    ^^ Dis. Rift leveling experience is dogshit boring atm though. Haven't seen the SL experts / raids and I'm not even sure I'll make it that far. IAs really need to start putting me in larger groups, ugh! Mechanics have always been reserved for endgame, unfortunately. For all of SWTORs...

    As long as it doesn't affect your nightly sleep it doesn't matter. Sleep is required for muscle repair but the depth of the sleep (and reaching REM sleep) is not even super important. Quite a few great bodybuilders will have split sleep in the evening to maintain nutritional and supplement...

    Just remember that that exercise is only about 25% of muscle mass gain. It's important and it's invigorating getting good sets in, but also don't forget your nutrition, suppliments and sleep. Macros are important in nutrition and having specific bulking and cutting phases is pretty much...

    This. Especially if you're a bigger guy, running will fuck up your squats / DL / Cleans terribly. I don't even like to stretch -too- much beforehand. That tightness in the beginning can really help you get great sets in. Cardio works well before core days, but only because I hate core days...

    Why is it with all these players I still queue into instant adventures that have one other guy who is totally not even doing the quest? It's worse than regular questing, lol.

    Open beta (p4) is open-open, right ? You don't need a pre-order to play in it? I want to test this out and I feel like I could really like it but I want to be sure before dropping money.

    In your cooldown example: macro functionality is already supported in most games. Especially in the WoW example. Barring the autorepeats which are not supported functionality in many modern mmo's. Also, hrm. You could macro a heigan dance then if you needed to :P Interesting. You'd have...

    Yeah but using my WOW example--cooldowns almost always need to be spaced during the encounters (as a tank). You'd usually want just enough cd usage to survive one particular burst to be ready for the next. Most of the rotations have a random element to them such as procs or x% to gain an...

    I have a macro keyboard and have no fucking clue what to do with the macros. I just can't see a big use for these macros in most games. Can you explain how I would use one in a game like WoW to my advantage?

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    PVP's pretty brutal without at least some range. You may wanna try 0 pointing either warlord or tempest. Being able to deathgrip on a 10 second cd works wonders for control and like WoW BGs, once you pull someone into your group cluster they're gonna get zerged down.

    It should still be about the same. Ratios working how ratios working. Also--every calling has a heal or tank spec and those tend to queue fairly quickly. Chloro isn't fun like it used to be though--I've never cared for the mage calling at all.

    It's missing animations. Literally all of them. Most of your abilities have the same or similar animations. Every fucking shot is a blue ball you throw at the enemy or a small lightning strike. You don't even move your goddamn feet when you charge. The sound doesn't sync up when you hit...

    Leveling quest rewards have always sucked in WoW. Not much to say--Path of Exile has items with unique shiz...as lot of ARPGs did. In mmo's you get to choose between pvp balance or cray items. It sucks but pvp is killing pve in a lot of games :|

    Wow MMO with minecraft tools. Excavate a large area underneath, create tunnels, shafts. After a certain size inhabitants take up the area--you've made a player made dungeon while incorporating mining. Tadaaa :P edit: Just don't let it go the way of Vanguard sea-faring combat. Heh.

    Sure! Each one of their videos they're barely damaging the enemies or are completely rolling the enemies. I've seen no group or pvp gameplay showcased. Perhaps they're just not showing us the videos of these things but I'd speculate that it's because they're not sure how they want characters...

    Agreed. Taking a 10 minute fight and turning it into two 5 minute fights (perhaps increasing the healing intensity to keep things tense) would be better for most. It's the wiping at 10% 3 times in a row with 5 more bosses to go that really gets on people.

    Well, people will gravitate towards the easy gear. TBC WoW showed this to a pretty gruesome extent. 20-30 AFKavers every AV. People taking their 10 beatings a week for arena points. The huge uproar when required arena ratings came in for the top tier gear...

    Because you're expecting way, way too fucking much out of the average player.

To have two sets of abilities with the same name having different...

    Chaos are cheap. It takes fucking crazy amounts of fusing to reliably get a 6L chest / 2h. You could use 20-25 chaos and get top tier damage modifications / IAS modifications on a 2h. Doing that with fusings is foolhardy. It's far easier to get the sockets and then get the stats. Now that...
