Meet Greboroth, A ranger and the bastard son of a Noble elf and his human mistress. https://www.dndbeyond.com/sheet-pdfs/Greboroth_105073996.pdf Embarrassed and disowned by my father I hide my elf heritage as I wander from town to town tracking and killing the monsters and evil that walk in the wilds. I prefer to be alone in the wilds but the towns I find along the way do provide a good, warm, and safe nights rest. Not to mention mead! Unfortunately on this night, I found myself drinking in a strange dwarf tavern. I knew I wasn't welcome as the sign hung above the door read 'no pointy ears' but I knew if I kept my ears covered I could pass as human and the Dwarves make the best mead. I drank one cup of mead, then two, three and four...drinking until the dawn. Seeing the sunrise I knew it was time to leave but in getting up to leave in my drunken state, I slipped on the mead all over the table and falling to the floor I revealed my elvish side to the tavern. Instantly I could feel every Dwarves blood boil at an Elf in their tavern so I tried to make a run for it but I couldn't run faster than their axe which hit me in the back. As I lay dying, I heard the Dwarf walk over and mumbled that no-one is welcome in a tavern full of drunken dwarves.

I think I'm supposed to be out for a bday on Saturday but I'm interesting in joining this in the future as I've played other tabletop RPG's but never DnD. I'll try and confirm asap about Saturday though.

It's good to be back on 7 days, few games for me strike that nice balance between things to do and fear of dying. Most of the changes are QOL ones and are genuine are for QOL so the game is nicer to look at and to play now. The only thing I'm not sure on it the change to books but some of that is confusion on how they work as there seems to be quite an overlap between some books and skills. Maybe I should spend the next quiet night on the server to read through the book levels and skills and figure this out rather than blindly reading everything 😄
-
Yes, it's an unmodded server 🙂 Sent you the server details on whatsapp as probably not a good idea posting IP and password publicly 🙂

This is quite the update. Good to see a graphics update without a, or much of a, performance hit. Maybe summer isn’t the best time but would be good to get FG together again for this.

Chatting to Lee about GT the other day got me thinking it’s been quite a while since we’ve had a race night so how about it. We can pick some races if we get some people.

New Quiz Available! FG Gaming Pub Quiz No.11 - 1990s

Overall it's not the beating of the Steam Deck that the marketing material made out (shocking I know!). Still the Ally has some pros against the Steam Deck though most of the Deck's positives stem from it being a more mature product with a large community supporting it (coming up with controller maps, for example). It will be interesting to see the uptake of the Ally and how it develops over the next year. Though as Phil mentioned, there's somethings the Ally just can't get around like the lack of track pads. I'd imagine the low wattage performance is also baked in as it seems it's just a limitation of the chip being used which is why the Ally wins at higher TDP's.

Well see what it brings, I quite liked that Cold War and Vanguard gave MW2019 a 3 year life cycle until MW2(022) replaced it. So a MW3 expansion would be nice to extend MW2 rather than a whole new game. But we know it'll probably be a full priced new game with less content so James will have lots to moan about 😄

Well thanks to an idiot the M4 is now platinum too 😄 I had a game of hardcore domination on shoot house and a guy kept trying to snipe the wall but was rubbish so gave me 21 longshots in one game. I'm trying to do the events camo's too, whoever thought of adding a challenge for melee kills from behind in a game where you can hear someone coming from 4 miles away and where half the players run a riot shield on their back needs to be bitten in the balls by a dog, choke on a chode or playing in traffic with a blindfold... or even all 3 at the same time.- 422 replies

Platinums are going well, I already had the Hemlock but finished the Lachman 556 the other night. I then tried the M4 but even with every attachment for range, accuracy and recoil it’s still pretty bad so moved on to the TAQ56 which I’m at 9/25 so shouldn’t be too long. Last night I managed to Platinum the broadside too. So moved on to the Lockwood 300 which I’m already up to 8/20 so again should be done soon. But then on to the rubbish shotguns. So 3 down, 2 half-ish way and 46 to go.- 422 replies

Since my post, I’ve finished the shotguns. I’ve gone back to the Broadside to get the longshots. I’ve also got gold on all the LMG’s. Some were easy as I only needed mounted kills or such but I had ranked up some had to play with a number of games to unlock the challenges. I’ve almost done the LM-S too and just need the 3 kills now. Then all marksman rifles will be gold too. I definitely think Hardcore is the way to go for longshots. As many guns accuracy sucks that longshots in core would be a pain.- 422 replies

Well that counts me out then as I can't even do that in real life 😄

The 2 in the screenshot are both 2023 Super Formula cars, just one is Honda and the other Toyota so depends whether you want to count them as 1 or 2 cars. But there's the older Super Formula car (the one used in the S7 licence test at Laguna Seca) and the old 80's F1 car, the F1500T. So 3, or 4, Formula cars unless I've missed some. Maybe cars to try if we can ever get people together for another nice on GT.

I didn’t change my play style to get the Hemlock Platinum, I just happened to look at my challenges and realised I was only a few off. But I’m not chasing Platinums and especially not Polyatomic. I just thought I’d Gold the guns as it’s a relativey simple challenge on each gun. But some are painful so can’t see me sticking with them to get the required longshots for Platinum. And that’s in classes of guns I use nevermind ones I don’t like LMG’s, Battle Rifles, pistols etc. As for Polyatomic, a quick google says there’s; 11 AR’s 5 BR’s 9 SMG’s 6 LMG’s 5 Shotguns 8 Marksman Rifles 6 Sniper Rifles 5 Pistols 4 Launchers 3 Melee So 62 if my maths is correct so if you only need 51 you could miss the snipers entirely.- 422 replies

I was pretty close but my record now stands at; AR's - All done except the M16. I've only really used the M16 in HC as core it seems meh, so might have to do some more HC to finish it off. SMG's - All done except the BAS-P, another gun pretty rubbish in core so again think I need to do some HC Shotguns - All done except Bryson890 which I only need 2x 3 kills without dying which is relatively easy. Marksman rifles - All done except LM-S, I didn't get on with when I tried it and never gone back but will have to give it another go. I've managed to unlock my first platinum too on the ISO Hemlock, hearing some comments I expected it to be harder than it was. Though I imagine some guns will be a massive ball ache to get long shots with. Next for me will be finishing off the missing guns above and snipers. I've levelled up most snipers but mostly missing crouched or prone kills with them so shouldn't be too hard to get them done. Though I know MCPR requires hipfire kills which is bullshit so hoping Shipment 24/7 can get that out the way.- 422 replies

@Luseth It makes me wonder whether I bumped in to you at some point before FG but never knew about it. My teenage years were very similar to you, including listening to Nightwish. Though unlike you my tastes haven't wandered too far from the rock / metal genre in the 20+ years since given the next songs my current spotify playlist is Devil Driver, Metallica, Within Temptation, Slipknot, System of a Down, Offspring, Nightwish and Disturbed. Though overall I'd say my tastes have moved more in the symphonic and power metal sub-genres over recent years. Some of us haven't listened to what was in the charts since more like 13 than 33 😄 It makes sense though as, probably easily in to your 20's, you're still developing your sense of self and by your 30's you'll probably have a good idea of what you like and don't. I don't think my general tastes will change much for the rest of my life but still enjoy finding new bands to listen to in the metal genres as well as the odd one here and there so completely different too like acapella groups or Post modern jukebox.

Greboth replied to GazzaGarratt's topic in Call of Duty
I don't really use camo's so have little interest in chasing them but recently thought I'd try to get them just for the challenge. I've levelled up most guns in the beginning to unlock all the guns / attachments and found I'd golded quite a few without knowing. I'll have to check later to see exactly where I'm up to but think all AR's and Marksman rifles are done with only 1 SMG and Shotgun to gold. Battle rifles and LMG's are much less used so these aren't even close. I almost exclusively use Overkill so pistols and launchers are even less.- 422 replies

Oh God! Well I didn't want to have a life anyway 😄 I'd be up for joining this. Last time I played was Update 5 (maybe 4?) but I know there's been some more since so it would be good to check out the new updates.

I haven't but that's because my exposure to player statistics for games is limited to what you post as I'd rather play a game than analyse the player base. You're still confusing things by referring to "it's" peak time and count when, if I'm understanding you correctly, what you're actually comparing is the peak in Steam players against the peak in MW2 players. It still seems to be an odd thing to do though as I imagine the peak steam usage is the evening in USA timezones when there's many reasons a games peak could be in a different timezone. As by that logic, if only 1% of American Steam users play your game it would be considered shit even if 100% of Japanese Steam users play your game. It isn't that simple though is it, why was the player count so low at the time? By the screenshot there wasn't a corresponding dip in players on April 11th or 13th suggesting there's other factor(s) for the dip on the 12th. I'm not arguing against the general trend, I haven't looked at the stats and honestly don't care to either, but cherry picking a outlier is pointless. Why? What have they done to 6v6? I've been busy the past couple of nights so haven't played since the season 3 patch dropped.

Yes it is,that is literally the definition of ‘peak time’. Peak time noun a time of day when a lot of people are using the same service, such as the internet, phone, etc. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/peak-time And you know how you find out when a lot of people are using the same service….you count them and find the peak.

Does ‘peak’ mean something different in your world? As there’s more players online at almost every other point in time in that graph. So it’s more like an anti peak…I feel English probably should have a word for that…

Did they really? Or did it just feel slower as the season didn't get extended and we didn't get as many double xp weekends and those we did have were right at the end of the season. Surely it isn't that hard to prove as plenty of content creators should have clips of similar-ish matches in season 1 and season 2 and a 50% drop in progress should easily be noticeable. But doing a quick search, all I can find is people suggesting, claiming, feeling or other such adjectives it's been slowed down but no proof. The battlepass is slow overal but I can't say I particularly noticed it being slower. I hit max level in season 1 pretty easy but haven't hit it in season 2 yet still managed to finish the battlepass in the first double xp weekend which was 2 or 3 weeks ago? As for the blackcell battlepass, I guess we'll see precisely what it gives up. A few extra blueprints and some extra skins really won't be worth it but if there's enough "content" in it then it could be worth it. Else I'll stick to the normal battlepass with the points I earned from the last one.
