    Ashes of Creation

    WoW’s balance was a function of player limits. Like bringing a King’s buff paladin. That paladin was suboptimal and literally all they brought to the table was a raid buff. So another player lost a slot to a mandatory buff bot. Or take class stacking. Remember those raids where they would...

    Ashes of Creation

    Because everyone is a meta chaser now, or because hard content caps how many people you can bring In EQ1, bringing sub-optimal classes on raids was no big deal because you could have like 80 people just zerging But when you are player capped, one DPS class that does 1/3rd the DPS of another...

    I don't think so, but why would you move for free if you know you can command a decent contract?

    Right. Like others have mentioned, Youtube's discoverability for live streaming is total dogshit. It basically uses the same dumb algorithms they use for the regular Youtube videos and recommendations and even if you get to the right area, the UI is pretty suck and makes it hard to even find...

    She looked super familiar when I was watching. Looked her up and realized she played the nerdy witch in Good Omens

    Not really. Maybe like half an episode, then Leia gets kidnapped by cartoony villains and it goes downhill

    Andor

    I watched the first 3 episodes. It feels like a show that could exist independent of the Star Wars IP and still work. That isn't a bad thing in this case, because it feels really different than normal Star Wars shows or films. It feels more gritty/"real", but not in a grimdark way. Like you...

    Reboot

    lol I had forgotten about the reboot of reboot. I never watched it, but apparently it had almost nothing to do with the original show beyond them bringing back Megabyte and Hexidecimal and a brief cameo by Bob, Dot, and Enzo

    The only people against any instanced pve content were ebayers and Uber guilds that wanted to control everything. As for heavy group required, you need a balance. Too much and people quit from frustration because they can’t make any progress without a group and getting groups is hard. Too...

    Something something drama. Whenever he gets on his main, there are expectations on what he does. Like react content or certain games, people mad he isn’t playing ff14 even though he is relatively close to shadowbringers, etc

    Shroud has even admitted that when he was younger, they used to use your first example when they played online because that was common for gamers to use a lot at the time. Dredging up shit you said 20 years ago as a kid is dumb

    I mean did they use back then, video toaster? Some kid could easily churn out better graphics on their desktop on the cheap if they didn’t need it to be high quality modern cg / Syfy level stuff The expensive part would be practical sets

    Different types and venues of violence, though. I am going to guess the majority of male violence is external to the home where the majority of female violence is domestic

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    WoW2 is unlikely, unless you forced wow1 to shutdown. And dusting off old mmo mechanics isn’t a good idea. New World tried that and bled hundreds of thousands of players. All the “easy travel ruins the game” dopes who fail to realize the novelty of traveling every where slowly gets really old...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The RTS ship has sailed for now. Even from an esports perspective, team games are the "in" thing. Solo "duels" like you saw in Starcraft don't bring the views like they used to. I still think that if they did some looter-shooter quasi MMO with the Starcraft IP, that would be their best bet...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Pretty much this. It's the sequence of middling or bad expansions that really drive the playerbase away in larger numbers. If Dragonflight ends up being dogshit, WoW numbers will crater and probably never recover.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They picked cartoony, stylized graphics originally because it dates better than "realistic" styles. Playing Super Mario 20 years later vs. something like Metal Gear Solid, Mario is going to look "better" even though MGS had amazing graphics at the time

    Even so, medical care is still too fucking expensive in this country and lots of people get stuck with shitty high deductible plans through their employer Ever looked at an itemized bill from a hospital? Some will charge like $3 for a single Tylenol pill or $20 for a single pair of latex gloves.

    I finished up the rest of the show. Episode 7 and onward made it feel like a different show, or at the very least, like it was an Anthology show 1-5 was one arc 6 was sort of like a bridge episode, but ultimately stand alone 7-10 was another arc 11 was really anthology like since it was 2...

    Where do you get Tracer from that? She had a wall phase move, which was the only Tracer-ish thing about her. Based on the video, seems clear this is a support hero since all the stuff they showcased was her healing or buffing her team.

    Season was pretty good. Joker as a Bernie Sanders type mayor is great. I also liked the exploration of Bruce Wayne and how absolutely fucked up he is psychologically.

    You still need a lot of base materials, but refining the t1 stuff to t2 will basically give you double the projected conversion, and t3 you might get a bonus 1/4 or 1/3rd or so. So for example, if you smelt enough iron to make 25 steel, you'll actually end up close to 50 steel when the bonus...

    While the dupes/exploits were a problem in the past, it is almost a non-issue now. Most of the dupe shit happened back when Voidbent was basically the "best" armor and before most of the BIS pvp perk armor/weapons even existed. The gold duped back then is also a non-issue - it would have long...

    Pitt mini-expansion is currently out. You basically visit the Whitesprings resort and do some quests to refill the energy to fly a Virtibird, then you can run some missions in The Pitt. Currently there are only 2 maps/missions set there, but they randomize some of the objectives. Depending on...

    Any rocket powered ejection system is going to be rough. For fighter jets, for example, if your limbs aren't in the proper position when it goes off, you can literally break your arms/legs because the force is so powerful. Even if you do it properly, your spine can get perma fucked up by the...

    They softened the leveling a bit - the level grind itself XP wise was reduced. The watermarking (now called Expertise) has also been changed so you can get caught up more quickly and also have the ability to target what type of item you want the GS boost on. Crafting is still a grind, though...
