Now that this game has been out a little bit, what's people's opinions on the best familiars? I already read Sean recommending Dinoceros, I don't think I'm that far into the game yet to find him (currently I am in Hamelin). I also saw the recommendation for Griffy which I guess comes with...

Monks are definitely viable, and it's my favorite class. Definitely barbs seem to be have the highest ceiling (which is funny, if you consider how much bitching there was when the game was first released about how horrible they were). I can't comment on barbs since I haven't played one to max...

And yet....people did. Your guarantee is meaningless, you are trying to frame things in a way to support your argument that has nothing to do with the reality of how things were. Did you even play EQ? If nobody enjoyed grinding AAs hours on end, people wouldn't. But people did. A lot of...

Sounds like how EQ used to be, just replace Paragon with AAs. It certainly didn't stop people from playing EQ to death. I don't understand all this D2 nostalgia. I think part of it is that the internet wasn't as large back then, so you didn't have websites with people bitching about the...

I haven't had items disappear permanently, but the auction house seems to be buggy as shit lately. It takes a while to load in the auctions I have going on, and whenever I click to put an item back into my inventory it freezes for a bit before going through. I've also had auctions that posted...

Kreugen, I understand your frustration, when I played my wizard, my first toon, I didn't get shit for drops, almost every item he has on him was purchased from the AH. Since 1.06 though, the law of averages seems to have kicked into effect and gone in my favor, maybe it will for you also. I...

Well, yes and no. MP0 is the most efficient for paragon farming, ie getting experience. You want to kill shit the fastest without slowing down. I did this with my monk using a tempest rush build just like everyone else.....and I honestly wanted to stab my eyes out. It gets soooo boring...

I'm not sure how much gold you have to spend, but I would say the slot that would give you the biggest change would be your amulet, which is one of your worst items now atm. You should find one with cc > 8.5, and depending on how much gold you have, one with cd and/or ias on it. Also get one...

That's what I do basically. The infernal machines are the "end game" currently, although if you lucked out and already got a really well-rolled ring, it's less of an imperative. Basically get 5 stacks in acts 1, 2, 3, kill keywarden, and hope to get not only keys but also some legendary drops...

I had commercials my first few years of operation. The key thing imo is knowing your demographic, who your customer base is going to be, and then targeting the proper channels at the proper time. Just as an example, if your commercial product was say a cleaning product used by housewives, then...

Chuk.....that's kind of the point. The idea was to present situations that no rational person would believe. Trapped months on a boat with a tiger and survive? A floating island of lemurs and man-eating plants that no one has ever discovered? Both Pi and the tiger survives, but the tiger...

Also Lyrical, why did you choose a C-corp? Was it your choice or did someone recommend that to you? When I first started out, my accountant had recommended me to form a S-corp, because we were going to be small market cap, and I honestly didn't understand everything he was explaining to me...

Word, Lyrical may provide you with a different answer, but I'll talk to you about businesses in general. Debt isn't a bad thing when it comes to business. Part of the strategy is knowing how to use it, because you can offset your gross profits by allocating your debt properly, since it can...

Well, the book (of course) lays it out better, but the movie actually wasn't too bad an interpretation of the book, just the spiritual message is lost. In the book, it's pretty clear that the story with the animals, lemur island, etc. is what really happened. The problem is, his rescuers had...

No, capital gains taxes aren't going to double or triple, or no, don't sell even if you were planning on selling anyways?

Imo.... Don't worry so much about what the market is going to do over the next month or so, but look longer term. If you were planning to sell like within the next year anyways, then sell now. Your taxes on capital gain is going to double or triple next year, so if you were planning on...

No, it's the other way around, they don't have guns. Japan has some of the toughest gun control laws on record. I hope you knew that before you posted.

Good luck with everything, and as McCheese said, keep us posted, I remember your posts in the old FoH forum also, I believe I commented on some of them (regarding how much to pay for lease and cams). #1 seems like the best choice also.

we few, we happy few; we band of brothers.?

I'm not a mechanic, but something just doesn't seem right to me.......he kept your truck for 2 months? To weld a 6-inch plate? That sounds to me like something that can be done in a day or two. Am I wrong about this? I would have been calling his ass up a week after I gave him the truck for...

Don't blame just the media, it's human nature. It's no different than people on this very thread posting information as soon as they get it without any verification. Some people just like to share information like a stream of consciousness the moment it occurs to them, others will be more...

I wonder how long until the media tries to pin this on him playing too much Call of Duty. That picture of him looks like something you would find in the urban dictionary under "nerdrage". Also, the other frightening thing is where this took place. Middle America suburbia. I doubt you can...

Ah ok, that makes more sense. Did you sign a written contract with him for the work done, or was it more off-the-cuff and a verbal estimate/agreement type of thing?

I think one other huge thing you need to consider is inflation. None of us have any idea how good or bad inflation will be over the next few decades. The numbers Soriak give as an example only apply to 2010s.....what's it going to be like in 2040? For example, in the 1970s gas was about 40...

Everyone wants to always label employer's and business owners as evil, but my experience has been the same as yours Lyrical....no matter how well you treat your employees, there are always bad apples in the bunch. For every shitty boss, I feel there is like 100 shitty employees. I hope none of...

I'm a little confused.... Have you paid him anything at all? You say you haven't paid for the first fix, was that the $2500 that lasted a year? Or do you mean the first fix after that? And was he even charging you for the subsequent fixes when it was under warranty? The guy you paid $5k...

OMG THE MAYANS WERE RIGHT !!!!!! On a serious note, thanks to those responsible for having the forethought to create this site and preserving as much of the old foh board as possible. I also originally found the site during the Noows days because of EQ and trying to figure out what the top...

Thanks for the answers. First, we are about the same age, I am 44 myself. The reason I asked where you are from was because if you were from say Japan or Europe, then I would say just visit your local Disneyland and don't bother with the one in LA. Maybe it's because I have lived in Los...

I think I average 12k - 15k miles a year. The numbers are a little deceiving because I drove the cars less as they got older and I got a newer car. For example, my M3 that I've had for 15 years.....I probably have only put on 2,000 miles a year for the last 5 years, I drive my other car(s) a...

Sorry, double post.

1) How old are you? How old are your parents? 2) Which country are you coming from? 3) What is your budget like? Sky's the limit, extremely frugal, or in between? 4) How many days total is the trip you are planning? 5) How nice of hotels do you plan to stay at? 6) How much are you willing...

First off, I think it's a no-brainer choosing a brand new Elantra over any car with almost 100,000 miles on it, no matter the make and model. You have to figure the used car is going to have more need for maintenance, and therefore if you are looking at a used MB or BMW, then that's obviously...

Your situation sounds vaguely like the event that happened in San Diego decades ago, in the 90s, but I still remember it and it is eerily similar to your mother's situation. In that case, there was a group calling themselves Heaven's Gate, it had something to do with the end of the world and...

Ruby Sparks (2012)- an author with writer's block pens a story about a girl, who then comes to life. A great story about how sometimes what we wish for isn't always what we really need or want. One of my favorite films for the year, a great portrayal of how people view relationships through...
