No, no, no, steaks are to be seared at high heat. Salt before, pepper afterwards, you don't want burnt pepper on your steak contributing a bitter flavor.

But you want to give the salt time to pull the pepper flavor into the meat! At least we can agree that "steak sauce" is an abomination not to be borne, right?

Could that annoy people? e: if you put your sauce of choice on TOP of the meat, I declare a pox upon your house!

Blazing Zero posted:I don't think guild banks work that way based on how they've talked about it and with raids being only 3 people right now, it would probably be easier to just not raid with people who bring what you think is wrong. Oh, I think it'll be a thing. Only so many people have the Raid Leader bonus, for one thing, and only so many of those will want to run any given raid at any given time -- most will be Grand Kings more interested in PvP, etc. I expect a lot of "god dammit Alloy why do you keep running that lovely blood diamond deck, don't you know this boss is weak vs. rabbits" etc.

There's a saying in the cooking industry: "An ounce of sauce hides a multitude of sins." If you can't enjoy the natural taste of the meat, the real issue isn't what you're dipping it in! And I suppose this is as good a place as any to mention I have a co-worker that dips his poutine in ketchup... But to get back on Hex, I'm hoping they support multiple guilds as well. I've got some non-goons interested in the game and it would be nice to jump over to their guild and help them out without penalty. Curious how that gets flagged. They've mentioned guild vs guild stuff I believe but was there any talk of how that works? edit: VVVV I cook for a living so yes. But too often people reach for a sauce before they taste the meat. I used to be one of those 'well done with BBQ' kind of guys, but a good cut of meat that's seasoned properly and cooked correctly just lights up on the tongue. thiswayliesmadness fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Jun 20, 2013 |

At this point, if the guild doesn't split In more related matters, has the full card list been spoiled yet? This thread exploded since the last time I looked, and I fear I've lost the link to whatever it was that the fans were putting together regarding a database of cards.

The other main site seems to be this one - personally I like the interface a lot better, but each to their own. We're still missing a lot of cards, though, and we're missing equipment for most of the cards we do have.

I've always felt that the proper way to eat a steak depended entirely on the quality of the steak. The best ones need nothing, but you better believe I was slathering my chow hall USDA Grade D steaks in A1 back when I was in the military.

It was a problem in WoW strictly because there weren't enough guild slots to go around but I doubt it'll be a problem with Hex. The vast majority of goon-vouched people i've played with have been fine.

"Neat, there must be some new news about Hex because there's like 30 new posts!" Steak chat. The one true steak is from glorious Nippon, or Japan for all you gaijin. The only beef that should be used for steak is Wagyuu beef. It's taste,... it's just so,... Moe~ Edit: Beta is like, what, September-ish? That feels like forever from now.

I wonder if the guild thing is designed to foster guild rivalries. Since they're actually rewarding high performing guilds (guilds who put people in top 8's), I suppose they want to avoid everyone being in Giant Guild X in addition to their "real" guild so that the can benefit from the rewards.

Oh, there's actually mechanical benefits for being in a successful guild? I wonder if that's done by average placing, or by how many good placings the guild can field. If it's the latter, you could have any number of people get "carried" by a much smaller number of skilled players consistently t8ing.

I think that's more likely, because the alternative is people throwing guildmates out for not being good enough and bringing the rest of the guild down, which will just create a toxic environment in the game.

I believe what has been said so far is that your guild will get test decks from specific big events if you have a member who preforms at a certain high level. I don't think it's based on average performance so much as having a single member who preforms well in an event. This makes a lot more sense from a financial perspective because if your guild has one good player who wins you a set of test decks, then you can encourage other players to buy the actual cards for those decks post-testing in order to compete in the next big event.

Seriously though what kind of loving barbarian eats well-done steaks. I usually find that slow life-drainy decks in magic are poo poo (which is a shame cause I love the black/white color combo but Orzhov presses that needling stuff really hard), cause it always seems like there are better things to devote resources to than little incremental life drains, like removal and card advantage and poo poo that actually enhances your position. But I gotta say that the Necrotic lifedrain champions look pretty interesting. Having that as something that's passive, always available, and doesn't interfere with any of your other resources sounds great. If I don't have to dedicate a card in my deck/hand to a little 1/1 dude who I can tap to drain 1 life, having that in my deck actually seems like it might be worthwhile. Or hell, even making a dedicated life drain deck, since it'll always have some form of gas with these guys. I'm really digging champions overall. They're a very elegant little mechanic.
