    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    Carolina played a depleted Ottawa team that couldn't score & a Philly team that overachieved to get to the second round. They played us tonight in the same hyper aggressive style that they used for those first two rounds but as I said earlier in this thread, when you face a team that is able to...

    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    This answers the rust vs rest debate. Its a 7 game series and the Habs have been better on the road, so glad we showed up tonight and hopefully put some doubt in Carolina.

    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    This is the correct take. Montreal certainly got outplayed in the game overall but the early whistle was a lot less egregious than no penalty on Dobes getting run over which resulted in a goal 10 seconds later instead of Montreal being on the PP. Lets not even talk about the extension bounce...

    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    We did not deserve to win this but we did. F1 and ECF next week is going to make the city insane. Buffalo is a promising team and they are for real. The East is going to be a death conference for years to come.

    Dungeon Crawler Carl

    Just finished it today and I am sincerely impressed. I figured that this book would be more filler/setup after Faction Wars and it was the opposite; it did a fantastic job of advancing the plot and had so many awesome moments. I wouldn't say it was the best but it's certainly up there.

    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    While I agree with your premise, it's not quite apples to apples here. The Panthers are a team built for the playoffs and they adjust quite a bit when the time comes but that style of play isn't possible during an 82 game regular season. Carolina isn't built the same way and that's why they've...

    Hearing the olé olé olé chant in Buffalo is hilarious. Caufield finally gonna get a Saturday playoff game.

    At the game tonight and I may actually go deaf. Habs are in complete control and the Bell Center has not been this loud since our last Cup run.

    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    Our top line is not producing but they are generating chances. We are not winning the cup this year so I view it as a learning opportunity; playoff hockey is a different beast and they need to learn how to produce and this experience will make them better in the long run. We are also the...

    NHL 2025-2026: Canada's Quest to Defeat Bettman and Claim the Cup

    Was at game 6 and felt like we deserved to win it but thought we were done with this going to 7. Hockey God's were with us tonight; first line needs to be better against Buffalo.

    Crimson Desert

    I am having fun and taking it slow (just got to Chapter 3). There are a lot of bugs though, I've had to reset twice with the MSQ just bugging out, thankfully the auto save points are not far back. Was expecting the first boss to be a lot more challenging based on what people said but he was a...

    I had missed the release completely and picked it up a few days ago and finished it today thanks to the thread bump getting my attention (thanks for that!). My thoughts with some spoilers:

    Aion 2

    Let's not go that far, I just got 2.4k gearscore on my Templar and my Chanter box is getting up there at 1.6k. I offer very competitive pricing too and you don't even need to deal with the AI translation bot that is clearly capturing everything you say.

    Aion 2

    If you played Aion 1, you likely have some fond memories of PVPing in the Abyss. There was a decent RVR balance and Sieges (while super laggy for me at the time) were still pretty awesome from a scale perspective with some interesting tactics available for certain keeps. Here is an example...

    Aion 2

    Thanks for answering. As a summary, you're less than 10 hours into the game from a playtime perspective having done absolutely nothing from a progression standpoint that would allow you to have an informed opinion on the combat and how it feels in the setting that encompasses 99% of your MMO...

    Let's take a different approach. We are a week in. What level are you?

    Aion 2

    This is just incorrect. Aion 1 was a traditional MMO that was PVP focused, this is a mobile MMO that is focused on monetization. Auto run to point, auto potions, auto scrolls, a clearly mobile UI (hi2u terrible map navigation) make this quite obvious. Encounters are also designed to be played...

    Aion 2

    I played this to max level in spite of a lot of connection challenges. It is pretty terrible. There is significant P2W, it is designed with mobile in mind with a lot of auto run to objectives, reduced combat abilities to make it mobile friendly, and the dungeons/encounters are simply not...

    Where Winds Meet

    I mean, the shop is out and the business model is clear: they weren't lying, there is no P2W at all but a million outfits to spend cash on. The game has an enormous amount of content and they are time gating progression to allow you to focus on doing what you want but still making it to max at...

    Where Winds Meet

    There's a difference between Korean MMOs (which are significantly P2W by & large) and Chinese games (such as this one). An example of this would be Marvel Rivals (which will have the same publisher as this): they make their money off skins, cosmetics, etc but there's nothing to increase your...

    Fellowship

    I figured you would enjoy this a bit and your time spent to rating is impressive. They've certainly gotten more of a player base then I would have expected based on their twitch/steam numbers but I am curious what the cost for this was and whether it's actually profitable as the studio has a...

    Fellowship

    It doesn't compare. This is 100% a WoW Mythic+ clone rather than anything like Lost Ark. The boss encounters are structured to be incredibly easy to complete as you can ignore almost all the mechanics at first but the further you progress the more you actually need to do the mechanics and...

    Lost Ark Online

    You haven't played in a long time and your knowledge of the class mechanics and changes is far too outdated. While the fight is incredibly challenging and Arti's do need to predict quite a bit, you have shit like 90% damage reduction while in your turret, so while other classes need to stay on...

    Chrono Odyssey

    After about 10 hours: Game is clunky, frustrating, and not really fun. While there's enough foundation here for something okay I don't see how it's possible to deliver anything other than crap in 2025, which is when they're expecting to launch.

    Lost Ark Online

    This really depends on your goals and what you mean by getting back into. The game is not friendly for returning players as you're tossed a lot of systems and progressing systems that have since been added to the game. The result of this is that people often feel overwhelmed and since most...
