You needed cross server group matching because a) too many servers b) too much server imbalance. They didnt want to merge servers overtly.

LFR didn't ruin anything - basically was a way for super casuals to see content. Where they went wrong is they had way, way too many difficulty tiers Skill trees in WoW were always an illusion of choice - unless you ran a couple specs, you were just gimping yourself Spec swap button was fine...

Fixed. Riot will probably be looking a lot at FF14, not just WoW. 14 is a lot better at catch-up mechanics and providing a good mix of solo and group stuff

The IP alone are worth quite a bit.

Microsoft owns Actiblizzard Microsoft owns Bethesda Inb4 doom, fallout, Skyrim crossovers with WoW

There was some mega gap between when he started MSQ and started doing it regularly. I think he tried it during the queue apocalypse then decided to wait a few weeks

The best analogy I've heard is Lion Dude (Battlebeast) showing up at that fight is like a street thug bringing Thanos to a back alley brawl. He peaced out when he didnt get the challenge he wanted. He probably didnt know about Omniman. As for Invincible, they're basically Saiyans so think...

Besides being a popular trope, it also isn’t that much out of the realm of realism. If you traveled to Earth at different times in its history, you’d literally find an ice planet (ice ball Earth theory), a swamp planet (Carboniferous period), a mostly desert/arid planet (Permian/Triassic...

He probably got an extra long ban because he was a storyskipping booster in FF14 then complained the game sucked when he died in a raid

Wendys has always done square burgers

They aren't going to rewater Tattoonie lol

Book spoilers re: dogs

Jessica Jones season 1 was solid - the villain really carried it. S2 kinda sucked. Luke Cage season 1 is pretty decent until like midway through, then it becomes shitty. S2 kinda sucked also. Punisher standalone was kind of ok. Punisher shows up in S2 of Daredevil and was a pretty badass...

EQ1 let me literally fall asleep while pulling flurry drakes in NToV, then I woke up hours later surrounded by various corpses and the raid gone. Witcher 3 didn’t have that!

I thought it was great. This is how the 6th book ends. It’s a good pause point. Ya, it’s frustrating we may not see resolution of Laconia or ring entities, but they did a great adaptation There is no way they could shoe horn in 3 additional books into a truncated season. It’s also clear...

True. It removed the inevitable bargaining for who would go tank or healer. I recall solo queuing for some comp games and people literally spending the entire pre-match trying to get people to swap roles.

Toxicity is a problem, but I do agree he overblew its importance in the game's decline. As for the complaint about premades only for comp mode being dumped, that is tricky. Given the game was teams of 6, it would have been very difficult to keep a stable roster of 6 people to run comp with for...

Scooter gang was dumb, but I did like the Rancor. They seem to be hinting we will see a battle rancor later with Boba wanting to learn to ride one. The Hutts basically selling out the Wookie was predictable and will probably fit into my previous “saved = loyalty” post about the underlying...

I disagree with one of his points: from the getgo, it was clear this was a moba model. He talks about it like it was a bait and switch that went from shooter to moba all of a sudden. Anyways, main cause of decline is simple: it got stale. They never really shook up the gameplay, people got...

Ya I ignore the maps unless I’m in the actual zone

I mean they waited so long to do a follow up, no surprise it’s gonna be a full reboot.

Direct VoD dumps usually don’t get many views. Editing takes time and money. If the time+money part exceeds what you get back in as dollars, then it isn’t worth it

It’s about control. Usually that type of mentality is insecure, so they weaponize that insecurity to “prevent” the loss they are insecure about. They don’t want to leave, they want to control the situation on their own terms. It’s basically emotional terrorism: meet my demands or suffer the...

Preach was entertaining to watch. He got to the Fae and got his Scottish wife to do the voices lol

It wouldn’t. The most EQ like MMO to come out in terms of tone recently was New World and 90% of the population peaced out

Someone call the RIPD, someone resurrected a ghost

I can't recall where that was mentioned, but it may have been one of the short stories they posted on their website

It had less to do with being exceptional than being in the right place at right time to avoid being sundered was my understanding. If Emet wasn’t exploring the lifestream when it happened, he would have been split too

Ascians in the past were decent was the point. I’m not talking ARR, I’m talking the unsundered world. But yes, they became monsters later. Emet even mentions at the end end that his ideals and what have you didn’t change. The game does do an excellent job of making you understand why Emet...

Not sure why the original post is comparing live service games with single player games. Apples/oranges, if only in support unless you count a modding community churning out content like for Skyrim

In season 2, Dexter wrestled with the Doakes dilemma. I mean, at his core Dexter was a psychopath that had direction for his urges. He went cold turkey and got a taste of his drug and flat out started to loosen his code adherence to get that high again. Then Harrison gets into the picture and...

They should have a scene where Boba kills the Hutts, then 20 years later gets invited to a Mandalorian ceremony, but the room is empty and Fennec shoots him in the back of the head

That post makes me think he is applying to companies that aren’t a good fit, but he thinks they are. I have a cousin who was a web developer and always applied for those types of jobs, but ran into stability issues. I recall one piece of advice given was try to focus on jobs at companies that...

LEGO thing is probably mostly due to money. Cooling IP probably means less sales, so they pull this to get out of or renegotiate the licensing deal

JesseCox had a pretty good theory: Lahabrea is just a title, so we don’t know the real name of Lahabrea in ARR/HW. Another theme is the Ascians in the past have generally turned out to be mostly decent people. His theory is the Lahabrea in the raid isn’t the Lahabrea we know. Rather, we...

If he just likes to rush in, the devastator would probably be a good fit for him since they are tanky with the right abilities

They could go for it, but it could horribly backfire on them. Twitch wont just crackdown on TV shows, they'll crackdown on reacting to youtube videos and shit
