    haha! I saw you pop'd back on the chat but you were off by the time I caught up. You started playing again?

    Glad to see you posting & back albeit still wish you would have rolled on NAE. Totally agree and I've said it so many times. If you end up having too many alts, the time commitment becomes stupid and the fun stops. Playing with a roster of characters that you actually enjoy and limiting it...

    They will. When Brelshaza is released you can expect the catch up bonus to expand to 1445. When Elgacia is released you can also expect further enhancements to a least 1475. It's never going to be worth it to push honing beyond the minimum until the catch up mechanic is released. I say this as...

    That's always going to be the case. Grinding and pushing ahead provides you a bit of time where you're ahead of the curve however they absolutely always will provide periodic catch up / boosts to make getting to current tier raids possible with casual effort. A 1415 is still pretty reasonably...

    I think waiting till December for 1490 and Brel is fine. I do think they're making a mistake by not releasing class balance and tripod changes in October though. I'd also like to have seen Artist come out with Summoner (we know the work for Sunmoner is already done and Artist is a pretty big...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes. I'm going to pick up the expansion and play the first month because M+ is infinitely better than what FF offers from an actual gameplay standpoint in spite of the fact that every decision Blizzard has made for almost a decade has been terrible.

    Progression time isn't really impacted by the economy - both are incredibly cheap and, with the events that go on, take a very short period of time and is highly enjoyable. Players coming back or starting off will be able to advance their characters almost daily for the first few weeks. The...

    Both. Smilegate was retarded to not understand that the NA audience is significantly different than their core market in so far as RMT is concerned. The fact that anyone can just create a Steam account to set up a bot account (versus requiring credentials to be confirmed) makes botting...

    This patch is absolutely awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed clown and obviously Scouter is the definition of a fun and cool class. It's a shame that they broke the economy to such a miserable point and that only a few of us are left enjoying it.

    As discussed with many of you, I'll be starting to host hell mode runs Thursday's after our normal raids effective tomorrow. The idea will be to set up a permeant group interested in these types of things, including deathless achievement runs. We'll see what the turn out is tomorrow and talk...

    Was fun having you join us for Valtan - hoping you can make it more often and start subbing in for Vykas as well!

    The Sandman

    I'm a pretty huge fan of the series and thought that this was pretty good. There were several changes made that bothered me more than others though the race changes and added woke stuff were all meh but I did finish it wanting more.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Had to fix this. While Ion is a massive problem even if they fired him nothing would change. Blizzard has been dead for almost as long as WoW was 'good' at this point. It's never going to change.

    This isn't just a victory for me. It's a victory for anyone who has a soul and wants to enjoy life. Perfect release schedule too, going to boost it up before Bralshaza.

    Lost Ark Online

    It's certainly frustrating and I think taking a little break is always a good idea, especially since it's summer. Vykas was really rewarding yesterday in that, our 2 pugs were fun to play with. 3 of us finished our 6 piece set because of it (of course @BoozeCube got fucked by the quality and no...

    This is downright impressive and you should be studied to better understand what occurred to make you hate yourself so much. The amalgam of the collection statues with the Gunlancer alts; my lord dude!

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I gold medal'd all dungeons in Wildstar, which was a thrill to do and learn as a group, requiring pretty flawless play all around. It's okay to want a hard MMO -- there are ways to cater to this without making the game tedious as Wildstar did. Wildstar's content was purposefully aimed at a type...

    @Chimney Arcanist on Thursday with a power pass and ability to boost to 1370. You going to be playing one? The rotation is absolutely insane to get good at, so I suspect you'll enjoy it quite a bit. I'm still torn on whether I'll use it on that or a Destroyer. Next class release is going to be...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Pretty much this. As someone who played with a static, Wildstar remains a highlight for me from an MMO perspective. Engineer remains one of the more 'fun' classes to play from a tanking perspective for me. While Datascape was amazing, I do think they wasted a tremendous amount of resources on it...

    No, first two gates on hard and third gate was on normal (half our raid hadn't done the third gate yet, so it was a learning running that we switched to normal for).

    We finally cleared Vykas as a guild. Was a great week on that front (after a rather sad Valtan experience). Good to get that done in the guild group since a lot of us had to pug. Special shout out to @Cyni for his clutch orb on G2.

    Lost Ark Online

    Had a hell of a work weekend and was only about to go one night for hard (cleared G1 with pugs). Hoping to have more time to commit next week. Vykas is certainly a pretty steep increase in difficulty for a lot of folks though, I truly do enjoy the gates.

    Lost Ark Online

    That is impressive, nice man! We made great progress at Gate 1 but couldn't quite put it all together. Can't even imagine a 100% pug for Gate 2. G'luck with Gate 3 though :P

    They have done ban waves of gold buyers. It's just that their strategy is retarded and AGS is a clown show. Let's not pretend that this is new for MMOs though, how many MQ2 users did you know that outright abused it beyond being able to track? Pretty much this. I don't know anyone who went the...

    Yesterday was quite a good day. Honing worked out and got to 1492 (wanted 1490 for Vykas release, so ahead of schedule): Engravings are still a bit behind where I want them to be but I've gotten the main ones that I wanted for some time: And lastly, finally rocking my 4 piece which is...

    Ignoring the fact that AGS are complete incompetent idiots (which any non-retard would agree with) I don't get the outrageous over the patch day. They announced that the June patch would include Vykas and gave details of the update. Someone explain to me why anyone thought that it would be any...

    No worries, we'll be running legion raids till something better comes out. Just remember to keep giving me my crit buffs, thanks. As it relates to those who have reached out that are quitting: totally understand and no issues. Was a fun run. For those sticking it out: I still don't have any...

    All silver+ starter packs ($99.99 + $49.99 + 24.99) & 12,00 Royal Crystals for additional slots ($100.00) so about $275.00. So from a cost standpoint, I think the 1500 hours I have played was worth it. I'm also sitting on 1.6 million gold (lost about 100k switching to EO last night), which I...

    Pretty certain there are multiple people who want to murder you right now but congrats! Our hard mode Valtan clear tonight was incredibly smooth.

    Yes to Valtan. You've made it to 1415. It's a fun encounter to learn -- even those who seem to be pretty burned out in the guild enjoy it. I think it would be pretty silly to make it there and quit before running it; it's the literal reward for putting up with that last bit of honing grind. If...

    I'll take a stab at answering this even if I fall deftly under the category of 'when I quit MMOs, I don't normally come back'. I'd be interested in hearing @Raes weigh in as well though because prior to launch he stated that he plays a lot and takes breaks fairly often, so his mileage will...

    I agree with the premise of this post however 500 hours is a weird cut-off for me. Most MMO players I know haven't gotten above 50 hours in a new MMO for the last decade or so. This is also a F2P game, so while I don't mind people who hate a lot about Lost Ark (I do too) I would hope that...

    It's Scouter but yes, I feel bad for me too. Vykas is sooner than I thought but thats more raid content this month and everyone enjoys Valtan, so it's more of the good content to do weekly (will also let us complete our sets).
