Returning to EoC...from OldScape
I agree with most of that, with the exception of the staff. I'd use SoL over Chaotic staff any day, and certainly for training.

POP ~ Storyline
Also, your focus have no bearing on any of your Special voyages, so you won't miss them. the Two sets of Trio are Convict/Biologist/Missionary and Whaler/Assassin/Occultist. The Trio story only show up if any two of the same set of trio appear in port, and like double adventurer voyages, if you use one, the story dissappears, if you do the storry, all other special voyages dissappear for the day.

How Long for PoP Armor?
It's practically impossible. trade good missions do not appear until you are in Hook (which is the region after Skull), and they only appear in 1's. Even the tradeable helm requires 30, so you will need to roll an average a specific trade good mission a day until you start working to have a hope, which is, unfortunately, hopeless. In the hook region i'd be lucky to get 1 trade good mission a day. I started ports on the day it came out, and I hit pincers about 3 weeks ago, so I was about a month behind the crowd, and I could only send voyages once daily after I hit hook. It takes more time, but it's not impossible (and certainly more likely than what you are hoping for now)
- How many times am I gonna get banned for this.

Age of Empires II : HD
I'll probably eventually buy it, but only when it's on a sale. I am pretty much buying steam's convenience of not needing to lob the CD's with me everytime I want to play it. I have bought a few games a second time because of that convenience.

Locking that I don't agree with
So you are basically using this as an excuse to bash Tripsis because she happens to be the one doing the locking? That's basically shooting the messenger because you don't like the messenger...

11-Dec-2012 - Player-Owned Ports
If my scrolls come in at the same rate as it is now, I should, theoretically, have them all by end of april. But it's mostly just the gimmicky scrims so I might re-adjust my priorities

18-March-2013: Dealing with games of chance
Which is why I am much more inclined to use non-combo thresholds in moving fights. I have found double clicking works getting out of combos, but eventually it gets annoying

18-March-2013: Dealing with games of chance
But unless they changed it so that shield is no longer required for the effect, i can only see it used as defensive armor, which nex armor doesn't do any worse than obby armor

18-March-2013: Dealing with games of chance
Hooray for Momentum being toggled Other than that, nothing unexpected in the update, but I do hope they fixed Sky high jump home port Edit: <sadpandaface> They did not </verysadpandaface> Guess i am off to get the Penguin homeport

Best Basic Rotations
For magic and Ranged, I do Stun -> 3s -> 5s -> 3s -> Dot -> 3s -> 5s -> Threshold. The threshold in question varies depending on my adrenaline, the monsters health etc, but ever since Wild magic got buffed big time, I am using it more and more over Asphyxiate. Once you have enough for Ultimate, use it (which ultimate depends on your situation as well, etc). For melee I don't bother with stun, instead I use: Severe -> Slice -> Punish -> Slice -> Cleave/Decimate -> Slice -> Punish -> Threshold. The threshold rule from the above applies. Also, never put 2h and dual wield ability on the same bar, that guarentees dead buttons, I switch out the 2h and DW exclusives depending on what I am using. Inconvenient? Possibly, but it's not like I switch between 2h and Dual wield continuously in a fight. I won't surprised if there are better rotations out there, but it's what works for me.

Age of Empires II : HD
It will support steam workshop, so you may have things like Customised civilisations, units, scenarios, or possibly game modes.

What Game(s) Did You Last Get and What Are You Playing?
Just finished the Heart of the Swarm campaign. I don't think I find any wrong with the overall storyline, just the minor details. I cannot help to make the following parody after I finished the campaign though:

I have been in pincers for two weeks and I only got my second band yesterday, and I rolled out 3 harems so far...

Where are all the good guides?
I much prefer to reading and making a written guide, each for different reasons: 1. If I were to make a video guide, there might be details I leave out during the Video, plus my accent would literally make my audience's die from blood loss through the ears. 2. If I am using a guide, I'd rather have a text so I can easily find what I am looking for (and preferrably not be spoiled), it's hard to do that on a video.

What updates would you like to see in EoC?
Rapier Scape VS Drygore Scape, Rapier Scape VS Drygore Scape.... Same sh*t different day to me, but at least EoC doesn't make me want to have an epileptic seizure when I try to do 'combat'.

Age of Empires II : HD
In case anyone feeling nolstagic about one of the greatest historical RTS in history (no pun intended), Age of Empires II HD is available for pre-purchase on Steam for $17.99, available on the 10th of April. Unfortunately, the only thing I can actually discern this from the original is the much bigger screen size, apart from that, the screenshots do not show much improvement to the original graphics (water seems to be improved, but that's about it).

Toolbelt glitch?
You have 96 fishing? If you do, the game will always attempt barehanded fishing over harpoons in your toolbelt. If you want to actively avoid barehanded fishing, having another harpoon in your inventory/wielded should solve that

11-Dec-2012 - Player-Owned Ports
add another 0 to the end and you will get the true LP boost, they accidentally cropped a '0' at the end. It's been like that for a small while at least. It's going to be hard for me to describe what will happen, so I will explain below: 1. You are in pincers, you just unlocked 90 RC. 2. Your occultist will offer story line missions as long as she is in port. 3. Her story mission will ALWAYS be the lowest storyline you have yet to do, unless the 'level' of the next story line is higher than the zone you are currently in (this is not an issue in Pincers as it is the highest zone). 4. Once you do her say Skull Region story, then her Hook region story will be available next time you have her. 5. If you skip her mission on any day, next time she is in port, the mission will still be there. Note: your focus has absolutely nothing to do with any of the special voyages. It is also because of step 5 that it makes it hands down better to leave story missions until you get to pincers. Especially considering story do not give ANY distance, and therefore is actually counterproductive for progress (and the fact that they dont get harder if you leave them till later, thereby making them easier to do later).

Black Dragons
Bolt racks are over 450 each, and they are not recoverable. Given the new ranged abilities however, you should use no more than 1 bolt rack per dragon (that bolt rack being the auto attack you do on the dragon as soon as you click on him).

Barraging Dagannoth
Although if you don't think you will be using the demon horn necklace for anything else but dagganoths, Twist Bird skull necklace is good too (normal bones restore the same amount of prayer for all 3 necklaces, making the lowest one best value if only normal bones are concerned)

vinewhip/maul
And the fact that single target DPS, Vine Whip/EE > Maul, not counting accuracy
- dual, 2h, range and mage setup for max dps
