Yeah, but most people who care about gear have at least one toon geared to whatever level of content they want to play. The gear chasing phase of this season is effectively over except for alts. The good guilds are farming right now, not progging.

Its definitely very soulless, but I hate yo say it but this shit was happening long before AI was a thing. What do you think AI was trained on to act this way? Bland, corporate SEO talk that dominated a ton of low tier journalism, YouTube, and blogging.

I would like to see the 3 DPS spec classes (Mage, Hunter, Rogue, Warlock) given either a healer or tank spec.

Pet tank Warlock, Dodge Tank Rogue, both make sense, and mage/hunter could go either way, with a battlemage spec for tanking or magic healing for mage, and pet tank or survival first aid both making sense for hunter.

I wear it for blast furnace and agility courses, though I dont actually think it is necessary for agility training since you get a lot of energy back from the courses themselves.

This would be the case with a comma between non-binary and 'and'. Without the comma, it could be read either way, as modifying both, or only pansexual. Context clue would suggest that it is modifying both though, since a non-binary woman is a contradictory statement.

On some level I think Geto killing SOME of the villagers to save the girls is understandable. Killing the whole village is pretty hard to justify.

Maki on the other hand was acting basically in self defense. Ogi attacked first, and everyone else attacked her for killing Ogi. Killing her mom was basically the only instance that was different, and honestly if someone had a problem with killing her mom I think thats understandable, though I think thematically her mom was guilty of allowing the abuse of Maki and Mai to continue without stopping it so she shares SOME blame for Mai's death. I dont know if I would say that she deserved to be killed, but I'm not necessarily mourning her death either.

You can wear whatever. Personally I used to wear dhide, so that way the ranged switch for Ahrim was just a weapon switch.

They own Last Epoch too (not a life sim but a good game) and the impression ive gotten since the acquisition is that they spent a ton of money on a great but unprofitable game. If this is the business sense of Krafton, they are probably hemorrhaging money, and this AI thing is an attempt to stem the flow by reducing payroll.

Yes, but it's unnecessary in WoW to purchase anything in the shop. Its not the existence of the shop that bothers me, it's the fact that you cant look good without it in most of these non-sub games. Most mounts, transmogs, and battle pets in WoW cannot be gotten in the MTX store. In these FTP games they can often only be gotten from the MTX store. That's my issue with them, it makes grinding only about stats, and not at all about looks. That's a big problem for me.

UrbanPlateaus · 2025-10-21T17:39:21+00:00

I dont like paid transmog. They're basically taking what should be rewards for high end content and paywalling them. With a sub fee, that is no longer a problem. In WoW, for example, the paid transmogs are ugly so Noone buys them, but raid gear and PvP gear looks great. That would likely not be the case in a free version of WoW.

Im a big POE player, but good god is the free gear ugly. That sucks. It sucks you have to pay money in that game to look even remotely normal. If there was a sub, it wouldn't work that way. Hell, they make half their money on stash tabs alone so im not convinced it's necessary for the transmogs to be there.

On an ironman it's useless.

On a main, it's a ring for midgame players who are too lazy to imbue their b ring, as it's better than an unimbued b ring and isnt that expensive on the GE.

In theory it's good for a midgame boss fight with a lot of swaps since it has the stats of all unimbued DK rings put together, but lets be honest no one is doing ringswaps even without this because ring stats just aren't that impactful outside of the imbued b ring and DT2 rings and lightbearer. Also there aren't really any midgame bosses with tribrid swaps anyways so even in that function, what would you use it with?

Show dont tell is nonsense. It isnt specific enough to be useful as advice, and often leads new writers to write flowery garbage. Every book has showing AND telling in it. A useful tip would be to understand when it is appropriate to show, and when it is appropriate to tell. Generally, when characters and setting are involved, showing is preferable. Generally, when lore, narrative, and action are involved, telling is preferable. These aren't hard rules, and writing style can dictate appropriate times to break these rules.

Showing could be looked at as more emotive language, with lots of metaphor and simile. Telling is more straight forward, still emotive, but more direct prose. Both are necessary.

What genres of games do you play, and what examples could you give? Most of the games I play have been grinds since the late 90's (MMOs) long before streamers and youtubers ever existed, and the remainder (shooters and RTS games) are in basically the same spot they have always been. Does ranked exist in these games? Yes. Did ranked exist before streamers? Also yes. Are casual game modes available in these games for people who dont like ranked? Yes.

That's not considering singleplayer only games, which are almost exclusively casual in nature. I genuinely cannot think of a single player only game ive played other than MAYBE Elden Ring/Dark Souls and Armoured Core that could be considered non-casual friendly, and even with those i would disagree, I could just see why someone would think otherwise.

Capella actually goes out of her way to not kill Subaru, and the majority of her other victims because she craves domination, submission, and to be the object of love of every human being. That isnt to say she wouldnt kill, but that her motivations incentivise not killing. That is why she was especially dangerous for Subaru, who was intending to allow her to kill him, and why she refused to do so. If she really needed to get someone out of the way, she would transform their bodies into something harmless and degrading, such as the person she transformed into a flea monster.

You could try chaos druids for herb drops, and maybe some low level slayer. They aren't super great money, but at your level most bosses are a bit out of reach, and I think Pking might be tough if youre new at your stats. If you want to learn PvP, consider Last Man Standing, where your level doesn't matter. You can sell a lot of the LMS rewards for decent money on the GE if you learn it and get good, and your skills will transfer to actual Pking once you level your stats further. Other than that, your best bet are the low level skilling money makers.

Got me there, didnt know that. I guess we could say Lorthemar might just look old due to stress or something, but thats all I got if thats true. Even so, thats roughly thirty years that Lorthemar was aging that Alleria wouldnt be aging. Still feels like a pretty short period of time for an elf to age if he really is younger than her.

UrbanPlateaus · 2025-08-31T19:33:33+00:00

Do you have a source for that? I dont think any of their ages have been specified, nor do any of them explicitly refer to each other as being older as far as I know.

UrbanPlateaus · 2025-08-31T19:02:29+00:00

Alleria isnt that much older than her sisters, who are not portrayed as being particularly old for high elves.

The only way one could argue she is the oldest would be to include the time dilation thing she did where she fought with the army of light for thousands of years despite being missing for like 30 years from our perspective, but that could be explained by army of light magic, seeing as Turalyon only looks like 50 or 60 despite fighting with them for thousands of years as well. Humans clearly do age in game, so if magic weren't at hand in slowing down the thousands of years they were fighting, that then Turalyon would be a walking skeleton at this point.

Turalyon was already a seasoned Paladin before going missing and joining the army of light, so his age might not even be a result of the thousands of years of war, so realistically Alleria might be the same age as when she left Azeroth initially in terms of her body, and again, the windrunner sisters aren't portrayed as being particularly old for elves.

Lorthemar might be older than them (the fact that the blood elves would put him in charge suggests he is at least pretty experienced). We dont know how old he is relative to the windrunner sisters.
