Can't really say how much they were nerfed because I never did one of the "ogre maps" before the change. However, I did one now with 50 ogres in it and got about 10-15% of a level at level 22 for doing it solo. Given that it took about 15 min kill all of them I would say that regular questing is...

True, but so is the end game. Possibly even more so. Of course it might just seem that way to me after having raiding way too much in both EQ and WoW.

I'm enjoying it so far. Combat feels more fun than in many other MMOs. The graphics and animations definitely look a bit dated. I agree that the prices in the case shop are quite high. Personally I think they would be better off trying to sell more at lower prices instead. On the other hand...

Depends a bit on what your mindset is. I reason that if a game is not fun right now it's not worth playing. For example I would not play a game if leveling was dull just because the end game might be fun. As a consequence the whole time investment aspect becomes much less important for me. After...

There are several native species of psychoactive mushrooms in Scandinavia such as Psilocybe semilanceata and Amanita muscaria. However, it is uncertain if the vikings actually used them.

LFR gear is currently 502 while normal level gear is 522. Also, I don't think the color of an item has any impact on the amount of stats it has anymore (but I could be wrong).

I don't really have a problem with these kinds of players not getting invited to top guilds. That's fine. The problem is that unless the guild is exceedingly casual, people will look at the DPS meters when you don't make the enrage timer and if people are "under performing" they will feel bad...

Or people that are nice and fun to play with but that never will be skilled players. Back in EQ or early WoW these players were fine. Sure, they "got carried" but since there were no meters and you killed the bosses anyway everything was ok. A few years of meters, spreadsheets and "hard raids"...

Yes, I have always been in favor of this solution. Possibly, add some competitive mode where you can lock the raid size for your guild for a raid tier so that guilds can compete if they want.

Very useful chart! My friend always play a SPG so that explains it. I was starting to wonder why I get matched against lower tiers when playing a tier 5 heavy solo than when we play tier 4 together...

I like this game. However, the match making can be seriously annoying. Not sure if we're just being unlucky, but I generally play grouped with a friend and if we both play Tier 4 tanks we more often than not end up against Tier 7-8 tanks. And that's not much fun since we rarely do any...

Definitely going to buy this one. Game looks fun and the trailer is totally awesome.

Yeah, you don't really need to be a criminal mastermind to come up with the idea -- elementary school chemistry, physics and a little imagination is enough. Back when I was a kid in the 80s we figured out that if you put some suitable fuel with an oxidizer in a strong metal container the result...

Hah, good to know that I'm not the only one that this happens to on a regular basis. Many games turn out like what seems an endless repetition of that picture for me.

It works really well in MoM. I guess they didn't use it in the Civ games because it would slow down the pace of the game.

I'm not so sure about sword fighters being more skilled if you go back a few hundred years. At least not in Japan where where Kendo is a very competitive sport today with several hundred thousands of dan-grade practitioners. While they don't actually train to kill people, someone with the best...

I agree, Master of Magic was really awesome. In way its a bit depressing that it probably still remains the best game in the genre after so long. I like how it even allowed you to create custom magical items for your heroes.

They were probably no more inclined to rape than anyone else at the time. However, until fairly recently, most cultures were fine with people robbing/killing/raping as long they they didn't do it in a friendly country or limited themselves to slaves. Looting and rape were important parts of most...

To me it feels a bit anachronistic. I think it would be more likely that she would have thought he was wasting time when he should have been rounding up the loot instead.

One thing that worked well for me was to decide on a reasonable rate of weight loss and then adjust food intake to achieve that. Basically, after some research I decided that 1kg/week was reasonable and that my goal was to lose 23kg. Then I drew a graph and plotted my weight every day or two...

I bet that its a lot easier to get additional funding if you have a massively over-funded kickstarter to help convince people that the final product will sell.

Anyone know if the current class names are just placeholders or if they are actually going to use them at release? Call me conservative, but I would have preferred something a little less generic.

Seems that The Pirate Bay had to move again and is now hosted in North Korea:http://falkvinge.net/2013/03/04/afte...m-north-korea/

Piracy is the catalyst that is needed to reform the market because it gives incentives to change business models -- and ultimately laws. In the end it will benefit everyone. Imagine a country where colored people had to sit at the back of the bus. Now, you could ignore this law because you felt...

I think copyright laws in their current form are unjust and feel no remorse breaking them. In fact, I consider it moral to break unjust laws. So I download whatever I like and feel good about it. On the other hand, I also feel that content producers should be able to make money so I buy the...

Personally, I would love a subscription based service like Spotify, but for all forms of content (TV/movies/music etc). As long as it had almost all content produced and there wasn't any inconvenient DRM crap I would gladly pay a reasonable subscription fee for it (not sure what is reasonable...

Wasteland and Pool of Radiance made 1988 a really good year. Really looking forward to WL2.

In no particular order: Master of Magic Wastelands Pool of Radiance Longest Journey/Dreamfall Baldur's Gate series

I think the Shepard/Hawke solution works very well. A fully voiced protagonist definitely adds a lot. As long as it does not limit your ability to customize your character I'm all for it. However, if I have to chose I would take a silent protagonist over limited customization.
