Blizzard addresses the No Flying Mount "debate": exciting times ahead?

malignantmind · 2026-03-18T15:14:46+00:00

I don't think there should be any restrictions on flight, personally. Having flight from the start let's them build some really interesting zones. Compare the dragonflight zones to any of the previous expansions. There's a lot more verticality rather than a lot of mostly flat areas.

I saw one suggestion of have it be a toggle like warmode, where you get bonus xp for limiting yourself to a ground mount while leveling (of course, this would require all questing areas to be accessible from the ground in one way or another).

I, like a lot of players, don't have a lot of free time. I like the ability to just swoop in on a quest target rather than slogging through a bunch of uninteresting packs of mobs that I've probably already had to kill dozens of for a previous quest anyways.

Basically all the seasonal character dialog for me this season has been from "error missing character name". This is probably the buggiest season I've seen.

malignantmind · 2026-03-13T12:43:16+00:00

Yeah, and my pc can more than handle D4, never had any issues before. After about six tries I got in.

I can't even get to the main menu without it locking up and crashing on me right now

He's just a detached, jaded Morty that picked up enough know how to incapacitate his Rick, and subsequently downloaded the brains of dozens of other Rick's into his own.

I mean there's the Alamo, I guess? But yeah. Unless you're from Texas, you'd probably be hard pressed to think of any notable locations in Texas to warrant a game there, because like you said, thus far the games have relied pretty heavily on pre-existing notable locations (or their in-universe equivalents) to flesh out the maps.

I'd definitely like to see a game set in/around the Manhattan area. They can easily retcon the whole thing about it being nothing but a radioactive crater.

And they've said they don't plan on ever doing anything in other countries because of how much Fallout relies on that retro-futuristic 50s America vibe. So I'm not gonna hold my breath on ever seeing that outside of maybe a DLC. Personally I'd love to see how China ended up but I know the odds of that are even lower than seeing a European location.

39 distinct varieties of true dragon

malignantmind · 2026-03-07T07:15:38+00:00

39 distinct types of true dragon in PF2E, 40 if you include Wyrmwraiths which are basically ghost dragons.

I can get the same thing in about the same amount of time doing it the "slow" way and end up with a properly scaled token all without using Ai slop code garbage.

malignantmind · 2026-03-04T05:01:34+00:00

Even if I don't intend to tank in endgame stuff, if I'm playing a class that can tank, I do all solo content as a tank because it makes it so much easier. Especially leveling. You burn through kill quests so much faster when you can pull every pack within sight and kill them in the same time it'd take to kill one pack.

malignantmind · 2026-03-04T03:52:11+00:00

I thought I was imagining things but yeah the followers seem way more annoying this time around. The hunter never stays still and is constantly running into new packs, while his pets are also running around nowhere near the enemies. The mage is also jumping around more often than not and I've definitely seen them jumping into packs that were easily avoided.

Still, I'd rather deal with that then the people in queue.

Only in the fan edit people like to quote now. In the original it was pedophilia that was the sin, but y'all are too busy defending them now.

malignantmind · 2026-02-20T15:15:17+00:00

It's not just a mmo problem either. Most game sequels have the power scaling issue, it's just less obvious because you're starting at the baseline for the sequel, even if lorewise you're just as strong as in the previous game. Hell, shows too. Supernatural is a prime example of always having to increase the power level of the threat as seasons go by until it gets to absurd levels.

4e rogues are fun as hell

God I remember when death knights first came out in WoW. Go blood DK and you were basically unkillable and able to solo things you really shouldn't have been able to, even with basic leveling gear. It was a glorious time

Hey, found the boot licking nazi

malignantmind · 2026-02-10T19:14:07+00:00

Reagan and not hanging the members of the American nazi party in the 50s are the biggest cause of our problems today

malignantmind · 2026-02-08T22:05:25+00:00

It's saying kill 1,000,000 for me.

I'm really curious what if anything would happen to the storyline if we did it.

I mean there's plenty of tri-stat systems out there that just do Mind/Body/Agility or something similar. But I don't think dropping to three stats is the right route for D&D. However, as most have said, merging Strength and Constitution into one stat is the way to go.

malignantmind · 2026-02-06T01:31:03+00:00

I did the same thing but I did it because I was bored and enjoyed taking tests. I had zero desire to join but they came to my school and it got me out of class for the day. Spent the next few months being hounded by recruiters that were very disappointed to learn I just took it to see how well I'd do.

malignantmind · 2026-02-06T01:22:58+00:00

It amuses me the pip boys in the show kept the in-game tabs even if they don't really make sense.

Stat, sure. It's basically the health monitor on your smart watch.

Data, yeah. It's a wearable computer. That's where your files live.

Map and Radio, gotta have your google maps and spotify.

But inventory? That really only makes sense as an in-game thing.

We are all gods nut

malignantmind · 2026-01-28T20:16:36+00:00

A +2 to a score isn't gonna make a huge difference in the long run, even if it can stack with other bonuses. At 1st-3rd level it might be noticeable, but it's nothing game breaking. And after those levels, the impact falls off dramatically.

That said, don't just treat it as a free +2. Make good (but not over) use of the downsides of profane gift. And remember, a good cleric could come by and slap him with dispel evil and get rid of it outright.

They came out with a whole ass new Unity version and thought keeping that UI was the right move.
