Re: Get ready, Tenno. (Warframe)

So, killing Eidolons on the Plains of Eidolon at night is basically the new raid-type challenge. Doing so I think is far more fun than the raids previously released, as much as I like the idea of raids or dungeons being present. To get started, you have to have completed the Second Dream and War Wit...

Re: Star Wars: Cost of Hope

I'll be a bit late to the game tonight, unfortunately - I made plans to see Wonder Woman with a friend, but I might be up to an hour late for the game due to the timing.

Re: Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar

Also, once you get into The Slag Hills, quest rewards (and drops from enemies there) can give you normal and high quality versions of what the Host of the West vendors want, so you don't have to craft them all yourself. In fact, they drop often enough here that the grind to get blue or gold items fo...

Re: Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar

Addendum to above: you can get further Ithilien Essence Scraps for the Fellowship versions of the quests Skoironk and Tower of Teeth (located in the Slag Hills). However, the primary reason for running the fellowship versions of those quests is to get your hands on Tarnished Gondor Sigils, which are...

The recent quests have slowly begun to feel more like adventures, instead of formulaic mission types with fancy window-dressing - which in fai...

Re: Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar

A few quick things: 1. North Ithilien (in Henneth Annun specifically) has the daily quests which allow you to get access to the best essences in the game. That tier of Essences do not include Finesse, but they do include Vitality (which offer a secondary boost to Phys. Mastery) instead. ( Essence Co...

Re: Get ready, Tenno. (Warframe)

DE's added a Rocket League-like game mode for team play already, which is cool. They're apparently working on a Shadows of Mordor-type Nemesis system, wherein you have to do missions to uncover info about a particular named enemy, isolate that boss from resources, and then take them down. So, more s...

Re: Trump advisors aim to privatize oil-rich Indian reservat

Well the Trump administration is really hard to predict because of Trump's general erraticness and the fact that we simply don't know how much power he's going to wield compared to his cabinet. It's just that what i'm reading here seems more intended to removing what they see as an oppressive Feder...

Re: Trump advisors aim to privatize oil-rich Indian reservat

It sounds like the main thrust is easing Federal regulation on the use of Indian land, and privatization is only seen as a possible means of doing it. This is significantly less bad that trying to privatize the land for its own sake. Also i'm not sure that they can actually legally privatize it, si...

Trump advisors aim to privatize oil-rich Indian reservations

Native American reservations cover just 2 percent of the United States, but they may contain about a fifth of the nation’s oil and gas, along with vast coal reserves. Now, a group of advisors to President-elect Donald Trump on Native American issues wants to free those resources from what they call...

Honestly, I'm up for either starting over again with remade characters (since I'd like to redesign Fehl for the new system anyway), or just continuing where we left off with reworked characters. I think either way, we're going to be redoing our characters from scratch with the new rules, but I'm com...

So, something I discovered that most people now know, but I'll share regardless. Wardens can apparently be very close to as good as Champions are at single-target DPS, and at AoE DPS - despite the DPS mainly coming from stacking bleeds rather than straight damage. However, Champions have a skill tha...
