Actually that has absolutely zero to do with it. If my BFF was sitting right here with the same ideas I would think it was just as bad. Nice to know I affect you so much though.

I"m not flipping out about it, I am just discussing your "idea". Why are you flipping out about someone not thinking it is awesome? I also fail to see how you "make sure" it takes 100 hours to level. As soon as Joanna writes a guide on how to do it in 70, people will be sure to follow it. You...

It takes the average person 200 hours or so to level up in WoW. Lots of people have 2 or more characters at cap. That"s like 7 of your classes off the bat and likely more if any gear carries over to another class. Besides.. if you have 27 classes or whatever.. let"s say they are inbalanced as...

Being able to switch to any class at will is being every class at once.. you just have to stop in town or whatever to do it. And no, it isn"t the same as alts, because last I checked games limited the number of chars you could have per server. You also have the issue of storage space. How is...

I think the only fair thing to say is that both systems have advantages and drawbacks. Neither one is universally better and the game itself is a big factor in determining which is preferable. In a "freelance" type game such as UO, EVE, SWG.. skill systems can work. In a classic RPG game...

I don"t really care for EVE"s system at all, so I couldn"t give a fair answer to that question.

Yeah, and EVE"s PvE content is extremely deep. A game primarily based on PvP fleet battles and mining asteroids is hardly comparable to a classic fantasy PvE game.

Well to me.. ... is saying exactly that. It"s not hyperbole at all.

It"s just one step removed from letting everyone be everything at once.. and that"s fucking retarded.

The difference being, once you are a Fury you are always a Fury. You can"t change away from that. In WoW a holy priest can decide to go shadow and that is perfectly fine. Sorry, but WoW"s class system is far better than EQ2"s. Games should have fewer classes with individual choice-based...

I"m really not sure how you can classify a mage as 3 classes. The only thing the talents change is the nature of the spells used most often. Fire, ice or arcane. Sure each come with a couple of tools but none of them change the class so drastically that it requires a new title. Warlocks...

Multiple less powerful enemies just gives a huge advantage to classes with AE damage spells. Having enemies that are only affected by holy means that all groups must have a paladin. You are making the min/max situation even worse.

That"s like 30 classes that could just as easily be condensed into 10.. do not want. Having more just for the sake of more is a pretty terrible idea. I"d really love to be the guy responsible for balancing that shit.. or no I wouldn"t. You are going to end up with a handful of those classes...

Yeah, like farm motes of air or browse the auction house, because they sure as shit aren"t coming on raids. You might bring a token one along for a WF group but the rest of their sorry asses got replaced with a priest/paladin.

Played them in several games, and I can"t think of a single one that did a hybrid well. In the end they get pigeonholed into one basic function and if they can"t do that as well as someone else they are like the fat retard on the playground.. last to be picked.

Hybrids have been the bastardized shitclasses of all MMOs to date, and the solution is to make ALL the classes into hybrids? Wow.. that"s going to be a fucking winner there.

And then average gamers will bitch that optimal groups can clear it at a 3:1 ratio, gearing up much quicker and destroying them in PvP. they will want it made easier for suboptimal groups because then they think it will enable them to compete, but what will happen is that even more people gear...

So are you saying that this: Can only happen in the first scenario and not in the second? That makes no sense. It doesn"t matter what class someone is if someone has to log. You are still down one. It also doesn"t matter what classes you are if someone throws a fit over loot and leaves. Those...

When one goes significantly faster than another, then you really don"t have options. Everyone is going to want to do it faster. It"s better to LFG for an hour and clear it in an hour than it is to LFG for 1 second and spend 3 hours clearing. That"s the way many people operate. So he is right...

Grinding on mobs at the entrance of a dungeon != beating it. Overlevelling/gearing a dungeon != beating it either. And I"m not sure why you keep bringing up WoW, but so be it.. but yes, many WoW dungeons require healing and tanking and CC. Without one of those then some of the dungeons are...

Actually it does, because the people who do min/max will dictate the flow of the game. Builds will be planned, guides will be posted. As soon as it is found out that you need X abilities to defeat Y dungeon then only people with X abilities will be defeating dungeon Y. The alternative would be...

What you people really want but are too stupid to realize it is a classless skill-based system. Except some of you apparently need the devs to outline every possible combination and slap a title on it for you.

I never even once used the word race. I don"t recall saying that WoW was the epitome of class balance perfection either. I do think that EQ1 and WoW are much closer than EQ2 or Vanguard though. That doesn"t mean they are perfect, but within the established paradigms that we have in current MMOs...

No one else in the group/raid gives a fuck how you do what you do, all they care about is that you do it. I don"t think VG is a shining example of anything considering the total lack of balance across the spectrum. If one class is 5% better at the role you need filled, that class is going to be...

27 classes isn"t enough? You are fucking crazy. There are 4 roles that need to be performed in an MMO. Tanking, healing, damaging and controlling. Some of these roles can be performed by one class at the same time. When you have too many classes you have overlap and redundancies. The only thing...

That"s what VG was going to try to do long ago with the slow round-based combat. With perception skills that let you know what a mob was going to do a couple of seconds before he did it so you could attempt to counter it. Apparently it"s harder to do while keeping it fun then it sounds. It makes...

It is ridiculus. EQ2 and VG have too many classes, plain and simple. EQ2 especially.. and how many damn buttons does each class have? It"s just out of hand.. more is not always better. Fewer more polished classes that have meaningful abilities > massive overlap with redundant abilities. I can...

Lame, no embedding in the "shaw! YouTube - 1980"s Honeycomb Cereal Commercial

Reding that story, all I could think of was this old commercial. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yDZK6H3d5bk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yDZK6H3d5bk"...

Like throwing a hotdog down a hallway?

You"d be surprised at how quickly circumference increases. A quarter has a circumference of over 3 inches while a nickel is under 2.5 inches. Place the nickel on top of the quarter and look at how little space there is to add up to that much. For further reference a 50 cent piece has a...

But it could. Even something as simple as opening your door may be a "player ability" on their end, it just doesn"t look like it on yours. Not to mention placing items, moving items, deleting items. Storage and etc. Everything can affect something else.

When talking about dicks, vaginas, sex and bowel movements I don"t think it is possible to run out of ideas.

Did no one read the link? Yes size matters. So does density, texture and odor. Color too! Every facet of stool is an indicator of your digestive health!

Sigh, this isn"t the proper thread for such discussions, but no.. Smedley did not make that decision. Sigil did. They squandered the money given, they got a little reprieve from SOE in the form of distribution duties and the bonus of free beta servers and file distribution, and finally they...

WoW is as successful as it because it simply didn"t do what you suggest. Make a few things and make them really cool instead of making a bunch of things and being unable to polish them within the decade.

Normal Bowel Movements

I once went like 8 days without shitting.... When I was younger I was more sporadic.. I wouldn"t go everyday and sometimes went multiple times a day. As I have gotten older I am regular as fucking clockwork. Every morning around 9am I have to go without fail. And no, I don"t take bran or...

I believe this would have qualified as a world record if you had it verified. And yes, there are world sex records maintained and updated.

I believe that measurment includes part of the penis that is internal and not really measurable in a dick-waving contest.
