    Thanks for the links guys, getting excited to try it out. I don't know diddly squat so even something like priming is new to me. The paints listed in the GH video seem super specific....is there a best place to order them from? Or can you find them even at your local arts/crafts stores like...

    Kickstarters

    Yeah I've never played any game with minis before Gloomhaven. and Gloomhaven isn't even a mini game. But since I've been spending time on Reddit/BGG I've seen some of the neat paint jobs people have been doing on the GH minis, so I am tempted. I looked into getting my minis painted by someone...

    So I just found out about Tainted Grail, mainly because of my Gloomhaven addiction, decided to check on this board and of course you guys already knew about it lol. Put in my pledge today. I did similar to Tarrant, I got the Core in Sundrop, which I assume means the minis are painted in the...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah it's all very overwhelming, I can imagine how it is for brand new players. I recently restarted this game on PS4. I used to play on PC, the last time was when the game expanded from 4 acts to....8? I don't remember what league it was. A few years ago. I missed out on the Beastiary...

    The Division 2

    Imagine if they put a MAGA hat in game. They could literally be printing money! Social backlash would be too much of a headache though, shame.

    Excited for the PC version, should be a fun diversion. An update on our campaign, we are over a month in. We should be hitting level 3 this weekend! Town Prosperity is at level 2. We had a little change where are cragheart decided to go with spellweaver instead, and she has been happier...

    Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (From Software)

    So, I'm a huge fan of the Dark Souls series. 100s of hours spent in them, bought all 3 games, then the new trilogy expansion. Platinum'ed Bloodbourne. HOWEVER.....I didn't enjoy For Honor at all. The reason I bring this up is because I didn't like the game mechanic, which was kind of like a...

    The Division 2

    I don't think so. If it's anything like Div 1, then there will be daily and weekly missions having you do the same invasion missions over and over again. For those newer to Division, I would say as a piece of advice when you hit 30, you will see how the game (map) completely changes. Don't...

    The Division 2

    Hit level 30 last night, was taking my time finishing up all the side quests, bounties etc before doing the final Capitol mission (epic btw). While I was finishing up the side quests I came upon this additional side quest out of the blue, which was really interesting. I hope it leads to more...

    The Division 2

    The game is semi-gated with regard to loot. So from levels 1-10 it's green stuff, 11-20 it's blues, 21-30 purples, then you hit level 30 and get majority yellows, with the occasional "rare" drop outside of it's level tier.

    The Division 2

    Yeah the world feels a lot more alive than Div 1. I love the random things that happen when you are running to objectives.....in Div 1 I would just match-make from the map, but this game rewards exploration. Funny seeing your NPC allies fighting off one of those juggernaught dudes. Also the...

    The Division 2

    Thanks for the heads up. That's a shame, pulse was one of my favorite skills in Div 1, almost essential for DZ, and was definitely a skill at least one person in each group should've had. Hopefully they fix it to make it useful again.

    The Division 2

    @Utnayan I added you to the roster, also added myself. Only got the normal version so I'll have to wait until Friday. Already itching to play so kinda regretting not getting the gold version. Hope to hear more about the game from those of you already playing.

    The Division 2

    It states that clans have a tag of exactly 3 capitalized letters.....so FOH would be the obvious choice.
  15. Mizake

    The Division 2

    Yeah I'm not worried about that, I'm sure you will be about to pug raids just like in Div 1. I was more referring to: "Clans of certain ranks also unlock perks that add weekly bounties for all members. " Which implies certain content will be exclusive to clans only.

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    I'm playing on PS4 and my aiming is shitty, so I need to rely on the spray-and-pray guns. So for me R-99 is my favorite, especially since most people don't run light ammo so it's easier for me to pick up the mags and upgrades. 301 works as well early on. Then switch out to Spitfire (or...

    The Division 2

    Hmm....the clan thing has me a little worried, as long as not too much content is locked behind it I'm ok with it. I just don't want to feel forced into joining a clan just for the sake of doing content. Although max raids I think are 8 person, so I don't think clans need to be that large...

    The Division 2

    Can you switch specializations or is your character locked into one once you choose? Survivalist looks good to me for soloing, which I used to love doing in the Nomad set. Sharpshooter would be decent also because if it's anything like Div 1 you can cheese a lot of content from range. Demo...

    The Division 2

    Yeah it's way too close to Div 2 release to be starting Div 1, unless you happen to have a lot of free time and just want to know more about the lore and how the US got caught off guard and needed The Division in the first place. You can probably find a summary of the plot somewhere, I actually...

    The Division 2

    I think it's too early to judge on builds based on skills. Don't forget, Tactician set was an end-game set, and not only that, I believe it only came during the second expansion of set pieces, so really it was months or maybe even a year into the game. We haven't seen any of the end-game items...

    The Division 2

    As a disclaimer, I played Div 1 a ton, I have this game already pre-ordered, but I'm gonna try to give an unbiased opinion based on beta so far. I am playing on the PS4: PROS: 1. Game is fun, missions are fun especially when playing solo. Far more challenging. I got killed several times...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    I don't understand the interest in having solo mode for Apex. There are PLENTY of solo BR games out there to play. Apex is designed as squad vs. squad. Hence having different classes and abilities. It works because of that. Lifeline works as a good support teammate, it wouldn't match up...

    The Division 2

    I pre-ordered the game. For all it's faults, I enjoyed the Division. I haven't played in ages, but I got my money's worth with the first game (>100 hours). The main draw for me actually was the story-line, I just felt overall it was more "realistic" than other games and I enjoyed the setting...

    Gloomhaven

    Some of us finally hitting level 2! Good to hear about the Cragheart, the person playing Cragheart in our group is getting a little discouraged because she always acts so late in the turn so her best laid plans often go awry. I'll let her know to keep truckin' and the character will improve by...

    Dark Souls

    Orstein and Smoug was definitely the bottleneck for me. One attacks super fast, the other did a ton of damage with one hit....and then one gets buffed when the other dies. I had no clue if it was easier to kill one before the other, all I knew is that fight took easily 20+ tries to overcome...

    What amount would you need to be "done" with a regular job

    $5 million free and clear, meaning no debts, no mortgages, etc. Place the $5 mil in a 4% interest bearing account will yield $200,000 per year to spend. After taxes that will be more like $100,000, or about $8,000 a month. That doesn't include any other additional sources of possible income...

    Gloomhaven

    We are playing the "good" route, so all the city/road events we are trying to do the chivalrous thing, hopefully we end up with a high reputation. I like how there is a bad reputation path as well, too bad we aren't going to be able to experience it this playthrough. I have no idea if we are...

    Gloomhaven

    Also, we're trying not to use online resources to avoid spoilers and stuff, but I'm sure that means we are making mistakes. For instance, on healing abilities, for the first 2 scenarios we were playing it like you couldn't heal yourself with the card unless it said "self".....but after reading...

    Gloomhaven

    No, the first time we played it took 5 hours. That was just for the very first scenario (Black Burrow one). I think we spent like an hour just looking over the ability cards to see what the hell they meant. The other 2 times we played took about 3-4 hours each time. We have only been able to...

    I got this game for Christmas, have a group of friends I've been playing with, 4 of us total. We went Brute, Craghack, Tinkerer, and Scoundrel. We went in totally blind, had no idea what each class does (although you can kinda tell from the name scoundrel it's probably like a rogue, and brute...

    Scenes from movies that make you cry?

    This movie came out in the early 80s.....but still one of the most powerful movies I ever saw, which is why I still remember it to this day. SJWs would go crazy over this nowadays, but growing up it really connected to me. I was a kid at the time but I remember tearing up at the end. Would...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I got this game over Xmas for the Switch. I played waaaaayyyy back in the day on my PC, but don't use that account anymore. I don't have Nintendo-whatever that you have to pay in order to play multiplayer....I really don't ever play the Switch (it collected dust for over a year) although I...

    Red Dead Redemption 2

    Yeah this is a beautiful game and the voice acting is spot-on, but this is also the first open-world game I find tedious for all the reasons mentioned before. I started playing this game like all open world games, which means you do a few main quests until the world opens up to you, and then...

    Path of Exile

    Ah, I didn't realize it had already been released for consoles. Trading on the PC was hard enough using POE_trader, obviously something like that is not gonna work on consoles. I have no idea how it's implemented on the Xbone, but from what you are describing it sounds fubar, hopefully they...

    Path of Exile

    Gonna put myself out there and say I am excited about this coming for the PS4. I played this for hundreds of hours on my PC, but I quit a few leagues ago because I don't really spend that much time gaming on my computer anymore, for me it's more relaxing to be on my couch in front of a large...

    I'm not a Florida bro, but I did visit their quite often during the early 2000s.....so this info may be a little out of date, but I doubt things could change that quickly. I remember Jacksonville to be a shithole. More prone to crime for sure. You could go from a nice area to a bad area in a...

    What? Go up in the attic? But that's where IT lives!!! Jokes aside, no it wasn't that easy. You have to have the company reset things on their end as well. Like I said, this was 2 years ago so maybe they have streamlined things by now, but be sure to check first and ask the hard questions I...

    Congrats! Your realtor probably already helped you with this, but be sure to get a home warranty for at least a year. It's usually paid for by the seller. That way if anything mechanical goes wrong with the house, it's usually covered.

    I have a whole house fan, and I also went with Quiet Cool. No regrets EXCEPT I got the fancy wi-fi app control instead of getting it hard-wired to a wall controller. I thought it would be cool to turn on the fan anywhere in the house. The problem is the power went out in my house once, and...

    Yeah it kind of is like a new house tax. I honestly don't know how they determine the amount, because the moment I hear there is a Mello-Roos I just look elsewhere. It *might* be OK if you were buying for a primary home that you knew you were going to be in for a long time and you have kids so...
