    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, despite the various flaws ( mostly rng related ), I have to give blizz credit for legion - they added a *LOT* of stuff on a pretty aggressive schedule. Only the top like 0.05% got to farm a mythic tier for more than a month.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Either the math on that one is off by something crazy, or they also reset the AP knowledge, because level 19-20 went from 2k to 30k.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    If you mean play wise, frost is aids to play on beta at the moment. This may fix itself with more haste, although I have pretty much all haste gear ( 14% @ ilvl 340 ), so it will be a while. If you mean top dps, too early for any of that, they are still fucking around with numbers.

    You have to hearth, port to stormwind/org, turn it off, then go back to where you were .

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It is exactly like that - when I first tried beta it was 16,000 AP for level 10 ( about 500 world quests ), now it's like 2k for level 20.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That thinking would work if BFA levelling wasn't a race to the bottom. Every level you get significantly worse, and 119 and 120 you get completely dumpstered. Being ahead of the pack just means you are a free kill for the level 110 rogue waiting at the quest hub. I wouldn't use war mode as a...

    Westworld

    Dolores always was the terminator - only the new ones are the bio-printed almost human types, the old ones like Dolores are full on robots with skin covering. Unless you mean in personality, in which case yeah, all of the characters in s2 were pretty yawn worthy.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not as far as I can tell, but crafting on beta at the moment is more pre-alpha than beta to be honest. The only quests I've run across are for gathering profs and it's just to gather X of something basically.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'd be interested as well, nothing really stood out for me as a mechanical or speed advantage. Overall Horde levelling quests were considerably more interesting though at least. On alliance side, drustvar is pretty good, stormsong is eh, and tiragarde is a boring pile of collect bear asses. All...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not just you, it adds nothing of interest. Island expeditions are supposed to be a new thing, but they are slow, tedious and worthless. If a quest designer came up with an idea for a world quest where you killed 500 mobs for 300 azerite they would get slapped upside the head for being a dumbass...

    Impulse

    Just finished this one off. Last episode set up 3-4 more interesting storylines than the rest of the season, so I'll probably watch more if they make it. Overall i thought it was decent. Nothing whatsoever to do with the book, which is a shame, because it was a great book, but a decent story...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    VDH is crazily overpowered, in healing, dps and survivability. BDK is good. Warrior seems ok, haven't seen a single bear or monk tank in anything over normal dungeons. Pallies seem to be made out of cardboard, the ones I've had had their health spiking up and down like crazy, living on the...

    Impulse

    I'm not sure why they kept the name, it seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the book at all. As far as I can tell, the only thing they have in common is a chick with a weird name ;p Still, pilot wasn't awful, will probably watch the rest of it.

    Hitomi is best character, although I give an honorable mention to Hina's "apprentice".

    The Americans

    With the amount of long drawn out silent montages to music, the finale felt like I was watching a french arthouse film. It was ok i guess, more of a fizzle than a bang, but I guess they were sort of stuck with some level of historical accuracy, not like they could have them assassinate the...

    I'd imagine SyFy still has the rights, and if HBO/Netflix tried to buy them off them, would be met with a hearty 'Go fuck yourself'.

    The Expanse

    If they were magnetized to hold against 3+ gees you'd need a prybar to pick them up if you dropped them. Individual straps for each tool in the case could work, but that's a lot of work to protect against stupidity, and if they are too dumb to safe the case, they are too dumb to safe the tools.

    What did you just read?

    Yeah, that one is definitely my pick for best web serial I've read, and probably best superhero story I've read overall too. Def wins "best four word chapter" of anything award too - damn that was harsh. Author has done two others, Pact and Twig, both of which are good, if very different from...

    Lost in Space

    I liked it. If you don't like the first two episodes though, I wouldn't bother with the rest - they set the scene pretty well. Top notch production values, decent to good acting, reasonable story, nonsensical science, overall pretty fun. They have to be the most half-assed colony expedition...

    What did you just read?

    Broken Earth is very good. I liked Night Angel, but it's pretty rough work compared to Weeks' Lightbringer series ( which is really good ). List like that are usually just to troll for outrage for page views, but I've read most of them in that and ignoring rankings, there aren't any that I...

    Well, on the one hand, I think the screen door on the normal vive is outrageously bad, but on the other hand I think their pricing on the vive pro is greedy as fuck.

    Oh god, watching that guy was painful. "<End Turn>... <End Turn>... <End Turn>... NO ! WHAT THE FUCK, STOP THAT !" Game looks surprisingly good though

    For Determined Exterminators, you pretty much have to do everything yourself so I go with : Power Drills, Superconductive, Bulky ( You have to build robots everywhere anyway, by the time you want to do mass migration the cost is trivial ) and Uncanny ( everyone hates you anyway, what are they...

    A big list for this time round - I got partway through writing it up a couple of months ago but then windows update ninja-restarted my pc and I lost it, along with the motivation to finish at the time ;p "Cold-Forged Flame" - Marie Brennan Woman awakens to find she has no memory, but has been...

    The Sad, sad, state of MMORPG in this brave new era...

    That seems a generally unfair comparison given Hearthstone and Overwatch. Say what you will about overall originality, they are both quite different from anything blizzard had tried before, and with both of them wildly successful, it seems unlikely it will be an environment where new ideas are...

    Marvel's Jessica Jones

    Figured I'd wait til the end for my thoughts, given it took a couple of weeks, that's obviously not a good sign. Overall I think it was kind of 'eh'. I mean, is there a single thing that happened in the show that wasn't the result of a relationship problem ? Maybe the convenience store...

    Stellaris

    There's some advantages, like ship experience, but that situation wasn't what I meant - for ships that ftl out, if you win the battle they just pop straight back up in the fleet. Obviously it's better to win with corvettes than lose with battleships, but a win with 50% casualties to corvettes is...

    Heh, Action Howard rendered literally speechless. That was awesome, just his expression during that rant ;p

    Stellaris

    Battleships already have a strong position in that they suffer vastly lower casualties than corvettes against any non-trivial opposition - their extra health means they are more likely to jump out than be destroyed, so you get them back at end of combat. They are also waaay better for...

    Scout out your targets and refit to counter their weapons and armor except point defense, which is pretty much useless, and strike craft which are awful. Cruisers are bad ( mostly because of strike craft sucking ) Destroyers with L weapons can be generally useful Corvettes have the most...

    The Orville

    It's much more Star Trek than Discovery was, but it's not a parody in any way. It's played pretty much desperately earnest with the occasional joke thrown in. An uncharitable review I saw called it Seth doing Trek cosplay, which is a little unkind, but pretty accurate.

    Stellaris

    That one was non-obvious to me at first, but the health bar on the planet is for the current bombing target, when it hits zero, that targets is destroyed and it starts bombing something else. For invading only a few of your guys can attack at one time, that's the 'combat width' you can see on...
