The quest name for that belt is something like Beardin In The Woods. The NPC is located not too far from the starting area campfire near the mountains edge on the east side of the map. Step 1 is to obtain a drop off of local wildlife. Step 2 is to do the same off of one of the "diseased"...

Picked this up a couple days ago and enjoying it so far. Game definitely has the classic EQ vibe feel, even if there's no magic in the game. One peeve I have is with the day/night cycle. I like the darkness as it adds a little extra danger to travel/adventuring but it feels like the cycle is...

This is no doubt 100% spot on. It's also very much feels 100% like a man scorned. So, what was her name that did this to you? ;)

This game won't be true to its name unless there is a need for folks to exchange phone numbers in the event rare_raidmob_12 happens to spawn at 4am.

Every time I check in on this game, I'm reminded of how utterly dis-a-fucking-ppointing it is to see the progress they've made. Or more specifically, not made. Why the fuck do I care about having more fog levels to the newly re-re-revamped weather system? I mean, WTF?! It's like you researched...

This. One thing that was great about EQ was that by the time Velious was released, there were multiple zone options available for every level range. Unfortunately, the devs did such a poor job of spreading out the itemization that many went largely underutilized. I didn't start EQ until midway...

I don't disagree with anything you're saying. I believe the challenge in class balance only matters when MMOs become designed around soloing because at that point, every class needs to be able to a) tank/kite, b) DPS, and c) heal. In some way, shape or form, every class basically needs ways to...

I always find it interesting when people reference Vanguard's class design as the optimal base model for any new MMO game going forward. Though VG did launch, it was pretty obvious how untested and unbalanced much of the game was and AFAIR, never really went through any of the usual fixes and...

Dalton got out of there as quickly as he could. He's backing up Winston now in New Orleans.

EQ Live was always my fall back MMO but I just can't talk myself into going back to it yet again. Too much money for a really dated game, especially when I just boxed multiple accounts and played it like a single player game anyway. Just can't do it. I'm trying to cut back on my time sitting at...

Played around with this for about an hour. Game is ok if you're jonesing for some HOMM fun. I like the depth it seems to have but don't like how everything except artifacts resets between missions. And while the tutorial is easy, I found the first actual mission to be more challenging than I...

I can appreciate a solid troll here and there but guys like this idiot are too over the top for me. Just put him on ignore like I did and you'll be able to enjoy the normal level of toxicity that usually goes on here without interference.

Wow, that was a pretty epic battle. And yeah, what a finish!

My buddy and I always talk about how great movies like Trading Places and 48 hours were back in the day. Absolute classics with Murphy in his prime. But you couldn't make either of those movies today without absolute and total PC/woke bullshit, which would make them hot garbage.

I grew up in the Connery-to-Moore transition era. While they all seemed to have some cool moments, my all-time favorite was For Your Eyes Only. Some of those scenes/stunts were pretty epic back then. Loved the one of him being chased downhill on skiis before executing a perfect 360 aerial...

With so much being made lately about Tom Cruise and his love for making movies, I feel like Murphy pretty much mailed in the entire second half of his career purely for paychecks. Shit, his best performance in the last 20 years might very well be that of a jackass.

Michael Caine is like 108 years old and still putting in the work.

After the way he engaged the community and how things subsequently went down with 38S, I'd bet my last dollar that Curt wants absolutely nothing to do with this place ever again.

Mobs do an insane amount of damage in NG+6. Even trash hit pretty damn hard. Malenia has 2-shot me several times now, and that's with the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talisman equipped. You have to basically be perfect against her Waterfowl move or you're insta-gibbed. Man, fuck that bitch.

I typically avoided colossal weapons in my runs given how slow the swing speeds were. They just felt like I was giving the enemy a larger window of opportunity to crit hit me. After reading the comments above, I loaded up my primary toon, grabbed the Fallingstar weapon I had gathering dust in...

I had the same experience. ER was my first souls game and after some early research, I figured starting out on a mage build would be the best way to ease into the game. After 4 different toons and numerous complete playthroughs, that toon is my absolute least favorite one. Meanwhile, my melee...

Finally finished downloading the client and got to log in to see all of my toons appear to still be in tact. Logged into my main, a thief, who was in Lion's Arch. A little overwhelming as I don't remember a damn thing about anything in game though.

Most of my toons were lvl 80. I know my main was. That part I remember. And I think they had just introduced Ascended? gear, or something like that shortly before I quit. Whatever it was, it was extremely grindy to obtain/craft and I was already on the verge of quitting so I don't think I had...

I said accounts. What I really meant was characters. Might be silly to think that but I just assume there's a better-than-decent chance they've been purged after such a long time with no activity. Back in 2019 when Blizz launched Classic, I recall one day logging into the Retail side to piddle...

The last time I played GW2 was probably 2013-ish. Really enjoyed it but it felt like it lacked the character (more specifically, gear) depth I was used to with other popular MMOs and I eventually let it go. I know there have been at least a couple of major expansions since then. I'm so...

What’s From Software’s track record for producing DLCs for their souls games? Decent amount of new content or more features-based?

This is crazy. I've been reminiscing quite a bit lately about some of the old games I really enjoyed playing back in the day. There was one turn-based game I liked but couldn't remember the title of it. As soon as I saw the title of your post, it hit me - Jagged Alliance.

Man, seeing that old Kunark box brings back some great memories. Of every game I have ever played, I think EQ Kunark was and still is the absolute pinnacle for me in my gaming life. The novelty, the difficulty, the mystery, the sheer size of the game itself. All of it had me completely hooked.

It's been sooo long since I played any of them but good to know about the differences before I make a purchase. I found a few of the old Wizardry games on Steam too. Wizardry 1 was one of the very first games I remember playing as a kid and one of the main reasons why I got into RPGs (along...

Ironic that you're about to play Heroes of M&M 3. I've been seeing a few classics on Steam that I loved back in the day and that was one of them (the other was Descent. LOVED that game!) Anyway, I'm curious why you chose HoMM 3 over 4 and 5?

My first RTS was the original Warcraft which I really liked a lot but the original C&C was the one I truly loved the most. Back in the mid 90s when it first came out, I had a buddy of mine from work who would come over a couple nights a week to go head-to-head with me via direct connect. We...

Well nvm. It took me three tries but I could tell right away I was way over-leveled for the twin gargoyle fight. Their health bars went down in huge chunks at 119. Given how much rage I've been feeling with Maliketh, I'm ok with not having to deal with it for the twins. LOL

I forgot about those guys. Yeah, I can see them giving me a ton of trouble with no ash help. I’ll add them to the list to see how well I do with them though.

I bought DS1. Oof, it is indeed a bit clunky as many stated it would be compared to ER. I don't see myself getting totally engrossed into it but rather more of play it here and there over time, which is fine. I'm still trying to finish ER on my fourth toon. This was my challenge character - no...

I thoroughly enjoyed Elden Ring and now looking to try one of its predecessors. I've heard of Dark Souls, Demon Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro, plus good things about God of War too. If I were looking for something as close to ER as possible, which one would folks recommend? Btw, this is for...

This is it exactly. For talismans, use the Rotten Winged Sword Insignia (+AP with successive attacks), Claw Talisman (jump attacks), Lord of Blood's Exultation (+AP from blood loss) and Radagon's Soreseal (++attributes). And if you want to truly max it out, add in the White Mask and Raptor's...

I started experimenting with new builds recently. I use multiple toons to play with various goals in mind for each but my primary toon is around level 270 and finished through NG+3. I recently read about a bleed build using dual twinblades that I wanted to try so I loaded him up and started...

Valid point. I'll amend my previous statement then to simply say, I found him annoying as fuck.

100%. Wig or not, the character reminded me of JarJar Binks - served no purpose being in the show and was overall just annoying as fuck.

Wife and I saw it opening night in IMAX. Absolutely incredible! Someone mentioned above that they found themselves gripping the seat during several of the more intense flight scenes (of which there were several). That happened to me as well. I also caught myself literally sitting on the edge of...
