    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    I've been buffing in d20 game systems for almost twenty-five years now. It'll be 25 in August. I'm over it. I take Blind Fight at 9 towards the end of the Summer of Bloom. There's plenty of blur/displacement/stealth/invis shenanigans in Kingmaker to go along with the gaze attacks plus it keeps...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    All the Wild Hunt you have to chop through in the last two acts is though with some medusa thrown in. The stuff it doesn't block you only run in to a little and it's all in the middle-ish of the game.

    Same. When I gave Phrecia a try I was short wisdom scrolls a lot during the campaign. PoE2 got me picking up more shit and in PoE1 you can't actually identify all that shit that drops.

    I've continued trying to make something out of the resource finder bonuses on test and haven't had any luck. You need a bonus you care about to appear in a zone you care about at a level range you care about. When the stars align it's more of a pleasant surprise than a feature. I'm skeptical...

    My first run through Kingmaker was a terrible mess. Dealing with all the fey is a lot more manageable when you get to stuff all their fucking "you looked at me, roll a save" bullshit.

    Until Dawn (2025)

    It's fine but I'm not sure I understand why you would go with a death loop premise to then fail to do anything all that interesting with it. Death loops are not novel. There have been quite a few films to tackle the idea. This has maybe half of one interesting idea within that framework. Easy...

    You're looking at it the wrong way. This schedule is obviously constructed to get as many people as possible to play on the actual good server they're launching next year. After going through all the work of tracking down daily bonuses, leveling alts for the Legacy exp bonus, doing extra...

    The system is still very time consuming if you want to track down bonuses on your own but players have an incentive to not share information. People are not going to like trying to use general for bonus info to get spammed constantly. A little interactive page on their website that showed you...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There's a market for MMOs but they're so costly and so time consuming to produce we stopped getting them. At this point if I was pitching ideas I'd suggest buying a dead yet promising MMO and doing a remaster relaunch kind of thing. EverQuest : The Heroes Journey is taking that desiccated zombie...

    It reads like skill ups (which would be stupid) so maybe it's AA exp? Which is still kinda stupid? Resource Finder bonuses are open world and pickzone only (no DZ) so this is basically a blank. I've been fucking around with this and there are some small changes that would help a great deal...

    They've got a financial incentive to hold off as long as possible. Officially it's with the full launch as we're in early access. Jonathan estimated a 65% chance it would be this year so let's shoot for 2nd/3rd quarter 2026.

    Resource Hunter has been activated on the test server. "A short time after entering" is five minutes making it very time intensive to check a bunch of zones. The weight of any bonus is hidden and the pool of available bonuses for any particular zone is unknown. I'm confused why a system of...

    100% viable. Given the quality of the gear the sweatiest guild is going to be in there grinding their face in to AoW's nutsack every respawn. The gear is just too good even if the fight itself blows. Tormax spawns pretty fast so I'm thinking you're just going be in Kael constantly. Something...

    While I dislike the tone of the trailer I dislike the tone of many trailers. They're arranged for mass appeal. That doesn't mean the film matches what was done to edit this thing together.

    Such a generic way to arrange the trailer. I'd hoped we would get the opposite of this.

Bright colors, balloons, people cheering, etc. We see The Major and he welcomes everyone to this...
