    Fall from Heaven II (Civ IV full mod)

    Seen this recommended a number of times in the past and been playing it for the first time the last few days. Only scratching the surface at the moment but already seeing why it is so highly and so often praised. It just blows away anything Sid Meier has done with the series in the last 20...

    Nail on the head as usual from Qhue. If you don't want to be semi gimp you need to spend a fortune on runes. Once you aren't semi gimp you are going to be replacing gear and therefore more runes. Materials for basic runes should be more common.

    If you do some parses you'll see by far the majority of Eng DPS comes from your Vol spenders. A lot of folks are using Electrocute. Bolt Caster is superior, particularly for single target, which is a large part of end game. After spenders your artillery bot does great dps and benefits most from...

    Still no help from petitions initially made over two weeks ago - trade skills bugged and world story bugged at lvl 42. I'll be cancelling my account. As an aside their latest bug - some people don't see loot rewards or get to roll on them from doing adventures.

    Guild Wars 2

    I don't know what's changed over the last 12 months but it used to be that Engie stood out for spamming AE. Elementalist and Rangers get AEs but they have cooldowns and can't be spammed. For WvW 2-3 Engies can own walls when sieging like nothing else. It's not glamorous, it doesn't net you many...

    Book Club Redux

    Unethical but consider keeping an email list of interested people taking part and at the start of each selection email them an epub/mobi of each book along with an encouraging nudge to buy anything you enjoy ? Consider doing a biography/autobiography each selection.

    All true, but be aware that highest (by some ways) Engineer DPS is gained by constantly rolling around (Reckless Dash amp). It allows you to do away with most all of your builders and run a two button attack, with tier 8 Artillery Bot and Tier 8 Bolt Cannon (second button is a 1 or 2 point...

    I would say this is less forgiving than vanilla Rift, certainly in terms of reward. I'll be pleasantly surprised if they don't start nerfing stuff within a couple of months.

    Yeah one of the two bots is dismissed when you mount and then frequently it's cooldown isn't off when you've moved to your next pull spot. They are an absolute pain in the bollocks, simple as. One of the bots remains summoned when you mount - other classes pets don't have aggro issues - no...

    Yes, DPS is not an issue. The problem is the bots once you hit zones and instances with tight concentrations of mobs that constantly aggro. Parts of Malgrave and Grimvault were especially a pain. There are ways around it - if you are playing in a duo then it's faceroll and if the places I'm...

    Engineer is top DPS end game right now but a total ball ache to level from 25 - 50 Medic is poor to mediocre DPS end game but a blast to level. I'd also take Esper or SS healing over a Medic any day. Game has a lot of things going for it but classes need a lot of work. Now I'm one of the...

    In case anyone isn't aware, when you place items in your housing area some of them give you buffs. There are five kinds of buffs - Ambience, Aroma, Comfort, Lighting and Pride. Each can be rated low, medium and high. The important thing is this : as each buff increases so does the amount of...

    This was the case through most of the game, but beware of doing this in the last 2-3 zones. I got into the final zone at 46.3, did every quest in there and dinged 50 on the very last quest. Few guys were complaining about running out of quests. Large parts of the final quests chains start at 48...

    If you target them there's a little red 'x' you can click on to dismiss them. Huge pain to have to constantly dismiss and summon them though.

    Spent the last 6 hours trying to reset/log in to my secondary NC Soft account to apply a Wildstar code to it. I know it goes without saying but fuck me NC Soft are beyond pathetic when it comes to support. As an aside AMP reset rates are based purely on your level. At lvl 50 it's 50 gold so...

    I've heard you can level all crafts and harvesting on one toon - you can only 'equip' two at a time, but when you swap back into something you haven't lost any levels or recipes. Not tested it. Eng really sucks soloing due to the pets constantly aggroing mobs. The last couple levels to 50 were...

    Nothing to do with addons mate - multiple other people stood around at most of these quests waiting for mobs that don't spawn. Story quest is just badly designed with i) mobs stuck in geometry that you can't get at ii) no way to get out of the initial area when you re enter the instance...

    First dungeon is level 20 but you can enter it at 17 - everyones level gets set to 20 on entry. Once you are level 20 you can be summoned to it and once you've entered it for the first time you you can (either solo or as a party) can use dungeon finder to enter it from anywhere.

    If it's what you know best why are you advocating using Electrocute the most when it's now one of the poorer choices for leveling ? Also Eng is like Hunter because it is ranged DPS and has pets which can either add DPS or tank for you and give you buffs. You're obviously spot on with the...
