    Yup, it's amazing how much immersion that adds. FF14 has it and it's amazing. SWTOR? Man those 'worlds' were stale as hell. Sure they lacked more than a day/night cycle but without it they were even more turrible. Just turrible

    If you're bored (LOL) create a new character, then look at what server options you have left. (HINT: It's one. ONE. And that will be gone soon =D ) This is like a nasty accident on the freeway, I just can't help but stare.

    I was looking at your profile. Looking at your weapon sheet, I thought "Damn, how's he so high ranked with few infantry weapon kills?" THEN I see the Lib stats. Lol. I've done very little of that in game, but it looks fun as hell. Yell at me in game if you need a gunner (Trebb). I'll echo...

    *Edit: Spoke too soon, booted from queue and NA server list inaccessable. Stop bitching at people bitching. (As I bitch at people bitching at the bitching). People will always complain.

    I'll have to try the harasser trick. Dalton though, isn't there just too much AA on the ground these days? Oh wait you said TR, yeah we don't have to worry about strikers Another way to get people to quit is continuously one-shot them with the UBGL. I had a few VS sending me hate tells for...

    Same, and not wasting a weekend 'grinding' stuff. Can someone post when they fix the instancing/duty whatever the fuck it's called? :P Once that stuff works I'll go back to enjoying myself

    I don't mind the BF4's of the world, but only the PC 64 vs 64 type maps. Anything less seems to end up just having kids camping in corners, or one shotting with flavor of the month weapons. PS2 had FOTM shotguns for a while, but it's mostly been nerfed.

    You'd think with their 2.5 second GCD there'd be much less strain on the server per user. Compare that to, say Rift where its 0.5GCD for some classes plus 200 people all in one spot for an invasion, each having 20 different proc/dot/reactive the server has to track. GW2 had much fewer issues...

    Odd, my 20 character from last weekend isn't here. Hmm! Might have to do with the EU --->NA fix they did for me... Oh well at least Gilgamesh is open for new chars! *Edit You can't skip the intro scene? O.o

    Good news everyone! The benchmark ran like shiat for me(screen tearing, dipping FPS), yet the actual release game was smooth as a dream, even used 90% of my GPUs in SLI. Fantastic

    Yes yes I am. Getting an ERROR 3: Try again later fromhttp://preorder.eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/. Which scares me on 2 fronts 1) Server might just be down, but 2) how the hell did I end up EU despite picking 'Murica when I made the account O.o

    Yup. That's your lag + the enemies lag. With my shitty internet, I've died behind cover countless times. In other news, upcoming patch will be changing flak armor for the better. Even direct hits with my cheese grenade launcher won't 1 hit kill. May be time to try a real weapon for a...

    Sweet, got the code from GMG, even though it LOOKS like a valid code, it's not working. Instead I get a "MGAMEREG_ERROR_REGISTER_GAME_INSERT_VALID_COD E". Blargh.

    Goddamnit people, now I'm interested in trying this at launch. The good news is I found it for 22.50$ at Green Man Gaming (Coupon code GMG25-OGRUH-7SM8H, think it expires soon). I'm no shill, so if anyone finds it cheaper let me know :P

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    I downloaded this just to see what EQ is like these days. I realized I have no interest in the current stuff, so instead went to muck around near Felwithe/Crushbone. Yea they revamped Crushbone, orcs are red to me at 71 lol. Then I wanted to revisit Neriak, so I created a Dark Elf. My only...

    I'll be playing more soon, I'm on as Trebb on Waterson (TR). I'm on the road with a shiatty laptop. I have NO idea how people play this game with lowest settings + low FPS. It's like I'm playing underwater (try lowering rendering quality to see what I mean).

    I have that shit happen to me a lot, one guy C4'd my tank then my max, just asshole TKer. I had the whole platoon /kick then report him. Not much else you can do at that point, weapons lock is extremely forgiving (unless you're a max in a Bio Dome fight )

    The roadkills hitbox is buggy as hell. You need to aim where they're going to be, or squish that sniper while he stands still. This is why it's 10x easier to get friendly roadkills at 2 MPH, then run over an enemy at 100MPH aaand it doesnt kill them ;\

    The Secret World

    Was this the quest you need to do to rank up your faction...rank? I got stuck here too, then switched to AR/Fist, using full fist heals. I'm probably doing it wrong, but kiting that last mob around the statue and healing to full made it easy, didn't even need to use a potion. When I first did...

    Did they ever fix the VR? When it first came out, I bought a few of each grenade type to try it out, and it ended up unlocking all of them for me for free, so I basically got revive grenades for free. I don't know if that still works :P Max engie repair tool is sweet. Not only because...

    It's to prevent 2 people from farming free points for too long, or cert padding, whatever. I think it's a point amount, not time. So if you drop an ammo pack in a zerg, it'll stop giving you points much faster. This happens to me a lot. Notice when you first click to put the ammo or turret...

    I live on an island, and picked the wrong coast server, so with a constant 200-400ms ping, I've learned the only way I can win 1v1 is to play cheap as hell. One hit kills are your friend. I run engineer with the under-barrel grenade launcher. Even with shitty lag I can pop out, toss a grenade...

    The 'combat' they showed at the end was crap, but I'm willing to give that a pass for now. Especially watching stuff spawn/despawn then just sit there. For release, I hope fights are actually difficult, and not a spamming AE fest that WoW 'dungeons' were. The rest of the presentation was...

    Not sure if troll, but I'll respond with: All the other military branches have no restrictions on Tuition Assistance. I'm in the only branch that does. Right now the pendulum is swinging against personnel, they're trying to get rid of folks and reduce benefits. Hope it swings the other way...
