    Fall 2018 Anime Thread

    Checking out a few this season : Goblin Slayer - good, will watch. Slayer taking the priestess with him probably counts somewhere between reckless endangerment and manslaughter though. Obviously the adventurer's guild staff aren't paid on commission - it's like a bunch of women's studies...

    Doctor Who

    Maybe, but not necessarily, the TARDIS does have rooms full of women's clothes which presumably came from somewhere. I don't think any reason or motive was ever suggested for that, and it's a little surprising none of his female companions found that at all creepy ;p

    Summer 2018 Anime

    Shalltear is the weakest(1st floor guardian) of them, and he only beat her by trickery and cheating his ass off* Yeah, the guild built Nazarick and designed the guardians, but they were for players to fight - he mentions that Sebas and the maids didn't get to fight anything because no players...

    Summer 2018 Anime

    Finally got around to finishing off this season of Overlord. It was good fun - I am thinking Ains is kind of playing with fire by encouraging independent thought from his minions though - it's been a while, but aren't all the floor guardians raid bosses ? That's why it's the whole guild that are...

    American Gods

    I'd say more 'holy shit that's expensive' rather than 'standard' for a tv series, given those 3 are like the most expensive tv series ever made ?

    Doctor Who

    It was.. fine. New doctor was kind of bland, but seems fair to give her a few episodes to get into it. Companions were serviceable, story not particularly original, I did get a laugh out of the dude just hitting "yes" to the alien terms and conditions without reading them though.

    Fall 2018 Anime Thread

    Seems legit. If playing WoW had a minor chance of causing literal cancer, I suspect that a large proportion of the playerbase would just shrug ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well, if you just made traits interesting like legendaries then you would just have constant tears because only being able to get them rarely from the weekly cache is retarded. So fixing that gives them some scope to make the traits useful. Of course, the obvious problem here is that every...

    The Bard's Tale 4

    Infiltrator is grossly overpowered, I agree - should be self-only. Obvious non-stealthy things like playing music or taunting should also break stealth for obvious reasons. Rend wand should only work on single target spells, and conjuror's mark should only damage the creature it's on.

    The Bard's Tale 4

    I think conjurer's mark is bugged - it seems to do an aoe explosion instead of just hitting the creature that has it.

    Better Call Saul

    There is a 99% chance that that is entirely deliberate - it works even better as an inside joke that way.

    I agree, it really did sound like she had completely run out of fucks to give about the story.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    To be honest that has a powerful reek of bullshit. "Oh we totally weren't changing anything, it's just with the totally flawless launch of BFA prod support had nothing to do so they decided to fix decade old tooltip inconsistencies by making the tooltips less accurate. Now that you mention it...

    The Predator (2018)

    I was going to say what the fuck are you talking about, but then I realised you started with admitting you hadn't seen them. Fast & Furious stopped anything like car movies with 4, they are 100% legit action flicks, and 'big guns' are shot constantly through them.

    The First

    I'd nitpick this one - there's a shitload of time passing between episodes - ep2 is a long time after ep1, and it's 2 years to next launch window, ep4 is 11 months to launch window, etc. In any case, I mostly agree with your points - this is only technically sci-fi, it's really just a bunch of...

    They ran out of time and half-assed all the missing stuff. They did the horde zones first, and it shows.

    Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

    I thought this one was well-executed good fun. Not breaking ground in plot or content, but the action scenes were exceptionally well done. Probably the best part was that it made Deadpool 2 retroactively even funnier

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    In beta it went battle for lordaeron -> talk to magni to get heart -> intro scenario -> boat to new islands, so talk to magni is next up. Just tested it with charcopy now on beta - you get broken world quests by logging in next to magni and can just hand it right in.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, the scrapper *by itself* would lower prices, both by reducing gold and making more materials, it's just counterbalanced by the all-consuming void of the war supplies quests. It's too early to say if the mission table is going to be as much of a money fountain as BFA, although given...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    You are thinking about it the wrong way - it's more gold for you, but it's still zero gold actually being created - you are just moving some created gold from someone else to you. That's the kind of thing they want happening, but you need to be an enchanter to do it. With the scrapper everyone...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hell no, everyone can do the quest for every tradeskill every time you get control of the warfront and they use a LOT of mats - for example the JC contribution is 15 green gems. That's going to suck up any cheap material surplus quick smart.

    Better Call Saul

    Yeah, because he's never worked for a big corporate before, so the idea that there'd be highly paid consultants hired by some exec for some unspecified task with no oversight and that no-one else knows who the fuck they are or what they do is foreign to him ;p That shit happens allllll the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The scrapper is just a sneaky gold sink - it means all that gold that was being created out of thin air when people vendored gear is now disappearing. Combined with the 'war supplies' crafted quests it's actually a pretty cunning plan, although I suspect it's going to result in a raid...

    Castle Rock

    I though the first three were pretty good. Young stalker is much creepier than adult stalker. Thought experiment - does knowing the girl next door cums when you jerk off make you do it more or less ? ;p

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The whole underbelly is a FFA pvp zone whenever someone bothers to bribe the guards. You can pay money to the captain at the entrance to be immune if you actually have something useful to do down there, although teleporting back would make that problematic I guess.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    Yeah, not being able to pay the artists for the next set pretty much means it's dead unless they get a huge backer that doesn't care about a history of failure. It's sad - it could have been great, but their skills as game designers far outstripped their software development and project...

    IS HBO gonna get shafted by AT&T?

    HBO made, what, 6 billion profit in the last few years, mostly from GoT. Imagine how much more money they could have made if instead of GoT, they had ten 20 min episode teen dramas and 200/week hours of reality TV ! This is pretty much the level of genius that came up with the SyFy wrestling...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, despite the various flaws ( mostly rng related ), I have to give blizz credit for legion - they added a *LOT* of stuff on a pretty aggressive schedule. Only the top like 0.05% got to farm a mythic tier for more than a month.

    Either the math on that one is off by something crazy, or they also reset the AP knowledge, because level 19-20 went from 2k to 30k.

    If you mean play wise, frost is aids to play on beta at the moment. This may fix itself with more haste, although I have pretty much all haste gear ( 14% @ ilvl 340 ), so it will be a while. If you mean top dps, too early for any of that, they are still fucking around with numbers.

    You have to hearth, port to stormwind/org, turn it off, then go back to where you were .

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It is exactly like that - when I first tried beta it was 16,000 AP for level 10 ( about 500 world quests ), now it's like 2k for level 20.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That thinking would work if BFA levelling wasn't a race to the bottom. Every level you get significantly worse, and 119 and 120 you get completely dumpstered. Being ahead of the pack just means you are a free kill for the level 110 rogue waiting at the quest hub. I wouldn't use war mode as a...

    Westworld

    Dolores always was the terminator - only the new ones are the bio-printed almost human types, the old ones like Dolores are full on robots with skin covering. Unless you mean in personality, in which case yeah, all of the characters in s2 were pretty yawn worthy.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not as far as I can tell, but crafting on beta at the moment is more pre-alpha than beta to be honest. The only quests I've run across are for gathering profs and it's just to gather X of something basically.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'd be interested as well, nothing really stood out for me as a mechanical or speed advantage. Overall Horde levelling quests were considerably more interesting though at least. On alliance side, drustvar is pretty good, stormsong is eh, and tiragarde is a boring pile of collect bear asses. All...
