    The us east server, TR. I don't mind rolling alts though if people would rather play nc/vs.

    Planetside 2

    I'm a huge PS2 newb -- I got to BR16 a few years ago. Just re-downloaded it, messing around a bit. I'd be down to meet up and play with you vets, assuming your playstyle is conducive to leading a newbie around. Just tell me what to do.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    I don't know anyone that would agree with that. I would wonder what prompted a woman to be such an outlier. But I'd think the same about a man. I'm assuming 100+ partners at age 30 is a substantial outlier for both genders.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Dumar, my perception, along with many others on this board, is that Antarius' trip around the pussy-carousel 100+ times has absolutely altered him negatively. Fucking trannies off Craigslist in Walmart parking lots is not a distinguishing trait of a happy, well-adjusted man. But yea, I get...

    I really enjoyed Rift on launch -- the difficulty of the 5 man content was fantastic. Have great memories of wiping repeatedly working on T2 stuff with a group of friends. Said group of friends was built entirely off my friends list; the content was hard enough that pugging was right out. I...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Like Khalid said: anyone else find it ironic that Antarius' self-assessment is that his 100+ sexual partners hasn't impacted him negatively?

    Heroes of the Storm

    How does the system differentiate between these two rank 45 people: A) Veteran of MOBAs from Dota 1 onward, played 300 QM games, never rages and plays hard. B) HoTS is his first MOBA and he played just enough QM games to get into HL. Hint: it can't. I do agree that the MM has some...

    You could make Snipers useless as fuck in every metric but you'll still have half your fucking team playing Sniper.

    Path of Exile

    That's how I felt initially when I started playing PoE. There was no time for experimentation because I felt so strongly that any 'wasted time' was to be avoided. So I ended up with an EA marauder in 2012, some EK build in 2013, and 2014 I played snoring bond. All copied and vetted builds...

    Guild Wars 2

    It's misleading to say this. Mostly pointless tangent but... Assuming that GW2 follows the trends established by other F2P games that released more complete metrics: a very select few of GW2 players spend $50+/mo and most spend nothing, average equating to $6. I'm not familiar with GW2...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yup. For context; BrutalTM gave up long ago. I suspect that, to him, adults trying to maintain their health and attractiveness seems like a complete waste of time.

    Path of Exile

    Zaphid, that might be the most expedient way to play... but specifically for the reasons you just outlined, it does have its drawbacks. That's how I did it for a while; just google some vetted build and follow it to the letter. Got strong results. On the other hand, I've been having fun in...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    If you're in good shape and active then yea, sucks to be in that position. It helps that my wife and I have overlapping goals/values regarding fitness/aesthetics. I can only hope that, should she ever start giving up, that our relationship will have evolved enough that I'll be comfortable in...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Before we can issue proper judgement, we need JVIRUS' BMI and a rough idea of how much effort he puts into his wardrobe and personal grooming. Two of my close friends are 30, haven't hit a gym in their life... the 165lb 6'1 malnourished look works well enough when 2/3rds of the population is...

    Guild Wars 2

    Are you claiming that the average GW2 player spends $15+/mo on gems? Can you substantiate that with anything? My understanding is these models are funded primarily by the top spending 5 percent, and the huge majority spend nothing. I hear: "Damnit, people keep trying to sell me shit I...

    Guild Wars 2

    I've never seen a demographic gripe about $ more than MMO players. I impulse bought burrito materials last night which cost me $20, the difference people are griping about. I suspect, were I a GW2 player, I'd get more enjoyment out of their expansion than I did out of my burritos.

    Eldevin - Awesome Browser MMORPG

    If you play any further, I'd be interested in hearing why it reminds you of AC. AC is a friend's favorite game of all time. He'd kill for a reboot.

    Edit:Note -- I play PoE pretty casually... I never really end up doing "end-game" content that long. I play the HC challenge league for 4-6 weeks then lose interest and come back next cycle. I've been following PoE since early 2012, Byr -- time is a flat circle. I've heard that sameexact...

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

    Disagree completely -- lore is obviously more important. Why else do you think Brad McQuaid, one of the few remaining Gaming Gods, has dedicated such an extreme amount of manpower towards lore? Combat engine and netcode are trivial things that will fill themselves in later on in development.

    Anyone got any extra beta keys? Got friends who are tempted to try again but I don't want them to play 1.3; 2.0 is so much better.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Chicken breast in slow-cooker is meh. Slow cooking favors fattier cuts of meat. Use bone-in chicken thighs; buy skinless or remove skin prior to cooking. I can load up 8 in mine. Poor a can of root beer (diet if you want) in, or get creative with other spice blends. A can of chicken broth...

    Heroes of the Storm

    LoL's answer is 45+min queue times for guys in your bracket, but maybe some other work could be done to innovate. Think of some type of flattening to the enormous MMR boost you give to a team: if the game determines the R1+++ composes X percentage of total team MMR, then reduce R1+++s MMR in...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Well, Bliz released stats showing that its hugely hugely unlikely that a solo ever directly fights a 5 stack. Like 95+ of games are solo v solo. That being said, it definitely impacts the integrity of the ladder: 4 fantastic players could easily carry a scrub in their 5 stack... so HL may mean...

    They made it pretty clear in the last episode. The teacher tells the kids that the monsters are humans after 2500 years of genetic drift or some shit (lol but whatever).

    A poster from that thread: Any solution must ensure that all guilds have an unmolested shot at raid targets. Unless you come up with a way for a casual raid guild to have a 100% unmolested shot at a target, all you've done is create a way for the hackers, sockers, and RMTers to get more...

    It blows my mind that these people voted for "max nostalgia" 6 months in classic shit knowing full-well that mages slaughter everything, nothing is scary, no CRs... etc etc. How is this even remotely nostalgic? What percentage of people will actually play 6 months per expansion? That's absurd.

    Agree 100 percent -- that's why the games that people throw away due to trolling is very likely the single largest factor in why they aren't raising rank.
