  1. The Usos' faceoff was fine. Was nice to see Cody make the save. DIY/Creeds built into a damn fine match as expected. Was great seeing the crowd into both teams a good deal. Hopefully the Creeds get more build so the crowd is into without them having to go all out each match as the future persists. KC Squared vs. Indi/Candice was another angle masquerading as match to push Candice's new heel character. I kind of dig it, especing the absolutely dickish pride she had post match. Cody's segment was solid. Ricochet/Dom was pretty fun with Ricochet getting in a good showcase. Will be interesting to see what happens when Judgement Day breaks up post Mania. I kind of hope JD sticks with Dom as they two play well to each other. The Sami/Gunther contract signing and Sami's segments with Gable were all good. I like the idea that Sami can't just rely on his underdog energy to take him through it. I don't ant Sami to win, but I have to say I would kind of love for Sami to maybe get some extra training from Gable to push himself to the next level and come close. Awesome Truth vs. Indus Sher was fun. Loved how Awesome Truth made their entrance. Was neat seeing one segment bleed into the next with some different camera angles in use. Its been good seeing WWE trest some new ideas out production wise post Dunn. Hope it continues. The Seth/Drew segment was another solid on between the two. Drew continues to give some of the bes t character work of his career. Seth is a goofball, but I d actually give him credit for stepping up the past few months during a lot of these segments. He isn't close as good as his opponents, but he also isn't so far behind its embarrassing like he has been in the past. New Day vs. Otis/Tozawa was another fun match. Was nice seeing Otis and Akira actually get in a decent showcase against a team like New Day. Becky/Nia wasn't as good as their last match, but was still a solid garbage brawl. Most of the matches and segments ranged from pretty decent-solid, but we did get a great standout match in DIY vs. Creeds. That is match that deserves to happen again with the belts on the line and one of them as champs. Another solid show with Wrestlemania taking shape and unfinished business finally ending on Becky's journey to Rhea.
  2. Trials continues to be a practice in frustration. Way too many people bringing in moronic weapon choices for the map in use and always on my team. I just wish people who know they have no business being in solo Trials would stay out of it. If you aren't even half decent you won't even get loot.
  3. The Rock's segment started off fun and then veered into awesome bastard heel territory when he got serious. I only wish this wasn't in such a pro-Rock town since the boos would have been amazing. LWO vs. Legado was good. Glad Angel and Carillo won although I dislike that it wasn;t for a spot straight up in the ladder match. The tourney step for this feels unnecessary unless some NXT teams are going to be involved. Orton/Waller was fun. Loved that stunner/RKO combo on Theory. It was dumb and fun in the best ways. Santos/Dragon was too short, but it and the post match brawl at least go us back to Santos/Rey. Still disappointed they seem to be ending it on Smackdown instead of Wrestlemania. Pretty Deadly vs. New Catch Republic was good. Bayley/Dakota was solid before the inevitable DQ finish came. I typically would prefer an actual finish, but it was good to see Damage Ctrl continue to build up some heel momentum. Naomi trying and failing to make the save was nice as well. Will be interesting to see if Bianca is dragged in or not. Originally I figured we might get her vs. Jade, but it feels more or more likely Jade next real moment will be post mania vs. whomever is the winner of Bayley/Io. Nothing too special match wise though everything was fun and used well to push feuds and stories forward. The tag matches were good and worth a catch. Segment wise the Rock's stood above all though the rest was generally decent. Solid show.
  4. I assume its because Shayna isn't wrestling at Wrestlemania and Barnett is one of her former trainers. Its nice to see them willing to do more of these one-offs. I hope it continues. I know Michaels has mentioned wanting to do such things for NXT.
  5. I thought that was just a random Aztecross theory.
  6. Curious to see what they show. Glad they are doing live streams although I have to admit I'm just a pinch disappointed Into the Light will be new content. I was really hoping for some curated missions from all of Destiny for catchup/review of the Light vs. Dark saga before the Final Shape. Can't help but think they are making a mistake if they don't do something of that nature even if it just a long recap movie/vid. I do find the plans for all the latest update's new and re-issued weapons to have enhancement capabilities come The Final Shape to be interesting. Very curious to see if that will be the new norm or something focused around weapons from higher level activities in general. I figured they would eventually go beyond Raid Adepts, but I assumed it would be kept to other Adept weapons from GMS and Trials due to the work needed to gain them. GG weapons and Prophecy weapons getting the go ahead is surprising. Will definitely have to keep an eye on the Title and Taraxippos now. I was kind of skipping them since there are better versions of both from worlds drops.
  7. Its sad, but I'm not really sure there are strong arguments for that being an incorrect train of thought. People prove to be dumb and/or ignorant so often just in general.
  8. If Brooks ever gets legit pushed I actually do kind of want them to bring back Separate Ways. They are too cheap to, but it would be nice. I'm hoping we get the Women's Dusty Cup post S&D/WM. I always thought it was weird how wrestling has trained people to think otherwise.
  9. LWO/OTM was good. Both teams looked good, showing plenty of chemistry all around. Roxanne's segment was good and another case of a heel who isn't necessarily in the wrong for the most part. Lyra kind of brought that beating on herself. Looking forward ot Tatum/Roxanne next week. King/Stone was alright. Oba/Brooks could have been a bit shorter, but it was pretty solid a longer semi-competitive squash. While it was nice to get a better look at what Oba is capable of Jensen, as he is right now, is not the person you really want to see working a longer match with Oba. Still with Dijak and Briggs both having their little faceoffs with Femi I assume we are either going with one of them or a triple threat for Stand and Deliver. Arianna/Gigi was actually pretty decent and fun though that finish was unexpected. I think that is the first time a woman has been dqed for giving another woman a low blow in WWE. It was strange but also pretty amusing for the ridiculous faces both made when it went down. Happy to see Grace pick up the win. Will be interesting to see what makeover she gives Gigi. Thea/Fallon vs. Kiana/Izzi was pretty nice. The post match with Thea finally acknowledging Jacy's real personality was nice to see though it all feels kind of late to head this direction after Jacy saved Chase U. Seems weird to go this direction with Jacy getting a similar reaction to Duke as dickish face. Holland/Spears was solid. Still not sure where it all goes. The final segment with Trick laying everything out with the challenge to Melo was nice. The Meta-Four interruption was unexpected but worked out well as a moment for Trick to shine. That kiss with Lash has me wondering if she and Trick are actually an item in real life. No great matches but plenty of fun with two standouts in in the tag matches. Dug most of the segments and I like the build so far for Stand and Deliver. Fun show overall. Same high energy, but the new girl is more about hyper positivity opposed to Thea's screaming warrior hype. I do think its strange, but I like what she brings to the table for Enofe & Blade.
  10. That makes sense. I suspect Hunters would still be winning but not dominating if not for the Skimmer quest. They probably should have rethought that one. I know when I finished up mine I only had 680-690 medals via the long route, and that was the most Destiny I had played in months. The sad thing is I see some freaking out about skimmers and not understanding those are absolutely going to become a norm post GG. We are definitely getting exotic skimmers for game rewards and Eververse buys come TFS and beyond. It is interesting seeing how things have been going and the talk of Hunters being around 50%+ of the community. Can't help but think that number is skewed due to players having all three classes vs. those with just one. I suspect a lot of one character players are Hunter mains like myself because any time in the past they messed with the numbers in GG to attempt to make things more fair Hunters got royally screwed. Meanwhile those with multiple characters are typically not Hunter mains. Also guessing not enough people are going for the Diamond medals. Those are seemingly more points than everything else.
  11. Next Clan Perk was finally achieved. The positives of a long season.
  12. The Seth/Drew segment was solid. Becky/Liv was pretty good, probably the best either has looked so far this year. Indi/Candice vs. Ivy/Maxxine was weird and mostly an angle for a Candice heel turn. The Cody/Cole interview was solid. Kabuki Warriors vs. Shayna/Zoey was pretty solid despite so little heat. Wish all involved were given better build/booking. Truth/Priest was pretty decent with the post match beatdown by Judgement Day being a nice heel moment for the group. Jey's segment was a nice and simple challenge to Jimmy that the crowd was pretty ready for. The gauntlet match was fantastic. Each matchup was well worth catching on its own with the final between Gable and Sami hitting the next level completely with some wonderful drama and the crowd behind both men. I dislike Sami winning as I think his goal should be the world title, and Gunther's eventual title loss should be used to elevate someone like Gable. I can only hope that is still the plan even with Sami just getting the big Wrestlemania match. The First and final matches were damn good-great and well worth watching with all but one of the matches and segments in between being pretty decent to solid. Its good to see Wrestlemania continue to take solid shape and wrestlers who likely won't have a noteworthy presence there still receive some solid build for momentum post-mania.
  13. Actually went Flawless not long after that last comment. Sadly didn't get a good Adept Incisor though its still nice to have succeeded.
  14. Got my third engram finally. Realizing where I screwed up was doing the focus activities too soon. You need to make sure you do at least one after the first tier of rewards is unlocked. After that I was able to get engrams and complete the quest with ease. With that done and just the Destination and champ challenges left I will probably focus on the Crucible side of GG since it aligns with stuff i'm already trying to do like get an adept Incisor and the Iron banner Shader.
  15. FInally started getting focus packages and eventually an engram from tonight's earlier Focus Activity. Hopefully that means they fixed whatever was wrong.
  16. Saw that as well. nolan and co. basically treated it as if they were writing Fallout 5. I'm guessing depending on the quality and reactions from the audience Bethesda might actually make it canon.
  17. The Logan Paul opening was some solid heeling though I wish that partnership was just bs story. The Orton/KO vs. Theory/Waller tag right after was fun. With that ending its looking like a triple threat opposed to just Orton/Paul. A part of me is disappointed since I prefer singles, but I'm also happy that Owens is getting something with some meat to it for Wrestlemania. Lashley/Kross was solid, but Kross continues to be a guy that just does not me in all that much. The DQ finish was predictable, but I did enjoy the post match fight between the factions. Guessing Wrestlemania is a 6-man tag or 8-person mixed tag with a stip. Wondering what happened of Lashley get cut the way he did. Tha Bayley interview was ok and a nice segway into Naomi and Bianca discussing Bayley's situation and action from the past 2 years. Naomi wanting to help feels right. Was pleased to see Bianca rightfully feeling Bayley deserves all of it. Will be interesting to see where things go. Tiffany/Mia was a nice showcase for Stratton though shorter than I would have liked. Wish this and Lashley/Kross switched lengths. Dragon/Garza was nice though I feel Lee should have lost the match. It never does the heel group any favors when they lose a match with the advantage. Legado needs more momentum. Final segment with Roman, Rock, Cody, and Seth was honestly better than expected. Seth's insults earlier on Raw may have sucked, but they stuck with the audience and Seth actually got in good moment with the Rock by being the one to accept the challenge. Rock final comment was a tremendous low blow and Cody's response was perfect. Match wise this left something to be desired. Nothing was bad, but there was no real standout either. Segment wise the show did a better job of delivering with that final segment being on of the better ones in this Bloodline/Rock vs. Cody/Seth feud. Solid show.
  18. That disappoints me. I enjoyed the Class focus. Been disappointed it hasn't been like that with Nightfalls.
  19. Surprised at how good it looks. Looks like the NCR got hit hard in the time between New Vegas and the series.
  20. https://twitter.com/TripleHHHPaulL/status/1765961957738160244
  21. The absolute slaughters I keep getting in Supremacy are annoying the hell out of me, but at the same time I can't help but be somewhat ok with it with how far ahead Hunters are. Also that Focus package system is clearly broken as I have yet to get even one engram despite being Hunter and playing the activity multiple times.
  22. I got them last night. The Prophecy Strand pulse is quite nice in PvP. I picked up the RL to finish up as a craftable and Auto-rifle just to have at least one more red border weapon to aim for when I finally muster the courage/energy to at least do the Kali fight of Last Wish. I'm happy they are switching them out daily again. Hopefully some of the other old nightfalls are used as well.
  23. If you want to do the top 10 scoring then I suggest using Fireteam Finder or an LFG. I don't see it being an easy via normal matchmaking as a lot of people are just trying to get things dones. How did Inverted Spire pop up? I thought it the GG Nightfall was Europa for the week.
  24. Yeah Gambit being a part of this with class vs. class matchmaking in the current D2 climate was not the best of ideas. Maybe had they done it last year and added new maps, but right now, yeah, they won't get many playing.
  25. Only a day in so things could easily change given we have three weeks of this to go. As a Hunter I hope it doesn't, but we shall see.
