It actually influenced my decision to stick with my mage for main in the expansion owing to the transportation options that mages bring to the table. You would otherwise pretty much have to bind yourself to Oribos in order to facilitate transport to both Auction Houses as well as the different...

There is not. They did add some additional transport options for the 'home' plane of your covenant but nothing as universally handy as the flight whistle.

The cast-from-invis sniper ability is absolutely key for Arcane mages. That plus the Time Warp ability that makes time go by faster and you can AP/Invis/Snipe and then kite until it comes back with accelerated time. You can also stack the 'break jars to get bonus damage' ability and just...

Did not know you can get companions in Torghast, so that was a fun surprise for the adventure table. Also managed to get my first Legendary memory -- but its for Fire spec and I always place Arcane :(

It may be short lived, but I have a serious Torghast addiction problem right now.

It would be amusing if he takes Grogu to Tython and then the beacon is answered by Joruus C'baoth. Most people would go 'who the fuck is this Obi-Wan knock-off?' and Thrawn fans would shit a brick.

It's Lego Star Wars...it is truly aimed at a much younger audience.

... what??? Oh my god...

I'm actually enjoying Torghast quite a bit... It definitely has that Slay the Spire vibe but with a distinctly WoW flair. They clearly spent a lot of time thinking up cool anima powers and such for it...

Are we not talking about All in all I was quite impressed with the episode. Rosario Dawson had a number of the movement tics etc down pat. Obviously having Filoni direct made this much easier, but the half turn head cock at the very end was just perfect. Amusing seeing normies now...

Battle Pets should be at most a 'bonus' World Quest. Having the daily 'do 3 World Quests' but having one of the only 3 active be a pet battle is very aggravating. (Another one was flappy bird...which was irkingly hard to do)

Sanctum and Soulbind are definitely long-haul activities... but if you just want something to do for amusement and like the idea of a constant trickle of progress then its a decent sort of grind.

Burnham is such an insufferable character. Also why the hell did they refit the whole damn ship and not bother to get new uniforms.

The voice acting issue very noticeable. Its cool to hear a voice actor you recognize (Scott Menville AKA Teen Titans Robin as most gnomes and nearly all small cute quirky things), but it gets distracting when the same person voices several main characters. Yeah they have to use SAG/AFTRA but...

Did Glyphs just go bye-bye with this expansion?

Bastion was quite cool and I enjoyed it a lot. Maldraxus was okay and I just finished it at level 58 so I will clearly be 60 before I finish the other two. The story has been mercifully free of Genn Greymane and shoehorned-in faction leaders though I would have thought the Dranei would have...

https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/the-expanse-renewed-final-season-6-amazon-1234839079/ Book reader types -- is there any chance the overarching plot can be brought to some sort of conclusion by the end of season 6 based on what we know is covered by season 5?

Came *this* close to logging in since its T-day and I have the week off.... but it turns out I was so used to using Battle.Net to login that I don't remember my password and so can't toss any money at them since they do a secondary password check. Guess that's a sign that I shouldn't bother.

There is a lot riding on this next episode. It seems that it will be the point where it crosses most fully over with the animated Rebels/Clone Wars continuity and will serve as a potential bridge for the general public and those fans who refuse to watch 'a cartoon' into that world. Mando is...

It helps fuel the artificial demand and lets people think they have a chance even when they really don't. People can't say 'its not available anywhere!!' if you let them put it in their virtual shopping cart once a week or so.

Yeah that's exactly what they were lacking... fishing...

I will admit to having done the Velveeta/Rotel thing for the first time a year or so ago and everyone was raving at how good the nachos were, especially the froo-froo hipster types who normally only eat Whole Foods.

Definitely read Dawnshard before Rhythm of War. You can absolutely get by without it, but it helps to smooth out instances in the first few chapters that would otherwise make you go 'wait...what?' There are still a few of those as there will always be in a story that has a ludicrous number of...

I've been doing the 'spirit realm' endgame stuff. It has the usual oportunities for cool synergies which result in good natured cussing when the RNG doesn't give you the bits and bobs you need.

I just used Demeter turrets plus athena dash deflect and popped around like a cricket on crack while dropping ice turrets everywhere.

Bryce Dallas Howard has demonstrated that she 'gets' Star Wars and clearly picked up a lot from hanging out on set with her dad growing up. I actually want to see her more behind the camera than in front of it now.

Those are blasters not lasers... The idea is that they toss superheated plasma hence the fast-but-slower-than-light speed which also allows them to have a more satisfying 'thump' to them. This is all nerd-geek retcon of course but it helps justify the theatricality.

This is why Im okay with Horizon being delayed until Fall. Plenty-o-time to get a machine by then and possible chance of there being a less hideous option as a bundle.

I predict there will be many new people now watching Clone Wars and Rebels as a result of this season. This is a good thing.

The funny thing about Walmart doing this 'every three hours' thing is that it actually makes it easier for the bots since they get to the front of the line each time.

What the fuck is up with there being ONE 'darkness' spec? Its clearly meant to be more than one since you have to flop to 'darkness mode' to activate it... The whole main story was very redundant. Do some quests and then get super charged with Darkness to use abilities to kill boss. Then do...

I am thinking there has to be a better way to do this... I mean the obvious would be to have your supply chain able to meet the demand. They manage to do this with phones afterall.

The combat has a nice feel. Good dickpunching action. The intro section is waaaay too long, but afterwards you do get a fairly wide choice of iron-man armor suits to select from and the variety in weapons and attacks seems decent. It reminds me of Jade Empire so far.

How many times has it been now that some new Super Kell manages to get the Fallen to all fall-in with them? I feel like Destiny keeps doing this like a bad episodic drama from the 80s where the reset button is hit every episode. Now the Traveller is even back to the way it looked in Destiny 1...

So started a new character owing to the advice above and have done a bit of Beyond Light as well as some quest-y stuff on EDZ. Anywho I think the system might be a bit screwy as I just logged in and had gotten credit for like 3 crucible medals despite having never actually done Crucible on this...

They adding more Gods in the future? There are a few major ones that haven't show up yet....

Ahhh yes the truest distillation of the heroic journey : the quest for luggage.

If you are in an urban area it might be sent via Amazon worker bees directly from the local distribution hub. Nearly all my Amazon packages arrive within a couple hours of 'shipping'

FYI if using GamePass you have to go to the GamePass App, search for Beyond Light and use that to install it to your machine. Otherwise it tries to prompt you to buy it outright when you try to do the Beyond Light required content in the game.
