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

    It really is not an investment. It also is hard to justify as a preorder in the case of games that are 3+ years out. I consider it a donation. The part that bothers me is that guys like Garriot, Jacobs, and perhaps even Mcquaid by and large are wealthy, or at least far, far richer than the...

    Underrated Superhero movies

    When I think super hero movies, I think Men in Spandex. This probably isn't good but all the best DC/Marvel movies to me were not about super powered people in neon colors. Give me Blade and Dredd over Superman and Spiderman. Just my personal preference. Are those really super hero movies or...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    I don't think that's right. Guiness thought it was 'fairy tale' rubbish. However, he knew a gem when he saw it, which is why he negotiated 2% of the gross off the top. He was a Shakespearean old fogey actor in a Sci Fi new age film. His comments make perfect sense, but pretty much everyone...

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

    Make a thread for the 50 different topics and things being addressed here? We had a subforum for FFXIV which never had the level of interest as this. Plus there is actual developer feedback, so it seems appropriate, and might add a lot more to rerolled then just trying to keep up with the 900...

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

    Draegan, we might need a Pantheon sub forum.This thread moves way too fast and there's too much going on for just it alone. Maybe let a Pantheon person mod it?

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    They could call it Star Wars: The Next Generation! Watching these movies at the theater was pure magic back then. Go watch any other Sci Fi before 1977 and do a comparison. The movies still are awesome 35 years later and look great on TV. The acting was decent too. I don't get why you call...

    Except by setting artificial limits you create a false sense of urgency so people want to buy your product quickly! C'mon, it's marketing 101, man.

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

    While I don't have much faith in this, if there's something Brad is very good at, it's selling things. Kickstarter is not a sprint, it's a marathon of selling a person, game, and idea. I have no doubt Brad can sell himself, I just don't know what game he's selling. Nobody expects this to make...

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

    Warhammer was actually a decent game, and many of us think it was ruined in a similar manner to SWG. Anyways, do you really want to compare Warhammer which was underfunded and backdoored to Vanguard, an open MS money pit? In regards to kickstarter and these two projects: Jacobs is a guy I'd...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I think if they can get about 100 per realm, that'd be a good start. More than likely they'll be 50 in Alb, 75 in Mid, and about 5 in Hibs.

    2013 NFL Season

    The NFL announced an investigator showed up and didn't hear it being pumped in, so there you go. Everyone knows that the NFL is on top of things like this. I'd expect more stadiums to be built to figure out how to 'amplify' fans noise 100 fold <without speakers of course..> so pretty soon...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    It means you don't watch Dr. Who. I really prefer pay for alpha to kickstarter, at least I get some actual gaming out of my coin. Both models suck, though.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    On the flip side, I feel SWTOR is one of the best single player games I've ever played. I really enjoyed the stories and I liked the interface and game. I personally do not like anything about TESO. Spronk, name is all it takes. Look how many copies D3 sold and it's an absolute shit game...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Scout is a great class, but tougher to level so I'd make that your second. Friar can solo and group very well. They are nice in groups too. Ditto with Theurgist. Scout will probably be my second character after my Sorcerer. There are no wrong classes, unless you are trying to make an optimal...

    2013 NFL Season

    It's probably the noise greater than an earthquake they pump into their stadium preventing other teams from actually communicating with their players. That does tend to make a game dependent on play calling and coaching a bit tougher. Until they get caught, it's all good stuff. See the...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    In the original movies there was none of this rule of 2 stuff. Jedi and Sith were all about the sorcery. The prequels made this into a caricature of Lawful Good vs Chaotic Evil, which makes absolutely no sense given the Sith from the original movies were more about order, structure, and power...

    We have no idea how many people will play, or last. Clerics, Mercs, and Minstrels all stack nicely. Delicate, if you are going to play with us, would you mind updating the first post of this thread with people, playtimes, preferred classes, and interest level. If not we can make a new thread...

    Put an invisible player on the screen and watch Mid Ubergroup head right for it. Ban. Rinse. Repeat. Hatorade, sounds like a plan. I just hope we can get a good small group to play for a few months.

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    The rule of 2 was in the movies directly from Yoda's lips. I doubt the awful Darth Bane novel is considered that way, though. The funny thing is as much as I disliked the SWTOR movies, that setting and storyline is ripe for some awesome movies, and the Bioware trailers were actually better...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    I really always hated the rule of 2. It really doesn't add up for a group that's all about acquiring power and freedom from 'rules'. Add my vote to Hugo Weaving as Thrawn.. it won't happen, but that'd be great. Just please no Ewoks or Jar Jars...

    2013 NFL Season

    I thought I was the only one who despised the Patriots and avoid watching them. Just something about them really rubs me the wrong way. Their running game is successful because they've always had a very good OL and have always been well coached. Well, that and the video tapes ahead of time of...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Great links. The other caveat is by level 40 even those with no DAOC experience will have a good grasp of their character and at least an idea of what they want spec wise at 50. I'd still stick with my original recommendation for a character build. I dug through their forums and I couldn't...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    As a light tank I'd guess most would want to focus on damage dealing, especially for leveling. Parry is far more useful as you won't have a shield like an Armsman use and swap to a 2her, but that's different. Light tanks can guard but thats really situational. The cookie cutter is 50 weap/50 DW...

    Merc is pretty easy. You pump 50 into weapon, 50 into Dual Wield, and the rest into parry. There will be respecs in this game, and it's not super complex.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    Nope, I play as Ledd on P99, and Geck on red99. I'm amused someone uses Mike Wazowski. That's a character from Monsters, Inc. My Avatar I've used for the last ~10 years here and on FOH is Randall also from Monsters, Inc. I'm actually tempted to make a Cabalist just since I figure they'll be...

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    You can't really super gimp your classes while leveling, and respecs are available. If memory serves they cost a certain amount of gold and get more expensive at max level, but I think you get a free one at 40. I have my Sorcerer planned out, but probably won't completely focus on Mind while...

    Ok, Lich seems far easier than Omniknight. I guess patience is a huge virtue and I haven't even gotten out of bot games... How does one join a community channel? More specifically, where's the FOH/rerolled one?

    DOTA 2

    Thanks for the info. I guess I was playing this, and probably LOL, completely wrong as I was actually killing Creeps and primarily playing melee and trying to fight nonstop initially. So, for the first X minutes I should be farming and focusing on 'last hits' and being cautious? I was being...

    I'd prefer to do Albion. They have more interesting classes and better PVE. I'd like to play a Sorcerer. I'm assuming a majority of people will play Midgard, but if that's not the case I'd be interested in playing a Savage there.

    DAOC: Origins - New Server

    I'm really not sure I'm into playing this. Base exp and PVE in Vanilla SI are really a huge disappointment. Also, the best part of DAOC is group vs group combat. Back in 2001 I played with the same people I played EQ with and we rocked. Most of them don't even game anymore, or are even more...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    A few months ago Denaurwhateverthefuck flamed me on P99 for mentioning the raid scene was horrible and might require admin intervention, saying things were great, so who knows when they'll get a clue. Not sure why they don't make the upcoming teams guy into Blue2, but it's their playground.

    Dark Souls 2

    I enjoyed finishing this game <twice>, but really don't understand a desire to play through it again, especially once you've mastered the mechanics. Plus, the multiplayer is just terrible. I'm kind of on the fence with DS2. I felt a sense of achievement completing it, but not sure if I want...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I think I have rose colored glasses because I enjoyed 40 mans in Vanilla far more than 25H, mainly due to the Timmy problem and turnover before I became a WOW statistic. I just like the design. I actually wish it went 10 -> 20 -> 40 -> 75 raids ramping up difficulty and rewards. I could be...
