    Planetside 2

    Are you talking about today's mini patch? I agree, abandoned bases should be taken over faster if no combat is detected for x number of time. : All servers will come down at 6:00 AM PT (3:00 PM CEST) for a brief update to address a few outstanding issues. Downtime is anticipated to be...

    Guild Wars 2

    Same here. I realized pretty much anything was a better use of time than WvWvW. Plus people will always be cheesy in PvP so you started seeing more thieves abuse culling, pretty much being invisible and untargettable 95% of the time thanks to shitty culling. Then in zergs more and more...

    Guild Wars 2

    Did they still not fix it? I played for about 15 minutes earlier this week and thought I saw a ton more of the zerg than normal. The new options menu seems to imply they leave nothing out. I'm probably wrong though :P Planetside 2 can be fun, but you have to find those just right battles...

    Guild Wars 2

    So they finally fix culling, and add a wvwvw exp bar for us OCD people insisting on character advancement, and looks like PRX is not officially in GW2 anymore, what's the inside scoop with that Tuco?

    Defiance

    Same for the TVTorrents rip, someone tried to create a 720x404 mp4 from a 624x352 avi and actually expect it to look like the higher resolution. I think a better version will be out tomorrow if you can wait.

    Do You Cheat in Video Games?

    I rarely cheat in single player games, whats the point? Recent exceptions: TES I hacked the shit out of my maximum carry weight, not a fan of time sinks in single player games. I also spawned a quest item when one of many quests bugged out. Online games, except for ShowEQ back in the day...

    Planetside 2

    I don't even care about people getting free certs. Well marginally. I mean its the same as buying certs with SC I suppose. What made me quit today was them introducing even more shotguns. NOT the way I want this game to go, so I'm out. /why yes, my official last death is from a...

    Wow the BiowareBois are still saturating the forums? I see nothing in that thread except seething hatred for the level 55 'hackers'. HACKERS BAN THEM ALL! So besides this, how is the expansion? lol.

    Planetside 2

    The key to this game, is to just have fun and not worry about 'exp'. It's horrendously slow as a free player (0 bonuses except maybe population). It's gotten a bit easier to earn cert points with alerts and daily medals. But yea, as an engineer it's easy points dropping ammo, repairing...

    Retro and New Video Game Picture/Video Thread

    I played the hell out of Below the Root for the ol' Commodore 64. The attached image is way smaller than the one athttp://www.thegreatness.com/belowthe...lowtheroot.png. I could never beat it though, Disk 2 was corrupt. Ahh the days of floppy disk gaming.

    Planetside 2

    I'm an average player at best, but goddamn I love my engineer. I've gotten pretty obnoxious with the UB grenade launcher (latest patch fixed the main reload problem, rest is still buggy though). But the AV turret...That is just pure fun. In the perfect spot and ignored by all the aircraft...

    Planetside 2

    My god, the AV turret is a fountain of exp. Light and heavy tanks are now worth so much to kill. If I manage to sneak behind a light tank, one shot gets it on fire. You just have to find the sweet spot where vehicles still render but you dont for the snipers everywhere. Just messing...

    Aradune Returns to EQ aka the EQ Nostalgia thread

    I wish we could go back to regular GM events, need to put the 'Role Play' back into MMORPG. Some of my funnest EQ memories (besides the long term friendships made) include stumbling on GM events. I was slumming it up with a friend in West Commonlands at then cap 50 to help them level, and a...

    I hope they revert that and fix whatever the hell they did to 'press [insert] to join your squad mates!' *presses insert* *lands on the opposite end of the map, 3 hexes out of bounds, dies*

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    When the expansion hit, I gave it an honest try. 2 characters to 60, eventually, thanks to bugged storyline quests halting progression slowing me down, and 2+ week GM wait times. I even did a few raids. I gave up on PvP though, there was literally nothing to gain from it, the stats on the...

    Nice, that'll go great with those Proximity Music spammers. Like PIPESOFVICTORY and his 24/7 bagpipes =D

    Planetside 2

    Agreed. This is also the first MMO(well sort of an MMO) in a while that I've looked forward to logging on, rather than 'sigh, time to do my dailies to keep up with raid requirements!'. They've also done a decent job at balancing, and not being too much Pay-2-Win. Though it is way easier to...

    Planetside 2

    I don't know, but sometimes I feel more OP as my engineer. I spent 7$ to unlock the engineer anti-vehicle turret. I love sneaking behind the enemy lines with it. That said, having NC as the only faction to get a camera-guided HA launcher can't possibly work out. Unless it's really really...

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    Funny part is, at release they fucked up, no level requirement for the quest OR the gear you get. So my tradeskill alt, at 20, had several pieces of level 51 gear equipped. I was going to make a rogue to grief the level 10 warfronts, but never got around to it. They eventually fixed it and...

    Hell no, I'm the worlds worst infiltrator. I couldn't head-shot someone 20 feet in front of me even if they were afk. 90% of the time I'm an engineer. I have started messing around with a shotgun light assault. Last night I would keep 2 of 3 points capped (change their color), and with...

    Planetside 2

    Wow, I just increased my enjoyment of the game 20 fold. I almost feel like I'm cheating now. 1) Pimp out a Flash. Yes a flash. I'm not going to say that radar is cheesy as hell, but it's... cheesy as hell. 2) Hide it near a large battle. 3) Win! This probably explains all those times...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Am I retarded or, well yea I am but I cant get the benchmark to run in fullscreen, so it only uses 1 of my 580s =\ But yea, got in the 7000s anyway. For comparison, the awesome looking valley benchmark athttp://unigine.com/products/valley/ pegs both my cards at 100%. It's just another free...

    They're real and they're glorious! Well I'm 99% sure they are real, you can usually tell when a woman is on her back. If they are fake, then all boob jobs should be that good. Not a fan of two plastic bags on a board, usually with googly eye nipples ;\ NSFW obviously, but judge for...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    Fuck, I've been DoingItWrong, always used the final post-tax amount to calculate tips. This thread is actually saving me $$$$, thanks! As for grade school, depending where in America you are, it's where we send our younger kids to learn that Jesus founded our country, and put all the animals...

    Some random tips I've learned since noobing it up as an engineer. Apologies if some of these are obvious: 1) While in lift pads, you can duck to go down quicker, and jump to go up faster. In fact if you hold down jump, the yellow lift throws you really far in the air, you can reach awesome...

    SWTOR

    I didn't mind the old Timbermaw faction. It didn't give you a meaningful in game advantage so wasn't necessary for raiding, you could mindlessly slaughter and loot for faction, and you got a cute trinket that summoned a timbermaw. It was sort of a badge of honor.

    Planetside 2

    I posted this on the official forums: So since the latest hotfix, I can play fine for 20,30 minutes (or less if it's a big battle), then suddenly whenever I shoot someone, or get shot, it takes literally 10 seconds to register. Here's a quick and dirty clip of a perfect example. I got...

    The Secret World

    Well yea I agree with you that the 'min/max' mindset can be wrong for a game like this, we could use some good builds to kill shiat faster. Sometimes the mobs are really close together, and seem to die slow back when I played this.

    SWTOR

    They need to take it to the next level like Rift did, and introduce rep decay! Don't log on that day? Goodbye 1000 rep points! (yes yes I know it's only conquest points, but don't think it won't happen to rep grinds in the future!)
  35. RobXIII

    Rift: Planes of Telara

    Just curious, are people still enjoying this? I quit a few weeks after the expansion. It was fun and all, but I realized not only were the rep grinds silly long, they actually managed to take 'treadmill' to the next level with Conquest point decays.

    Anyone else have issues with the tablet controller? We've got a used and abused iPad (in laws gave it to the kids) that's survived for years, yet 1 week into our Wii-u usage and the tablet is dead. It's got a little scratch in the corner of the screen, just enough for it to think that spot is...

    I still think that cert costs are way off for most weapon unlocks. Playing all weekend I can't unlock one 1000 cert weapon, even with the subscription exp bonus. Considering it's just unlocked for that character and class, it's kinda silly. Upgrading say, mine guard on my sunderer is about...

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    At risk of sounding like a miser, whenever I'm on the fence on whether to eat home or go out, when I remember that it'll likely be 60+ after tip *and* taxes 95% of the time I stay home. Without tipping I'd probably go out a little more often. I remember when I lived in VA, restaurant tax...
