    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I don't think it was even really the interrupts themselves, but the need to overcome interrupt armor that generated the issues. Having to use 3 interrupts in a row to stop an ability is one thing, but the fact that the armor regenerated at a non zero pace meant you had to do a level of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I'll never understand the people who are sad there's no lady stoneheart. It gives us one "ok" scene where none of the top guys get their comeuppance via the rope, just some shitty random freys, and the segue to Brienne luring Jaime out. Either could be handled in random other ways without...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I've been systematically doing that since I joined =/ No videos though. I enjoy the lore from FFXIV quite a bit, but then I'm a lore/story/worldbuilding nerd at heart. It's not directly connected to anything, just lots of throwbacks like others have said.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So you replace levels with.. gear? Achievements? Abilities? Skills? Zelda is not an rpg and is a single player game. When comparing relative power levels to content, in mmos you compare to other players, which requires some easily understood metric of how that comparison rates. This...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well. By nature of having a progression system, you will have content that goes mostly unused a few weeks/months into the lifecycle of the content. Much like leveling content, your introductory stuff will only be used by noobs and only for a short period of time, compared to the "endgame"...

    Terraria

    For the one time cost, it has easily the most hours I have spent on a non-mmo invested in it over multiple playthroughs at a paltry sum. Worth every penny.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Me too, but leveling is pretty ingrained into rpg players in general. Hell, there's leveling in MOBAs. The sense of progression from seeing your pixels tic up through experience is hard to replace for a lot of people, I think.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think that keeping the leveling process would be fine, if it was confined to one character per server. Every other character thereafter would be auto-promoted to max on that server. Especially in questing type games like WoW, where it is very tedious to go back through all the content again...

    Yeah not doing it, just musing. I'm currently focusing on getting warrior/paladin to 50 because Dark Knight has class skill with them. Queue times are so excellent =|

    Now that I have all my crafters at 50, I'm just waiting for a bit for the leves to replenish to finish out Botanist. I think I could very easily get to 4 star crafting before the expac, but I'm not sure I care to put in that amount of effort. I wonder if they will let you use sub 50 leves...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Lancer is crazy easy, honestly. Until you get the third combo move, you can just use impulse drive and the +damage buff attack. After that, without all the positional requirements you just use the three hit combo. Like every other dps, your queue times will suck, but they can put out some...

    edit: removed random vitriol. No idea why. You can get up to three stacks of aetherflow, like Pyros mentioned. I haven't personally run into any graphic issues like you mentioned, and I have all classes at least at 30. Could be specific to your rig.

    Being serious, your lack of knowledge in what you are talking about is absolutely hilarious. Though! Aetherflow is a stackable infinite buff, that you deplete upon usage. In other words, always be using aetherflow tics and using them to power abilities. Forever. No idea what to tell you...

    Well, when you look at nutrition facts, they generally have a cooked and uncooked number. A cup of cooked rice is like 1/2 a cup uncooked in most cases. I'll cook mine, freeze it, and then use a measuring cup when I pull it out of the freezer. The trick is keeping your rice fluffy so that it...

    What's the worst movie you've seen at the theatre?

    Really, people didn't get hyped over Donnie Yen with a spear and Jet Li with a sword doing some crazy martial arts shit? (And of course, flying) Hero was a great movie, but it most definitely wasn't what was advertised. If you want to see a bullshit "wtf" martial arts movie, watch "The...

    Actually, an easier method would be to cook a bunch when you have some free time, then cool it and store it in the fridge. Reheat as needed, and it'll last 4-5 days easy at a time. You can even freeze it and then add it in later, as brown rice is super robust and will survive the freeze/thaw...

    Going by pure ilvl yeah, it'll be trash. I think that is what was expected, much like you weren't wearing Umbral for raiding at 60 in EQ for the most part.

    Zero, since they have actual NA servers instead of servers with an NA population. The game was also initially released on PC as opposed to consoles, so they have that going for them as well.

    Well, the most consistent money makers are crafting 2 star ingredients that maxed out crafters will use in their 3 and 4 star recipes, and echatl sealants from getting ixali oaknots by doing the dailies for the ixali beastmen faction. Aside from that, gathering mats don't sell super well since...

    Materia means nothing until you are max level, and then if you aren't crafting/gathering it doesn't mean a whole lot of anything.

    Apple Cider + seasoning (usually mustard seed/celery seed) can go a long way, and it lasts much longer than the cabbage will. Though personally, I prefer using sour cream+apple cider vinegar for my coleslaw.

    Chopped sauteed garlic will have a different flavor than using the powder, which is dried. With the sauteed garlic mixed in, you get a sweet-ish front flavor, while the powder adds a background flavor. I absolutely -love- garlic in basically everything, so you can remove the powder if you...

    You can make ghetto beans that will probably still impress in a short time frame. Get a couple of cans of "Ranch Style" beans, and rinse them in a colander.

    Yeah, I guess if you have the money and the stuff is cheap enough, just buy the gear. If you have a FC or are on a server with crafters from here, you can skip the entire gearing up process. But really, skipping a lot of post 50 content (there are a -lot- of dungeons) so you can be ready for...

    Oh, that picture doesn't even begin to touch on how f'd up it is. The evil queen trades heads to look different (like literally pops her head off and puts it on a shelf) and she has crazy punk-rock minions who have wheels for hands and chase Dorothy around. Quite the creepy little movie.

    Skip the relic. You don't need exceptionally high ilvls, and simply doing dailies will get you up to 90 (the highest needed for story) in a couple of weeks or so.
