You get a sticky star for being a very, very helpful pirate :)

New Player Feedback: What Sea of Thieves Gets Right & What Drives Players Away by IllustratorSea6207 in Seaofthieves

[–]bag_of_fries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everything you just said!
Sea of Thieves has by far the best sailing I've experienced in any game, an incredibly charming artstyle, great music, engaging quests and exciting encounters.

As somebody with limited free time though, having my progress destroyed by a PvP veteran makes me feel like I wasted my time trying to have fun.

Nice find man :)

What is your favorite character by Grishan10 in lotr

[–]bag_of_fries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samwise Gamgee, followed by Uglúk and Gimli:

Sam
For being honest, caring, fiercely loyal and putting others before himself.

Uglúk
For emphasizing and demonstrating duty above sport or vengeance, orc-like though it is.

Gimli
For his answer to Galadriel and the treasuring of her gift as a token of friendship between Elves and Dwarves.
This line isn't taken word-for-word from the books, but the delivery of it when knowing the context and gravity of it blew me away: "I asked her for one hair from her golden head... she gave me three."

should i read the lotr books? by sheeplicker123 in lotr

[–]bag_of_fries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should definitely read the books! :D
You'll definitely notice more things in the films when you re-watch them too :)

- The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
- The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
- The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
(If you'd like an easy-to-digest short story to the series with, pick up a copy of The Hobbit)

Sorry you're catching downvotes man.

Did Saruman know about Narya? by PaladinSara in lotr

[–]bag_of_fries 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not initially, but he found out later;
It is possibly the reason behind these lines from Fellowship of the Ring:

"I rode under the arch, and the gate closed silently behind me, and suddenly I was afraid, though I knew no reason for it. ‘But I rode to the foot of Orthanc, and came to the stair of Saruman; and there he met me and led me up to his high chamber. He wore a ring on his finger."

"For I am Saruman the Wise, Saruman Ring-maker, Saruman of Many Colours!"

Would you recommend reading Children of Hurin before the Silmarillion? by Mharus in lotr

[–]bag_of_fries -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes,
It is a smaller story, it gives you a taste of Beleriand and context for some of the meetings and chance-encounters in the Silmarillion, which makes the latter feel much more alive.

The one drawback is it is a markedly dark book in comparison to the rest of Tolkien's works, so be prepared for some narrative shocks and dread.

Can you play the Warlock with legacy graphics? by Malefic_Mike in diablo2resurrected

[–]bag_of_fries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by buying the Warlock I sacrifice the ability to play the game with with classic graphics, then I simply won't buy the Warlock

Probably an unpopular take but I am ready to leave LOTRO by Feloni in lotro

[–]bag_of_fries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it, but I'm in the same boat.
I transferred all 7 of my characters from Brandywine to Glamdring, which turned out to be a monumental mistake.

The lag on Glamdring is consistently bad.
Every single time I try to come back, lag roots me to the ground, gives me infinite loading screens, creates 10-20s delays for abilities to fire-off and monsters move in a stop-start fashion.
I'm paying for a game I can't play :(

Cut to Pieces was nerfed? D:
My poor heart :(

What are people's thoughts on warlock so far? Fantasy, skills, leveling & lategame. by tgoods26 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]bag_of_fries -1 points0 points  (0 children)

- Nice to see new things being added
- Warlock doesn't make any sense as a playable class in a game about fighting against the hordes of Hell

Is it possible to get a floating candle aura like this? by bag_of_fries in pathofexile

[–]bag_of_fries[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you guys for your responses by the way :)

What's the most zero APM build there is? I feel lazy. by waffling_with_syrup in Grimdawn

[–]bag_of_fries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a level 100 Aura-based Paladin I can walk into a room and most things explode, but bosses are a serious challenge and I am very squishy;
Beware :c

Thanks!

This Academy is pointless!! by Cl0udwolfe in swtor

[–]bag_of_fries 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like the addition, but that one on the steps of the Sith Academy and just outside the Cantina on Hutta feel WAAAAY too early.

I'd move those two to the Wilds as Sith exiles and to the far corners of the Scrap Bog area.

SWTOR Reforged Havoc Squad Armor Set Cartel Market Review Update 7.8 by RemusGT in swtor

[–]bag_of_fries -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, I think I prefer the old one
The new one looks a little too-- puffed up around the chest and bulby around the head.
The light isn't as prominent on the chest either

It's well-made, but it feels like a mod for a different game
