Bean tea!

Oh. I forgot to mention. Lipton's green tea is nice and their green tea with jasmine is a particular fave of mine. This does nicely for when I want jasmine green tea but can't afford the dragon pearls which is expensive af due to the leaves being hand rolled.

Admittedly, I've never gotten to try dragon pearls.

Someday

If you want to try it I suggest getting a sample of it from Adagio. The last time I did that I got enough for more than a few cups of it and it was not very expensive.

I vastly prefer loose tea over tea bags. I spoiled myself in that regards. Sadly, I have not been able to afford to order so am stuck buying the tea bag tea from the store. When I can order I find I love Teavana, despite the price and the fact that they're owned by Starbucks now, and sometimes I order from Adagio. When it comes to tea bags, I love Stash and Bigelow.

As for the kind of black tea I like, my favorite tends to be Earl Gray and the 'cream' variant of it, the latter particularly nice when I want Earl Gray but one that's not as strong.

Maybe not. But even then, sometimes it felt like a lot of the big, epic stuff centered around their PCs and it was hard to get into it if you were not part of the circle. I had an in as one alt, kinda, but even then, I sometimes felt like a stranger who was looking inside from outside.

The show not being my speed was my primary reason, but I'm still feeling kinda hurt after 5W and how things turned out with Rozlyn. I really do like playing with these two as players, but I just can't comfortably play 'under' them.

And being involved is awesome. I got pulled into some major metaplot-y foo on Arx yesterday. It came just in time, too. I love my char, but she's not made for noble-ing about a city, so I was feeling a bit directionless.

It is a shame to see that the two of them have yet to realize that a mu* should not be all about them. But it is like they want to be the puppet masters and everyone else are their little puppets.

@Ghost

Thought so. Think that's why I decided not to try the game, among several other factors like having watched a few episodes of the show and it not being for me.

I can't remember but I think I was told that the people who ran this game were the same couple who ran The Fifth Word. Is this correct or am I remembering incorrectly?

Flanking is a good tactic, yeah. Just got to be sneaky and try to stay out of the corner of their line of sight. Then pop them right in that little blue box.

Yeah, Bastion is a down right bitch to go up against, especially when you're new to the game. Tonight my friend and I had the extra fun of playing against a Bastion who had a pocket healer/booster in his buddy, Mercy. It can make for a frustrating time, I won't lie, but once you get some practice in you'll learn how to counter him more easily. Lobbing Junkrat grenades at him from a distance and from cover is a particular favorite tactic of mine.

@Roz

Oh, Chipper did that as well. But for some reason I guess he decided that he had to teach the girls, his poor indoor-only siblings, how to hunt. Was the only time he did that, though. Guess my screaming and the bunny being taken outside made him realize that was not a good thing.

@Auspice

Chipper once brought in a living baby bunny when Tinker and Iceberg were kittens. Bunny, who was saved by my husband, was adorable. But, needless to say, I was not amused. XD

We too had a cat-dog, as we referred to our mostly-outdoor cat, Chipper. He'd walk with us everywhere he could, up to a certain point, escorting us half-way to the store (or all the way, in a few cases - I thought he was going to walk into the store with us one day when we were still in Maryland) and he was very protective of the boys, staying with them when they were young and playing in the backyard. He was also very protective of the kittens when they'd accidentally get out. There was one time all four of them - Peanut, Red, Patches and Eamon - got out and were tooling around the yard. Chipper went between where they were and the front door where he meowed until I came out to see what was up. He then led me to the backyard where the naughty bebes were playing and then followed behind me when I herded them back in. I miss him.

I tend not to play Bastion in the open, myself. I like finding little niches to tuck him in and try to ambush as people come by. Some maps are easier to make this happen than others, of course.

@Monogram

Here are a few tips for some of the heroes you mentioned:

1. With Bastion and Torbjorn (that is who I am assuming you meant by Tol but I just woke up so am not with it just yet), good turret placement is key. You'll learn where to put yourself on each map where you'll be well-protected while giving yourself maximum direct line of sight.

2. Keep off the ground as much as you can as Pharah. Do not rely on accuracy at first but rather depend on splash damage from above. Use your hover (hold your jump button) as much as you can while your jump jets are on cool down.

Oh no. I didn't... man. That blows.

The app for iOS has two different set of functions between iPhone and iPad. The iPhone has such things as access to your armory, guild info/chat, AH and all that while the iPad has the order hall mission control stuff and world map where you can track your various quests. While I don't see the purpose for this (except perhaps lessening the load the app puts on the devices by splitting it up like that, maybe?) I can't say I mind how they've done that. All in all, I really like it.

@Arkandel

If there's anything Blizzard is good at it's listening to the players so maybe that might change if enough people suggest it.

@Arkandel

That's unfortunately what happens when you have a certain amount of points to spread between several items. One/several of whatever it is will always wind up lacking, for the lack of a better way to put it.

I just got the second artifact weapon for DH. Started with the DPS spec and picked up the tank weapon about 45 minutes ago. That one I'm going to put into the bank for now and will work on leveling it up later.

As for my impression on Legion, I feel it is a MASSIVE step in the right direction after the disappointment that was Warlords of Draenor. They kept some of what I enjoyed, like the missions and followers, but surpassed the mistakes by miles. Quests and such are fun again and the dungeon I did last night... yes, it was easy but not so easy that I felt like Blizzard was trying to coddle us and hold our hands and make things too easy. I am looking forward to seeing what is in store for me as I continue to level.
