Ssra x 2, acrylia and deep. Almost all targets are in DZ.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I sold a couple of kronos at 1mil when I realized there was a guy buying them all. Didn't even know what was going on. I wonder if that's enough for a perma ban. They are usually vindicative.

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    Yelinak without mitigation of the mighty would be pretty easy even in era on TLP. Also, duo yelinak is going to take 1h+, but I guess you can just afk.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Anyone knows if there are bunch of filler/random encounters like in Pathfinder/BG type of games or is it like DoS with mostly quality encounters?

    To this day I still don't get why he got so big. He isn't particularly good at the video games he plays, except for his winston in OW I guess. He is extremely hard to understand, not articulate. His takes are whatever, nothing that really stands out. He is a grinder though, streaming 10h/day.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I didnt hoard at all, I just stopped caring about weapon and used whatever I had, which is a shame cause acquiring new weapons was always a big thing in zelda, and it felt trivial in botw. Ganeplay wise it wasnt a big deal to me tho.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I can't believe they are sticking with weapon durability despite the unanimous negative reception it received in BoTW. Did it affect gameplay in any important way? I just remember it being an annoyance.

    If it's 5 Majora mask level dungeons, I'm happy. If they are anything like the BoTW dungeons, LAME.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    This zelda better have some legit dungeons unlike BoTW. I couldn't care less about open world design, I just want some OG zelda experience with a few twists. Elden ring did it right, the open world design was whatever (unnecessary imo), but the game still had everything that makes soul-type...

    Euh, you misinterpreted what I meant. I'm not saying you should have known...I'm saying you don't have to take my word for it cause it's easily verifiable in case you are skeptical. Don't be so defensive. Again, pvers were never "forced" to participate in pvp. Only world first raider needed...

    2s and 3s ladder is already dead. Anyone can check that with their own 2 eyes by looking at the LFG. Part of it is because of solo shuffle. But solo shuffle isn't working either, since Queue time average above 30min for DPS because of the healers/dps imbalance. Some DPS wait 1h++ for a game...

    Go away? I'm the one still playing the game. Despite blizzard doing everything the whiners wanted for DF, the expansion is more dead than the worst of SL, although this is still early in the expansion life. Even at the start of the season, PvP ladder was deflated as fuck. Removing pvp rated...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Maybe, doesn't mean it is bad for the game. Plenty of activities in WoW I don't like, such as world quests. They still serve a purpose in the game and enhance the experience in ways that are not necessarily direct enjoyment. Alot of PvP-adverse players are just anxious pussies who would benefit...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Wrong, mythic world first raiders were forced into it. Your typical PvErs wasn't forced into anything. If you were an elite PvPers you could get an early max ilvl weapon and have an advantage, which was good and deserved, imo. My very regular group of M+ had only 2 pvpers (myself included). I...

    You mean a vocal subset of the pvp community hated that, like streamers. Blizzard need to stop listening to them. Them complaining doesn't even mean they stop playing the game. Hype and participation goes way up when pve players can bring their raid 2her into arena and smack kids with unfair...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Problem if you do that is PvP dies. SL season 1 had the highest participation and you could get mythic raid from arena (there was also covid lockdown tbf). I think gear should be gear, pve gear should give an advantage in pvp and vice versa. Fuck the competitive integrity of pvp or pve, it's a...

    The Last of Us

    The season was whatever, definitely not a show for me. The focus of the show (human suffering/overcoming trauma) was just never really appealing to me. Had to fast forward both the flash back episodes. Wasnt even about the LGBT, I was just bored to tears.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There is still a decent intersection between M+ and raids, but M+ gearing is almost sufficient by itself now. PvP is also almost completely isolated from PVE. Edit: To clarify with my personal experience. I cleared 20s M+ within the first weeks and got to like 410+ ilvl without ever getting a...

    Shadowlands S2 or S3 introduced the high ilvl M+ upgradeable gear above heroic ilevel. Set, rare items, and trinkets are the only reasons to do heroic raid. It is in line with their new philosophy to make every form of content almost independent (M+, raid, rated pvp). I prefer destiny 2 way of...

    I have pugged every season of M+ since SL. I'm not sure what you mean by gate-keep, most groups are super chill. Maybe it's a "stay ahead of the curve" thing and avoid the pleb at lower rio.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Even on DF release we skipped heroic completely, just go M+ and world quest/rares?. Keep in mind world quest and rares scale with your ilvl up until around 380? Ideally have some geared friends to run some 10ish M+.

    You re the one bringing attractiveness into this. You can be bothered by someone s appearance without sexuality being involved. Imagine she had a big wart on her nose. And people arent bothered by 2 bearded men kissing because they are insecure. It is repulsive the same way watching someone eat...

    Games were good but the acting was terrible. I actually cant tell if it is the acting or just me not liking the characters (esp the two main characters). Too animesque.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Discovered these books thanks to this thread. I was a bit hesitant when I read the first book, it was confusing not knowing anything about the world and the author doesn't have an omniscient narrator or anything explaining stuff to the reader, so it is a big puzzle you figure out slowly. It took...

    Hot are naturally bad at healing grievous since they take time to heal, time during which dmg accumulates. However, some of your spells can clear a stack of grievous on application. For disc pw shield would do that. As a rdruid, my healing is so insane I dont even intentionally clear stacks of...

    heh, the more you play m+, the more you ll like grievous as a healer. At least you have something to heal, instead of mindlessly spamming some filler dmg spells. Idk how rshaman fares tho.

    Ive done mplus up to 20s and I dont see warrior doing massive dmg. Main diff i see as a healer is that prot hp does not move, esp compared to monk and druid. Blood dk and vdh seems ok.
