    Byregot's is GSM, it's Waste Not II I don't have - never thought it looked that necessary. The armour is bound already, so I'll convert away - thanks!

    So I have most crafts at 50, aside from LW, ALC and ARM which are at 15. I haven't really touched them since I quit in around 2.2 (so have melded ilvl 55 stuff) and also have no progress in any desynthesis. My plan is to wait until expansion before I do anything else on them (I need to stop...

    I saw in one of the FAQs that you will supposedly need it per platform. However, this raises the question of how they're going to implement that - what if you upgrade on PC and log out in an expansion zone at level 51, then log in to your PS4? Will it boot you to a non-expansion zone? Will it...

    Thoughts on whether it's worth progressing the relic past Atma (ilvl 100) stage now? I returned last week, so 1 more week should get me the poetry weapon anyway. Managed to gear up to ilvl 105 through WoD on 3 classes - mainly with a view to try and see the final coils before the expansion hits.

    Just came back after 9 months, also finally finished the story. My god is that going to be a slog if you return at the expansion expecting to be able to play the new content... Steps of Faith was utterly soul destroying - I spent 10 hours of duty finder fail groups, 75% of which disbanded as...

    Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey

    Such a fantastic series. Book one has delivered, I really hope we don't have to wait long for each part.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Being able to play with friends is not the same as the game having a community. Community is created from group rivalries, server politics, competition, reasons to interact outside of your guild or friendship group - no recent MMO has managed to really pull that off.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    The issue is that rorg and soj and just too good. It's hard to justify dropping either of them in any build really.. (aside from unity exploiting).

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Probably not that reflective of its sales, bearing in mind it's an online only, downloadable expansion.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    So after a day of playing, my 70 wizard is sitting at 600k paper doll dps and 6m toughness, having upgraded all but three slots. Two of those upgrades are random drop legendaries, the rest are either crafts or rares that have been rerolled through the mystic. This makes torment II doable. I...

    The Grand Budapest Hotel

    A fantastic movie - one of the most enjoyable film experiences I've had in years. Found it to be a frantic, fast paced comedy with Ralph Fiennes delivering an exceptional performance amongst a high calibre cast who all excelled. I've not seen any other Anderson film, but found the...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Well said Flight. I tried to give this game a chance, hell I wanted it to work since I'm a huge Elder Scrolls fan... Unfortunately, the only thing this game has going for it is having aspects voiced by talent such as Michael Gambon and John Cleese. The combat is atrocious, the animations...

    Using crafted gear was never better dps than a correctly tuned ilvl 90 set. It was, however, beneficial for early HP boosts on Twintania.

    After almost a week of attempting to use one of the worst support interfaces in existence, I finally got my gil restored. Only problem is, SE also wiped out my myth/coil/CT items for the week whilst retaining the caps in place. Since I didn't have much gil anyway, I've actually come off worse by...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The best type of factional pvp I experienced was Anarchy Online. Some over control of a raid mob (Tarasque in a dungeon), but mainly the guild vs guild land control. Notum Wars was guild vs guild land control with benefits if you owned the towers on the land. It was also factional so...

    Many people, myself included, could not care less if an MMO is subscription based. Wildstar's hype and marketing has been top notch. It comes across polished even at this stage, so I don't agree that there is no market. Just look at how FFXIV sold, and wildstar is arguably more innovative...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I think the most exciting things are the raiding and warplots. These on top of a more action, skill based combat system are more than enough to make the game worth trying.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I would argue that if you've played at the top levels of any recent MMO - (GW2 pvp, WoW arena, WoW raids etc) you will have been moving just as much as in Wildstar. Movement wise, it's not much different. The combat is a great balance between TERA, GW2 and WoW.

    But CM wasn't designed to be a farm instance. It's clearly there to tell a story with more cutscenes than you can shake a stick at, not to encourage skipping them for a fast tome farm.

    In Anarchy Online, there was a period where the soldier class worked well as a ranged tank - had some fun reflect shield mechanics too!

    Really? I'm really not a fan of the questing, but the completionist in me feels compelled to finish them. I'd much rather be leveling purely from fates/chaining and a few dungeons intermixed. I play a game like this to play with others, not to solo quest.

    I'm not sure what that guy is smoking, but in most European countries the use of credit cards is more advanced than in the US (chip and pin rather than having to manually sign). I assume he must be referring to Eastern Europe or something... Personally I prefer the sub-model. I find that F2P...
