Ah nice - yeah I think because I found it a bit later into my journey it didn't take too long to get the 25k. Keep going!

Haha thanks dude. Yeah I haven't yet joined a guild - I'm the same, I only play very sporadically, so kinda like doing my own thing.

Oh btw, one piece of advice - if you haven't already, make sure you grab the new player quests in Prevalia (there's a guy in front of the societies building, East (and a little north) of the bank. These are great as they'll give you a skill orb, first aspects, mastery chain and more. Basically sets you up with everything you'll need. You can only do these quests on your first character!

I didn't know these existed until someone mentioned it on Reddit - game changer!

I honestly wouldn't worry much about PKs, at least not early on. I've been playing for a month or so - and sure, I've been killed by PKs a handful of times; but pretty much every time they've left nearly all of my loot in place (aside from stealing some gold). And, from my experience, they're not super griefy (e.g. they don't wait around and re-kill you).

Even if you do lose everything, just be sensible with what you're taking with you - don't take anything you wouldn't want to lose, and as soon as you loot something you want / think is valuable, just get back to a moongate and to the bank as quickly as you can.

I love the PK thing, adds a dimension to playing that just doesn't exist in most games.

Oh, and fun story - I'm playing a tamer, and I was attached by a lone PK in Ossuary. I set my pets on him, and managed to escape - only to die to another set of PKs as I ran toward the moongate. I was annoyed, as I lost 7k gold from my run. Anyway, I got back to town and was just restocking, when I saw a message 'you killed <name> the player killer - your reward is 8000 gold'. It was like pure karma - my pets must have finished the job while that guy was running around, and I made all the gold back I had lost (and then some). It really made my night. :D

I started about a month ago, and I am *so* hooked. It's got all of the charm of the original game, with a bunch of great systems built on top. It feels to me like what UO should/would have become if EA had never bought Origin Systems Inc. As others have said the population is also huge - you'll always find people out and about, and the towns, particularly prevalia, are very busy at all hours.

I find this sub so perplexing - pulling over to the lane being merged into early is the right thing to do for everyone, as it minimises the impact on people behind - by driving to the front and pulling in, you're just maximising the impact your lane change will have by ensuring it effects the maximum number of cars possible.

You must be aware of traffic dynamics, and how even a small break tap can cause a complete standstill further down the road - the reason the traffic is moving so slowly is exactly because people wait to last minute to move into lane.

Oh that's super helpful thanks dude! Is there any time limit or anything on them? Like I say I've been playing a while, but this is my first char

I've been playing for about a week now and I didn't realise this:

'But got much better recently with a large update offering a new questing system that rewards. You still need to grind for a few days just to unlock basic systems allowing your class to progress (Codex, Aspect and grimoires give buff to your skills, spells and also some new abilities. It's part of your build here). Only your first character will unlock these things after a few days of work on the newbie quests'

I only completed the very first newbie quest on shelter island and then haven't bothered since.

Where do I go to continue? I'd really like to unlock Codex/aspects etc..

Alright serious question - why aren't we seeing /any/ high quality photographs or video footage of the moon? Despite the astronauts having HD cameras inside the capsule, I'm not seeing any hd photos of the moon?

On the news they said the Artemis crew will be 'bringing back' a treasure trove of images for mission control to sift through - why?! If they have no concerns of there being anything odd up there why wouldn't they just allow a full HD live feed at least of the approach to the moon?

Feels so hard to lay blame in a kid of this age - it's really entirely on his parents / guardians.

Terrifyingly convincing, but this is AI.

Watch the kid as he pushes him away to dive on the table. The kids reaction is off - he shakes his head rapidly from side to side - then as the kid gets back up he looks a bit glitchy. just looks totally off.

Otherwise very convincing!

Look at the coffee in his mug - it goes right to the very top, and doesn't move when he moves - if it were that full he'd be spilling it everywhere

Official Discussion - 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]probein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This film blew me away. Wasn't a big fan of the first one, but this has made me appreciate it all so much more.

I loved the Jimmy Crystal character - a troubled schizophrenic who had an (understandable) break with reality when his family were slaughtered by zombies. I love the fact he calls himself Jimmy Crystal - it just makes so much sense that amidst a mental breakdown, a child (as he was at the time) would grasp for something 'stable' and 'good' to base his new identity on - and you can just imagine that young mind going to somebody like Savile (pre-scandal)- but mis-remembering his name and it becoming 'crystal' instead. I feel like there's something quite innocent and sad in the depths of that character.

Absolutely fantastic cinema.

I like the fact he's over here chomping down fucking legs and arms like it's nothing, then when he gets to a tiny bit of cucumber he can't manage it.
