    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Their loot system is very very very random. I went for a week or so getting legendaries to drop basically every night sometimes multiples. This last weekend I had two strongholds where everything but the guaranteed drop were blues. I am not sure how that is even possible. I like the game but the...

    The app catch up is following legions pattern so catching an alt up is pretty easy.

    It is in an odd space this expansion. WIthout the tier set bonuses which tended to keep LFR gear at least moderately better than what you could get questing in legion its basically just there for transmogs this go round or gearing up alts.

    The super cute thing is apparently we get the full sized mount version of that for the flight unlock this time around. Given how super cute feathers is I am really looking forward to that.

    They also made friendly javelins not cock block your ults and abilities which is a nice change.

    Not sure if new loot is dropping in the new stronghold or not people just got in a bit ago so I don't know if that will be clear for a bit until they can run it a few times and loot stuff.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    So it looks like a big patch is dropping today with the next stronghold the sunken. I have not seen patch notes yet so I am not sure what else made the update and apparently in their stream later today they will be releasing an updated 90 day road map. I kinda suspect a lot of the free play...

    City of Heroes has actually been online for years....

    I think they made a mistake of making leveling too much like eq1 where you hit like level 30 and it was just a wall for a lot of builds where it just was not that fun to try to push to max level than it was to fire up random alts to try different builds with. Their model was almost always...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Also the flaming sword thing that thoros originally did was a trick with alchemical dragonfire on the blade. It used to piss robert off because it kept ruining good swords with it. Most I think don't realize beric is not using chemicals to make the fire happen. That plus as mentioned the fucker...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I would agree it is not so much racial tension as it is the northerners are very insular at good times and do NOT like foreigners period aka anybody not from the north. Now add in exotic appearance and that just triggers their NOPE reactions.

    Atlas Reactor (Trion's new turn based moba)

    yup kinda sad but no unexpected. It is a great game that is just so hard to describe well to people that folks basically never tried it. Once it clicked it was amazing. People say they want unique games and this one was one of those rare few that was really unique.

    The BOD armor sets have a few decent ones but uldir were all pretty much terrible and ashsara raid looks like they are all pretty bad too. They in general are just taking to much of the character/flavor off the set to make the mythic actually look interesting but the mythic stuff is only about...

    Combined with most of the people really hot to work in the industry are really young often as their first real job so don't really understand what "normal" working conditions in their field should even be in the first place. So its a lot easier to abuse these workers because they A) really like...

    I don't recall it having any really salty languages probably pg ratings wise. If you are okay with them playing shooting games. Some of the later jumping puzzle parts get a bit tricky but the game has pretty good mercy check points where if you make it far enough after you die a few times it...

    I agree titanfall 2 did not have a huge campaign but it was really well done and fun and for as cheap as you can get it for these days it should be a no brainer for people to pick up.

    Sam also took the black. The brothers of the nightwatch are his family now not the tarly's. To go all vengency now especially with the undead army heading their way would be breaking all of his oaths.

    Honestly I think they have been considering this since almost the begining as there used to be a portal in stormwind that seemed to be for a housing district. I think it is a combination of figuring out how they want to do it and probably when to do so. It likely was one of their bring people...

    A couple weeks seems reasonable. Gives you a patch day to do bug fixes if needed and let shit settle down a bit before kicking the raid off. waiting a month+ after the patch is a bit too much of a disconnect.

    I imagine there is still story time gating but at least it sounds like the landmass itself will likely be fully available.

    No it is how you unlock the nodes on the new chart. Existing and new azerite armor though basically does not need it. All the main powers are auto unlocked with only maybe the +5 ilevel still needing a specific ilevel.

    Given how much I am getting tired of my damn water walking mount and that it spends a year + every damn expansion being the best mount in the game I am totally okay with having some kind of slot for water walking that I can just put in there and then use whatever mount I actually want to use...

    I am actually surprised from one of the "influencer" interviews it sounds like the raid and new dungeon are coming within a couple weeks of 8.2 going live. Also it does not sounds like they are time gating access to nazjatar that you will be able to access most if not all the island immediately...

    That is my assumption too that it is for your necklace ability. Something like this though is a lot more interesting to work towards with AP than the azerite armor though. Looks like some interesting stuff in the patch curious to see how it is implemented. Still looks like we should get some...

    Unless somebody is racing for mythic raiding firsts I just don't see how titanforging/warforging impacts them. Once in a blue moon you will be transmog hunting and something that shouldn't be an upgrade winds up being a minor upgrade. I just don't see how that is game breaking to give people a...

    A lot of the crazy crunch BS would get shut down hard by a union. So in a lot of ways it does force management changes because if your work force is tied collectively you can't just use them up and break them one by one or the whole lot go on strike. It may not force them to have more of a clue...

    I think game workers unionizing probably would be a solid first step to get a handle on what is becoming an endemic issue. The problem is for so long this was "just how you make games" and now people who were subjected to that go on to form their own companies and mange it like they were managed...

    Their reasoning is the ilevel boost we see is about the minimum needed to have people feel like they are getting upgrades. Less than that you wind up with people getting gear when the new raid starts and it being mostly a side grade and not feeling good because you get new loot and it may not...

    One thing from the articles that is both on point and something they should have realized a lot sooner is you have to get the end game systems tested EARLY in alpha/beta so you can iterate on them. The azerite stuff did not come together until the very end of beta and by that point there was no...
