Not worried about the exp, that's why I said I knew they dropped it. Just curious if they nerf the amount of scrips you get for if you'll still get 30-39 yellow scrips per turn in for them.

Does anyone remember if stocking up on some gathering collectables from end of HW still gave decent red scrip return at start of Stormblood? I know they nuke the exp down to 10k per turn in immediately, but wondering if having capped yellow scrip with some Palladium Ore and Torreya logs to turn...

FF7 remake has me full chubb, but yeah XIV's expansion early release next Friday has me pumped as fuck for the next couple months, that's for sure. It's amazing how little I care about BFA's "big 8.2 patch" by comparison.

And it's basically the example now of something that was absolutely dead, and now is amazing.

If you want a coherent story, come to FF XIV

4 forwards making $6M+ a year and two of them with $11M+ cap hits...and Marner wants ~10. It's crazy.

Toronto Maple Leafs - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps Even with an $83M cap, they have less than $9M in cap space currently with only 10 forwards and 5 defensemen signed. Marner can't get anything close to what he wants without some moves happening.

Not that I'm doubting his sincerity, but I'm sure if Lampard came and they suddenly won another trophy next season this same fan might be calling him a savior. Its amazing what fans will rationalize to themselves. Not that I would be expecting that result in the slightest, btw.

@StoiCynic just saw some bit from AP or someone that Trouba's fiance is looking to do her residency, so tri state area was big target for him. He's going to marry her and all that...also makes it seem much more likely he'll re-sign there after this year.

I think with the Gudas deal and cap continuing to go up, the cap considerations aren't nearly as big a thing. Backstrom would be locked up before Holtby, and aside from two RFA's in Siegenthaler and Boyd (a 3rd pair Dman tops, and a 4th line forward tops) we won't have anyone else who needs a...

I should note too, that Backstrom can't actually sign an extension until July 1st hits. He's already said he'd love to sign one this summer, I wouldn't be shocked if its done shortly after July 1st hits. One of the other good things about the Niskanen for Gudas deal was that Gudas only has 1...

Hahah from who Larry Brooks? I wouldn't be shocked if Backstrom is extended before the season starts. Holtby's situation might be a bit dicier, though. I would put Backstrom getting shopped at like less than 1%. One, there's no viable top 6 center behind him, no matter how good people think...

I gotta be honest, it's crazy to me to see that John Carlson has the 2nd biggest cap hit on the Caps at $8M a year, but watching the elite D men get $11M+ a year now makes me feel a bit better about it. Also good chance Backstrom's new deal is slightly higher than $8M a year.

Well I can certainly understand this point. Speaking of Lampard, Chelsea are supposed to offer him a deal to manage, no?

Time flies as we all get older, but 53 years doesn't feel like only 10 days

The world map thing is an interesting decision, it would be nice to have something like the old school one. Although I haven't played XV myself, I've seen it played driving around and shit. Imagine seeing one of the Weapons in THAT style open world walking around or like the scene where...

This is obviously true, but its where we play, so that's what we get. Frankly, we'd get murdered 10x worse if we had to play in UEFA.

I know no non Caps fan wants to hear this, but Wilson did tone all that down last year after he came back...and once again turned up the actual scoring, this time to an even higher level if you go by a per game ratio since he only played 63 games. I'm actually really hoping Gudas can take some...

Especially THAT episode...if Jorah goes out and gets wrecked in the first scene, I agree completely it would have set an all bets are off vibe that would have been great especially with a few more main deaths.

That rebuild went super quick. Have to see if Kakko takes time to adjust, but man...Metro might be very, very interesting this coming year. I hate that your GM is killing it.

yeah either have Sam in the crypts to protect his role as future story teller guy or have him be heroic and die, not whine like a bitch among the bodies and live.

wtf. This is low key great.

I agree it wasn't nearly as enjoyable as the parade of Bruins' fans leaving Game 7.

On one hand, I felt the death Jorah ended up having on the show was pretty good in that we at least got to see the emotional effect on Dany...but I think I would have liked his version a whole lot better with a lot more deaths, and not just a few semi major guys with a few red shirts.

That is pretty much what I'm expecting. A lot of us are looking at the Berhalter hire and wondering if Tab Ramos would have been a better choice, but I'm not sure it would make much of a difference.

Our Gold Cup Match is tomorrow bro

Wondering if the 4th year helped bring the cap hit down a bit. He might have still been able to get something closer to his last deal if he'd waited. Or I guess he liked it in DC.

No of course that makes sense, it's just like when the materia cost in scrips came down for crafting/gathering IV's and V's this expansion. I'm not sure if they'll keep IV's as yellow scrips, cause you figure they'll swap V's to what IV's cost were in reds but to yellows, and lower the cost for...

Caps sign Hagelin, 4 years, $2.75M a year. Assuming he doesn't lose his skating, I'm okay with this. Kind of surprising, he was making $4M a year last year. Not that he deserved that still with his production, but signed pretty quickly.

They were going to have to change the currency anyways for those old books, as red scrips will be gone I assume with expansion and yellows will become the new reds and we'll get greens or something to be the next "high level" scrip.

That's what it's supposed to do, but since everyone just looks for the minimum they need to HQ through macros anyways, I think it might just end up reducing the need for HQ mats even further, unless they actually make raising quality through crafting more difficult. It might have been a better...

SB's crafting has definitely been easier, and I hope you're right that they make it harder to raise quality through actual crafting. As you noted, macros at the end game will always be about HQing with as little HQ mats as possible, I just worry the 75% thing from mats will just be an across...

Not sure I'm happy with the crafting changes to allow 75% HQ from mats. If it functions just as a nerf across the board making things easier I'm not sure what the real benefit is b/c they made some noise about wanting to make it more attractive for gatherers to gather HQ mats...but I think that...

Should have seen Max's chat the night that video is from, he was talking about how Jessie is basically hitting on Cloud the whole time during the bombing run. Jessie I'm guessing will basically be the new choice for the fanbois from this installment, or at least another choice.

4th edition and the Spellplague was...not well received and changed the setting quite a bit. 5th looked to roll back some/most of the unpopular changes, though not exactly to the same point things were previously with a lot of the stuff they undid.

No different really than noting which date of the year will be the most active for different meteor showers. Probably not a high percentage, but definitely a subset of people that enjoy knowing when these events happen.

You have to imagine once they have the combat and basic systems in place, subsequent "episodes" won't take as long to develop.

Guess it's been too long since the Penguins let Crosby do it which caused him to get multiple concussions in like 4 days. You'd think teams would learn.

The other spot the Warriors lost it was the foul line. Curry and Klay were 16-16 while the rest of the team was something like 5-14. That's just laughable.

I don't know if it's rare enough to be considered unusual, since "closest point" (or at least, relatively closest) happens roughly once a year (13 months), but the distance between the two planets varies from ~4.2 AU to ~6.2 AU. Not every "closest point" is the actual closest point, either, as...
