    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Right. And not only is the CB playerbase rather small, but the amount of people who spend large amounts of their time just gathering resources is just a fraction of that. I also seriously doubt this game will ever have much of an economy anyway.

    Agreed. I don't like that they changed Elvis from a ghost to a cardboard cutout, but it was definitely enjoyable. And Stormy is fucking hot.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The "rape" scenes are so fucking tame anyway. I mean, weassumethat chic in Craster's keep is being raped, but all we see is two people fucking. And she's probably just glad she's not being fucked by her father/grandfather anymore. And we know that crazy dude was about to rape curly-hair, but he...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Well, it's more of a personal taste issue. While I like to take at least a small sample of every mmo that comes down the pipe, I know most aren't going to be what I am personally looking for. From what I've seen/read/played (only level 2, lol) just seems to me like it's another game trying to...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    My venom is non-lethal. And I typically don't bitch about games I don't like. Like, Wildstar. Don't like it. Maybe I'll try to get to level 3 tomorrow.

    The reason they gave was "economy", the excuse they gave for not realizing this sooner was "closed beta is turning out to be longer than we expected." How long did they originally expect it to last? One month? Impossible. Three months? Highly improbable. Five to six months? Much more likely...

    The Tomorrow People

    Eh, the 100 is pretty mediocre. It's watchable, but I feel that TTP had more potential. Decent premise, more interesting and likeable characters, and a lot of places it could go. The 100 seems more limited, is going to drag shit out, have pointless teen angsty romance shit, and the main chic...

    Nope, you can make an unlimited amount of wooden chests and store materials in them. At this point, there's pretty much no way around it. I mean, they could flag materials to only go in your inventory, and have precise control of numbers, but they won't. The real problem is what they had written...

    The Tomorrow People

    Not surprising after the last few episodes. They really dropped what little ball they had. And having such a weak lead actor didn't help. The only thing I'll miss is Cara. I do find it hard to believe they cancelled this and kept The 100 though.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Well said. Not only is this "economy" issue something that should have been foreseen far earlier, it's hardly a real issue at all. The amount of resources that a few thousand testers can accumulate in a few months is insignificant when compared to the amount several hundred thousand can...

    The 100

    I'm so glad I watch this show. Until now I never knew that the cold of winter could kill you, even when you're camped in the middle of aforestwith a way to makefire. Ok, I'll let that slide. Oh, cool, a fallout shelter. They can spend the winter there. Nope. Why not? Cause it's...

    Arrow

    The end scene with Thea was weird. It's very few frames and hard to see anything. But while it looks like the gun moves/kicks a bit during the two shots, there is muzzle flash reflected on her face, but don't see any coming from the gun. I also would be really disappointed if Sara dies and...

    The answer to your question is on this page. Geezus. Not to mention obvious. Nah, man, we're gonna keep your money and wipe your purchased items, yo.

    In the livestream, Omeed specifically states that templates will absolutely never be wiped. I assume that means that templates will never be wiped, but who knows? And yeah, that's the talk on the official forums, a lot less motivation to bother logging in.

    11:40 in the top video in the list. The 1:06 duration one. Was obviously oversight. And that's putting it nicely. I can tell you what happened, other than the obvious financial motive. The team finally got around to doing the math on material value for selling to npc merchants to...

    Let's take a course in Development 101. Here's what the FAQ and dev forum posts said up until today: ?While we will do everything in our power to minimize wipes, it is important to note that Closed Beta is a testing period. Unexpected behaviors of players and technology may occur...

    Yeah. The issue I have with the decision isn't that it's financially motivated, that's a given. My problem is that they are so damn stupid it took them this long to figure it out. Wasted a lot of time mining nearly a mil obsidian, was waiting til after the cave claim wipe to get started. Now, no...

    Typical. Go from "we won't wipe anything but claims unless we absolutely have to" to "wiping everything for open beta" no reason given. I can understand wiping items/progression. But resources? Ha. The only motivation there is money.

    Considering how much he likes to make people fly, seems like a good setup for someone to eventually punt him out the moon door.

    He's just a moron who misinterpreted what the devs have said. He refers to "their" (SOE) ideal and "those ofusin closed beta." As of right now,there is no planned progression wipe.Only claims. The Landmark team is extremely communicative with the community. If you don't see it on the main...

    If you kill him there the Ring of Blades he drops is +1. Also, he's completely optional, so you can wait as long as you want to initiate. I always use a bow on the bomb guy.

    So, women are bitchin about convicted killers/rapists doing what they do, but where was the outcry when Theon got his dick cut off? That's ok, I guess? Hypocrisy at it's finest.

    Drops are weird. Little more than halfway through my first playthrough, and started a second. First guy has cleared Tower of Flame, and gone through Wharf quite a few times and hasn't seen an old knight's shield or sea bow. Second guy went through each like 4-5 times, got 3 shields and 2 bows.

    I just work around it. Since you have two different places where you can bind keys for light attack I bound one to E. So, when I need to swing as fast as possible I just use that, and it's also great for W+E for guard break.

    Witch-ex-machina, as usual. Wonder how he's going to be a threat now, though? There's no more white oak, as far as we know. Unless the mystical writing on that box is connected to some (original) vampire slaying juju.

    I either use a longsword, which has a good low sweep, or an overhand pummel from a greatsword. The main problem is that the damn things are nearly always 2 feet from a fucking cliff. Half the time, I give it one try and then just say fuck it, it's not worth the aggravation.

    The time should be much shorter on the early turns. If it takes you more than 5 seconds to decide what to play on turns 1-4/5, then you should probably go play something that isn't quite so taxing on your mental capacity.

    Terrible dex scaling? You must meancreativedex weaponbalancing, right? Cause ain't nothing wrong with this game, bro. I'm sure the devs only did it so you'd have the pleasure of trying other types of weapons, get ya out of your comfort zone, ya know?
