I'm thinking more about server crashes and queues getting in. If this has one of the biggest queues in history at launch, most of the people who want to play won't even be able to get in that evening. The nightmare scenario (which I've never had to deal with) is when someone can't get in until...

Agreed. The epics were a good way to add prestige back in the day. And rare super-weapons (every expansion had a couple up to a certain point). The dawn of ornamentations around SoD killed a lot of the prestige of items because anyone could make their weapon look bigger and flashier than an...

TBH I don't think EQ has any chance of actually dying, not when emulator servers are a thing. See how Vanguard is still available today on emulator servers. There'll be enough of those running for any remaining population to keep going. If the main game dies, it mainly just means no new live...

Been noticing this for a few years now, there are like almost no bugs outside. Maybe at the height of summer there are some, but not like what I remember as a kid. I'd come home with numerous mosquito bites every time I played outside for too long in the woods in summer, if I didn't have bug...

This is all super interesting and I've got zero doubt whatsoever that humans did a hell of a lot of stuff in the 200,000 years before civilization "began" in 4000 BC. It wouldn't surprise me either if most of the stuff in the Bible and other great religious texts is all based on legitimate...

Yeah, and if AEW did that they'd get completely dumped on. They already get flack for people kicking out of big moves but never do anything to the extent of what was going on in those two title matches. In other news, I bet Samantha Irvin's nether-regions taste like mint chocolate chip ice cream.

What's with these smug people popping up going "what controversy? there is no controversy except in your silly little heads" every time anyone talks about the controversy? I guess that's the new play these days, pretend nothing's happening and there is no narrative whenever people push back...

But wait! What was the point of nerfing Howling Stones? Zone is out of the way and takes a bit more effort to get keyed for, plus it's pretty dangerous, so the high EXP was the reason to go. Just wondering why they'd make a zone like that useless, if that's what happened. Also means more people...

That looks like something that should actually get some sort of official release / support from From. It's amazing how fan-made games are some of the most impressive games out there at this point in time. Like those various Super Mario Crossover games (forget what the newest one is called) that...

Demon Souls Remake: The game so good-looking that even the poison swamp looks amazing. Pretty much done with this one, 9 hours played over the past week and all I have left are World 3 and 1-4. @Heian I'd go with a build you haven't played before. I'm running Str builds which I never did...

That's unfortunate. So in-era it's no longer a top EXP zone, I take it. Well, definitely won't be rushing in there with a static now. This particular server should have basically a 1-60 level spread, gonna be people of all levels doing all kinds of things. I'm sure you'd find plenty of people...

Some Berserk cosplay: Demon Souls w/ Dragon Bone Smasher Dark Souls w/ Greatsword Dark Souls 2 w/ Greatsword. The +25% EXP costume kinda messes up the look, I'll get a more accurate outfit later on. All of these Guts can be put together really early in their respective games (DBS is the...

If they don't launch this with a backup server (and perhaps consolidate later) it's going to be a shitshow. Backup server would allow everyone who just wants to play and isn't in it for the raid game / top guilds to filter to the backup server and probably have a better overall experience with...

Did Howling Stones get nerfed hard or something?

Yeah, Faceless Conquest made it to retail very successfully. Sounds like the rest of the server kinda died a death though. Well, at least we'll have holiday exp. Just now realizing that Kunark itself is the expansion I'm the least familiar with raidwise (well, VP anyway) outside of the last 2...

Oh yeah, one conundrum I'm facing in Berserk Souls is that I don't think there are any capes in most of them. Elden Ring has capes obviously, but I don't think the others do. Managed to get the Souls 1 Guts looking very much like Guts outfit-wise even without the cape, so that's cool. I need to...

Selo had Luclin unlocked (thus much better leveling zones). I remember it launching during an EXP weekend, anyone remember if that's the case? And didn't it have a general EXP bonus as well? Teek will have the same level cap but none of the above advantages. It's gonna be an absolutely hideous...

What greatsword does Lost Giant have? AFAIK his soul can only be traded for an axe. I got the Greatsword from the No Man's Wharf, which is very Berserk-like. Was a real challenge to sprint to at low level, took lots of tries and I barely got it when I finally did. Got out of the room and boned...

VP can drop Trak/VS BPs/pants? Is that only on Mischief or is it possible in general? I'd think Trak/VS are still desirable targets due to the guaranteed two drops from each fight, but if VP mobs can sometimes drop those items as well at least it's something. Not too surprised PD is the only...

Yeah, what I used to do if I was gonna run a bunch of instanced missions solo is log a bunch of characters on and off, adding them to the group. You can add five people from one other account if you want, they'll all stay in the group as offline. Then run as many instances as you want. Even raid...

Seems like VP would be a lot more useful if the dragons there could drop the same BPs/pants that Trak/VS do respectively. As I understand it, it's mostly weapon drops that people don't need because Epic 1.0s are in full swing and are generally superior across the board. So not real sure what...

Friends and I had a prediction going that a number of huge stars of yesteryear would show up in the main event one after another to counteract members of the Bloodline. Jey Uso, Cena, Austin, Undertaker. Well, we got Austin wrong but we got the rest. Only question is why didn't the Bloodline all...

I've never heard of anyone getting fired from a job "because they were feminist". I mean that's a pretty regular thing. It's like someone saying they were fired from their job "because I don't like billionaires". Pretty much nobody likes billionaires. Chances are there was a liiiiiiittle more to...

Like, a boy is gonna want to look like the girl in the game? I think that's gonna happen a lot. It'll also probably turn a bunch of girls gay. In a roundabout way, Stellar Blade is the wokest game of all?

What I meant by "graphic" was something that would have a high impact on players. They show other much more violent things that don't have much impact in comparison. This particular thing would be high-impact so they did everything they could to not show it.

They were probably talking about the Mike Brown thread and stuff. This forum isn't everyone's cup of tea that's for sure.

Perry had a general underlying problem with Punk, this didn't come out of nowhere. He didn't like Punk, thought he was an asshole, and everything just kind of came to a head at All In. A bunch of people had issues with Punk that had been building for a while. If it wasn't this, it would have...

Oh he made a big deal about the car being a rental? lol Well anyway they're going to play the backstage fight footage from All In on Dynamite this week so people can see for themselves what happened. Probably the best way to respond to Punk's interview, just show the footage. Bucks are going...

What about the rental car? I didn't watch much of the interview.

I'm no fan of Punk, but it's gonna go down in history what a massive blunder TK made by not putting his foot down early and often and maintaining order. Punk should have been dealt with for his scrum behavior and later the Bucks should have been dealt with for not wanting Punk around. All of the...

Since the Dark Souls thread is pretty dead I'll just ask this here: Speedrunning Dark Souls 1 (PB 10 hours or so) with a Guts build. Using a Greatsword. What should I aim at for infusion? Lightning +5 seems to have pretty much equivalent attack to maxed-out regular, plus lightning. Fire +5 is...

You gonna run SK on the new server? Not sure we've ever actually played at the same time outside of maybe a launch or two.

Oh damn, that many chapters are out? I'd like to read the whole thing but I'm not sure where I'll find the 90 hours I'd need for it. Shame the creator didn't get to see it through to the end, same thing happened with the Dragonball Super manga which I assume is also going to be drawn to a close...

Surprised Geico's score is so low, wow. Always thought they were a pretty solid insurance company. Had them for many years until this week. On Monday I'll need to make some phone calls / get some quotes and get something squared away for insurance, will probably start with the top of this list...

Souls games as a Guts cosplay, super fun (and the first time I've ever run the series with a Str build). After this, Stellar Blade, EQ TLP, Elden Ring DLC in back to back months. Though the Souls stuff will probably take me right up through ER, especially if I include Bloodborne.

Yeah, like, when I read all that I just go "But why?" It seems like they basically just wimped out of showing something remotely graphic.

I never got the allure of Sleeper loot to begin with (outside of selling them for large krono profits I guess). SoD is a decent weapon I suppose, for a short time. Give me a Primal weap to bandolier in and I'm good on that zone.

Yeah, even in the early-era Mischief I played (classic/kunark) there was so much loot that most things were basically worthless. When FBSS can drop from any mob (edit: any named) that's like 38ish, there are lots of FBSSes. If one's never played on this kind of server before and plans to farm...

I like that idea too in the way it resembles Terminator (incidentally the Terminator Genisys series was going to be a multiverse arc if it had been made as planned). Seph hunting down Aerith in various timelines is a pretty interesting concept. That brings me back to my biggest issue with the...

That was a real good episode. I feel like @pysek should watch it because a master race creating mud-people to be their slaves 30,000+ years ago and trying to wipe out or at least reduce the more rebellious / intelligent types of mud-people seems to have a lot of synergy with the modern world...
