We saw an equalist demonstration in the first episode of Book 1, just didn't see Amon himself until later. Yeah Kuvira is the "villain" but I think she is more of an antagonist than a scenery chewing naer do'well. Given the complete collapse of their society following the Queen's...

Oh! Well goddamn having periodic 100% crit chance is pretty damn useful considering how often it procs and that it lasts quite a while. Yeah Runes of Power still exists in WoD, its a talent choice and while most people will probably choose Mirror Image at that level, I always liked the...

The season pass for Borderlands 2 was worth it in my view. We got a ton of entertainment out of all the DLC included in that package. I think the lackluster implementation of the Queen event (go run the same stuff you already have been, only harder for terrible rewards after you do it...

What on earth is causing a periodic proc of Rune of Power on my Mage that drops a small blue circle on the ground that grants 100% crit chance when I stand in it? Is this some level 100 perk that doesn't show up or something? Maybe a Nagrand bonus, but I thought I saw it happen in another zone...

I wonder what the chances are of them adding a Garrison Level 4 a few patches into the expansion? I'm thinking fairly high given the comment your architect makes about ordering even bigger paper and the fact that there's still considerable space in the Garrison phase area.

Questing through Beta and doing only two normal modes dungeons and I hit 100 before setting foot in Nagrand. I'm a completist though and made sure I had finished the main story plus all side missions and as many of the regional elites as possible before moving on. Spires of Arak is my...

Well from a Mage point of view they did reduce the number of spells you have in any given spec by a decent number, but it really hasn't changed the bread and butter that much for me. There are a lot of abilities as an Arcane Mage that I never used or used very infrequently from Fire and Frost...

I wonder how much of Spires of Arak is based on what they had originally intended for Skettis during Burning Crusade but simply ran out of time for. I think they slightly de-aged khadgar (giving him a much needed shave and haircut) because they wanted to use a powerful neutral mage and Jaina...

Its very distracting doing Spires of Arak since Rashad is voiced by Megatron...

New trailer

How do the Goblins feature in the Iron Horde? All the technology that makes the Iron Horde powerful is Goblin engineering. There are even lots of Goblins you run into as part of the Iron Horde during WoD questing... That doesn't exactly jive with the all-orc racial purity thing. Garrosh could...

Well to the extent that they have a story mandate for the films they need to reinforce the idea that the world is destabilized following the resurgence of Hydra and the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D. last year in order to both set up the initial confrontation between the Avengers and Hydra where the...

I had three pieces of mail in the box. Two from the Cryptard and one from Vanguard, each of them had a purple item or engram. Changing Ascendant items to purple was just for the sake of appearance I hope. If they made them genuinely rare from blue engrams I will be quite sad

Well some people had said that they were holding onto engrams in the mail to hopefully get guaranteed legendary from purple engrams and that they had turned blue. I did not have this experience with my held-over engrams.

I didn't so much as touch my mailbox for the past few days and when I logged in after the patch my faction-level-boost reward emails had purple items in them (actual items as well as engrams). Also got a very cool looking shader with a very... odd name.

One of the upgrades from the Garrison grants undazable mounts.

Porting to Garrison is one-way, you have to fly back unless you have a Mage Tower and then you can at least port over to a nearby hub. You have a UI element to check on progress but have to use a "Command Table" to complete missions or assign followers to new activities. You get command...

Placing the orbs would be one thing, but they don't get placed. They spawn randomly next to people and unless people stay very still they aren't even useful for us to manually detonate since the orbs tend to be left in the wake of the group rather than next to anyone who is actually hurt...

Started running through the expansion quests because I figured it would be good to understand the Garrison before launch. Holy cow does this not feel like it comes out in a month. Buggy as heck quests, the new map interface which seemed very intuitive from overviews is frustrating as hell...

Double post

Well I was doing a dungeon and noticed that my mana bar never moved unless I cast Surging Mist, so it seems to still be a significant chunk of mana. It's also quite slow, I was only using it for Chi generation when things got hairy. Otherwise it was Soothing and Renewing with the occasional...

Yup dormant Inhuman is my bet as well. Kinda funny then that "Muadib" is almost certainly an Inhuman.

Taking a break from Destiny for an evening I was mucking around in WoD with my Mistweaver and things are definitely a lot different. Building Chi is much more controlled, but also much more annoying if you had been used to channeling Soothing Mist as a primary means to generate Chi since Chi...

Doubly so when you consider the bounties that require you have Rank 2 already in order to do them (needing the Class item plus the shader and symbol). Is anyone really so keen after getting Rank 2 to go and do PVP-only bounties to grind towards a shader with a slightly darker purple?

Ahhh apparently they wanted to have a "final" major codebase to work from and then do incremental updates to that on a constant basis rather than have a Windows 11, 12, etc. I can see how that would appeal to the Enterprise people especially because they could justify the update to Windows 10...

So it was officially announced today : Microsoft's next OS is Windows 10, will ship later in 2015 Windows 10 Hands-On: Well Hello There, Start Menu! Microsoft Announces Windows 10 | TechCrunch Looks pretty slick, adding the Live Tiles to the Start Menu seems like a very obvious...

Is anyone at Bungie doing a cost-benefit analysis on things like the faction vendors? I am thinking specifically of the Queen faction vendor seeing as the weapons she sells, while somewhat attractive at level 20, are almost guaranteed to be useless. The sheer quantity of content you have to do...

It does seem to be mirroring the early 20th century social upheaval and empire building.

Blue fusion rifles on sale until 1pm eastern, 10 AM pacific. It's kind of insulting that the Cryptarch still has white engrams for sale. I could maybe understand it if we had a means to customize appearance with transmits or whatever, but as it is there's no point in it.

I'm pretty sure they are convinced they have a long lasting IP based on the preorder sales and sales to date. I really think they underestimate how they look to gamers who don't read reddit articles or go to bungie.net to look at the Grimoire. Those people aren't going to post on a forum...

I thought you werent supposed to get a repeat exotic bounty? I already did Pocket Infinity and I'm getting offered that same bounty again.

I thought that read ark nads at first...

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Skill Trees Game has gone gold and the skill trees are published. Claptrap's trees look amazeballs, as does the comedic value of his action skill. I am definitely going Claptrap

Hmmm it looks like we may have a new companion...and its not Danny Pink It also highlights even further how much this series is echoing that of the first doctor

Ooooo. Good use of Carol Kane!

I never asked anyone to service me or to carry me. The people I had done the scenarios with got past the dungeon step and the guild started raiding at which point no one did dungeons. I joined PUGs for two weeks with no luck, joined the channel that someone else on the server set up for...

Fair enough, but given that everything has been so simple these guys are blissfully unaware of even basic mechanics. Just getting the door open was a trial in language comprehension

Trying to explain how the first raid works to MMO newbs is a pain that will linger for some time... I really think they should have started with something a bit less complex even if it seems trivial to MMO vets.

I cant help but think that they (and indeed everything) had a much more elegant backstory once upon a time. Probably tied into why both the Fallen and the Cabal are fighting against the Vex. Like if the Vex were intergalactic forces of Order who were trying to keep part of the Traveler's...

The degree to which this makes no sense is quite staggering.
