Meh, I'm just bad at MMOs and making friends these days. The common theme to your stories are all [doing x with friends] and none of my friends play AA and I don't feel like making new ones. I can solo WoW to a certain degree and plan to do just that come WoD release, but when I want to 'pwn...

I dunno man, if the newb tears are enough to entertain you then I'm not judging. I am just a crybaby because I've wanted Eve gameplay in a conventional "walk-around" RPG for a decade and this is not it. Regardless of if the newb is sad he lost his tradepack that he ran through a war zone (?)...

tldr; for MMO PVP to be worth a shit, someone has to be getting fucked. No one gets fucked in Archeage and no one gives a fuck about trade packs. I think AA is missing a very essential factor before you can properly call it a PVP/Sandbox game. There is practically zero opportunity cost or...

We'll all hate on it until a month before release, then it'll be awesome as fuck. This will last until a month after release, then it will suck again and we'll argue about why.

I recently played a game sober. It was like an entirely different game.

I was quite surprised as well. However, this might be a play on the bitter disenfranchised D3 pvpers. D3 has such a huge portion of the ARPG market share that maybe stealing the 5-10 percent of pissed off pvpers works out on paper for them.

That's thr first raid schedule I have seen that could work for me. What do you need the most? I prefer tanking but I'm assuming you guys have that buttoned up already.

I was confused about Nirgon's last post... Me is Nirgon the same guy as Colgate? Friend No Friend Nirgon is a wizard and he sucks Friend Colgate is the best of the best monk winner Friend and is amazing

Yea, that's what I meant. I didn't mean to rustle the jimmies of any real scientists here. My thought process: 1) Exercise and eating well makes me feel good. 2) Other people that exercise and eat well claim that they feel good, too. 3) Someone that wants to feel good should try eating...

I think some of y'all might underestimate how much gold some people have. There are in-game whales who have long since capped their gold. You aren't their target demographic so the price seems ridiculous, but to someone with literally "as much gold as they can have" which is also "far too much...

Some of you guys must be being purposely obtuse. Obviously, if you have severe clinical depression you should be seeking professional help as opposed to PM'ing Eidal about health/fitness. If you're just down about yourself and can't really figure out why, then that is more what I'm talking...

If anyone here would like to correspond via PM about anything, feel free. I am a huge proponent of exercise -- everyone SHOULD do it, and most of us know that. If you want help getting started with some physical activity, please hit me up. I'd love to help. I did this while active duty and I...

Remember, Roberts waxes eloquent about how this is his passion and every dime is going back into the project... but he has some serious fucking incentive to say that.

No, that was years ago. 6'6 335 with diabetic complications is morbid obesity. Statistically, if you were going to "get healthier" you would have done it before you ate yourself into this risk demographic. If you gave a damn, you'd start logging your food meticulously starting NOW. Your...

Don't be so sure of that! The money hats that Roberts & Co. are wearing right now might start to look a bit shabby once the guys like you stop shelling out thousands a year for virtual ships... selling virtual real-estate is the logical progression.

I have no idea why anyone would desire to be a pro in this game. It seems equally as lofty to just desire to be a top streamer... and top streamers: 1) Work from home. 2) Pants optional. 3) Make substantially more $. 4) Set their own hours. 5) Play solo queue instead of LANs. 6) Fuck...

Wtf. Stop joining shit for which you don't meet the requirements. 100 percent of ilvl complaints are from people too lazy to run their own parties and want other people to put the logistical effort in for no reward. You even admitted to this but that didn't curb your QQ post.

You're being ridiculous; anyone in 560 gear getting out-"anythinged" by someone in 496 gear is a fucking scrub and is also getting carried. Did you really need that explained to you?

I've seen this sentiment echoed before. Seriously -- think back to 2004-2005. If some time-traveler popped in and was like ("Hey bro, late 2014 your professions will be useless. Why bother?") what would you have said? What about all the gold I "wasted" on reforges, and now reforging is...

Rofl. Khane's superiority complex is obvious but well-justifed. Anyone who thinks hiding a major past-time is key to their game is a frail man. Clearly, fat nasty nerds need to lie through their teeth and beautiful Adonis men can do whatever they want. That's how the world works.

You guys are taking shit too seriously, and no, I understand where CICO breaks down. You shouldn't eat ANY pure sugar -- but we live in a world where we make reasonable health sacrifices for enjoyment. An athelete burning 3k calories can eat 500 in sugar spread throughout the day and it's...

First of all, health is a spectrum. Pure cane sugar will never be "as healthy" as some paleo shit. That being said, its not a huge fucking deal if I go lift heavy for 45 minutes and jog for 20 then come back and gutbomb 500 calories of sugar. My muscles NEED that glucose; its not going to be...

My jungle friend (Plat) thinks all jungles will take Poacher's until 20+min then transition later on. What do you guys think?

Shrug, people get too caught up with dumb shit and lose focus. You can eat a healthy variety of proteins/fats with 80 percent of your caloric allotment. For my activity level, height, and weight, my caloric allotment to maintain my body weight is 2700 calories. Follow the 80/20 rule -- 20...

I should have been more clear. I think cutting-edge progression in EQ was difficult. But: how many people in FOH were actively building strategy and handling logistics? How many didn't really do that shit but they showed up on schedule and played their class well. I think the vast majority...

I'm sure he does -- but until he cites a source other than ("I'm Charles Poliquin andI know."), his article quality suffers. I was about to link that shit to friends who are interested in soccer but the entire thing reads like a terrible cracked article. None of us know who this guy is so why...

A whole bunch of communication is non-verbal. If you're a fat and unwashed walking cliche, then you're already fucked. If you're confident, good-looking, with a great smile... it doesn't matter what your hobby is. You communicate non-verbally with your smile and posture that: ("If you come...

Truth. Lol @ people in this thread implying that EQ raiding required skill. Whatever "skill" you speak of is substantially different than the "skill" required to be top tier LoL/CSGO gamer. Being logged in all the fucking time and turning autoattack on/off isn't skill, and thats 90 percent...

In my hypothetical situation, I'm a stay-at-home dad. No subject in highschool is "difficult". We're not imparting some deep wisdom on kids in public education; we're setting up foundations so they can go out and do it themselves without being crippled. Multiplication tables (math)...

Well, this Sensei guy just states things like they're facts and everyone agrees and he doesn't have to cite any sources. Example:"The players have very weak lower backs." That being said, if his advice is "do deadlifts and squats" then I already agreed with him... lol.

I think a key distinction is they piss offsome veterans. The vocal minority is very vocal; you'd be hard pressed to find any decision Blizzard could make which would receive unilateral approval from all factions of its playerbase. And as you correctly pointed out, the mad vets do a lot of...

Dood, this is incredibly fucking weird behavior from a developer to customers. I mean, seriously, he's ingratiating himself to a bunch of fucking neckbeards clocking 60+ hours a week playing a fucking MMO. No well-adjusted and happy man acts this way. Asking other men what they think of his...

Okay, I'm no expert on soccer, but I don't understand how your weight is contributing to people not being able to get around/through you. All I have to do is look at what a pro soccer player looks like (bf<15) to know that your 20+ is not optimal. Ultimately, its your choice... but at least be...

How is the garrison shit any different than all the stupid fucking crafting/harvesting since the game released? I understand progression raiders may need to farm up gold for consumables, but other than that, what is it about the garrison shit that makes it mandatory for PVP/PVE progression...

Surely there is a rate of diminishing returns. it sounded to me like people progressed through SoO at a decent clip without going ballistic on the raiding. What other shit do you reallyhaveto do in WoD? 1) Hit level cap. 2) Silver in PG 3) Run Heroics until your RL is happy with your ilvl...

Yiliumn, 5'10 205 seems pretty damn high unless you're a walking slab of muscle -- are you sure this is optimal for you? Without seeing photos I'm guessing your BF% at 25+. What do you mean "use your weight to your advantage"? The only other goal I can key in on in your post is: "get in...

I was going to argue that, but... yea, you're right. It'd be stupid to deny that there are multiple manifestations of intelligence. When I think of "intelligence", I think of a broad all-purpose intellect that performs above-average in all fields and can self-analyze and self-improve. I'm...

I don't even have a college degree (halfway through CS degree) and I'm absolutely certain I could out-perform any HS teacher if I only had one pupil. This isn't the 50s; you can find pre-built curriculum online for free. Anyone decently intelligent that gives a shit could whip together a full...

My wife is brand new to MMOs and WoW, and was pretty nervous doing anything without me in WoW until she stumbled upon Pet Battles. The Pet Battle quest line has taken her into new zones and just now "gear-checked" her. Now she's leveling up her pets in Duskwood and reading about what pets are...

I love how Brad uses a forum avatar of his EQ character. When I was 22, my roommate (Rob) was 29 and 60lbs overweight. He had multiple photos all over the house of him and his varsity team and would routinely get all fired up looking at them and start shouting about how he's gonna "get the bod...
