    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    I miss the game EQ less than I miss the social aspect of it. The group chat, the server drama, players having a rep they generally cared about because if you were shit in a game where grouping was a necessity then you were pretty much boned. After I quit EQ and went to FFXI I spent a good...

    Laptop Computers

    Looking to pick up a gaming laptop and this one seems decent for the price (Ryzen 9, RTX 4070). Asus TUF A15 FA507UI Any thoughts? I flipflopped around between a Macbook and this but I need something I can run MS365 on for Excel/Word for work as well as play some games like EQ and beyond...

    The Acolyte

    Oh, I was only talking movies. I suppose you could include all the live action series as well. Initial Mando was decent and Andor was solid but if they're the casualties for being able to avoid Boba, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and presumably Acolyte (although I haven't watched it) I'll accept that. I'm...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I’ve beaten every boss except Radahn, most on first attempt. That wasn’t my point. The DLC for me, for the most part, isn’t remotely as enjoyable as the base game and has almost zero replay value.

    Detectorists

    Loved this show. Saying something is sweet and charming and calming on here is probably going to generate zero interest but it’s like balm for the soul after you’ve had a bruising day and need reminding not everyone are a bunch of cunts.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I farmed the tentacle minion a few times and sold it for 10mil a pop. Just find an old zone with a rare sellable drop and camp it.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I’ve lost interest tbh. I like a game where I can level up and revisit challenges that previously handed me my ass. This is just unfun when everything scales. I have zero sense of achievement and just feel lucky when I beat something. Getting raped by those stupid chain-casting fucks in the last...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    He was good but, yeah, once he became a White Lantern stuff went a little off the rails. Especially the whole Volthoom storyline. Guy has probably had some of the most development and despite being an asshole at the start became a real fan favourite. Totally agree on Stewart, maybe I didn’t...

    I resubbed to D+ to watch S3 of the Bear but I still can't bring myself to watch this shit. Hats off to you for persevering.

    While a save button would defeat the purpose of ER I’d dearly love one in Enir-Ilim. Those fucking casters…

    What did I miss with Perlman? Did he say something bad about Donny?

    Oh, my bad then. I had it equipped the other day when I was took down Maliketh and was certain it was grayed out.

    I have them but haven't summoned yet. Don't believe you can use in old world content either.

    With the spear you get in the arena at 6+, flame resist, and mimic tear he’s pretty easy. Especially if you run to his left and target the open wound on his side.

    Yeah, captain chain spin attack. Makes me want to curl in a ball and weep like a little bitch.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I've yet to kill one. They fall in to the "I can probably kill you but can't be arsed to spend the time/pots to kill you" group of mobs. Similar to any Crucible Knight in the core game I can just run past rather than waste a pot or two to beat. Those eye mobs are the same. Yeah, I can parry...

    Not sure who I have left but I seem to have done it in a weird order. I crammed in a load of exploration at the weekend and unlocked everywhere I think. Struggled a bit with Scadutree Avatar then switched to BB and melted it. One-shotted the guy on the scorp but think that was down to me...

    I'm thinking it might be Messmer's spear.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    You can play NG+ in the DLC, yeah. Not sure what happens if you finish the main storyline while part way through the DLC, I expect you'd be locked out as you'd lose access to all zones, including Mohg's Palace. I had that question this morning funnily enough, needed some exp so killed...

    There's a nice bow with homing arrows. Bone Bow Think the damage is still fairly unremarkable though.

    Once I’ve completed the DLC I might go back and see the lowest level I can take down Horslow as. I wouldn’t try and toe to toe him, just sit up on the ledge and pew pew.

    Really struggled on Jori, must have died to that fucker about 20 times. Then saw Utnayan’s post about the Mimic not super charging his HP and killed him next try. Messmer handed me my ass half a dozen times and I could see I was nowhere close to having a decent strat. Went off on an exploration...

    Darklight Catacombs is not exactly what I’d call fun.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Assume Shaky is referring to this: If you're already on NG+ and have the Elden Beast sword you're better off just clearing the starting area in Mohg's repeatedly though. That's like £130k with the Gold Scarab and it takes significantly less time.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I respecced to STR/FTH from INT/FTH. Most of the stuff I was coming up against was resisting my spells fairly consistently and I was getting two-shotted by pretty much everything. Finding using a great shield is helping but even in full armour they're hitting like a truck, I am only like 6/6...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    The itemization seems to suck so far. Swords, shields, heavy armour, and crappy crafting mats. Zero for a caster yet but that may come. Exp seems off a little. I seem to be spending too much time running around with 500k runes and getting piddling amounts from kills. Find myself topping off my...

    I find using a decent shield removes a huge element of risk when wandering around new places for the first time. Pair it with a treespear and slap on a decent Ash.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Hardly had the opportunity to play this so far but managed a couple of hours yesterday. Probably went the entirely wrong direction but wandered in to the castle and fought the Dancing Lion. Interesting fight, died three times before beating it. I’d like to try it again and see if using...

    Not out till tomorrow I thought. Which is a good thing as it's my anniversary today and it really would be problematic if my loyalties were put to the test.

    Ancient Death Rancor pretty much trivialised all bosses for me. It staggers like crazy, it tracks, it sips FP, and it can be charged.
  35. Grizzlebeard

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    They boosted Prince of Death's Staff attribute scaling though so my Death Mage build should continue to melt stuff with Ancient Death Rancor. Real shame about the knockdown removal on Taker's Flames though. Survivability aside, it was fun knocking enemies down. Oh, they nerfed poise damage on...

    I just equip a fast blunt weapon and pop mimic. They take massive damage once they’ve been staggered and they stagger fast on blunt.
