    And if you take that and combine it with: Poll Question 2: Which expansions should be unlocked on the Progression Server when it first opens? What do you get? Like lets say "level cap bias" with Classic/Kunark opening - 5 months of Kunark, 5 months Velious, 6 months PoP. You TL;DR? Or just...

    No, and I see options to shorten it to 2 months or to start off with Kunark or Velious as well - far better than the "6 months of Classic" I had been worrying about. Oh and it looks like the 8 months of Classic option was completely canned as a possibility, that did exist before.

    You need an item from up where you get the Witchtree Branch and such. For SotFS there's key items you need to find. (Iron King DLC one is in the salamander area - not found the 3rd DLC key yet)

    I just did the loop of pigs and shadows right before Mergo herself - seemed best bang for the buck to me.

    Shrug, it's what cinches every PVP encounter I've had so far too, heh. 11-0 for defending on invasions so far mostly the magic making the difference.

    I find casting to be easy-mode even post nerfs, shrug - but it does depend on the mob - I never go pure caster but I do mix in plenty.

    I don't even use the ring - mix in a little magic, keep stuff upgraded, don't use things with stupidly wide sweeping attacks like halberds... wowsers I never even weapon swap besides when I go to a completely different mode.

    Oh whoops - I was thinking Fidel Castro was one of the Middle East big bads from Reagan era a sec... it's early for me... whoops. (I blame Fidel in Jagged Alliance for getting me confused into thinking he was ME!) Once I saw XXEXX mention Miami I was like... why is he... oh shit, that's why...

    For Farscape best method if you're rewatching from the start would be to Watch S1E1 through S1E3 or so to get the basic set up then just skip to S2 and watch the rest of S1 later. The reason why S1 is so bad is similar to how Babylon 5 S1 was bad - it was some setup for a few episodes then...

    I know, the enforcement is too low to prevent people - and honestly just like with any RL law when too many revolt against a law it can't be enforced. Which is going to make things interesting. (in a bad way...) I half wonder though if there is some idea they've got in the pipe for things -...

    Yea, it was an unusually hard zone for me too - layout is just terribly annoying, no one thing is particularly tricky (besides the Frenzy things) but the combo is challenging to get used to.

    I love the retards on the official boards "It's a DPS War - not KSing"... and even better "That's how it happened in Classic all the time..." Funny that I seem to remember raiding on the top end on many servers and I saw people back off or at least give the first one there a shot at the mob...

    I'd agree - just explaining them being rarer. They're definitely sensible in light of areas actually being dark besides the Gutter/etc now.

    Do you not toast your buns until they're a bit crusty? Heathen! Once they're toasted the texture really isn't that different, maybe SLIGHTLY chewier if both are completely fresh - but if the potato bun has a day or two of staleness on it, toast both and I bet they'd test on whatever "firmness...

    LOL, yes - stuff like the "Shadows" at the end of Mensis are like 15k a kill and those pigs, 40k I think - boss kills? I think around a half million with stacked XP runes for the later ones, like 200k for most of the early ones.

    Torches used to be far rarer in DS2 vanilla - like all the pre-spawned ones were there but there wasn't 200 of the torch carrying dudes that drop them with a 20-30% rate. It wasn't too rare to be running 25-30 min of torches at most in vanilla - going over 1 hr was an outlying case then.

    Yea only one there (And I think he said he already got that one) though - there's not too many until you're into Iron Keep that seems the point where they start getting plentiful enough to throw out without thinking about it.

    Don't listen to Noodle - he's quoting for the original still I'm 99% sure - while I wasn't locked out of progressing, it was going to force my game into a really weird progression order because I used up my branches on optional stuff like Betwixt/Heide's. DS2 NextGen is way more critical...

    Technically non-itemization wise there's some tweaks in NG+ they're really minor though (extra adds on one fight was the only one I personally noticed for the record). But it's pretty clear their normal NG+ focus went into the Chalice mode instead of NG+ - since that's where high level...

    I bet you the preorders allowed are a fraction of the total 3-5m production they quoted. They don't just sell most of their stuff directly. Big box stores and mobile carriers will most likely be stocking it as well.
