    That's why I just skipped the buying twink shit step, heh. Didn't ever buy anything for the ENC, had a BAM on him from getting lucky walking through RE and bumping into an extra and the rest is all raid drops that were rotting/XP drops.

    Ugh - RTS? Seriously? That bodes poorly for me too then.

    With how interconnected those are - seems like it for the most part when you're talking about "midrange" fuel limits. Yes, it removes the "tactic" of skipping star systems to jump straight for a home system first with insane fuel limits. But it also gets rid of the hassle of having ZERO...

    At least it's small tweaks - tweaking the existing design makes me far less leery than drastic ones would. Worst case, MoO2 is still there for me - but there's a glimmer of hope here. Yes there's reason to be dubious too, but it could go either way.

    Oh god - I hear it now... that little bit of hiss to his speech is a dead ringer. Wow, can't be unheard.

    The joke with the hands got pushed JUST enough - initially I was eyerolling at how ludicrous they were, but then it started becoming amusing.... then that was the apex.

    MoO2 on Steam > MoO2 on GOG - not that GOG is bad, but Steam is 100x more convenient. I did purchase that earlier today as well though - so I guess $56 towards supporting MoO2 is more accurate.

    Heh, budgets vary from person to person too - my gaming budget is around $400/mo and this month has cost me $70 so far - it'll end my month spending $120 total and putting $280 towards KD:M expansions in a few months when they're put up for non-KS people.

    I'm not white knighting anything - I'm saying MoO2 is good enough I won't feel like I wasted money at $50 - and they're checking the right boxes on giving me hope for it being decent. It might turn out to be a 1/10 from me, but bundling a Steam copy of MoO2 is worth $50 to me even if it is.

    Starlanes were sort of in with MoO2 anyway with "Wormholes" back then anyhow from memory. And while yea, if that's in as an early thing it would be mechanically different - sometimes a MoO2 map would be terribly linear because of only having 2 stars to spread to initially drastically limiting...

    MoO3 was clearly trying to reinvent the wheel from the first previews - I don't know if I made the comment on here/FoH.org back in the day or not - but my first comments to the wife on it were "that looks like Ascendancy, I guess Chris (an old friend that preferred Ascendancy back in the day)...

    Master of Orion

    And? "Only thing" SimTex had done before MoO original was nothing. As well as countless other examples. It looks legitimately from the play videos like MoO2 play with modern graphics and sound - without heavy tweaks otherwise. Seems like a likely slamdunk, since they're just refining what was...

    Eh, it's only $50 and I lost my MoO2 CDs long ago if they were even still usable. It's zero risk for me simply because of feeling comfortable paying that for MoO2 again.

    Herr's Old Bay DESTROYS Utz Crab. In fact, so frustrated with not seeing them down here that I just ordered a 9 pack of bags from Amazon - created a craving - that should last me close to a year though I hope.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Yea, the mobs I was killing would've been white through low yellow to the L39 (maybe the rare blue? I know they max at 42, 38-42 would be a typical spread, always do them at L50 though and lazy to con with the AFK bard) but exclusively low light blue to the mains. Still not amazing XP or...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    I half wonder if the increase is varied by level - my L50 I had grouped with my L39 seemed to be getting XP much quicker than before - felt substantial. Whereas he was getting like 1% for every 20% the L39 would get before, he got like 7% to her 30% earlier. Not sure how to explain that. Was...

    Necro guild guards. The drop real 2HS and 2HB worth 21-24pp a piece with 6 or so on a 6 min respawn cycle. Can also add specs in if you're bored for between 0-20pp in vendor loot per with a chance at Polished Steel Dirk - which did auction well previously - but not tried to sell one in an age...

    Not in charge. Never been in charge. All I do is nudge folks. (well mostly true - I'm a "semi-officer" as of about two weeks ago as part of the loot council - but I just help with loot calls) But honestly, HGs aren't all that. There's other camps with similar pp/hour without the stress. And I...

    That's what is being quoted for L1 testing, yea. XP math is always weird those levels though thanks to XP caps and such though.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    I was getting 1-2% a kill initially leveling (admittedly not on a XP bonus race/class) - that sounds like a big buff from my perspective. Regardless though first couple levels are always wonky with XP mods - I'd be hard pressed to use that as definitive.

    As a fellow supertaster it seems - I've got to call down some wrath for the denial of the quality of Salt & Vinegar chips. S&V chips are among the best chips. (Although I will say "All Dressed" Ruffles were better - but S&V was a part of that profile so....)

    I'll reevaluate later - but first impression doesn't excite me. I did make myself an amazing batch of chili for dinner not long ago though, so I might need to reevaluate at a fairer time. Seems like they might be good, but the flavor is subtle compared to what I'd expect.

    XP nerf on quests seems to be 80% - logic would be the inverse or close to the inverse - but only the nerf is on Test and they're not quoting the numbers for either.

    Heh, FL itself as a region is though - I believe my major grocery is HQ'ed in Tallahassee which is on armpit of the panhandle. Used to regional stuff like that still getting spread out. Hell, we're far closer than DC/Baltimore where I used to get them!

    Yep. Breezed through the whole rest. Lost 2 people in the first month or so. After that lost 1 dude while doing one of the missions leading up to the finale. Definitely curious to see how Commander difficulty ramps up now.
