April/May saw a enormous increase in the amount of cryptocurrencies. The huge majority of them were simple copies of BTC with a few variables changed, and all of them based on scrypt instead of SHA-256. Many miners rushed to get in on the initial blocks and mine up thousands of these new...

Whichever GPU is mining is pretty much off-limits for anything else. If you want to web-browse or do other things, you should be fine if you lower the intensity. Even better, you could just use the integrated graphics on your mobo. If you don't have that or don't want to deal with cable...

One 7950 now mines about $28/day in LTC. Semi-related, if anyone has LTC/BTC they want to sell and don't have exchange accounts, hit me up and I can probably help you liquidate.

If you're familiar with scrypt mining already then that's fine. If you're planning for the long game regardless, then why do you have to "figure out when to sell"? I'm actually a little surprised right now that with the meteoric rise in LTC price that the difficulty isn't rising appropriately...

Heads up on scrypt mining -- its not easy like sha256 mining. Expect to spend hours and hours tinkering with clock speeds and voltage settings. 4x 7950 at full load will put out a considerable amount of heat so you're definitely looking at an open air rig. It also beats the shit out of your...

2x 7950s mining LTC = .85 LTC/day. LTC are trading at $8.35. Remember; when you calculate "is it worth it", factor in the chance of a staggering price increase and the resulting depression that you stopped mining because your short-term calculations didn't consider a rising price. It is a...

Even more comical to me was his statement that his preferred rule set involves three teams, one of which has no shamans. He thinks that having access to "more fun" races will counterbalance the lack of shamans. I'm a new-comer to R99 and was never well-versed in EQ raiding OR pvp... that...

Blizz is 100 percent for hard-resetting at every expansion. That being said, you don't need it due to the catch-up mechanics currently in place. I went 1-90 as a new monk with no friends in about 3 weeks just questing/dungeoning, then was raid-ready in the same day with the Timeless Isle. The...

Haha, when we saw you my friend says: "quick! quick! con him! Can you attack him? You'll win if you can, he can't beat you with my buffs and even if he could he can't catch you!" "No, I can't." "Oh."

Just started, 15 warrior. Name: Eida

Solo: Tortos (!) - YouTube Mione solo'ing Tortos (ToT boss; ToT is the 2nd most recent raid zone of MoP). Probably a safe bet to say that new guilds occasionally wipe on this boss.

I, too, react violently when my friends launch into a bad-beat story about their most recent LoL game. I can't stand it. I don't have the slightest interest in hitting up my buddies telling them about how I "totally would have won a game but didn't because...". I just absolutely cannot relate...

This is key. You are defining success as min-maxing then saying you don't want to min-max. Bro, many many other players are defining success differently. Should one desire to raid bleeding edge content, then yea, min-maxing is a given -- but it has ALWAYS been this way. Everything you're...

If you're trying to farm up Timeless equipment, use oQueue and join a Shaohan rep-farming group. Can mindlessly slaughter elites for rep, coins, and rather frequent gear drops. Most people farming rep don't need the gear, either, so if you're polite and ask up front most guys will have no...

Did wing 4 LFR last night. I thought Siegecrafter was spot on, downed him on 3 stacks but I think the primary issue was people learning (myself included). Paragons seem too easy; or maybe I just don't like seeing a ton of mechanics and knowing we won ignoring every single one of them. Didn't...

I'm not an LFR vet but coming from a tank perspective I don't understand why everyone hates on LFR. As someone who is hesitant to commit to a guild raiding schedule, LFR/Flex is an amazing system that gives me a true sense of progression. LFR to: see the fight, match up muscle memory with what...

FAQ: I'm a fresh 90, how do I gear up? PATCH 5.4 edition : wow

Just did SoO flex wing 1 with openraid.us. Went super smooth and was a much better experience than LFR. Two thumbs up for flex. I think LFR has a place in the raiding scheme simply because its a pressure-free environment to actually play through the encounter and better internalize the...

I have a 10 man mumble server that I can easily expand to 20+ if needed.

I see transmog oQueue groups going EVERY night. If people are dead-set on staying with their low-pop server they can STILL do a ton of older content for transmog drops.

Honestly, you can use oQueue to get anything done that you want to do cross-realm. The only downsides I can see to being on a low-pop server is limited AH activity. Eidal#1153 -- alliance monk tank 500iLvl

I routinely see cross realm groups running older content using oQueue.

Hit 90 on Saturday morning. Tanked all wings of ToT LFR; only died one time to a slug... got mocked by DPS parsing 30k. Slug's have insta-kill mechanic.... noted. My sole research into each boss was to whisper the other tank, tell him I'm new, and ask what to do. LFR is easy; ignore all...

To what are you referring?

Is anyone here in an active raiding guild or active in the raid scene at all? Just wondering if anyone would be able to get me into a flex raid once I hit 90 and have bare minimum gear. I'll hit 90 soon and start working on Timeless Isle and the cloak quest... but I figured someone might have...

I'm not 90 yet but I have this bookmarked. FAQ: I'm a fresh 90, how do I gear up? PATCH 5.4 edition : wow

Playing horde Darkspear... although these days server choice doesn't matter as much as faction choice. I can group cross-realm with all my horde friends.

Just did 48-68 in a day... my lord, questing and a run or two through appropriate dungeons = very fast. Really enjoying Monk, too.

Azubu.tv has better HD than twitch, fyi. edit: Anyone choke on their drink watching that flash + crescendo fail?

Thoughts on Flex raids? Official forums seem surprisingly pleased with them. Flex + oQueue addon = awesome ?

Yep, playing WoW for the first time in years and it feels really good compared to the last few MMOs I've touched.

Friends and I discussed this a lot regarding Path of Exile.The key issue is that an AH forces the dev team to balance content for players utilizing the AH. Thus, no one feels particularly powerful unless they aren't absolutely equipping themselves off the AH. Found items = gold, nothing more...

For comparison: Eve PLEX, $20 to purchase, sells for 550m ISK. Eve RMT ISK, $21 to purchase 1 bil ISK. Almost double but a few years back I purchased RMT ISK and ended up having that ISK taken from me a month later. I suspect with some judicious use of in-game currency deletion when RMT...

Everyone saying "supports are fine the way they are" needs to start saying "I recognize that I am part of a very small minority who enjoys playing support". Supports are NOT fine the way they are when you look at the community as a whole; people hate playing it.

Vimeseh is platinum, Arbitrary is Gold or Silver correct? I already knew that LS quints were amazing but it cracks me up how much people are willing to argue with higher rated players. Platinum is something like top 0.5 percent of the ladder. Respect, V.

To be fair, you can buy rune pages for IP and more people probably should instead of buying boatloads of champs that they'll never play enough to develop. I have a bronze friend that has 20+ rune pages and I see gold+ players using two.

That blog about SC2 Bronze is relevent to me but I suppose if you didn't read it through maybe some key points wouldn't have jumped out. Note: this is specifically in reference to my 5-7 bronze friends that all wholeheartedly believe they are better than they are. A) When "something bad"...

"Bronze: Delving into Insanity" http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?id=308882 Fantastic read; I read every page. SC2 Platinum player de-levels to Bronze and records his observations. Has many parallels with LoL Bronze players and some seemingly accurate speculation on what is...

Agree to everything Vimeseh says. Gold is the top 6 percent of the ladder. The sense of entitlement amongst bronze players is ridiculous and indicative of the post-WoW generation. What other game can you play casually and end up in the top 6 percent of the player base? Why do MOBAs instill...

Bought a Sager for around $1200 two years ago. Took it to Afghanistan (not optimal conditions for a gaming laptop). Never had any issues. It is still my main gaming rig still and it plays what I want it to play. I've recommended Sager to two other buddies and both of them are very pleased.
