I have zero objections to revisting class balance in the level 70 era that people far more knowledgable than I agree is fuckarooed. I've heard that from basically every smart person I know and have zero reason to doubt it is true.

At no point did I say that if someone tells you they quit because of X achtually quit because of Y. That's a weird thing to saddle me with. Why don't people give more of the post-Planes of Power expansions a try? The opportunity cost is too great. Those eras take too long to get to and showing...

Well of course! That's what we call a pro gamer move. You quit when you're not having that great a time and you know there's three months left and two of those had LDoN bolted on top. Blaming PoP when PoP is five months total is 100% fair. On Mischief it's four months and that's still too...

Yes but also no. Do you (still) have a smear of old blood next to your bed from your bleeding gums where you would wipe your mouth and then wipe the wall when you woke up each morning? Did you lose a bunch of your teeth due to terrible habits and then also just not get them fixed when you had...

Correct and he's not going anywhere. He's living where he wants to live.

He could for sure end up penniless but he comes off way more hoarder/hermit/miser than a tardo buying a new sports car every time one throws a rod because he's never in his life had an oil change.

PoP is too fucking long. The time necessary to hop in really late is a substantial investment before you get to the thing you really want to do. If PoP was shorter it would grind less people down and if it was easier to hop in late you'd get a few more people showing up down the road. I think...

Violence started to take a back seat in the early 2000s as studios worked to get as close to R as possible without actually getting there. You certainly didn't make a film that was just barely R. The traditional "has some blood has some boobs" R rating mostly died. As an example I will use The...

Reminder that Todd fought at some of the same battles as Roy Batty Same universe as Bladerunner according to a writer from both films.

Got some boobs, some robot zombies, Bruce Campbell. You could do worse.

After those two probably but even before they went ham with it the skill was perfectly fine for starting out. Minions are just good.

Event Horizon is what happens when a ship tries to travel through The Warp without the benefit of the God Emperor of Mankind's astral beacon and without a psyker. It is not recommended. I like the movie but it's so obviously The Warp I find it a little distracting. If we're recommending...

More races for Demon Hunters lets goooooo.

We've all seen this one right well I'm posting it again it makes me smile.

Oh, right. They did hand out a lot of suspensions including a few an hour before an expansion launch for repeat offenders. That was new, waiting until Velious was an hour away to start tossing people for a week or two.

Did Aradune have any special rules?

If someone needs more Evil Superman in their life there's always the Irredeemable comic. https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Irredeemable/Issue-1?id=9371 They're not bad at all. There's also a spinoff (Incorruptible) where a redeemed villain and his sidekick try and be not monsters. It's ok.

Yes. Spectral Helix is fine but it's a different kind of thing.

I remember liking Head of the Class.

I don't have any idea what's on the table but they could both scale back the sugar while adding features in a PoE league style manner where there is a new twist but not stacked on top of every single other previous twist.

I think it could have been an excellent ten or so episode limited series on a Netflix or Amazon. It was already telling a series of small, interconnected stories. Spend a little time in Tibet, spend a little time with the ex-cop looking for the missing girl, spend a little time with the cultist...

Always minions. Always.

I don't know how it went in the show but in the comics when we start to get more of Negan's backstory the reason he became a monster is because people were too fucking stupid to stay alive on their own and he couldn't stand to see it any longer. He even gets a "walks off in to the sunset" ending...

The opposite actually. Fear prevented people from doing what needed to be done at the start. See also Night of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead (original) and World War Z (the book). Unrelated -

That's more the case. They look at their lives and resent those more successful than they are. This is especially pronounced in the pseudo-bourgeoisie intellectual class we have in places like higher education. How can the system be said to be anything but a disaster if someone such as I am not...

It's probably have a little story about coal mining and then half explaining why socialists claim to support the working class but really just hate rich people. Which is true. They don't love the poor they hate the wealthy.

Lies. Those fucking weebs were weebing it up with their tentacle porn and personified anime girl aircraft and ships forever.

Dies off screen pre-league start oh wait she's actually the villain or she's been corrupted betcha didn't see that coming would be pretty lame, yeah.

Villains are constantly old player characters. The only way to stop them is to stop playing rather than making new characters to kill them.

I've said this before but if you like the stuff JP is saying than go through the books it all comes from. Start with The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. That dude loves himself some Joseph Campbell. Read the books he recommends in his Maps of Meaning class (Gulag Archipelago, Road...

Battlegrounds could be interesting. I also think that a WoW style arena could be neat as a gimmick. Queue up 3v3 or 6v6 and then have a ladder and some rewards.

I'm just not going to have those kind of answers. I'm just sharing some stuff from a video I listened to today.

I'm willing to give Phreak's nerding math the benefit of the doubt. He says the damage on it got nerfed really really hard. I don't have the time code, I was listening to this while doing other things.

He makes it through to the first act and then dies. I think he's the first one the monster kills but it takes maybe 20 minutes to get there.

I honestly have no idea what the implications are of that.

One of my favorite examples - I believe he has one scene.

Aradune saw I think one AoW fought in the arena and unfortunately the game couldn't really handle mass combat.

What you end up doing is sticking a bunch of toons FD in places with a drink bird going that does something like say Jimble Jamble %t is up in a password locked private chat channel and an audio trigger set to play something very loud when the proper condition is met. Then you get trained a lot...

When I say that I would like another shot at EQ PvP and spitball something I do not for one moment think it will happen, should happen, be successful or be enjoyable for hardly anyone. It would be a toxic hot mess at best. Hell, that's the appeal. I want all the usual suspects show up to one of...
