    Guild Wars 2

    Finished the griffon yesterday. Then started on an alt in the older zones, trying to get my engineer up to speed. Mounts change the game, but the griffon is definitely king of bypassing mobs, hard jumps, walls, etc.

    Guild Wars 2

    Really enjoyed this expansion so far. The zones are huge, lots to explore. Finished the story, that was fun and not too tough, didn't die that much. Working on the griffon mount. Should have it tonight or tomorrow. Not sure what to do in PoF after the griffon mount though.

    Login rewards sometimes drop Black Lion Salvage Kits. They have a better rate for getting dark matter. Be sure to log in every day even if you are not playing, the login rewards are pretty good.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    I still hope this comes out and is a good game. Never funded this. Was going to but by the time I got around to it they had millions in the bank already. I like to fund games / etc that I like and I think need the help. Chris doesn't need my money. Sounds like they need some help though, this...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    That has something to do with the San Diego ... err LA Chargers coaches and ownership. Don't know what exactly what, but it has to be. For the last 3 or 4 years the Chargers have had a rash of team crippling injuries. Been a Raiders fan forever, and always will be. Moved to San Diego a couple...

    Guild Wars 2

    Yeah. GW2 is the game I always go back to. A huge reason for that is that it is so easy to go back to. Also there is a ton to do, and most of it is optional. For most other mmo's you have to study for days to remember all the intricacies of playing effectively. And then grind gear for days or...

    Cut scenes are one of the better parts of this game.

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Ok, my previous post was just for luls. For reals, there is something basic that we are not aware of. Perhaps intelligent (that uses technology) life is extremely rare, almost statistically impossible. Perhaps intelligent life all evolves very quickly into energy spheres or some such. Maybe...

    The Fermi Paradox -- Where is everybody?

    Life is probably common. Intelligent life is probably common. Idiots like Kim Jung Il are probably common in every "intelligent" species. Planets devoid of life because of nuclear fall out are probably common.

    Guild Wars 2

    Go check out the other zones too. You can get most of the masteries you need by exploring them a bit. Also, the second zone event seems to be farmed quite a bit during the weekend. Last couple of zones are a bit harder to navigate (and tougher mobs), but if you spend enough time in them, they...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I usually don't have an issue with RMT in mmos as long as the devs do a good job of keeping it to a minimum. You can't eliminate them, but if they're not too obvious, then I can ignore it. The problem with this server (and many asian mmos) is that there are so many rmt farmers / exploiters and...

    Guild Wars 2

    Masteries sucked. Hate the whole design. Locking the last ones behind content people never wanted to play was just moronic and went against their base philosophy of "play your way". But I started playing again with the new expansion announcement and it seems they added a whole bunch of easy to...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Other than actually being released, my only concern about this game is that with all the feature bloat and sim stuff, they kill the fun factor. Freelancer wasn't anything groundbreaking really, but I had a lot of fun in that game.

    Guild Wars 2

    Apparently the new expansion has some pretty big maps with waypoints spread far apart. So the need is probably only for those maps. Much like gliding is really only necessary in the HoT maps. But even if they're just for fun, that's cool.

    Guild Wars 2

    One of the 3 home server maps is the HoT map. The other 2 are Alpine. They started doing that a few months ago.

    Guild Wars 2

    If you WvW then you want the elites from HoT. There are some good parts to HoT, I really enjoyed the gliding stuff, and had fun for a couple of weeks in the new zones. But for the most part HoT was a disaster (especially for WvW). They have fixed many of those initial issues though.

    Apologies for the off topic question. Can anyone here recommend a fairly recent game that is basically Freelancer 2.0? I have Elite, that isn't it.

    Camelot Unchained

    First 10 levels of Warhammer was some of the best mmo PvP / RvR ever done imo. Fucking glorious. Jumping in to the game for the first time and immediately queueing up for a dwarf vs orc battlefield was just so damn cool. And the low level rvr was endlessly entertaining. WarHammer was pretty...

    Booze and Qwerty are both the same but from different viewpoints. They are unintelligent morons who say the same stupid irrational crap over and over with an occasional lucid sentence. Except booze adds monstrous pics that fill up the space and makes the thread unreadable. Qwerty was easy to...

    You made one good post and then decided to go back to full retard, Qwerty style. Perhaps a stay in the rickshaw would be good for you. You certainly have the lack of brain cells to justify it.

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

    This is very true. The mmo landscape has changed in many ways that make it nearly impossible to totally recreate the EQ experience of the unknown. Also the players are better and much more technically savvy. RMT is everywhere. Etc. So a reskinned EQ really isn't viable. But there are other...

    John Smedley hired by Amazon to produce MMOs

    Won't vouch for him, but he does keep the banter flowing since it comes from a different place than most. I think someone recently posted a gif in one of the threads here about how keeping your mouth shut sometimes makes you cool. A little self restraint goes a long ways.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    They really did design the season lengths well. I'm jonesin' again. Caught myself watching bad football movies last weekend. Hoping the Raiders live up to the hype, it's been a long time since we were in the sun. I hate hype though, it rarely goes well.

    Lol. You really take this stuff much too seriously. You run around with your thumb up your butt crying "Brad Raped Me!" and then scream when someone calls you out. To you this is serious business and you spend all of your waking days figuring out how to cry some more about Brad. I mean it...

    Hyperbole much? How does me not pre judging a game equate to being a shill? Actually though, I dont think of Convo or Qwert as being shills, even though you and many others here do. They just happen to have opinions that went against the lemming tide. Many on this board call you a shill if you...

    And what "bullshit" are you supposedly calling me out on? My first post that you responded to talked about the problems of Vanguard also. Me thinks you are backtracking big time.

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

    I refuse to pre judge a game that isn't even close to being out yet. This board has an iffy track record on pre judging mmo's. Most people here had their heads fully up the backside of Wildstar..... guess that didn't work out so well.

    John Smedley hired by Amazon to produce MMOs

    Lol. You really are butthurt about this. All I said is that it was minimal for me, and not even game breaking. Why does that fact make you taste piss in your cheerios? Too funny. You just can't accept that some people had a great time in Vanguard. Sucks to be you.

    John Smedley hired by Amazon to produce MMOs

    Of course I did, it was very minor for me though. Not even close to game breaking. Why you are getting your panties in a bunch is the real issue here. Your tears are endlessly salty. It amazes me that you are still crying about a game that came out years and years ago. It really is pathetic.

    VG was a fucking great game. But you needed a monster machine. I had just built a new mini cray when VG came out so never had any issues. Unfortunately when Sony took over, they assigned 2nd rate devs to the game and fucked it into the ground trying to fix it. VG definitely needed fixing so...

    I think for low to medium levels that is true. I haven't even finished the MSQ even though I've been subbed for a long time. And so far everyone is very nice, helpful and forgiving. BUT, I'm on Gilgamesh in a FC that is full of elitists (60 plus - in almost every role) that complain nonstop...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    When Jim Bob Cooter (great f'ing name) took over the offensive coordinator position in mid 2015 Stafford really started to take off. Stafford will probably beat Carr's contract. That's just the way the NFL works.

    Yeah, that was my first impression. But the mulit-target does sound cool. Will be interesting to see if it can work. They said If it doesn't then they'll switch it to something more conventional. Beta is still a ways away.
