Considering these games live and die by gear grind, that pigeon holes you into what you can do with gear. Remember set bonuses for class gear in WoW? People were using prior tier class gear because the bonuses kicked the shit out of the new ones. That means you either have to carry the same...

Or the Patriots say "want a Super Bowl? Take a discount"

The Blue Dragonflight madness story was part of the lore long before WOTLK came out. Deathwing WTFpwned the blue dragonflight, driving Malygos insane as a result (Malygos was Deathwing's best friend). It's part of the reason blue dragons were super rare lore wise. WOTLK just saw Malygos...

Isn't that BFA? lol

That quickly devolves into "holy fuck we have too much shit to balance". Because now you aren't just balancing X class, you're balancing X class x 10. Or that one ability that every spec "needs". Besides, the talent system was an illusion of freedom. Sure, you could pick some completely...

All the servers had shit population imbalances, so it was usually giant Zerg owns the smaller Zerg. The losing side loses interest, then no one pvps

People complaining about flying must have forgotten how absolutely shit the flight paths were. “I want to go from point A to point B!” “Ok, after we leave A, we will take a swooping non-direct path across the zone, then we fly to point C, then fly back the way we came and take another swooping...

Ya, a good doomfist just shits all over enemy teams.

I imagine something like that, but scope does matter. It's been like a week since classic launched. Before they start taking a sledgehammer to a multi-million dollar game, they're going to want to get as much data as possible. Pretty much every MMO usually follows the same pattern 1) Unless...

Arcanite Reaper, HOOOOO!!!!!

Khane, regarding your spoiler, the showrunners mentioned that will end up serving as our window to shit going on outside the main city, so we'll probably see more Pact stuff or other nations that got fucked by the war.

Colts giving Jacoby Brisset 2 year 30mil extension. Good for him, not bad to go from Patriots #3 to Colts #1 lol

Right. Plus the Police are going to figure pretty damn heavily into the 2nd season, so having that background and character introduction helps.

The world in this show more or less mirrors the world during that era, though. Unexplored shit, fewer rights, limited employment options. The fae kingdoms aren't that different from the Africa/India-Asian empire expansions attempted by Britain and other Euro nations back during that time...

Which was the 100% exact same thing in the 19th/20th century of Irish and Italians.

Ya, no "lightning bolt! fireball!" shit. You've got alchemy, necromancy, and seeing the future covered. Although the future reading stuff seems to be a mixed bag. They either see shit crystal clear, or it is more vague.

Nice, first time to phase 2?

The Inca/Aztec/Mayan had pretty impressive civilizations and had a great grasp of architecture, math, and astronomy...but they never invented certain things (like gunpowder or the wheel for the Inca) and never really got a chance to adopt it or adapt it and the Conquistadors ran all over them...

I figured it was some callback to something historical. While I couldn't find anything about the Victorian era, apparently in Ancient Rome for a time prostitutes were supposed to have yellow hair as an ordinance. Could perhaps have been inspired by that?

It's possible the Burge didn't want to arm them (after all, the Burge wanted to more or less control that region for resources/etc as well). Those molotovs would have probably been enough to take out the zepplins if they could have flown above them and tossed them on the blimp part. Even if...

Ya it was funny. I checked his VOD afterwards to watch that game and his reaction and chat tearing him apart (dying to bronze OMEGALUL) was pretty funny

No firearms, explosives, or industry from the looks of it. edit: but ya, give Fae modern weapons and they own

lol competitive disabled. OWL/Master players were getting matched with low ranks. I had some streamer named Redshell in my game.

No, but the Red Sox were this season "cringe SJW" content always seems to depend on the perception of the viewer. Fae are an underclass and basically the stand-in migrants/refugees because their country got fucked up by the equivalent of 19th century European empire building. Because this is...

https://t-ono.net/interview/natsuko-ishikawa-takeo-suzuki-interview-pax-west-2019.html Of note: From this, I imagine they will probably end up cutting most of the "go here, pray return to the walking sands" fluff quests.

Spoilers as it talks about end of S1 and S2 beginning https://ew.com/tv/2019/08/31/carnival-row-showrunners-season-1-finale-season-2-preview/

Pact basically came across as an Ottoman/Prussian Empire type entity. All we really know is Bruge soldiers allied with "main" sects of Pixie, Pucks, etc. But they did mention that the Pact were working with rival sects of fae during the flashback scene, although I got the impression the rival...

The WW2 stuff also lol

I liked all those

Finished watching all of it. 10/10 for me. The gaslight/Victorian era mixed with fantasy was a big plus. Lots of 19th century parallels, including to Italian/Serbian anarchists, empire building, and stuff like HG Wells/Mary Shelly. Not sure why there are a bunch of 1 star review bombs on...

1.5 episodes in. Love the setting...like a Victorian London with fantasy creatures acting as the underclass. Amazon has been batting .500 with its recent series (Boys, Good Omens, Expanse soon to come, this show)

She seemed super familiar. The article then reminded me that she stood in for Kari on Mythbusters for like a season.

Yes, but outside of savage/extreme clears, it's easier to carry a mediocre DPS than it is to carry a mediocre tank or healer.

With movies like this, you have a general idea on how it ends due to your familiarity with the character. If you're smart, though, you can use that to create drama and induce dread in the audience. Like even though you know how it ends, part of you wants it to go a different way and for the...

Then weep another tear when you realize your voidwalker is a shitty tank in classic lol

IDK, I played a warlock and got my mount for free

Limited repop and contested. Good gear, but extremely limited supply and no guarantee of good drops. At least onyxia scales guaranteed the item for everyone.

Ya, it's basically the "Luke in a cave and he fights himself in Vader armor" equivalent I'm sure.

The original zones were in need of revamp, though. Flying aside, quest balance / engagement in many of the original zones was pretty iffy and there was a lot of underutilized areas. It also let them update things a bit graphically, since the vanilla zones were fundamentally the same since...

I do get their conundrum, though. If you invest too much in this and the nostalgia of all the kids who were in grade school / high school when Vanilla WoW was first out wears off, and main WoW remains stagnant, then you've invested lots of money into something that isn't going to give you a...
