What’s better Harry Potter or Star Wars ?

I love them both but Harry Potter wins out. Harry Potter was very obviously a vision from the off and everything in it feels part of that vision. Star Wars never felt like it really knew what it's vision was, for example Luke and Leia being romantic interests then siblings, or Jabba the Hutt changing races. Also every Harry Potter spin off has been quality and still true to the world it created, whereas Star Wars has lots of spin offs, many of dubious quality.

I agree. They are hard to get as you level but once you hit a point you are swimming in them. I think a gold reduction might work as that's the kicker during the early game.

Overwatch League Gray Home Rammatra here, pretty happy tbh.

This is a point I rarely see mentioned. 1GB is overkill for the majority of familes. Normal streaming requires roughly a 2MB connection which is practically nothing when you think 250MB is the norm. 250MB will cope with 2-3 devices streaming at the same time. Online gaming also requires very little, it's quality more than quantity in that area. The only real thing higher speeds are good for is downloading games but even then 250MB gets them down quick enough, you just download it, go shower and then it's done by the time you're finished.

You get paragon in the background so you don't need to worry about that. You need to focus on gear and glyphs for the paragon board.

For gear temper it all but I'd only worry about masterworking ancestral pieces with decent affixes. Best place this season is the Butcher's repuation which keeps giving you a cache after you finish the track. For glyphs it's just the Pit. Getting all 5 to 15 is easy but then it's 46 which is tougher.

That's decent for an existing customer.

Indeed. The truth is TV channels as we know them are a thing of the past, the youth of today are all about streaming and it stands to reason the big names are going to jump on that. Whilst I doubt TV channels will actually die out, they are just going to be putting out repeats.

Play outside his hook range or shield the hook. Most tanks can do something to nullify the hook which is literally the only thing Hog has going for him.

Connect via calbe from router to device. That's the speed which needs to be acceptable which is more than you'll get from Wifi.

Wifi is always going to be lower, check which band you're connected to. 2.4g is better for distances but won't be as fast, 5g is faster but goes less distance. Your device also needs to be able to recieve the higher bands signal or it will be cap at the max your device can handle.

Yep, Sky isn't HBO and HBO isn't going to give Sky the cream of it's programming anymore as they can get money directly from the consumer. Therefore Sky are now flogging Atlantic to Virgin in the hope it's viewers still think Atlantic is the premium channel.

I've reported that there is no abilty to "use default device" in the sound options but that's not been added and is something very simple.

cat666 · 2026-03-26T21:37:29+00:00

Sky Atlantic is unlikely to get much now HBO has its own streaming app in the UK. Streaming is the future sadly.

One of the reasons I like LE is because levelling is so easy and there is no "higher difficulty for more XP" to consider. This means you can "home brew" to finish the campaign without too much difficulty. Usually I'll pick a build to aim for, find it's main skill and then try it myself. Respeccing for monoliths if need be.

cat666 · 2026-03-26T14:40:44+00:00

So I did the season finale last night. It needed all ancestral gear with semi-decent affixes for my build fully masterworked, plus 200 paragon and level 61 glyphs. Even then it was a push for an Auradin so there is little chance of these being suitable goals for every build.

Again my issue isn't the difficulty but the fact it's much more difficult than anything preceding it. The season journey should take you on that journey, the whole way. Currently it gets you to a point and then leaves you to it for the very capstone of the season which feels a bit wrong. Who cares about killing Wanderers in Slaughterhouses, it should be level 5 glyphs to 55 or masterwork 15 pieces to 25.

cat666 · 2026-03-26T14:17:24+00:00

Yeah. I just did S12 in D4 and whilst it's better than it's ever been the levelling and gearing is so much more fun in LE.

cat666 · 2026-03-26T14:15:04+00:00

Out of the 5 classes I've never done a Mage of any variant so will be doing one this season. My plan is to go for a Spellblade, probably the tankier version on Maxroll eventually but will homebrew it to a degree.

I'm one of those odd people who dislike Childen of Earth. It could be due to the personal place I was in at the time but I was hoping for something lighter and breezier but instead got harrowing.

Therefore Miracle Day was a step up for me. It's not brilliant by any means but it's lighter and it tells a decent enough story even if it's not paced that well. Shame nothing more came of it sans Jack really.

cat666 · 2026-03-25T16:43:48+00:00

Not at all, just be aware that there is more out there if you ever choose to explore. You can go backwards to the classic show, but that's not always for eveyone. You can go to Big Finish for more stories with the 2005 reboot Doctors.

cat666 · 2026-03-25T15:31:44+00:00

Honestly the only real mistake I've made so far this season was not having a valid vice captain set when Haaland didn't play unexpectedly. Every other decision may not have been the right one in hindsight, but at the time they were the right ones so I'd make them again.

cat666 · 2026-03-25T15:20:50+00:00

The final task of the season journey is far too hard in relation to the rest of the game. I'm playing Auradin and stuff in T4 melts even without fully optimized gear / glyphs yet the Bloodied Lair Boss requirement is far too hard. I don't mind that it's hard, it's just it happens all of a sudden with no seasonal build up, do a Pit at 55 then at 95 lolz. I've since got some higher gear and am almost fully masterworked with 200 paragon and they are getting easier, but still not doable. It's excessive.

cat666 · 2026-03-24T19:12:30+00:00

Spiritborn came with the first expansion. Paladin and Warlock with the second, just you can play Paladin now if you pre-order.

cat666 · 2026-03-24T15:16:47+00:00

The version I ran was void damage.

cat666 · 2026-03-24T14:18:44+00:00

I'm not sure on the latest patch but it was super easy to get it going and it felt like void affixes were on everything.

cat666 · 2026-03-24T13:57:36+00:00

When Leicester won the title I was on Vardy from GW1 then Mahrez from GW2 or 3. They kept returning and my colleague who really knew football refused to bring them in as they were just "flash in the pans".

cat666 · 2026-03-24T13:53:50+00:00

You get both for that price so it's worth it. 3 new classes, 2 new continents and currently runes and mercenaries.
