The thrill of the hunt is real. I told myself I wasn't going to get either and yet I still continued hunting... Now I have an Xbox Series X

As has been pointed out this entire expansion is Planes of Power from EQ, and that culminated in us freeing Zebuxoruk who was a haggard prisoner in chains who needed to be there as his knowledge led to the end of the world or some sort of similar thing. Clearly there is more plotline in the...

Okay so I failed getting a PS5 and decided to go with an XSeX. It's still installing stuff but it is noticeably sharper and faster than the One X, also damn near silent. Avengers was the first game that finished downloading and damn... They really should have waited for PS5/XSeX. The game is...

Calling it now : Ve'Nari will be the big-bad for the next expansion pack. No way that bitch aint playing us all for fools.

People looking for 180+ for Torghast can fuck right off. Seriously what sort of neckbeard can even come close to that right now? You'd need crafted gear or something yes?

This is why their current marketing / branding strategy is an absolute fail. It should never occur to anyone that the new product is not actually a new product, but by blurring the lines with the Xbox One X name they have fuxored themselves. There are complete non-gamers who know instantly...

Note that they are now selling them as walk in buys at various WalMart stores. They were apparently for a simultaneous in-store drop to take place on the 8th, but some stores just put their inventory out yesterday. Lots of people on Twitter corroborating this showing off their shiny new...

In what world is the 35 Anima for once daily rando heroic an incentive? In fact most of these quests that given 35 Anima can fuck right off in light of the few that give 750

I thought it was funny that

Kinda cool that they are finally getting back to the Ethereal plotline. Ever since they first showed up in Burning Crusade I've thought they were worth exploring...especially since the primary 'leader' type characters never seem to acknowledge their presence.

https://variety.com/2020/film/news/warner-bros-hbo-max-theaters-dune-matrix-4-1234845342/ There we are. Everything same-day release.

From what I am seeing in one of the covenant campaigns I am guessing that we need to have an alt in each of the four in order to get a complete picture of what the fuck is going on from a narrative standpoint. I suspect they all dovetail back towards a singular common thread, but so far as of...

I half expect the disc version to be completely blank save for a very small license file.

One ran past me in Oribos and I went 'what the fuck was...oh right, they added fox people'. It's certainly an interesting look. I will say I never seem to see Goblins anymore.

For those that had an Xbox One X how much of a difference are you seeing between the One X and the Series X? Is it noticeable or is this gonna be a case of you trying to convince yourself that its nicer to justify the expense?

I've learned that some DPS are just bad and have absolutely no sense of self-preservation. Shocking right? Did another PUG for Soulforges 3 before the reset and one guy died 5 times on the first floor and then ragequit and the remaining four of us cleared the place. Choosing anima powers...

What the fuck happened to the silver and daily golden chests in Bastion? Also - ran a 5 dps level 3 upper reaches and it went really well, people used their broader class abilities for healing and such and it was a snap.

I think that is what made the flight whistle so popular. I have no issue with taking some time to get somewhere, my biggest issue is the 'back again' part of 'there and back again'. This is especially annoying in this expansion because it has the same sort of WQ remoteness that we did in the...

It actually influenced my decision to stick with my mage for main in the expansion owing to the transportation options that mages bring to the table. You would otherwise pretty much have to bind yourself to Oribos in order to facilitate transport to both Auction Houses as well as the different...

There is not. They did add some additional transport options for the 'home' plane of your covenant but nothing as universally handy as the flight whistle.

The cast-from-invis sniper ability is absolutely key for Arcane mages. That plus the Time Warp ability that makes time go by faster and you can AP/Invis/Snipe and then kite until it comes back with accelerated time. You can also stack the 'break jars to get bonus damage' ability and just...

Did not know you can get companions in Torghast, so that was a fun surprise for the adventure table. Also managed to get my first Legendary memory -- but its for Fire spec and I always place Arcane :(

It may be short lived, but I have a serious Torghast addiction problem right now.

It would be amusing if he takes Grogu to Tython and then the beacon is answered by Joruus C'baoth. Most people would go 'who the fuck is this Obi-Wan knock-off?' and Thrawn fans would shit a brick.

It's Lego Star Wars...it is truly aimed at a much younger audience.

... what??? Oh my god...

I'm actually enjoying Torghast quite a bit... It definitely has that Slay the Spire vibe but with a distinctly WoW flair. They clearly spent a lot of time thinking up cool anima powers and such for it...

Are we not talking about All in all I was quite impressed with the episode. Rosario Dawson had a number of the movement tics etc down pat. Obviously having Filoni direct made this much easier, but the half turn head cock at the very end was just perfect. Amusing seeing normies now...

Battle Pets should be at most a 'bonus' World Quest. Having the daily 'do 3 World Quests' but having one of the only 3 active be a pet battle is very aggravating. (Another one was flappy bird...which was irkingly hard to do)

Sanctum and Soulbind are definitely long-haul activities... but if you just want something to do for amusement and like the idea of a constant trickle of progress then its a decent sort of grind.

Burnham is such an insufferable character. Also why the hell did they refit the whole damn ship and not bother to get new uniforms.

The voice acting issue very noticeable. Its cool to hear a voice actor you recognize (Scott Menville AKA Teen Titans Robin as most gnomes and nearly all small cute quirky things), but it gets distracting when the same person voices several main characters. Yeah they have to use SAG/AFTRA but...

Did Glyphs just go bye-bye with this expansion?

Bastion was quite cool and I enjoyed it a lot. Maldraxus was okay and I just finished it at level 58 so I will clearly be 60 before I finish the other two. The story has been mercifully free of Genn Greymane and shoehorned-in faction leaders though I would have thought the Dranei would have...

https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/the-expanse-renewed-final-season-6-amazon-1234839079/ Book reader types -- is there any chance the overarching plot can be brought to some sort of conclusion by the end of season 6 based on what we know is covered by season 5?

Came *this* close to logging in since its T-day and I have the week off.... but it turns out I was so used to using Battle.Net to login that I don't remember my password and so can't toss any money at them since they do a secondary password check. Guess that's a sign that I shouldn't bother.

There is a lot riding on this next episode. It seems that it will be the point where it crosses most fully over with the animated Rebels/Clone Wars continuity and will serve as a potential bridge for the general public and those fans who refuse to watch 'a cartoon' into that world. Mando is...

It helps fuel the artificial demand and lets people think they have a chance even when they really don't. People can't say 'its not available anywhere!!' if you let them put it in their virtual shopping cart once a week or so.
