    EQ Live - Swarm Balancing (Headshot, Decapitate etc)

    Only 2 are actually. I'll agree it's a lame concept they never continued to build on, but I still find spell awareness awesome and I suppose the extra attack/hp/regen don't hurt but probably are not worth it.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Wow, I love you artistic/creator types. I find all of this stuff so fucking cool. I didn't get alpha pack because I absolutely hate building myself, not to mention I suck at it. But if the combat in this game is any fun at all it's going to be a blast not only playing through whatever SoE...

    EQ Live - Swarm Balancing (Headshot, Decapitate etc)

    Yea, but there are so many better ways to handle it. Just inflate the AA xp curve again. Make the first 2.5k come as fast as the first 100. Then give AA rewards for actually doing content instead of just PLing or whatever. Add something basic like a 3aa award to all solo tasks from TSS up and a...

    EQ Live - Swarm Balancing (Headshot, Decapitate etc)

    lol, I just read the official forums on it. Assuming they are being honest, apparently the problem with swarming isn't XP but massive spikes in CPU usage that causes problems for all zones hosted on the server. They put up a little graph of how a few swarmers make the thing peak out at like 90%...

    EQ Live - Swarm Balancing (Headshot, Decapitate etc)

    Fucking awesome. I mentioned headshot bullshit in the EQ thread and some douchenozzle said "I dont know what I'm talking about"....yep, sure thing there. That panned out. It's cheap. Now is it cheap to the point I am butt hurt about it? No, obviously not it's a 15 year old game and most shit is...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Yea, first off it sounds like you are on FV, very unusual server. Most people just make a toon there to buy uber gear and testcopy. No doubt getting back into EQ is hard, but on normal servers(at least Xegony) there are always groups 70-75+ and people PLing, doing taskadds, etc. Its certainly...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Kinda funny, Shards of Dayla or whatever it is does that right now. Things work differently depending on weather and time of daySurprised no game has done that since.

    The Netflix Thread

    "The Tower" was pretty good in my opinion. Not at all what I expected. I watch an asinine amount of netflix, here are some others I enjoyed: I like to fall asleep to the "Moving Art" shows. Nature shows with relaxing music. There is one about flowers, oceans, forests, etc. Good visuals too...

    What do you do?

    Network and form a workout habit. I spend my time living out a bag often too. I hit the hotel gym at least once a day. It's a good way to kill an hour or so and then I try to network and make friends in the different cities I travel to. No, I don't mean sluts and hookers, just business...

    I'm neither a rabid fanboy or completely sold on his ideas but I did pldge the 40$ or whatever, the one that includes beta invite. Mostly it's just because I have the ability to waste(in this fashion) and I do like MMO's so why not? I'll agree with many here the kickstarter is kind of shitty...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    This has been covered a shit load but it all depends on your goals. If you just want to play around, box/merc/solo then take the free test server with all expansions, all vet aa, and double xp. There is virtually no bazaar and unless you are in a guild or know people little grouping until you...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I have not actually parsed it but it should be any level after they get reasonable skills like duel wield/double attack etc. So I'd say....maybe 40+? Rogues eventually start using poisons and stuff too. I don't think there are parses that test your exact situation, but if you google there are...

    Your Ideal EQ Server

    Isn't that shards? I have not logged on that server in YEARS but I seem to remember they actually redid spells, zones, mobs, aa's...the whole deal. new quests and all that. I only played for a bit but it was essentially a redone eq

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Grouping does still exist but mostly not until 80ish+ since you can play 1 toon and a merc to hit 70 in NO time at all, especially with defiant gear. While boxing is a problem on all servers when it comes to groups and socialization, test is particularly bad since the...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    ehh, opinion honestly. The fact that rangers can headshot rape like they do is already lame since no other class can do it in the same way. Beserkers get decap or whatever, think rogues get one but they are limited in what they work on if I remember correctly. Rangers were just being whiny...

    4Chan User Stephen Streams Suicide Attempt - Sets Himself on Fire

    Couldn't you argue it is second degree murder instead? I mean, he did light a fire in a place that is connected to other domiciles and knowingly put them at risk. Isn't manslaughter like a true accident that results in the death of someone, but you are only at fault due to negligence or...

    EQ Never

    I actually think a DotA/LoL style MMO would be badass. Have your character, log on "join queue" for raid or dungeon(with friends or pubs), play a few, log off. No world, no questing, just play fun stuff. It wouldn't be something you need to log in every day since keeping up with content would be...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    With a merc it's mostly knowing WHERE to go, certain spots can be sometimes double "normal" style xping, even without PL or assistance. That and probably using lots of DS potions

    ^ This totally. It had good and bad qualities like any MMO but the "lore" and relationship to LotR made this game pretty enjoyable, I even payed for a sub for awhile. Funny part is I never read any of the books, thought the movies were above average but not fantastic, never saw the new hobbit...

    It's not so much cheating on your taxes as it is "rigging the game", which is unfair because not all can do it. Yes, selling your WoW account is cheating, personally I don't care, good luck to you and hope you don't get caught. Same with companies, you want to cheat all the power to you, good...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    ISBoxer has tools specifically for boxing, EQW doesn't really...unless you count fast switching and screen tiling/CPU limits and crap. ISBoxer will actually allow you to send keystrokes to multiple sessions. So hitting 1 could cast tank stun, cleric heal, wizard nuke, mage pet attack and...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The numbers are greater but the overall percentages are roughly the same. I wish I still had the link but both EQ and WoW put out stats at one point of how many accounts had zoned into various raids/had items, etc. It was really fucking low.

    I have NO illusion that carrying makes me immune, safe, protected or isolated from reality, BUT, environment depending I will carry and if it helps I'll be glad. I hope I never have to tell anyone about a use-case ever. And in those situations, no one is fucking affected so fuck it.
