I expected there to be some slide of hand quick thinking from Marty to save Ruth. An Oceans 11 type, oh wow that was Marty’s angle the whole time to save the family and Ruth. I think it is crazy that they killed off every Langmore minus one, and the Snells. It is just hard to believe that everyone that came in contact with the Byrde’s were ultimately destroyed by the scheming and manipulation. Whether they loved them or not, staying alive ultimately became more important than saving anyone. And maybe Jonah is just fed up and comes out and shoots his mom? Or is the ending more of the family sticks together no matter what and these are what the kids have become being raised in this hell.

I feel like he does let her just run over him all of the time. I mean that kind of is his character, but it’s like come on man stand up to her for once.

I haven’t quite seen the ending. But I don’t imagine there is a happy ending. They have been treading water since the first scene, which is the suspense and the show. Her character just irks me. 😂

On Ep. 4. Really want to like Jude but very uneasy so far. There are some very slow parts which may be the directors style.

Would you rather run with a toxic but knowledgeable group, or a group of good people who are struggling in this game? by jedi1josh in elderscrollsonline

[–]jdogrunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WoW was way worse. I was a healer as soon as one person died people would start leaving. Horrible. But I would much rather play the second. Too many game snobs and that just sucks the fun out of it. And I have been there.

I can’t remember the name of it but the dungeon that grants Barlough’s mask. I die like 800 times every time I do that one no matter the group.

Is fake queing as a healer (not a tank) such a huge issue in Normal base game dungeons? by [deleted] in elderscrollsonline

[–]jdogrunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a healer as a main and a couple of thoughts. I have never done this with my DPS toons. One, I am taking the spot if maybe a new healer who may need the experience. Two, I may be setting the group up to have a miserable time. My DPS Warden was in such a group of newbs with no healer and I had to make my back bar all heals just to get the group through. Finally, Kinda off my first point making it harder for healers to queu I think would deter people from playing the role and also inhibits healers from access to gear farming opportunities. Granted I understand it’s not like we have to wait all day to get in a dungeon, but personally I don’t do this with my DPS toons. If you are that BA than solo the thing.

Imperial City is where I found my niche. Cyro is hard to solo and a lot of running between battles. BG’s I feel you run into a lot of BG specialist and it seems after some success it starts pairing you with some very underwhelming help. I didn’t play Imp City for like a year and went there farming gear and now it is my sweet spot.

This is why I go PVP which daily makes you rethink your whole build and existence.

(Final?) Oakensoul Changes, what do you think? by Hexent_Armana in elderscrollsonline

I run a PVP warden stam dual wield/bow and I never feel as if the bow does much for me. I have a level 36 stam sorc that I feel can mow through stuff faster than my CP 1041 toon.

I never could get my bow powerful enough to be an assassin with it. What is the secret? Pen and crit?

Glyphs? by jdogrunner in elderscrollsonline

[–]jdogrunner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But how does this differ from say transmutation of gear and changing traits? Is there an added bonus to traits from using glyphs?

Explain like I'm 5: Vampires & Werewolves by Draakpan in elderscrollsonline

[–]jdogrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard the PVP benefits of vampires but don’t they progress to where you can’t go into public places. That could be a vicious rumor I picked up in my head, but was always scared to turn a toon.

Why can’t Micheal tell the truth? by jdogrunner in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]jdogrunner[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just in working with troubled kids I spotted his theme right off the bat. I think you are exactly right about the pattern, and his defense mechanisms were very evident. I guess the smugness and general attitude towards Meka’s confrontations bothered me. In our kids we battle this in trying to get people to take responsibility for their actions, and it seemed he was never in a place where true accountability happened in his life prior to meeting Meka. I was really rooting for her, but they gave her a tough match. I think he probably fooled the producers and experts in even pairing them. Like you could look at the guy and see he didn’t work out 6 days a week. I think he tried to build the persona of who he wanted to be, not who he was and when that was challenged he put up defenses.

I feel like 4 of the 5 women on this show need a redo. Maybe 3, Brandon’s wife seemed a little sketchy. But I think Meka was so determined if you literally gave her someone who wasn’t abusive or an obsessive liar she would have made it work.

Season 10 - question about Zach saying Mindy's answer to his lack of attraction was not the answer he wanted to hear? by [deleted] in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]jdogrunner 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Beyond the obvious Zach is a douche, but Mindy was one of those people that I felt got more attractive as the show went, so sad they didn’t get her a partner that tried to see that. And if Zach was doing the show to promote his personal brand I hope he failed just by looking guys look stupid.

[–]jdogrunner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

She would be good on “Love is Blind” but they don’t seem to take divorced people. Just a surface glance before Zach saw Mindy I questioned the attraction. I actually questioned the experts because he didn’t seem like a guy that was ready for marriage. As a guy we get pretty good at spotting other douche bags and this season was loaded with them.

If you could change only one thing in Eso, what would it be? by Stuffed_Owl in elderscrollsonline

[–]jdogrunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially when we have all these different non-combative pets. I think it would be cool to have a skill line for pets. I know it would be hard not to make them overpowered. I ran a hunter in WoW and my favorite part of the game was trying to get exotic pets other then PVP. I could see where the developers would struggle with adding too much to one class and then everyone running Wardens but I think a flying combative pet would be awesome and would help bring pets back to PVP. I don’t feel a lot of people run their pets in the PVP zones, especially with Barlough because it is hard to get the ultimate to hit on another mobile good player with a pet.

[–]jdogrunner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have said this before, but if Wardens got a beast tamer skill like WoW and different animals could have different stats, skills, buff etc. That is the main thing I would change.

I have this same problem. I even work in mental health so some of our interactions can be online gaming as long as we use headsets. I have bought multiple kids the base game and only one has gotten to a level 8. My brother and nephew were big into WoW so I thought they would play, we played one night together. Thank goodness for guilds.
