I'm guessing faction gear doesn't count? Because my world drops are way worse than the faction stuff.

That's not what I said. I just don't care. Is it fucked? Yeah. Is it worse than what normal people go through? Absolutely not. Sitting here arguing about how unfair it is a multi-millionaire is getting screwed out of a couple extra million dollars while most people here are making a fraction...

Speaking of that, the tutorial area I had two of the first boss spawn. Was watching a streamer play and it was just one boss. I'm like...wtf?

I just have a hard time giving a shit about these two women who play pretend for a living and get paid more than most people in their entire lifetimes, complaining that they got screwed. Yeah, maybe it is a contract violation, but I don't fucking care. They can go cry about it to the media who...

It wasn't random pugs, it was a bunch of other streamers. If you wanna see the whole thing, it was his broadcast from Monday (a little over an hour in). Edit: Deleted video because it keeps autoplaying.

Co-op is a shit show too. Lots of people saying characters being wiped. But even getting it setup is a nightmare. I've had the "can't quit the game" bug probably 95% of the time. I'd say it only actually worked like twice. We did eventually get co-op working, but at some point I guess we both...

It's really that healing is too good. But fixing that would be a massive rebalance. In my limited use, I got swarmed by about 7 equal levels mobs. Almost survived, but the cast of the ground heal can be interrupted, and they can knock you out of it. With some playing around with it though, I...

Fucking red end of the month making my spreadsheet look like shit (update it at the end of each month).

That's pretty much what I'd been doing in beta, although mostly half assed because I'm trying to not really play. Did heavy armor light staff plus axe. Will probably do hatchet instead. Don't see any reason to go even further defensive with sword/shield.

Well shit, just happened to check and their recommended settings for 1080p on high is a god damn 2080. What the fuck? This game doesn't look that great. Why the hell does it need a fucking 2080? It's basically a step up from Diablo.

I guess I should say I slowly lowered every setting from ultra down to low. Nothing seemed to help.

Nope, was on DX11. Set everything to low and it still ran like shit. Seems like everyone is having the same issue (at least with Game Pass). Even people with 30x0 cards. Hopefully they patch it.

This optimization seems terrible. Like, I know my PC isn't new, but it's a 1060 running 1080p. I turned almost everything to low and I still get FPS stutters constantly (like every time anything blows up, I use an ability, stuff spawns, boss ability, etc).

Honestly, I feel like having a house that old has to be somewhat comforting. It means it's likely to stand as long as you do even basic maintenance. Like those houses in Europe that are 500+ years old. If it's lasted that long, it's probably good to go. It's why one of my concerns with new...

I think just like equities, at worst we'll see a 10% overall correction. Some certain cities (or sectors in equities) may see a 20% or more drawdown, but on the whole, there isn't going to be a huge discount. And if interest rates ever rise again, all that gets wiped out anyway, so if you're...

The only part that stings is, once again, we bought our house in California for $240k in 2015. At 2100 sqft. Sold it for $315k in April ($156/sqft). We're getting about 1500 sqft with this one for $292k ($198/sqft). We had a real hard time with a mental block of not paying $240k. Period. After...

We got it at asking price! Our additional escalation didn't even come into play. There's a small part that wonders if we could've offered lower, but with the comps, the price was justified. So I kind of don't give a shit. We've seen a bunch of re-sales at the $190-220/sqft range, same general...

I don't think anyone missed the point except maybe the people who made it. See the RLM review for a good synopsis. I think most people actually enjoyed the story portion of the movie. All the stuff with the family and dialogue and shit? It was good stuff! Red Guardian was great! It all fell...

So...possibly good news for the economy, but kind of shit news for equities, since the firehose is getting turned off (or lowered, more likely)?

That's a great point. Look at Europe where most people just can't afford to buy. If you didn't inherit it, good luck!

I understood the repo thing, but it sounds like it's in conflict with the taper definition? Taper seemed like it's saying "end QE," but the repo thing sounded like they were preparing to buy more treasuries? Am I just reading it wrong?

Today has been the most stressful day I've had in a long time. Offers (highest/best) were due yesterday at 6pm. Been waiting all day. I feel like the longer it drags on, the less likely we got it.

This seems a bit of a weird solution. Essentially having the PvP players awarded with a function that disables PvP (for their own players), thereby protecting their PvE players and discouraging their own faction from engaging in it?

Dude, I expected it in like 2013. I remember as I was prepping to be a pilot that they were in the initial stages, and that was 2010. I figured I'd get my wings at around the time the movie premiered. Seems like this movie got off the ground about as well as my aviation career. Crazy that...

Ironically I was reading Reddit and they were saying the PVP really feels half assed like they threw it on top. So if the PVE is pretty crap according to FoH, and the PVP is half assed...what the fuck do you do at end game? Their complaints were a lot about how wars are limited in time and...

So all this talk about how this is a 90% PVP game does make me a bit concerned. If the gear is mostly normalized, what's the goal? It doesn't sound like there's PVP gear. Is it just PVP for PVP sake? Try to take over territory for...what exactly?

I tried out a build doing life staff and hammer, with heavy armor. That's essentially what it is. Pull everything, stand in circle, and hack it all down with the hammer. Full hp when you're done. Fire staff is int.

My worry was more because if I'm all in on focus, my 2nd weapon will do shit damage.

Makes sense. I kept seeing streamers talk about how they were level 15-16 at 15-16 hours in. I'm like...what the fuck? I got there in 7 or 8 hours and I fucked off gathering for most of it.

Not sure if anyone can answer, but I kind of want to play life staff, but I'm worried I won't even be able to solo the PVE content. Is that retarded? It seems good up through level 16, but I think everything is kind of weird up through 20.

I'll complain then. How could it possibly be that a world exists where they unleash fucking hell on New York City of all places, and their relatives somehow don't know who they are? That seems a bit ridiculous. That'd be like if Sully Sullenberger had saved the city on 9/11 and somehow his...

Did she still get a medal for it? I hope not.

According to the comments, they scrapped that system entirely and that's not what New World is anymore. I don't have enough experience or understand really what he was saying to dispute that though (and maybe it's because I haven't PVP'd yet). I will say his comments about PVE seem true though...

I told my wife though, the higher this runs up, the less a correction hurts. 10% from yesterday's close versus 10% from say, March, are vastly different.

Fuck, I wish I knew the answers for myself. I'm pretty neutral between Syndicate/Marauders. Will be on US East. I may end up poopsocking if my retirement lines up with this. And class is something I waffle on over and over. I want to try out as many as possible on the beta but it's hard to do...

I read something that said if you do full heavy armor and just dump the shield you come in at medium. Not sure if anyone can confirm that. But if you're not doing sword and board, there's no reason to carry the shield around. And it counts against your armor weight.

I think I mentioned previously that we had been looking at new construction. It was super bizarre, the new construction (at least from this one company) was selling at basically the same or even slightly less than 20-30 year old homes. So we'd look at a re-sale home and just be like, "this is...

Yeah, I've been seeing houses sit for a long time. Also a couple that we went to see and thought were overpriced that got pulled from the market completely. I think a lot of people got super greedy, and I'm glad people are telling them to get fucked.

Yes? (well, it's closed, but whatever) Are you saying because it's a beta, we should expect the servers to go down every day to address instability? I mean, I suppose I could buy that. The goal of a beta is to fix shit that's messed up. But in this case, server instability should be one of the...
