    It's a big part of it for paper tournaments yea. They also fuck up a lot of design space for cards in general, so while the shuffling is less of an impact in digital, their impact on making an otherwise benign card like Gurmag Angler in to a multi-format powerhouse is something they'd much...

    Their business model does not support adding the literal 10,000+ cards of modern in to Arena - there's simply no way the economy can process that unless they want to massively, massively overhaul how wildcards and crafting are handled, or sell modern packs at 1/10th normal pack price, etc. It's...

    Not modern as we know it currently. We'll get an Arena modern format, but they'll never back port it to 8th edition. Legacy will be phased out of official support entirely (or what was left of it), the cards from pre-8th they want in modern will get printed in to it via these new sets and modern...

    So as excited as I am about the idea of getting older cards like Innocent Blood or Counterspell in to modern, the more I think about this new set the more I hate it. The core reason this exists is for WoTC to be able to monetize modern players in the same way they do standard - by herding them...

    Wingman and R-301 both feel that way yea. The real FPS autismos just melt face with either and you'll lose every gun fight vs them any anything even close to equal footing. The Peace Keeper is truly the gun of the people and the great equalizier!

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    This is pretty close to what I'm leaning towards, minus the Paludal. It's gonna be the Unrest of Luclin and just not worth the crowding and hassle I don't think. I feel like a pure Luclin progression wins almost by default due to general mob density and lack of travel time? Plus most of the...

    Has anyone actually powerleveled from scratch with access to Velious/Luclin? Trying to figure out where to grind initially and everyone just keeps wanting to do old world, but boy that just can't be right with access to so many expansions.

    It depends really on what their goals are for character balance and the hitboxes. If their plan is to have the same baseline of "stats" for everyone (hp, movespeed, etc) then they HAVE to fix the hitboxes one way or another. If they are fine with having more distinction between the characters...

    Might as well just remove gas nazi from the game at this point. Gibralter at least has the big dick airstrike and his shield is extremely good in certain spots, but unless they plan some major overhauls for the nazi I'm not even sure what the point of him is? At the very least his traps need to...

    Darkest Dungeon 2

    Crimson Court nearly ruins the game after you play it enough unfortunately. It starts out decently interesting with the massive layouts and new enemies, but eventually it just spreads to the entire game and it removes all the layers of strategy in planing your team comp/trinkets for specific...

    Yea I don't really get it either. It punishes the fuck out of anyone wanting to deep delve, but you can still perma farm depth 40 fossils at 500% movespeed? In what world does that make sense. The veiled mods as well sound like cancer to acquire/level up, unless they've dramatically increased...

    Really need some hard numbers on Betrayal going core here, as based on what their blog said it sounds like aids? Good scarabs all eating massive nerfs + breachstone nerfs + far less frequent syndicates means way less safehouses. So what are the rewards for it now? You still get to randomly die...

    Hypergeometric math is what, like 98% to hit a leyline if you mull all the way down to 1? I look forward to watching that game on camera vs dredge. This probably also makes modern belcher actually playable. I cannot imagine this becoming the actual new rule after whatever dumpster fire happens...

    I'm gonna be sad mad if they shit out 3 new characters and don't make gas nazi actually playable. Need a 3rd to drop with if anyone is playing solo add me zeromancer01 - game is completely overrun with literal children and you're better off just not playing that using a random filler.

    Grelwoods tanked in price pretty quick. 2+ex lasted for about a week, and then fell under 1ex by about 2-3 weeks, so depends on how fast you want to get your starter up to speed. Xophs price is kinda up in the air cause a lot will depend on if pure breachstones are still a thing. Buying a +2...

    This comes up every time they bring singleton back. The rack/petitioner decks are bad and you should feel bad if you lose to them. They are basically the "you must be this tall to ride" restrictions of the format - if you can't consistently beat those you need to go re-evaluate what you're doing.

    Best of one is a nonsense format and this is just kicking the can down the road. Are they gonna ban cards from mono red next? And the next dominant deck after that? Or are they going to warp future magic design to try and make best of 1 a functional format? None of these options are good. Nexus...

    One month unlocks with fast XP and a luclin start at least means Selo will be fun to dick around on. Most classes are viable by that era, there's actual gear for melee to use, etc. No way am I socking any of this though.

    Yea I'm not sure why the breachstones matter at all. If a bunch of people wanna turn their EX in to levels who cares? The grind beginning at like level 93-94 is such that I have 0 interest in it and all my builds basically consider that their final passive point - anything else is just gravy.

    There are probably actually less foil Monoliths than there are Tabernacles I'd wager. Foil rate back then was way, way lower than current foil rates, and sets had more rares in general in them. There was also a lot of Legends printed, especially if you count the Italian runs.

    Probably - I'm pretty sure the mastiff is just worse than a peacekeeper. Supply drops in general (aside from medic freebies) are mostly a trap anyway. Gold backpacks are about the only reward that makes the risk even remotely worth it. Neither of the guns are good enough to justify the...

    I can't imagine syndicate goes core in its current form? They'd need to increase the safehouse intel gains by like 10 fold in order to have any reasonable level of interaction with the mechanics if it's going to be a once every 5-6 maps or whatever encounter. The crafting bench recipes from...
