I can't remember what edition it was specifically, but I know for a fact one of the old hardback source books had two separate (male/female) tables for maximum physical stats. As far as a the CR scripting, it was a few episodes ago maybe S2/30-32. I can't remember exactly, but Liam seemed to...

A few weeks ago I decided to get back in to D&D (haven't played in years) and I have thrown myself in to learning as much about 5E as I can. I've purchased literally every official 5E book that's been printed and spent several dozen hours listening to D&D YouTube channels on 2x speed to refresh...

Absolutely not an indictment on you, but I absolutely hate the phrase of "social contract" because it just REEKS of SJW rhetoric. I know it's semantics, but I just prefer to set "ground rules" because I feel like that conjures to mind common issues like drinks need to have a lid, trying to avoid...

I haven't played a game of 5E, but I have been reading the rulebooks that arrived over the weekend and I am starting to formulate a rough outline of the hook and general direction of my campaign. Granted, I don't have any experience with 5E, but it looks like it is going to free me of a lot of...

I'm still playing and having fun, but my playtime has fallen off considerably. When I do play it's usually a Freeplay session while listening to a podcast or YouTube video.

Yep. I stumbled across WebDM last week and have watched close to 20 of their videos as well and they're fantastic.

I've probably spent 85% of my D&D time as DM, but I have very rarely had the opportunity to pick the brains of other DMs at length. YouTube has provided an invaluable resource for D&D players; especially DMs. There are a ton of quality channels to learn from. Per the recommendation in this...

I decided to put looking for an online game on the back burner in favor of looking for a live game. I have an 'interview' for a game this week. I haven't played in many years and sold everything I had when I quit (massive mistake as I had some really old shit that I don't even want to know the...

There's definitely a feel that they reduced the drop rates of masterwork and legendary items.

It's an enjoyable, but frustrating game. The bugs can be incredibly annoying, but a lot of them are being hotfixed with rapidfire. Apart from the technical flaws, some of the narratives are also weak. A few of the stories are interesting (main story), but the method that's used to tell them is...

Here's my thicc boi and one of my decent items. The 250% damage mod on primed targets has it do a hell of a lot of damage.

I spent all day Monday doing Strongholds with just my best friend and I. You could absolutely do it. Was it intended? Maybe not, but we ran them for hours with it set to private and never saw another soul. With the sheer number of bugs/connection issues it doesn't surprise me. I had no reason...

It's there. Log in and check for yourself. I have no idea if friends can join AFTER you launch, but you can set it private so strangers can't join you (or your friends). *EDIT* I just tried it. Apparently that function got patched out. You can't set Stronghold or Freeplay to private anymore...

Yes, there is. It's under the privacy tab in the launch screen.

Hmm, I got DC'd another 4 times, but when I finally ended the next Freeplay the masterwork items (which was actually 8) and everything else I looted was still there. Apparently, there's some protection in that the Freeplay loot gets cached even when you DC.

My salt level is high right now. I tried to leave Freeplay with 7 masterwork items in my inventory and got disconnected. Obviously, I lost them all.

95% of my play is on GM1 and the other 5% I tinker with GM2. I find that everything but bosses just melt for groups that actually know what they're doing. Players don't necessarily have to be super well geared, but actually using their brains by flanking the shield guys and exploiting weak...

Yes, it's level based, but you can get Masterwork before you're max level. Or could. I have no idea if the patch yesterday changed that. Personally, my first masterwork didn't come until I hit 30. Loot is: White/Common, Green/Uncommon, Blue/Rare, Purple/Epic, Orange/Masterwork, Yellow/Legendary.

And you're autistic. My comment was to illustrate that I don't take notice of many posters here unless they're assholes (or consistently post interesting information), despite years spent visiting this site and every iteration before it. It had absolutely nothing to do with me, retard. I...

The patch is going live today.

There's no problem. The game is quite accommodating for those situations.

My relationship with Anthem is similar. I really enjoy the gameplay, but I also find myself heavily sighing and getting incredibly frustrated over being forced to deal with some aspects of the game. For instance, the "city" is pure trash. I've gotten so fed up with running laps to continue...

Choke on my dick, faggot. I'm a 20+ year veteran of FoH yet there are MAYBE two dozen names that stand out to me and you're one of them because you have a well-documented history of just complaining about everyfuckingthing. Especially games. Complaining about games is fine, even necessary, but...

The load screens are my biggest gripe. Just last night I was playing with a friend and after an hour long freeplay session we got booted and lost all the masterworks we farmed. We were obviously both salty, but I really lost it when I went to prepare for a contract by making consumables and...

Ok? So, fuck off and stop reading about a game you very clearly despise. Anthem is not without warts, but despite them a lot of people are having fun with it. It's obvious that Anthem is never going to clear the bar and be the 1 in 500 game-Utnayan-approves-of. We get it, you hate the game...

I exclusively play Colossus and I have that same rifle. It absolutely shreds shields.

With most games, I find they don't get much better if the early game isn't fun, but I'm inclined to agree with you about Anthem. I found the first 25ish levels mediocre, but Grandmaster and the back end of the main story made the game enjoyable.

Same. I occasionally encounter a fuckwit who acts like General Zod on VoIP, but they always immediately pipe down when I tell them to shut the fuck up.

Nothing overt as far as I can tell, but both my buddy and I noticed that the overwhelming majority of NPCs you interact with are non-white, "strong" females. And most of the men are either idiots, pathetic, or gay.

I played the Colossus a lot during both demo weekends and found it to be very sturdy. Granted, I used two of the health/armor add-ons and I also used my 'super' as a defensive cooldown. It heals you to full and makes you, essentially, invulnerable during its duration. On Hard, I only had...

I haven't played D&D in years, but I have a lot of experience. I've wanted to get back in to a regular campaign, but I can never find a 'normal,' consistent group of people. Do any of you play in or run an online campaign with a slot for a non-disruptive, reliable player? I prefer to play...

Likewise.

For me, Anthem is looking like a Borderlands 2 experience. My best friend and I played the shit out of it for a month or so, had a ton of fun, and then never looked back. I hope the future content can keep me periodically interested, but if not, no big deal.

I don't know if it's a bug, but twice now I have killed the bug boss and got server disconnected right as we finished the battle. No loot for either run. Gay.

The whole "it's gaming and entertainment and therefore it should be a less profit-driven industry" is retarded. I'm not at all making excuses for publishers/studios that make incredibly poor financial decisions in games because there are a lot of them, but I am not going to begrudge the...

Anthem is a "Live Service" game. All the future content is going to be free (or so they say). The cash shop is very likely one of, if not only, revenue source for continued development costs. Like many games, the cash shop is just an alternative to a subscription fee. Even so, I'd prefer that...

Developers/publishers have been coming up with additional ways to increase revenue for years. Cash shops fleecing the low-IQ, young, or (as you say, Luthair) mentally ill isn't new, but is it predatory? My gut reaction is a hesitant, no. However, my perspective is through the lens of above...

Hey, if I was EA, I'd be fleecing idiots and wales whom want to dress up their dolls, too. Right up until the level that public outcry was too much. Look, regardless of what they will cost (and as I said, it won't be remotely close to $20), the ball is in the consumers court. There are literally...

As a whole, I couldn't care less about cosmetics or their cost. I've never purchased a cosmetic in any game where they were available and very likely never will. That said, I can see why people are bent out of shape over the model. However, as far as I am aware there isn't any factual...

As a last ditch effort to address my T levels before getting on the train I made some significant changes in my life. 1. I completely reworked my diet; every animal product (meat, eggs, butter, cheese, etc) I buy now must come from a grass-fed animal that is also free from hormones/antibiotics...
