    Marvel Comics and Marvel Films are vastly different things. The comic section of the company is hanging on by a thread.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I have known several people who would not even do heroic dungeons, as they did not like the 'pressure'. They enjoyed LFR. So there certainly is an audience for it.

    It was a Ravnica constructed event. 5 Games, Two Loses.

    Everquest Mysteries

    I spent a long time solo'ing Nobles in Highkeep. Not-terrible money and relatively easy while waiting for a group spot in an actual dungeon somewhere.

    The Horde city was obviously designed as a raid area first and a functioning city second.

    Yeah. Character studies and information about this came around forever ago... not even good social commentary. Straight up SJW-Modern-Liberal injected cancer.

    And the initial 'catch up' is 385. You can (slowly) upgrade them. PTR guesses point at it taking 2-4 weeks of doing dailies to upgrade them from 380 to 430. No weapons, no trinkets. So... it can help gear alts/new players faster, but it is not replacing raiding/M+/etc.

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    It is a shame, as well. I enjoyed the first part and I loved the second part. If the third part would have been at least reasonable or made some tiny amount of possible sense, I would have been fine with it overall. But it did not and it ruined an otherwise amazing book.

    Absolutely is deck matching. It seems to give you a few random, then starts matching you either based on deck 'cost'/mythic amount or unfavorable matches.

    Playing some craptastic Black Discard/Amass/Zombie deck (Stuck with 500 gold quests, black is the only color available to me that will not complete them). Seeing some... actual success? Once in a while, a vampire aggro or drakes deck will get to speed too quickly, but otherwise is not horrible...

    Class stacking is so extreme in both raiding and M+ right now. Not even entirely because of Soak Mechanics, like we saw with Legion. Just because some classes can ignore most mechanics and out DPS everyone else.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That all depends. Some classes are dumpster fires right now, with no sign of any 'help' until the next expansion - despite their saying they would fix it in 8.1, we will fix it in 8.1, just wait for 8.1. 8.1 comes out 'Sorry, classes are as is until the next expansion.' Many servers are dead...

    So the vault is just ass compared to Hearthstone. First place I have found in the game that MtG:A loses.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    The old, medieval pictures of it get it on point. It feels like something is chewing/eating the inside of your foot/joint/wherever it is (You can get it in your big toe - most common, heel, ankles, elbows, fingers, even knees). I guess burning is close? But burning on the surface, with the...

    Bad kidneys run in the family (thankfully, no diabetes), so lately, as I creep on 40, I am running into issues with Gout in the foot I had busted in an accident. Holy frell. It is the second worst pain I have ever felt. First being passing a kidney stone.

    American Gods

    It should have been a mini-series. 8-10 one hour episodes. The novel itself does not have enough content to stretch it into 3-4-5 seasons. And Gaiman lost his shine a long time ago, so anything he adds to it is tainted.

    You can join when you have the proper item level (I think it is like 340 or 350?) and your faction is attacking. The NPCs by the table will have an orange Quest icon on them when it is available to you. As for the zone, you could try looking in group finder for groups. There used to be plenty...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you 'hate' BfA's gameplay right now, all that is being changed is that the HoA is it's own thing, with a system of glyphs/relics tied to it and it's level. Azerite pieces are now their own thing, with no bearing from your HoA level. No major class changes (they are trying to bring a few...

    MTG: Arena

    My biggest 'bitch' about the game right now is that the Draft modes are... A) Too expensive. B) Not matched to the price of gems. Sealed WAR is 2000 Gems. Closest gem packages are 1600 for $10 or 3400 for $20. I wish they would do it even, but I suppose that is the whole point.

    If you are trying to complete sets, it is for sure. I would probably say MTG:O is cheaper for making 'competitive' standard decks, unless you get very lucky with Wildcards.
  29. Rime

    MTG: Arena

    I mean, cheapest physical standard deck would be a goblin aggro one... they run like $40-60? Better ones run around $120-150, upwards of $300. MTG:O is going to be cheaper than physical magic is, by a big factor. Cards are significantly cheaper (on average) there than they are in print. MTG:A...

    No idea how I got as far as I did into Gold. Unlikely to make Platinum... can hardly get a win, let alone the five-six in a row needed to advance. Netdecks everywhere. Out of the 17 games I have played (Won 3, lost 11), I have seen THREE 'original' decks. One was an Amass Deck, one was a...

    MTG: Arena

    MTG:O = EverQuest. MTG:A = World of Warcraft. Easiest comparison I can come up with. MTG:O has more depth (due to the amount of cards/game modes), but MTG:A is significantly more open to new players, sleeker, and more aimed at user retention.
  32. Rime

    MTG: Arena

    MTG:A has less cards (only Ixlan onwards - they are adding more as they come out), significantly better UI/Coding, no trading/dust system (Wildcard system somewhat makes up for it - but is still rough), you can somewhat F2P it, and Arena has more focused (or limited, as you will) game modes.

    So... just discovered that you get 'rewarded' at the end of the month for playing the ranked style (whoops!). Alternating between W/B Vampires (heavy on removal) and Green (splash of Blue for yummy g/u rampers) Stompy. Rank 2 Gold. Will probably (I hope) hit Diamond before the season ends...

    ^If you have Twitch prime, there is also a Boros deck as a reward this month. (Response/Resurgance (r), Swiftblade Vindicator (r), Legion Warboss (r), Tajic - Legion's Edge (r), Light of the Legion (r), and Aurelia - Exemplar of Justice (m:emoji_nose:. Sadly, no rare lands.

    My computer was so janky, it could not play EQ and a music player without crashing, so I listened to EQ music. So different than today, where the first thing I do in almost any game is shut off the music so I can listen to something else.

    Say what you want about EverQuest, but the loading screen music takes me back more than anything else I have ever encountered.
