    Everquest - Live Servers

    That's what I got for them. The guy I was selling them to was reselling them, but I have no idea what his profit margin was. I sold him 1-3 every week for months and it was never enough. He would regularly send me messages asking me if I had any on hand, but I could only do so much outside of...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    It's been 22 or 23 years since I've paid any kind of attention to EQ whatsoever. I'm surprised I remembered as much as I did. And yeah, rogues had the soloing power of a wet noodle. To do anything meaningful you had to have amazing gear, be skilled, and bring a bag full of tricks/utility items...

    Me? if so, totally wrong. I never played anything but Rogue.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I can't remember exactly, but it was 65-70. PoPish iirc. May have been LDoN because I have some augments, but I was definitely no more than 70 because that's what level I was when I logged in. My wife's monk was 69 when I logged her in. We leveled together so it's apparent that when I quit I had...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I definitely wasn't a scrub or a casual. When I left the game the gear on my main was BiS or close to it, but I really don't know why I never sold my account because I had already been selling fungi tunics to one guy for $400 each, for a long time. Speaking of which, I was a rogue and had no...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    For no reason that I can explain, I downloaded EQ day before yesterday and logged in for the first time in 22 years. I was a little bit surprised to find my characters still there.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    You're 100% right and I fucking hate them for destroying the IP. WotC has jumped the shark through a flaming hoop. I don't know if D&D irredeemable, but it's close and I don't have much faith that it'll ever recover from the tailspin it's in. I mean...they hired two more retard senior...

    What are you playing?

    Being in a bleeding edge EQ guild and the military don't mix. I got close to major issues a few times. A few days a week I'd stay up all night playing EQ and would drag ass while on duty. I even got called in on the carpet once and asked if I had a problem drinking. I never told them that I was...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Being a staunch conservative, you'd think that I'd draw a line in the sand with people drinking and/or doing (soft) drugs at work, but I'm not entirely against it as long as it's not putting anyone in danger or the work suffers. As long as it's not obvious and the work is getting done safely...

    BB.com Misc Refugee Thread

    I'm a creature of habit and rarely visit any other parts of these forums outside of my usual and had no idea there was a thread about Misc refugees. I was a Miscer for years, but stopped visiting around 2014. The place was great. Until it wasn't. Similar to here, the amount of absolutely...

    Arc Raiders

    I never attacked anyone first, but on the raids I used a key, I was prepared to. The simple lack of self-awareness of someone coming in and not immediately leaving would be enough for me to mow them down. If I spend a key to open a locked door, I have claimed the room and everything in it. If...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Two of the most common, preventable reasons that a card dies are: 1. Not being supported. Please, for the love of everything, use the support bracket that comes with the card and if it doesn't, find something that can prop that front right corner (assuming standard build) up. 2. Running them...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    My rig (paid $1950 total) is a 7800x3D, 7900 XTX , and 32 gigs of RAM. I play at 1440p and it more than handles everything that I throw at it. I was thinking about moving up to 4k when the 60 series drops, but I'm definitely not paying $5k+ for a fucking card.

    Arc Raiders

    I powered through my absolute hatred of being betrayed by fake-friendlies and played this several hundred hours, but I had no interest in the reset and my desire to play fell off like a rock after having done everything the game had to offer. I have less than zero interest in the PvP because the...

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    I'm talking about Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon. How did you come to the conclusion that the game isn't a huge success? The game was developed by a studio of ~50 for ~10-12 million dollars and it has sold ~700,000 copies (so far). I have no idea how many copies of the expansion have been sold...

    Fallout 5 - greenlit apparently

    I've played every game you mentioned and glad to see another man of culture. Wasteland 2 and 3 are great games that don't get enough praise. There are several other games in the genre that you might try: 1. Tunguska 2. Raiders! Forsaken Earth (same tone but more strategy-based) 3. Encased 4...

    tAinted gRail: fAll oF aValon

    I've been closely watching this game since release and even played the demo for a few hours. I really liked it, but what's prevented me from buying it is that A LOT of people say the longer you play the more the quality falls off and by Act III, the game is below-average. My hope is that the...

    Exodus

    I was beside myself with anticipation for this game when it was announced, but the recent trailer and the departure of one of its founders has completely tanked my excitement. Exodus looks like it's far more likely to be a painfully average game than what we all hoped for.

    Never said she was, but she's all over the trailers and she's a huge part of the season -- right? I don't understand the point of your post.

    Spartacus: House of Ashur

    I really enjoyed the first few seasons of this show. It's just violence, blood, and sex. Brainless, enjoyable entertainment. I gave this season a shot despite all the clues suggesting some jogger Shanequa was going to be the star and never made it beyond half way through the first episode...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    The modern language and edge guts my enjoyment for something I would love to love. Also, the 6th grade dick and buttsex jokes would be funny if they weren't in literally every episode, every season, in both series'. I didn't hate the M9, but I didn't love it. It had some genuinely cool moments...

    I know I'm adding to the derail, but my inner D&D nerd can't help it. I really liked 2e (although I haven't played it in many years) because the aesthetic was amazing, the lore was great, and the classes were distinct. Unlike 5e where almost everyone has some form of magic and many classes are...

    I don't often visit this thread, but I started playing during Revised and completely nope'd out of Magic in 2016 after playing the game hardcore all the way to the Pro Tour level. My last PT was Oath of the Gatewatch (I did horribly, but I was alone and took a longshot by trying to break the...

    No. When you're naked, you have a safe slot that you can put an item in that you'll keep even if you fail to extract. It's not the only source of safe slot(s), but it's certainly the cheapest.

    Divinity

    2e is what I cut my teeth on and will always be my favorite edition. It has so much incredible lore and worldbuilding (as does 3e) in the mountain of content available for it and the art is some of the best that has ever been painted for D&D. For those of you that haven't visited the D&D thread...

    That's a really bad strategy because the tools to determine its use are extremely reliable and companies that lie to their customers tend to get wrecked.

    I'm not going to bother typing out all my thoughts on AI because it would be a massive wall of paragraphs, but it's something I have spent a HUGE amount of time learning about and I'll summarize my thoughts. Like it or not, AI becoming omnipresent is inevitable and the rate at which companies...

    I remember being ready to burst when Torment: Tides of Numenera's development was announced, but I will never, ever, ever forgive inXile for the absolute fucking train wreck that game ended up being. It had the potential to be great (and some elements of it were), but it was a clunky, poorly...

    The DoS series and BG 3 are two totally different games despite both being CRPGs. DoS I/II are great and have their own charm, but the production value of BG 3 is absolutely extraordinary. It's objectively the better of the two examples you offered. If you want to break into the tabletop-to-PC...

    Pathfinder 1e vs 2e

    While I've never actually played a single minute of Pathfinder, I own everything printed for 2e and have a shit ton of 1e books (including a physical copy of literally every 1e adventure path ever printed). I bought the material because it's only one step removed from D&D and I like to have a...

    There's a YouTube video where a guy tested the theory you guys are referring to. Granted, it's one anecdote, but his findings were extremely persuasive. If you genuinely don't fuck with people, it's seems likely that the matchmaking algorithm is going to do its best to pair you with players...

    Solasta 2

    I played the demo months ago and it's a huge upgrade to the original. The first game was extremely sound mechanically, but it had a lot of jank. Namely the voice acting, weak narrative, and the character models were ass, but what they did with the budget they had was nothing short of amazing...

    Divinity: Original Sin 3

    The incredibly dark, gritty nature of that trailer goes a long way to soften my fear that Larian's next game will have too much lame 'comedy.' It's just CGI, but the tone looks amazing and with what they were able to do with BG3, it has me very excited.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post
