GoD has some of the best raids in the game. It's where EQ really starts to get good, which is why it's baffling that most people quit before they get to it. The era of Secrets of Faydwer (level 80) through Rain of Fear (level 100) also contains a lot of great raids. Probably the game's best era...

Patience aside, I'm considering just going with the C1 myself at this point. Not sure how keen I am on G series wall-mounting. The wall has studs and it's pretty safe for a wall mount, but I've never done that with a TV and I might constantly be worried about it falling or something. Maybe more...

I know what you mean. I've done almost every raid in EQ in-era except for a couple of exceptions that nag at me: Veeshan's Peak (Kunark) Garudon (Kunark?) LDON raids Well, the last one doesn't nag at me, the other two kind of do

Update: My second plat of Dark Souls 2 went well and was a lot easier than the SOTFS version. At the end of NG, got every trophy except Vendrick who I keep losing to. And of course the couple of spell ones that take NG++. If I ever beat Vendrick, I can go to NG+ and probably fly through that in...

Yeah, that was the lame part of chanter. You can't do ANYTHING else while in a group because you're always waiting for charm breaks. If I needed to AFK I'd break charm before I AFK'd and long-duration mezz/root it. Which gave me like, 2 entire minutes to do something else and run back, but it...

I think you're onto something here. I've heard that circumcision can and does damage the frenulum, which is the most sensitive part. I got circumsized pretty late, as I mentioned before. Now that I'm paying more attention to it, the frenulum has like nonexistent sensitivity wheras when I was...

I'm goin' Necro for this one. Friend who hasn't played in a while is gonna static-run with me Day 1 at least to level 30ish (and catch up later). I'm going to try to go balls to the wall to 50, though I wasn't able to do that on Aradune. Pretty much crapped out around level 42 and had to go to...

This is kinda what I want to do, build a big mining-dedicated computer. Except I was gonna go with 3-4 video cards (whatever I can fit in one tower), not 14. Factoring in electricity cost, roughly how long will your setup take to pay for itself? For my part I got kind of scared off of the idea...

Sounds like playing them out of order is a bad idea, and going back to the old ones after the new ones is a bad idea too. If the QOL is that drastic, I'll play them in chronological order. Still considering leaving out Generations and/or MH4, but I don't want to just skip right to the latest two...

I've talked about this already a few months/posts up in this very thread but I've got a question, which MH games were worth playing. I'm definitely playing World/Iceborne, but I'm a fan of playing an entire series (within reason) once I get into something. I was thinking I'd start with Monster...

I mentioned this in the PS5 thread, maybe someone here can help out: Whenever I play Mario Kart 8 on the Switch, I have serious drifting issues. The controller will either bank sharply in one direction (usually left) at random times, or it'll slightly veer in one direction consistently for...

Yeah, I don't really want to do another TLP long-term, though this is coming up on the "end" of Phinny so who knows. Right now my plan is to play classic and see how much plat I can make farming/wheeling/dealing with this new loot system. I'll hardcore it in classic and then re-evaluate if I...

There are still going to be situations where an endboss is much higher level than everything else in its expansion. Tunat is level 85, OMM is level 88 or 90, can't remember, etc. The other bosses in their respective expansions are mostly down at like level 70-75. I'm assuming loot won't be...

That's actually a good way to get people into LDON raids (and make the four months of PoP a bit less monotonous, at least for the last month). Have LDoN raids drop Time loot, basically.

The only controller I've had major drift issues with was the joy-con. Had to return mine to Nintendo last year because it was basically unplayable. Weird thing is, with the brand-new joy-cons I STILL have drifting issues, but only when I play Mario Kart 8. Every other Switch game is fine. Kart...

BTNB, PSTH, XPOA for me. I'd like to get BTWN and GSAH (which I had for a while) but I'm now more in the camp of "have more in a smaller number of things and hope for the best". Rather than splitting the same amount 5 or 6 ways I'll split it 2 or 3 at the most. Unfortunately I can't drop 100k on...

VET just about back where it was when I sold pre-emptively before the Biden speech and re-bought on the dip the next day. Taking fees into account, I'm up 13-15% from where I was previously at this point. Weathering a dip feels like finally successfully executing a parry/riposte in a Souls game

Speaking of pains in the ass, is the Shrine of Amana the worst area in the entire Soulsborne series or what? Good God. I've been through the second part (of 3) so many times now that most of the enemies stopped spawning. Now I'm trying to get that one Estus Shard off to the side, which requires...

In DkS I got 3 of the 4 primal bonfires lit, only missing the fire fortress (Iron Keep?) to be done. However I hit a bit of a wall with Huntsman's Copse. Think I'm just fatigued from playing this so much. I can't seem to beat Undead Lords. Also tried the chariot boss and lost that a few times...

Yeah, right about now that's looking like the right call. I also sold my MANA and ADA a few weeks ago and then they went way up. Well, I'm sticking with VET. If this causes VET to never grow again...well, I owe everyone an apology, but I'm not going to jump out of it any time soon. Getting...

RIP, this thread~ My Souls 2 Demake run has been interesting. I thought it was the weakest Souls game the first time around and this run has confirmed it. The PS3 version ran like absolute crap at first (forget 30 FPS, open areas were like 15 FPS). I didn't patch the game for a while because I...

It really is, just maybe not on ETH. And as long as you won't get depressed and mope if it crashes another 20% after the buy-in like I do

What do you guys use to stake it? Binance I presume? Didn't see anything in there about staking, will take another look.

Staking is another great thing about Eth. I don't believe you can stake VET. @Mist will definitely want to stake that $50,000 and get interest going on it.

Yeah, I think Eth is the strongest long-term. The only reason I'm in VET instead is because I see bigger short-term gains in that one. I could split evenly between both, I suppose. I prefer to just go with one or the other at a time. I'm probably doing it wrong.

Not advised, Ethereum is at an extremely high point right now. It's going to go up over time but IMO buying in at 2600 when it's been hovering around 2200 usually lately would be foolish. It's been resistant to dips unlike the others, though that doesn't mean it won't dip. It just dips less...

Hnng. I'd certainly invest in her stock exchange. Yeah, this is pretty good so far. The tough part about the upcoming dip will be knowing when it's bottomed-out. The day after the speech? The weekend? Weekend would be ideal for me, and we typically have weekend slumps anyway so there might be a...

Me too dude. Today was perfect, VET's price crested right around my buy-in average (.21, not .22, my math was faulty) so I was able to move everything to USD at almost no loss. I sold my entire VET stock when it was at about .2095 for a total loss of about $15 after fees. If I'd sold an hour...

BEGUN, THIS NEW EQ WAR HAS.

This could be a large swing. If his plan isn't as bad as expected, it isn't like the market is going to jump up either. Not a lot of risk in this play, I bet. I know you're out for swing trades instead of holding. Is there a point where you'd go "this is worth a hold" with VET and would leave...

Hey, we like to feel like victims. ....."we" when I don't play one anymore and 90% chance I'll be SK or Nec on here

I'll have some money again next Friday, if we can get a solid crash going for next weekend I'd be willing to do another big buy-in. I'm excited again.

We've had AoS vs OGC, AoS vs Faceless, OGC vs Faceless, Atabishi vs Mabbu, all that's really left now for a new server is Atabishi vs Zaide.

Nice. Is the guild name a reference to something from the Zimzam case? Yeah. SK or Monk LFGuild, unless I finally decide to Necro it up. Definitely something with FD this time, no question. I think you're right, and unfortunately the timing is just right that I think it'll be the thing to...

Yeah, just once I'd like to see a server start in Kunark for the level 1+ leveling options. They did it for Luclin with Selo. Also REALLY want to see a server start in TSS for the same reason, level 1+ leveling options. Have mentioned it in other threads, but a TSS start would get so much use...

It's good that they're doing something different, but it still has the PoP issue. Presumably LoY is a non-factor, but with LDoN at one month you're still looking down the barrel of four months of PoP. Every server has a big dive there. I'd like to see them do something to keep people playing...

They could have named it "GG Brad"

Yeah, $120/mo on something you're using for general purpose seems pretty good to me. I'd be aiming at like $400-500 a month with 3x graphics cards running 24/7 and doing nothing except mining. Those GPUs look perfect and I don't have to be a 30xx hog if I go that route. This should come...

This is a great post and I'm going to take some time to understand it later when I don't have distractions. I see a lot of familiar faces on that list. Still have PSTH

Yeah, most of my money the next couple weeks is going into a new TV, and a big payment on a car I'm refinancing. Didn't plan it in the budget to do any more investing for a few weeks. It's a really bad time for me for a dip to happen. And as a weekly reminder, my last big buy-in was $2300 of...
