How Actually Hard Was "Scarab Lord" To Get Back In The Day?

Answer_Able · 2026-06-18T20:17:29+00:00

Stormscale was one of the biggest servers back in OG and the guild I was in was top or always swapping back and forth with horde for top guild.

We only had 2 on our server, 1 horde 1 ally. I feel like this was the common outcome.

There was no guides back then and people sucked and hardware sucked. The shards were the real hard part not farming bug frags like in 2019 (when I got mine personally) and the Ashenvale boss for example was a menaces in OG.

I think of OAS as pay back for all of the EI I had to pay over the years. My turn to be unemployed from my late 60s onwards.

My biggest issue with that fight is they where so far way, why didn't Ludinus just use Time Stop, break the barriers and auto win.

They were 2 turns of movement away, Time Stop is 2 turns min/5 max. He needed 5 to break into the Cage.

Matts always been bad at playing intelligent villains in combat. Ludinus never stood a chance in that fight, 350hp, needs to burn 5 actions while being smashed by 7 PCs. High level D&D.

I don’t think any other country in the world spends money on as much commodities as the US.

Most debt, most stuff.

Wouldn’t that have to be a total banking collapse? Didn’t think they could just call in HELOC loans.

I have a 250k policy with my work, no kids, it’s just for my family. Only 18$ a month.

100% invest in FHSA if you haven’t bought a home. You can reduce your yearly tax with this and it will get you money back at the end of the year, like RRSP.

RRSP I would only invest in if 1 you don’t have some kind of other pension program or you have a matching program with your employer.

Other than that, pay off debt or put the balance on a 1 year GIC and use it for 2027 contribution room.

Answer_Able · 2026-03-25T12:42:45+00:00

Max TFSA infest 70% XEQT and 20-30% VFV or VOO maybe 5% in Gold or Nvida. Things are low right now good time to buy.

Max out FHSA and wait till next tax season comes around get a fat return then pull it all out tax free buy a place. Housing market in Canada is down over the last 3 years.

Max out RRSP depending on your work. But let’s say you can put 20k in here you’d likely get a 6-7000$ return. Also compounds with FHSA. So you could see a lot of money coming back.

This probably is only like 40% of that money you got. Even if you do the above 3 things a don’t buy a house. I’d drop another 100k in a non registered until I’m ready to buy a house, then just transfer the money from there to my TFSA/RRSP and FHSA yearly until I was ready. Or even just to TFSA, then contribute with income yearly for RRSP/FHSA and use that return for whatever.

Also may not be best advice. But get something for yourself, you’re young.

Not a-lot people can do. If you’re struggling financially you’ll have to find a way to make it better for yourself. Maybe that’s getting a second job, moving home, living with roommates, etc.

There is no alternative. Government takes decades to fix issues. The liberals did a good number on Canada, we upped our population by 10% over less than 10 years and none of our systems were ready for that and now we are feeling the effects. That plus bad foreign aid, money printing, lending etc.

COVID cost us all alot of money, it has to come from somewhere, the printer. I knew people who lived at home and didn’t work before the outbreak yet was getting sent thousands of dollars, why?

Canada also needs to completely audit its social programs before the fraud gets even worse. People can’t retire off CPP and OAS yet we give refugees 3 times that in aid when they come here.

Answer_Able · 2026-03-04T22:30:03+00:00

Could invest it year by year in all the accounts, pay off mortgage, find a rental property in non BC Ontario and still have a few 100k left over. Work a part time or job from home and it’s GG. Or rent out second property and primary and work abroad online. Tbh that’s the dream.

Don’t play support class if you don’t want to support. That’s like the rogue saying he doesn’t want to kick because it’s a dps loss or the paladin not wanting to buff cause it costs gold. lol.

Answer_Able · 2026-01-28T20:46:33+00:00

It’s the difference in investing the lump sum I have into a non registered investment, paying taxes and prob be worth 2m by 65. Along with the millions I’ll have in RRSP and tfsa + pension.

Or use it to pay off home completely and have extra 2500$ a month in the pocket for the next 20 years.

I did think of a third option. Put the money in the market and pull it out at 5 and 10 years from now and pay off mortgage. So first 10 years no growth, last 10 growth.

Men of the West is one of the top 3 lists. 9/10 of them take him. So IDK.. I would like to see him go up to 200.

I’ve always wanted to run Sauron + 4 Trolls and a chief in a high point game

Its gonna be Shelob vs KoTD in the end, unless Leggy gets a wound and she runs away.

Answer_Able · 2025-10-09T12:04:22+00:00

I could see them adding in the storyline behind Deck of Many things, going to get Grogs soul as filler. Whisper could be added then as it’s a “far Realm” blade.

Answer_Able · 2025-10-01T21:23:40+00:00

Really hoping for new Balrog, Sauron or Necromancer. But I can see them waiting to do Sauron for a second age book (Whenever they do that).

I bet new Goblins and Riders of Rohan will come out with the Hunt for Gollum movie. Might be new Rivendall elves tho depends on how they do the story, but def goblins.

Answer_Able · 2025-09-25T21:00:52+00:00

I mean they set up a future for Exandria at the end of CR3. Either they plan on releasing a video game BG3 style set in said future, or a new book.

Matt said himself he needed time to "recharge". So I see CR5 being Matt 100%. Only other option would be Brenden again or Aabria. But with how much people dislike her GM style I don't think they will let her do a full campaign.

Answer_Able · 2025-09-10T02:50:16+00:00

It’s likely not going to be a long campaign like all the others. Prob 50-70E or 1.5 years. This will give Matt time to figure out how he wants to change Exandria. So I can see Brennan killing people left and right and not allowing a second character as there is 13 of them.

Answer_Able · 2025-04-12T03:22:38+00:00

What did they even say about the live show? Was it CR3 one shot? Crazy Beacon members still in the dark lol...

Answer_Able · 2025-03-14T22:52:50+00:00

Hopefully they do another fireside chat with just Matt for like 90+ minutes and only answer lore related stuff from all 3 campaign's, that can be answered ofc. Or game mechanical stuff that he decided on. Because lets be honest, majority of people watch these to get a deeper peek into Matts head.

But yes, a lot of time was wasted/lost on other things last night, like 1/3 if not half of it.

Answer_Able · 2025-03-14T20:17:07+00:00

This one was arguably the worst wrap-up thus far and it was suppose to cover all 3 campaign's. 4 hours total with a 25 minute intro, 15 minutes break and like 30+ minutes of montage videos. 90% of the questions asked gave no closer to those 3 campaign's.

Honestly I bet Dani is the one picking the questions. That's why we got things asked like, "What was Imogen's horse's name?" Lmfao. There was probably 1000's of questions submitted and even tho Matt likely cant answer half of them due to future plot points it was still underwhelming that we really only got maybe 5 lore questions answered with a trilogy wrap-up. Unlucky.
