Xevy, Do you agree that Wildstar highly encouraged people to play with static groups and play for generally longer play sessions? I mean, think back to when you were working through medals for the dungeons. Being able to throw 6+ hours at a tough task helps a ton for learning. Compare this...

Fair enough -- and all the bodybuilders on reddit think the DEXAscan (?) is the best. College campuses usually offer them for $30-$100. gives you something like this:

Draegan stopped hyping this game like a year before it launched. I distinctly remember him saying that classes were boring as shit and he was tired of the collect 100 bear-ass until level cap paradigm. I agree with Rescorla; if I were single able to play hours a day this game might have felt...

BMI isn't BF%. I'd estimate you at 25+% bodyfat but what the fuck do I know. Your BMI is 35.9 which is in the obese category; unless you are muscled beyond belief this is a red flag. You can claim that you're actually not even overweight and its just enormous muscle mass, but that doesn't...

To be fair, interrupting in WoW isn't "put a rogue on it, lol" anymore. Honestly, I wouldn't even know where to begin with a list of things WS didn't do right. It's hard for me to nail down, but I had way more fun on my 5th return to WoW (lasted 3 months) than I ever did in any aspect of...

I think a lot of the fondness people remember for Bards stems from A) a great bard was playing 400x harder than any other bard and enjoyed knowing that sheer mechanical repetition was blocking out anyone from stealing his glory, and B) how easily they could break game mechanics.

Well they initially marketed it to the hardcore PVE crowd that wanted ball-crushingly hard raids or some such. They quickly realized that this demographic doesn't keep the lights on.

Noodle, you've had a pretty open mandate about taking anyone and teaching them, plus I thought you were on a 1 day a week schedule? That's a different guild doctrine, I wouldn't dare blame glue-eating as a reason for being slow for you guys; its obviously a casual "lets try to have fun on...

Lyrical lives in the south, FYI. His idea of overweight is not going to be the same as yours, Itlan. And he'll probably dispute BMI. edit: Just to confirm.Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread - Page 51 5'10 234lbs 33.6 BMI. I'm sure you've improved since then, but I'm guessing 190lbs...

Dandai's point was why try to characterize that guild as something it quite clearly isn't. 6/10H after this long means they have a bunch of glue-eaters holding them back or serious attendance issues.

I think the personality type that likes b99 is "smoke bowls, poopsock with friends, amass dragon horde of pixels" Human threat is 100x more dangerous than any of the EQ AI and that ruins the bowl-smoking chat fun and endangers the pixel epeen. edit: plus, most of R99 PVP is boring as fuck...

It happens often enough man -- sometimes split pushes work out and other times they don't... but the times in which they don't rarely translate directly into a loss. It just means instead of mindlessly pushing toplane, the guy needs to switch strategies. People love hyperbole in this thread...

I was making insane gold with enchanting back in Jan/Feb -- like, 8-15k gold an hour just periodically listing/relisting. It's pretty droll stuff. My friend does it still and says he makes 10k an hour adjusted over the week; tuesday/wednesday being more profitable than the rest of the week...

I only made it to Plat V, and that was at the end of S4 -- that being said, I really doubt the meta has changed enough to remove the impact split pushing has in solo queue. It is somewhat of a wager for both teams; which team can make the least amount of retarded fucking mistakes because now...

Lay down the anti-hopium pipe.

I reached a point where I realized that to progress as a player I'd need to raid on schedule 4 days a week; most of the 2-day guilds were casual guilds pretending to be good and really didn't offer me anything that I couldn't do via PUGs. At least with a PUG, when I watch the same fail 3x in a...

I quit while working on h.brf progression. Guild I was raiding with (hadn't yet server xferred) merged with a different guild and wanted to use their monk tanks, asked me to go DPS. I said "nah" and never really got around to finding a new guild. Realized I was having more fun doing other...

I wonder if there is any overlap between "people that purposely tank their rating" and "people that complain about losing due to trolls/afk/ragers".

Need a side-profile video to see if any of the obvious issues are visible. I suspect your high-rep plan is fatiguing you and your form begins to fall apart, leading to extra lb stress towards the end of your workout.

Zomg great series with a great ending.

Maybe my confusion about the current state of D3 is if T6 is considered high-end play, then what are high-end grifts? Wouldn't it be more accurate to call lvl 1 - T3 low end, T4-T6 mid-tier, and deep grifts high-end? My understanding, last time I talked about this in depth, is that yea, I...

It's also pretty hard to tell the motive behind the complaints/compliments. I would intuitively suspect more shitbag employees get canned and go QQ on glassdoor than solid employees spontaneously deciding to go write a nice review of the company.

I was about to take a stab at D3 again but when I saw how contingent anything high-end is on dual unity I noped right the fuck out. Plus, I think at the time the only strong soloing class was DH doing 1 build. Note: I only play hardcore; this may not be a relevant issue for softcore players...

Historically the population breakdown has always been predominately short-term leagues, followed by ~20 percent in softcore, and ~1 percent in hardcore. Hardcore players typically take a shorter-term view of loot so the idea of a permanent league in which they can build up a dragon's horde over...

I hate Archeage and love Eve but I'd rather zerg in AA than Eve (although I'd probably just prefer a heavy brick on my penis than do either). The big pewpew fights that make the news in Eve rarely actually address the actual mechanics of the fight. Cram hundreds of people into a system and...

tldr; asked a friend who has clocked 1000s of hours in D3. Says D3 has a substantially worse grind for high-end items compared to someone in PoE willing to do a bit of trading (8 hours killing to 1 hour doing trade stuff). Said friend strongly prefers D3 but has quit in the last few months due...

tldr; PoE new expansion, complete rebuilding of netcode. Promise to absolutely remove desync by moving to a deterministic lockstep model along with many new gateways. Lofty claim, perhaps it'll work. I'm sure I'll get my inevitable neg(s) for mentioning PoE in the D3 thread, but for those...

Further clarification of desync from the lead programmer: Negitivefrags comments on Re-write of netcode with A4 to reduce dsync?! And this link helped clue me in a bit: Gaffer on Games | Deterministic Lockstep This looks like a strong step in the right direction towards achieving...

Beta for "The Awakening" beginning on April 20th with two HC/SC leagues lasting 6-8 weeks. 3-4 month leagues coming after that. Netcode revamp. New item class (Jewels) that socket into the passive skill tree. Act IV. Rebalancing to provide a better balanced/smoother progression curve...

Yea, I read about some of that last night. It was this comment from Chris that really started my hypetrain.

It was fun when it launched, and it actually got pretty damn hard. What drove me away from it was that I felt I was playing at a severe handicap by trying to solo, but their net code didn't really seem that great for grouping -- and grouping with random retards was ALSO frustrating. I'm sure...

That's the sedentary TDEE according to calcs. That's why I said revise after a week. People tend to overestimate (drastically) calories burnt from daily activity and lifting. Calculators get you into the ballpark, then you need to track caloric intake and weight delta to figure out the hidden...

Holy shit man, stop benchingcompletelyand go see a doctor. Everything I've read about shoulder injuries/surgeries scare me... and at 42, you aren't going to spring back like a 20 year old lifter who blows out his shoulder. Re: diet; eat 100-200g protein and under 2700 calories (your TDEE)...

Ossoi is going to tell you to eat 1.5lbs of chicken breast daily. And coconut oil.

Gilgamel, what is your solo queue rank currently and where do you think you ought to be?

Convo, Preface: almost anything you do in the gym consistently, extrapolated over years, will produce nice results... that being said. That doesn't look very productive to me. GVT is a training technique that originated with heavy fucking juice to prepare for olympic lifts. People have...

Agree with Elurin. Itlan/Ossoi just making a big deal out of the point he was trying to make. edit: To clarify -- if I asked my grandmother she'd think creatine was unnatural. It's one of the most well-studied substances in the world; we, as a community, have a very good idea of what it...

That's why I pretty much only play Sona for support. I need the poke and the heals to deal with unpredictable teammates. I'd love to branch out my support game but being stuck into a particular playstyle scares me.

I think it's more likely that the man knew exactly what was going on with his clients, but decided it was prudent tonotcall his clients liars to their face and instead act like their bodies are some magic mystery device in which the laws of thermodynamics only work sometimes (and not around...

Expect a resurgence next cycle.
