    I don't want your money. This is what I'm referring to. If your point now is that the book doesn'tpromisethis, well... technically you are correct. They are straight up lying about the results someone else had in order to sell their product. This sucks for kids who buy these mags, try...

    Relax Ossoi, I'm just poking fun at your program because they are liars. If you're happy with the results then that's what matters. You said 6kg but the math you gave says 5kg. 5kg muscle (11lbs) in 6 months is great work, and so is 11kg (24lbs) fat loss. I do not doubt you achieved that --...

    No man -- even a fresh novice isn't gaining 6+ lbs of LBM per month. Whatever. It's pointless to continue discussing this point. What I'd like to clarify is that I am not saying your program won't show results -- pretty much any healthy diet combined with moving heavy things will show...

    LiterallyeverythingI have read implies that your program is bad. Fitness models spend years building mass and cut body fat prior to a shoot -- you aren't going to build any mass in 12 weeks if you're cutting, and if you're not, then you'll build 4-6 pounds under optimal conditions. You see on...

    Ossoi how much do you weigh and what weight are you squatting? That's 150 squats with a 0 (?) or 60 second rest in between sets? I must be missing something.

    I do. I began ICF two months ago (similiar beginner program; just has more accessory lifts). My starting weights were approximately: 135 squat, 135 deadlift, 100 bench, 50 overhead press, 75 row. I can't remember exactly -- the guidance given is to start lighter than you think. I...

    I agree with the others -- you'll definitely lose weight following this program but also a lot of muscle. You didn't specify a timeline -- are you in a hurry? If not, I suggest shooting for .5-.75 lbs a week; take it slow. With your #s, your sedentary TDEE is 2215. If you DIDN'T exercise...

    Every game surprises me by how affordable the sub is via in-game money, then I realize... in Eve, Tera, and now WS: sub takes 4-6 hours of end-game farming. This seems weird to me, then I realize... some gamers make more than $3 an hour and don't give a fuck about $15.

    That was a great game -- I think I read that Aphromoo is CLGs primary shot caller. Mad props. Either way, that call to "push" through mid lane and force a fight in their base was really really good. At the end, everyone in the crowd was cheering and waving their arms except this guy...

    Getting ganked is no big deal -- if someone is outclassed enough that their quest progress is limited then just alt-tab for a bit. My complaint is that an equipment design decision caters solely to people wearing PVP gear fighting people in PVE gear. Obviously I'm still a newb at this game but...

    One thing that makes zero sense to me (playing on a PVP server) is the pre-50 pvp gear has pvp stats on it. This makes no sense. I understand the reason for these stats at level cap: to allow gear progression via pvp similiar to raiders experience via PVE. Why do they exist pre-50? If I'm...

    I don't really give a shit about class balance this early in the launch month. That being said... your seem to be implying that all classes scale equally with gear. I cannot think of a single MMO where this is true.

You can sniff these out by looking at ratio of complaints to build discussions -- the "wahh my class isn't mobile" isn't a real complaint at all and if you look close you can see level 50s saying STFU newbs, get to 50 and l2p.

    Overall, I'm not too concerned about my specific class being relevant at end-game. Time has shown that the meta shifts and unless you're competing for world firsts, a good player will figure out how to make his class perform at the desired role. I'm leaning towards heals this time around...

    I've played a tank in every MMO since WOW classic. I love tanking. That being said, I really hate some specific issues. It seems abnormally difficult to get into a decent guild -- their core members seem to have the tank role on lockdown. I also absolutely hate how tank specs are generally...

    I think the consensus is "no one knows" and "its subject to change". Seriously; warriors used to be the worst tank due to threat issues. One of the recent patches changed that but I have no idea if they're relatively balanced now.

    I think the duration for flagging is fine -- I would be in favor of murdering raising infamy a bit faster. That being said, if you kill someone 5-10 times you'll go to jail next time you die which is a 15-20 minute break in your grindfest so there is SOME incentive not to aside from pirate @...

    I thought it would be a terrible grind but its not that bad -- biggest issue is crowding but you can remedy this by grouping up with people who need different tokens. You can combine all six with a vendor item that costs 5 gold to make an Earthstone then break the Earthstone into 5 of your...

    Nah, you can PVP in Eve without risking anything. In fact, that's probably the huge majority of PVP in Eve. The game gets attention with the periodic ("10 trillion USD destroyed in spaceship battle") headlines... but most people hate grinding ISK and Eve and would rather fly cheap shit ships...

    Well, for this to work properly there won't be much of a distinction between the design-market and the gold market. It'll be up on the AH and trade threads. On a side note -- I heard it mentioned that Auroria mobs have a higher chance to drop loot? I've been doing the Hasla weapon grind...

    I think most of us on this board understand this. The question is: can Trion provide a game worth playing to the people who never want to be attacked? A game MUST provide for and keep the non-pvper happy. You can have a successful MMO with solely non-pvpers. You cannot have a successful MMO...

    I think what confuses me about restricting Gilda Star income to essentially a PVP activity is that MOST gilda star items are designed for the farmville crowd. This makes no sense to me; there is no reason why they can't have their game and participate in a world where the ocean or the north is...

    Eve has an elaborate progression route that a PVE player can pursue without ever having to leave high-sec. My fear is that doing safe-zone trade runs is a meaty portion of a carebear's life in AA; removing it removes a lot of entertainment value for that player. This has nothing to do with...

    Every game must cater towards carebears to be successful. How well did Darkfall: Unholy Wars do catering to the "hardcore lonewolf 9000" crowd? My point is that it doesn't need to be mutually exclusive. CCP struck a decent balance with Eve and I think that their MMO would be in even better...

    The big change people are rabbling about is making Gilda Stars only obtainable through cross-continent trading. This would severely limit progression for people who don't want to PVP. As much as I personally like this change, I think its a horrible route for the game. It'd be akin to CCP...

    Having a clear-cut start time to a siege is mandatory to balance aggressor vs defender. Otherwise, the element of surprise is far too powerful. Even IF you had a strong crew all willing to wake up to a 2 am batphone, how long does it take to start the process and is this dynamic actually fun...

    Absolutely -- your primary source of exp post 30 will be labor. If you spend your labor daily, I think you'd level once every other day just from that. You can also duck into zones while at peace to get an hour or two of pvp-free questing done should you desire. You can do instances just fine...
