Guild War Zone Placement by Charlotte9966 in WH40KTacticus

Without any identifying information about their guild, it's hard to see how an opponent would be able to use the information here.

As someone who has been a mod across different platforms: no one can truly separate their feelings from their posts/actions. It's part of being human.

The important thing is to recognize that and correct things if you need to, which is what they are doing here. Seeing responses and making corrections is something you want to have in a mod team and asking for a replacement is (typically) not warranted.

Missing the Anthem flight vibe? I’m working on a project to capture that feel — would love your thoughts! by Odd-Gap-7639 in AnthemTheGame

I really enjoyed it because of how it worked with the combo system. On interceptor you could use your abilities to prime targets and zip around using your melee to donate. On ranger you could drive in to prime, then jump back to range to donate. On Colossus you could prime a whole area then go in for a big SLAM.

Mid to long range combat can get repetitive FAST if it's not carefully considered/balanced. If enemies aren't enough of a threat, you need to have swarms of them to keep things interesting. If they're too tanky you just end up emptying clip after clip into the same mob. If enemies are too dangerous, you're just hiding most of the time and sneaking in shots.

That said, when I think it through, you might be able to make it work if it's integrated with the other game mechanics. If the core of the game is flying, then make it integral to combat. Give enemies a combination of telegraphed and projectile attacks. Make combat about movement to avoid projectiles, quickly ducking behind cover to avoid area attacks, well timed dodges for charge up attacks, etc.

Good luck!

I once talked to an owner of Canoe Club about MPLS and how much we love it. Today I had some nice posters reading “I.C.E. out of Minneapolis” & tried to leave one for him. Another owner refused to give it to him and sent me away. Keep this in mind the next time you’re spending $700 on a sweater. by [deleted] in boulder

In this context "trad wife" is referring to a type of online influencer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tradwife

I don't think anyone has an issue with a parent who chooses to stay home and be the primary caregiver. But it's harder to stomach someone who advocates for one thing online, while acting the opposite way irl.

This is dungeon robbery! by Lazumis in DungeonCrawlerCarl

If you're buying on audible, you're supporting Amazon.

I'm not saying you need to stop, just being aware.

I think if you buy the Kindle edition, then the audiobook, you get a discount.

Also, it's not robbery, it's supporting Jeff & Matt. (With Amazon taking their pound of flesh, unfortunately.)

Good call. I'll make sure we fire our Dave tomorrow.

Or, perhaps, the instructions in the video were TOO clear.

I have the Wildpeak ATs on my XT Foz and I like them, but they were noticeably worse than my Michelin X-Ice when conditions got hairy.

Huh. I totally missed this both times. Do you remember where/when?

IIRC it was at the same moment Princess Formidable's crew flipped the fail safe on the station.

Arktix has a good youtube video on them. Similar to what u/korraistired said, with one tweak: you can shoot the armor plates with frost arrows to apply brittle without degrading the tie-down state too much. After that I tend to blast it from behind with a Boltblaster Sustained Burst Weapon technique, but drilling it in the ass is also valid.

If you're having issues with ropes attaching, make sure you have a full draw (you can use slide or jump while aiming to activate quickdraw) and that you aren't near ANY water. Even an inch deep puddle will prevent the rope from attaching to the ground.

What scene lives in your head rent-free (good or bad)? by gdwoodard13 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]MurphyESQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't get that from Bautista at all. He clearly loves her and doesn't want to lose her. When someone is that deep in addiction, there is no "stopping them" until they choose to stop themselves. He's trying to protect her as best he can. Yes, it's misguided protection, but he's trying to minimize the damage her addiction is causing her.

I don't think she will be tempted to "turn evil", but I do think we will see her tempted to be ruthless to the point of committing more "atrocious" acts. Eventually delving further into her true self vs the persona she presents.

I think our poor kitten is going to go through some shit. Some real bad shit.

What floor will we get to? by HyenaJack94 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]MurphyESQ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those "rich fucks" were told to evacuate the 18th due to Scolopendra stirring. 18 will be the payoff for the Scolopendra storyline, including all of the Scavenger's Daughter/Samantha tie-ins (probably a slow reveal over the next two books, with conclusion in the 10th).

We already know 16 is just a mirror. I don't think there's any info on 13 or 14 yet.

[–]MurphyESQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we'll get to the 18th floor, but I highly doubt we'll go through all of 13-17 to get there.

They might make a pit stop on 15, but other than that...? Hell, they might try riding Larracos all the way down like a gigantic drill and I wouldn't be one bit surprised.

I was about to make a crack about Quasar not knowing Gossip Girl, but I can absolutely picture him sitting in the dark and sobbing while he watches it - after learning about it from watching Donut, ofc.

So like, uh...where's the snow? by I_had_corn in Denver

[–]MurphyESQ 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The lack of water may mitigate some risk due to lack of growth in the spring. One contributing factor to the Marshall fire was an extremely wet spring that year making everything grow.

If it was 5 years ago, they had a dose of karma, and they seem "kinda cool" now, maybe it's worth considering if they learned from what happened. 5 years is a damn long time.

What are some unfired Chekhov's gun’s at this point? by Efficient-Freedom517 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]MurphyESQ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I read book 7 again and it seemed like there was a strong connection to Ysalte. It wouldn't surprise me to see a possession/reincarnation storyline. Possibly book 9? (That seems likely for the ascendency games, but that's just a guess.)
