What do you think about quests like Crushbone belts today? EQ style grinding depends a lot on how fun combat is when you know you're gonna win. In POTBS, dozens of people did nothing but grind NPC fleets all day. It was actually fun, because you engaged 12 enemies at once, sailed into them and...

What is flex scaling? When was that added? I also don't think 40 is a high cap. But also, the higher the cap, the more people will have to sit out because the goal for a raid guild is to have a full roster every raid night, unless you really scale your content so the cap is really just a top cap...

To those who suggest a low raid number cap, do you have any idea what to do with the poor guy who can't come along because the raid is full or is that just a thing we accept now and live with?

I'm not aware of any examples, which raid bosses were zerged down when by a massive force, say 80+, of unskilled players while they were the current top content of the latest expansion. I know of one guild that zerged down Derakor the Vindicator with 108, but that one hardly counts as cutting...

Why even have a cap? EQ raiding worked fine without a cap. Did people just zerg down cutting edge content? no.

If you recall, that quote I mentioned was also used to dismiss perfectly viable criticism of the game. Basically every discussion on the VG official forum was shut down back then with that line, it was a nest of fanboi praise and unity.

while that is true, I hope this time around we can avoid the "perhaps vanguard isn't for you" attitude.

Any videos showing it? All I remember from LOTRO was sitting on top of a horse, doing the same thing as on the ground, ie what EQ did in 2003.

actual mounted combat would be a ground breaking novelty, I don't think any game of any genre has ever done that before.

Things I think I'd like No splitting of the player base into two RVR enemy factions. Factions like EQ had them. That was fun. The first few "tiers" of items players obtain should not be magical. Getting some leather, upgrading that to chainmail and upgrading that to bronze was rewarding and...

I mainly see the problem that terran is forced into mass marines at any stage of the game, regardless of what army the protoss is fielding. Storm should be good against marines, but Terran should also have more viable options against the protoss armies of today. Not even Battlecruisers work...

There's a fucking CRX outside on our street every day, and it's gone every evening. Sturdy little car.

I can't get over them having the user info on the wrong side of the screen.

right now you can get Civ 5 gold and BNW for 20 Euros, so I guess you'll have a similar price. That's most DLC, G&K in the gold version, you won't get that deal cheaper any time soon I guess.

How does third person work with Oculus Rift anyways?

did any movie show any complete cartridges when showing bullets slowmo in flight yet?

What are ISP notices? Are your ISPs allowed to inspect your packages so they can actually see you're torrenting, or are they just telling people they don't like it when they use the service they paid for?

I couldn't get into any game on dosbox if I hadn't played it before Windows. Dosbox games I did play when I was young I was again able to play the shit out of, Civ1, Colonization, Railroad tycoon, wing commander, frontier elite 2, dark eye trilogy just to name a few. I'm was devastated I...

I'll just add to Wish list instead of buying. I plan on just not buying anything, I'm pretty sure my stash and whatever EA and Ubisoft releases will carry me through the year. The only exception might be Legacy of the Void.

my main problem is that I basically pirated every single AAA title of the genres I enjoy over the last 5 years and now when I look through the Steam sales, all I see is titles I've already played, B titles I've never heard about and titles I have no interest in playing. The only titles I...

Who exactly did he kill?

yes, I have helm with 4L, using +life +resist summon skeletons and zombies.

I checked youtube for a perfect play walkthrough. First result was a video that started with a green death puddle right on the ledge, and then he died again on his "super easy" attempt

That run on the Anor Londo ledge vs two Silver knight archers is cheap. Most of the time the knights die, they actually fall off themselves. You mean because of the dogs? The demon itself is perfectly fine

They don't even know how to spell Thrash Metal. Bunch of to be aborted abominations.

I currently have 6 zombies and 9 skeletons at max level with minion resistance and minion extra life support gems. The problem is that even with minion life and all those passives, some bosses kill skeletons so fast they don't really deal any damage and usually there's not enough, if any...

Would cast on damage taken work with summon skeletons?

That second wave option only lets enemies shoot that go into overwatch when discovered, such as mectoids and cyberdisks, iirc. Also at what point will they shoot? While the soldier still runs? Or when he's in position? If it's the latter, it's a -40 accuracy shot due to full cover as...

the main issue really is that wide flanks are just too risky because you might run into another group that is clearly in LOS with the first group, yet doesn't give a shit that group has engaged the xcom squad in combat and just sits there, looking at the green corpse. That, to me, was the...

he claimed to hear the breathing. Nothing actually indicated he could.

Ankh Morpork is basically the perfect board game these days. They remembered board games have to be simple so you don't waste half the evening with the rules, and it's on a time limit so games don't take forever and turns are fast.

It's illegal to run out of fuel anywhere, because it's your own fucking fault and you are now blocking traffic.

Have you actually tried telling them you have 32 bit Win7? Or are you just blaming the big company and live with it? I work at a 50,000 people company and something like a fresh OS install is something we have done in a day. And Khane, just tell your boss you're about to be completely unable...

" Beale, [..] was earning a salary and bonuses of $206,000 a year, making him the highest paid official at the EPA. " isn't that what Snowden made? lol, highest paying official. But hey, it's good to know that lying about working for the CIA carries a prison sentence now. This is Ron...

The only system I've actually seen work well is the ability to only upvote individual posts with no track record of + received on the poster's profile. It would be nice when skimming over a thousand page thread to quickly see which posts are worth reading most. And when they hit a certain...

Let me just ask a really dumb question at this point. I'm level 59, how do I best get upgrades to the gear I have now? What do I do with all those orbs, I have hundreds at this point and no idea how to put them to best use.

You said 81 people voted no, and three hours later it's just 70 no votes. What's going on here?

What's stage three, Dominus Ascendant? I just did that as a group of 5 and no rain ever appeard. Took us over a minute at least, too. When I tried to solo him, the rain instantly started up when he became targetable and I just died over and over. Maybe it was a glitch, either way the fight is...

So when you do Dominus as a group, the stupid "stay in melee range or die instantly" rain doesn't appear? -_-

Anon netz didn't work either. I had like two dozen negs on FoH that were unrelated to the post and just said "nazi".
