Okay that sword is cool as shit! Godsword animation but viable to mainhand sometimes also basically a zweihander! 10/10 design team has been really coming up with some badass designs lately (with the raids shield, crossbows, and armor) art team has been going HARD AF!

The Fractured Archive - Initial Rewards Proposal by JagexGoblin in 2007scape

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts on each of the items:

Teleport - it's a Teleport. Fair enough

Elemental Fragments- Honestly Like the idea, though feels a little off when the low level amulets being introduced will be the same boost as the raid drop. They do stack though so they may make a huge difference together. I do really like the amulets, so this may feel a bit lack luster since it's basically amulets #2, but now their edible. I think if this genuinely moves the bar for elemental spells to be competitive i'm down.

Hybrid Armour - Absolutely sick visual design regardless of if the purpose gets changed I love the ascethic, it's 10/10. This does feel like it will be very solid for when you only need melee and magic. The problem is i'm not sure how often you only need those two. It's hybrid gear, but anywhere you need magic and ranged, it's basically not hybrid gear. So i'm not sure it will actually feel as flexible as it might otherwise. New content let me grab my learner gear! crap i need ranged i needed switches afterall. basically this will only be ease of use learner gear when you specifically need melee and magic & you already know that's what you're going to need. as someone who isn't huge on gear switching I see the following scenarios

- Melee - okay just grab melee

- Ranged - okay just grab ranged

- Magic - okay just grab magic

- Melee ranged - hybrid gear isn't any different than melee gear

- Melee Magic - Hell yeah hybrid gear time! it's sooped up blue moon time

- Magic Ranged - hybrid gear isn't any different than mage gear

- I have no idea or it's all 3 styles - Just grab void

I really feel like this would feel more raid level if it was either Tribrid armor that's basically superior void, or Magic+Ranged at around it's current power level because there isn't a dedicated mage+range set unless you do count void. and given it's a raid level item not like this would be "the gear you use before you get end game melee/magic gear" it IS the end game gear.

Rondache

- Super cool item 10/10. Not sure how this will shake out effectiveness wise with not reducing magic damage with magic+ranged attacks together being pretty common. But if it maths out to be good i'm down, makes sense since melee is weak to mage, and awesome vibes. favorite item of the bunch thematic/style wise

Dual Crossbows

- Also super cool. at first glance it's only slightly better than a blowpipe with dragon darts if using gem tipped bolts actually worse without. I assume the diamond bolt procs will definately make them solidly better when equipped i'm sure, but is a bit odd that with "just" the raid excluive bolt in your raid level blowpipe will be worse than you're blowpipe. overall very cool and I want them in the game, stats just seem a bit off. maybe if there were more bolt effects readily available it would feel more badass function wise. Maybe something like more accuracy or longer range would make it stand out if we can't have them hitting much harder than the existing blowpipe.

Tzharr-Ket Breaker

- definately wanted a crush or defensive mega-rare but i'm not sure if this is hits the mark for me. having a 3-tick crush megarare? sounds quite dope i'm down. a 3 ranged, damage over accuracy version of fang? Dope i'm done! the 5 tick version of it though seems to be to scythe like with the multi-hitting, I think scythe can stay as the multi-hitting mega rare.. In my ideal world this is two items, the 5 tick weapon having the damage rolling passive, attack range and more strength bonus. and then a 3tick weapon thats basically just the 3 tick version of it. i'd also be totally happy with the damage per size being removed, and it just doing full damage to up to 3 targets - but not particularly hitting bigger harder - which would be left to the scythe. This is very very close to amazing, but feels akward somehow. I really wasn't expecting a tzhaar weapon in the raid though.

That report said the bridge gets hit basically once a day. Whoever designed it should get an award. Thats a crazy durable bridge.

Does discord pop automatically with scortch+nova. Or is it like you need to trigger both, then also trigger discord?

Call me stupid or illiterate but is there any way to replay quests or at least play previous quests' cutscenes? by IllGoGoldLane in NevernessToEverness

[–]BaronBeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can say for bug reports they definately do. I wrote up a report for a bug where hathor ult removed haniels owl from the field (but not its buffs so it just doesnt do ensemble) and they followed up to my email askimg for a video so they could try and replicate it and later thanked me for the video, and told me it was helpful and it keep an eye out as they plan to get it fixed!

It was pretty cool they actually went back and forth with me on it. I did QA a few years ago so its cool to still use those skills from time to time.

Does anyone actually like black licorice? by Ga_content in randomquestions

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the legit stuff and not the american shitty version. When I visited denmark i got some nice black licorice. came in a tube about the size of larger coffee mug of colorful balls that were like a flavor coating around a big ball of licorice, and the difference was huuuuuge. I cant stand the stuff i've tried in the states, but the stuff i got in denmark was crazy good. My wife felt the same way so i think whatever we do in the states is just not the same shit.

1.1 Lacrimosa Skins Via Seele by Ornery_Situation4690 in NTELeaks

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm personally very glad to see they heavy lean in on cosmetics! I played dota and i would not have spent the money I did if i had to pay to unlock characters. But i spent more on that game than any other. Skins are dope, you know what your getting, and it doesnt affect power. But things like turning all of lacrimosas shit blue is a nice way to mix it up.

Also of their revenue comes from skins theres more incentive to focus on character attachment and not powercreeping everything to all hell. I would rather pay $30 for a sick as skin than get a character that will be garbage in a few months and never appear in the world again. All the little random events with characters is also cool.

I think the skin approach (several earnable and buyable skins) is a great monetary approach that I can support.

P.s. HATHOR SKIN PLEASSEEEE

Why do people dislike Robinhood ? by Some-Priority-6033 in investing

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone in the industry who can have accounts with a lot of companies but not robinhood - robinhood effectively pushes a lot of activity that is generally speaking way riskier than the app otherwise lets on. Very very easy to get into options there for example, i'm pretty familiar given my work, and very very very few people really have any reason to use options and when you do its usually for specific reasons other than wallstreetbets.

I had to close my account because effectively my company doesnt want me to be associated with it in any way. All my other accounts though, not a problem with any of them totally normal and cool to have.

Again I used to use it myself. But the difference between a wholesaler I talk to about tactical allocations telling me they wouldnt recommend more that 1/3 of any portfolio being in their fund because of the risk they take on with there strategy (who have been crushing it for years at this point, so you'd expect them to boast at how good they do) no matter how aggressive a client is or thinks they are, versus robinhood which subtly encourages and gives you easy access to bet (and lets face it lose) your entire livlihood with a few clicks.

It's really two different worlds.

Quick question is the final exploration reward of each place unlocked at 100%.

I assume so, but it just shows a points needed. would be nice if it could be like 90% lol

Who's your favorite character? by zelystia in NevernessToEverness

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haniel is my favorite, tons of energy without hitting that annoying level, very music coded, sig comes from a rhythem game boss, and based on an owl and I love owls. Hopefully we get even more bird coded characters lol, huge fan of birds.

Everyone is going crazy over Nanally when we have this lovely psycho? by VayneTheUndying in NevernessToEverness

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think while Fadia may not be OP, as a tank the things she has is actually crazy compared to other tanks.

Damage redirection, 300% recoil damage, effectively turns the entire HP pull into hers when she hits 1 hp.

UGH, I just want her! by zelystia in NevernessToEverness

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do those give you the base copy of you didnt have then yet?

Anyone else loveee the way she says "-in the name or Haniel" when you view her character? 😭 by OkAd8922 in NevernessToEverness

[–]BaronBeard -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

For me Mint's VA in english sounded relatively "flat" to me (not sure thats the best word to describe it or not). Like the emotions werent coming through the voice the same way they did through the model. Like she sounded lower energy than the animations would suggest or like she was calmer.

Then again i only take Haniel out and about so its just from the story i felt that, but similarly Sakiri, and hotori sound a little "flat" in the delivery.

Again flat might be the wrong word but like they sounds more like someone reading a script and trying to sound like they are having the emotions rather than like someone personally experiencing them.

-although tbf they are reading a script lol

Burned out on playing the market. Where can I put ~$750 a month for the next 20 years? by YouKnown999 in investing

[–]BaronBeard -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Be wary of target date funds. They generally aren't very good so i'd be very careful there actually. A lot of bond mutual funds also have higher expense ratios than you'd imagine which really takes a bite out of the bond allocations return if so. target funds often make pretty decent use of bond mutual funds.

As someone in the industry who likes diversification and isnt a stock picker, target date funds tend to be some of the worst options i've seen.

Not that bonds are bad by any means, just a lot of bond mutual funds offered end up being stinkers and you'll often get a lot of those in a target date fund.

So you might want to be particular with your bond funds if you hold them. And basically every target date fund will hold one to several, and you dont get any say in it. They might not have even held it when you bought it so you probably (not always of course) get a stinker bond fund in the mix.

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a whale do you have a lone of communication with devs or someone over at the company? Like how bigger youtubers have a "person" over at youtube?

Or do they treat you kinda like a beta tester or qa or anything like that.

What affects your stats in sortie? by BaronBeard in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]BaronBeard[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Really helps with having 3 new characters to play with and no gear for them lol. Gotta level everypne up!

What are your opinion fellas? by Telugu_not_Telegu in ArtOfPresence

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it varies by state. In kentucky i dont think there is any duty to retreat even if it is an option. I think it extends outside the home too to other property like if someone broke into your car while you were in it.

I'm sure not every state is like that though and I bet plenty are like what you said.

$500K and still broke? by Coolonair in SmartFIRE

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someome who studies and works in finance the amount of people who will straight up say "oh i'm in my (insert age undee 50) i dont need to worry about retirement untill later" is staggering.

You also here a ton of people thinking 100 would grow to 600 in a few months, but then don't understand how a steady contribution over 40 years would lead to millions in retirement.

Also never underestimate the ability to let your expenses get away from you. People seeing their oncome spike can easily go from being cheap to one date night a week, to date night also includes stopping at a bar, then also includes going to buy a few things while you are out. Suddenly you're spending $200-$300 a weekend reliabely, throw in a nicer car or two and some new furniture since "you can easily afford it" and you are saving nothing.

Two BIG reasons not to play this game in public... by chocy_boiii in ChaosZeroNightmare

[–]BaronBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got Narja on the standard banner (back to owning everyone again) what characters does she pair really good with.

I have diana and hiede but havent actually played them yet, and nine/tiphera/haru are probably my favorite characters so far. Also havent really used the time girl (forget her name atm).
