    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    I hope they go through with it too. If it's a disaster I hope they re-evaluate how they design and develop TLPs. That's unlikely though. Vaniki was a disaster from player population perspective, partially because they did a poor job tuning it and didn't re-evaluate post-release, and I dont'...

    EQ TLP - Oakwynd (Evolving Ruleset Progression Server)

    It's kinda fun but mindless for GW2 raids. Everyone zergs the fuck outta mobs and gets their meager loot + a lotto for good loot. Sometimes you need to run an unpopular event and have to rally forces or the event is challenging and you need to coordinate which can be fun. It's very not-EQ.

    I'd say the consensus is all three are hostile. Legacy chars and server-wide bonuses are positive impacts but are misguided. The only people bringing them up say it's a non-factor and probably not worht the time to code. It's all a symptom of the same problem: the developers are totally out of...

    you fucking nerd posting as a junior moderator. All they want to do is hide all the feedback into an invisible thread and then lock/hide it for "trolling", hand out a few bans and then ban anyone who brings up what they're doing for the next week. They'll do that for a week until they move on...

    Legacy characters: *shrug*. The benefits from having high-level characters around to plvl or simply buff you exceeds a measly 20% bonus. I don't know what problem this is supposed to fix. A more fun buff would be to create a special AA per class that you can use if you have a max-level character...

    Interesting that he's jumping into the "THESE INSECTS THEY EAT STARS AND HE SHOOTS THEM WITH HIS WAND AND BLOWS UP THE CONCEPT OF SPACE AROUND THE INSECTS SO THEY CANT BREATHE" before having 8 books ramping up toward that.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    I heard that Oppenheimer will only be using practical effects, no CGI. I turned Tenet off after 15 minutes when he was in a shooting range, some lady gave him a bullet and said it shoots time or some dumb shit. I knew nothing about it before starting it. Maybe I should've given it more of a...

    The trip through the island, Sahagin area, etc etc is one of the greatest adventure arcs in any game I've played.

    Drizzt is so broken OP in BG1. My favorite tactic for killing him is to surround him with my party members, remove them from the group and then swing at him with a halbred or whatever with super long reach.

    How did you decide which mods you wanted, download them, configure them and sort their load orders? I wanted to do something similar and was overwhelmed with how much apparent work it'd take to do that.

    Personal loot is :emoji_poop:. Or rather, it's anti-thetical to the social aspect of an MMO because it removes trust and cooperation. I'd much rather see a system that promotes cooperation with harder difficulty content and requiring trust by allowing you to screw over your neighbor. Personal...

    Just got off the phone with my contact, on Server 2 only red-con mobs in dungeons will give XP, group size is limited to 3 and reaching level cap rewards you with account-wide bonuses similar to heroic AAs.

    I'm disappointed to see them fail. It's best if there are multiple companies competing with different methods of reaching orbit.

    It depends on the mob. Some mobs are immune to certain weapons, some have immunity to magic weapons, some only require +1 (which you probably have on all your chars), others require +2, +3, etc. It's part of the difficulty of the game where you start wailing on some clay golem, Minsc starts...

    Mando is one of those shows that seems rigidly aligned to an initial storyboard. They NEEDED to have a campfire scene and cliff-climbing scene, so they had to invent a reason for both. They don't seem to care enough to try to do anything but hamfist the plot around those initial storyboards...

    Also note that Potions of Master Thievery are common IIRC, allowing you to just potion your way through high level locks with a modest level of thievery. I always had enough to spare so I don't know how annoying it'd be to do this in early game.

    I've enjoyed the Mando show but yeah, you have to suspend disbelief constantly to enjoy it. Like @Burns says the whole jet fuel can't melt steel dragons is sooo sloppy. They just needed a way for Starbuck to assert dominance and show genius and that was the first way they could come up with. The...

    When I do my next BG2 playthrough I'll probably either mod them out or do something to make them less obnoxious. After 60 years of either steamrolling the traps and absorbing the damage or having a thief sloooowly plod through I think I've had enough.
