    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    One nice thing it sounds like they are still working on the fine tuning of what artifact stuff to bake back into baseline stuff. That is where I think a lot of quality of life stuff can be done pretty easily.

    Into the Badlands

    Damn thought this started next week on demand of this Friday night I guess.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I mostly log in to check out the rotation and test dummy stuff for characters I am testing to see what I want for a main in the next expansion and then play a bit in the other factions quests a bit that I know I won't bother doing for a year plus when BfA starts winding down.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    WOW they are going full jedi these are not the assets you are looking for. I don't think that ends well for those involved.

    This largely winds up being an issue so far with a lot of the talented versions. Either they are just the base version but lack all the artifacts passive boosts to that power which make it lack luster like ashes to ashes or weird nerfing like the druid moon spells has double the cooldown to...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It is a bit weird. Some powers are baked in some are talents and some are just gone. A lot of classes their artifact ability was nice but not game changing but some like druids really were complaining about single target rotations so they put the moon spell back as a talent option.

    It may be a bit more than expected but generally they really stomp the road blocks of the final raid expansion as we wind up for the next one so people working on their mythic achievements have a more smooth shot at getting them. Its not like the gear means fuck all any more so no real reason...

    Westworld

    I would guess that is probably the long term goal. Although the second anybody finds out about it it seems like now we have seen more of what their skull/brain look like that basic X ray tests would show instantly who is a host and who is not so that kind of infiltration seems like a limited...

    Westworld

    Easy enough to just have some living DNA generating stuff for hands/mouth. Ford wanted bernard to pass as one of the head honchos of the park so being able to pass basic types of tests like DNA tests/swabs has to have been something he thought out. You could get away with not doing it on lower...

    Westworld

    Given what we have seen of their "brains" any kind of invasive scan will show them for what they are. But basically producing DNA for that kind of hand scan seems pretty easy given how they construct the hosts. The fact they are not having people going through X ray machines means they still do...

    Lost in Space

    I can sort of understand it given the shithole that apparently the earth turned into and a number of wide ranging conflits. I can sort of see somebody adverse to having weapons but what is fine for a known colony world that is already settled should not be applied to unknown environment you...

    Westworld

    I think something like this is probably correct. They even talked about it looking like somebody coded all the guests as hosts for how the guns were killing people which would explain why they go from just stinging to doing normal bullet type stuff.

    Downsizing (2017)

    I enjoyed the first 1/3 a lot but it really gets a bit hard to watch when they start doing the sweden stuff and the vietnameses "love interest" is kinda grating. The first part makes some sense where basically they are in sealed environments but the stuff once they are on the boat and in the...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    I have to say the ewok thing is a bit odd right now it just is a lot of learning curve figuring out the map. Had one really fun run last night we were down to like 4 storm troopers cowering in the caves then you hear all the horns and yub nubs and big zerg wave of barely seen ewoks bum rushed...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    I think this mode will be better as people learn the map. Ewoks really need to know their way around to get behind troopers.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Coming from artifacts+legendaries is going to be a shock for a LOT of specs. Most people have used the stuff so long they don't fully grasp how much of what they do is enhanced/changed by the artifact. I imagine a fair number of big numbers/ability patches at the start of BfA to sort stuff out...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    A lot of the DPS classes can just power through theirs now. Demo warlock is still frustrating me. It is a high movement fight on a class that that is really immobile. Just very irritating. Boomkin is a joke with argus level ilevels basically you just run around moonfiring the one guy for a bit...

    The flying is pretty damn fun I am like an idiot savant on the kashyyk map I have racked up some big scores flying like a mad man around the trees.

    I think some of the initial bitching about hit detection was people not realizing some weapons you can unlock mods that give them explosive rounds so you can get some weird how did they hit me issues but in fact they hit what you were hiding next to and explosion hurt you.

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    The netcode seems better I had a couple minor lag hiccups but other than that it runs a lot better than it did at launch when there were patches of serious lag/rubber banding. I have had no issues with hit detection the only hit stuff I ever had issues with was during rubber banding lag issues...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    It looks like there eventually will be some cash store stuff but it looks to be pure cosmetics new hero/trooper skins. No loot crates at all other than your daily one that just shits out some random credits and some that give you specific emotes for doing certain achievements. You can't buy loot...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    The stuff to spend the credits on is coming it is going to be cosmetic stuff for various troopers/heroes and I think future heroes will get unlocked via credits as well. So build them up now stuff to spend them on is still coming. I was confused as shit about this as well monday when I was...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    I played it a bunch this last week when I was sick. I like the changes all the heroes and base ships are unlocked so everything that came with the game you can play. There is zero way to pay to win anything in it now at least at this time. The combat is pretty fun the ground combat is a pretty...

    I am more or less on hiatus until the prepatch I still log in and putter around a bit but I have done pretty much everything I need to in legion at this point.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Random eq memory for raiding I would often get invited by major guilds to I think the old veeshan raid because I had not trashed my rep with the dragons so I would get in zone with my magician and summon hordes of mod rods and other stuff and drag corpses and what not and specifically was told...

    Yes for a few people in the raids in eq1 there was a good bit of skill. I had a lot of respect for the monks and SK pulling was an art and doing it without getting the raid murdered especially when learning new raids was challenging. But most people in the raid you stood where the leader told...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Or like the old plane of hate I think raid where your entire raid basically sits in one of the starting rooms as your monks go out and bring stuff back to you. I don't miss eq1 raiding. I am pretty sure a lot of them any one person could get away with just watching tv slowly hitting their one or...

    They did a pretty good job of showing Amos mentally switching from Naomi as his moral touchstone to holden.

    The Expanse

    We get to used to shows where they just either hand wave physics or use space magic to do things like contra gravity or controlled gravity. Expanse does a pretty good job of modeling things about as well as they can and paying attention to the fact if you are not accelerating in space you...

    The Terror

    That sort of confused me as well why are you just letting this eskimo chick live that close to you for 5 months and how is she still alive with demon bear running around. That raises some very legit questions but I also agree with the captain wait for daylight such as it is. Going out during the...

    The Expanse

    I am guessing it was because the ship was supposed accelerating defensively I believe. The people on the ship were walking around normally because the ship was accelerating at least 1G. Once outside the ship walking on the hull she would be "falling" at 1g once she lost contact with the hull and...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I am curious how much of a thing this will be. The initial testing one basically had one row of spec specific stuff with four options one neutral PVE one and 3 spec specific picks. I am sure at the high end there probably will be more of this but it is unclear how much of a thing this will be...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If they keep adding to it at a consistent pace maybe that is a better model for them to go after. It is pretty clear what we are seeing at the start with the alliance vs horde is probably not going to be the long term focus of the expansion so it is possible we get more argus like additions...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I was pretty surprised they were launching that early. So we are basically 4 months out from the expansion now and still have not done the artifact weapon finale stuff yet and then the prepatch after that so looks like we should have very minimal content draught to end this thing up which is way...

    It is kinda funny they don't get why people don't enjoy trying to level up when you are getting preyed on by max level bored assholes who will just farm you into oblivion and you have literally no defense against it nor any way to fight back.
