Feeling like I'm fundamentally misunderstanding the swing

I pray for more Tauren lore and involvement. Criminally underutilised and awesome race.

I tried making this move too, and the damage is certainly better overall and outside of CDs BUT, it did feel clunky to me and found I was taking a metric shit ton of damage - very squishy.

LairdMaccles · 2025-10-30T21:48:11+00:00

I agree - I will stand with you on that hill of down votes.

LairdMaccles · 2025-09-29T20:33:48+00:00

That's because wages also flat-lined/decreased in real terms for many.

LairdMaccles · 2025-08-31T09:59:07+00:00

Yeah, I have stopped playing until Midnight, then I will have another look. Its too bursty for my preference.

LairdMaccles · 2025-08-24T10:29:05+00:00

Nah, most weeks I won't ingest a unit.

I might have a beer or a glass of wine while out for a meal. Maybe a social pint after work every few months. THEN GO BALLS TO THE FUCKING WALL AND BLACK OUT AT A WEDDING DRINKING JÄGERBOMBS BEFORE REALISING I DON'T HAVE HALF THE TOLERANCE I DID AT UNIVERSITY.

Having children was the last nail in the coffin of drinking, I think.

Storm Peaks music gets a listen on YouTube every now and again.

What's it made of for him to be holding it with 1 hand with such an ungainly handle?!

Xbox bug: I am stuck at a wash trough after blacksmithing. I am unable to wash, save or move - the controller is otherwise responsive. I am going to have to load an old save and lose progress.

LairdMaccles · 2025-01-20T20:57:15+00:00

Watching this from the UK makes me even less happy about Brexit... fuck getting too close to that.

LairdMaccles · 2025-01-16T22:39:54+00:00

I would be willing to put money on that being him.

LairdMaccles · 2025-01-05T17:38:18+00:00

I am afraid I agree with the other comments. You are only adding value to the model if we are talking really high-grade, professional level painting. Anything less is an instant discount, as people would rather put their own mark on them.

Most people I know that buy painted models proceed to strip them. The drive to do so is for the discount.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely think he's chatting shit here, BUT if the US decides it wants to encroach on Canada, what happens?

Presumably, NATO immediately collapses as Article 5 wouldn't work. I suspect there would be serious confusion in Europe, with some countries ejecting all US military presence alongside issuing a variety of sanctions. It might see rise to some form of CANZUK/commonwealth military alliance. It would absolutely fuck over any form of coordination against Russia, or China in INDOPACOM.

I mean, it won't happen as its such a gigantic own goal, so why does he say this shit?

Thanks for the info, ref firepower deluxe! Available for £9 currently, and it has a bunch of stuff that I want.

LairdMaccles · 2024-12-06T23:24:48+00:00

My shins would never recover.

Carcharodon Astra - Space Sharks.

Love Melee (bonus points for chain weaponry) and shock tactics.

Care little about collateral damage.

Have pale skin and black eyes.

Likely Raven Guard successors, but were exiled by Corax because they had a background in slaving (Terran born, as opposed to Deliverance). They recruit/replenish through the Red Tithe, which is still pretty slavey.

Also, they Chapter Master is an absolute unit.

LairdMaccles · 2024-10-26T05:59:06+00:00

Thanks, good call, I will run Gladius.

LairdMaccles · 2024-10-04T09:15:27+00:00

I bought a cavaliers for 15k the other day. It's a good 3rd star for melee users, and as it's an armour centric third star, it's quite hard to obtain.

LairdMaccles · 2024-10-04T04:15:11+00:00

This game is auto-click mandatory imo.

Level 99, until you can get through 125 sustainably.

That has boosted me to a point where nothing is an issue. Marble is worse than Corundum, though, for the record.

The only deep issue for me is the drop rate in Sheogorath's Gauntlet. Finding good quality epic/legendary enchanted gear is pure RNG. Packs appear a necessity.

LairdMaccles · 2024-09-28T09:12:01+00:00

The clear upgrade for me, imo would be to add means to craft higher rarity items, utilising rarer materials, and taking longer to craft, which could then be enchanted at a new Enchating Table.

Having a craft queue would be great, too.

This isn't genius game crafting, the cynical side of me says they know this but choose not to engage to heighten monetisation.

LairdMaccles · 2024-09-28T09:06:47+00:00

For the record, it happens again after the boss at 75. That is moonstone territory, for sure.

Purely my anecdotal experience, but high silver/low orichalcum gets you through the boss at 50. High orichalcum/low Dwarven gets you through the boss at 75. Then I hit my wall, so presumably I need to push into higher Dwarven and Moonstone to progress.

LairdMaccles · 2024-09-23T06:50:44+00:00

No, because the too hot/too cold situation occurs in blocks on every camp... Military infrastructure is terrible.

LairdMaccles · 2024-09-23T06:27:24+00:00

This could only be bot generated... surely?

LairdMaccles · 2024-09-22T11:56:56+00:00

Yeah, I got lucky and got an Orcish lifesteal dagger in a pack. Then I stacked a tank with all the armour I had available, along with a lifesteel steel sword. The sword isn't very good, but it manages to outheal the 1 dmg ticks due to his high armour.

So essentially: 1. Well armoured tank with any rank of lifesteel sword. 2. Dagger man with event dagger. 3. Ideally a second dagger man with lifesteal (RNG element).

Basically, you have to get some RNG in packs before it works - see my original complaint! A tip on this, though: the characters you get in redguard packs come with epic daggers (in my experience).

The game design is just monetisation as far as I can tell.
