This. Some in the media have already decided on Mahomes as the MVP, completely overlooking what Brees is doing. In a tight race, I just don't see how you can simply focus on the 6 TDs and dismiss the 5 turnovers and losses in the big games. And IIRC, Brees has had those same kind of games in...

Both offenses are great but both have serious deficiencies on defense. I mean, the Cards just held the Chiefs under 30 points. As for Mahomes, 6 TDs is great but 5 turnovers as well. And that’s the second big game this year that he’s choked in the 4th qtr. Hardly MVP calibur.

Ok, that’s absolutely spooky shit right there.

So Alex Smith suffered a horrific leg injury 31 years to the day that Theismann had the same thing happen to him? And Theismann was there today in attendance? Did I hear that correctly?? That’s crazy odds if true. And an awful end to his career.

Sean Payton sending a message to the rest of the league. Dude is just stepping on everybody’s throats.

Fair enough. And I totally agree with the lack of touches for Jones. Made no sense given the success they were having with him.

Did you even read my post? The first thing I said was acknowledging those nice throws. But you can't just gloss over missed opportunities because he once made a nice play back in the first quarter. Completely underthrowing a streaking receiver (I counted at least two of these), or skipping...

Rodgers is good but last night, he was not. For every beautiful throw he had (the TD to Tonyan, the 57 yarder to Adams), there were numerous passes that he underthrew or just plain missed altogether. Hell, as good of a game as Adams had, he probably should've had another 60-70 receiving yards...

Saints may have the best team but still have the most difficult schedule to navigate, including the Eagles, Falcons, Steelers and Panthers twice. Advantage Rams.

Saints have a brutal schedule and they’re just murdering people. I know the Bengals D is bad but they scored on every possession until the final kneel down. Failclowns losing to the Browns is icing on the cake. And that Pats losing big to the Titans?? What a glorious weekend!

To be clear, getting to 80 is probably the biggest challenge. Prior to that, you're basically forced to venture out to multiple places across multiple expansions. Loot, mob difficulty, progression, etc is all over the place and thus, hard to follow. It's not until you reach level 80 and start...

Defiant is fine until your 80s as long as your stay current with them. At 65, you should be in all Elaborate defiant. Once you hit 70, move to Elegant which is where defiant gear tops out at. Once you hit 80, you are eligible to at least wear HoT gear. Farming it yourself may be a little...

I leveled up an alt not too long ago and used the following zones to level. All of these are hot zones: 60 - Veksar (Kunark) 65 - Bastion of Thunder (PoP) 70 - Arcstone (PoR) 75 - Jewel of Atikki (TBS) 80 - Fortress Mechanotus (SoF) 85 - Gyrospire Zeka (SoF) Admittedly, 70-75 felt kinda slow...

Fair? In this place? In this thread??? LOL

Prince of Darkness is still one of my favorite horror movies to this day. I always harped for a sequel, which they set up perfectly, but sadly, it never materialized. Then again, I still have not forgiven Carpenter for the abomination that was Escape from L.A. Such a complete shit-show to such...

I understand all too well what you're saying. My MMO experience started with UO back in '97 when I was in my late 20s and continued on through EQ (the game I identify with the most), EQ2, WoW, DAoC, and so on and so on. I get it. All of those games have led you to this point - that nothing in...

Simply ignoring anything and everything the game might offer and focusing solely on the grind to reach max level as quickly as possible? I get that this is your personal opinion of what appeals to you or maybe what you have time for in your life these days, but I can't help but read this...

Hold on a second! Five of the last six posts above were positive and optimistic for the game. WTH happened to this thread?!

No, we do not have self-driving cars yet. Yes, the technology is there and people are testing it. However, it will still be sometime before these hit the streets due to a wealth of other factors outside of just designing it. Imagine the first time a self-driving car is involved in an accident...

You are correct. Squats are mostly anterior chain (I.e, quads) while deadlift is mostly posterior chain (i.e., hamstrings).

It’s a mix of both. And it all traces back to WoW. We all know that WoW ushered in a whole new set of standards in the genre while simultaneously bringing in an exponential amount of new gamers to the MMO industry. But those new gamers created new dynamics within the industry. For starters...

After reading the last few pages, I think this thread has hit a new low.

Xegony here. Will be the first time I see a new expansion launch in the last 6 years. Looking forward to it.

Personally, I love the detail they are adding to the game. I think it looks amazing and truly brings the game up to par with other games in terms of graphics. Even the animations look improved. Having said that, there is a huge concern that they may be spending too much time in the weeds...

Precisely the point. Blizzard benefitted by building on what EQ already was in the gaming market. I’m sure WoW would’ve been completely different in a number of ways had it been released first. Same for us as players. And vice versa with EQ. Yeah, I realize we can play the “what if” game all...

It makes you wonder how things would’ve turned out had Blizzard released WoW in 1999 and Sony released EQ in 2004.

Agreed, although I would not have been as eloquent.

Discussion of Luclin brings back memories. New models, the AA system, a design that could've been amazing in the same way as Velious was. Just simply rushed out the door way too soon unfortunately. Most of us know that VT was the end game for that expansion and the path to get there went...

Not exactly true. A few years after Luclin was released, they did take a stealth pass at trying to improve the animations. The only problem was that the new changes were far, far worse. As in, the timing was completely off and even more comical than what we have today. It didn't last long before...

Graphics enhancements look amazing now. I'd put them on par with anything else out there in this space. Character models and animations still need some more work but also appear improved. I'm less concerned about server performance under heavy load since it's Unity. At this point, my biggest...

A high-fantasy themed MMO would be refreshing.

Any thoughts on what the new expansion will be, and when? It's been a couple weeks since I came back and I'm enjoying it. Took me several days to get shit configured correctly but the rust has mostly come off even after a 6 year hiatus. The biggest issue I have now is figuring out the content...

This is why I never had any desire to be on the bleeding edge of raiding. You guys got all the glory but holy shit! The crap you guys had to deal with from broken mechanics, bugged content, horrific imbalances...smh. EQ was demanding enough when shit worked as intended. I would not have been...

Just in case you're new here...The majority of dregs that frequent this thread are here solely for Bradlulz. The rest of us (maybe a handful) don't really spend too much time worrying about Brad. We simply have actual hopes and dreams for this game to see the light of day.

Talking about what has caused the MMO space to change so much over the years since the classic era, I'm curious to hear other opinions on what the RMT market has done to influence this space? Was/Is it good for the game's health or bad? Does it add value or longevity or shorten it? Is there a...

So bored that I decided to fire up my old EQ account and log in. Holy. Freaking. Shit! UI, maps, hotbars, AAs, spells, inventory, rewards, the list goes on and on of shit that I feel so lost on. The last expansion that I played was Veil of Alaris so I still feel like it wasn't really that long...

What was the line again? Something like "You have 7 days to fix this shit or else I'm pulling my guild"

Risk in EQ was designed around the concept of being overwhelmed. One never knew what you'd get with pick up groups so it was often wise to proceed with caution and pull/kill singles to a designated camp spot. It was then up to the players (not the game) to decide if they should stay within their...

I see so many posts in these old games talking about getting banned. Wth are you people doing that you feel so compelled to break the rules. Lol

And equally as Shaw-worthy.
