Finding it tough to play this game for more than half an hour at a time, not totally sure why. I think I'm not invested in the story, and somehow the only site I want to see is the pyramids. The game might've used more of an introduction, maybe I would be if I spent 3-5 hours completing...

So with respect to my previous comment about getting muscular fatigue really easily (legs feel like jelly like 4 sets into my leg day workout) I've been naturally increasing the duration of my workouts so I'm figuratively taking naps between sets. I've started to fight against that by using a...

I picked up the game Sunday morning and this post exactly mirrors my thoughts on it. After Shadow of War I kind of like the new combat, since Shadow of War was so similar to previous AC games.

Pretty remarkable progress for a guy on a vegan diet: 170 -> 185 lbs (3 months). Clean bulk on vegetarian diet. Pictures, diet and routine inside. • r/Fitness

I use a google spreadsheet.

It's hard not to watch the above CitCon video and feel hopeful about the game, just to see what a 200-300 million USD scifi game looks like. And it's hard not to feel depressed after reading posts like yours, knowing that in a few years when revenue drops and RSI goes bankrupt all we'll get is a...

I used a mouse. I think either controller or mouse works fine.

EQ has such a small and old playerbase I already feel like a Daybreak insider. Being able to just openly post to the EQ beta forums and be pretty sure it'll get read by Dzarn, Aristo, Ngreth or Absor is something you'd only get on an early pre-kickstart alpha, lol.

I do the same spin stuff. Pro-tip: use shrink if you haven't been.

So I'm at level 8 of the shadow wars. I'm slicing through them pretty well, I have a very versatile build I'm running (2pc marauder, 2pc warmonger, 2pc vendetta) that enables me to roll over enemies, and all my regions are kitted out in pretty tough opponents. But I think I'm done with the...

So if AC3 was all about building a settlement and listening to native americans whine, and AC4 was about ship combat and listening to sea chanties, what is AC:Origins about?

So what'd we learn so far in the JFK files? 1. LBJ was in the KKK. 2. More evidence of two shooters. 3. More evidence of Cruz' father involved. 4. That the KGB thinks LBJ did it. I will believe anything that looks old and like it was originally made with a copywriter, put into a computer...

I agree with this. If you're moloing through EQ you're doing it wrong.

Every class can molo to 105. Clerics/bards have it the worst of course.

No, lol. It's best to find someone to group with.

EverQuest - Ring of Scale Return to Kunark and aid the Combine as they face off against the Sarnak Empire and the Ring of Scale. What will become of the Sarnak Empire? Will dragons reign supreme over Norrath? Only the most powerful of heroes will be able to help the Combine to breach the heart...

Yeah I agree. And I think games that are outliers and earn the community's ire and focus still push the Overton window of acceptable MTX in games. SoW is a funny case because the MTX in the game are pretty tame, it was just the handling of it that was bad and offensive. The Forthog dead dev...

Really can't get excited about being Boringnor or Eltariel. Especially after Only thing I could really get excited about is them fleshing out some of the online features ex: 1. Co-op play 2. Fort PvP 3. More content for the current online fort battles Along with: 1. Improving the Nemesis...

Don't they get replaced? I figure they have some kind of retirement package. And obviously they can be destroyed.

Yeah a lot of the programs I see have 5 rep sets on DL. I might slowly decrease the # of reps I do as I increase the weight.

Could be. I do my pullups after my deadlifts each time. I have a theory that my lats aren't activating properly. My attempt to get them to fire is to finish my pull-day with wide-grip pullups where I do a few and then do negatives. By that point I'm thoroughly exhausted, especially my biceps...

I'm taking it easy, but n00b gains are 4 real. This is all noob talk, but I feel like I was pushing myself an appropriate amount when I was doing 60lbs 3x5 on Sept 19th (when I got my dumbbells), but last night I did 100lbs 3x10. And now when I lift a 60lbs dumbbell it feels so light. The one...

Sooooo.... I'm pretty sure @Ossoi was right about my 3kcal diet being too high. I've been tracking my caloric intake, calculated 1rep max ( Calculate Your One-Rep Max (1RM) ) lifts on the big three (bench, deadlift, squat) and my weight (every morning). The result is that I've gained some 3lbs...

Vid of me fucking up my last chance attempt and getting saved by one of my captains

I agree. I wish the game was set up such that if there's no orcs high enough on your "nemesis scale", Sauron would start sending brutal orcs after you that would increase in power until they started kicking your ass.

Some amazing legendary mob showed up to fight in a conquest. Tough son of a bitch with curses, fiery weapons and incredible regenetive capabilities. I considered replacing Az-Laar with him and put Az-Laar to the test. Az-Laar actually went berserk and accidentally killed one of my low-level...

I didn't notice any true input lag in either SoM or SoW for PC, but thanks to consolitis there's quite a few control issues since they have to map so many actions to so few buttons. Tallion will do a lot of things you don't want him to do, including: running up a wall instead of vaulting over...

Just in case there's any confusion, you get significant amounts of legendary gear ingame as well. At a guess I've gotten ~30 pieces so far, and I've just started Act IV and haven't tried farming legendary gear (or anything else) in any capacity.

No, lol. Though there is more reason to buy loot crates (vs orc crates), because at least the legendary gear you get could possibly change the gameplay a lot, and legendary gear doesn't betray you (though the big orcs can break your legendary sword, which creates a mission for you to go try to...

Nah. Pretty much everyone playing it says the same thing: Act4 doesn't frustrate anyone into buying orcs, and the whole loot crate debacle is overblown reactionary nonsense by well-intentioned fools.

I'm actually liking shadow wars more than the first 3 acts. I'd love it if they combined some of the features from one of my all-time favorite games, Mount and Blade, into Shadow of War. Basically, make a huge RTS + RPG-style game.

Another good one would be an item that gives you a buff that can give you a single-use last chance attempt.

I'd say right now the most insidious thing you could sell to players is something that would make an orc never betray you. And I don't even know how much that'd help in Act 4, I haven't explored the undead mechanics enough yet.

@Tarrant how much Tolkien bux you up to?

Also, I'd wager that the crew that fucked up the Forthog (he saved me for the first time yesterday, lol), DLC were in charge of the MTX in this game. Even without thinking about it that hard I could come up with much more palatable MTX options that would be more useful than just buying orcs...

Nah, my argument is that the MTX is some tacked on bullshit that all the pearl clutchers assumed the game was designed around. Obviously we won't get this data, but I'd love to see the number of people who paid for more than $15 worth or so of gold. It just makes so little sense to dump $$$ into...

@Utnayan So I broke into Act 4 this weekend. Like others have said, you have to beat 20 progressively harder Fort defense/assault missions. Now I could either spend some time prepping for each fort mission by: 1. Exploring the game world and collecting captains by engaging through the handful...

lol online battles. tldr: The attacking and defending orcs take one bus to the fight, if you max out the number of defending orcs you can bring, the attacking player only gets one follower to bring :D
