  1. after years o' meatloaf experimentation we have recommendations: 1) do not bake in a loaf pan you want the grease to drain away from your loaf, so use a broiler pan or something similar. also, by cooking on a broiler pan, you may slather your ketchup coat on all sides o' the loaf save for the bottom. our personal choice o' meatloaf topping is 1/3c ketchup, 1T yellow mustard, 2t brown sugar. if you are using something like heinz ketchup you may likely skip the brown sugar as is already on the sweet side. if you need to do in a loaf pan 'cause is how mom did, or somesuch, then consider buying the disposable aluminum loaf pans available in most soopermarkets and punching holes in the bottom o' the pans. obvious you are gonna need place a baking sheet or pan on a lower rack o' your oven to catch the drippings if you do the holey pan approach. 2) panko is ideal oats and or soggy bread is swell and all, and if you are trying to save a buck those will work. gonna suggest you transform your bread into bread crumbs as an initial step if you need to do white bread. again, no greasy bread chunks in your loaf with panko or bread crumbs and the panko is gonna get a more even distribution o' filler material. 3) grate your onion sounds odd, but your grated onion will, like panko, more evenly distribute. additional and more important, grated onion is perfect for keeping your meat moist. now that you is using a broiler pan and the loaf is not saturated with grease, keeping moist becomes an issue. the grated onion approach is particular useful if you is going healthy/lean with your meatloaf. choose extra lean ground beef and ground turkey for a healthy meatloaf? (isn't as ghastly as it sounds and for anybody who wants, we got a recipe) chances are such a loaf would be on the dry side, but you avoid dry with grated onion. aside: IF you are fanatical 'bout healthy, then two egg whites will work near as well as one egg when mixing your loaf ingredients. 4) do not over mix ingredients this one is kinda obvious to anybody who cooks frequent, but indulging your personal level o' ocd trying to get perfect even distribution o' ingredients will likely result in overworked meat, which may become gummy. extra: am finding that for 1.5lbs o' meat (typical we use traditional three different meats... though almost am never using veal nowadays), 1/2c o' chopped italian parsley is a worthy additional non traditional ingredient. also consider reducing onion by half and replacing with fennel in equal amount. HA! Good Fun!
  2. dunno. overall our performance has improved with the patch, albeit in limited ways. example: scrolling through party members via the ui were often laborious as there were unfortunate delays. got a party with a whole bunch o' animal companions and the slow scrolling issue could be a drag. thus far the patch has improved our ui scrolling issue. there were also a few hiccups we had which in our complete uneducated opinion felt like memory leak issues. most o' those problems is no longer noteworthy... so far. we do have a few graphic issues with the game avatars not updating after changes is made vial the paper doll-- switch helmets, cloaks, boots or whatnot on the paper doll requires a reload to make the visuals respect the changes. am recognizing how every computer config presents different performance issues, so am just happy that for once we ain't one o' the unlucky folks who is suffering worse performance following a major update. you got our sympathy, but we got no advice neither. HA! Good Fun!
  3. am having no problems, but we got no mods. is our understanding toybox all by its lonesome is causing all manner o' bugs and performance issues. if you got mods, we would uninstall 'em for a bit... at least until the most popular mods is updated a few times post patch release. HA! Good Fun!
  4. the rooftops accessible via dimension door in act iv is annoying. nenio should be able to handle your mass dimension door needs. alternatively, you will be so rich early in act iv that creating a merc who has dimension door is an option as well. last acts o' the game you literal won't have anything to buy with all your l00t if you is even a moderate completionist, so hire a merc skald, bard or whatever is not as crazy as it sounds. also, be aware that at the extreme end o' act iv there is an easily overlooked dimension door optional battle location. after you fight the big bad o' act iv, there will be one area where you l00t a dimension door scroll, which is a less than clear clue there is a dimension door opportunity nearby. the enemy in question is worth +90k xp and he has a stat boost book on his corpse. if at end o' act iv you can't find the dimension door location we reference, let us know and we will be more specific with the location. HA! Good Fun! ps we assume most people is aware, but is ez to overlook how the herald will heal you at nexus as often as you desire, and when he heals your party, all spells and abilities is refunded. is not as if you need keep resting to have nenio rememorize dimension door. return to nexus after doing a couple rooftop jaunts and then talk to the herald. rinse and repeat.
  5. did you remember to opt out o' the beta? as we noted previous, your earlier identified doorway issue were beta specific. am knowing the new patch is available, but is a shocking number o' folks who forget they need to revert to base game to enjoy the benefits o' the patch. am having personal not suffered impassible doorway problems for months and have only seen official board complaints o' such as relating to the beta, unless you simple are identifying you got your party bunched in doorways as 'posed to the bug you previous identified. killing gresilla is our standard approach so you should suffer no noticeable ill effects. in fact is arguably necessary to dispatch gresilla if one wants to have an enchantment caster. have not started the inevitable excess material as we had our aeon and anticipated legend builds both paused at the conclusion o' the colyphyr mines, waiting for the patch as well as having to deal with rl responsibilities. aeon did indeed get a boost in power, which am s'posing will make it a more attractive option. there is a comical crusade power for aeon which makes any act v crusade battle v. demon armies a non factor, particular if your general has high power. is gonna take us some time to slog through all the act v material. we do have a whole bunch o' mostly minor post patch bugs. for example, our crusade ui is disabled on the world map, but by accessing character or inventory and returning to world map, the ui returns. animal companion leveling has changed a bit and is... odd. didn't notice the change 'til we had to respec our aeon to take advantages o' earlier mythic level gazes being added and sudden our animal companion were missing a few anticipated levels, inspite o' the benefits o' boon companion. am thinking we also may have figured out the problem with azata and our inability to get use from waterfall. mythics, other than merged spell books, don't use a casting attribute to generate spell casting dc. one o' the recent patch fixes gave a serious upgrade to an azata spell which now provides a considerable attribute boost with a major duration. we noticed how in spite o' the big boost to charisma, our waterfall dc didn't change even if all the spell dcs in our sorcerer spell book did improve. azata s'posed uses charisma as its casting attribute, but whether you got a charisma o' 8 or 38, the dc for azata spells remains same. this works out great for players who dumps charisma but nevertheless wanna play azata or aeon, 'cause to cast level 7 aeon or azata spells, you do not need a 17 charisma. unfortunate, attributes being a non factor for spell dcs o' non merged spell books is an insurmountable hurdle when trying to boost mythic spell dcs. amusing aside, we noted earlier how the dragon familiar, the one available via a quest in act v, is counting as an extra character attack-- 1d4 random elemental. procs elemental barrage, but for our aeon who has all the bane boosts, plus crusader's edge and seelah's holy sword spell, the little guy is accounting for ~21d6 per round, in addition to 9d6 damage for the barrage, which curious is also benefiting from the aforementioned aeon bane boosts, crusader's edge, holy sword and whatnot. as a practical matter, having the dragon familiar equipped results in an additional +51d6 damage per round... as well as the 1d4 elemental damage. HA! Good Fun!
  6. am gone for a bit over a week and this happens? no, and no. worse, am suspecting is no way you would be making this argument if it were just about any western colonial power which wanted to revisit the issue o' granted sovereignty. by definition, the recognition o' sovereignty and self-determination is irreversible as is a surrender o' authority by the previous sovereign, which necessarily includes some kinda imagined legit power to revoke. sure, the power politics model means force invariably makes right, but that clear ain't your justification. am s'posing there may be arguments as to why ukraine ain't a real country and why crimea somehow were a legit target for russian annexation, but you aren't making a good argument. sorry, but no. as for the rest o' the thread, and not directed @Gorth in particular, am gonna let you all have at it. is a whole lotta silliness from folks who made a bunch o' posts which has not aged well given the reality o' the invasion by russia. folks who were most wrong appear to be the most vocal. lack o' self awareness/reflecyion is expected and unfortunate. HA! Good Fun!
  7. am literal only having five minutes to post. that said, saw this (belated) and am gonna observe the bug you describe with doorways appears to be common in the beta. had been all but complete exorcised for months. in fact, is quite a few curious legacy bugs in the beta. example: the inability o' a few classes and archetypes to choose the relevant caster spellbook for loremaster has returned with the beta. playing the beta is an at-your-own-risk proposition-- there is a considerable chance o' suffering a build or save killing bug if you play beta. based on a bit o' the official board feedback regarding bugs and the beta, we would not be shocked if the dlc (and the patch changes) were again delayed. HA! Good Fun!
  8. am personal gonna be unavailable from noonish our time 'til march 4, so is unlikely either of us revisits soon. no sweat. will no doubt come up organic again at some point in the future. always does. HA! Good Fun!
  9. ps our work at juvenile hall also irrevocable colored our pov. one o' the great dangers in the hall, and any american correctional or predisposition facility (jails and prisons) for that matter, is dealing with gangs. if you genuine want details we will provide, but the well-intentioned schemes for combating group identity were rare effective, and while the not-so-benign schemes were arguable effective in a limited way, overall am dubious as to the positive impact. am also betting @Gorth would be most unhappy to hear what were the effective approaches used to combat gang identity 'mongst minors at a predisposition facility where kids ain't yet had their cases adjudicated, so innocent until proven guilty and all that. HA! Good Fun!
  10. would like to agree with you. ... have you ever as an adult had to deal with a large group o' kids: sports team, classroom, camp, whatever? takes no time at all for kids to begin developing us v. them politics. is not the teacher or coaches fault kids is capable o' spiteful, hateful and petty, with such instincts magnified in a group. we worked at a juvenile hall for a time and were a football coach and we saw same same cycle repeated. one goal as a football coach, to minimize the infighting and to make possible a dynamic whereby diverse people who would otherwise never interact positive with each other if left to their own devices, were to promote a shared team identity as Bears, Eagles, Cowboys, or whatever were the team moniker. almost every coach attempts to create traditions and esprit de corps and whatnot to establish a team identity as an effort to in part negate those horrible clique dynamics which undermine group efforts. such schemes don't come about 'cause football coaches is trying to create future mindless soldiers willing to die for imaginary national identity. is a reaction to the (in)human nature o' teens and young adults. we do change fundamental once our brain final develops in teens but as late as early 20s, but same approaches is used with adult sport teams... and nations. am agreeing they should not be underestimated, but in a room full o' judges, generals, diplomats and others, is all too often the serving staff and the odd third grade teacher is gonna be foolish dismissed. am not stating what should be. am recognizing what is an all too familiar failing o' the s'posed educated. HA! Good Fun! ps so is clear, am not suggesting the real problem is agriculture, technological innovation, human nature, or... etc. am saying the problems linked to nationalism is complex and is unlikely gonna be solved with a simple if improbable solution. get rid o' religion. get rid o' nationalism. from our pov, such solutions is impractical and far too big to address meaningful particularly as it appears is working backwards by trying to fix symptoms as 'posed to causes. start small. get rid o' oversized foam fingers at US sporting events. manage that and call it a win.
  11. are you playing the beta or 1.1.7f? not being able to get through doors were a frequent bug in pre and early post-release builds. those complaints has made a recent comeback, but am not sure if is mod related, 'cause again, is something which had largely disappeared from the owlcat forums until recent. am not using mods, and we haven't had the doorway bug in many months, but anecdotal and singular experience is not meaningful. HA! Good Fun!
  12. just seems like you got cause and effect reversed. as means o' war and advances in agriculture made large and more lethal armies possible... *shrug* from our pov, is not nations or national identity which were the cause. @MedicineDan would happily share how the nation-state identities o' the greeks didn't make their politics and warfare more huggable than 21st century examples. scale were smaller. perhaps blame invention o' the plow which started the chain o' events which led to the first nations way before the 17th century? for europeans, is arguable it were the introduction o' the bean (and later the potatoes) to diets which led to fundamental alterations in western national identify, 'cause were the explosion in the populations which brought 'bout the need for the kinda great nations which had previous only existed along the great river deltas o' the world: egypt, china, babylon. etc. am not claiming to have right answers on this, but is hard for us to point to national identity as the root cause when is so many other possibilities, not least o' which is the aforementioned human nature conundrum. HA! Good Fun! ps am not being dismissive o' other great ancient nations, but roman expansion, for example, relied on the grain from egypt. the mongols ironic needed china agriculture expand. etc. other nations in asia and the americas developed in part 'cause o' advances in bean and maize cultivation... and am happily willing to again link some o' the agricultural and irrigation advances o' the aztecs and incas respective.
  13. am personal believing perceived politician evil is the result o' a desire to ignore widespread human flaw. is coincidental why we find @Gorth anarchist leaning to be naïve. not trying to offend, but am incapable o' squaring history and personal experience with gorth anarchy. get rid o' national boundaries and identities solves nothing 'cause is humanity which is the core problem. wave a magic wand and do away with borders, national identities and armies. how long before some person(s) get the bright idea to collective pool their strength, perhaps initial to protect themselves from genuine bad individuals. is easy to see how things evolve from there, no? if am misrepresenting, please clarify 'cause am honest not trying to be flippant or dismissive. am just not seeing how national identities is the problem when for us such is mere symptomatic o' fundamental human nature and condition. HA! Good Fun!
  14. blix. why you would wanna yet again bullseye yourself with japan is bordering on insane given the numbers o' historians we has shared comments from who disagree with zor, and zor offering no such authorities to refute. 'course zor indulges in same misrepresentation we blew up mere weeks past. even so, is improbable zor forgets his own post from mere a page removed and seeming suffers some kinda weird transient amnesiac event. note, blix is one o' the guys who believed there weren't lies from the bush administration-- said so on the not-so mythical video. looking for a person in existence who believes as does Gromnir that the administration were honest mistaken but negligent in their efforts to confirm wmd existence? blix, your injected authority, is one o' those existing people. as to coercion, blix also said he didn't feel coercion in the "mythical video," so more gaslighting. blix didn't need to share anecdote where he were brought in to see bush, with powell, cheney and others present, and bush made clear and in no uncertain terms that blix had his confidence and support. bush wanted inspections and so blix felt he had bush administration backing, even if a bit later the administration would foolish ignore his pleas for more time to inspect. btw, clear neither Gromnir nor blix suggested bush administration efforts were well researched (more zor misrepresenting) 'cause is a whole bunch o' posts now easy to review which describe how the key failure o' bush insofar o' iraqi wmd's as a justification for invasion were the insufficiency o' their efforts to find evidence o' wmds in 2002 and early 2003. repeating self but is necessary with zor. am also the guy who has said over and over again that the administration lied 'bout iraq to the american people, but the lie were 'bout the necessary cost to maintain peace post invasion. am offering now 'cause is a frequent zor misrepresentation, "that the US Government Did Nothing Wrong in the lead up to Iraq." has never been our position... evar. gotta knock down these strawmen before zor creates 'em. and again, lets not forget how blix were brought up by zor. so, as a response to a claim bush didn't lie regarding wmds, you offer second-hand description o' an incident o' coercion which ignores first hand recollections o' the victim himself that not only did he feel no coercion but that bush went out o' his way to show support for the victim? serious? gonna serious bring up logic fallacies with that nonsense? zor's blix observation comes in response to Gromnir pointing out the bad example o' using the wmd lies bit to attack bush (bush specific) as a Presidential liar... for years now, just as a mere page past, zor frequent resurrects, misrepresenting Gromnir position and ignoring the fact that his own interjected authority undermines his "only person in existence" fantasies 'bout wmd lies and the bush administration... which is same as his fever dreams 'bout how russia were not planning an invasion o' hokkaido before the collapse o' japanese forces in manchuria. ... real insanity is we need waste so much time on zor who is impervious to reality... he cannot help but gaslight and then every few months does he dredge up his past blunders and somehow reimagines. is so... weird. but yeah, blix is clear one o' those fantastimagorical people in existence who believe the bush administration were not lying 'bout wmds. thanks for framing such so we will be able to use the next time you inevitable and reflexive bring up this ridiculous claim. HA! Good Fun!
  15. moving on (unlikely, eh?)... Clarence Thomas refuses the clear and obvious path forward Judges are supposed to evaluate cases impartially. Given his wife's involvement, there is no way for the public to trust that Thomas will impartially judge the cases she's tied to. And Thomas himself has defied a whole series of ethical guidelines that apply to every other judge in the country, appearing at events for right-wing organizations and causes, and, according to the Times report, being in contact with at least one conservative politician, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, at the same time he was facing battles in federal court (DeSantis did not respond to the Times' request for comment). ... our opinion o' j. thomas has soured the past couple years as he has become transparent political. however, am actual disagreeing with the position o' the opinion piece, even if we wanna agree. other than Justice Kagan, am believing every other SCOTUS Justice has a spouse. if you think any o' those spouses remain mute on political and legal issues o' the day, you is nuts. we met Justice Kennedy's wife, mary, on literal dozens o' occasions over the years, and in spite 'o the fact she were a third grade school teacher for many years, underestimating her would be a grave mistake. is rare when she were not the smartest person in a room, and considering the crowd Justice Kennedy attracted, that is an admitted bold statement. if you think for a second mary kennedy were any less influential regarding her husband's legal opinions than ginny is regarding clarence, then you are not giving mary the credit she is due. am not believing ginni is altering j. thomas' opinions. might be more accurate to say ginny activities is symptomatic o' the thomas couples' beliefs. is rare the partner o' a SCOTUS Justice is so transparent regarding their political leanings, but that don't mean other partners is any less opinionated and influential insofar as the legal opinions o' their respective spouses. perhaps unfortunate, is also a fact the ethic standards for SCOTUS is different for Justices than judges. should standards be changed? is it even possible to change such standards in a meaningful way w/o a Constitutional Amendment? am thinking is wasted breath to argue, 'cause spouses is typical gonna be the most influential factor in Justice opinions, whether any o' us realizes or admits to such. HA! Good Fun!
  16. heads up: the covenant o' the inheritor relic fragment is also in the burning house. aside: with valmallos all but confirmed as the inevitable in the dlc art for "the inevitable excess," we would not be surprised if narriseminek, the protean lord o' ascendence, also makes an appearance. HA! Good Fun!
  17. har har. again, zor is the guy who were bleating 'bout blix, but he made the mistake o' doing so with Gromnir in metaphorical earshot, 'cause we were in the freaking audience for the linked "mythical video" and we knew zor were talking out his arse on yet another issue. so 'course we weren't gonna let go o' zor's blix blunder as zor kept digging himself ever deeper each time he insisted on his silly and self destructive complaint 'bout Gromnir's wmd lies position... which, again, is just so typical zor. 'course zor don't wanna talk 'bout blix who explicit rejects his position in spite o' zor being the guy to use blix as an authority. is tough to gaslight the video, but he sure has tried. y'know, the genuine crazy part is six months from now when zor self embarrasses himself regarding some new issue he talks outta his arse regarding, he will be unable to resist bringing up Gromnir's take on wmd lies, and we will once again bleat (HA!) 'bout how his authority, hans blix, refuted another untenable zor position. weird. isn't any easier for a few folks to gaslight regarding their past bad week o' russian humping, but they will give it the old college try. on some level you gotta admire the tenacity and verve in spite o' the utter folly. edit: 'cause trump couldn't read the room and once again did his putin stooge routine, am recollecting a story from 2016 which @Guard Dog & @Gorthwould no doubt enjoy 'cause it does kinda make one wanna just get rid o' politicians. House majority leader to colleagues in 2016: ‘I think Putin pays’ Trump doesn't look to be paywall blocked. if you don't wanna read story, just watch the brief video to get the gist. is timely to reflect on epic gaslighting efforts original revealed in 2016. our boardies is rank amateurs by comparison. HA! Good Fun!
  18. we brought up blix after zor misrepresented... and comical zor is once again exposing self. of course rumsfield believed there were wmds present in iraq; that was the point blix were making. weren't lies. the US had intelligence going back years which had convinced americans and other nations that there were wmds in iraq. 'course zor is gonna spin regardless... as this last week clear shows and his own unsupportable reimagining o' blix clarifies... again. got blix explicit saying bush stepped in and defended his inspection efforts. got blix saying weren't lies but were indeed dogged defense o' a belief unsupported by actual facts. got blix admitting even he thought saddam hussein had wmds in late 2002. a whole lotta wrong from zor... again. once more, to accept zor fantasies, what you see and read is not what you is seeing and reading. 'course it should be made clear there was deceit, which we has most assured criticized over and over again. just weren't deceit as many need to believe were present regarding the wmd issue. too many focus on the wmd issue and ignore how the costs o' peacekeeping efforts in iraq were known before 2003. the wh did most assured mislead americans regarding the costs o' iraq. is no way americans would support a foreign war followed by a necessary occupation if the real costs were presented to the american people. we only ever had a fraction o' the required manpower to maintain peace in iraq, and the wh knew the costs but spun fairytales o' how the iraqis were gonna police selves post invasion. HA! Good Fun!
  19. am thinking there is some misconceptions about spellcasting. the angel and lich spellbooks are indeed powerful, and caster level does make a big difference in a few situations, but for a blaster, being level 30 as 'posed to 20 don't make much difference. your ability to hit touch ac is not gonna improve with 10 extra caster levels, and is so much gear for beating touch ac and sr that those hurdles is a non factor in any event. is a few blaster spells where dc's is important, but dc is also not based on caster level. caster attribute score and spell level is important for the would-be blaster. the gold dragon, now that is working, gives a charisma caster a big boost, transforms damage type to unresistible holy damage and ups the hd from what is typical d6 or d8 to d10, which am knowing don't seem like a huge factor until you do the math. is why those stacking 1-point-per die boosts from crossblood bloodlines or a few gear pieces is so devastating when added to hellfire rays and stormbolts n' such... though particular hellfire rays as you are talking endgame 45 hd worth o' damage. as noted, am gonna eventual go lich/gold dragon. yeah, is tough to compete with a few o' the mindlessly spammable lich and angel spells, but am not thinking we handicap self too bad by going with the gd route. HA! Good Fun! ps our blaster main were a sorc azata. am not gonna suggest azata is best for blasters, but is more than good enough to be managing screen wiping displays o' pyrotechnics. we went cold, which were a mistake 'cause o' what we assume is a bug regarding dc boosting feats and gear not applying correct to the azata spellbook, but even as a human instead o' half-elf, and recognizing we didn't take best archetype for a blaster, we were screen clearing opposition with impunity. zippy magic is a big boost for a blaster. we went arcane trickster and were satisfied with the results. but again, lich and angel is having many advantages o' blasters w/o needing work out the details o' a build or come up with a plan to take advantage o' capabilities. an angel oracle spamming storm of justice is not requiring schemes or plans or exploits. with storm of justice, enemies die... fast. entire screen o' enemies. will be curious to see how builds perform with the dlc. inevitables and proteans is gonna be foes 'stead o' demons. holy damage shouldn't be effective against non evil, but holy and unholy damage doesn't behave as one would expect in wotr. pps we mention proteans 'cause when we recent checked to see how many steam players had managed the secret of secrets quest, we saw the thumbnails for the new dlc achievements, and the "glimpse of truth" achievement sure has the semblance o' a pathfinder protean.
  20. "Blix accused U.S. President George W. Bush and U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair of acting not in bad faith, but with a severe lack of "critical thinking."" "Blix has written a new book, "Disarming Iraq," about the events leading up to the war. During that period he was lambasted by both doves and hawks: by the former for failing to state unequivocally that Iraq had no WMDs, and by the latter for failing to find them. As he explained Wednesday night, part of the problem was that he himself had believed the weapons probably existed. "I'm not here to have gut feelings," he said. "But yes, in December 2002 I thought Saddam had weapons of mass destruction." Still, "the objective was to inspect effectively and to report objectively."" even low effort folks may find. the criticism from blix (zor's example... who said the opposite o' zor claims) is not that bush admin lied, but rather that they acted w/o the requisite knowledge to make an informed decision. cheney and others were convinced that the wmds were in iraq, based in part o' interrogations o' iraqi scientists who turned out to be purposeful lying. absence o' intel were never gonna change their belief. 'course zor misrepresentations o' this and other issues is kinda par for the course when zor gets exposed by his self w/o seeming to have self awareness to realize. same bat time. same bat channel. edit: we were in the audience at the time, which is why we knew zor using blix were another example o' somebody talking out their kiester w/o actual knowing... which is what has happened the past week or so. HA! Good Fun!
  21. balance is a feature o' pathfinder and wotr magnifies. am playing with difficulty set to hard with boss fights upped to unfair, but this is only 'cause we have so many hours invested in the game and we know a whole lotta cheese which makes the game a bit too easy unless we increase difficulty. wotr balance is terrible, and the game becomes much easier if you got community and madness domain powers along with a mark of justice paladin as well as a skald (melee party) or court poet (casters). can do the cackle exploit for fortune and protective luck. we know how to upgrade relics. we know which spell schools have the most dc boosting gear and where such gear may be found. there is good weapon choices and bad. is good animal companion options and poor. is a whole lotta wotr options which individual make only small differences, but when added together skew difficulty such that death to the player on unfair happens 'cause o' impossibility to prepare and/or a series o' improbable bad rolls and not 'cause o' challenge. as to the stability o' wotr, many bugs remain, but few is game or quest killers. "enemies would walk a straight line literally off the maps," is a thing, but it literal only happens to us... is dozens o' spells, abilities, feats and gear which do not work as described, although we have been happily exploiting the hunter's celestial velociraptor's unlimited smite while perpetual forgetting to make a bug report related to the issue. is all kinda things broken in wotr, but the game is no longer unplayable from our pov, and given how the game were in august/september, am actual pleasant surprised by the current state o' the game. based on our experience with kingmaker, am feeling some confidence in proclaiming our belief that wotr is never gonna be complete fixed. however, am satisfied with the progress regarding wotr stability, and keep in mind this is from a guy who were extreme critical o' kingmaker... and am not a fan o' munchkiny wotr aspects. is a whole lotta reasons we should be dumping on wotr, but am surprised in a good way by wotr stability. however, to repeat, is no fixing wotr balance. pathfinder is busted and wotr magnifies pathfinder balance issues by including their unique and busted spin on mythic. is pnp options in wotr no real dm/gm would ever allow collective. owlcat fans has consistent made clear they don't want player abilities nerfed even when broken, so the reasonable solution is to buff enemies? is a predictable spiral o' stoopid regarding balance as each new power upgrade for players leads to additional bloat to enemies, which further annoys casual players. HA! Good Fun!
  22. the crimson dust encounter? is an ecorche model, so we didn't think o' as a ghost. am not thinking it were incorporeal as it dropped an amulet of natural armour as 100t. is what you reference? that said, the ecorche did spawn outta seeming nowhere and provided good xp. HA! Good Fun! ps don't quote us, but am thinking the name o' the ambusher is sinful sinew. our memory is excellent but our dyslexia is terrible, so we frequent get names wrong and reorder numbers in comical ways. pps we did a limited experiment with the battlebliss and then our patience ran dry. maybe a dozen fights? am mentioning 'cause is the worst potential unlimited xp exploit in the game and 'cause o' one o' the possible foes. we fought battlebliss after completing all battlebliss quests and we got mostly deathsnatchers, but near equal frequency o' the recent mentioned ecorche. we did fight a balor as well. always a solo antagonist. no 100t drops and the experience rewards is trivial by act iv standards but we didn't see a limit. takes literal seconds to defeat each foe and the fights may be repeated ad nauseum.
  23. sorry, but her error, when viewed in the context o' the moment, were at best a minor thing and is doubtful anybody at the time coulda' predicted a sportscaster running interference for nascar fan stoopid, akin to a parent trying to cover for a child who blurted out something profane in front o' guests, would lead to a national rallying cry from the not-so-alt-right-anymore crowd. everybody in her profession knows who she is, and if she is to cover a major sporting event in the future, this is gonna follow her forever. second guess what were at worst a minor mistake? am not sure what we woulda' done in the moment. probably ignore, but we also got no idea what producers were telling her in the moment and am suspecting the situation were a bit more tense for her than it is for us contemplating the event at home. her job is to cover sports, and is doubtful she ever had a class or previous experience with a large crowd repeated chanting political profanity. HA! Good Fun! ps am nevertheless fully conceding that sitting at home and able to reflect in a complete zero-pressure situation, we woulda' ignored chants until a producer told us to do otherwise. "let's go brandon," would not have been our solution, but am suspecting is as much 'cause o' our lack o' creativity as anything.
  24. *chuckle* revisionism already? reimagining as some kinda benign limited invasion which would somehow be unreasonable to result in fear in the west? how on earth would the NOW seeming anticipated and predictable prospect russian tanks rolling into donbras be nothing for western markets and media to concern itself with... particular coming from somebody who opined this bruhaha would all evaporate on sunday, this sunday already past, after the scheduled wargames would end? ... again, "whatever." you folks is gonna rationalize and twist regardless o' reality. not worth further effort as you people has already exposed self... and we indulged in the terrible pun on purpose just to show how little we think o' such indefensible defense. HA! Good Fun!
