Not sure how, since the optimal gameplay loop would be to curbstomp mobs that are relatively easy. It'd just take longer. A successful level-locked server would have the hardcores progressing through increasingly difficult content as they gear up and get new levels at regular intervals. 1 per...

I don't understand what solution you're proposing and I think you still don't understand the issue I'm conveying.

I don't know what you think the "issue" is, but the issue from my perspective is that early expansions are trivial. You can get a few people with a pulse together and can curb-stomp everything. The attraction of level-locking is to create a game where players are motivated to go after the...

Would love to see a crime thriller where Wonka starts a drug empire with a chocolate factory as a front that ends in him going fully legitimate. Breaking Good: A Wonka Story

A version of vaniki where the level cap starts at one and increases five levels a week until level 45, doesn't have ldon or other ez mode paths to gear and doesn't have special rules to make cc / charm on reds easy or so would be more interesting to me. Not sure how it'd play out and it'd...

Thanks. Would love to see some of the unedited footage or making of for this movie. That vid reminds of how i kind of missed long shots with a wide angle that would be possible to take without heavy cgi. Fury road has a lot of that and there's just something real about.. real.

LDON seems like the antithesis of Vaniki. I envisioned Vaniki as being a server for the tryhards to exploit-kill the baddest mobs they could to get loot way beyond what they should have. Unless I'm mistaken LDON is just farming boring and relatively trivial content over and over to slowly accrue...

Farming LDON sounds like the worst TLP experience. What does farming Natimbi at level 40 look like? Is it charm killing named mobs?

Enjoyed this movie, no real complaints.

I feel like a lot of us old fucks, including me, have miserly game purchasing habits built from a childhood of having to hustle our nickels together for weeks to get the latest NES, atari, computer game from Egghead, whatever. Now some of us making six figures, have a big ass mortgage for a...

Not sure if you've played it but GW2 is a great casual MMO game. What target are you guys going after next? What group gear are you guys farming?

So do you expect at level 55 there won't be other raid / group encounters with Kael-level gear that can be fought with charm?

Interesting that charm is breaking more on blue mobs than it is normally. I'm actually surprised they increased the level cap of CC spells, especially charm. Kael fights notoriously facilitated charming. I'm guessing <Bind Rush> is literally going to be perfecting bind rushing and farming...

Lol i thought when my kids were 3 and 7 they'd start to get increasingly independent. Nope. Only way I can play more than a few hours a week is it i just let them watch tv all day which turns them into brainless monsters. As soon as i get home from work and all weekend it's superdad until they...

Gotta imagine that the release of expansions that are 10 levels higher than normal and the new spell rules making it feasible to farm that gear or gear near it the leveling process for active players will be a speedbump on the way to killing targets with underleveled. Ex: when the cap is moved...

Phone games are weird to me. I kind of want a phone game to play when I'm not able to play a "real" game, but then I feel like if I get into it I'll do what I did with Fallout: Shelter, play the game on Bluestacks (or just natively on Windows in this case) and be unable to play it on my mobile...

Out of any of those the only stream I'd consider watching is a Vaniki one where players are farming gear (solo, group, or raid) waaay above their level. Is there a raiding guild forming that will stream their kills? I want to see what a raid of level 40s can do.

I watched the original vid, was entertaining but I think the comedy at the end misses the mark. He basically presented this dumb old racist guy as being reasonable and respectful while he himself looked blithely ignorant.

Yeah, exactly. And your nonchalance toward the produced work is likely tied to your deeper understanding of the computer science behind that error function reduction. You knew the wizard before it went behind the curtain. When I first started getting into this and saw something like: I was...

So is everyone doing Vaniki? What do people think will be the toughest content downed at level 40 and 50? As a spectator I kind of wish they did level locks at 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and had each of these tiers only last one week. A bunch of level 1s running around trying to farm, well...

I've gotten into AI art the last year. Dalle, DiscoDiffusion, DeepDream etc, very cool stuff. There's something very other-worldly and frightening about it that is so fascinating, and the concept for a machine generating such ... contemplative looking structures via matrix multiplication is...

I believe the first few years of SC donations. The last few I have zero belief in. It's privately funded at this point and I don't know what the funders were promised or what they think they'll get.

The drama around top-tier players refusing to loot non-bis equipment is like item #8 on my "why I'm glad I'm not leading raids" list.

Tac0 and similar mods start to get really useful when you decide you want to stop having fun and start completing things.

please regale us of your first 10 hours of gaming story.

Just invested another $1k to get the X-Wing pack.

Yeah I was thinking about that too. Most EQ players have a couple phones they could access. I wonder how much data EQ uses up and how cheap of a plan you could get to run EQ.

I'm ready for some combination of Alberto Falcone, Penguin and Mr. Freeze. Can keep with the detective / hope / crime theme with Mr. Freeze as the wild-card.

Saw this, agree with what most said. In some ways the live action / cinematic Batman movies are both helped and hurt by all the other Batman media. In general it seems like they portray Batman as being much weaker and flawed than say, the DC Animated universe, most comics, video games etc. It's...

Serious Q: If DPG created a TLP server that: Allowed one character per person Limited EQ to one character per IP Banned all VPNs Do you think that'd be feasible to do and would significantly limit boxing on that server?

So how did the elementalist turn out in EoD? I kind of want to play this summer but will probably roll a new character.

I decline this duel.

Where did you get this chat log. Also open world pvp when???

If you've cut a few stinkers, you're not going to talk about getting into an elevator with someone until you know you're fully bathed.
