    SWTOR

    When I was leveling up in culinary school, one of the gems of wisdom my chefs used to always stress was the following: If you pay .50 for a slice of pizza, and the pizza is shitty, you've still overpaid. Now, the numbers game is very real, and a major reason why I played both TSW and SWTOR...

    SWTOR

    Anyone who thinks the community is what doomed either swtor or TSW is deluded beyond belief. Also is Osiris another qwerty account? That's a pretty spot on copycat. (IE, you're nuts.)

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    It's terrible; I hit tatooine on my jedi at level 22, and all of my quests are orange and red because of the exp reduction/no rested. I haven't logged in since then, just a total killer.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The point wasn't that there was no spirit wrist; that's an ANNOYANCE. The point was that there's only one wrist period for leather wearers of the intelligence variety, yet there are 5 cloth bracers. Hell, there are the same amount of plate wearing specs (9) as there are cloth specs, and it...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Explain to me how an ilvl 489 wrist is equivalent to 496? It's in an entirely different teir, not to mention that ilvl 489 also has cloth bracers. (Admittedly they are rep.) Your example is stupid. Do you know how teirs work? Or since we don't like the "teir" word, do we know how ilvls...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Can someone explain to me, why there are two cloth bracers with spirit at ilvl 496, and three without spirit at ilvl 496, but only one leather bracer with int, that has no spirit? Whoever does loot tables should be shot.

    American Horror Story: Asylum

    I think I liked this season more than last season, mainly because the characters were so much better. The big difference for me also was that I felt a lot of the big reveals in season 2 were predictable - things like Lana's kid etc. And the ending: Whereas in season 1, things like the...

    But it's only thunderforged for that teir right? So most guilds using dkp aren't going to buy a slightly higher ilvl than 489 while they're in HOF/Terrace, or in 5.2 in Throne. If you're having trouble farming Throne, yea maybe it's a bit of a perk, but I really don't see this meaning anything...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That would be a fine way to refer to things, except that all the patches not only introduce more ilvls, but more "best ilvls". And it's not all from just raiding the best shit. The upgrade guy is gone in 5.2 but now there's heroic thunderforged. Did we really need another "best of" to attempt...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Touching on a point from before, in the book they make Syrio out to be crazy good at fighting. He almost manages to dismantle the guards who come after Arya with a wooden stick until it breaks. Saying "it was a hopeless situation" seems like a cop out. He's a swordmaster, true, but I don't...

    There's still too many teirs, even considering blues. Christ, while I was leveling up I had ilvl 404, 410, 415, 420, 425, 430, 440, 450, 458, 463, 476...then you finally start raiding, and it's 483, 489, 496, 502, and any upgraded levels. What...the...fuck?

    SWTOR

    A successful FTP model would not take away, but would instead add incentives to subscribe. When the Secret World went FTP, they took away virtually nothing - it was the same experience. I feel the restrictions are quite disturbing - maybe that is because they made it a subscriber game, so...

    SWTOR

    No, I don't want it for free. What I want is to feel that all the money I poured into it previously wasn't for naught. I had a subscription up until November, when I cancelled it, as I had both a GW2 and an active WOW account. In the end I got 300 cartel coins, and things that I had already...

    SWTOR

    When I said "filler", I meant all the extra quests that go along with class quests. They're not very inventive - it's just more of the collect this, assassinate that, kill 20 of these, etc, and while the FTP exp reduction isn't SUPER TERRIBLE (I believe it's 25% less exp, plus you cannot gain...

    SWTOR

    I was one of the biggest proponents of this game when it first launched. I'm such a lore nerd, and having a game where you had things that werealmostas good as wow in some respects, plus amazing storylines, voice acting, awesome cutscenes etc. A character that you could craft from the ground...

    SWTOR

    Agree Bacon. While I've been playing recently, I've lamented some of the "perks" they removed that are really QOL - mostly saying how much I loved (and still love some parts) of the game and how it had so much potential. None of it makes me want to sub, or pay the price for that perk; it just...

    Orpik is awesome; I'm glad he has a no trade clause. His hit on Kreider is example A of why we need guys like him to keep tossing their weight around, old man or not. Ideally would have been nice had it just taken him out of the play instead of getting a whistle, but that's what you get for...

    SWTOR

    So I just logged into my preferred account today; I have a max character of every class on empire side, and since it's been awhile and I have no real ties to the game, I figured it was the best time to see the republic stories. If I could make it past level 26, that is. The things that...

    World War Z

    Book was phenomenal; because it puts it from different views you accept it more readily. It was haunting, because it put a zombie invasion in real terms. Most zombie flicks tend to have this very "Woah, isn't this fuckingweird? tone to them, and while world war z did, but it was more in the...

    Yea, it's been awhile since that conference win; my annoyance is from the bandwagon fans you mentioned (my boyfriend). He doesn't really understand much hockey but when they score he will chuckle for a good 15 minutes. Drives me crazy. He's also a bandwagoner for the heat. Sports seasons are...

    At least you're not sitting through the panthers game; really hilarious how crazy the fans are over division championships. After seeing the big ceremony for the Kings, it feels mocking (as it should) to make such a fuss for a division, el oh el.

    Gogo wasn't doing much for the Pens anymore; Niskanen has been a stronger force for us since acquisition. It was a good move. Penguins look amazing; now if we can actually do something the second period instead of fucking about we should be good.

    As for disc, I actually didn't see the nerfs, just the buffs. The only nerf I saw was that divine aegis is not guaranteed from prayer of healing. That blows if so. Disc I thought was right where other classes needed to be. And I'm sure any class will get taken to heroics. There is a...

    So 5.2 has some healing buffs. Druid mushroom is getting changed to absorb rejuve healing, which looks kind of neat, although honestly it should probably bloom on it's own instead of requiring us to activate. Meanwhile, disc priests get ridic buffs. I'm not saying they don't need them; PW:S...

    No, I absolutely hate them. Scenarios are a classic example of what is wrong with MOP, sort of. You have scenarios, which you cannot do till max level for some ungodly reason. They should be doable while you're leveling up; you can't even use the excuse that it drops ilvl 450 gear etc...

    Ok, there are a lot of misconceptions in this post so I'm going to be thorough. 1) The issue with resist gear was that you needed it for two fucking fights in AQ (huhuran, which was tanks/hunters and maybe rogues, and then whoever was the "soaker" for when c'thun's eye beam when you entered...

    Old school scholo was a lot like BRD; a lot of bosses, little bits of tricks and additional things that you could get to unlock more rewards or more bosses. I don't know if I prefer new scholo to old scholo, but that's just nostalgia talking. Overall, less trash and a more streamlined dungeon...

    Yea, it sounds a bit contrary but it needs an upgrade; it's old and dinged up so i doubt at this point I could get anything on a trade in anyways, and only laziness has prevented me from doing so. If it gets water damaged I'll finally just replace it, but I'm not super worried about dunking it...
