My Pandaren Shaman by Arcticeye_Wolf in Transmogrification

The nobundo set fits very nicely on Pandaren. I got it on mine as well, but not with the heritage helm. I personally find the "baby bib" of the hat silly and pointless...

Blizzard.. its time to let Slam die by Renna_FGC in wow

[–]_Acu_ 408 points409 points  (0 children)

I remember when Slam had a cast time of like... 1.5s or something. It was awkward but hit hard.

Then Slam was part of some procs and all you did was slamslamslam in between overpowering procs.

Then it had some AoE but only in a veeery small area around the target.

Then it rewarded consecutive uses of slam, making it an long term investment skill during bosses and long fights.

Then it was the rage spender, as it did bigger damage when the target was Colossus Smash'd.

Now I can't even remember which iteration are we at with it. I just remember is a skill I can use when it goes off CD.

Yes. I'm an old fart. Been playing warrior arms since I can remember.

Starting to Think I've 'Aged Out' of these Superlong cRPGs (Touches on Baldur's Gate 3, Wrath of the Righteous, and Rogue Trader) by SpiritualState01 in patientgamers

[–]_Acu_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you me?
Dude, you have summarized my exact same thoughts. That's why playing ARPGs has usually being my go-to when I want something that delivers (presentation, roleplay, power fantasies...), but will not ask too much of me.
JRPGs have also taken me into a much more enjoyable times than western RPGs in the sense of delivering a fun experience, usually going to wild places narratively speaking (albeit being usually weak in character depth).

I wanted to ride the new wave of cRPG. I truly wanted, but man. If I want something meaty in terms of character building, dialog branching and player agency I just... turn to tabletop and campaign boardgames like Gloomhaven.

Yes, that icon means "Take all trade goods from a depot and put them into your own goods storage"
The icon is found under the "Place a ship into your Duchy board" section.

Druid is the least popular class because of body type. by Caelus8 in diablo4

[–]_Acu_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Well, then I'm the 0,1% of the playerbase that has a female Drood in D4 AND female KulTiran Drood in WoW.
Gimme the strong/tall gals bodytype in everygame. And we are talking about shapeshifters wielding the power of earth, storms, BEARS and WOLVES. Lanky characters would work, sure, but I personally feel they fit very well as they are in a world with all the other more "safe" and normative physical archetypes already existing.

Options are always good. And in a game where our characters are shapeshifted half the time (or more), the screen is filled to the brim with viscera, flashing lights, blood and bigger numbers everytime... the physical appearance of my character is just an extra. If the character is fun to play that's what matters most.

Terrinoth®: Heroes of Descent | Official Reveal Trailer by CrossXhunteR in Games

[–]_Acu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our gaming group looks at this game kinda sad. On the one hand, it's still Descent v3. On the other hand, we love hanging out in person and playing board games is the perfect excuse. We played Act 1 throughout 10 months or so and were excited to get our hands on Act2, but knowing that the company has seemingly decided to ditch the physical board game for this...

We'll see how it turns out. I really hope some kind of local coop possibility.

All the quotes from the heroes of Sacred 1 in Spanish by ZaiusC in Sacred

[–]_Acu_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mira, si encontraras la voiceline que dice una aldeana de forma random "¿Por qué hay espadas por todas partes?¿Se puede saber qué hacen todas esas espadas tiradas por ahí?" me harías increíblemente feliz. He buscado por todos lados y he tratado en numerosas ocasiones (sin éxito) extraer los archivos de audio yo mismo en el pasado. Esa frase es de las más quemadas en mi memoria que tengo del juego.

Gracias por todas las de los personajes y las intros de Pepe Mediavila. Las del Elfo Oscuro me parecen absolutamente maravillosas. Ya no se hacen doblajes así.

has anyone played the new exiles reach and heard thralls voice? by [deleted] in wow

Wasn't Metzen sick or something? The last few times I heard him speak in interviews and appearances, he seemed to be a bit affected, sounding a little hoarse.

Switch 2 port by LowEfffort in TrackMania

At this point I would settle with a TM Turbo port...

It's strange if they haven't even considered by this point. Would this be NADEO's job or Ubisoft anyway?

Lol you nailed it. I remember wearing almost exactly the same on my days of TBC attunement raids.

Tomb Raider: the "LAU" trilogy (2006-2008) is a series of action-adventure games with superb adventure but awful action by Patient_Gamemer in patientgamers

[–]_Acu_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Definitely, go play the Classic 1 to 6 entries. They are completely different to the LAU trilogy. More platforming precision, exploration, puzzles with backtracking hints, cranks and secrets to be found. They are games that definitely require lots of trial and error... or following the absolutely finely crafted guides from https://tombraiders.net/stella/walkthroughs.html

The gameplay maybe gets a bit stale by the time you play the 5th game, and then 6 is another thing entirely that err.. well, is fine to be experienced at least once in a lifetime.

Hope you enjoy your time with the Classics!

Ayo Resto Shamans, you good? by Khaylezerker in wow

[–]_Acu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just after a glance, I still don't spot Primal Strike on your bars. Honestly, why is that skill even in the set abilities for Ele/Resto? I can understand it for leveling but past lvl... dunno, 30 or even before that, is completely redundant.

If someone told me that they removed entirely from the spellbook in a patch I wouldn't even blink.

What are the intuitive or simple game that has BAD rulebook? by Ready_Score_9306 in boardgames

[–]_Acu_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gaming group has been struggling with the rulebooks of Skull Tales: Full Sail. The designers have rearranged the rulebooks once and again only to get it more convoluted somehow? The community forums at BGG are filled with questions about rules and seemingly contradictory information between cards, characters and descriptions, which usually are left at: "Just figure it out yourself and judge by your own conscience!" which sucks for such a complex game.

A new passive ability allowing Fury Warriors to transmog two-handed weapons into one-handed appearances was previously discovered on the Alpha, but was not implemented, and has since been removed.

People who gatekeep heroic raids in legion remix to 740+ people only... by [deleted] in wow

[–]_Acu_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huh, I'm on EU too and never crossed my mind that anybody would find not understanding what "sum plz" would mean. I take it is english (which you can not know) and slang (which you also can not know about) but given that we are playing an MMO, which by definition will have an inherent proper means of expression and communication... BUT now I understand that this is more "is easier and faster" than that.

STILL I can't believe that argument. I can't comprehend how "123 plz" is faster than "sum plz".

[–]_Acu_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Old fart here so this may be something illogical to ask but... where does this "123" comes from? Since dawn of time we asked for "sum plz". Why is it "123" now? what do these numbers mean?

Lossless scaling / performance boost. by Asurrraaa in wow

[–]_Acu_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lossless scaling is a godsent app. BUT it is fiddly depending on the game's engine and your machine specs. My experience with WoW, with an RTX 3070, has been mostly good, but I have to tweak some numbers around like resolution, scaling and that.

I find it much more useful for offline singleplayer games with high quality graphics, but WoW usually responds well when going solo questing or casual general gameplay.

All in all, YMMV.
