    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    It's a gentle shilling though. I suspect this bag is on the less expensive side of things to get people to also spring for a mount.

    Everquest - Selos Server - 20th Anniversary Casual Server

    The defensive values of Necromancer (and Magician) pets are reduced until LDoN unlocks. It's a major nerf to the low level pets but it's manageable on the 48 and 59 pets. Stick to grouping during most of the leveling process and you'll get by fine.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I always thought hyperspace was a FTL-workaround where you are taking shortcuts through subspace (or the Star Wars equivalent) rather than just going a zillion miles per hour. I guess not?

    The Walking Dead

    If you liked some of what they were doing with the show the comic is pretty good. There is something like 180+ issues of it now and it has yet to make me regret bothering keeping on it.

    I can't think of one. After the Negan arc is the arc with the Whisperers and while time passes between the two it's nothing like seven years.

    The Walking Dead

    I haven't watched the show but I did not find them to be lame in the comic. They were fairly menacing and dangerous and skilled at directing zombie hoards at things they want to not exist.

    The Twilight Zone

    The Twilight Zone was so memorable due to Rod Serling's writing and the amount of excellent short stories that the show pillaged for episodes. It was also willing to vary wildly in tone and style from episode to episode. In the same season you follow around a former SS officer as he returns to...

    Paradoxically if he was as bad as he appeared he wouldn't be anywhere near as entertaining. I think he was just someone that was very shy and a bit awkward and Twitch lets the part of him that is smart and funny make it through. I've known people that were like that, where it took a bit of work...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Pick the class you have the most nostalgia for and then be sad that Bards aren't anywhere near as cool as you thought they were and your very existence is cheapened by everyone having boxed Bards.

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    Every class should be about as you remember it. The only changes that really come to mind are everyone getting at level 5 an AA called Origin that lets them return to their starting city and melee doing a little more auto attack damage starting at 40 than they would have done back in era.

    The initial log in on the first day might be clownshoes for a few hours but for a while now Daybreak has instituted pickzones on TLP servers. Basically each zone in the game, upon reaching a certain threshold of people (it's different for each zone) will spawn an instance of that zone. To access...

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    Magician and Necromancer pet defensive values are decreased on TLP servers. Their defensive values are restored when LDoN unlocks. It's a moderate hit to Necromancers (mostly early on, the end game pets are mostly the same but the low level ones are much worse) and a small nerf to Magicians.

    Wait what?

    Divinity: Original Sin 2

    The way defensive stats scale on gear and the way enemy damage scales it is in your best interest to be wearing the highest level stuff you can at each level in every slot even if you would be replacing something lower level that has more of the other stuff that you would want. If your armor and...

    bro, c'mon As someone that is incredibly cheap I will say that I never regretted the 40 slot I bought on Agnarr. It's not really 35 dollars for a bag as much as it is 35 dollars to have every session of play just be a little more pleasant.

    X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)

    I can't think of one off the top of my head but different powers have been used in a multiplicative fashion a number of times. Gambit mega charging Sebastian Shaw, Cyclops using Bishop as a kind of focus, that sort of thing. The lightning storm calls down has been shown to do fuckall to Magneto.

    As a kind of design philosophy regarding the size of the world and ease of travel I could sorta understand it but this is entirely out of nowhere. Why now and why so suddenly? It honestly comes off as capricious when the budget for that kind of attitude is already in the red. Did I miss...

    Everquest - 20th Anniversary TLP

    It clear immediately that defining the new servers as "ultra-casual" and "hardcore" was an error. Having to moderate the same tired arguments day after day even after the servers were re-labeled "fast" and "standard" wouldn't be a good time.

    The son is taught to be stoic, he sacrifices his own dreams to run the family farm as it is what society needs him to do, as an adult he's portrayed as an asshole hick and then he's forgotten about completely by everyone. Honestly he should have been written out of the story completely. He's...

    The first set with no reserved list is Mercadian Masques. From MM to the start of Modern plus all the older cards never added to the reserved PLUS new cards is a lot of damn cards. One of my working theories for a while has been that they would push Modern into the slot that Legacy holds...

    It's ghetto but one of the things you can do if you're charming something really spicy is break the charm, mez it, blur it and let it regen naturally for a minute or two rather than have the Druid or Shaman pour mana in to it.

    I know that the Paineel newbie area, Tox, Kerra (which is now just an island in Tox instead of its own zone), Warrens, and Stonebrunt are all good zones without much to go wrong in any of them.
