Okay so I just heard about this and I am in. Ench, Sham or SK... decisions... @OhSeven I can do late night/early morning. Is there a place for me around hurr?

Yeah. The fundamental argument that you're trolling with it comparing these two things: EQ - Items exist and upgrades exist in expansions or even within expansion. Odds of getting BIS are extremely rare in all cases. But you can use items through an expansion. Previous content is absolutely...

You're outright fucking lying now. Shut the fuck up. I even agree with the general statement you're trying to make. But on this you are 100% fucking wrong as this never happened during live. A lot of top tier raiders went through a lot of Kunark before upgrading various vanilla items. Because it...

Yeah Jesus this is fucking dumb. The RBB and RBG were extremely rare. By comparison the FBSS was dramatically more common because of its loot location and much less randomization between it dropping at the Frenzied Ghoul camp. Just because you could, theoretically, get an RBB from Karnor's. I...

because the item was cool and the quest was awesome.

The main argument here is that new content shouldn't shitcan all previous content. This is a good design philosophy.

Can someone find a link to the mandarin? I'll go ask my lady what they're saying.

And really. Chuck also could have gotten out of that whole situation with his father and Ira by just saying he thought it might be a possibility that Axe came at him that way. But he was willing to take the risk because he believed in Ira. That he knew Axe had bought the books he sold just to...

I think it was more about it being immersion breaking and dumb that you know, beyond doubt, that every single item you get is being dumped for something else. It leads to no attachment to 99% of the items you get. As it is just part of the gear treadmill. Which everything is. But obscuring that...

Yeah I am done with this fucking show. I used to like it because it was just about two kinda shady dudes who play around the edges. Episode 11 jumped the shark so hard it was unbelievable. Chuck's dad disowned him over the Ice Juice thing... That was a bit much too. Is this supposed to be...

I've only had good bosses. But I've had multiple product owners who thought nothing of throwing me under the bus. The more annoying part was that they gained nothing from doing it. That shit I don't get. I've since become full on scrum nazi and it isn't an issue anymore however.

I don't mind this. Should be fun. Pretty sure this is supposed to take place after the Dark Tower series because... something something

Yeah. The dudes with the brains are the ones who own their boats and can manage the furballs like @BrutulTM says. This is what my father did. Furballs is his word for the junkie fuckups lol. He was always responsible with it. But he is the odd duck on that spectrum. My Grandfather was a lawyer...

Yep. There's a reason commercial fisherman and anyone working on boats are completely cash only. lol.

I worked on his boat up until I was 18 then I joined the Army. It's damn hard work and most of the people are nice... but also retards and just not my scene. It isn't a bad life though. They are much more interesting than mill workers though. As the majority of boat crews (any fishing crew) are...

Tuna on the Oregon coast mostly. As he is old now. He used to do Salmon and Crab in Alaska for like 12 years from 1978-1990. Yes like in Deadliest Catch.

Yeah, most welders are shit. My father is a fisherman by trade but also had a business doing dive salvage work on the Oregon coast. Been around blue collar type workers my whole life. Most welders are fucking idiots and really bad at it or just mediocre. They don't get work and eventually go and...

That was half the house saying that 24 million hard working Americans wouldn't have healthcare anymore.

At the beginning of this year it was ~$450/month for a single, 24 year old, non smoking male making $50k a year. This is in Arizona.

I liked it.

One thing I do credit Brad for and his, "visions" is that he is willing to do some wild development. Put in totally experimental game design choices right into production because fuck it, that's cool. While Vanguard did eat it. It did a some things very well and I hope he does include those...

So? Were you having fun exploring? I read something several years ago about how something like 5k+ quests in Everquest were never even completed by any player.

They don't matter when your constituents are paying $600 extra a month to support those people and you can decrease it by $300. They'll vote for it. Sympathy ain't worth a not insignificant portion of their monthly income. This is even before the death spiral the ACA creates by pushing huge...

What you're talking about is the gap between Medicaid and the ACA itself. People who are still in that gap (on ACA but make too much to get Medicaid) are just going to get fucked. That's what Ryancare is doing. And that's the point. The subsidizing fund for the high risk pool has been drying...

Okay then you know that the ONLY reason insurance companies even agreed to enter the ACA market is because they were being paid cold hard cash through some funds such as the Risk Stabilization Fund. The intent of that fund was to balance out their actuarial tables so they would offer lower...

Do you even understand how the ACA functions? The intent of this reorganization is to price people out. Even if they qualify for subsidies. The entirety of Ryancare can be summarized as thus: "Squeeze out the lower end to decrease pressure on the middle."

While the new Ryancare bill is shit. It will allow for the reorganization of people into risk pools. Thus pricing people out of the market and lowering prices for others.

I think it's going to b a pretty epic Coup de Grace and a turning point for Jimmy to prove to himself and Chuck that he is fully capable of bending a court to his will. That he is just as good at the game as Chuck is. He just has to play it his way.

Sounds interesting. I'll go in for $40. Whatever. I like the idea of what they want to do.

I enjoy it and get to rank 8 or so before I get tired of the grind. Still annoying bro.

I'm down with the no RMT police state.

I honestly don't know how you get around that other than controlling the RMT bullshit in game. Even then... The other way is to maintain a police state on that crap.

I'd consider that if those crafting survival games didn't seem to be universally shit. "Make your own story" is just about having meaningful interactions in a game.

What game are you talking about? I am just meaning something where you are just a dude, an adventurer in a dangerous world. Not the Hero Of the Universe like @Fight is talking about. Not WoW's style in that everything is just so sterilized. I am just so tired of that.

I am all for not sterilizing loot like that. Really, original EQ (up to Velious) did not have THAT much of an item problem. Loot tables are something else but items themselves? No. Bring on items with poorly thought out effects. If they truly end up game breaking? Nerf them. If items are a...

Agreed. Too many Theme Park MMOs thanks to WoW and its spawn. Let's have a sandboxy game with lots of background to make our own stories in.

I like the death penalty and I am too old for true XP loss IMO. I don't mind hell levels here and there but I don't want shitty DND implementation of XP penalties on certain classes/races. Like Troll SKs sucking the penalty dick and Halfling faggots having an exp bonus for... reasons. There are...

I am excited to follow the development of this game. They will be able to do some pretty clever stuff with the game mechanics if they don't go crazy on the graphics. Which they aren't doing and that's totally fine. Might be just the MMO we deserve.
