We also need Zweihander. Square over here sitting on a gold mine

High priority: -Yelinak kill at 50: Western Wastes port. Gonna be hugely useful for batphoning or just getting to raids in general. If people only do one thing, do this, unless you're not planning on doing Velious in-era or something. Mid priority: -Cazic kill at 40 and Lethar kill at 65...

Ya know, after seeing "try jumping" messages at death-cliffs and "hidden door" messages in front of solid walls for THE ENTIRE GAME... ...near the end of Dark Souls 2, in one of the DLCs, I finally stumbled upon an actual breakable wall / hidden door for the first time in ages. And it didn't...

Charayan would probably banish both of us. Not sure what the refresh timer is on the banish spell. I could have one character take the banish while my main runs by and FDs past him, which would put me right at Yelinak, but non-FD classes would have to stand and bang it out with Charayan and I'm...

Well I didn't get to try because in a solo run the Crusaders banish me before I can even get to him. Man, that's annoying. Charayan almost can't be avoided at all, though after 3 tries I nearly pulled it off. Got past him and lucked out, dropped FD right outside Yelinak's room, got hit by a...

I bet Yelinak is soloable by a correctly twinked-out level 50 SK (and probably other tank classes too). I'm willing to try. Feel like this has been answered already, but do people have to be in raid and DZ to get the achievement, or just the raid, or just the DZ?

Wow, it has been a long time since I heard the name Hard Gay. His "anal bomb" match with Mr. Gannosuke is the stuff of wrestling legend. Wait, that was Hayabusa. Damn I'm old.

OGC vs AOS, this ain't

The funniest part was the guy was calling our raid "chaos" before it even formed up, and kept calling it that throughout the evening, while the actual raid happened in way more of an orderly fashion than I think anybody predicted. Hundreds of cheevos and it was impressive how efficiently it all...

Aren't you a leftie? If they're being too obnoxious with the messaging for you, then I imagine they're really alienating viewers who aren't left-leaning. Liberal-leaning riend of mine has been watching this entire series with his very conservative dad for many years now and they're up to...

Agreed that Torrent mitigates a lot of ER's potentially tedious travel, especially Caelid. I think of ER's overworld (everything on the map, plus the underworld) and legacy dungeons (the main big zone in each overworld area, plus unique areas like Caria Manor and Castle Sol) as being the areas...

The comments are hilarious. "So this is for people who main rogues but want to be allowed on raids?"

There was certainly some banging-out of AAs over the years. AAs are fun though. Learning abilities is fun. Farming mounts you're not gonna use and cosmetic stuff, IDK. I went for exactly one mount in WoW, and it was the phoenix mount dropped by Kael'Thas. Once he was soloable (maybe MoP? IDK) I...

He's right, the second half of Dark Souls 1 feels very unfinished. I think they had to rush development towards the end. Think of how cohesive the world is up through Anor Londo and O&S, then compare that to how sloppy and haphazard places like Crystal Caverns and Tomb of the Giants are. Lost...

Dark Souls 2 done. Okay, I was totally doing the Lud and Zallen fight wrong. If you fight them solo, the fight is WAY WAY easier. The second cat joins when the first is at like 30% HP, as opposed to 90% or so if you bring NPC allies. Also they have way less HP. Having NPCs distracting them isn't...

There's a pretty big difference between what I did in EQ and the stuff people are describing doing in WoW. I can't imagine grinding out dailies for rep every day for years and stuff like that. EQ wasn't really about grinding, I'd log on for raids and kill bosses / finish all of an expansion's...

All I have left is Frigid Outskirts and the two cats from hell, then I'm done with everything outside Elden Ring. Maybe I will Souls 3, there's like six weeks before SOTE. Depends on if time permits with the EQ stuff later this month. I've pretty much dropped Stellar Blade (for now) so that...

To be faaaaair, maybe since you were #1 DPS and he was last-place, she figured he needed stat improvements a lot more than you did and was trying to create another useful DPSer. I can't believe people spend their time this way. Played most of the WoW expansions for like one month each and did...

Oh that makes sense. Sounds like something necro and shaman could do more effectively than druid, in any case. Kinda want to try it now. Might do an SK bind rush of a certain epic mob that resides in a certain town and see how that goes with Boil Blood.

Agreed on VP. They did the same thing with Nu NTOV several expansions later. It's full of rare nameds (a lot of dragons that didn't get raid versions, like Vyemm and Dagarn) that are designed for very strong groups and drop really good stuff. Hardly anyone actually EXPed in there on Phinny...

All this talk about Veeshan's Peak reminded me that the Ring of Scale expansion (level 106-110) has VP as its final zone. It functions as both OW group content and a raid instance (most endgame zones are like that after a certain point). This VP revival is interesting because they re-did the...

Wait a minute, I remember this, or at least I remember Leycow and I remember hearing something about this happening, didn't know it was him. I was on the TT server at the time too. Leycow is the guide that showed up and gave me my JBoots after Hasten Bootstrutter ate my quest items (still, to...

By the time I was really playing for real (late 2004) the raid game was totally different and debatably a lot better. As a kid when I played in 99/00 before giving up for a few years, I didn't really get to raid much. I did a couple Velious raids that were kind of a flop as an un-epiced Rogue...

Went back to finish Dark Souls 2 DLCs. Man, these are super tough. I see why I never replayed them after the one time in 2015. Managed to beat Fume Knight thanks to someone putting down a summon sign. Guy with two giant swords with blue fire. I kept dying to Fume's second phase, but when I...

I asked about that after I finished the game and I don't think I got an answer. I'm not sure how the chapter select works. I think the best bet is to just load up the second to last chapter and run around doing everything in that if going for the plat, then start over at Chapter 1 for the Hard...

Not gonna lie, all of this sounds AWESOME. I imagine VP now is a pale shadow of a shadow of what it was then though. Still gonna be cool to finally see it.

At this point I'd hold over Metroid Prime 4 and make it a Switch 2 launch game. This would also give it around 4 more months of development time for them to try and up the resolution or whatever improvements Switch 2 allows. Think it'd be way more beneficial to them as a launch game than as a...

Yeah I'm not sure what they're thinking here. At least single-character people won't have as much work to do to keep up. The one thing I don't like about Teek is that the unlock cadence is a little too drawn-out. Also I'm surprised they still aren't consolidating expansions. LDON should be put...

Hard for me to imagine a time when your epic and all your other stuff would rot if you died in Veeshan's Peak and there was no backup raid available to do recovery. It was like Plane of Fear on steroids. IIRC you couldn't gate or teleport out once you zoned in either (you could be rezzed out...

That's a part of it for sure. Body Snatchers '77 was once my 2nd-favorite movie (probably) and now just gives me a combination of depression and dread. WOTW TV show was so good. Here's a shot from the first episode. The aliens were being stored in barrels at a nuclear dumpsite, and some...

VP medallion pieces can drop from anything in a zone now? How is this the first I've heard of this? That's huge. I assume the Burnished Wooden Stave medallion piece is unchanged. Also the ground spawns are what they should have put on mobs as well, and are what will cause drama, blech. Yeah...

Reminds me of me when I've been on painkillers, I'd bang out a big list of things I wanted to play and just plow them. What I'm playing: Eiyuden Chronicles (good, but kind of plain), Stellar Blade (hot main character, step down from the Fromsoft games I've been playing in every other regard)...

To add someone to a cheevo fight, do they have to be in the raid or can they just be in the DZ? IIRC mercs don't work in a raid setting and I imagine some of these fights are significantly easier with mercs. Wouldn't be able to drop them mid-fight to add people if it's /raidinvite. Every...

IIRC if one hadn't read anything giving it away, Covenant wasn't clearly a direct Prometheus sequel until around halfway through when they picked up the distress signal and David showed up. Up until that it was just an Alien movie that happened to have the same model android as Prometheus. It's...

Body Snatchers '77 hits very differently in the last few years after COVID/Floyd/CRT/etc. It's actually harder for me to watch now because it feels so much like real life. I also watched all of the WOTW show in 3rd grade ish. It coincided with when I got into the Zelda games, so I was playing A...

What are the odds that this will be the secret third movie in the Prometheus trilogy? It looks like it transpires on a space station full of sleeping colonists, there seems to be a horde of aliens, and the colonists were being killed in their hibernation pods. This is pretty much exactly how...

A few thoughts on classics that got remade: IMO The Thing 1982 is probably on the shortlist for best movie of all time. It says a lot that Quentin Tarantino's best movie, Hateful Eight, was heavily based on The Thing and even had the same star and composer. The 2011 prequel didn't understand...

I mean something that'll get wide attention / theater plays that is a major departure from the norm. Not the abundance of arthouse films out there, and they're great, but a big deal movie that might actually change the paradigm a bit and make it cooler to take risks. That's the vibe I get from...

You couldn't pay me to be in RI and most of that is due to stuff from Vaniki. Never played Oakwynd but not surprised at all that things went poorly over there. Nothing personal with anybody but there is such a thing as squandering good will, for sure. All of that said, the Luclin keys debacle...

Really rustles my jimmies that SKs get Endure Disease and Endure Cold, but only get Resist Cold. Makes no sense that they don't get Resist Disease, since their root class does (and Paladin does at 50). Most definitely this was a dev oversight that nobody ever noticed. Every time I look at the...
