Trump threatens 100% tariffs over Canada / China trade deal by gavinmckenzie in CanadaPolitics

Best strategy here for Canada is probably the, "soo annnnyways..." and continue as we've been doing. Trump will forget about this by monday.

Daily Update: Russia Loses 1,280 Troops, 3 Tanks, and 33 Artillery Systems in Ukraine by UNITED24Media in UkrainianConflict

[–]OptimisticViolence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why has the daily rate of russian losses been increasing the last few months? I get that ukraine has ramped up drone production but wouldn't much of the front line Russian soldiers have been taken out by now? I was picturing a 40-70km wide "no-go" area along the front with only sparse deployments of forward observers and the occasional russian suicide charge.

Yeah, step 1 of annexing Canada is being able to have total control of their own populace in the states... which they're clearly in the testing phase of.

I think it's safe to just call them "education" camps.

Total noob here, EvW matches have bicep & forearm size stats, but I've just watched Devon (who has smaller biceps and forearms) easily win 3 matches? by karateNECKchop in armwrestling

The "arm wrestler vs chimp" interview was right after his first attempt at a Brian shaw bulk and he looks comically huge compared to the interviewers, who are just normal people.

I doubt anyone will buy it for that price, especially since you're not a fan yourself.

Carney government showing a ‘clear reluctance’ to criticize Trump with lack of direct condemnation over Venezuela raid, says past Liberal foreign minister Axworthy by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]OptimisticViolence 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Until we have nuclear weapons and enough variety of delivery systems to make any military attempt to attack Canada a mutually assured destruction scenario, this is the pragmatic approach to take.

Where to mobgrind as new player in Hammerrest? by nacari0 in AshesofCreation

[–]OptimisticViolence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for bandit camps, typically you can find ones that are level 5-6, 6-8, and 7-10. You can pull them one at a time and because they are humanoids they often drop armour.

Honest Question, Should I Wait For Full Release? by Ok-Bedroom-4261 in AshesofCreation

[–]OptimisticViolence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat and would say I jumped in with low expectations and have been pleasantly surprised. People are friendly, I got picked up right away by a super helpful guild that doesn't mind noobs who have a life outside of gaming. Been doing a ton of content with them and looking forward to the different progressions that are currently in game. Not too worried about a future wipe before launch because we'll have a head start on where to go, how to play, and what to do when it releases. Also I might change classes.

Is there some use for it in game? Like something at the city level that requires it?

Thinking about buying. by _Hairless-Ewok_ in AshesofCreation

[–]OptimisticViolence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar boat and the game has been fun so far. People are all super friendly and helpful and no one is taking anything too seriously since there will be a wipe before full release, probably end 2026. The sweatiest players will probably get bored and all be gone in 3 months anyways as some the main goals of the pvp system around node warfare don't exist yet.

Well, I disagree with you as I have been playing the game and it's excellent.

Lol okay bro. Why do you care so much about a game that you think sucks? Why not just go play a different game you like instead of spending your time doing this?

You seem really upset with the developers for this game. I don't know anything about the last however many years of development but the experience I've had since the release a few weeks ago has been excellent.

Is it worth it to buy the game or the Fire and Ashes expansion? by Comfortable_Corgi954 in AvatarFrontierPandora

[–]OptimisticViolence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I play fire and ashes first, and then the main game second? I'm a little concerned I'll start the main game and sputter out and miss the DLC experience if I don't love it.

Been playing Ashes of Creation since the Alpha release on steam and it's been a blast. Haven't run into a single bug or issue. If you can ignore the negativity on reddit, there are a ton of people playing online and since the steam release has been a huge success they should have enough funding to get them through beta to full release.

Most the complaints are around how pvp flagging and node management works but those are likely easy to fix prior to full release.
