    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Pop on my server (Cactuar) seems pretty stable at all levels. Not all zones are utilized evenly of course, but generally there are people around.

    This is exactly what I thought. Hey let's reinforce the fence against all these zombies trying to break through. Then once that doesn't work, break out machine guns and mow them all down. Wait, why didn't we just kill them in the first place??? Overall, liking this season a lot. I groaned...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    Like I said, you missed the conversation. I never exempted Everquest, the post I was quoting did. Specifically, it was about games that "have gone away from "Forced" grouping to progress and they are designed so people can solo to max." If your argument is that games designed for grouping...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    Pretty sure you missed the entire conversation, which was not about Everquest, but games since then. No, I did not grow up playing WOW. Your post makes *zero sense*

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    Just because you did it, and you CAN do it, doesn't mean there are no penalties for doing so, as you claim. I'd rather have company while progressing as well, and have done this often. That doesn't mean that there weren't penalties for doing so. In general you can't kill twice as fast...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    I'm not sure what game you are playing, but I've found this to generally be FALSE. There are penalties for grouping up, including but not limited to - reduced EXP for killing, increased time to complete quests due to splitting quest drops, reduced cash / item drops, etc. etc. etc. Obviously...

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

    Thinking just briefly about the 'seamless world.' I thought it was a great idea back in the day, because zoning could be annoying. WoW did an interesting take on this with the chokepoints, Vanguard did Chunking, later on you could just fly both around and it's pretty much completely seamless...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    This pretty much describes me completely. I believe there has been an influx of players since the first month, due to the suspension of digital sales, just as he said. I bought mine after they opened up digital sales, play casually. My free month is over a week or two ago, and I'm 35...

    Seriously, this was so funny. Chris Hardwick went from attempting to politely redirect the conversation to being obviously annoyed and stopping just short of telling him to STFU. It's almost worth watching, but yes he completely ruined the show. On TWD, I thought they were going to kill off...

    I didn't really understand the pig butchering. It really seems like there are about a thousand better ways to draw the walkers off the fence than crippling a pig and throwing it out of a truck. I thought he was going to just let the zombies chase the pigs around, zombies vs. a greased pig...

    Agreed. His complaint is valid, but he's just putting a bunch of extra whatever-the-fuck into it. Releasing CT after BC doesn't make any sense, the group sizes are all F'd up. But claiming that people who never did BC won't want to do CT because it's easy for um, other people? Yeah. Oh...

    Yeah...the rest of the original post made sense, but this part still doesn't. Sure, there may besomepeople that just can't stand clearing something that's easy for someone else, or breaking into content that someone else has already done...I guess? However, people of that type are far more...

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    I had a friend who played Rift for a LONG time, raiding guild and all. He only recently quit and is playing FFXIV now. As far as I know, his guild was still goin and some of his friends still play there, though mostly seem to be slowly leaving.

    You might be alone on that. Currently playing FFXIV. First MMO I've actually played in quite a while, enjoying being a casual scrub.

    Maybeyouwould go with your buddies, sure. Do you really think no one would be using duty finder constantly to get this shit? Edit: Sure, like Ifirit's horn. Except that does not drop in the instance we are talking about.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Add an extremely rare pet/mount/cosmetic item to the Ifirit fight. BAM, problem solved. The rest of aren't nearly as big of an issue, at least they drop gear. Make them worth more EXP to make it worth running them multiple times, and again as people level up other classes.

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

    I know I'm jumping back to an old post - I believe the best mapping system is one in which there are maps, but without all of the landmarks. Allow the user to have a robust system of markers and notes, so they can place their own icons and labels on their own maps. I love it when games let you...

    I completely agree with you, KoPP was alright for a little while, but pretty grindy and simplistic. The quote above though is what stood out to me - I really don't see many decent turn based tactical RPGs out there! What are you finding?

    Was considering getting back into this, but I'm wondering if there's any point. Reading shit like this: kinda reminds me of why I quit in the first place. I had a pretty boss green team, but I felt like I had done everything I could do with it. Any point in a non-IAP player bothering at this...

    Had our 18 week ultrasound this morning - it's a boy! Tech asked "did you want to know the gender?" And, looking at the monitor, our response was "I don't think you need to tell us, we can see quite clearly." Good thing we wanted to know! Although, we had already told her that we wanted to...

    Yeah I cannot think of any major changes that anyone would be upset with. They tweaked things, like you stated, as they always do. My guess would be that your friends were just into XYZ champ that got nerfed or changed somehow, and that translates into "major changes" for them, but not for...

    It seems like that's very common, I have friends & family giving me new baby items already - it's just stuff they had from their kids that they never took the tags off! Good tip on the registering everywhere. They give coupons at Babies R Us just for opening a registry too, so it seems silly...

    Never knew this thread existed until yesterday. Poking through some forums I don't visit often and ended up reading it from start to finish. Good timing, as the wife is 16 weeks pregnant, our first. We are going to find out the sex (probably at our next apopintment in two weeks) and then...

    I thought you were buying 12 negatron cloaks because you were getting ganked by Annie who has 48 kills and a full build at 6:40? Now she only came once, and you escaped because you saw her coming? With no wards? Man, I can't even keep up.

    I've been playing Nami lately as support. Really enjoy her CC, even though she's not necessarily the strongest. She's a ton of fun against Draven, who seems to be extremely popular right now. Often you get those Dravens that are just so focused on catching axes, they'll try to catch every...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The better plan would have been for Ned not to tell Cersei that he knew about the incest, and Robert probably would not have died. Robert comes back from hunt, Ned tells him, Lannister's removed from power.

    Yeah i think that's pretty much the point in the video. Everything you want is from the rare egg machine, but it's never worth pulling on it, ever. Therefore, you either don't pull, and obviously have no chance at getting anything, or you pull and get disappointed 99 times out of 100.

    He'll pass Graviton Earth Dragon in ATK & HP at around level 90. He'll always have lower RCV. However, he'll have that 2nd attack, which is nice, and a harder hitting active.

    I just hope that the d'spinas drops aren't as shitty as the pterra drops were. Not sure how many times I ran expert, but I did get an ancient dragon from it, and no starter dragon, wtf.

    Puzzles and Dragons

    No 2x drops on legendary green yesterday and no 2x drops on ancient light today. Not sure what's up with that, I really wanted to farm a light starter! Drop rate on that thing sucks big time; RBG starters dropped all the time.

    Got 4 blue puddings in a single run - too bad I don't have berzerk! Not sure what to do with them, save them or destroy? Same with valk, got 2 light ones. Anyhow, was wondering wtf the point in master was, when expert has no demons, instead has evolved slimes which give more skillups too...

    Yeah, pretty much. Between 3 mask runs and 7 MSK runs, 1 MSK drop and of course, no skill ups.
