Ya, mini Alexander is the boss drop.

No doubt, but it sort of fails because it doesn’t come across as very real or genuine. The FF live letters can sometimes suffer for the “live” part, like when YoshiP goes off on a 20 minute tangent explaining why teleport costs are going up 100 Gil because some people in chat got salty. But...

You do get the cat minion from Alexander, don’t you? Or am I confused You def get the mini Omega minion from the final Omega boss (it’s called OMG)

Shadowbane is also a perfect example as well and what I consider to be the textbook example of how not to make a PvP game. AoC even has the Shadowbane like mechanic to being able to declare on low level cities, which all but ensures that whoever hits hard and hit first basically wins the game...

Any system that lets a player or group of players severely impact the play experience of the majority is always going to fail A lot of the proposed AoC design sounds like things that Sharif hated about AA: safe zones, pirate faction, and bots. And I can understand that, but I think he is...

On the flip side, it probably helped convince them to have ShB written primarily by one person, the person who wrote both the Doma stuff and the Omega stuff in SB (probably the two best parts)

When keeping it real goes wrong

I laughed at the cries of joy that they no longer have to poop sock the fight

Even if you didn’t pvp, pvp influenced pve 1) travel costs were heavily discounted if your faction owned territories or forts that gave travel cost reductions. If your faction owned shit, you would literally have to spend 25% or more of your max Azoth to travel anywhere 2) town owners...

Talking Dead was kind of interesting when it was brand new: hype “talk shows” were a novelty at that point. The “in memorandum “ clip they used to add was also sort of amusing. But that got tiring and now every show tries to do the same shit

Beyond the core rewards and trying to challenge yourself on harder content, probably not much. But they are also fairly simplistic- I suppose it remains to be seen how complex or content rich the PVE side of OW2 ends up being.

It's a shitty mobile game - their target audience is kids and soccer moms

Yup, plus she can more forward and if you hit an enemy with it, they get knocked back. Her ult has some great teamplay synergy as well, since it pulls everyone in and makes it easier to clump players for an AOE ability, like Hanzo's ult

This is what, the 3rd or 4th adaptation of Firestarter?

For some. Orisa is really strong right now - I actually see her played more than Rein

Yup, I played on his server and we fought his guild The White Order. He hated pirate faction especially.

I suspect they will give some quick recap for the sake of the story

Borg Hive Mind is also the politics forum lol

Yup. Some of the main takeaways from NW 1) One very strong and very toxic guild can essentially kill the population of an entire server - and they don’t care. That is a “win state” to them, because they will either server hop to chase the PvP dragon or quit when they get bored, but the damage...

Yes, the PVP will be available to OW1 and OW2 users, although I think the graphical updates only come with OW2. The PVE stuff they released in the past lets you spec into special talents that make your ability do bonker things and supposedly it will be more in the vein of the anniversary events...

They probably saw what happened to New World and decided to re-evaluate their original PVP plans lol

I’m still convinced that a plot point will be the corporation discovering the tree can essentially do consciousness transfers into a new body, which could effectively allow for immortality and be worth a fuckton to the corporate leaders. Being able to transfer yourself into a younger or more...

There was other sources, but the tree had a super deposit and was basically a motherlode. That combined with “lol fuck the aliens” made it an easy choice for the corporation

Avatar was entertaining for what it was , had good audience appeal, and was more akin to an amusement park ride if you got the 3D experience But the IP vanished in the minds of most of the world after

The comparison between TF2 and LA was the biggest gotcha. Most games followed predictable day/night cycles in terms of population peaks and valleys with approximately the same variance. He even included games popular in Europe, like DOTA and CS. TF2 and LA had much less variance, which helps...

Apparently some were former TPS members

No clue, haven't followed that at all

Looks like some group finally beat it and got the world first

That would only work for a low budget indie title that only cares about just being heard of and doesn't care if they are a one-hit wonder (ie, even bad publicity is publicity). The whole Blizzard thing is too fresh in people's minds, he would be toxic waste to most marketing right now to slap...

It's still a dumb goal, because it is subjective and can technically never be achieved. Getting called out on that is fine

This fight is pretty nuts - saving Hauchebro results in him and Ysale holding back dragons in p6. Hsravelger also has a thing where if anyone in the raid dies to his mechanics, he goes berserk because he broke his vow to Shiva to not kill men and insta-wipes the raid.

It's called most moderate people, which make up the vast majority of the population despite what the loudest 1% on the internet would have you believe. I think most far left people are just as fucking stupid as the far right.

Depends on your perspective - the extreme Qs were seeking overall destructive changes to society due to the 4chan troll fueled shit being pumped out. The witch hunt "cancel culture" extreme SJWs were also seeking overall destructive changes to society. Just like in religion, you have some...

Rin's static discovered something interesting - at a certain point in the 2nd half, Thordan doesnt enrage if you DPS him low enough. He basically looks defeated and asks for mercy if you get him as low as 1%. If you kill him, the dragons eventually wipe you. Theory is you have to spare...

Counter point: It is also why conspiracy theories like Q'anon take root. The part of the brain that involves religion also is ripe for conspiracy theories. Whether or not you are religious, humans are literally hardwired for it.

Truth. She was a crush for many people during the TNG era

It didn't, but now you have Doom Patrol and Peacemaker and the Harley Quinn cartoon which sort of fill the same niche

Hate to break it to you, but even TOS did that and is core to pretty much every Sci-Fi show ever: You take a political or societal issue, paint it green and give it strange looking clothes and call it an unfamiliar name, then present it to the audience in a way where a core message is given to...

That is just sales 101 and isn't anything new. You could travel back in time thousands of years and find the same thing. A young, attractive, and charismatic person selling something is usually going to find more success because of heavily ingrained human biases and psychology.
