    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    So I leveled to 10 and got some marginally better gear and now the 1250 stuff is trivial as the 1000 was before. They have some sort of insane exponential algorithm built on top of a linear gear progression such that if you are on one side of the delta it's trivial and if you are on the other...

    It is absolutely better with people...which makes their horrific net code even more sus.

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    It's less messy than self-cutting... At this point I want to see if there is any light at the end of the tunnel. I unlocked additional abilities via the Move tree (spoiler alert -- if something on the Move tree doesn't have a guide as to how to trigger it that means it replaces one of your...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    So after the first two zones it opens up and you have a choice of three different zones which each need to be completed, in any order, to open up 6th zone. During all of those 5 you can run it at Challenge Rating 1 which corresponds to gear score 1000 and drops level 1-2 gear. At the 6th zone...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    The delta between 'I can't die' and 'I get killed in two hits' with this game is very small, at least at these first couple of levels. It also looks like every zone is on the same overall scale. So the first act of the first zone is level 1-2 at Challenge Rating 1 and the first act of all the...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    The balance is all over the map in terms of damage and such. Mobs either hit you for essentially no damage whatsoever, or you lose half your health bar in one swing from trash. I ran the first zone on Wulgar and then went back into that same area on level 2 (after equipping a full suit of...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    The animation locking and targeting/camera controls are such that you spend most of your time fighting with the UX instead of the monsters. This is especially frustrating in the second level where there is poison everywhere and half the mobs explode on death because 'reasons'

    I probably would not have gotten it were it not for GamePass. That having been said it looks like a blast to play with buds.

    Star Wars: The Bad Batch

    Crosshair has rapidly made the jump from gruff anti-hero to full on scenery-chewing villain. I am curious to see what the Kaminoans endgame is.

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    Targeting / facing and getting animation locked was my issue playing Wulfgar. Cattie Brie was much much easier as a pure ranged class though her 'melee' bow attacks were silly as the animation would have her firing an arrow that collision wise should have hit things but didn't as they were just...

    The D&D thread

    The support from the community sealed it for me. Already made a map that has animated full color lighting, locked doors, triggers that auto-pause the game when a PC steps on an area, and directional sound that has definitive origin points on the map. It feels like what an online tabletop...

    The D&D thread

    I decided to give Foundry a shot and while there is definitely a learning curve involved (and the system I want to use is still in active development) I am very impressed with what it can do compared to Roll20.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Anyone who added a 6 mo sub when Shadowlands launched has had that lapse at this point. I have to imagine at this point their subs are monotonically decreasing at an alarming rate.

    Its at least a better way of getting the console into people's hands at MSRP. They should have been doing this all along instead of playing games with the bots and scalpers.

    Lost Ark Online

    This is just what we needed to have a game to play and chat... But we need it now and it won't come out until October. This whole year of quarantine has been a collosal missed opportunity for MMO and CO-OP devs. Other affected industries managed to all-hands-on-deck with this once in a...

    Lost Ark Online

    So each of the base classes (Warrior, Gunner, Martial Artist, Mage, Assassin) is missing one of the advanced classes that are currently in the Korean game? This is on top of the 6th base class not being present at all. The naming convention / localization is making this weird since in the NA...

    Lost Ark Online

    Perhaps he means remapped? I was struggling until I moved all the action skills to be numbers so I could NAGA it up. While the game feels very 'spam everything' at first you soon realize that you actually need to be somewhat tactical with your rotation and combination of abilities / perks in...

    It's a fun game to play with friends. We were just G-ing through whatever quest dialogue and whatever there was and just having a good time wandering around beating shit up while chatting on Discord. Shame the actual release is so far off

    Nice touch having Bracca show up. I do enjoy that this really is a continuation of Clone Wars in many ways but also a means to bridge episode 3 and 4 more solidly than we have seen to date.

    Lost Ark Online

    There does seem to be a lot of 'eh just spam every ability as it comes off cooldown'. Mana doesn't seem to even matter. Perhaps this is just a side effect of being low level and abilities become more tactical later on?

    They also seem to have fewer classes than the other language versions? I noticed only two mage advanced classes.
