All the young Lakers are projects. They all have All-Star potential but none made a big jump this year. Boston has a core of overperforming young dudes who have a lower ceiling than the kids from LA but they're also better right now, plus all those first-round picks in the next few years and...

MSQ roulette will give you a level. Trial roulette will give you half a level. Dungeon roulette will give you about a level. Raid roulette (24-man) will give you two thirds of a level. 50/60 dungeon will give you half a level. All per day. Or just run tank queues for highest level dungeon for...

You can upgrade your Ironworks gear to 130 with Poetics. It's not tome efficient, but you can do the same with Shire gear (260->270). It's very worthwhile on your weapon, then your left side gear; the gains on right side gear are minimal.

It's normal mode. Just stay in tank stance. The chances that your co-tank will circle-shirk you are next to zero.

Casual server – sandbox with a #testbuff like command where you can #level to max and #summon any items you desire. Play with your friends without any grind or need for raiding.

@Aradune would never be transparent enough to let us know how many neckbeards have gifted him $10,000 apiece, but perhaps @Zaide would tell us how many of his Faceless crew have claimed to pledged at the $10k tier or higher. I'd guess at least a couple dozen Faceless dudes have proudly run...

There are people in this thread that have "invested" $10,000 or more into this game. In honor of their investments, this thread ought never be shawed.

MMO's dangle carrots across a bed of nails. It's been that way since the beginning. These days the developers have perfected the formula; now they dangle carrots in front of your hamster wheel that lies atop burning coals.

If by "intelligently defending himself" you mean he might be kinda sorta falling towards Henry's body in an attempt to grab on and close the distance, you're right. That's as gracious an interpretation as I can give him and I'm not sure if that's enough of a reason to keep an incredibly...

TJ fell back several different times and was just a punching bag during the entire sequence. It was a lot of strikes to the head that he wasn't intelligently defending. Brains after dehydration like that face huge risk to damage. The stoppage was in the best interests of his long term health...

Damn. TJ got punked. Has Cejudo quietly become a great MMA fighter?

Based on how big he was smiling as he was going on (and it's Greg fucking Hardy), I guessed it was more to it than normal mid-fight trash talk.

Crowder must've been talking some mean shit, my feed went 100% silent for a long while there.

Not the only reason, but yeah. Cowboy is a dangerous grappler but he's happy to keep things standing. Conor doesn't fear his standup. It'd be a big payday, a fun fight for the fans, as good a shot at winning as he's going to get at 155, and could be spun into a whiskey endorsement or whatnot so...

Cowboy would be a great fight for his whiskey brand.

This game has recent developments?

Cowboy looked good, if a little small. Hernandez looked like… he has a good chin.

TJ is a bad motherfucker and he's evolved his fight game immensely. He's a stupid good striker and a capable grappler. That said, Mighty Mouse was the GOAT, Cejudo out-pointed him (due to a mid-fight injury?), and the snake is gaunt after dropping down a weight class. Henry isn't a chump, but...

Jon can move up on his own terms and establish himself as the GOAT. All-time best at 205 and the dominant HW of his era. DC will be the guy who lost to Jon Jones and then fought once at HW, landing a lucky strike against Stipe to win the belt. An all-time great, perhaps. In the end, DC needs...

The graphics in this game are crap. Character models don't even have shoulderpads. What is this, 1999?

Yeah. The devs 100% intend controller players to be on par with keyboard and mouse. In the US, KB&M is largely preferred but in Japan the controller (and PS4) gets a lot of use. Targeting is a little slower, you don't get mouseover macros, and no parses/audio triggers. Otherwise...

3 box trivializes dumbshit Luclin content, who woulda guessed? 2 box trivializes PoP content – the amount of Ench/Dru combos (or Ench/Clr, for those who wanted to stun charmbreaks instead of snares) on AK was insane. The solution isn't to create a rule that punishes how horrible the moon...

Woodley confirmed to be so horrible for PPV he's relegated to women's title fight status, propped up by a Jon Jones main event. Dana White, you want to fuck Tyron Woodley? Create 165/175 and abandon 170. Worst case scenario you have a couple title elimination fights before Woodley reclaims the...

You can't. Something something about unfinished geometry that doesn't look good from all angles because it was only designed to be seen from the ground.

He was on the EverQuest team as a designer/programmer/wearer of many hats by the end.

I've been focusing on Magicite lately because I'm behind on levels/inheritances for half the elements, yes. It doesn't help with Magicite, it doesn't help with Torment, and most regular weekly content is a joke of difficulty. I don't see where I'd ever use it over another non-hastega boostga or...

The new? one. Buffs Attack, Magic, Mind, and quickcast 3. On a character without white 5 or bard. It's a fine stacking buff with quick cast but no haste. I have never liked Mog in this game (even during his introduction when he was a quasi-usable white mage or dragoon); his ability access is...

Melding 101: Strength when you can Crit the rest of the time If you're a tryhard and trying to be a 99% parser on savage raiding, you can optimize specific tiers and proper skillspeed windows and shit. But you can follow that template to the bank.

Tonight's results proved that the committee putting in ND and Oklahoma. Beyond the top 2 teams in the country, everyone was flawed. #6 OSU barely beat Washington (lol) and #5 Georgia lost to a Texas team that had won 9 games and split their two games vs Oklahoma. #7 Michigan got embarrassed on...

Shelke's been legend dived forever. :smuggly: Got Hades down at 32 seconds. With only a single 3* holy magicite, that's an easy sub-30 once I farm up those sweet Evraes, or I could play with soul break timings for some optimization. In the end, it's a frustratingly fun fight – I tinkered with a...

Skip the relic weapons. They're strictly glamor. It's dozens upon dozens of hours of grinding (and millions of gil) for a weapon that is outdated as soon as you hit level 51. Ultima Weapon is not worth your time. There are no rewards; you're likely to wait for an hour in the queue only to wipe...

Max out your level 50 gear (Ironworks is ilvl 120 base, upgrades to ilvl 130). This will more or less carry you through to level 60, at which point you can buy Shire gear (base ilvl 260, upgrades to ilvl 270). That will basically take you to level 70. There's no reason to grind out gear for...

Thanks for the tips, dudes. Been stomping through the game well enough without looking at the AI threads (thanks powercreep), so these cliff notes are great. Hades is kicking my ass. I should have the relics for it (WoL 1.0 chain, TG Cid USB, Iris BSB), but it's not coming together yet. My...

I've been getting back into this again. Depleted my mythril pre-fest doing all the 5 & 15 mythril banners. Picked up some nice powercreep stuff, etc. Fests usually burn me out with too much content and hard boss battles, but just coming back to the game I've been spending just as much time...

The only stuff you buy with poetics is level 50 gear (Ironworks, ilvl 130) and level 60 gear (Shire, ilvl 270). By the time you're level 65, you've hopefully outgrown the usefulness of the stuff. You can purchase gear for alts or seeds/etc. to sell on the marketboard. / This is why the "Road...

It wasn't wildly overtuned for its time, but scaling kills the dungeon (both with skills and equipment) and new players get to 49 far too quickly these days to be equipped for what it throws at you.

100000% Aurum Vale is unfun. It's the only dungeon in the game that's wildly overtuned. It's not hard in a vacuum, but relatively it's one of the harder things to PUG in the game. Use tank stance in group stuff. It's just easier to brandead hate. Switching to DPS stance is fine on bosses...

It wasn't a typical LHW brawl. Both fighters, and Jones especially, were more calculating. UFC will be getting a lot of free advertising with Bones at the top. He was already the most talented MMA fighter of all time and now the steroids controversy just adds to the media frenzy like a...

Correct. Never say your pet is a support animal, etc. It's a "service animal." Emotional support animals caught on as being snowflakey AF, but the term is meaningless medically (and thus, often legally) speaking. If you have a "service animal," your landlord can GTFO. If you have an...

Sounds like an easy revenue source for the company. Done right, it's a win-win, but everyone's right to be suspicious. Extra testing of the supplements costs money. Extra care to reduce cross contamination costs money. For an elite athletes, they may be worth the cost of doing business. However...
