    [WoD] Garrison Optimization Launch Thread

    No the only cards you can make if you don't have inscription is Darkmoon card of Draenor. I get it, everyone got the same idea since the cards were selling great the first few weeks but the market is saturated now. Problem is I can't think of any other profession building that makes decent...

    Ok so apparently I'm an idiot because everyone is doing them and I'm not but how do you get a garrison invasion?

    [WoD] Garrison Optimization Launch Thread

    So the card market has all but dried up on my server so I'm considering swapping out the scribe hut. Main professions are enchanting and (currently leveling) herbalism and I already got the enchanting hut and Salvage. Suggestions?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Ran LFR last night (half of which were guildies) it took 30 minutes. No mechanics, just tank and spank (at least that's how it felt). On the upside I got to replace a piece so it wasn't a total loss but other than that it was about as boring as you'd expect. I've been in heroics that took...

    Has there ever been a successful korean MMORPG that was properly managed by a western publisher? The korean dev is always going to have ultimate control over what happens with the game. Seems like a combination that is doomed to fail. I'm curious if some players would of even lasted that...

    The Walking Dead

    Only problem with that is then it invalidates the previous scene where the cop got thrown down the elevator, he basically tells her that nobody likes her anymore. I got the impression none of the cops that were left wanted her around anymore so they are not going to do anything to help her. It...

    The Walking Dead

    You would be amazed at the kind of fans this show has. There are at least 2 people I work with that are crazy TWD fans, will watch an episode 3-4 times to break it down and also watch Talking dead and anything else they can get information from. Note that none of these people know the comic...

    [WoD] Garrison Optimization Launch Thread

    Right now my biggest money generators are darkmoon cards via the scribe hut and random reagents I don't use. It's been enough to keep me above water when it comes to garrison costs. There are two things I would change though: 1 - Have alts be able to contribute to the main garrison. It's a...

    There are definitely those that have invested a certain amount of money into this and they will defend it to the end. I gather if you are financially invested (beyond simply a patron account), you're more than willing to look beyond many of the game's faults (and this game has a shitload of...

    Yes I jumped on that best buy deal, Mario 3d world and kart, plus it took the discount off the higher priced item

    I think the difference is that because of the nature of the game, the issues have a huge effect on the game. It would be similiar if the level of hacks\exploits existed in Eve as to what effect it would have. Beyond that though, its not that it exists, it doesn't seem a whole lot is done about...

    Regardless of who's actually running the game or not, I can't see how this doesn't hurt Trion long term. How does anyone take them seriously as a MMORPG developer/publisher after this dumpster fire?

    The Walking Dead

    I'll actually defend the show here since Beth doesn't really know how Rick is 'now' since the last time she saw him (any of them outside of Darryl) was the prison and he wasn't that batshit insane yet. Beth probably thought she was home free initially, Noah letting himself go back to Dawn...

    The Walking Dead

    I'm with some others, it was always a question of whether it was going to be Carol or Beth so her death didn't surprise me that much. The only surprise was how it went down. I thought the episode as a whole dragged a little bit, they wasted almost half the episode on the church scenes just to...

    It had the Falcon in it with x-wings thrown in. I consider that a win for a teaser.

    I wonder how this game is going to deal with the inevitable server merges/character transfers since I would imagine some servers are going to be ghost towns sooner rather than later.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think it's very good, best expansion since Wrath IMO. Questing feels right, treasures and rares scattered all over the place to break it up and garrisons are fun as well. I've never been that much into lore and story but with cutscenes and phasing, Blizzard had got it down to a science now...

    Keep in mind that a large chunk of WoW subs comes from China and WoD is not available in China yet.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I can think of a few reasons for the jump in subs: 1 - 1 year without since any new content which brought back a lot of players that quit during MOP (I'm one of these). This group usually accounts for the usual spike when an expac launches. 2 - Nothing else on the market. Look at the...

    I think what's funny is when they show them inside the van as it falls, it is actually pointing down (facing the ground) but then it rights itself back onto it's wheels. The average person watching this show doesn't care but still...

    Only WoW can gain more subs in an expansion to a 10 year old game than any MMORPG has had in total subs in the last 10 years. ETA: Yea got dumped and not cannot reconnect. Lag was starting up right before the dump.

    This was my reasoning for going with the Trading post over the lumber mill. You get the exact same GR yield by paying gold instead of cutting down lumber, seemed like a no-brainer. So far GR hasn't been an issue. Also whoever suggested handynotes - thanks that addon is great. As for...

    They cater to it because that is what the market has shown that players want (at least a majority of them). For as successful a game as EvE is, it is still very much a niche title that does not appeal to the average player (and there are a number of reasons for this, not just the open world...

    I'm going to get that refurbished Wii U from Nintendo but I'm very surprised there really isn't any great BF Wii U bundle on sale. I figured at the least the $299 super mario 3D world bundle would come down to $250. As for games, 3D world and Mario Kart are probably the first on the list...

    Speaking of canon, is it somewhere in the different versions of Batman's childhood that Selena Kyle knew Bruce Wayne and spent time in Wayne Manor when he was a child? It does somewhat give move meaning to their relationship later on.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'll never understand those that take a full day off work to play day 1 of a video game, specifically an expac of an MMORPG. It's not like the game is going anywhere, world firsts don't mean anything anymore and you probably lost more money (in vacation/sick leave) for that day then the expac...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I went Trading post for my first medium as I believe the yield is more for basically less effort (just buy whatever the daily reagent is). So far GR isn't an issue as I play casually enough for work orders to stockpile up.

    This was by far the biggest issue I ever had with the game. For a game that proudly proclaimed 'open world pvp', it was amazing how very little the game itself promotes that and in turn, how limited the 'open world pvp' really was.

    To add to this I thought it was a little ridiculous that the gryphon master in my garrison is charging his own commander (me) gold just to ride on his birds. I thought the guy worked for me but I guess you got to put food on the table somehow.

    Interstellar (2014)

    This was one the bigger 'oh shit' moments for me, when they went back to the ship and the black guy tells them he's been waiting for 23 years. Although he did sleep some, he also did age (said he was doing experiments) but I would think at some point you would slowly go crazy at the thought...

    Have to admit, once I got past the queue (30 mins) I was able to play with no issues. Some lag but not unplayable. its definitely on a server by server basis and not game wide. I just got the garrison to tier two and trying to figure what to put for the 2nd small plot since my profs are...

    I'm trying to remember the last time it was this bad because I don't believe it was MoP or Cataclysm, certainly not to where every single server, even very low pop servers are running queues. I'm guessing they've either lowered the caps again or they never raised them. The character not found...

    Thanks, we will probably go that route. Just got to figure out what games we would get, probably two games for them and one for me (bayonetta). Plus we still got a decent amount of Wii games (I assume it still plays those).
