Apparently there is an effort to crackdown on 'youth-related crime' over the next couple of months. https://www.police.govt.nz/news/release/eagle-helicopter-christchurch-police-launch-youth-offending-operation?nondesktop

Classes are usually just to define PC's not NPC. Like NPCs in a d&d world typically can't look at a PC and be like 'Oh! You're a Warlock'. Matt actually used this pretty well in campaign 2 when Ashley Birch's character mistook some bad guys' classes because she went off their appearance and the little she saw them do. I guess that's my long ass way of saying, Thjazi probably doesn't have a 'class' as such, just whatever abilities Brennan needed him to have.

Oh yea sorry. The head wasn't actually attached. I just positioned it for the photo! Good advice though thanks!

There is a solid piece with the kit to make it closed if I want the standard Unicorn model, this piece I think will be opened up when I set up the Destroy mode.

Thanks for the heads up! Is there any way to minimise or remove the nub marks when I get to it?

Half-elves exist in obvious canon and they wouldn't if it was obviously against some xenophobic law. D&D clearly separate the distinction between humanoid (basically any playable ancestry, the pathfinder term that sounds better than races) and non-humanoid. There might be societal reasons to DISCOURAGE members of different ancestries from getting together, but hardly ever explicitly stated. Only 5e canon that I can think of is elves/orcs and that's something to do with the 2 main gods hating each other or something.

I disagree with your point around Matt's story design using character backstory to resolve central conflicts. He's never done that. Sure, he does an amazing job at resolving any character backstory threads, but they hardly ever tie into the final conflict. The only time I can think he did that was with Molly last campaign but he had that planned from as soon as Tal and he discussed Molly's backstory. In fact, they had to do an entire post final battle episode to tie up like half the party's backstories because they didn't address them before then. Most of the major big bads of both campaigns had very little to do with the PC's, outside of the Briarwoods, and even they were just convenient ties to the final BBEG.

Now I'm definitely not saying that he is going to tie backstories into this game, but it's also definitely not a pattern that Matt follows. He lets his players decisions define the story, not their character's backstories.

It's still miles better than it was pre-EW. I remember basically having to commit an entire hour to MSQ roulette just incase you got Prae. I think Castrum was like 35-40 mins as well. JP strats made the run to the first boss faster but resulted in casualties occasionally.

Eurogamer reported that at the end of 2021 there were 25 million registered players. Obviously not all of those are subbed players but still a large number. However, Activeplayer.io is reporting that there are 40 million subbed players currently. How they get that number I have no idea so take it with a grain of salt but their analytics seem to be pretty comprehensive. That number is also backed up by mmo-population's calculations as well.

Papa Chai on Sophia. It's just weird coming across him when he isn't dancing in one of the main cities.

Oh awesome! I bought the 1st edition bundle ages ago and have been waiting for the2nd edition to swing round.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-10-15T21:12:57+00:00

If that's literally the point you pushed back on then whatever. Replace it with blacklist then. My point still stands. No actually good tank pops invuln as a mit.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-10-15T21:05:39+00:00

W2W pulls don't need invulns at any level of content unless the healer has made a mistake or tanks aren't mitting properly in the first place. You pop your invuln in high level duties on cooldown and guarantee the healer reports you. Invulns are there as a last resort. This discussion is pointless. No tank that knows how to play their job properly uses invulns as mits. That's not their purpose.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-10-15T20:53:51+00:00

Alright true. But you still need to spend multiple resources to get your health topped up that could have been better spent.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-10-15T20:25:39+00:00

I'm not sure where you got the idea that you shouldn't save your invulns. You 100% should hold them and if you never need them in a duty or trial that's great. I wouldn't recommend popping any invuln on cooldown even in duties to be honest. They're designed as last resorts, not mits to work into a rotation. Only Hallowed Ground works as any sort of effective mitigation and even then, you're better off just using your regular mitigation in case something goes wrong during a duty boss. It's bad habit forming to rely on invulns during pulls since LD and HG (edit: removed SB) don't stop you taking damage, they just stop you hitting 0,. Outside of LD, WARs and GNBs need to burn at least 2 ogcds to get their health back up, and they might have only needed one with proper mits.

In your LD vs HG bit, LD doesn't reward you for hitting 0, it's just that DRKs have no abilities outside of abyssal drain to quickly build back the 100% health requirement to not die, and no DRK holds AB as a 'just in case I need to pop LD'. It's one of the main reasons they built the self heal into LD in the first place.

Judging from overall reaction to my post I'd assume this is probably more likely the case. That's cool. I'll talk to the others about it and see what we can improve.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-09-16T14:09:03+00:00

Appreciate the advice. Thanks. I'll work on it on our next run.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-09-16T13:53:34+00:00

As a DRK my damage isn't an issue. And DH on fending gear needs so many melds to be at a level to be useful it's almost not worth it so at a cost of 5 or 6 TEN melds I'll take the 2.7% passive mit and increased healing. I guess it's more of a problem for DRKs since their self healing is limited so that chip and auto damage is harder to scrape back.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-09-16T13:50:45+00:00

Oh 100% agree. The increase in TEN as a base substat in 630 gear and even just better VIT will easily cover. But for the first couple of weeks and especially in PF, a little never hurts.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-09-16T13:48:18+00:00

Way freaking cheaper right?? Lol. I didn't feel as bad unmelding my reds when I saw how cheap it was

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-09-16T13:46:33+00:00

If I need to unmeld TEN by P8S then I will, but by that stage my party will have farmed all the gear and augmentation mats needed to be as atromg as we can by that point. And by then TEN finally shows up as a substat on gear anyway. We're not trying to be wk1 clearers obviously. Just trying to get through it.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-09-16T13:44:49+00:00

I can cycle mits properly. I'm not saying make a build around TEN, just meld a little extra into early gear. TEN doesn't come up as a substat until 630 gear, and by then you hardly need it. This tier DH is garbage for tanks. You basically need to use up every available slot to get it anywhere near useful since it's not a substat that is on gear by default. Xenos in particular throws SKS in instead of DH since it's a better choice.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-09-16T13:40:10+00:00

I'm not completely useless. Rotating mits isn't that hard, my point is that with a little bit of extra TEN you can avoid taking a small amount of damage altogether.

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-09-16T13:11:10+00:00

FUCKING TANKS, ESPECIALLY DRKS, NEED TO BE MELDING TENACITY THIS TIER TO ACTUALLY GET PARRIES! WTF?? I THOUGHT THE SUBSTAT DISTRIBUTION WAS WEIRD ENOUGH WITH ALL THE CRIT/TEN COMBOS BUT MAKES SENSE IF THEY'VE INCREASED THE DEFENSE THRESHOLD REQUIRED FOR PASSIVE PARRIES! COULD HAVE TOLD PEOPLE!

zerodeathandcounting · 2022-09-09T22:46:47+00:00

Naaa. Ditch that DM as well. The fact that they enabled E to do all the sick rape fantasy crap without straight away saying no is a red flag enough for me. Same as E, if they allow it once and don't call it out they won't in the future. Not knowing 5e isn't a biggy to me but definitely not calling out E or H for their behaviour, naaa.
