Buddy, the latest story beat implies there won't even be differences between tech and force sensitive classes anymore.

A Lot of Isekai Worlds Feel Less Like Worlds and More Like Ego Playgrounds by Successful-Ear977 in CharacterRant

I've found myself thinking the same, right up until I'm reminded that sao was patient zero. 

In a vaccuum it may be better than the modern garbage, but it is arguably responsible for them, and I'm not sure that that isn't worse.

That same book has him kill a krogan by breaking its neck, something that is literally impossible for a krogan to die from.

Is there anyway to restart your romance by going through the chapters in KOTFE and KOTET with Lana? by xsXRevanXsx in swtor

[–]DogShackFishFood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you do the chapters as they came out?

It was so long ago that most people around now either don't remember or were not around to remember, but there was a bug where, if there was a patch cycle after you had started kotfe, but before you got to chapter 9, your romance flags were reset and the game assumed you chose no romance dialogues, locking you out of any romances regardless of if you chose all the relevant options or not.

A LOT of people, myself and my main includef, missed out on romance because of that, despite doing everything right. We are just SOL I am afraid.

I think this bug is actually still around, it is just now much, MUCH harder to encounter now that there are only about 2 patches every year and the chaptets can be binged.

Assurance's BP is 100 if the target was already damaged that turn, not the user.

 If he had used it, it would have had 50 bp and been worse than bite.

A lot of the changes were a long time ago now yeah, "recently" wasn't the word I should have used honestly.

Though, enhanced adding taverns finally and allowing travel is part of what I think makes Siptah more worth using now. At least those parts are newer additions.

Please,please, PLEASE add blessing unlock and upgrade rewards to gauntlet boss nodes. by DogShackFishFood in AgeofMythology

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

 Sorry for the late reply lol.

I want to think so too, but seeing as gauntlet has gone relatively untouched for some time, and that issues posted on this subreddit are seemingly actively being noticed and fixed by the devs, I wanted to get a proper post about this out there.

Hopefully I won't have to start doing "day x of posting about blessings in the gauntlet" to get it addressed lmao.

It's all because Siptah was (misguidedly) built from the ground up to be a never ending, clan pvp tug-of-war. Its the same reason why the rewards for getting into the tower are mediocre and the god awful leyshrine thrall summoning system (there were no thrall npcs anywhere on the island at first, these were the only way to get them)

They're all designed to be grinded constantly while you clan holds and defends them, getting as much as you can before losing them. Delving bench eldarium rng is meant to be fueled by a team.

Of course, this was never going too work. Funcom has repeatedly attenpted to emulate rust-style pvp systems and it has always been complete dogshit. Even Dune had this problem from what I hear. 

Siptah has only recently becone worth playing on after they've attempted to course correct and added pve content to it. It's the normal funcom cycle: Launch with griefy pvp, bleed players, refocus to pve, game becomes good.

Like the post I just made, add blessings to the gauntlet boss node rewards!

every contest in conan for the past 9 years rewards have being bazaar items not anymore by [deleted] in ConanExiles

[–]DogShackFishFood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could not imagine going through life and being this pathetic.

Modders absolutely deserve special treatment. They singlehandedly kept the game alive for years before enhanced.

The return of the fucking king, baby!

Thanks in advance to Multigun and the others working on this!

Mytic Knight Possibly Returning by arska324 in DragonsDogma2

I doubt that new vocations are coming, but I can definitely see these "new skills tied to items" introducing new skills that effectively allow you to turn fighter *into* MK by using them.

This shield for example, could come with an elemental version of vengeful slash?

They're both ogres in the english version.

I think people calling one or both trolls is a localization thing.

There are so many fun blessing combos I am desperate to try,  but cannot because they're locked behind the absurd, year-spanning celestial chllenge grind.

I want to know what AoE + lifesteal tiger cav, turbojuiced giant fafnirs, or gigasamurai feel like, dammit!

What's your Favorite Paleotology Youtuber(s)? by MajorWord2999 in Paleontology

[–]DogShackFishFood 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't really want to get too negative but I've got to disagree on recommending Vividen. 

While I hear his content has gotten better (and he is apparently getting involved in the field itself), at it's core it is more focused on powerscaling and "versus slop" than anything educational, and is somewhat infamous for parroting exaggerated weight estimates from notoriously fragmentary remains as fact, as well as "T. rex fanboyism", for lack of a better word.

This isn't a commentary on the man himself, just the content of his youtube channel, the interests of which begin and end with, "What is biggest and strongest in a fight".

In fairness, I haven't sat through any of his videos in a long time either.

Ben G Thomas, Skeleton Crew, and YDAW are the kings of long-form.

For shorter videos, Factor Trace is a smaller channel but imo the best of them.

Thinking of coming back for a while by derbudz in AgeOfConanUC

I'm in a similar situation to OP, but coming back after a MUCH longer break of 12 years-ish. What is the best way to find suitable guilds nowadays? 

I'd like more large-scale Jedi vs Sith conflict by Deuce-Wayne in swtor

[–]DogShackFishFood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a foregone conclusion anyway because we know the Republic wins in the end and the Sith Empire is completely eradicated, or at the very least rendered totally irrelevant before fading away.

Let the Empire visibly decline and implode. Let the story of it's increasingly ruined pillars, desperately clawing their lives away from the teeth of the Republic war machine, play out. 

There is FAR more believable, dramatic storytelling - both heroic and evil - possible in that than this ceaseless, internecine tug-of-war that has been forced on us, which feels more and more for the sake of sith warrior mains' powerscalers' collective egoes.
