    You don't need DR for it to scale back. It's just what percentage of 20 int is relative to the rest of your stats and your weapon damage. The % based abilities in blood for blood/internal release will always increase by a flat percentage and thus perfectly scale/stack with any weapon/gear...

    This is where you're going wrong. 20 int to someone using a garuda weapon and either darklight (or god forbid a mix of ak/darklight gear) is a much bigger portion of your overall stats than someone who's using full Allagan. All the ilvl90 stuff counts as a 50% increase over to the ilvl70...

    All the ilvl90 Allagan weapons are datamined. Twintania dropped one of those weapons in the bugged kill from the euro guild, so it's not really a big leap to conclude that all of those weapons are on Twintania's loot table.

    Fun bit of a knowledge: With access to the Allagan caster weapon/allagan gear, THM's are the best DPS class in the game. The only reason why THMs switch to BLM right now is because the Relic weapon is BLM only. Using the allagan THM weapon lets you use all of the main THM damage...

    These bans are ridiculous. Square Enix is great at making games, but fucking awful at supporting them properly.

    Yeah. I don't think you're getting what Ut is saying. Lets simplify things to make sure everyone is on the same page categorically: Do developers care if people like their game? Yes. Because it's validation for the ego, and means their product is successful. What developers don't give a...

    Yeah. This doesn't mean shit for the average person in which the conversation is about. I don't think the average poster here really gives a shit about the profitability of the website, beyond the fact that it's hopefully covering whatever server costs it may incur. Sorry. It's incredibly naive...

    It's just an issue of time. People with gear that still want to run CM for cash/alts/whatever. I don't see why those people should feel forced to take those that are undergeared. You can make all the arguments about being competent in the world, but it doesn't change the fact that you're going...

    "Developer involvement" is not a positive thing. Anyone who thinks that is a deluded fool. Because the reality is that the developers are rarely going to listen to players on anything except the most obvious "everyone agrees" issues. And guess what? They don't have to interact with the...

    I think in the end, the only course places can take (and it won't be foolproof but it'll make things harder) is to do full background checks on potential mods. They need to go out of their way and get solid proof that the person who they're bringing on as a mod has a job that would preclude...

    It goes beyond this too. A big deal for these people is to get into moderator positions on larger websites. If you step into the wrong thread on a place like NeoGAF and call out obvious shill posts, you'll actually just get straight up banned by certain mods. Particularly apparent if you go...

    Also when it comes to word phrasing that reeks of being a schill - " I was absolutely delighted both times by how beautiful the game was, how smooth the characters moved and overall quality of such minor details." Who the fuck says "absolutely delighted" as a phrase? That reads like a...

    Believe it or not, when you play MMOs for a long time you end up with a rather long list of people who have similar opinions to yourself. You're not even fucking refuting anything I mentioned about the feedback I'm relaying. You're simply bashing it because it wasn't me individually who played...

    I have a handful of friends that played in TESO beta in the last weekend test. Every single one of them said that the game was unpolished, buggy, and generally felt like ass. They mentioned a lot of what UT just brought up above, but also the fact that the game feels clunky and unresponsive -...

    Black Mages are probably the most in demand DPS right now. Especially since half the server ended up rolling a bard alt. Probably more interest for groups at the high end as BLM as well (when compared to the healing classes).

    Firefall

    Looks like people from The9 are stepping in and actively cutting parts of the company they deem waste. The first shot of many really: http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/09...nch-reorganiz/ The useless fratboy video division just got cut it looks like.

    Firefall

    They were at 140-150 for most of this last year off the top of my head. Not sure about numbers before that. I really don't think you comprehend just how remarkably inept the leadership at that company has been over the past 7 years. Seriously.

    Firefall

    It's a legitimate website that doesn't make up numbers. Not really sure why you're disbelieving what's in front of your face. I mean just as a reminder, we're talking about the company that: Spammed PAX for YEARS with a huge booth and advertisements everywhere. Bought a 2 million dollar...

    http://seekingalpha.com/article/1552...its-eyed-in-q4 And in terms of wasting money, it's not hard to see that they had utterly incompetent top end leadership. They spend 2 million on a bus, 1 million on a statue, and 3.5 million sponsoring a chinese soccer team. Let alone the "Stage 5 group"...

    Firefall

    From The9's quarterly reports: I think Firefall might officially be the biggest MMO failure of all time. Given that the game has made close to zero money, a 130 million dollar budget isinsane. Holy shit. At least SWTOR made most of it's money back.

    Lets cut through the crap here for a moment and phrase this another way: There is no scenario in where someone making a group for end game content right now would want to choose a summoner over any other DPS class. Because summoners get outdamaged by every other DPS class, and the one perk...

    Just as a PSA: Don't go Arcanist and expect to do anything but play Scholar. It's rapidly turning out to be the case that Summoners are complete dogshit at challenging end game content. When you have burst DPS checks like Titan heart, a summoner is a gigantic liability.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    What. I'm calling bullshit on this. Given that the NFL is projected to bring in over 10 billion (with a B) dollars in gross revenue this year. MMO's don't come even remotely close to that, let alone being "lots more".

    I'm not sure why they made low armor GLD/MRD gear a thing, but holy shit. Two groups in a row for Brayflox now where the tank was made of paper and took 30-40% of his life per hit from the first boss. All because they were too stupid to equip gear that's actually tank gear.

    It's because Lancer feels awkward moreso than most of the DPS classes. In terms of "feel" from best to worst, I'd rank the DPS classes as follows: 1.) Archer 2.) THM 3.) Pugilist 4.) Lancer 5.) Arcanist Archers feel awesome to play. The THM rotation is tight and makes sense. Pugilist...
