The Queue: Star Trek Strange New Worlds is really good
@MatthewWRossi
I don’t feel like this needs a lot of clarification.
Oh, and I took the Oath yesterday, so I’m officially Canadian today.
I got the trading post parrot mount. Pretty colors but no ground animation.
Completely unrelated, the animation reminded me of that phoenix from BC. One player in Steamwheedle Cartel-US really wanted that shiny mount. This dude went by the name Opex and he would round up people for a raid every week. It really made the server feel alive. I think he eventually got the mount a little before I transferred. Good times.
I have seen that mount drop ten times. I have never gotten it.
Absolutely love having to make a group to kill 20 rares just for the four I need, seeing one of them die before I ever get to it, and not getting any drops I need anyway
I won’t lie, stuff like that has made my current switch to mostly Diablo 4 a bit easier. Don’t get me wrong, I love WoW and I think Dragonflight is an amazing expansion, but I at heart enjoy playing alone or with at most a few other people. Big group stuff, especially with people I don’t know, makes me very anxious.
good morning and happy steam summer sale day!
Note to self uninstall Steam while you still can’t no, no, don’t open it, why are you doing that, we’re going to end up…
Great. Thanks, Kal. Now I own sixteen more games I’ll never get time to play.
The stupid scythe off Ahune has eluded me for years. Every year I come away more and more annoyed that it refuses to drop for me.
I ran Ahune on my DK this morning just for the blossoms. As I went to open the bag I thought “The DK got it in this bag, just watch.”
Just a handy tip, Warriors can equip staff weapons.
I’ve read “Dawn of the Infinite Mega-Dungeon” so many times that I’m now petitioning for that to be the full name of that dungeon.
And then we’ll get a prequel dungeon:
“Rise of the Infinite Mega-Dungeon”
and the sequel:
“War of the Infinite Mega-Dungeon”
City State of the Infinite Mega-Dungeon.
Attack on the Infinite Mega-Dungeon
Return of the Infinite Mega-Dungeon
Man, this could be a whole thing.
Got a dagger from the Suffusion Camp boss on my Mage.
“Great, now this will live in my bag until I get a staff upgrade, because I’ll never get an off-hand.”
Got an off-hand from the Loamm rep weekly.
“Th-thank you, game.”
Am surprised, this is probably the first time I’ve ever had a one-hand and an off-hand at the same time.
It’s weird when that kind of thing happens, and once I get back into WoW and raiding again, I’ll likely curse you for planting the seed of hope in me.
Late to the party, but Blizzard really could have turne this in with some color swaps and that would have been better human heritage armor.
Oooh. Thanks for reminding me I haven’t done that quest yet.
Oh, right! Qfor the Rossi:
Hubby and I are playing Diablo II. I’m enjoying it, but I’m really hung up on a couple of things that are confusing me.
– Why does EVERYONE know not only about the soul stones, but where they are located? Doesn’t that seem like the kind of thing you’d want to keep close to the chest so evil forces would have a harder time finding them?
– Why did they make a key to Tal Rasha’s tomb at all? If the idea was that he’d stay there and fight for eternity, why did anyone actually need to get in?
-Tyreal said Tal Rasha had been there for ages, but Cain said it was 260 years. Which is a lot, but I don’t know that it qualifies as ages, particularly for an immortal being like Tyreal.
Do you have any insights on these?
Okay, some answers in order:
- It’s a video game. Not everyone knows about the Soulstones, but the people you end up talking to do, because they’re there to move the plot along and it wouldn’t happen if you had to talk to 3712 people who were like “What the bleepity bleep is a Soulstone?” before you found the people that had some idea what you were doing and where you needed to go. Deckard Cain is a great character, but ultimately, he’s you exposition dump and without him we’d all just be confused all the time.
- They hoped to go back in and fix the Soulstone, but between all the deaths chasing Baal and then Diablo, they just didn’t have the people to do it, plus Zoltan Kulle was up to stuff and that ended up diverting them. Remember, the Horadrim were only around for a couple of decades by the time Diablo got caught and their numbers were so low they had to stick his Soulstone in a hole in the ground and hope everybody forgot about it.
- Tyrael just assumes any amount of time is a eon to people who die in less than a century.
Okay, that’s the Queue for today. Saturday is my first Canada Day as an official Canadian citizen, and frankly, I’m excited about it. So yeah, have a great weekend everyone.
