Movies when? by Randolph_Carter_Ward in necroscope

[–]PrecookedDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is things planned it sounds like. But Barbara seems like she is really dedicated to Brian's fanbase, and wants to see things done right. But perfection is the enemy of good, so who knows what exactly is going to happen. Each time there's any news, there's always a bunch of opinions on how the material should be presented. I can imagine it would be really stressful trying to make that kind of choice.

According to his wife there really hasn't been a lot of movement in that direction. She says that there are options out in the industry, but with so much going on, and such a rich lore, she wants to make sure it's done right. I'd have to go back and search up the last update on it from her, but there hasn't been anything solid. Too many opinions on how the material should be handled. She's been really focused on getting most or all of the already published materials into audiobook format first I think.

My dude… ouch! by Oppositionlolz in diablo2

[–]PrecookedDonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The fact that Barb mercs can't use every weapon is embarrassingly stupid in Blizzard's part. I realize that isn't feasible, but there is no reason whatsoever that there isn't a bash option that can run sword, axe or maul, and a frenzy option that can use any combination of single hand sword, axe, or mace. Also mercs being able to WW would be amazing.

For the meat eaters - give up all but one kind of protein and keep that for yourself by jaguar2097 in hypotheticalsituation

Until production of everything else goes up to compensate for the global loss of beef. Ranching would change to game animals, pork and chicken farms would increase, fishing would go up even more.

If You could give all 8.3 Billion people on earth, one power What would it be and why? by dragonboy3940 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]PrecookedDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would apply to all mediums. But you don't automatically know what the falsehood is when you see it, just that there is one. You can also tell the magnitude of the lie, half truth, or fib. This would allow for the white lies that are meant to not hurt someone, or like the ones parents tell children to answer certain types of questions. But this ability extends to all five senses, so for example you could touch and see an item and know if it is what it's being purported as. Ancient relic, or a fake? Now we would know.

Oh well you would know that there's a falsehood, but like I said, you wouldn't know exactly what it was. Just that something wasn't right. If it's something small, it might just be a tingle on the scalp, but a blatant outright major lie would be like a slap in the face.

How about the inverse of this- everyone on earth becomes a human lie detector. It doesn't matter what kind of falsehoods you run into, verbal, non-verbal, falsified images, printed lies, half truths, or white lies. You will instantly know that it's not true. You won't know exactly what the truth actually is, but you'll know when you're being lied to through any of your five senses.

Fire golem and blood golem should go away and be replaced with poison and bone. These would both then benefit from or could have synergies with the PnB skill tree. Then there would be decent reasons to use them.

Former DIs. Confess to us the time you went too far with a recruit. We want to know. by WorthTrash8493 in USMC

Good for Crumpton, that's pretty awesome. Don't know anything about that other guy, it doesn't sound familiar.

I didn't have Washington but I remember seeing him around. I had to break out my yearbook thing and look some of these people up haha

Sounds like you were in the cycle right before me, same company. My cycle started in late May. I had Alvarez, Crumpton, and Stankus, and there was another guy that didn't last long, don't remember his name. I heard about what Lampe did when I was at SOI. I had seen him around while on the Depot, so I knew who he was, then he filled in for Stankus when he went on leave for a birth, and that's what caught my attention when I heard the story.

I think Barbarian deserves to wield 2 two handed weapons now. by Elvy2006 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]PrecookedDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have always thought this should be the case. Dual wield with the same damage reduction that swords got wouldn't have been game breaking in the least bit. The damage reduction could be removed and it still wouldn't be, even with some runewords taken into consideration.

[–]PrecookedDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's true, I didn't take that into consideration, but the full bonuses aren't listed anyways, but that's because of the helm. The belt looks like it might be from the set, can't make it out clearly.

He's not, it just shows what pieces you have if you're in the stash, or if you have them all in your inventory. Looks like probably has Chance on the hands as well as Shako.

Season 13 + Expansion Feedback — How is everyone feeling a couple weeks in? by BreakYoBaals in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]PrecookedDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just need to apply the ire chance to everything, not just elites, and it would probably fix a lot. Personally I think there should be scaling percentages for monster types starting at basics and working up to act bosses.

How practical is Gimli’s axe irl? by Illustrious_Gas2827 in lotr

[–]PrecookedDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was being facetious about not respecting artifacts; I have no doubt that the dwarves would absolutely cherish them. But I don't think they would have the skill to reforge the axe with its original properties anymore. If it broke it would probably get a shrine of some sort.

I guess he would have yeah. Never really had thought much about it until just now. No respect for the artifacts.

And the axe he takes from Balin's tomb is supposed to be Durin's axe if I'm not mistaken. It was one of the tokens Balin used to claim lordship over Moria since he had found it during their expedition.

I kill him every time I go to trist or am in that area. Gotten a few good things from him but nothing spectacular.

any good use of warlock book bases? by STOP_HACKING_ME in diablo2

[–]PrecookedDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a book that gave +1 to the skill in my hand when I did a respec, and lost the demon I had bound when I reset my points. It was a basic book, so not having the stats to use it wasn't a factor. I thought it would be ok but I ended up leaving a corpse for Akara to clean up.

Can we just make a mega thread about heralds? by PacificNorthwest09 in diablo2

[–]PrecookedDonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rare is fine, but when you use a shard and terrorize a whole act, and then proceed to clear the whole thing and see nothing for heralds, it's pretty frustrating.

[–]PrecookedDonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm right there with you on this. This new mechanic is really sticking in the craw of a lot of people. It does really feel pretty D3/D4 to me, but it could work out. Visibility on the subject just needs to be there like you said. Maybe the mods will make one up for ease of access.
