  • Not sure what level of content you’re looking for and what reason, but I’ll give it a go. The Heart of Thorns maps (apart from Dragon’s Stand) all follow the “event chain” model. You can see the tower icons on the map to find where the event currently going is. After you complete a chain, there are normally a few more harder events afterwards. I’m not sure I’d consider them fast if the goal was just number of events. This is also true for the “mini zones” in the SotO maps. There’s an event in Thunderhead Peaks (in one of the puzzle rooms) to kill 1 elite that can be spammed over and over again (easy way to finish the Return To achievement)


  • It really affects new players like you’re saying. As a long time player with stacks of XP books, I didn’t notice it. I imagine for players who want to get to max ASAP, it’s nice. For players who like the grind and want to compete a map before moving on, it might feel a bit strange to level so fast. I think with level scaling, it probably doesn’t make too much of a negative for anyone.




  • Not to add to your fears, but wisdom teeth surgery is also where a lot of people first interact with prescription pain medication. Depending on your situation and doctor, you can receive anything from higher strength ibuprofen or Tylenol to Percosets. Try to be mindful of how powerful pain medication is and if you can have someone you trust with you it’s even better. Overall, it’s not a very scary procedure and you’ll be fine :)










  • As a lover of RTS games, I am cautiously excited. A friend and I were talking the other day and we came to a realization that might sound mundane. Some of the things we miss about older games (specifically RTS) is that balance is so much more important now that a lot of the time, character and uniqueness get lost. If things aren’t as close to perfectly balanced as possible, gamers get real angry. There were some truly unbalanced RTS games that were incredibly fun. Battle for Middle Earth had some great mechanics that were incredibly fun, but I don’t many would say those games were balanced lol



  • Not OP, but as someone who uses discord every day, I think I can speak to the general criticism. Discord has way more bloat than what is needed by most out of a communications program. They’ve continued to add “features” that a lot of the user base doesn’t really care about, but take up visual space and operating space. Discord Nitro ads are also on the list of criticisms as it’s nearly constant. I love having a place to easily interact with communities I care about, but if somehow a less “noisy” alternative came along and everyone I care about moved (lol), I’d change in a heartbeat and uninstall discord.
