A warrior or rogue loots a fine steel weapon at the dungeon entrance and they regain 60% of their effectiveness on a CR. But for whatever reason we’re gonna force entire groups to do a bank run because butthurt idiots thought a shitty system from 25 years ago wasn’t fair or something. Make key...

The answer is no, those skills are classified as ‘innate’, and stay on your memorized bar after death. The premise is arbitrary and absurd.

Warriors gonna start dropping Taunt and Slam too or nah? Monks FD? Rogue stealth?

No no i think you start dropping your spell book on your corpse at level 8. The spells don’t get deleted from it so they don’t need to be re-scribed. You loot your body, including your book, and re-memorize the spells. The issue is that there’s an expectation you’ve bought a second spell book...

It’s not character, it’s bad game design. Corpse runs are fun. Fighting your way back to your body with a power reduction from missing your gear, while experiencing the anxiety of losing your investment. That’s character. Waiting for your group members to complete a bank run before you can get...

I have heard zero decent argument for forcing bank runs prior to CRs. The system adds zero marginal enjoyment, and is a net negative on the player. The closest thing I’ve heard is that there may be plans for pack animals of some kind that have storage, where you can park them outside dungeons...

Not sure i fully agree, but i do somewhat. Several of the classes (Paladin, Ranger, Cleric, Warrior) have been vastly improved. The worst thing about the game seems to be a misidentification of what made EQ great. Yes, some of the friction present was responsible for the joy we all felt...

Animations will almost certainly be last. I like the models quite a bit.

This thing looks like it’s gonna buy me shots of Fernet and try to finger my bum.

Christ no wonder military dudes are so frequently weirdos.

I see this a lot and I just don’t get it. 45% from above the break on open 3s… 41% off screen movement 3s which leads the league last year… the guy is still a monster and a top 5 movement shooter in the league. Is he still good enough to be a number 2 option making $45mil per year? Definitely...

I don’t know what happened here, but Naji Marshal is a solid pickup to replace him. Absolute dog of a defender that will smother his man full court, and a better shooter and playmaker than DJJ. Dallas will lose some verticality and transition scoring from Jones, but I think this is overall...

Well, all of the Nuggets, Clippers, Pelicans, and Warriors getting appreciably worse this off season should make the west less of a shit show next season. OKC, Dallas, Minnesota, Phoenix, Houston, and Sacramento look like the top 6 squads next year, unless the Lakers somehow land Klay without...

So I just started looking into this, and according to the wiki the spells on the old EQ classes are basically identical. Like down to the level you get them. Is this accurate and intentional? Or are the old EQ spells/abilities just placeholders during development? Was kinda stoked to play a new...

I’m most happy for Luka. Both KP & THJ gave off real bad vibes on the court playing with Doncic. Glad he’s free of them.

The Lakers just said they’re willing to pay him $160mil over 3 years in a new contract… I don’t think Lebron, a man so cheap he brings his own snacks to games and won’t pay for Spotify Premium, walks away from $110 million. The next expansion is still a couple years away.

Unless you’re the Celtics or Lakers, teams always have to overpay for the final piece of their championship roster. They’re likely gonna lose Hartenstein, but this is absolutely a contender 1 through 9. Killer defense, tons of ball handling and shot creation, ability to play 5-out with Randle...

If you can’t tell the difference between shit and gay shit, you’re probably gay shit.

I'm using the term 'gay shit' in a more holistic way than just referring to actual gayness.

It’s just the gay shit that ruined them. Sure they broke cannon with gay shit, but the primary reason is the gay shit.

I wonder if at some point in the future these bloviating YouTube dorks will have the bravery & integrity to say ‘I’m just sick of all this gay shit’ instead of making up elaborate excuses for hating gay shit. “breaking immersion” and “deviating from cannon” give me a fucking break lol

Respectfully, those people were kinda dumb. That series the Celtics were running a center rotation of Robert Williams III and...Grant Williams. That's a far cry from the rim protecting 5-out juggernaut that Porzingis allows for. This roster is a ridiculous puzzle to solve when the J's are both...

Ya I dunno about that. You can only use the tools you have. How do you match the offensive output of a 5-out offense (Porzingis) without an effective stretch 5 (Kleber)? How do you space the floor for your paint scorers without 3-point shooting threats (THJ, DJJ, PJ)? How do you push the pace...

I think Kyrie shot 41% because Boston’s (elite) defenders could sag off under performing Mavs corner shooters, who can’t put the ball on the deck when contested, which allowed the Celtics to clog Irving’s driving lanes and contest at the rim. Their third and fourth options just aren’t...

I’d get absolutely clowned on if I posted this on r/NBA, but the Mavs best move might be to consolidate their 3 end of rotation guys (THJ, Green, Kleber) into a single dominant scorer who also happens to be a distressed asset… Zach Lavine. Having a $43mil salary as your 6th man would be...

This Celtics team is an absolute masterclass of great drafting, internal player development, and asset management. Which other recent champion still had FOUR tradeable first round picks? Unreal.

A lot of Dallas fans are having trouble coming to terms with this.

You can see it. Even aside from his defence, he can’t beat anyone on a drive. That’s unlike him.

This series is exposing for me that the Mavs roster building is just inadequate at the top tier. Too many wasted dollars. Tim Hardaway, Maxi Kleber, and Josh green combine for $40mil in salary, and provide almost nothing on a contender level. They need to move off these guys and consolidate...

Nylon production requires sophisticated usage of hydrocarbons. Extraction and use of which by an industrial level civilization would leave observable traces in the geologic record for millions, if not hundreds of millions of years. The amount of nitrogen an industrial agricultural civilization...

Two days between finals games is so fucking silly

I rest my case

I haven’t seen even a slight bit of evidence that this dude is capable of forming a complete argument with regard to Basketball. If the Celtics shoot 55/40/100 as a team through the first 30 minutes of every game in this series while the Mavs shoot 32/17/75, then Boston runs away with it. I...

Bench production is the story of this game. It’s really nothing more than that. Porzingis got hot and Mavs bench (plus Kyrie) are cold. Celtics took away the lob too. Will be interesting to see game 2 adjustments.

The Celtics avoiding a healthy Knicks, 76ers, Bucks, and Heat, then drawing the 5th seed in the west is wild. Oh and that fifth seed has the lowest roster continuity and lineup consistency in the conference lol. The Celtics have yet to face a single superstar. No KD. No Lebron. No Steph. No...

Luka was hunting a triple double last night, kicking out of the paint for assists instead of hitting open floaters, and the Mavs paid for it. Very typical Luka move to get a comfortable lead and then stat pad assists. I fucking hate it.

If the Mavs team plane crashes in the mountains how long would it be before Luka eats Tim Hardaway Jr?

Mavs have the two best players on the court. Problem is that the Celtics have 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. Boston has also had the most pussified trip to the finals in recent memory while the Mavericks have been mad-dogging contenders with Luka on one knee. Kidd looks like he’s far more competent than...

The Mavs are scary as fuck. Their contract situation is so favourable between Luka, Kyrie, PJ, Gafford, Lively, Kleber, Hardy and Green. They may lose Derrick Jones Jr in the offseason, but they could move Tim Hardaway & Exum expiring contracts and actually GET BETTER. If they figure out how to...

As a scorer I agree - but Dallas neutered his offensive output when they stopped fouling him in the mid-range. Their whole roster got real exposed by their lack of half court diversity, and Shai’s points per minute taking a hit from fewer trips to the line. After watching that series I do...
