    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Their last few patches have fixed the major game annoyance bugs I bumped into like the sound bug and the loot tweaking seems better. I am at least now getting some legendaries every couple play sessions instead of getting one in 100 or so hours played. So it feels like if you are doing the...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Playing division and playing anthem I can see both could coexist pretty well. Anthem is a lot easier to just fire up for an hour and do some ironman shit and have some fast paced fun. Division 2 plays a lot more intensly I find I have to pay tons more attention when playing it so I don't get...

    Given that even in legion there is a lot of indications that the lich king is becoming much more active again and starting to be more involved with the world it makes a lot of sense that we get another northrend/lich king aimed expansion at some point.

    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    This is my big question. Bandwidth usage and latency for controls. If they are just doing pure streaming though it may not be any worse than say netflix which could be pretty amazing. I imagine this is indeed the way of the future if they can get any tech hurdles fixed. Game consoles are...

    The Division 2

    HAHAH I know exactly what you mean. When I used to work for the DNR I would go to this one farm and this one farm cat always thought I was sketchy as fuck. He would follow me in a low crouch everywhere. Funny thing is he was the most pure white cat I have ever seen he was the least stealthy...

    The Division 2

    There are some annoying keymapping issues. You can remap the keys but some stuff is hard bound. Like somehow my deconstruct button has been mapped to something else and there seems to be no way to correct that short of going to default button configuration which I hate wasd configurations. If...

    The Division 2

    I had this issue last night. I had joined my friends group and for some reason I was seeing his map with the quests and stuff he had unlocked. It lasted even when ungrouped to the point I had to log off and back on to see my own side missions.

    The Division 2

    My friends and I were joking about this. The aftermath of the game should be the president congratulates us for saving the city and then promptly arrests us for murder hobo'ing 90% of the population that survived the plague.

    The Division 2

    I will add that I find it really funny/odd that they did not go with the default male/female voice option for your character. So you get into cutsceens where everybody is talking and deciding stuff and we are just sitting there like a derpy mute doing as we are bid.

    The Division 2

    The difficulty in general is good but some areas like control points can be tedious. Stuff just spawns randomly around you and so its very hard not to get flanked randomly especially early on when your guns are just random for what you can find. The whole davy crocket with the grenade launchers...

    Well the legendary drop rate does at least seem higher on gm2. Got a couple tonight whereas I had only ever gotten one previously in the last couple weeks.

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    When I went on opening night at the late show my theater was packed. Generally on the fancy screen and more expensive seating you are lucky to get 1/3 full for new releases in my town.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The thing is the core game play IS fun. The combat is solid and the powers and javelins are fun. So there is a core of a fun game here but the loot stuff is just not great. No cosmetic stuff dropping legendaries are pretty close to legendary I played this game a good 100+ hours so far and I have...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    And yet years after ghostcrawler has been gone LFR is still there each expansion now. If it was a total failure nobody would be playing it and they would have ditched it. The people who are looking for that epic raiding feeling are not going into LFR to begin with.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    And yet the devs looking at their numbers of people using the raiding content and player activity felt they needed to add more and more gradations in raiding difficulty for no reasons at all? I remember in vanilla and burning crusade I would let my sub go for long periods of time because there...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The people who made wildstar felt the same way. It performed about as well as could be expected by catering to the "hardcore!" Basically if you go one difficulty you have two options. Make it easy enough that the bulk of your players can progress through it or make it HARDCORE and have most of...

    The biggest reason why resto is so fast for leveling is basically you can fight hordes of things with zero fear or downtime. You don't need to sneak around on anything just jog up and claw faces once in a while applying some hots and getting back to work. Feral is just enough squishier that...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If they did that though the "real version" would likely have to be aimed at between normal and heroic otherwise you have very few people ever doing the content. Its weird doing all the difficulties but it maximizes the people using content that takes a long time and cost to create that if you...

    Healers also have some behind the scenes damage buffs like resto Druid solar wrath hits harder than boomkin version.

    They upped the ilvel in 8.1 heavily as well dungeons are a pretty solid way for fresh alts to gear up especially if war zones are not active.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Yet more reason they need to put their fucking master work support shit in the game ASAP. Even after the changes a lot of them like windwall are pretty useless. They barely can take a couple hits before popping. That said I still have a lot of fun flying around had a crazy legendary contract...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The list is basically they focused on the critical stuff that needs to get squashed asap and if it works as they intend looks like it should be correcting some of the real game breaking stuff some folks are running into. Honestly the act 1 roll out at the end of march makes some sense clearly...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Honestly I think with the level one powers it may be a case of nobody internally bothered trying to test level 1 weapons at max level and harder difficulties because mah spread sheet says this should be fine and why would anybody bother using a level 1 weapon at max level in the first place.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    The level one starter ones do. It seems to go across all the level 1 starting weapons from my limited testing. But other higher ilevel but not max level stuff does not show this behavior from what I can see.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    Actually it looks like there is a specific bug with the level 1 weapons from what the testing seems to show. I tried a level 7 compared to my max level MW and it basically did dick all damage but a level 1 starter weapon hit really fucking hard. The devs in the live stream say they are...

    Dune (2020)

    Dune is a very long and complex book. Even if they are splitting it into two pacing is going to be a challenge. I still remember going to the david lynch version they had glossary hand outs for people going to see it. As much as I want this to be good the subject matter is not an easy one to...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    problem is even after the good luck protection it was still very possible to never get the best legendary for your class/spec. I know one of my characters that had like every other damn legendary didn't get the one I wanted until I could buy it at the end of the expansion. BFA is head and...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    That is a nice chart although apparently the devs have clarified that every AOE ability is also considered blast damage in addition to any element it may have. A lot of storms were confused they have a mod slot item that gives big pluses to blast damage when we didn't have anything labeled as...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    One thing to note is every AOE is also a blast weapon. So for a storm your lighting blast power is both elemental and it is blast. On a similar note all single target powers are impact powers. Their terminology needs to be more clearly explained though.

    Presumably he was backed up. They knew what they were starting and he had plenty reasons to know this was a dangerous undertaking enough to take out some insurance policies.

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    One thing I have noticed once you get used to the somewhat odd cooling mechanics in flight you can actually fly for very long stretches but you have to work the suit. Fly up high and then when you start over heating dive steeply. Always watch for waterfalls/rivers to skim. If you try to just go...
