Last I knew, ones of the same effect do stack. This would be moderately useful if you, say, somehow found two of the one that does major mnemonic - you could drink one, find out what it does, and save the other to start a new stack. And then somehow found more major mnemonic ones.

Ooh mem ones?  Let's put the potions on timer.

FoS is a remarkable tool tho IMO and has nothing to do with a hat or a lisp.


I actually think he has Asperger's, and if so, he's doing really well.

Watching his video, I was struck with how much he sounds like my stepson with Asperger's- the arrogant, braggy insistence on being right and lack of social skills are a hallmark of high-functioning Asperger's.

I'm so convinced that he is afflicted with Asperger's that I've changed my stance on FoS. I think he's doing an incredible job considering his handicap.  I hope my stepson can do as well someday.

Yah, true - I usually have three or so linked per life in action bars.  Any negative effect ones go on action bars out of the way, then I throw them away leaving the icon so I know what they are when I pick them up.

I am also ok with FoS. Damn, I am also ok with Dispel.
Why?
My boss, his company, has been working EXCLUSIVELY for one customer for the last 25 years.
My boss called me this morning through intern telephone, to ask me the address of our customer.
No, our customer never moved. Never ever.

JohnnyD,

Muhammad Ali was certainly a spectacular athlete and great performer for press conferences.  Nobody would dispute this and I do not think anyone would suggest that he sucked at Boxing or showmanship.  He may not have been the best at monogamy, but I think most people have forgiven him for his extra marital affairs.

However, he was an outlier.  People capable of that level of performance are exceptions, not the rule.


I hope you are not suggesting that it's reasonable to equate someone posting a message in a thread in the Vault saying "I'm great at my job" with Muhammad Ali.



check out the ddo achievement section. Revenants (Aka Nick and those other guys), Shade and many others trumpet their greatness. I personally in my professional life have been called to say "No, in fact I am very good at my job". This board simply does not like to acknowledge anything positive Turbine does. Which is fine but saying FoS is bad is a mistake, he is a far cry better thn whoever was before him. Always rom for improvement, but this game is getting better.

I agree with JohnnyD.  FOS seems OK.  And while OldCoaly is right that some of the best don't trumpet, some do.   I actually don't mind the boasters if they can back it up.

I agree with Grace on this one. It seems that people are so quick toplay the asperger's card. He's awkward - well he IS a brony. And honestly he is pretty much like every brony I've ever met.

Awkward? Check.
Wears a funny hat? Check.
Wears a scarf? Check
Facial hair? Check.
Finds his own jokes hilarious? Check.
Difficulty maintaining eye contact? Check.
Thinks he is cooler than he is? Check.
Has to ask for a high five? Check.
Peculiar way of speaking (lisp aside)? Check.



For the record, I am a brony, but I don't USUALLY wear a scarf unless it's REALLY cold.  Embarrassed

Didn't they discontinue asperger's anyway? It'd just be an e-diagnosis of autism spectrum now.

Shouldn't our disabled people aspire to be more than 'doing pretty good for a window licker'?

I am confused on that also.  Not the crawl-away-in-shame part, I thought you regularly do that for our amusement, but the hat-is-horrid part.  It is just a hat.  The peanut gallery is trying too hard to make it look like he is trying too hard.   FOS'  clothes are meh clothes.  Good for him for not showing up to work nekkid.  I focussed in what he was saying.

How was your Thanksgiving?  We have eagerly decamped from our kitchen remodelling for homecooking at my parents in Vermont.  it is cold here and the hats people wear are amusingly anti-fashion.  I am sporting a hand-knit hat which covers the ears and has a tethered pom-pom atop. 

It is good to be North of Boston.  There is a new baby niece.  She has flaming red hair and a good kick.  Ah, Irish women.

You sounded retarded.  You could say "I" instead of "he".  You obviously don't know shit about the game or what actually needs to be worked on.  Potions of wonder? You have to be bloody fucking kidding me.  I hope your coworkers slit your throat in order to save this world from any reproduction you might do.

Also, Your mother is a whore.

Did you know items in the game were just fine until you started making them? Holy fucking shit, you don't know a fucking thing about items, prefixes, or suffixes.  How the fuck are you in charge of it? You are proof that turbine is slipping into the abyss. 

Also, your mother is a whore.

You should blame your parents.

You are a folicularly challenged American and thereby get a pass plus you are old and likely not wearing it to make an ironic hipster fashion statement.

Focus for one second, I know that's hard for you so I will help...

1) Where did this interview take place?
   
a. on the deck of a crab boat
b. in Nancy's cold angry vagina
c. at Thule Air Base
d. in Turbine's climate controlled studio

2) Amanda is wearing...

a. Footy Pajama's
b. Strakeln's skin
c. a short sleeve shirt
d. Epoch's winter hunting gear

3) Turbine's studio is a...

a. on the north face of Everest
b. in an office park in Massachusetts
c. in a windowless warehouse in Siberia
d. kept at -40° F to preserve the PC's life span

...in light of the answers above is a wool coat and scarf a bit strange.  He's not a meteorologist on assignment.  For extra help understanding Google "Hipster Douche" or spend an hour or so in a metropolitan Starbuck's preferably in the Georgetown area observing them in their natural habitat.
