I think I watched that video a while ago. If you go to the clothing store in the rich part of town and trigger that event where the super cops show up, one of the cops is the lady from the teaser trailer and she tries to recruit you

She's been on him to retire for like 7+ years at least. It started around the time of the infamous "He can't throw the ball and also catch it" meltdown at one of the Super Bowls. Although the whole "I'm retired, lol nm" thing was kind of odd. I mean who the fuck knows what was going on...

BP2 will probably get 2 ratings 1) How they handle Chadwick’s death/how much do they honor him 2) the rest of the actual movie If #1 is decent, then critically it will probably raise the overall movie rating up. But unless there is a standout performance in the movie, they’ll probably...

Game is currently free to play for a week starting tomorrow

They’re referring to the Real ID thing they did like 10+ years ago. Instead of displaying your handle, it showed your actual name and they wanted to link it to your socials as well. It was their half assed attempt at a social network and predictably it failed

My memory is hazy as well, but I do recall that GMs would enforce player calendars for raid rotations early on. The general idea being that if all the respective guilds had agreed to it, it was a binding agreement. At least on our server. I remember our GM was pissed that we didn't have a...

Virtually all stories use tropes. It's fine if you don't like FF14's story, you're never going to find any story that 100% of the population loves. Everyone has different tastes. I disagree that WOTLK trying to introduce more complex story telling was a bad idea. I thought it was a great...

Take a look at the TI pools post 2GD. A massive chunk of those pools came from whales in China.

It's not a bad thing, but it's basically the space equivalent of a Honda Civic: Doesn't cost a lot and it will run forever so long as you keep it maintained. However, they really haven't innovated much beyond that. They made attempts, but most got mothballed or scrapped due to costs. Their...

They don't even allow pre-paid lol Is this just to play the game in general, or just to play ranked?

The 2GD thing is overblown Valve just fucked up this year because a) they released the battle pass really late compared to prior years b) the battlepass this year was pretty barren in terms of rewards c) the Pro scene this year felt pretty somber/low key. Probably in large part due to the...

Those were good places to level, but they had higher barriers of entry Kedge: You needed a fishbone earring or a caster that could cast a breathing spell for you (and recast it when it got dispelled). A lot of players also hated the underwater aspect, which seems to be a common thing in MMOs...

T-Staff was pretty hard to purpose camp from what I recall. The mob would spawn near the Karnors entrance, but that place was a mob pathing nightmare

What a fantastic rebuttal. We are fortunate to have such insightful dialogue from posters such as yourself

Aka what Everquest did originally- they didn’t want to remove the “mystery” of what stats did It ended up that players wore sub optimal gear because of rumors or bad data, some stats did fucking nothing, and some players just parsed the shit out of stuff. I remember a monk in my guild spent...

That had less to do with NASA than it did presidents and congress. The Space Shuttle was an expensive platform and there was a desire to shift to deep space stuff and leave LEO to industry, so the way was paved for private industry to handle the LEO stuff. So shuttle was funding cut and...

Give Araysar a break guys. The space program he simps for won't be able to function for much longer due to sanctions, it must be a very stressful time for him

That works for a one-off, but mudflation becomes real the longer your game goes on

Looks like NASA is exploring a SpaceX partnership to boost Hubble’s orbit

Yes, but cardiac arrest from what. Cardiac arrest unto itself doesn't mean anything except the heart stopped. Considering he went into a bathroom and then died, wouldn't surprise me if he was using some substance in there

Korra got fucked up a lot during that series. Gets her bending taken away and she almost kills herself, gets crippled in another fight and basically has to rehab her way back to functionality, has her connection to her past lives severed, etc

Nah. A year or two after WoW launched, and remember trying to go back to EQ1. It felt so antiquated even then

Peasant monks used ninja stars to pull. Chad monks used abashi nerf stick off Vulak for pulls. That thing had insane range, removed buffs, and couldn’t be resisted

City of Heroes used to create new instances of zones when they got too crowded. There was an odd period between velious and pop where they had nerfed fd pulling a bit and SK had some attributes in their kit that let them pull certain things Or maybe that was just Xate being stubborn and...

EQ1 showed the issues with non-instance content Euro or Asian guilds killing raid targets when your guild is sleeping / at work A small subset of players essentially dictating the play experience of the rest of the server Ebayers abusing the limited content to make real life money People who...

Teaser does at least show they will be covering some of the main storybeats: before the fall, life in the safe zone, escaping it, etc

This highlights one of the main issues with the decline of the physical media market: It is significantly easier to essentially erase the availability of media

That is an apt comparison. Reality TV gave you glimpses into "real" people's lives (mostly scripted, but w/e). Streaming basically pushes that concept even further...you still get those glimpses, but you also get to interact with them in real time

In beta they had PvP scaling so PvP was technically viable at all levels, but high levels (rightly) complained that what was the point of getting gear if some level 20 scrub in noob armor can do the same damage as some guy decked out in BIS gear. True normalization scaling would have been a bad...

The patch notes mentioned something related to OPR I think. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a minimum GS scaling (ie, if you are sub 600, you get bumped to 600) vs. full normalization

I would give one piece of advice: Have a good idea on what build you want going in. Respec isn't really viable in this game (it exists but costs a fuckton of money). A lot of weapons and abilities are stat point locked.

These mostly just seem like voiced quests in the game vs. cutscenes.

Now, or in the future?

I can’t imagine there will be much demand for post wotlk classic. Cataclysm will be meh. Maybe MoP+ Cata combined, but then you’re getting into the past 10 years and nostalgia won’t be as strong It feels like the rose colored goggles fall off post WOTLK

Only reason I would even half consider playing this is OG Wintergrasp. Literally the only PvP I enjoyed in this game. I loved using the siege engines and gun emplacements

New World tried a combo. As expected, players usually Zerg the uninstanced stuff and they had to roll back some of the Zerg penalties because humans are assholes and people would intentionally troll. Like Kazack world boss in WoW “oops, sorry I got in range! I didn’t mean to trigger the...

I would argue that non-instanced was less dangerous in highly camped areas, like Sebilis or Lower Guk. It was so fucking camped that you could typically never see a single mob in most areas. The most "danger" was someone training stuff on you. Plus in EQ1, most of the danger was losing a...
