    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    The difference is, the 2018 Caps was still stacked and minus their previous woes were favorites in every series (they had won the Metro if memory serves?). The Leafs would be facing much of the same (only with a far better roster) than the Habs presently are. While the Habs just finished off the...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    As a Habs fan who only saw the hit live, I take more exception to the fact that, he was a full 2 steps behind and was never going to prevent the goal. Thus taking any shot at him was always going to be a little late -- factor in that he took such a long stride and made contact with the head...

    Wheel of Time

    I just don't understand why they would change much of anything, which is what makes me so uneasy about this. WOT lends itself to the medium of a TV series (much more so than something like GoT), wokeness included, as is. From an easy comparison standpoint, there is a clear protagonist that...

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    Yeah, not sure where the whole idea of Hydra being completely gone makes any sense. Even within this very show Zemo & Bucky exchange that, the reason why Bucky is enlisting Zemo's help is because he suspects Hydra has something to do with it and Bucky knows that, in light of that, Zemo is their...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yup - because that will make the game fun to play. Totally not just frustratingly annoying of preventing you from pulling multiple mobs, etc. The game is nowhere near what it was like in classic and trying to adjust it based on what works in Classic is a recipe for disaster. The solution was...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    My expectations were actually within the post you quoted. Like. The. Mage. Tower. You've somehow confused 'number of buttons' to press with complexity of an encounter. Hint: it's possible to make things incredibly complex, engaging, and fun with far less than 6 buttons.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Got the last boss on layer 8 down to 9% today, so almost done with the place. I can firmly say that, if the intended goal was to make this like the Mage Tower they really, really missed the mark. There is nothing fun or interesting about any of the bosses or mechanics. There's absolutely no...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What class are you playing as? I ask as, if I had started kiting at 10s, I'm pretty confident my DPS would have kicked me. As is if I'm running with competent DPS on 12s (using your metric since I wouldn't pug below 12s) they're pretty frustrated if I'm not pulling multiple packs and standing...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Obviously the DPS life is quite different but I don't hesitate to bail keys and I feel zero bad about it nor do I wait longer than 5 seconds to find a group. I don't run M+ to teach mechanics, just like I don't expect my group to teach me paths as a tank. In the example you're using, if that add...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Honestly not sure if you're trolling here but just to make sure the position is clear: When people are saying that your use of a controller will limit you on high keys & difficult content, we are not talking about a M2. As an example, I just ran a +2 with my 10 year old daughter sitting on the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    As a Veng DH that pugs a lot of +10s - I really, really hate disc priests atm. I literally go snail pace with them whereas every other healer seems to mostly keep up. Tyrannical is also hilariously awesome at watching DPS fail to mechanics (or simply not understand them).

    Yes. I actually really enjoy the game / balance but I have to admit collecting every card came a bit too quickly.

    I absolutely love playing Yasou stun decks. Mine has some minor changes (more stuns rather than recalls) but it's a really satisfying deck.

    Legends of Runeterra - Card game by Riot Games

    Managed to get my vault to 13 before the reset and ended up unlocking 2 champs in my boxes + the token for an additional one. Decent rewards all around. I've managed to get to 7 wins in each expeditions, although this week I lost several versus the previous weeks where I would steamroll through...

    Lost Ark Online

    Most NA players experience about 120-170 ping via VPN. It's definitely noticeable in PvP, especially depending on what class you're playing (Infighter would be almost impossible to play competitively). The RU Version doesn't have a verification at all, so no worries on the reverfication front.

    Lost Ark Online

    All of the dungeons can be cleared easily on hard mode as a solo/duo, including when you unlock additional paths at max level. They do require entry tokens howerver, which is capped at 3 per day (with the ability to store buy or get lucky for additional ones). There is virtually no reason to...

    This is actually wrong. Lancer has been available in the Korean version for a few months, as well as the two assassin classes. They are not yet available in the Russian version however. I'm genuinely curious to see how this game will do in NA. I've put in a lot of time into it (I have 6...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    This post actually has me a lot more confident. Judging by the posts asking to consider a different server at this point in the game, I'm confused if this is people's first MMO launch (you know what I mean). Attempting to switch servers at this point would result in splitting people up as a lot...

    The English patcher still works with all the normal caveats associated with it that applies. You can grab a download drink in the Lost Ark Discord from reddit.

    I mean, not that the other stuff wouldn't also make things better but really, I could live with their shit design decisions if the gameplay would return to being fun.

    Pagan Online - ARPG from the Creator of World of Tanks

    Put in a bit of time on this over the weekend and got to level 30 on two separate characters. Unlocking all of the characters is relatively easy (I got them all minus 1 after a weekend of playing) with the ability to target them via Assassination missions. Not that it matters since Lukian is...

    I was 100% going to skip this and then I got two weeks off work for launch through good fortunate that I wasn't expecting. I played a lot of EQ but haven't touched it since SoD release. Can someone explain if there is a way to get around the true box stuff on one machine or if I'll need to use a...

    I use Exitlag and don't experience this at all. Are you certain that you're not having Exitlag VPN your internet browser (and thus impacting Twitch)? Exitlag should only be plugged into Stove & Lost Ark.

    It's actually been incredibly mild all week weather wise to the point where most of the snow is melted and I see grass on my front lawn. I also disagree about Schwartz's as the go to for Smoked Meat and would recommend Lester's instead (albeit that's a bit more of a journey given where he's...

    Still playing this and enjoying it a lot, although the ping & language barrier has made progressing on Guardian Raids pretty slow. I'd like to be the fly on the wall to understand what type of discussions they're having for NA release timetable.

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Nothing was legit about that game or the manner in which I made the money but this was mostly from multiple accounts using the Guardian Fighter (I think?) bug that allowed me to one shot almost everything in the final dungeon to farm out toons.

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    I made very little off the MMOs that I spent the most time playing. I did make a decent chunk off games where I rushed to max level/end game and sold pretty quickly after realizing there wasn't much there for me. FFXIV: $2000 ESO: $1500 Never winter Online: $3750 Aion: $1700 Rift: $700...

    I greatly enjoy the castle siege & entire cinematic experience that occurs during that part. The amount of things going on that you are actively taking part in is pretty incredible. It's my second favorite behind when you actually get sieged. Whole thing feels very epic.

    Pretty much this. Quinn has been streaming the game for some time without any issues. The moment he put on the English patch he ate a ban because he basically provided video evidence to allow them to ban. He went back to streaming on his second account without the English patch and has had no...

    Yes, classes are gender blocked. I've level'd a Bard & Devil Hunter to 50 and enjoyed the experience both times. This game would be a hit if it launched NA without voice-overs and even a 'meh' translation job.

    Really enjoying playing this, especially with the English patch. With BFA being such a poor experience these days, it's pretty refreshing.
