    This is already fairly prevalent with Protection Paladins/Holy Paladins. While your dedicated Holy paladin might not have a suitable tanking set, your dedicated Protection Paladin sure as hell will have a suitable holy set in 9 out of 10 cases. The Prot Paladin without one is worth considerably...

    Ok, work with me here now. The reality of guilds is that you"re going to have a mix of players available to play with. Be it a 10 man guild or 100 man guild, you"re never going to get 100% of everyone on the exact same schedule and exact same playstyle. You"re going to have your 100%ers that...

    Yeah, but if every guild could have players WITH FOUR CHARACTERS EACH everything would be much better! The job system is retarded, and whatever problem you think it solves, it doesn"t. Now in your 10 man, 4xclass characters, when one person goes missing you"re REALLY fucked.

    Zehn, try to keep up now. I"m not talking about sitting players on a fight because you only need so many healers, I"m talking about letting people off for the night because their role is covered and they absolutely do not need to be there.

    It"s not about prevention, it"s about requirement. You have a job system in place from the get go, in a game designed around it from the ground up, and you will essentially require every player to one day take up MULTIPLE jobs at the very least, if not all of them. It"s just a matter of time. So...

    Swapping people in and out *is* fun, if you"re talking about entire raid nights. No one likes to have a 100% attendance requirement, whether you"re raiding 2 days a week or 5 days a week. The only way to mitigate that requirement, while still maintaining progression, is to have *more people*...

    Again, if you"re swapping people in and out, like it"s much easier to do in larger raids, then the loot isn"t going to rot until well after you should be done with the zone, but can"t because you"re waiting on RNG to blow his load in your mouth for that second glaive. Of course, if we"re talking...

    With more people, the issue becomes moot. The fact of the matter is it"s easier to sub out your 5th X class than it is your 2nd X class, especially if you"re talking about a key position in the raid like off tank, or healer. It allows greater roster depth, a more robust gearing of that roster...

    It"s got nothing to do with being social or not and everything to do with it being a goddamn hobby, and not just a game. More people = better, period, in every single case. No, you don"t need massive 500+ member guilds to have fun, but to say that you experience anywhere near the same level of...

    And why should it? Class diversity is a huge selling point for a lot of players in these types of games, and skill based systems have traditionally failed for one reason or another. A better way to solve class unavailability? Get better server tech and increase the load on each server by a fuck...

    There"s a few different ways to do Netherspite. You only need one tank per red beam per phase. Hop in the red beam, heal up to full, and then hop back out. Wash, rinse, repeat, and you shouldn"t get any more than 14 stacks of it, tops. You can go up pretty high on them as an epic geared tank...

    Depends on what you"re talking about. For simplicity purposes, EQ"s original and WoW"s original item systems have been the easiest to understand so far. Both of them have failed the Weapon Speed portion of itemization fairly horribly, but otherwise were fairly easy to understand as far as item...

    Curt"s that guy in the Leroy video that spouts off the survival percentage. You know it. EDIT: Just a few quick pointers... I"d drop 5/5 Imp Demo shout and spend the points elsewhere in the Protection tree (say, One Handed Specialization). You only need 5/5 imp demo if you"re the only...

    Well, for different reasons. Launch day raids were mainly extensions of Velious raiding for the most part. Few neat tricks here or there like the Geddon bomb, but for the most part tank this, heal that, DPS the shit down, and watch out for X Area Effect. Trash respawns, loot allotment, trash...

    It was a flaming pile of shit used and abused by the worst people possible that you could have policing your playerbase. They were uninformed, idealistic, sloppy, disgruntled, angry at life in general, or all of the above. It was a system easily corrupted and implemented even worse. To become a...

    I think you"d find that is strictly not the case for the majority of posters here. Say what you will about what you think the quality of the forum is, but generally people don"t stick to just one forum and DO have an opinion to weigh in on a wide variety of topics.

    Cockblocker. I look at it as a social experiment. Given enough "peer" pressure despite the complete absence of retribution, how far will someone go to make people happy? What depths can we drive them to? Are they more prone to do the big stuff like flash a bit of nip or even go full nude if we...

    I don"t see how player housing can work in anything but an instanced form of SOME sort. Beyond that, the actual house needs to have some form or function related to the game beyond simply being able to pick out which pink polka dotted curtain you want to string up in your boyfriend"s bedroom...

    WoW released with neither, if you"ll recall. There were a total of 8 beatable raid encounters plagued with bug after bug that actually made assembling a crew to even attempt them a mini-game in and of itself. If you actually did manage to kill them, the loot was itemized so horribly to the point...
