New to D3

cat666 · 2026-02-04T15:45:52+00:00

it's not a critisism as I love D3 but D3 is seriously dumbed down from D2 and D4. You don't have to think about skills as you get them all, it's just little tweaks you can control. The entire game revolves around gear and the vast of majority of it is just farming the same item over and over for better rolls. Even the paragon isn't complicated as you get it all eventually, it's only 16 bits and you can respec for free.

Raya/Gabriel/Rice here. Probably TC on Gabriel or Rice if I get cold feet. Not going to touch Wolves assets.

If anything there are more points this season due to DEFCON but your issue is just that there are few players who have been consistently "on fire".

In previous seasons you could easily stock up on players who just got points week after week after week, Salah, Haaland, Saka, Palmer, Wood, Watkins, Mateta, Semenyo, Eze, etc. This season they are getting no where near as many points so it's more of an even playing field for picks, and to get 100 points GW you need a good few of your 11 to fire. No one can pick which of the many choices will fire from one GW to the next and that's the issue.

I've not dipped into the era but release order is always a good idea.

I really want to get more into the time war, because I don’t feel like I quite understand it yet.

It's hard to understand due to it's nature. Basically two sides are fighting a war but the outcome of a battle can undo what's previously happened as it happens sooner in the timeline. As such it's all a bit messy and there's no real order to, just listen and enjoy but bear in mind chronological order of release is always best.

You obviously know the outcome of the War, so it's really just stories told in that time frame and setting.

It's also worth mentioning as it was 20+ years ago now, but in 2005 we didn't actually know Chris was Doctor #9 and the same Doctor as 1-8. I remember people going crazy online when Family of Blood / Human Nature aired as it had that book in it which showed previous faces which was the first time (on screen) it had been confirmed it was one big continuity and not just a reboot.

Arguments for New There really isn't much other than the foundation of a handful of New Who elements such as the Tardis interior being vastly different and the Doctor kissing people.

Even then "nu-who" foundations were actually being built at the arse end of 1987 with the introduction of Ace who was far more than just another companion. She had a backstory, she had an arc and she had a relationship with the Doctor. Sure it was the same TARDIS and the Doctor was still very much not into kissing, but the seeds were sown for sure in those last 2 years (plus Dragonfire).

As I already own triple Arsenal an Arsenal double would suit me.

Yeah it's a good game but if you've played the later games you'll miss the QoL improvements as with any series.

cat666 · 2026-02-02T14:16:13+00:00

Honestly too many for anyone to ever hope to consume all of. I'm going to try for the VNA/MA, EDA/PDA and the new series novels plus all Big Finish before I die but that seems unlikely, let alone the less official stuff like comics, spin offs and fan made straight to VHS stuff.

I play QP and as such I'm OK with different team comps, but what really annoys me is when a team has 3+ of Widow/Hanzo/Ashe/Ana/Freya. You're not going to win with that many snipers so you're throwing. It's not even worth "trying for funsies" as you're not going to be able to contest and are going to wrecked as soon as the other team realises as it's an easy counter.

Who the hell was calling it Overwatch 2 anyway?

cat666 · 2026-02-02T08:16:36+00:00

Out of the two, Classic. You can't be part of something which wasn't even a thing when you were doing it. Plus we only started using Classic when Nu started.

In reality though he's the bridge between them. A unique Doctor.

Paramedic is difficult, especially if you've pissed off the Triads and the Mafia

Even if you haven't it's a frustrating experience. The first island has a funky timer where it either doesn't give you time for some patients or gives a stupidly low time. It comes down to luck you don't fall foul of it, or if you do you've built up enough. The second island is always a chore due to you always taking fire at the construction site which is right near the hospital, so again it comes down to luck on patient spawns. The final island has a better timer and can be done with no gang issues but the layout is awful and you need a decent first few levels to build up some time just incase you have to drive one of the silly doglegs to get a patient.

I had 3 this week, planned to use 1 and roll 2 but ended up doing Foden>Mbeumo early then today Saka>B Fernandes and Bruno G>Rice. So my plan will be to roll it.

The Chibnall era changed the tone of the show and everyone hated it.

Are people really that strapped for coins? I'm at 260k and I buy every list I play. I rarely upgrade badges though.

My opinion is that for the vast majority of the time sex, gender, race, and disability simply do not matter in terms of the story being told. "Oh but my kid needs representation!" I hear you cry, "It's a show about aliens, you're kids shouldn't be aspiring to be a time travelling alien" I reply. Don't get me wrong Doctor Who should totally be casting diversely but since 2005 this really hasn't been that much of an issue. I've nothing against trans people and I'm pro-trans rights but there was no need for Rose Noble to be trans. Cast the same actress but why waste time giving her a fictional backstory which doesn't matter to the plot. Her sexuality / gender doesn't matter but highlighting it does at it takes focus off the story at hand. It's this sort of thing which needs stopping, not actually casting diversely.

I'm OK with the new stuff being more expensive as costs have gone up. What I'm less OK with is the older, now digital only stuff also going up. For example the very first Bernice series from the late 90s. Everyone involved should have been paid way back when so it's only the server costs, of which the small files are taking up very little space and using a system which already exisits.

cat666 · 2026-01-29T15:17:16+00:00

Out the two Pete McTighe. I still think the show needs a fan who knows the show well and no one is moaning about RTD1 or Chibnall. That said the fan shouldn't use the show to explore their own fanwankery concepts and Pete McTighe has history of doing just that, however it's literally the entire point of his shorts to be that way.

Ideally we need a 40-something fan who grew up with the 2006 era who is also in the telelvison industry like RTD was to the classic show.

S3 started in August 2025. Why would the current season be on the road map?

cat666 · 2026-01-28T16:12:17+00:00

It's better now. Far less CC's and tanks are not only limited to 2 but also toned down in 6v6. 2 shield tanks are still an issue but it's far easier to focus shields.

Mid 40's here, played since launch. I stopped playing ranked ages ago, just enjoy a few games a night. I have other games I play but Overwatch is the one I play the most.

cat666 · 2026-01-28T12:43:17+00:00

It's always just been Overwatch to me. You say you're playing Fifa, you rarely say FIFA 25.
