  1. Past hour
  2. Today
  3. Arcane Archer/Ascendant with Frostseeker/Essence Interrupter is very fun and versatile. Pale elf mystic of course with bear pet bodyguard... Once you can use scrolls of Avenging Storm and Imbue:Eora you will feel almost like cheating. If you equip a companion with items with "Reflect against Spells" (Mirrorback, Collar of Eothas' Light, Cabalist's Gambeson) you can also reflect Ancestor's Memory on yourself if you repeatedly cast it on him. For companions Eder, Aloth, Pallegina and Xoti are solid choices.
  4. so silver will be restricted soon it really look more and more like 1840
  5. Essence Interrupter of course - for the shock damage and the range mostly. Amaliorra or Eccea Arcane Blaster are also viable but require a penetration buff and you have to be closer to Dorudugan...
  6. I have a similar problem. What seems to be happening is I can create and run shared worlds but once started, I am not allowed to access them again. My friend is able to see them. We appear to have been able to narrow the problem down to the Microsoft. I have tried playing my copy on different hardware and networks. I even connected my account through my friends setup, the one that doesn't have his problem. When I use my account on his system, he cannot access shared worlds any more.
  7. I appear to be having a similar issue. None of my shared world would appear. A friend and I appear to have narrowed it down to cloud saves not being accessible. I used to be able to create and share worlds but I think I have hit my max of three. So I cannot make any new shared worlds. I believe I can even access my invisible shared worlds if I try to create a new shared world with the same name as one of my three. It is as if my XBox account is able to send but, not receive. We are not sure how to fix this. I went into services to make sure certain programs are running. I even logged into my friends setup. He isn't having this problem and my problem persists.
  8. Is it a single player world? You are saying "we", which sounds like multiplayer.
  9. I have had a similar problem. A friend and I have narrowed it down to the cloud saves not being accessible for me. It is like I can send stuff out but, it won't come back. The problem is we have not figured out a fix for it. In attempts to debug this I appear to have maxed out the number of three shared worlds I can host. My friend is able to see and access them but I am not able to access them.
  10. I think that's a combined (rough) estimate. How Many Died in the American Civil War? 2% of the population; the deadliest war in US history.
  11. Yesterday
  12. Yep, still broken on PS5. I was looking forward to finishing the game after a couple months, but I guess I'm shelving it still. Maybe they'll fix it someday or I'll feel like replaying from the beginning someday.
  13. Because in terms of game mechanics, Bloodmage is generally the superior subclass over any other (and vanilla). A non-subclass Wizard has the only advantage that he/she could use Empower and has a little better basic sturdyness. Both is not relevant for this build. A Bloodmage can replenish spell casts as often as he/she likes (and if there's enough healing). This is relevant for this build since - once there's enough stacks of recovery bonus - you can spam spells a lot faster. Later you want to cast Wall of Draining in combo with a heal over time asap - and also as often as necessary.
  14. https://www.gog.com/blog/gog-is-getting-acquired-by-its-original-co-founder-what-it-means-for-you/ Might not be all that indicative of anything, though.
  15. Game of Thrones' final seasons set the bar so low that a show is going to have to do much worse than Stranger Things to ruin the show. But yes, I agree, that is also part of what @Bartimaeus mentioned. The characters (or most of them, anyway) had complete story arcs in the first season, leaving only the new ones as really interesting in the newer seasons. The storyline of the second and third seasons were never nothing more than a remix of the first one. Sure, the first season had an 80ies style sequel hook, but that was pretty much spot on for the genre. From a purely artistical point of view, yes, Stranger Thing should have been left alone after a single season. From a business point of view, I can't really blame anyone involved for wanting to make more episoes - and much more money, obviously.
  16. I have a feeling that this is not the same game, but they do look very similar. --- Death Trash Bosses Other spoilers
  17. I have finished the available content in Death Trash. The pace improved significantly in the Perished City area. It was a positive experience overall and I look forward to the full version.
  18. Didn't know that many Union soldiers died
  19. usa history are not really complicated reconstruction failed usa refuse to punish treason in 1870 just like they refuse to punish treason in 2020
  20. Boeroer, why do you suggest bloodmage subclass for this build? Wouldnt it be better to take a wizard without a subclass?
  21. I feel like Stranger Things should never have been more than a single season. Some stuff after was ok too, but it was never as great as s1 again. I'd even argue, the new stuff kinda ruined everything a bit.
  22. history is difficult. in the south, the united daughters of the confederacy were successful in their efforts to promote the lost cause narrative which established that the civil war weren't about slavery so much as state's rights. https://time.com/5013943/john-kelly-civil-war-textbooks/ https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/costs-confederacy-special-report-180970731/ even so, in high school, Gromnir were taught that slavery were a profound evil and that it were shameful it persisted so long after the founding o' the republic. that so many generations o' enslaved had needed to suffer and that the pernicious practice were entrenched in our culture to such a degree that a bloody civil war were needed to end it were a source o' national shame and regret... which in part is why the maga folks is so torqued 'bout woke education. later, at university, we discovered that most o' the founders were educated men who viewed slavery as morally repugnant but they nevertheless went along with the 3/5ths compromise 'cause the economic and political costs o' ending slavery were seen as too high. most founders believed slavery were already on its proverbial last legs in any event, but they lacked the courage to drive a stake into slavery's putrefying heart. educated men, who no doubt saw themselves as just and moral, nevertheless knowing made a deal to prolong a practice they viewed as vile, which is maybe not so surprising as more than a couple o' those educated founders were personal relying on slave labor to maintain their expansive farms. contrary to what we were taught in high school, the founders weren't simple men o' their time, ignorant o' slavery's evil. they knew what they were doing. they knew it were wrong. they did it anyways. 'course eli whitney's cotton gin fundamental changed the economics o' southern agriculture almost overnight, which not surprising changed the politics o' slavery as well. as an aside, even today most is taught that the US civil war were an insular fight 'tween northern and southern states... is right there in the name, no? civil war. the thing is, the confederacy's goals for slavery were a bit more grand as they envisioned an agricultural slave empire which included further conquest in latin america. even less well known is how some forms o' chattel slavery and debt peonage persisted in the US long after the 13th Amendment was ratified... heck, long after juneteenth. https://www.pbs.org/video/slavery-another-name-slavery-video/ btw, even though debt peonage were finally ended as the US entered ww2, the final debt slave were not emancipated until 1963. furthermore, as difficult as it might be to believe, we ain't genuine ended slavery in the US. we mentioned the 13th Amendment, yes? section 1. neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. section 2. congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. kinda a big exception, no? oh, and our recollection is that brazil were literal the last nation in the western hemisphere to abolish slavery, so... as we said, history is difficult. HA! Good Fun!
  23. Last week
  24. Stranger Things wins the award for the most pointless retcon of the year by There's this neat little concept in fiction that when you have something that is somewhat inexplicable, like Eldritch horror hive mind beings from another dimension, there's really no need to come up with a sci-fi'ish explanation for it. Nothing's gained by doing that, and it just adds a completely convoluted set of plot points into the final episodes that - while being somwhat "set up" by two minutes of dialogue in a previous episode - feels very much out of the left field and seriously messes with the pacing of the episodes. I'm kinda loving the fallout of Will's special scene in the seventh episode. Overall the second half of the season was a bit weaker than the first. Not as unecessary as the entirety of the second episode, but scratching the ludicrousness of the Russian plot in season three.
