Fun stuff: with the weekly reset (EU), Apocron on the Broken Shore got reset as well, could take him yesterday, and again today.

The only way you have a dark side of the moon is if you listen to Pink Floyd

The last of the "trilogy" feels like a "my editor threw a busload of money in front of me" novel. Most of Haldeman's work is very good. Check "Mindbridge" (a classic), "Tools of the Trade" (a spy novel with a SF gimmick) and more recently "Camouflage".

The only place where I see a difference is: - Suramar. A lot of WQ require you to have done parts of the original storyline for Suramar. - Crating. If you haven't done some of your crafting leveling quests, some stuff isn't unlocked. For example, my first jewelcrafter (alliance side) sees the...

Got the boss to set the guild motd to that one.

Double post/my network took a shit

Lunar telescope is currently the best "use case" for a Moon Base. The Moon is basically a best-of combo for the advantages of a space telescope (no atmospheric distortion, no infrared/ultraviolet frequencies attenuation) with a ground telescope (build from parts, maintenability, upgrades, no...

A bit slow, and Holden is (again) worse than the book-Holden. But we have uber-Bobbie to compensate, that's ok. My nitpick is that, unless they shuffle the various storylines, we may end up with a disappointing end to S2. So my hope is that, while everyone is focused on Ganymede, Venus happens...

I have just reached the 51% mark on the Goodread's 2017 Reading Challenge. 38 books out of 75 originally planned, less than 4 months in the year. I just finished Ancient Ruins by Benjamin Medrano, which is yet another "dungeon keeper" type book (I'm really a sucker for those). Enjoyed it a bit...

Uh oh: 7.2.5 PTR Development Notes for Build 23910

Thought he was stuck in his regeneration coffin from injuries in the battle ("Odin's Sleep" from comics). At one point, he probably wakes up, sees "Odin" repairing and restoring Asgard, thinks "ok, maybe I can let him finish the job, gotta go" and goes straight to Earth to find stuff (where we...

One of the advantages that you have when you start with 5 books of a series already out is that your characters are already well fleshed, and the showrunners have plenty of materials to use. Of course, then you have shows that keep going without new material, and shows where the writers not...

He's also biting his nails and looking very very worried. As in "shit, told you it wasn't a good idea. Told you. But did you listen to me? Nope. And now bro is going to tell big green to slam me again"

Thankfully, the achieve is no longer needed. But apparently, you need to have done at least one to open up the follow-up Hall Campaign.

I could have agreed but

We can barely have 2 up at the same time, and that's going to be with people trying to get flying and turning supplies for rep. Not going to happen ever. I wouldn't be surprised if there's no building up for most of the week in a month or two. (most guild members are going to stop once they...

My guess? People didn't knew what "challenges" meant. They assumed it was some scenario for phat lewts, instead of the insanity of ilvl 920+/40pt/optimal legendaries challenges for one artefact appearance (that requires you to have finished the Power questline).

Yea. From now on, it's going to be Disruptor > Cathedral > keep 1000 supplies stored > Command Center for me.

Last two episodes are "The Monster and the Rocket" and "Caliban's War", and they have to wrap up the following lines: 1) The escaped Protomolecule™ soldier (fun bit: he's played by Elias Toufexis, aka "Kenzo the spy" from S1) : team Holden+Alex 2) Prax's daughter Mei rescue : team Naomi+Amos 3)...

The guy behind it isn't happy with the scene as it is and promises one MUCH BETTER in season 3. (book readers probably anticipate that one, since slingshotting sport was introduced in season 1) I for one would have loved the idea of Alex having his beard progressively grow as trash cans...

Couple of interesting hints from further books. Only 2 episodes remaining, which makes me think they're not going to wrap book 2 yet.

Yea. Althought it could be done over time, the pressure to get flying "right now" (which they refuse to formally acknowledge, since they dislike the idea of players flying around) is probably going to cause more frustrations, on top of existing frustrations. You can afford to frustrate the 1%er...

I expect those timers to rotate and the area invaded at a given hour to rotate as well. The emissary rotation seemed very random until they finally explained that they had the 7 possible emissary placed once per week, with the emissary for a given day of week rotating over 7 weeks. They probably...

Sure. Everybody I tried to watch Game Of Thrones legally in France, Here is what happened It's an unfortunate turn of events that pirated stuff is usually a better product than the legal. As in "don't have to suffer shitty unskippable ads and legal warning about illegal downloading on my...

It's a definitively a lot faster than the books. My guess is two-three months tops since the Canterbury incident to current time. That's a definitive departure from the book settings. In the show, they go straight from Eros crashing on Venus (end of book 1) to Ganymede incident (start of book...

Yea, I was going to say that this entire sequence was based on The Churn, the novella that deals with Amos' origins. That's where you see the seedy side of Earth.

No. Just no. This movie does not exists. Earth might be flat, but there never was an ID sequel.

You won't be laughing when Elon launches a Tesla to the moon on his demo Falcon Heavy, and it lands and get remote controlled there. (selling the right to remotely drive The Tesla On The Moon complete with dashcam view should be keeping Space X afloat until the founding of Mars One colony)

Region-wide; there's a different set of buildings for EU and NA. The random bonus for every building appear to be the same however; I wouldn't be surprised if there was a set rotation for the additional bonus.

Mage tower should be completed today on EU, I think. It's currently at 88%.

Fun bug: if you are a fresh 110, when you ding, you get told to go to Dalaran (to pick WQs). Then, when you enter Dalaran, you get prompted to go to The Council of Six because Khadgar has made an interesting discovery (the beacon from First Arcanist Thalysra, which opens up the Suramar access)...

I probably know ONE player around that doesn't have the steam client installed.

It's going to rewrite that as well. The current economics are like: it costs your 15M$ to build a satellite, and 60M$ to launch it. If it fails, you're in for 75M$. The SpaceX 2019 economics are like: it costs you 15M$ to build a satellite and 10M$ to launch it. You can afford ONE failed...

They already had low costs, but this will drive their costs down further. SES-10 already had a 30% discount. They also recovered the satellite fairing (the protection cap for the launch), which costs 6M$ on its own, so they're going to shave a couple additional millions soon if they can...

There's rares popping in the Shore, but I have no idea what they drop, if any. Killed one, it had a lot of ressources+shards+legionfall stuff, but that was all. Maybe there's a random rare stuff there.

The real issue is the stealth stuff. As in, "we know everything is going to be discovered anyway, but we wanted people not to worry". The insta-gib was a real problem, however. If you have a non-elite around, there's a bunch of classes that are going to kill them within 2s. That was to the...

Barrels of unfun, then?

Comment by a friend who quit mid 7.1.5: "Looks like I left just in time"

It was supposed to be a lot more complex in EQN. The way Ashes work is more basic: - Each zone has an XP bar and level - Everything you do gives XP (with bonus based on zone?) to the zone - The zone level determines what you have at the center of the zone (flat empty @ 0, small camp @ 1, large...
