    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Playing on my 30 enchanter Zlexx. Have charmed solo since 16, much better experience than groups. Druid partners needed! Lets rock this shit.

    Hotspot been jammed?

    I actually have first hand experience with this. Staying at the Marriott in Houston at George Bush Int'l airport, my Verizon Mifi Hotspot did not work, period. Usually it provides 4G internet anywhere 4G is available. I started asking around with coworkers and they were already aware their...

    Total War: Atilla (Rome 2 Stand Alone Expansion)

    So is Rome II finally worth playing? I'm one of the suckers who bought it day 1 and then uninstalled that heap of shit within an hour. I love the TW series but will probably never buy one of their products at release again.

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    Sorry I should have been more clear, I'm asking about logistical things related to playing online coop, ie make sure the posting hosting has these minimum computer specs, you need to save both characters to one persons machine, make sure to get this mod for coop play, etc. I'm not asking for...

    Divinity Original Sin Enhanced Edition

    A buddy and I are going to start a coop game this weekend. I haven't played the game yet, anything I should know to make the experience better?

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Hey sometimes I afk and stay online or just miss tells. My point is that even starting fresh, it's not nearly as rough starting out as I remember original EQ being. That being said, if you still want to give me some stuff I'll be on tonight.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I did 1-15 as an enchanter, completely untwinked this weekend. Melx, a board poster saw my post about starting and gave me 40 pp for spells, but other than that no gear or monetary help. Big thanks to him. My best advice is this: as soon as you get level 3 or 4, head to EC. If you're not...

    Promotion / Relocation

    Ehh I didn't say I expected to have a thriving social life after a month, just commenting that it was more difficult to leave behind my old friends than I anticipated. If that makes me a bitch, so be it. I tried to give the OP some counter points to what appears at face value to be an...

    Promotion / Relocation

    I work at MegaCorp and was recently relocated and promoted. Here is my experience: 1. My renter's relocation was $5k cash, which was taxed as normal pay. My coworker owned a home and was not offered owner's relocation (where they appraise and buy your house after it is on the market for a...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Couldn't resist any longer, just started an enchanter, Zlexx. Level 2. I'll be playing most of the weekend... toss me 50 pp and I will be your friend forever.

    Moving to Atlanta

    Thanks for the advice. Sounds like closer to 75 the better.

    Moving to Atlanta

    I'm working just north of where I75 and the 285 loop intersect. Google map says 9.4 miles from Buckhead, 17 minutes without traffic. If I live in Buckhead and commute north on I75 will I miss the heaviest traffic?

    Moving to Atlanta

    The company I work for is relocating me to Atlanta. I'm a 28 year old, single, white male. Where do I want to live? I will be working north and slightly west of downtown. Max I'm willing to pay for rent is around $1,500... Maybe a little more, preferably a little less. Most important...

    Butthurt white guys, an Asian virgin and an angry lesbian walk into a bar...

    The problem I have have with feminism is the same problem I have with any ideology. Ideologies of any kind tend to put out massive amounts of propaganda (normally to receive funding), serve to further the agenda of a specific group or key few, are riddled with hypocrisy, and blindly ignore...

    Butthurt white guys, an Asian virgin and an angry lesbian walk into a bar...

    Man, I am so glad I'm a white male. Getting a job was easy. It's like the hiring managers took stock of their current employees, saw a bunch of generally competent and easy going white guys and decided to hire me too. I wonder why? Also, it's easy to pick up chicks. Generally women assume...

    Dark Souls 2

    Pretty sure vit goes to just 1 lbs. after 20. Also, I glanced at the scaling charts exactly once and seem to recall that str for example scales better from 40 to 50 than it did from 30 to 40. I'm pretty sure it is no longer linear scaling until 40, then a massive drop off after that... This...

    Dark Souls 2

    I'm not disagreeing. Supertouch said the game was easy for him after he beat it with basic armor and an un-upgraded heide sword, with randomly allocated stats. This is hard for me to believe, unless he had extensive prior experience, which doesn't seem to be the case if I'm understanding his...

    Dark Souls 2

    I agree that stuff is fine gear, but by endgame a heide sword you never upgraded isn't going to pack much of a punch.

    Dark Souls 2

    Why did you never upgrade your weapon? You beat the game with an un-upgraded heide sword and beginner armor and found it "easy?" I guess if you went the magic route I could understand. But your seemingly random allocation of stat points sort of contradicts this.

    Dark Souls 2

    Yeah, abusing the AI is almost a design feature. This game is hard, you take what you can get. I seem to recall another game that was pretty popular on this forum that had extensive mechanic exploitation. People raved about it because it encouraged smart play and thinking outside the box...

    Dark Souls 2

    I like that people can't stay level 120 or 150 even through multiple ng+ play throughs, but I agree there will be issues with the relatively low stat soft caps. Something tells me as the game matures the community will come up with a system. Also, I think some people are hung up on the fact...

    Dark Souls 2

    I haven't done any official testing, but the difference to me is in recovery time. I can do one or two attacks with my fire sword or magic mace, and still have enough time to either roll away or block a counter attack. With a 2 hander, the timing is much tighter to effectively avoid/block...

    Dark Souls 2

    Sounds to me like your issues with 1 handed weapons are related to the problems with m/kb controls. One handers are definitely not weak, and I much prefer them to 2-handers. They are essential for fighting multiple mobs because you can attack quickly and still have enough time/stamina to get...

    Dark Souls 2

    Yeah but if you can't handle the 3 sents the hole will be a nightmare. You are correct, you need to go back to town and go down a new path. The entrance to where you want to go will be blocked but there's a way to open it.

    Dark Souls 2

    AFAIK, curse effect has the same effect as death. Your total hp goes down the same amount as it would for dying, and you go hollow. There is no other lingering effect. I believe if you get killed at the same time as being cursed it would in effect be equal to 2 deaths. It can be "cured" with...

    Dark Souls 2

    Damn, caught red handed! You win the semantics war. My whole post was technically an argument, but this is an internet message board, not a dissertation. I was stating my opinions of the game and responding to general critiques I've heard throughout this thread. I was not responding to any...

    Dark Souls 2

    I wasn't talking to you or anyone else specifically, so get over your butthurt. You said yourself that Demon Souls wasn't built for kb/m. Well dumb ass this has more or less the exact same control scheme. I could give two shits less about kb/m controls, because I would never play a game...

    Dark Souls 2

    I'm playing with a controller on PC. Controls feel identical to DS1, other than lack of kick (I'll admit, it's annoying) and the change to jumping (which I prefer personally). I guess I just don't feel a lot of sympathy for those who are bound and determined to use m/kb. Bottom line, the...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    What I want: -Meaningful loot that may last many levels. -The option to solo, but with significantly decreased experience and loot rewards. -No exclamation points, mini maps, or instant travel to places other than city hubs. -Risk. Fear of death. -Class dependence and defined roles...

    That's just like, your opinion, man. Pirate away boys, I thought my original comment would be taken in jest, but apparently it has caused some butthurt, and for that you have my deepest sympathy.

    Then you're just advertising piracy of a great game, and I stand by my original statement: I hope your house burns down.

    Then why would you pirate it? Can't wait 6 hours? Remind me again who the 5 year old is?

    Jimquisition: New Shows on Monday

    I agree, these days a beta on steam really means, "We have the shell of the game in place, it's mostly functional, and if people are willing to pay for it in this state... Fuck it, we're finished!" Specifically I'm looking at Rust and Day-Z, both of which could be tremendous games, but...
