Resto druid feels great. It's like the new healing model was designed for this spec.

Oh dear lord. This still stands out as one of the most surreal experiences I've had online. I mean, the guy gets banned from P99 and then sets out to make his own server (presumably with blackjack and hookers), spends two years on it, and launches something so utterly abject and bug-ridden that...

Yes but isn't it wildly unclassic and full of bugs? Last time I had a look under the hood of a PEQ-based server, just about every single aspect of the code and database had to be overhauled as it only vaguely resembled Everquest. Pretty much every mob had an incorrect spawn table, loot table...

What options are actually available? I know about PEQ which would require months of work in order to be even slightly accurate and bug-free. Are there any better open-source kits these days? Haven't really kept up with eqemu in recent years. edit: I'm talking about a classic server, probably...

This'll be the first time I actually have better gear than the first quest greens of an expansion as I've always quit WoW halfway through the previous expansion. I returned to WoW in order to prepare for WoD and decide on a class to play, and patch 6.0.2 made SoO so easy that I've pugged my way...

Just get Brave New World. It's the latest one and has all the important changes. The middle one (Kings and Gods or whatever) would just provide the campaign if you already have BNW.

When people started streaming the WoD beta, his stream was listed among WoW streams. In the three or four days where I checked out beta streams, I clicked on his about five times just to check. Four times it was just an empty house with the camera pointed at an empty couch and one time he was...

Probably won't be so bad since the factions have separate starting areas. That's where it's normally worst. I was alliance on a completely horde-dominated server at Cata's launch and it was just hopeless, we couldn't do anything for the first two or three days. This server was like 10:90 A:H...

Energy weapons get good when you get a certain weapon, but you have to open a toaster for it. You get it near the end of Arizona and it's basically the best energy weapon in the entire game, which is retarded. It has an armor threshold of 2 which is a bit crap for Arizona because half the...

I think they're doing the right thing, focusing on quality content and logical gameplay again after years of over-designed bullshit. Crap like reforging and upgrading items was never fun, it just meant you had to do a bunch of extra work to prep your gear. Dailies were always a pathetic excuse...

How exactly do connected realms work? If you're on a full realm and they open up transfers to a low-population realm, is it still essentially the same server? What changes besides the name of the realm that I log into?

There's a lot of valid reasons to hate MoP. If you can't see them, that's on you. Not by any objective measures, that's for sure. MoP saw the biggest loss of subs in the game's history, as well as the longest period of time with no new content. It also had two of the biggest and most...

Two patches in and they still don't seem inclined to do anything about the horrendously flawed game mechanics. Once you realize how shit works and what's going on under the hood, you discover that WL2's system for stats, skills, equipment and combat are horrendously badly designed, but as...

It was really annoying to feel like you had to raise enchanting and blacksmithing (or whatever is best) in order to optimize your character, and guilds would expect it of their players. Personally, as someone who dislikes tradeskills, I absolutely hated that I had to do it -- especially because...

Oh god, we're gonna see people spamming all channels trying to sell cool names for months, aren't we?

Those are pretty much the only ones. However, there's either a bug or the most retarded feature in the history of gaming which makes it so that if an enemy is not within sight when combat starts, it can run an unlimited distance in its first turn. Often you'll be starting combat by shooting at...

How do you find a proper guild nowadays without just blindly trying your luck with random ones and hoping for the best? I want to be a raider in WoD, but having not played the game with any real persistence since WotLK, I have no network. None of my friends play, I don't know anybody, and WoW's...

I hate difficulty systems that make you weaker instead of actually making the game itself more difficult. Ranger gives you -25% damage and Supreme Jerk is -50%, which makes it so unappealing to me. I'd rather play Seasoned with a 4-man party and keep the game challenging that way. Also...

Unholy fucker of mothers, this game's stat and skill system is just so unbelievably unbalanced.

Jesus fucking christ the recruitable NPCs in this game are awful. Worst companions in any game I've ever played. I suspect that's probably intentional, but they're so bad that I'm more inclined to play without them because they get in the way and take up resources. Half the skills are pretty...

Is it just me or are the displayed percentages in this game just inaccurate? It feels like some things consistently have about 20-30% less or more chance to happen than it says. No way should my gun jam every five shots when the chance is 3%, and double misses at 85% chance to hit should be much...

Cool game so far, on par with Divinity: Original Sin in terms of quality, and it feels a lot like Fallout 1/2. A lot of the mechanics are really weird, though. For instance, I'm several hours into the game so far and literally every single fight, with no exception, has been horrendously...

Are there any plans (or even enough people) for an EU clan when WoD releases?

It got old after two weeks for me. The game is so mechanically primitive, it feels like WoW's predecessor from which Blizzard stole and improved all of their mechanics for early WoW. FFXIV feels like a game that has regressed ten years in MMORPG history, featuring some of the least innovative...

Gonna give WoW another shot with WoD after not having played seriously since WotLK. I bought both Cata and MoP on release but only played each for less than two weeks before quitting for the rest of the expansions. Can anyone give me a description of how each class performed in MoP and how they...

Yeah, I didn't try it myself, I just read about it and watched someone stream it for about a minute.

Apparently there has been this exploit that allows you to gain absolutely stupendous amounts of exp in complete safety (for yourself, that is; others have to clear rifts for you). During the PTR, the difficulty setting's exp bonus applied in GRifts, which it shouldn't. They fixed that... but...

Yeah, well, I found a Ramalamadingdong but still no weapon worth using it on! Also, I just found a legendary wizard hat for the first time in a week. I'm p260 on my season wizard, having played only that character, and have 250ish forgotten souls. In other words, I've played a fucking lot...

I'm not waiting potentially weeks to find a Ramawhatsit, and when I get one, I'm not using it on a weapon with a mediocre damage roll.

Can't decide what to reroll into a socket. I'm really tempted to keep the LoH as this would largely take care of that stat with just one item, and wizards don't exactly have a wealth of viable healing options. On the other hand, vit is vit and it's a good roll. It would help with staying above...

It's because the entire skill system is designed around using one skill plus a curse which is just a fire-and-forget AoE that takes no real interaction. A few builds situationally use a secondary attack or other utility skill but that's about it. PoE is a one-button game, so if you don't enjoy...

In how many hours does the season launch? I don't fucking know what timezone PDT UTC -7 is.

That can't possibly be the case. One-month seasons would be beyond retarded and 95% of the playerbase would reject it. I'm guessing somewhere between three and six months.

That's not the point, though. The point is that an entire week of farming, at ~8 hours a day, did not allow me to craft one good item. Having to trade for everything and playing the game as some kind of trading simulator is not my idea of fun, especially given the awful trading facilities. If...

Sigh... I'd played pretty heavily since the new leagues started and saved up a shitload of currency. 80+ hours worth of grinding. Tried to craft something, and... just nothing. Over a week's worth of farming down the toilet, no gain, all wasted, simply a complete dud. 30ish chaos orbs, 40ish...

Anyone know if the PS3 version is the same as the PS4 version, aside from the graphics? Also, is Ultimate Evil Edition similar enough to the PC version or is it like the original console D3 which was very different?

We have found the most patient and tolerant person in the world.

Heh. I just 6-linked my chest in about 30 fusings. I figured I'd try for a lucky 5L, but lo and behold, my first ever 6L. Playing strictly self-found, I never thought I'd get one. And a Vaal Regalia at that.

Who the fuck came up with these "kill the target but not any of his guards (which surround him and you)" quests? It's not as if it's reasonable to expect every build to be able to add a powerful single-target element to its repertoire. Several builds literally cannot do this, e.g. dual-totem...

Predicted that Beyond would be an annoying piece of shit. The Rampage mechanic, on the other hand, seems to barely make a difference. That's not so bad in my opinion -- if they can't think of an original idea for a league, at least make it something that has the decency to not get in the way of...
