    Everquest - Live Servers

    EverQuest - Empires of Kunark Empires of Kunark Livestream: Thurs, Oct 6 @ 10AM PDT | EverQuest Forums No level increase: mentioned near the end of the stream and when asked about level increases in the future the answer was basically well it takes almost a full year just to do a level...

    The Flash

    Barry and Iris went to school with each other at least from the terrible conversation they had. I dunno, that whole period spent in that fantasy land was terrible and I'm glad it's gone.

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I don't think I've ever world-dominated a given mod or vanilla more than once, but I've done multiple 'play throughs' of a mod where I basically terminate it after I've pretty much reached God-Tier status. I don't know how other people play M&B but I pretty much play all the mods the same way...

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    Note that ESO, Archeage and Black Desert Online are recent MMOs with siege systems very similar to Shadowbane's concepts. Same with GW2 though that's a bit older. There isn't really a cookie-cutter system for large scale castle sieges because there are so many mechanics to get right. I've done...

    The Flash

    I noticed that too. My guess was that in the alternate timeline Barry wasn't there to force Joe to step up and be the best dad of all time in a "It's a wonderful life" kind of way. So he kind of stepped away from being Barry's dad, his job etc.

    Marvel's Luke Cage

    I agree on Diamondback's outfit. They should have done a much better job on it. I'm guessing the budget for Ironman's CGI in a movie is more than the entire Luke Cage season, but they needed to do more than a brown jumpsuit and a dorky helmet. But, I didn't care too much about it. And I enjoyed...

    The Flash

    Kind of disappointed with the first episode. Was hoping he created a dystopian Back to the Future II world, like Flashpoint. Instead it was the end of Back to the Future I. Until Kid Flash got stabbed and his powers went away suddenly and Barry went and let his worst nemesis out to kill his...

    Someone should make a better alternative to EQ EMU

    Wait, you're saying, Permafrost, Dreadlands and ToV are instanced in live servers?

    Someone should make a better alternative to EQ EMU

    Wow, i had wondered what they did to undo all the ez moding. What pre-pop is instanced?

    Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

    I've got my eye on TLD. Cozur (ACOK lead mod) is a turd nugget but it's kind of funny to see him be a dick. I mean, he releases content and the mod is generally bug free, so it's all you can ask of someone really.

    Serious question: What does an emulated EQ server have over the TLP servers?

    Poll Do you think Trump will actually win the presidency in November?

    This. And at this point I think he's incapable of not taking a less retarded approach. He isn't a master persuader who is choosing his approach. He is who he is and probably won't change. That being said, I think his chances of winning are roughly 30%. A lot could happen in a month and there's...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    If I played on the TLP servers the biggest thing I'd miss from live is the 70 or so abilities I use beyond taunt and kick. I guess I'd probably just have to 6 box instead of 3box and my APM would be high anyway. The Phingel server is a true box server right? I don't know what the fuck a warrior...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Personally I like playing modern EQ because: 1. Coming back there's so much content and a lot of the time is just spent exploring new areas and enemies for the first time (and executing hordes of them because it's 6 years old). Besides the amount of content there's a lot of diversity because it...

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    Also every raid zone should have one easy raid with a high individual skill requirement to avoid dying to kill all the shitters.

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    You could balance it such that you get both, yeah. And it'd depend on the social dynamics and inertia as well. If the next EQ expansion, for example, had this and the gear was good enough to make the previous expansion's gear obsolete, you'd see guilds do the raid contents at least once, then...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Yep. I ignored the advloot window for months for that reason. However once I started using it it's going to be tough to go back to not having it. It's amazing when clearing old zones. It increases my kill speed by like 10x while farming entire zones. BTW: I finally got this yesterday Added...

    Would work but would be slower than having a couple people training the mobs to a central location.

    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    I like raiding because I enjoy being part of large (50+ people) communities, and raiding brings everyone together in a literal sense. Without a reason to get together, there's no reason to form guilds and the community tends to stratifies on cliques and capability. This isn't a bad thing...

    Ignoring this deflated dick measuring, "can never hurt me." Because the context used is: Susan: "Teacher! Bobby called me a spite tongue!" Teacher: "Bobby, don't call people names. Susan, go back to your school work." Susan: "But teacher, I demand retribution." Teacher: "Sticks and stones...

    Marvel's Luke Cage

    Finished the season, loved every moment of it. I liked it better than DD or JJ for the simple reason that the protagonist was likable. Cornell was a great antagonist but had to go after the first half of the season. He was always going to be the first step that Luke Cage climbed up and over...

    If you were a self driving car...

    I prioritized saving the vehicle on the rational and efficient market hypothesis of autonomy. Moral Machine This also meant saving the baby driver and saving the car full of animals. I believe the baby is a genius and the animals are the rare evolved form of animals and should be saved.

    Dead ends in software development aren't necessarily R&D. Sometimes it's just stupid ideas or poor execution.

    Came to post that, I want to load that up to take a look. I wonder how much of it was done outside of Minecraft. A lot of repetitive structures in it.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    They are claiming they will put it in space, but theyve given very few details about how they will test whether it produces thrust. And i doubt they will do their test under indeoendent verification or release the results. Cannae has always been about marketing and attracting VC or other...

    After thinking about it some, my previous statements might have been a little harsh and judgemental. I'm hopeful and look forward to playing Bannerlord.

    I think realizing fun > real would have saved them a lot of development time. Hopefully they apply that methodology to the rest of their game before I play it.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Note that the Cannae drive isn't the same as an EMDrive. The differences are pretty small, but the important thing is that it's a propellentless design. Like the EMDrive, it's probably bullshit. But the Cannae is unique in that the group making it is very sketchy. Cubesat Mission...

    Im hopeful but i guess how i feel is tbat warband, strictly speaking, isnt that great of a game and the developers probably arent that talented. But they got real kucky with warband and ill be impressed if they dont botch the sequel.

    Virtual Reality

    I sold my Oculus CV1 days after I got it. I made a profit and don't regret buying it, but even if that option wasn't available I doubt I'd play it much. It just doesn't cross the very high threshold needed to be worth it over a traditional experience. Once the refresh rate, FOV and resolution...
