I only watched season 1 of Mando and haven't watched any of the other SW streaming shows so feel free to tell me I'm wrong here. The impression I get from reading these threads, and also with the post IW Marvel offerings, is that they lack any kind of consequence to the larger universe. There's...

I don't give a shit that she's an actor and hasn't heard of the source material. I care that she graduated from a supposed "S tier" US university and, as zzeris said, has no clue about a foundational document for western civilization. Why is that? If your upbringing didn't adequately prepare you...

One of the issues I've noticed with heartbreaker, memento, and other stacking builds is there's a weird balance to difficulty levels. Challenging or lower and you often just don't get enough bad guys to really roll the stacks, but heroic or legendary it's more risky trying to grab backpack...

I don't know what the long term roadmap is, but protos are not really any different than other systems that have been put in place over the course of the game. Initially gear was all rng and you had to farm. Then once the no-lifers got full god roll sets they opened it up to optimization. Same...

I'm just curious how many upgrades I dismantled during my ronin farm. Barely enough time to even dismantle all much less actually look at what was dropping. Probably not any when I think about it as it was on normal.

I would say it's pretty friendly to get back into either from a long absence or completely fresh. With targeted loot you can get completely functional builds on the easiest settings which don't even require any cohesive gear to be successful. That gear will be marginal stats but the set bonuses...

I love the pestilence but I realize I don't know how it actually works in conjunction with other stuff. Is the dot the amount that direct hits from the pesti land for? So with overdogs I target a red first I'll get a 30% bigger dot? And what happens when it transfers after kill? Are all the...

If it really is fixed I wonder if they'll tweak the intended drop rate. The community blew past the first reward faster than anticipated but my guess is donations grind to a halt. The players most likely to donate because they already had god rolled named were the ones hammering the spawn bug...

That's a tough one. Sure, for the people running around with the sole intent of farming Kits a fast cooldown would be nice but there are people trying to do other things open world. It's easy to say "they should want kit spawns anyway even if they don't think they do" but think how annoying it...

Maybe I've just been lucky on key drops but I think the drop chance is per individual kill, not the group. I've gotten at least two keys per spawn at least twice now which is why I think this is the case. So a normal 10 minute spawn gives you 5-6 chances at a key which should be around a 25%...

The old me would hope any "retcon" isn't really changing the story and just showing something from an angle we didn't see in Endgame. Perhaps lost in the background of that final fight was some X-Men or F4 or someone. They were there but we didn't see them in Endgame. The story and result were...

I don't know if it's real or not but it "feels" like the various reward caches give stat rolls at least on par with challenging. I guess it makes sense since the caches themselves aren't tagged with difficulty tier. Following the quantity over quality idea you could speed run cache rewarding...

When I say I made a bulwark build what I really meant is I put on a crappy IA mask and holster. Never bothered to mod anything or look for better drops. I only played it for one mission to check it out. In hind sight I probably should have at least tried to put some skill cores on to boost the...

Yeah, I got the Tempest blueprint on one of my first retaliations and promptly made a bulwark pistol build to lol face tank shit. Of course I suck at paying attention to getting flanked while laughing and get killed anyway.

It almost feels bad coming back after a long time off. I worked my ass off for some rare items and exotics back in the day and they drop like candy now. An hour or two of priority missions and you get as many exotics as you used to get in a week of farming.

This is what I've been running a lot lately too except I'm using UA mask that I got god rolled. I'm not even sure Capacitor is that much less in real terms. The stat sheet does a weird thing where it doesn't immediately apply the skill tiers to the damage unless you flip to the stats page and...

While I don't have it personally, there are quite a few people with the quickstep manhunt still in their log. You can farm the robo dogs without killing the main target and get the Quickstep and other xmas drops pretty quickly.

End game is tough to answer in LOTRO. Currently there's one raid and 3 instances at max level. They each have 3 difficulty tiers. There's also 4 landscape raid targets that are essentially zerg fests since there's no cap on how many players can engage. That would be end game in the traditional...

The Harad instances are alright. They feel a bit long currently but that will get better as people gear up and learn the strats. I'm not a fan of moving the harad dailies to quest boards rather than auto bestowed. Sure it sucked the first cycle figuring out where to go, but now that they're...

That's kind of been the challenge the whole life of this game. The "plot" and main gameplay intends for you to explore the galaxy, make your way to the core, and keep finding new places. Then they put in decent base building, farming/mining/production loops, and surface based gameplay like this...

It's been a long time but I recall having success with melee mounted using the /follow command. Matches speed and usually turns fast enough to keep within skill range. Might be worth trying.

I seem to remember at the end of S1 when Monty died they said MTex was wholly owned by Monty/Demi. They just made a new board on the spot in the hospital of Demi, BBT, and the lawyer. There are individuals/companies/banks that have contracts with MTex but I'm pretty sure BBT and Demi told them...

My guess is Andy Garcia will hire/force Demi to rehire BBT and everything will be essentially the same but with more animosity between BBT and Demi.

I'm willing to cut Sheridan some slack on his average SEC couples trope because the alternative is he cast's 6's instead of 9s and 10s. Either that or all his lost puppy dog characters are Chads and that would be just a bad the other way.

I actually lol'd when the mom said his pheromones are repulsive to her because nature doesn't want incest and 6 fingered kids.

Well all your complaints got answered. We got the baby, explanations about his care, why the girl works after the settlement, and what the fuck is going on with those two. Grats I guess. Kind of jarring seeing the asshole side of Sam but also probably necessary since there had to be a reason...

You're both right. There are a lot of, I'll call them "extras" you can buy for TW:WH I II & III but they're not really DLC's. All of those races and lords show up in campaigns whether you buy them or not. Chaos Marines could very well be in at release just not as a playable race yet. Steam tells...

Speaking of Immortal Empires, it's free now for I and II owners with the obvious restrictions that you can only play factions you own.

Basically Sheridan is Nicholson's character from As Good as It Gets. He writes women as men without reason and accountability. It's unusual in today's media which is maybe why the characters are a bit jarring. Anyone who's worked in a coed professional environment has seen some form of Demi's...

It's kind of refreshing that the show jumps straight from plot point to plot point without slogging through the football season but there's a lot to tie up still. Georgia game, playoffs/heisman/football future, wife affair, Ricky, heart attack, roommate. It's almost too much that I suspect Russ...

No, you need to put in the code, which means you need to install the game.

It's basically everything except the current level 140-150 quest/raid zones. There's also a sale for two of the not included zones (1 quest and 1 raid) for 99lp each so you can get almost everything super cheap. Not included are Brawler and Mariner classes or other things that came with buying...

Launcher also says transfer off the now closed 32-bit servers is back again. Good for those drawn back by the free content coupon but missed the prior transfer window. Looks like they're also offering free 64to64 transfers to the third/newest servers in each region.

Two episodes in and it's basically Temu Gangs of New York set in Dublin and with homosexuality. The sad thing is it's not the worst thing I've watched this year so I'll probably finish it. The fenian chick is good looking so hopefully the nudity warning on every episode but has yet to actually...

Yeah, LOTRO is kind of an anomaly for MMOs. It's an 18 year old game still driven by the journey, the story, and the world. It doesn't need new mechanics or game systems at its age. A bunch of (hopefully) interesting quest lines and locations along with a modest power increase to ease you out of...

I would argue we're getting closer and closer to "low cap fishing vessel" type space already. Bezos sent Katy Perry and his wife up and it doesn't get much more adolescent and retarded than that. With a mostly proven AI "mother" running things and at least one synth/cyborg to provide local...

I think all the hybrids must have wifi. The security guy told Slightly and Smee they watched their eye feed and it was a surprise which wouldn't be if they had to physically download that once they returned. Curly and one of the other kids were present for the vivisection and didn't appear to...

I think it's supposed to be a couple decades before Alien 1, potentially after the ship left earth though so they would have no knowledge of what happens in this show. It actually has the potential to clear things up for 1 & 2 as to why/how Ash and Bishop had prime directives to preserve the...

They never gave a real clear shot of the surgical suite but it appeared they were doing normal life saving surgery on the brother, removed a collapsed lung, hooked up the removed lung to life support, and then put the alien tadpole in with the lung. I guess this allows them to keep the actor...

I'm curious what the deal with the medic is. Nothing about the story thus far shows any real value for individual lives. Other than being Wendy's brother he's completely expendable. Why extract a lung instead of just letting the Allen impregnate him normally. I suppose he's leverage over Wendy...
