The baseline is around 1300 for activities IIRC. The higher level stuff require you to be higher. Once I hit 1300 progress slowed to a crawl and once I got the 1320....I wished it was still crawl. 

 

So in other words, i am better at going back to Monster Hunter World than wasting time on Density 2?

Thanks for the advice 😉

Getting to 1300 should be pretty easy. They want people to be able to do basic stuff. I got from 1100s to 1300 fast, that's when things began to slow. Being in a decent clan helps. The clan rewards will be above you light level even at 1300.

I don't doubt that.

Is just that while i am having fun on D2 at the moment, thinking of having to grind x3 to try to reach a power level to be effective on the activities is kind of -_-

 

On MonHun i can compensate the lack of something with skill, but on D2 i can't do much about it if the enemies are at a certain levels above me 😕

The game ask for a commitment to it that basically makes it the only game you should be playing, or at least the one you spend most of your time, and i don't want to go back to those days being honest, where Destiny was the only thing i was playing, because the chase of x or y loot + getting to the max light level.

 

It was basically why i dropped D2, since it was more of the same + the terribleness of D2 year 1 🤣

D2 Year 1 was was fucking awful.  For me it wasn't until Forsaken released that the game got playable.  But even then, I started a new routine of playing every time a new Expansion came out (Shadowkeep, Beyond Light, etc.) and play for a couple months until I got bored.

 

But right now I feel like Destiny is in a great place. There is actually a shit ton of content to help you get pinnacle drops to level up to 1330:

 

-Three weekly strikes

-Three weekly Crucible matches

-Three Gambit matches

-Nightfall 100K

-Dungeon (For me it was Prophecy, but now it's Avarice)

-Presage

-Harbinger

-Exo Challenge

-Vault of Glass (at least four pinnacle drops)

-Hawthorne Clan rewards

-Iron Bananas (when available)

 

 It took me about two or three weeks after hitting the hard cap of 1320 to hit the pinnacle cap of 1330.  I'm actually having a lot of fun with Dares of Eternity, and I think the Master level of it gives pinnacle gear, too.

 

One thing about Grandmaster NF is that it has contest modifier, meaning your level is capped at 1345 (1330 plus 15 bonus from artifact).  So no matter how much higher than 1345 you are, it doesn't matter.  So as soon as you hit 1345 you're good to go to do it.

Old news, but man, that sucks 😕

Sadly unsurprising. For all the bellyaching  and tantrums throw about DRM, people sure don't put their money where their mouths are. I've long been convinced that fits about DRM are enormously more driven by a) bandwagon douchebaggery and b) people upset about piracy being made a little more difficult than legitimate concerns about DRM tanking performance.

But Knuckles is right there 🤔

And the whole legal issue is more complicated iirc, where there is this nebulous thing going on about his chars.

Hecatom is right, even if Pender's own his characters. If they are going to look like Sonic the Hedgehog Characters, Sega still can make claims of damages.

Sega and Archie already did that song and dance with Penders and they lost.  They aren't going to bother trying to for round 2 when they can just avoid it altogether and let Penders keep his characters that he has NO FUCKING CLUE what to do with.  On the topic of look like Sonic characters...

That's him...drawing his characters now...I'm sure Sega is perfectly ok.

Meanwhile the Mobious Unleashed site manages to have more appealing characters, and that shit still looks like is being drawn by 12 yo who got their furry awakening. 🤣

I really don't want to flood my mind palace with any more of Pender's drawings so I'll take your word for it.   I've seen enough of what I stumbled across whenever his name happens to end up being the topic of a conversation.

Got this video on my feedback, and decided to give it a watch.

Man, besides never finding the appeal of watching the OW League; i understand playing the game, it is fun, but imo, is not really a good spectators game; i find ludicrous that you have to spend like 20 million to be part of it.

 

Like, wow, imagine fg tournaments to be only "invitational", in that you have to pay millions to be allowed to participate.

 

It is why i find humorous and sad that fgs, games that are super easy to follow, and their torunaments are open to everyone are not even in the radar for most people 🥲

 

Also, side note, i would kill for all fgs to be as "dead" as OW, as many OW players claim it is 🤣

More Diablo 4 stuff popped up recently in my recommended section

 

...still breaks my heart that this will be online-only on all platforms though.  That's probably going to kill my sale right there.... I don't know... I just really despise supporting the *worst* thing ever to happen in the games industry....at least in my opinion it's the worst....and it's even more depressing when you remember that oh yes... most gamers have no problem with it, so there's no escaping this becoming the future of the entire industry at some point very soon.

I think its funny that you have to say that its satire else most of these dorks would be all over the nets trying to find out why the fuck nintendo would do that or some shit.  lol

 

Found this cool little fun game called A Distant Stabbing.  Its like a puzzle game I guess and its simple to pick up.  You have a guy and you shoot arrows.  You end up where the arrow lands (teleport style or something).  The arrows ricochet.  Try to make it to the top.  It makes me rage a bit.  lol

George R.R. says Working on Elden Ring was "Too Exciting to Refuse"

https://www.ign.com/articles/working-elden-ring-too-exciting-george-r-r-martin

 

He only worked on the backstory for the game and building the world and apparently had it done years ago before he handed it off to From Software.  His world building is the reason why this game has more lore focus/characterization than some other From Software games.

 

Chad Stahelski, directer of the GoTsu movie, says he "just wants to get it right"

https://www.ign.com/articles/ghost-of-tsushima-movie-director-do-it-right

 

Apparently the director has played GoTsu many times so sounds like he's at least done his homework.

 

The Witcher: Blood Origin announced at the end of Season 2, will be a prequel set set 1200 years before Geralt's adventures, Michelle Yeoh will star.

Everyone here knows that the HardDrive is the Onion of videogames, if anything, having to say that is satire tells us that Dark probably felt for one of their articles that was posted here before, same for you, seeing how you jumped to that conclusion  🤣

Idk why but I think this is pushed back to coincide with an all-in-one pixel collection release on the Switch and it’ll be announced in a February direct 
 

the Switch has been helping Squee print money and imo it’s not a matter of if but when the pixel collection comes to switch

First fuck off. 

Second, read the comments. 

Third, I expect most if you to operate on a 3rd grade education

On a related topic, 

This was on the replies of the tweet 

 

https://www.washingtonpost.com/arts-entertainment/2021/12/17/eric-clapton-bootleg-cd-lawsuit-germany/

 

Quote

After Clapton’s legal team reached out to the woman, she replied, “I object and ask you not to harass or contact me any further,” according to the Guardian. She also allegedly told Clapton’s legal team that they should “feel free to file a lawsuit if you insist on the demands.”

God damn did this lady fuck around and find out.   At first I thought this was really shitty move on the part of Clapton and his team (it still very much is)  but the fact that they contacted her about it and that was her response lol.
