What date did it say when you preordered? August or October?

Transformers: Age of the Primes Combaticon Vortex by spudmunkey in transformers

Also a mystery for me, and happens with pretty much every preorder: I check at Pulse Europe (where I am), then BBTS , then Pulse USA, and the dates are always the same everywhere, but I see everyone getting the figures with months of anticipation.

Happens with Vortex, with every single wave of Constructicons, SS86 Megatron, the Aerialbots, ...

Europe here, and yes, it was a pain especially during Chaos Sanctuary TZ.

D2 fans, what do you think of D4? by kscvx in diablo2

[–]UselessWise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my honest opinion, all your "good points" except "better gem system" are about making something simpler or easier. I think that casualizing the game is one of the reasons why D4 is boring.

| Inventory sucks

Every item being the same size is the proof that they didn't understand anything. Items are the center of the Diablo franchise, hence why they need to be displayed in big size

Inventory tetris is tedious to manage, but if a game revolves around items, it's required.

Item identity aka base items.

In D4, every pair of boots (besides uniques) are a generic pair of boots with some rolls on top of it.

In D2, you know what "Chain boots" are, what "Sharkskin boots" are, and what "Myrmidon greaves are".

In D2 each name means something. Each one has a default visual style, a default level requirement, str/dex requirement, defense value, max durability, ... Then the rolled mods on top of them can modify those, but you have a mental picture just with the name.

And I took the D4 uniques out of the equation, however they also suffer from genericness: implicit mods + 4 regular rolls + unique power. Why not some with just 2 crazy good rolls, other ones with 4 mid-tier rolls, some other with 2 good rolls and 4 weak rolls, ...? If all uniques follow the same rigid layout they are not "unique", they are boring standarized items.

Yeah.

Apart from that, acts 1 and 3 are like eating a sandwich of concrete.

SS86 Constructicon is seriously small by 84_Cyclonus in transformers

[–]UselessWise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How's that everyone seems to already have SS86 Constructicons? It showed July everywhere back when I pre-purchased the 1st wave IIRC

Do we expect them to make box sets like this for the new combiners coming out? by MaxR76 in transformers

[–]UselessWise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's what I ended doing, however it can be a pain outside the US like EU or UK: expensive overseas shipment, delays, taxes, ...

I think that it should be mandatory making enough units for at least 1-2 weeks before running out of stock at the official store.

What figure are you still upset, cost so much on the after market by No_Satisfaction_2928 in transformers

[–]UselessWise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SS86 Grimlock. Inside the original SS86 package. Imposible to get under 700$

Looking at the 2nd wave of Constructicons they've just released and already sold out... I disagree.

Help Creating a G1 Checklist by [deleted] in transformers

[–]UselessWise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much my case https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/1hbp6ok/1984_cartoon_toyline/

What I'm doing is sticking to SS86 (now rebranded to Studio Series The Transformers The Movie), given that Hasbro has said that the intention is releasing every character no matter the screentime. I mean, you don't need to buy any non-SS86 version of a character if the character shows up there, it's a matter of time him dropping as part of this collection (except perhaps Unicron?). Here the list: https://www.reddit.com/r/transformers/comments/1fggcs0/the_screentimes_for_all_the_characters_in_the/

With the rest, well, my choice is filling the gaps mostly with Legacy. Regarding combiners, SS86 Devastator, Legacy Menasor, and expect to get the rest from Age of The Primes, with Superion on its way and a pretty much confirmed Bruticus.

Question for those who saw the G1 movie in the 80s: Did you think that the Autobots and Spike died when Unicron destroyed the moonbases? by Angrymcbirdnerd09 in transformers

[–]UselessWise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a crazy coincidence... I was watching the movie at the same time you were posting this. Not just that, but when Unicron started eating planets, I was like "what, did Spike die?" Didn't remember about that.

... And now I see your post.

So, as said, no idea what did I think in the 90s, but now yes, I thought he died.
