    MLB 2013 season

    Feel really bad for Darvish, Another 1-0 loss today. That's four 1-0 losses for him this year - the first pitcher to do so since Orel Hershiser. Rangers offense sucks so bad. Mitch Moreland and David Murphy should quit baseball this offseason.

    There will never be a new MMO that can appease the hardcore for more than a month. They can't generate content fast enough - you should all quit MMOs now.

    You don't need to run it 74 times to be raid ready, don't listen to these faggots - none of them ran AK/WP/CM or any combo 74 times before they beat Titan and started on BC. They had relics, and some mix of Darklight and strategos/demagogue/toxtes/peltast/etc. You don't need full darklight in...

    MLB 2013 season

    Are you serious? After the two big losing streaks this year - he had a 30-45min closed door meetings and after both meetings they went on huge win streaks to reclaim the AL West (last time the streak had them 6 games up on Oakland). He can't have closed door meetings every time they are...

    MLB 2013 season

    This is Washington's best year managing the team yet - he isn't getting fired. They are a team with no DH (this is a killer), a terrible Left fielder, and their best hitter outside of Adrian Beltre has been suspended. Not to mention all the pitching injuries they have had to endure this year...

    Looks like /shout is ratelimited now as a way to combat spammers. Maybe yell and say too.

    It wouldn't do anything to stop the current Gil Spammers - the majority of them are hijacked accounts of actual players with characters above whatever threshold you could reasonably set (say needing 1 class over level 10).

    Fishing initially let a ton of gil into the game, especially from bots. They'd just sell the fish to merchants. Some of the high end content also dropped lots of gil or items that sold for gil. But honestly you didn't need a ton of Gil in FFXI because you could always liquidate your gear and...

    The important thing to watch is the cast timer not the red area on the ground - the cast usually finishes a half second before the red area on the ground disappears.

    They can't increase the concurrent player cap much more - they have no open world instancing technology and Coerthas and Mor Dhona are already FATE rape fests of 200 man zergs. Exactly - every new MMO launch makes the same mistake - Launch a bunch of new servers to meet demand, then they become...

    They increased the server caps from 5000 to 7500-7800 and there are still people trying to get in, at noon on a fucking weekday. What happened to school and work?

    I played for about 3 hours this morning before work on Excalibur, no issues. The lobby server may be down but the servers themselves are up.

    I'm pretty sure the lobby server instability is caused by all us impatient fucks using scripts and flooding it with login attempts.

    If you read their posts, they have been testing it all weekend. Them moving forward Wednesday was with the caveat that the testing went well, so they must feel pretty confident.

    That's how every game works. SE aren't alone. If you buy something on Steam for your PC it doesn't mean you can download it on your PS3 and play it. Yes, it's the same account.

    The end of the story quest was freaking epic. If the upcoming story/expansions is close to that or FF11 story stuff it will be awesome.

    Here it is: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...320904327f6f37 It was stickied at the top of Lodestone for like 3 days, stickied at the top of the FFXIV reddit, it was on the launcher, etc.

    You guys are idiots - they even posted a huge article on Lodestone before MogStation went live telling you NOT to create a new service account when applying your retail code.

    MLB 2013 season

    In Darvish's losses this season, he has a sub 3.00 ERA - Rangers offense has been streaky much of the year due to losing some power hitters to FA/suspension/injury (they are doing much better now that they have switched up the lineup and switched up their style since losing Cruz). Meanwhile he's...

    WiiU and 2DS News(no not 3DS) WiiU price Drop/phase out

    Yeah man, epic fail. Selling 100 million Wii's, 153 million DS, and 30 million 3DS (in 2 years total) - Sony would love for some of that epic fail. Nintendo will never let their exclusive's go to other consoles or handhelds - it's the only reason they can compete with MS and Sony without...

    The actual game servers themselves can handle more players as they are currently configured - on the first day of EA they had no limits on how many could login (there was no 1017 error). Where their infrastructure failed was the Instance/Duty Finder server that is cross-server - it didn't work...

    They already hit 190k concurrent users this weekend, and expect to hit 200,000 when they take the limits off. http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/08/...expected-soon/ Opening new servers has never been the answer on congested MMO launch weeks - it just leads to ghost towns and server merges...

    Wherever you bought the game from. Amazon would of e-mailed it to you on the 27th - you can probably log into Amazon and find it under digital purchases, too.

    WiiU and 2DS News(no not 3DS) WiiU price Drop/phase out

    The 2DS is pretty much for the age 7 and under demo, looks like. Sturdier, no hinge, and the 3D part of 3DS wasn't recommended to be used by young children.

    Summer 2013 Anime Thread

    Blame the author, it ended pretty much the same way as it did in the novels. The author said he wasn't able to do the ending he wanted because the publishers wouldn't allow it (aka explicit incest). Bring on Golden Time from ToraDora creator, that's an author I can get behind.

    You had to stay online to sell, just like most Asian MMOs. I never used that feature though, much preferred selling on Auction House. They had an optional Auto logout thing in the settings for in case you fell asleep or something though.

    Pretty good but I've only got the first Scholar spell so far. It's a combo heal+damage ward - if the heal crits the ward portion doubles. I think at 35 you get a group version of the same spell.

    The pet isn't that strong - it's mainly good for mitigating/healing damage done to your DPS group members. It definitely can't near keep up heals on the tank during bosses or large pulls, and that's just from experience in Haukke Manor.
