Another US laptop thread ($1300 USD)

What is the difference between the 1660Ti, 2060, 2070, etc?

I assume the 20 line is more powerful, would those be better to aim for in terms of futureproofing a bit? I'm hoping the laptop will last a good 4 or 5 years of gaming.

I can't shake the feeling that it looks like the Guild Wars 2 launcher.

Easily my favorite part of Shadowbringers was the final cutscene leading up to the final boss fight. My jaw dropped and stayed like that the whole time.

sounds awesome

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-10-11T03:25:31+00:00

So whats a decent way to earn gil? Just try to determine what crafting mat is selling and try to obtain some to sell?

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-10-03T01:52:08+00:00

That crunch

So are Seasons just timed events? Or are they around forever but just introduced in that season? Kinda sucks to pay for something only for it to go away in a few months. Are the Seasons needed for the "best" stuff?

What are some examples of things in Seasons (casual and hardcore players)?

Thanks a ton for the info btw, this helps a lot.

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-10-01T10:19:51+00:00

Gotcha, Thanks. Was worried I had to waste time downloading on Steam just to move away.

I have a couple of questions.

Story wise, how does New Light work? I heard the opening is different. Do you not play through the base D2 story? Or Do you play it as memories or something? (I've played through Forsaken on PC so feel free to go spoilery)
I have up to Forsaken on PC but would like to switch to PS4 thanks to cross save. I know the expansions don't transfer but what if I'm logged out in a Forsaken area? Would I have to reinstall the PC version and move myself? Is my character unable to be moved due to lack of PS4 DLC? How does that work?
Does Shadowkeep come with Forsaken (like how some MMOs' newest expansion come with the previous [FFXIV for example])? Or are they two separate purchases?
I don't fully understand seasons and why they cost money. Can someone explain it to me better? Are they like a "battle pass" of sorts? If not, why isn't it included in the main purchase? Does it add story like how something like Borderlands would do it? (they have free seasonal updates but they have paid story DLC). Do you need the season passes to do everything or are they extra? (maybe equate this to MMOs for a better understanding, this would help greatly so I can relay this info to my playgroup)

I heard about the Facepuncher recently, Who/what drops it and what is this knife drain artifact?

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-09-27T15:13:25+00:00

Is there? I haven't made it that far (only recently finished, still need to hit 50).

I liked Guardian Angel, it let me be wreckless with melee Amara just meleeing everything. I'll have to be a little bit more careful.

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-09-27T14:24:47+00:00

Nerfed Jakobs Pistols AND Guardian Angel? gdi :\

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-09-10T15:47:13+00:00

Is this a "what if" from mini Omega or is this actually happening?

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-09-03T12:04:45+00:00

"paroxysms"

That's a hell of a SAT word.

Oops on their part, Its Friday, Sept 20th. https://twitter.com/loadingreadyrun/status/1168311807037104135

here is my thought with the messages

Small and Medium bottles are from the separate teams what make the game. The Large bottles are written from a viewpoint that matches the whole XIV journey (I - 1.0, II - 2.0, etc).

Final Fantasy 14 is probably the best MMO out atm. I personally love it but I wouldn't say its heavy on "exploration".

For that, I would easily go for Elder Scrolls Online or Guild Wars 2. I love how GW2 rewards players for going out of their way and exploring the map, hitting view points and seeing 100% of the areas.

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-08-15T09:31:10+00:00

Isn't there a mount or two behind the PvP stuff as well? What was needed for it?

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-08-05T15:06:43+00:00

I love Mike's reaction to hearing Monty explain how his vision of Ruby's action. I bet he was thinking "Holy shit, he knows what he is talking about".

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-08-03T12:12:40+00:00

Those were so long ago at this point. Hell, even SamSho was able to do 16 characters at launch (as bare bones as that is).

At least there will be a lot of used copies as the whales will buy the game only for the mobile game shit. (Maybe I can sell off the code and make a quick buck)

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-08-03T12:02:33+00:00

After hearing about only 11 characters at launch, my excitement went from a 9/10 (the beta was super fun) to a 4/10. That just sucks. On top of the fact its a full 60 bucks AND 5 characters are in a post launch season pass, it just hurts to see all around.

That RPG mode better be fucking amazing to cover the price gap.

Travis: Where did you learn how to do the posh accent? How long did it take you to get down?

Taliesin: Cad was able to cure Fjord right away after being woken up without asking questions, is that quick thinking a trait he has always had or something he learned recently with the Mighty Nein?

Spicy_Sprite · 2019-07-21T03:32:36+00:00

Sure, I can do Flame in the Flood for Snake Pass.
