    Did Everquest 1 - Project Monster (?) ever make it to alpha or beta? PC mobs

    It was one of the best ideas that never went anywhere. While the propensity for misuse was high they really should have brought it back for special events. With a few tweeks it could have really been something. Incorporated in to an expansion with a few high risk high reward zones in which...

    A finite number of possible transactions doesn't disqualify what is going on as being pay to win.

    I like all of the extra little bits of optimization that the best of the best of the best have gone through in search of a number one slot. There's something about weapons grade autism in action that makes me grin. What I don't like is that Blizzard seems fine with it? Alright alright Method...

    It's another "you need to be this tall to ride the roller coaster" requirement to be competitive entirely outside of the raid itself and the skills to excel at it.

    The GM of Limit tweeted that they blew 250,000,000 gold in their search of a world first. That's an incredible barrier.

    There's probably some room to blend Normal and LFR together and then Heroic and Mythic together to just have Normal, Mythic, and Competition.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I would sorta like them to rework their difficulty scale or otherwise introduce a tier above mythic that was the competition tier. People feel like the game is too often balanced (at least at the start of a content cycle) around the top 0.01% of players. To alleviate that and the "you beat it...

    It's got me planning on playing some retail WoW in the near future but no world first race has ever made me want to try my hand at mythic. In that regard it has always been the opposite.

    Watching the fight from the raid leader's perspective with the comms helped the viewing experience. I was able to decipher enough of what was going on to follow along without a ton of time spent watching which helped build some investment in the outcome. Just wandering in to a Method stream...

    Speaking purely as an outsider "boy howdy we sure are having a good time here in mythic come on down and get yourself a handful of this fun" has never been the message I've gleaned from my observations.

    Everquest Mangler Server - DOING IT ALL AGAIN, AGAIN!

    There's been a post from the new community manager about there being some kind of announcement this month and a clarification that the announcement could also just be no. Selo was certainly a success but there may be some trepidation on their part given Mangler is at the start of PoP. This...

    Loot as a seasonal phenomenon in conjunction with the activity lobby nature of the current game and personal loot is fine. If WoW Classic implemented it and all the Thunderfuries and Corrupted Ashbringer were handed out with a dice roll people would lose their shit but that's not what retail is.

    Just posting a page I like try and stop me. So for the next film you need to cast a sexy Poison Ivy and do a gussied up version of their BTAS episode together where they go on a crime spree also lesbians. Less 'splosions more romance.

    "To make it more difficult for the best couple hundred people on the planet to do splits" is so fucking retarded I'm afraid it's true. It alts are really easy people will use them for all kinds of things and that's bad because reasons!

    Take flying away for an expansion (the whistle works fine) and then bring it back the expansion after with it properly incorporated from the ground floor. Basically you switch to New Coke and then Coke Classic.

    What! You cut off the punch line! You monster! So what, on retail you've got essences plus corruption mechanics to dissuade making and playing alts when people really like making and playing alts? Are alts just casual things and casual things are bad so fuck them?

    "and her sanity got a little bit frayed" Need a fifth line that rhymes with the first (ideally with a play on words but "blade" doesn't really allow for one) if you're going to use the Nantucket limerick rubric.

    In their first encounter Federation shields weren't any use against Dominion weapons. Using a Galaxy class starship in that DS9 episode and having it not only crippled but destroyed in a suicide run really put over the Dominion as a serious threat. That level of viciousness was new and the...

    I wish they just went back to giving out flying after enough time had passed. I skipped Warlords of Draenor entirely and it's just a little extra bunch of fuck to be leveling something and get smacked with that bullshit. You gave me Mists of Pandaria flying flags for free! It's going on six...

    On the same "I have four 120 SPs" stream they spent some time going over what are I guess the initial Mage abilities. I hadn't been paying attention at all - So that's a single target ability, two different AE abilities and a PvP ability. Alright, go ahead and pick your covenant which you...

    Even if I felt like I could push buttons well enough (which I cannot do) I don't want to have to maintain multiple characters for purposes of splits.

    It's certainly better for the story to have a final tier upset rather than the same guild winning again. Now in Shadowlands Method can try and regain their crown while Limit looks to prove it wasn't a fluke etc etc. I'm still sad Josh got banned from Twitch and didn't pop up anywhere else. If...

    It's too bad the character didn't have more growth in Voyager. Towards the end they were teasing her getting the remaining implants removed, wearing a uniform, dating, etc. but that show just could not stop hitting the goddamn reset button.

    There's nothing healthy about the amount of gold the top guilds spend in search of a world first victory but it persists tier after tier after tier. I have to assume it's intentional and I don't like it.
