Glass Cannon is fantastic for both mages AND rangers.
If you have over 100 resistance in an element, you will gain health from it rather than just take 0 damage.
Don't be afraid to take one or two levels in various combat skills while also focusing on your main ones. Things like Wildfire and First Aid are first level abilities that are great for just about any character.
Definitely feeling the urge after watching the new feature, I pretty much just need a good excuse. My old guild is long dead but if someone starts up a GB guild I might just have to pick up WoW again.
This DLC was great. I was glad to see that I actually got some cool equipment I really wanted to experiment with, which definitely didn't happen with Oolacile from DS1. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is craving more quality Dark Souls.
It's pretty hard in spots but not too ridiculous aside from the optional boss. Even that is not too bad with Jolly Co-operation....good luck if you're the type of person who refuses to summon.
Sounds like maybe you've already given up on it, but maybe give Torchlight 2 another try? I bought it a long time ago and never really got into it, but just picked it up again since I'm in the same boat as you, looking for a decent "grinding" game and I really feel like it's fulfilling that itch. It really is a well made game. Plus you can have a weasel pet that summons skeletons and shoots lightning. And that's just cool.
I was kind of surprised they outright dismissed the idea of skyping in people during the podcast early on (aside from the occasional Patrick news segment when Vinny was hosting). If you listen to My Brother My Brother And Me you literally cannot even tell they are skyping, and they have over 200 episodes now. Sucks that Vinny is no longer on a podcast.
Edit: And yes, I'm sure that requires a bit of editing work, but it's obviously possible.
After this incident, I really don't feel welcome here. I used to want to be active on the forums, but that enthusiasm has dwindled with every discussion about sexism. Every rationalization for why things are OK the way they are. I have nothing against the GB staff, including the new hires, and I wish them well. The conversation should be all about how exciting it is to have new hires, and I really wish it could be. But the pot is boiling over on a serious issue, and people refuse to just stay quiet about it. That's good, because it's the only way anything changes.
But...the reactionary backlash here over legitimate issues is frustrating. It's invalidating. It's not even just this particular incident. It's every conversation about discrimination. Every. Single. One. Even the ones I haven't read, the times when I just don't have it in me to read them, because I know exactly how it's going to go. I shouldn't feel drained and sad trying to be part of a community, but that's how it is. I dunno that anyone's gonna care, since I've mostly just been a lurker. But...I've been here, reading. Trying to find a way to speak up multiple times, succeeding only a few. It's been fun. No, wait, it's been the exact opposite of that.
This makes me feel really awful, so I apologize for not responding earlier. We've had discussions to this end in the past but obviously events like the E3 chat and today are giving it a new sense of urgency. We'll be talking about how to react to this going forward but it will take some time.
What should happen ideally is the staff formally speaking about this on the site and preferably on video. Not the just the occasional tweet denouncing behaviors like this. Jeff in particular never really gets too involved publicly with matters similar to this but can otherwise talk just about any subject with a lot of authority and the community on GB is very easily influenced by whatever he says. Just for once if he could put as much effort addressing this more directly as he does pushing his anti yoshi agenda it could make a great change in things.
Completely agree with this. It would be nice to have the staff address this on the podcast or a video. I feel like at best they might give it a passing mention on the podcast, and that would be a shame.
Also @rorie, thanks for all your hard work. You're a great CM and you make me glad to be a part of this community, even if I'm mostly a lurker.
