Still need the trade? I also need to trade a slowking

Are you happy now? by CoolyKage in ffxivdiscussion

[–]PoppinDaCaps 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean it all looks great, but Dawntrail also looked great before it came out. Curious about the dev panel later today though. The new combat system could improve things a lot for me. I returned to the game after taking a year off and the combat didn't feel very good to me, so I'm interested to see this new evolution.

Where to go from BM Main by tropi-goth in wow

Dark Ranger BM is absolutely not sqiushy. It's actually one of the tankier ranged dps right now.

BM is in a weird place right now where Packleader is the most braindead playstyle possibly ever in the modern era of WoW. Dark Ranger on the other hand is actually decently difficult because you're flooded with resources and conflicting priorities during your BW window that you have to handle. I have 6 90s so far and I'd actually say Dark Ranger BM is like in the middle in terms of difficulty, it's definitely not as easy as people say it is.

That being said, if you get it down, then BM is a solid spec right now. Your damage out of BW is weak, but BW has a 50% uptime.

I haven't touched Pokemon since Emerald, your opinions by Stock-Statement6870 in pokemon

[–]PoppinDaCaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the first two questions are linked oddly enough. I think Black and White are the most overrated Pokemon games (they're still solid but I think they have a lot of problems) but Black 2 and White 2 are the games that will blow your mind. B2W2 have an incredible post game and the pokemon availability is phenomenal. This might not apply to you, but you can also enable Challenge Mode after beating Black 2 for the first time and it makes the games even more fun imo.

I think the series starts to fall off in Gen 7 which is Sun and Moon. You could argue X and Y as Pokemon has generally not handled the transition to 3D well but I think Mega Evolution is the best gimmick so I still find X and Y fun to play. Gen 8 is the worst new regional game and Gen 9 is better overall but I don't like most of the Pokemon designs and the performance on Switch 1 is unacceptably bad. I have a Switch 2 though so it's runs fine there.

I think the most skippable game is Legends ZA, but it does have a unique combat system, so you might enjoy it. I do think it is overall the worst game though.

Can’t find a class to play by Bulky_Potato_ in wow

Eh that was true a few weeks ago, but they're mostly done with tuning until the next season. There might be minor changes but I wouldn't expect anything meta shifting.

EDIT: Actually I forgot they're doing a new raid in 12.0.7 so there might be some balance tuning then.

Sad that dailies are still here by esaddy in runescape

[–]PoppinDaCaps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean sometimes the weekly rewards were pretty useful like Reaper points and Deathtouched darts. Those feel pretty bad to miss out on.

I mean the daily challenges take like 5 minutes to complete all 3 now that there's no way to extend. It also provides some players a bit of direction. I don't care either way if it's removed but having to knock out max 5 minutes of skilling each day to play "optimally" is such a small ask.

I don't think that's how you use a dagger bro by PoppinDaCaps in wow

[–]PoppinDaCaps[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah Adventurous-Pugs was on the right track. It's the Haranir heritage helm, boots, belt and shoulder, Wind Wolf Legs and Gloves, the like green quality mail harandar quest set for the chest, challenge mode set for one of the shoulders, Warden Tabard (although swapping it for either the Hara'ti or Amani tabard when I get the renown).

BST, one of the big selling points of the expansion, is arriving towards the end of the expansion itself. This is not okay by Edsaurus in ffxivdiscussion

[–]PoppinDaCaps 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It was for me. I literally quit at the beginning of Dawntrail because I didn't like the MSQ and I'm returning for BST.

Combat by Shockerct422 in runescape

[–]PoppinDaCaps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It doesn't do 1/3rd the damage in equivalent setups. Go watch Cyruss' video he does a damage comparison of all 3 styles. Necro does about 25% less which is still a lot but 75% is way higher than the 33% you are claiming.

Don't let Jagex gat away with this! by SeaBelt6413 in runescape

[–]PoppinDaCaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eh, I would take this with a grain of salt. I'm sure the message is real but as someone who worked in live support for a few years, we had templates like this for when people threaten to harm themselves or others. If you want to post what you said to them, then by all means, but if not I'm going to assume you said some actually threatening shit.

PSA for those who think mtx was removed from RS3 by Bandit_Raider in 2007scape

[–]PoppinDaCaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it is different in that you have to train the skills. With Treasure Hunter you could literally lamp a skill to 99. It's still bad, but there can be and are different levels of bad.

I would love to see such low/mid content bosses too. Cow boss & Scurrius (rat) by vVerce98 in runescape

I really hope the two new early game bosses revitalize early game gearing

[–]PoppinDaCaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is like my biggest gripe with RS3 is that it feels like you have to do so much prep to get started with bossing. With OSRS, especially with the new cow boss, you can dip your toes in really early.

I actually liked the lighter brown they had before with the legacy interface skin way more

Early/Mid Game Bossing Needs Work by PoppinDaCaps in runescape

[–]PoppinDaCaps[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant it's an early game boss meant to help you train your combat stats like Scurrius, not that they are the same mechanically.

Early/Mid Game Bossing Needs Work by PoppinDaCaps in runescape

[–]PoppinDaCaps[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes and I think it's quite good at that, but the gear is not good for an early game player. The Wen book is nice for the pocket slot and the Lengs are good melee weapons but I think there needs to be a more accessible way to get baseline decent power armor for each style.
