    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    I woke up this morning around 430am and saw that the que was 7500 deep. Its gonna be awhile before this is playable I think.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Most of that is due to pvp not having a rank decay. All of your hardcore guilds are pushing a majority of rank 14 warriors that make all of classic encounters trivial. Back in the day, if you were into pvp, you knew the rank 14s by name. Now they are shit out by the 100s. There's a handful...

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    I'm somewhat excited about new mobs, new quests, new zones, few new dungeons, and some profession upgrades. None of those are in any Blizzard supported servers now except SoD. Nothing on the mmo horizon that looks appealing anymore anyways.

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    I think mage was wildly popular due to their AoE farming capabilities. If thats been removed, I can see their popularity plummeting. I know a ton of people who had pocket mages, but not that many mains.

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    How is the bottting scene on private servers? I enjoyed some time on anniversary classic, but it seemed to be filled with a ton of bots and boosters 24/7 that disrupted the economy, as well as made the 8-60 leveling dungeons fairly empty, as everyone was buying gold to boost to 60.

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    AV was just an ends to a mean. If they removed PVP gear from a vendor that was tied to honor, battlegrounds for the most part would be dead empty.

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    Where do you download this at at? I think I will give it a go. Right now I'm on classic anniversary, but even with supposedly 10k+ on the server, I feel like it's mostly people being boosted to 60 and then raid logging.

    Would seem like its to counteract the AoE boosting / farming that is so prevalent now.

    Project Epoch - WoW Classic+

    Not trying to ask anyone to convince me of playing or anything, but how are these servers? Are they fun to play and have a population to support them? Im back on an mmo kick and its still sad to say that there is still only 1-4 mmos worth playing and are all almost 15 - 20 years old it seems...

    AQ will have more people logging off.... Naxx and TBC will see an influx in population though.

    FIL passed away - Financial advice?

    Just way to say thank you for everyone's knowledge and perspective on this, as this is not something that happens except once, maybe twice in our lifetimes. Losing a parent sucks, and a void will certainly be created in our lives. I'm just thankful that my wife and her brother are amicable...

    FIL passed away - Financial advice?

    My wife's father passed away very unexpected recently. The short version is that he left behind about a $600k pension and a house that's in fairly bad shape, but a cash offer has been made in the $280k range. The money / house will be split between my wife and her brother. Apparently the...

    Sad thing is that after 20+ years, there are really no other alternatives worth playing. You have FF14, GW2, ESO....that's our options. Certainly wish there were more.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I used to drive over an hour to go Best Buy back in the late 90s. That store was like a dreamland. Miles of brand new DVDs, tvs that were so massive in size and price ( 48 inch and $4k ), that i would never be able to afford them. Actual home sound systems that weren't home theaters in a box...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    I think Sanders fall is more from his attitude and entitlement. Deion certainly did not help with all of the statements made about where he was willing, and not willing to go...then had a jersey retirement ceremony for him etc. Hes always been coached by his dad, and always had things his way...

    Yup, I tried the controller in PoE 2 and got hooked on it. Controller on LE is no problem at all.

    Because I was assuming you were asking because you already had a lvl 71 and complaining about not getting a key to get to a faction earlier on a 2nd char. Campaign skip is not meant for a first time play through. It's there as a mechanic to speed up your alt chars.

    Last Epoch

    Then something changed, because you used to be able to join a faction on an alt before you hit lvl 6 to 10 by talking to an npc in one of the first areas. No key was needed.

    Last Epoch

    Favor.is based on experience gain. You gain far more experience faster when you are lvl.50+, than you will going from Act 1 to 7. Things may have changed, but you used to be able to choose CoF or MG on your alt within 30 mins of the campaign starting. I'm not sure what more people want these...

    All the zones are relatively small. Why are you finding yourself having to backtrack through zones? The loot has zero gold value, so it's not like in PoE2 to where you collect stuff to vendor for gold and have to constantly port in and out to sell in the first stages of the game. Campaign...

    Nothing is stopping you from doing so. If you visit any website that posts builds, or visit any youtube content creators builds, they are always going to push for max efficiency for clicks. No is going to make content that gets views for sub-optimal builds. Now that you can respec your...

    You keep saying the engine is janky and dog shit. Are you sure it's not on your end? I've played most all popular arpgs and I don't think any of them run as bad as your describing. Torchlight, T2, Grim Dawn, PoE 1,.PoE2, D3, D4, LE...all run pretty good. I did run into a problem about 2 to 3...

    Last Epoch

    The silver lining in all of this is that Last Epoch was never considered to be actual competition to D4 or PoE / PoE2. Last Epoch, in its current form, already wipes the floor with D4 and has gained enough popularity that it will force PoE2s hand much quicker when it comes to improvements...

    Path of Exile 2

    They 100% rushed this patch out to conflict with Last Epochs launch of a new season. That was a bitch move, as Last Epoch wasn't even on many peoples radar. The fact they keep releasing patches that have to have 20 hot fixes days into their new patch is ridiculous. If they want...

    Investing General Discussion

    I dont think we will ever know the truth about Ft. Knox. Supposedly our money supply is backed by the gold standard. If it was ever to get out that Ft. Knox is actually empty, it would cause a global monetary crisis in my opinion. If I remember correctly, the last time there was even a...

    I can't think of a modern game that had an economy that wasn't overrun with bots,.exploits, and currency manipulators, right off the bat. Same thing happened here I believe with the last 2 trade leagues being busted pretty much right out of the gate.

    I played this at high settings on a 1080ti and had no issue for years. One day I load up the game and it was unplayable. Nothing I could to would fix the frame rate to keep from going from 10 to 20 fps and stuttering. Even a fresh reinstall didn't fix it. Fast forward a few weeks later...

    College Football 25

    With the exception to the NFL 2k series, NCAA has been my favorite football. Despite being very similar to Madden, NCAA usually plays much better than Madden. This year they knocked presentation out of the park, compared to where it started. The addition to names, bands, music, sidelines...

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Is there any speculation to when the game might release? I haven't followed it, but I see the memes and comments about it having around $700m in funding and not being anywhere close to release. Is this similar to the Duke Nukem fiasco + an additional $675m+? Anybother good space games out...

    I don't recall the name of the guilds, but I got the one that effects the drops up to level 10. I'd go.and juice up the drop rate of various items so that I could get 4x to 8x the amount of drops. Despite that, I never got shit except duplicates. Going after a 1h dagger would lead me to...

    Lost Ark Online

    I think a lot of people wanted to like this game, myself included. The game does not have a healthy enough population to warrant someone trying to have a fun time going through the game. A large part of the community is elitist and 1%'ers, their bot army, and then the RMT bot army to support...

    Dragon Age: Why We Can't Have Nice Things

    Playstation 5

    I think the PS5 was the most hyped system to me in a long time. Not sure if it was a sad combination of it being hard to find because of the pandemic and being stuck in the house so I was yearning for something new. Turned out that I think I found one for $700ish during the height of the...

    As a veteran myself, I can tell you just from the circle of friends that I made throughout my time in service, most veterans that are rated high are not really " that " disabled.

    There are far too many variables these days to make blanket assertions when it comes to home ownership. Location is a huge one. While the idea of a co-ownership worked in your specific case, I'd wager it would be a very bad idea in a majority of situations. Timing is also a major factor. I...

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    The WoW quest model was far and away better for a majority of the player base. There was very little "questing" in Everquest at the end of the day. If you were not part of some organized raid guild, the majority of the population never really experienced most of what EQ had to offer. Now, its...

    I can echo the sentiments above. I played it and have enjoyed it as well. There are many aspects and mechanics that I do not firmly grasp yet, but figuring it out as I go. For $25 and only a single game developer, I am very impressed with what he has accomplished. I'm sure it will take quite...
