How is she even able to Is any of this explained in the books?

As someone who has never read the books I liked season 1 and I thoroughly enjoyed season 2, but I’m not sure I’m really interested in a season 3. I feel like all the mysteries have somewhat been answered regarding Empire and I simply never cared about the Foundation itself or the coming...

I want to laugh at the blind shills over the past 3-6+ months in this thread who couldn’t wait to get their hands on this game and absolutely refused to even look at the smallest bit of criticism (especially the one or two 🌈 who kept saying “bUt U pLaYeD DI”), but I can’t. This was a train...

Liam Hemsworth is either desperate for work or he’s a masochist. If this is the best they can do with HC while literally everyone agrees HC has carried this show, imagine just how bad season 4 is going to be. My only fear at this point is that so many people are going to hate watch Season 4...

Any reviews on The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune by anyone here whose read it? The author seems to have a growing passionate fan base but the reviews I’ve read are a bit inconsistent.

You’re good. Original 1-3 and then 9-11 are all you need story/lore wise. Thought Boon said somewhere sometime back that he wasn’t even involved in several of the games after 4 and that he doesn’t recognize them as cannon. The only characters from 4+ that make an appearance in the reboot that...

Original MK - Armageddon: Earth and all allied realms eventually fall. Raiden sends back his consciousness before his final death blow to himself to before the original tournament. MK9 - MK11: First reboot. Raiden with all his future memories intact realizes he needs to do things differently...

Theres a reason why publishers won’t print books 2+ and that’s because historically they’ve been terrible sellers. I think it might have been Subterranean Press that said it recently, but to even make a profit after negotiating rights to obtain a title + finding a printer willing to do a half...

For books that are usually $600+, most are usually super rich collectors that like to display their favorite books/series and they do tend to hold their value. There are a few people crazy enough that read them at that price range. For what it’s worth though, you really do get what you pay for...

I know this is an old post but Centipede Press is in the process of doing the entire series, both as Limited/Signed and Unsigned if you have a significant chunk of change. Retail is around $650ish per book (with Signed/Limited being more) and they’ve published book 2 last month. You can buy...

Also @Intrinsic you purchased the original first print run from SP, right? Did you preorder Forge of Darkness? For anyone else that got on the first printing SubPress train for Malazan, preorders for Forge end the end of the month I think and if you’re not interested in purchasing the Malazan...

It’s been so long for me that I’m not sure what you’re referring to in all of the above. Brother? Which assassin? The reborn mage being Tattersail? Erikson focuses mostly on the Malazan army and their exploits and how it shapes things, but Esslemonts books tend to focus on the Empire itself...

This thread is more entertaining than D4 beta.

I’m not going to defend DI; I and others have wrote extensively enough regarding both the good and bad regarding that game. I do want to point out some irony though in that it seems like everyone loves to shit on DI without even playing it yet many of those same people are so eager to get their...

Source is the 25+ people in my DI immortal clan whose opinions I trust who all played the other betas and tested endgame and echoed the same thing exactly: Necro blazes through the early game and by end game you’re going to be switching to Druid or Barb for the higher difficulities. But like...

Supposidly Necro starts to slow down midgame and struggles a bit compared to many of the classes at endgame. Didn’t get to play too much but beta so far seems fine. Out of all the 3 main games in the series so far it feels closest to the original to me, which for me is a good thing. It seems...

They ever sell out of their super duper limited “collection box” that comes with a singular fake candle and no game? If anything I’m surprised how many are trying this beta. Sad that the biggest complaint seems to be the game feels pretty bland and I’m not even sure that was a complaint with...

Candle! You don't even get two! It's a misleading picture to show both "sides" of the singular candle and Blizzard doesn't bother to note that other than by saying candle at the bottom in the description. The D3 collectors edition got shit on too but for $100 you got the actual (physical)...

$100 "collectors box" doesn't include the game, lol. Limited to 50,000 on the 15th from B.net store. Candle of Creation (electric) Cloth Map of Sanctuary Diablo IV Collector’s Edition Art Book Occult Mousepad Pin of the Horadrim Two Matted Fine Art Prints Sized 18.54” x 10.79” Standard...

To the absolute surprise of no one… https://www.eurogamer.net/diablo-4-development-plagued-by-chaos-and-mismanagement-claims-new-report?fbclid=IwAR3yp1JnjhqpJumpD-EdqA6L5xfRcKhVlyT63VU3mH1B7vGF_Gdjq3G7fMU

Has anyone read the Sword of Kaigen? Thoughts?

I might be passing too, or at the very least this won’t be a day one pickup. I asked in the Grimoak Press group if there was any possibility for them to pick up the series but it sounds like because MIdworld picked it up the rights are potentially locked, which means with Glen’s age that this...

Yeah I noticed that too with the centering and the title font feels weird to me. Only thing I can think of is that the guy is trying to keep his books at $100 or less because at $150 - $200 you enter into Sub Press/Grim Oak/Curious King/Suntup territory and he probably knows he can't compete...

Preorder Saturday, November 19th 12:00 PM Central US/Canada Only from main site. 500 Copies, Signed/Numbered $90.00 (Shipping/Tax you’re looking at $120ish) I know people who like books tend to be picky over them so I just want to caution again that Midworld Press is still a relatively new fine...

Just got the invite but i’m not really enthused to download the 70 gigs to try it out after DI. Can anyone comment on first impressions?

Not sure how I feel about Kai’s art either. He’s definitely nowhere close to the worst I’ve seen but he’s far from Tommy Arnold and Marc Simonetti. Either way apparently Glen Cook personally approved Kai and his page art selection so looks like we’re stuck with it if you’re interested in a...

I had almost no expectations for this “major content patch” and they still managed to surprise me with how little they’re actually offering. I guess the best thing about DI is that it has appropriately removed any hype I could ever have with D4.

Just catching up on this thread and the only thing I have to add is lol @ the reddit idiots who were outraged over the discord balance leaks from that dev. Back when the layoffs happened one of the guys laid off bragged on reddit over how his most memorable and proudest contribution was...

Good now they need to put serious effort in cracking down on spooners/scripters/botters. I don’t understand why companies these days are unwilling to hire one minimum wage GM who can pop down to the popular cheating destinations once a day, mass kick/ban them, then move on. It’s the same shit...

The fraud doesn’t bother me that much because I never took this game seriously. I just can’t. It’s a diablo IP that’s ”competitive/pvp” focused but the IP has never been about being competitive nor pvp. People in world chat brag about smashing others in things like vault while 5k+ reso and I...

Wrecking Shadow’s Vault runs as an Immortal feels pretty damn good. Didn’t think I’d like it but Immortal feels so much better than being Shadow. The lack of content is really hitting hard though and new raids every month isn’t going to cut it.

So my clan allied with two others (one a chinese whale clan who carried us in the final battle) and we managed to beat the super whale clan and their 2 sister whale guilds in the rite and the whale alliance absolutely lost their shit for a solid 45 minutes in chat. If nothing else playing the...

1 gem power a day as an additional log in bonus would go a very long way in leveling the playing field over time without cutting into profits. I’m on the fence too starting to dangle over the other side about quitting. I basically just log in, shadow contract + overworld grind out 2 levels...

PvP is either currently broken or DI devs one upped their record retardation with how rating and matchmaking works. Because some servers managed to overthrow the Immortals and others didn’t, some servers had their PvP rank reset while others are still ongoing. However, the game still matches...

The way Shadow War is implemented is quite possibly the shittiest, dumbest design to grace online gaming in the last two decades, if not possibly ever. I get upset when people use whales and legendary gems as their number one complaint of this game because DI truly has some of the dumbest most...

Took longer this season than last. Lots of babies this cycle who will afk the second they sense a loss to preserve k/d/a. Ran into a couple cheaters too where primary target refused to lock on even with them standing in my face. 2 days away from end of bp and still no talk about whats in the...

Lull in gaming + being able to play this on the ipad while on the go is the reason I haven’t quit yet. The head Immortal guild on Eternal Conflict is doing everything in their power to make everyone really hate them (plus the majority are whales) so I might stay a bit longer for the drama and...

What exactly is it that you’re even questioning?

This is 100% false. The #1 slot, sure, but bottom legendary and all of gold are full of non whales. This is more true for gold than it is legendary obviously. The inbalance in pvp and some of the bullshit thats allowed is more of an issue than some of the whaling. Barbs for example have a 6...

Okay, this is going to be a bit long but I want to elaborate: I made bottom Legendary just before cycle reset. Currently rank 10 gold 2 on new reset. I go against whales daily. Sub 300 res, fully FTP with not a single cent given, two 2* gems with the rest all 1* and no gem above rank 3...
