Last I checked profitable games weren't a waste of anything.

Defensive/Offensive targeting was in the game before anyone had ever thought of the Bloodmage. It was in there when I joined the team in early 2005. I thought it was one aspect of Vanguard that newer games might take as I felt it was a great idea.

That post is false in almost every way. It wouldn't shock me if there was an EQ3 in the works, but Planetside 3? No.

Actually, there is only 1 question to ask: Is it fun to play? If the answer is ultimately yes, then the gaming community wins. If not, then the game withers away and dies.

Holly was the one who actually floated the idea of working WITH the P99 people.. You can talk shit all you want, but I worked with her for 8 years.. She was a solid designer on EQ, and the best producer I worked for in my time there. She gives a shit, and works hard.

You guys have Holly all wrong. She's a great person and truly gives a shit about EQ.

We were all told we were acquired by Columbus Nova. Epstein was the head guy managing us, we were told. The squirming and shuffling going on at DBG looks shady as hell to me.

Loving this game. It's making me want to drag out my old PnP mech sheets!

Wow.. H1Z1 was rockin when I left.. Talk about a train coming off the tracks.. I've been playing a lot of Fortnite myself.. It's a blast both PVE and Battle Royale.. PUBG is a bit more gritty but both are well done games.

Unless DBG is in its death spiral, EQ and EQ2 IP won't be sold off. They're profitable. When I left, H1Z1 was making A LOT of money, as was DCUO, so to see them gut the H1Z1 team is very surprising. They've cut almost all of their community people, HR people, and others. Truthfully, when I saw...

At least one 15 year game designer was let go this morning.. Doesn't sound like EQ was hit but that was a skeleton crew already when I left back in 2015.

This is sounding like more than just some layoffs. I know people who have been there 18+ years who were shown the door with zero warning.

Anneke is just incredible.. Love this woman!

My gym playlist is mostly Periphery, Monuments, Veil of Maya, Devin Townsend Project..

Yeah.. my friend Kevin was LP's monitor engineer for over 15 years. He and Chester were very good friends. It really shook him up when he got the news. Kevin told me everyone knew Chester had demons, but he was always the guy who made sure everyone around him was good and never seemed to worry...

Actually, Gordon is a hardcore Trump defender.. He's definitely NOT left wing by any stretch of the imagination.

You go to see Ozzy to see the godfather of heavy metal and hear those songs live, not to see a great show. Ozzy has never been a great stage presence, even in Black Sabbath's prime. All he's done for 30 years is jump around like a monkey and throw buckets of water at people. Meh.

Ugh.. the Blaze Bailey years.. What a fucking disaster that guy was..

Anneke.. Freaking love her.. The band is called Vuur.. CD came out a couple days ago.. it's great stuff!

That's why I like a string-thru body.. Changing tunings is literally a couple seconds.. My PRS is Drop C.. 1st step down, w/low E another full step MusicMan JP6 is Drop D (and it'll stay there forever because I hate adjusting trems too!) Regius Core is standard Duvell Qatsi is Open C add 9 My...

I have 3 Mayones, and a PRS SE Holcomb.. no trems on any of them.. They stay in tune always.. I also have a MusicMan JP-6.. the tremolo is kind of a pain in the dick..

These guys are incredible prog..

Yeah.. the Carvin shop is right up the freeway from where I live.. They make great guitars for sure. I really hope they survive.. The Carvin Audio side of the business is shutting down..

If you look for the FB group "Mayones Available Guitars" there's always guys selling them for a lot less than that. The Regius I just bought was less than $3k shipped to my door. The only one of mine that is $4k is the 100% custom 7-string Duvell I ordered. I picked the wood, the neck shape...

Pay to join NF/Raid incoming... Fuck that shit.

Chris Roberts can't get out of his own way. He's lost sight of making a fun game. No producer can reign him in because they want to keep their job. If you challenge his stupidity, you'll be fired.

I bought the game on Steam. I wish I would have bought it direct. Their Steam implementation is so fucking horrific it defies description.. Every time they do a content patch, Steam tries to download 44GB of shit, and corrupts a ton of files, which causes their own launcher/patcher to download...

AA happened long after I was gone from the VG team.

If Brad and company can get the gameplay to the point where you're not simply staring at your XP bar, and randomly mashing buttons until something dies, then he'll have a winner. So long as each class feels useful, it'll work.

Nope. He's back at Cryptic.

Caps are nice, but having seen them up close and compared them directly to Mayones, I can't see paying the kind of money Caparison wants for a machine built guitar.

I need to do NF and raid. Tag is Fakaro

Nope.. looking for IEDs and hunting Taliban and ISIS assholes

Sometimes. I've seen Floyds on almost all their models. They seem to normally come with a fixed bridge, but you can do a lot of custom stuff with Mayones for very little extra money, keeping in mind they're very pricey anyway. My new 7 string Duvell Elite, I had them change the wood, Hipshot...

Heh.. Not rich, but I'm doing pretty well out here in Afghanistan..

Fuck me.. I just bought a Mayones Regius 6 now too.. I've lost my damn mind.

I really want to try the new BK Ragnaroks.. I might put them in my Qatsi when I get home.

Can't seem to get Periphery, Monuments, Devin Townsend Project, Haken, and Mastodon out of my playlist for about the last year.

My problem is schedule. I work 6a - 6p out here, which is 6:30p to 6:30a back home.. So when I want to play, most of my friends are sleeping.

Yeah.. that's an unexplored area. The UI and User Experience will be hugely important. Fuck that up, and I doubt people will try it again for a long long time.
