(gee, it's almost like i've been waiting to move on so i can actually do stuff that i won't get screwed over on and for not being interested in wolfmen, you sure asked a lot of questions about matt's equipment several years back)
being able to see what's in the box you're about to open is definitely an interesting idea, but i don't see PWE ever going for it this page kicked off a necro, btw
CO does have some perks that reward costume bits, and has for years; usually the rank 3 for the various enemy group kills - some also award emotes, devices and titles of course
the baroness in the blackmarsh portion of the expansion is a direct reference to the countess from D2, since the black marsh is the area where the countess' tower is found, and the countess is a reference to elizabeth bathory, of course https://dragonage.fandom.com/wiki/Baroness
infamous is right...there are at least two references to her in diablo - one in 2 & one in 3 - and one in dragon age: awakening that i know of...probably tons more in games i have yet to touch
he did - twice; once as shown below your post, and once during https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Projections_(episode) where he slapped a holographic barclay, so it isn't out of character for him to slap stamets at all...the whole 'you don't have to be human' thing, however, IS out of character for him
it is the third announcement down from the top in this very subforum and has been since july - before that, it was the second down since march; i honestly don't understand how you could possibly NOT be seeing it
it isn't 'technically' possible to port CO assets, it IS possible, because it's already been done; the engineer cover shield is a direct port from CO
and pretty much everything in andromeda is stuff roddenberry wanted in star trek to begin with...so it's really just being put back where it was always supposed to be, and would have been but for corporate shenanigans
you too? also, i think what he's trying to say is he's hoping the utterance of one of STO's more famous lines (like 'KURLAND HERE!') in one of CBS' upcoming shows will render STO canon - but that's...not how it works even if they do that, it only renders that ONE specific thing canon, not the entire game
i don't blame them for warp fighting, because they've been going back and forth on that for DECADES - first you can both fire and turn at warp, then you can't fire OR turn at warp, then you can fire at warp but not turn, then turn but not fire, then turn AND fire...like, jesus christ, MAKE UP YOUR FORKING MINDS ALREADY!
maybe it's hard to sell for a nation that has only one species, but when you have literally DOZENS, several of which have entirely different thought processes compared to humanoids...multiple tech breakthroughs within the span of a decade suddenly don't seem that ridiculous
uh, have you seen what computer hardware was like 10 years ago? along that front, RAPID advances are made, to the point that a week after something is released, it's already obsolete so no, the technology gap between discovery and TOS is entirely believable
yes, i remember being impressed on seeing the arcane sanctuary...and far less impressed with its narrow stairways which made any pet-heavy class a TRIBBLE to maneuver around in, especially when you have vampires hurling fireballs at you unmolested while you're TRYING to get to them - the maggot lair had the same issue, but…
tell that to all those companies remastering old sprite-based games - they wouldn't waste the money if they didn't think they'd be getting even more back
because it was the only other example of an organic-based whatever affecting computer-based hardware i know of and the point was that they're all equally ridiculous, because you can no more encode messages or viruses into DNA than you can upload malware into a computer that scans bones by carving fractal patterns into…
and it's impossible for a transport to die on elite because the amount of HP bloat on them prevents the one or two klingon ships that spawn near them from destroying them before they can warp out - unless some moron actually does the mission and stirs the hive in the process
yeah, see, i would believe that...if the nanopulse mek'leth hadn't been introduced long after BOTH systems had been added to the game - it should've been upgradeable and rerollable from the start
the nanopulse mek'leth from the winter store...which can't even be UPGRADED, never mind re-engineered - despite every OTHER nanopulse weapon having the option to upgrade it
(yeah, 'what happened?' indeed, since the entire corridor OUTSIDE the holodeck is where all the action took place, and now looks like a combine with monofilament blades ran through it along with the scorch marks from dozens of lightning strikes all over the walls, floor and ceiling)
