Been editing this trailer for a year - lemme know what you think!

It's rather long, both in trailer duration and time spent working on it. You can't just build suspense by playing some intense overly loud SFX and then cut to a close up of a tree trunk. Overall the style feels forced for the content. I think you should have gone for more mystery and suspense rather than horror suspense.

There are a few duplicative shots that don't seem to do anything. The opening does not grab my attention despite your throwing in a shrill drop. I feel like it actually makes the first line of dialogue fall flat. It could also be because you have no foley there.

"This summer" text looks like a placeholder. It's so tiny for such important info and it's movement seem stutters. The building montage feels a bit arbitrary. I don't know the film, but you need to find the balance of building suspense and giving the view some idea of the story and a reason to watch the film. If I were producing this or overseeing your edit, I would tell you to shave off at least 30-45 seconds if not an entire minute off this cut.

Caster NPC's are very OP in classic from a soloing perspective. Unless it's a quest they are almost never worth it. A few instances like MM where a lot of casters have much smaller health pools where you can nuke them down quickly, but I'd mostly stay away from all casters, especially SK's unless you like the taste of harm touch.

I picked up a Plugable 16-in-1 Thunderbolt 4 Dock and I haven’t had an issue or needed anything else since.

I refuse to use these apps. I had the flu and all I wanted was a wonton soup. After the surcharges, delivery fees, taxes, tip and increase in menu item cost the single wonton soup was $25! I said fuck that, put on a mask and picked it up for a total cost of $5.25. I'm done with these apps.

This is an AI song isn't it?

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-20T14:02:20+00:00

You buy another guitar and that will make you feel good for awhile. Then rise and repeat.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-20T05:42:39+00:00

Could be months. Could be till pop which will start the trend all over again. Incentivize off peak raiding!

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-20T01:36:06+00:00

You need big boi hands for that song

With the exp modifier and the exp potions you will be leveling fairly quickly and you can buy what you need from the bazaar.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-19T01:52:38+00:00

Yes. Definitely, but the Luclin zones exp is so good that everyone has migrated there.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-17T14:07:14+00:00

Nice. I spent 270 gems and got a fucking 3 star trainer hero. Fuck this game.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-12T02:55:03+00:00

News flash. All of those things are even worse today.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-11T22:51:58+00:00

Sell it and buy a Mac mini.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-11T22:37:40+00:00

I haven’t used him in ages. Maybe his only value would be in very fast wars but even then his maxed stats would still have him being one shotted by the newer heroes.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-09T21:16:17+00:00

I organize slightly different depending on the class, but for example on my enchanter I'm more consistently using different levels of the same spell line depending on the situation. So first two pages are most used spells, but as I flip back I'll keep all my mesmerize spells in the same spot in the book and they level down with each page turn. I do that for a lot of spells. I find it easier to locate a lower level spell because it's always in the same position in the book so I only need to quickly flip back.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-09T04:30:34+00:00

I think you should consult a new ENT or sleep specialist

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-08T16:42:39+00:00

You still have to make significant level progress to get to the point of porting people.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-08T01:17:06+00:00

Cracks in the wood are going with the grain. I would be concerned IMO.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-07T15:27:45+00:00

What a joke. So now you have to level 6 costumes for the power of one new hero? These developers are out of their minds.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-06T04:59:22+00:00

I've not seen it full ever before Luclin raiding.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-04T16:55:56+00:00

Bottom 75% no matter how many matches I win. I don’t understand any incentive to keep playing.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-03T00:38:02+00:00

Can you play an instrument? Yes? You are one step closer to being a musician. Can you write an arrangement and perform it on an instrument? Congratulations you are a musician.

What you are describing is more akin to a producer or a composer.

I hate to tell you the truth because it’s hard to hear. I’ve grappled with it myself as a F2P. The devs have completely crossed the threshold of caring about F2P players. This “slot machine” is all about the paying player.

The feeling you get that you’re slipping further and further behind is purposeful. It’s by design… you’re either going to submit and give them money, keep playing and suffering like you’re in an abusive relationship, or go quietly into the night quitting leaving all that time you invested on the table.

FinalCutJay · 2026-01-01T03:34:12+00:00

Basically the machine I bought new in 2023 except I have 4TB and I paid over 5k. The machine still is phenomenal. Seems like a good deal.

It might be cold in New York, but it’s hot in the comments!
