    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I think the biggest problem I have with DC is the seeming lack of any cohesive vision and a painful lack of continuity. Marvel took years to move all their pieces in to place before giving us Infinity War. We had characters whose back stories we knew and mostly cared about based on multiple...

    Not Lovecraft in any way but The Keep springs to mind as well.

    I didn't expect them to put pre-nerf drops in. Circlet pre-nerf as well?

    I've played this game on and off for years now and I still struggle with it. My breaks are usually around a year long and each time I return I'm surprised at how much they've changed job mechanics which usually translates to gutting and homogenising them. That said, the most enjoyment I get...

    I'll be honest, I thought the trailer looked amazing. I'm almost scared to feel hopeful.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    Thinking back on epics, which ones are comparatively the easiest in Kunark era? I remember doing a ton of druid and cleric ones for friends and guildies back in the day so assume they were easy but I suppose you need to factor in all the contesting of mobs at this point.

    It's slightly faster but not as fast as say teleporting to Mor Dhona and walking through two doors. And, I mean, I want to go somewhere in Ul'dah so I'll teleport to Limsa in order to get a boat over.

    Oh, I think it was conscious choice to have you run around a zone. They're past masters at using geometry to pad out game time. Anyone who traversed any zone in FFXI will attest to that. Uleguerand Range being a prime example, takes around half an hour to get from the entrance to the top of...

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    Bought this yesterday on the PS Store. Had 10% off on it so picked up the Fate Edition which apparently covers me for the add-on due to roll out which adds around 5 hours of gameplay. I enjoyed this on the PS3 and don't think I'll regret my purchase. Was a fun game with a bunch of hidden...

    That cover reminds of all the old classic Atari games.

    If they wanted to really streamline the experience they should have put an Aetheryte in Waking Sands. That adjustment more than any slight reduction in quests would have massively reduced the utter eye-bleeding frustration of getting out of ARR and into Heavensward.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Yeah, same here in the UK. I found it on YouTube. I'd advocate saving your energy seeking it out though.

    You sir are bang on the money! "Ice cream!" Also, this must be in here. The greatest joystick breaker of all time! Back when games loaded off cassettes (sometimes).

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Putting aside everything I find wrong with that trailer can someone remind me why Burnham is so special? I mean, she's a human who came from two human parents. She was adopted by a vulcan and educated by them. She didn't suddenly become super-intelligent just by being around the vulcans and...

    I was always more of a fan of the Petrified Heartwood Flamberge. But that's probably more because we only ever got one to drop and it went to a fucking cross-server guild hopper. Totally over it. Fuck you Warwolf!

    I'm probably being thick but what do you mean by AA? It's been a while but that earring used to just give a slight attack buff. It was more useful for taking the first buff slot when you went up against bosses that used to debuff you though. You'll want to keep hold of that thing for a while...

    Warhammer Combat Cards - 40K Edition

    The Campaign is worth taking part in. I only came top 46% but ended up scoring a bunch of Tyranid and Tau cards. Next one is Chaos Vs Space Marines.

    Lovecraft Country

    I quit watching this in the third episode at the point where they all ran outside and she starts smashing up all the white folks' cars. Not one shot was fired, not one person raised a voice. However, the show seems to continue to portray all white people, with the exception of one random guy...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Likewise. They're in danger of that poster looking like an EDI statement. Pike having a larger image than Kirk? I can kind of get this as he's in their latest series but it lacks any sense of respect. Burnham isn't even a captain. Where is Bones? He's one of the triumvirate of beloved...

    I'm kind of juggling levelling with Tomestones as I'm at the Singing Cluster stage of my AST relic. If Tomestones weren't a motivator then I'd never touch MSQ ever again. Far faster and less stress for me to Squadron it or just seek by dungeon.

    I did it again tonight. Castrum popped up, both tanks, one healer, and three deeps all "disconnected". Remaining healer runs off trying to solo shit and I just pulled the plug. Seems the tolerance for the shitty exp is rapidly vanishing.

    Black Panther (2018)

    I'm kind of torn on it to be honest. I understand your position and I share it but I saw some report a day or so ago with him visiting kids in hospital with cancer. Made me think whether him sharing his struggle might have provided some comfort to other kids suffering from that awful disease.

    As someone who watched both I can't really hold that against him.

    They already rolled back that claim. Which could just mean Sony got on to them and told them they weren't ready to officially announce that news.

    Warhammer Combat Cards - 40K Edition

    Anyone playing / played this? Up to level 10 on it now and finding it pretty engaging. You essentially build a deck up with a Warlord and fill it with Bodyguards. The former has abilities which boost your deck and/or debuff an enemies deck. Factions so far are Aeldari, Necron,Tau, Imperial...

    I pity anyone doing VT key farming on a competitive server. It's bad enough when spawns are uncontested.

    Has Kerafyrm been beaten on any of the previous TLP servers during the Velious era?

    I'll be honest, I queued for 50 minutes last night on Dancer to try and gain a level and when the invite came through and it was Cast (third day in a row) I just quit out. Fuck that 40 minute run with less than a fifth of a level exp.

    This always makes me laugh with Japanese MMOs. There's little to no communication with anyone outside of Japan and absolutely zero dev discussion. Patch notes etc have to be translated from the Japanese release and yet the Japanese playerbase usually represents the minority. Take FFXIV...

    If it's legit it's around what everyone was expecting. Global launch of November 20 seems questionable though. Any particular reason the Japanese are getting it on the 14th or is this just the usual ROW second-class experience?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    While Prae is a little longer at least the exp is decent. It's generally close to a full level when taking an alt through. Castrum on the other hand is a whole bunch of fail. Yeah, the Tomestones are equal (I think) but the exp is gutted for the five or ten minute difference it takes to run...
