    How different is that from the many encounters in WOW that rely heavily in positioning and superior DPS?

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Ut seemed to have a very personal beef with the studio and it's execs. It also seemed he was way off on some points. Rescorla was accurate with his points, and while not as zealous and silly as Ut, did come off as a shill. I'm curious how they are doing sales/sub wise for this game. I think...

    The parents of that baby who was left in the car to die

    The evidence against him is so over the top it's hard not to prejudge this. I'm fairly staunchly anti death penalty, but man I'm with you here. The two words that come to mind when I think of this guy are 'General Population'.

    SWTOR

    See, I find TESO and it's faux actiony combat and Wildstar with it's focus on the telegraph light show far worse than WOW or SWTOR and it's simple and meaningful combat. My issues with MMOs are rotations and rote gameplay. Adding actiony combat adds more rote crap for me to do, and takes away...

    SWTOR

    I feel exactly opposite. I prefer tab target combat and I'm not looking for a twitch MMO. My biggest gripe with Wildstar and ESO was the combat was so vastly inferior for group play compared to WOW for me. SWTOR has a lot of issues, but the combat is much, much more fun than any of the recent...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    It actually pushed me back to P99, since the grouping in it is far worse than EQ circa 2000. The maddening thing is the game really could have been excellent if they hadn't lumped so many bizarre design choices together. The world is beautiful and the lore is great. The game just isn't really...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The problem is who would make it? There's definitely room, but you'd need a AAA MMO as well as a new experience for people to be willing to pay that. The companies that could do this lack the suits with enough cojones to green light it. Too risky. The only exception might be Valve, but MMOs are...

    Health Problems

    I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet. I had an uncle who had a quadruple bypass and a myriad of other health issues about 25 years ago. He told me he was ready to go, just waiting for it. Then he decided to pretty much take control of his own health. He retired early from a killer stressful...

    Isn't NCSoft's stable of MMOs a bit large? I'd be surprised if it were them. Wouldn't it be a hoot if it were Blizzard.

    Health Problems

    I can't recommend Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution enough. The guy knows his stuff. My girl went from Type 2 on insulin to normal blood sugars in a year and lost a bunch of weight just by following a 6/12/12 diet (You can google that). It's a sucky diet, but it's really a good solution for...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Invite Coldfire#1730 if there's room, please. I shelved my Wizard to play my WD due to frustration at squishiness and lack of very good drops. While I was swapping gear yesterday, some guy in RIF had a free Rift, so I jumped in... Mirrorball +2 from the boss. So far the changes look good...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Interesting. I actually just did the reverse. After casually farming with my Wizard since release and being unable to find any really extraordinary items <No Wand or Mirrorball>, I created the WD and I've gotten a lot of good drops. The problem is I cannibalized my mediocre gear on my Wizard...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    When do others wave the white flag as far as farming an individual item? I've gone through over 2000 shards to Kadala trying to get a Mask for my WD. I've gotten a several crappy legendary helms, but no mask.... I did get a Grin Reaper helm... Anyone have any experiences? Google Fu gives...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    If you are 70 as a WD you can probably do T1. I don't have any hard numbers, but generally if you go with the base pet build, you can wing it pretty easily. I found split bounties were great for gearing up my Wizard, but with the increased legendary drop rates and the nerf on normal bounty...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Thanks. I'm just trying to be patient and use the best spec via trial and error based on the gear I have. I've pillage my Wizard, and the WD has a far, far easier time in Rifts. I'd like to go pet build, but my main goal would be to get a T6 build/geared WD. I can do T4 after a week, so I'm...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah, I've been running Rifts and solely buying head pieces trying to nab a Mask of Jeram. No joy. I've finally got a good chunk of free time, so hoping to get some good drops over the next few weeks. Just got a second piece of Jade to drop. Slowly nabbing gear. Still playing around with...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I'm in the same boat as Wanand. I just started on my WD this week, and so far I've gotten an eclectic mix of gear. Not sure what build to work towards. Right now I'm doing a basic pet one, but just got an SOJ and one Jade piece..... Gecko - Community - Diablo III Also, wasn't sure...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I wonder why they called it a 'hero' when DK was just really another class. I think hero I think Jedi in the original SWG. Anyways, with insta 80s, it's not like skipping levels is a big deal anymore They should make a real hero class, but make it really really difficult. No long SWG quest...

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    Same reason we have another Spider Man. Anyways, Quicksilver is a kid in this movie and adult in that one, so there is at least a valid reason even if as someone said the bar is set really high. He definitely stole this movie. His scenes were great. While Quicksilver in the comics is an...

    I used to pick RP in the hopes that I could escape the d00dz and idiot name types. I've come to the realization that nowadays the obnoxious types go there to counteract the super cyber thee and thou troopers. I'd vote for age based servers, but unfortunately many of the asswipes are 40+ guys...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Best analogy I can offer is comparing a comic book to the Game of Thrones books, both the positives and negatives of each. I keep getting the MMO itch and a quarterly free week of WOW and dailies and LFR are enough to remind I'm not interested in it. A month of TESO also really killed my MMO...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I run the build that my gear allows. I have yet to get a Wand or Mirrorball despite thousands of shards. I have dozens of crappy 2Hers though. I keep grouping with WDs who destroy T3/4. It makes me feel my Wizard is a tad underpowered, even with solid DPS.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Outstanding. This has been a really good week dropwise for me. My gear was woeful, though. I think for people trying to finish a set, the long term buff will help. My crusader went from level 60 to able to solo T3, and my wizard DPS went from 300k to 1.1M, even though I'd still like a ton of...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Interestingly enough, the best power leveler I saw was a Monk. You seem like you've been around here a while. Half this board have 60s on P99, so PM someone you know. Veer away from RMT or paying cash for leveling as I think they keep an eye out for that.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    You know, we complain that most modern MMOs are the result of far too many focus groups, committees, and marketing surveys making decisions instead of an actual passionate lead or Vision? with a history of loving the genre. However, this goes one step further in the wrong direction. I'm not sure...

    I've been running T2/T3 mostly... I figured with my Chest I'd be rolling in dough Rondel - Community - Diablo III Really, I don't play nearly as much and the money timesinks in ROS seem hefty to me, it seems. Maybe not after a few more hours.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I've been rotating between my Wizard and Crusader, and I have a ton of mats banked. I'm getting a ton of decent drops, but no really killer weapons, which is a bummer. I need to level another alt or do hardcore. As far as gems, man is there a trick to farming cash? I'm too poor to make a...

    As long as CC is meaningfully and smartly implemented with counters, it's fun for me. It adds another dimension. Most people are ok with CC. They just aren't ok with being completely locked down and ganked with no recourse, a la early Midgard Healers, or WOW Rogues.

    I've gotten two set items in the last day for my crusader. Luck of the draw. I'm enjoying the buffed drop rates. It'd be awesome if Blizz made them permanent. Rondel - Community - Diablo III I need to gear up my Wizard, but having too much fun on my Crusader.

    Anyone else getting Random BSODs from Bnet/D3 app? I've had this PC for a few years and never had one before last week. I'm pretty certain it's either the new Bnet app or D3. The forums were pretty worthless in regards to a fix. Seems there are still a few code kins for the Blizz people to...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    As far as fun, I've had plenty in PVP. The bridge battles in early Planetside were simply amazing, and on par with the best raids I've done in WOW or EQ. The group versus group combat in DAOC were amazingly fun, even with class imbalances. Even early WOW and SWG were amusing. My problem is I...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Yeah, it always bugged me they start patching at 8 AM EST. I really wish they started at midnight PST. Nice changes. My Crusader is 60, time to grind to 70 and split more time with my Wizard. I wonder if they fixed Grom. Hope not.
