Getting use out of gym membership is the bear minimum. You’re not actually getting gains until you’ve got your own garage gym and blasting heavy metal for the neighborhood.

I’ll have you know I am to referred to as LORD Officeman of Accountants hillshire, slayer of corporate taxes, and founder of hawaiian shirt day.

Fiery Dragon swords for everyone.

if we’re still bashing ranger anyway, I wanna point out it the only class that has all the traits to do serious damage, but the designers purposefully makes them all mutually exclusive to each other. Its the one class that struggles with that as a core design principle.

Mass effect fails as an example, because it proved it couldn’t work beyond a single arc. By ME3 they almost completely abandoned narrative pathing, and then back loaded the choice and ending decision to a 3 option menu. There are simply too many permutations to track across multiple stories, each addding to the pile.

Which is why you’re not the Commander. You’re the Pubah, the way finder, the champion, the bane of Tyria. None of these disasters would had happened under Joko’s watch. But you just had to slay him!! And now the world suffers more in the wake of your “success”. Praise Joko!!!!

The 3 act structure is a myth. It is not the be all end all of story design. Ever hear of a tragedy? For the greater the heights of the protagonist, the grander the fall in the finale. This need not be malicious either. For emotional scars develop character, and add depth to a heroes motivation and way of thinking. Plus what if its a 4 act story like the old Diablo games used to do?

if every mastery were like that it would become mandatory, and thus everyone must have them. at least with filler no one cares

ironically most modern games are like that under the hood

for exotics you want the black lion salvage kit, if you can get it for cheap or free, and depending on if the rune or stat is worth keeping. I keep a BL kit around for those occasions.

cheapest by far is getting 5 jackpot ecto gambles in a row.

new players don’t do that kind of math. much less justify the cost in objective terms. leggy armor has that problem in spades. most players only want it because its the highest tier, but complain about the cost to make it. asc is a small scale version of that. if you’re playing at a level where it can make a difference, you can reasonably afford it, or at least know how to afford it. So how I explain it is ask what are you doing that justifies it. The answer I’d like to hear more of, but never do, is “I may as well”. Usually it sounds like people think high tier gear will carry them, like it does in other games.

I’d say easy stat swapping and reusable is a nice advantage.

beast armors are the least popular in this game. They should do Nier crossover instead, so we can get proper hot topic goth outfits.

Sounds like Metal Gear. So giant mechs? Cyborg Charr vs Senator Memes. “Magitech, son”.

and mist nodules you can only make during strikes by doing a jumping puzzle before the boss dies

loot is unimportant. that is how you don’t fall into the trap WOW creates. crafting is king. crafting is fair. crafting is stable. you can always get what you want. and in the off season you get even more value off the economy. because it sure as hell beats the old days where legendary gear required some to get a lucky drop and decide to sell it for a not insane price.

oh you sweet summer child. the chaos that can be sewn by training mobs and then disappearing on top of some rando minding their own business.

they do that. but it has to go nowhere, because players get jealous easily. during LW4 theres a a couple of story missions that give you options if you’re an engineer. in the end you get extra turrets in a fight, that don’t help much. designing really good scenarios end up causing people to meta game it. imagine people demanding only one class to do a world boss. thats how low the IQ bar is for pugs.

if it made farming easier, you’d change your mind in a heart beat. intimidate mobs into dropping more rare mts

mithirl is getting eatten up to make legendary armor. with no legendary weapons in high demand, wood has a chance to stock pile. Now would be a good time to consider processing curios for gen 2 legendaries if you plan on getting one

I love it too when people suggest a work around thats more complicated than the fix it self. Like when the database channels broke down, and some maps were crashing, and people were saying they should make the servers save itself so of it crashes, it can restore itself to the state before crashing. wtf do you think a recovery system is? you need a working database to do that. and if you do that you’ve fixed the original problem.

It was almost entirely an in-joke. Every game that has a mode with one or two people trying to coordinate large groups of pugs will inevitably be compared to herding cats. Cats are the opposite of herd animals, as they do not follow instructions without excessive effort to train. Hence the catmander tag represents one attempting to herd cats.
