    NFL 2014 - 2015 Season Thread

    I don't think anyone doubts that the Cowboys will put up some amazing numbers on offense this year. But they'd better hope a miracle happens for the defense. They went from historically bad, to historically bad without all the good players. Maybe something will click without Lee, Ware and...

    I'm amazed at how many women are obsessed with this. I'm finding it entertaining for the first 2 episodes. BTTF series are my favorite movies though, so I'm kind of a sucker for time travel. I can't figure out if this will end up being time travel'y enough for me though. And wtf Quin? You...

    I've been enjoying it. It's not a comedic masterpiece or anything, but it's entertaining enough for 20 minutes. Helps that I can relate to all of it except the kid stuff.

    The quest hub system isn't great, but they did do a good job of making it flow well. Last night was the first time I noticed it sucking. Was in Hellswamp, and there was a LOT of back and forth between hubs (run to quest giver, bring back something, run back to quest giver, bring back something...

    My taxes shouldn't have been due for at least 4 or 5 days if it had been paused. And between CB1 and CB2, no labor was accumulated as far as I know.

    So apparently servers kept ticking during this latest down time. All patrons should have 5k labor saved up. But it also means all your land probably requires tax certs.

    I like that your solution to getting your fix for certain game types is just playing multiple games as opposed to one that tries to incorporate multiple elements of each. And then you immediately go into how you don't have as much time for gaming as an older adult that you used to.

    The Tuesday dungeon is infinitely easier. You'd likely waste more energy hoping for a drop in Mistral.

    I was thinking about this, and they mentioned on Reddit that they'd be doing a minimum of one more closed beta after this one. So put CB3 at the weekend of 8/15, and then open beta two weeks later for labor day weekend makes a lot of sense (and fits the every 2 weeks thing they've done). Then...

    The only part about the labor system I don't like is that it feels like owning land might be the equalizer. Having to spend 200 lp for tax certs basically makes the extra 5 while logged in negligible. I don't have anything to back that up, just feels like that'll be the case. Then again, if they...

    So far I've gotten the water, dark, and lightning units from these guardian dungeons. Not sure if I care enough to keep doing them hoping for the light one, and I can't fucking beat the fire one.

    I don't know how you all are doing Cayena. I'm a rainbow team, and had mostly no issues with Lico stage 3. Even on stage 2 with Cayena I had to use all but one of my heal items (have 3 kinds), and still lost 2 units. Stage 3 I got fucking stomped. She's just AOE BB'd me in a single round.

    After seeing my clipper get owned by a two ship crew, I can't wait to roll with a fucking armada. Really excited for the PVP aspects of this one. I'm also enjoying the farming shit way more than I probably should. It reminds me a bit of the EQ tunnels, but you're playing a long game of what I...

    I'm 33 after just 3 days. That's after rerolling during beta 1, where I got to about 20. I'd imagine you could be 50 during the headstart with a little poopsocking. Especially if you find a family to poopsock with.

    Yeah, I already figured that F2P would suck. Bought the silver pack before this weekend. I was going to put off applying to PRX until the next beta, but seeing how things are with PVP now, I'm thinking I may as well just take the plunge. How's the PRX presence on Naima? Or are they all...

    Speaking of the sailing part...it's fucking ridiculous. Got my harpoon clipper built and literally you sail just into the open waters and it's swarming with people trying to kill you. We ended up accidentally sailing into some seabugs and got raped, and then a galleon and clipper came by and...

    How does mentoring in this game work? Like I know one of the quests for PC requires someone 30+ to accompany you. Does it just kill all the exp or something?

    Either myself or Denamian. Although I think he's running Lava now. The leader is Cyber Lilith II, gives 50% for rainbow teams. I had been running a rainbow team using Leore (25%) until I rolled Lilith.

    People are awful at hiding their secret farms. There's an alcove spot in Arcum Iris right off the main road where I've seen 5 farms by different people in the last 12 hours. Last night there were 4 of us there to steal this guy's trees as soon as they matured. The guy never showed up. My...

    You should be able to find a key though. Just hang out on the Reddit for Archeage for about an hour. I think they gave out like 3x as many keys for this beta as they did the first. Unless you just know you're going to want to play, or don't care about the $50.

    I'm on Naima. Or Namia? I can't fucking remember. I rerolled my 20ish guy and I'm 12 right now. I'm kind of cheating with it though since I have 2 farms and a ton of gilda stars I'm going to use to power through the lowbie shit. So I'll hopefully be around 40 by the end of this beta. Name's...

    I think they're mostly crap. My Eze is up to 5* now, and his defense is just pathetic compared to even my 4* rares. He's still on my team, but that's just because I'm running a rainbow team and don't have a worthwhile green/yellow to use other than him.

    I want to say it's up to like 92 or some shit now? As far as RG3 "getting it" I think you really have to give all the QB's in that class another year to prove it. RG3 absolutely fucking tore it up his rookie year. I mean, he had one of the best completion percentages and lowest turnover...

    I'll say that the connecting thing is new for this beta. Didn't have any issues during beta 1. I'll also say that the farming side of patron status is overblown. I'm a patron for this one, but I've figured out that it doesn't make as much of a difference. The small farm doesn't really have...

    In case you don't notice, today is a metal day for the honor summons. Ended up with a Lance and 2 gods, which I guess is ok (26 summons). Really wanted Magress or whoever the light starter is, but I didn't have any other starts except the one I picked (Eze), so this works.

    I get excited every year for that. And then I watch about 3 minutes of the Hall of Fame game and remember I don't give a shit about preseason games. Even a few years ago when the Redskins were playing, I didn't care. Not this year though. Not even going to bother watching.
