    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    If you're showing up during an exp holiday you can get down that far. Zaide did an exhibition leveling run last year or the year before that and was finished in under 24. That's a different animal than a launch run though.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Gates is the first expansion that changes the TLP exp rate so that's definitely a boost. What's the lowest level content the rest of the expansion has?

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Do you mean on TLPs? Zaide's crew made it to 50 in I think just under 30 hours which was BLAZING fast even with access to better loot through the Mischief ruleset. On Aradune he clocked in server first to 50 at 39ish hours which is plenty damn fast but closer to expected. That's with exp pots...

    TEB was big enough and successful enough that it wouldn't be surprising if it got an unlicensed bootleg franchise guild on whatever the May TLP is.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Given how many episodes where her implants or nanoprobes are modified to save to the day they were probably afraid if they did that they'd have nothing else to work with. In place of character development how about some fully clothed spooning with a holographic Chakotay? Put a little vanilla on...

    There, did 40/40 for the first time ever to close things out. I dumped most of my shit in to the guild tab so have at it. I stuck things in their appropriate tabs so it's probably worth pawing over things.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    Sleeper/Combine unlocked once an expansion was complete which could include different things for different expansions. At least one of each epic had to be completed in Kunark for example. There was also I think a one month minimum duration for each expansion.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Voyager aggressively hit the reset button from episode to episode both in terms of ignoring damage to the ship, limited resources, information gained and (perhaps worst of all) character development. That show doesn't even get through the first half of season one before we get a "will they get...

    I don't know how it works for automotive paint but your generic home depot menards type place can do color matches. You get them a hunk of the color you want matched and the machine tells them how many squirts of whatever it takes to make it. Although this video gives the impression he's doing...

    TSFS is alright. Most of its problem is it is sandwiched between The Wrath of Khan which is A+ and The Voyage Home which had massive general audience appeal (and is just fun) while making a mountain of cash at the box office.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    They can still sell me on an EQ+ where they go through and revamp vanilla with more challenging encounters, updated loot tables, a new loot table, another pass at class balance, etc. I've seen what people can do with hacked roms for free.

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I bring it up all the time but I want these TLPs to adopt a Path of Exile style challenge system where as you do shit and check boxes you unlock cosmetics, titles, etc. The existing achievement system is most of the way there already. Combine the release of that new system with a TSS start...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    I think there's a lot of merit for them to get more players to play more expansions but a mostly vanilla ruleset beginning at Gates isn't going to do much of that. I can't believe there's a great deal of public demand for such a server so I'm left thinking their goal is to increase the amount of...

    EQ TLP - Vaniki (Level-Locked Progression)

    A Gates of Discord start now would be pretty bad. If anyone wants some GoD action we've got two TLPs at LDoN. Hop in and get going. Launching a GoD start server as existing TLPs are in that expansion would be bizarre. Doing something like this as part of a Selo-style event server (Fall launch)...

    Stand by Me is based on The Body which is one of four novellas part of King's book Different Seasons. Included in this are Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, The Body and Apt Pupil. Apt Pupil the film is pretty decent but it doesn't stand out as much as the other two.

    Who do you think is the greatest actor?

    Tom Cruise is good in a lot of things. He's A+ as Lestat in Interview With the Vampire. He also steals the show in Tropic Thunder. What Cruise would be lacking would be the big catalog of great roles that some of his peers possess.

    I didn't get very far in FF14 and I haven't played every WoW expansion (or any of Shadowlands) but from my experience FF14 makes the player character the focus where as in WoW that happening is the exception or very, very shallow. That shallowness puts more weight on the numbers aspect so a...
