    Everquest Mysteries

    EQ drama was serious business! Ahh.. crazy how we got so wrapped up in that shit. 55k is pretty damn trivial though. Hell, Fungi Tunics sold for more than that back in that era. Just goes to show how worked up people got over pixel drama.

    Planet Earth II

    At the end of every episode, there is a mini doc on filming that particular episode. They focused on volcano / penguin island this time. Not sure if you missed it or it wasn't included in whatever media you watched it from.

    You buy a brand new TV with sound system... what movie do you watch on it first

    Visal / Audio would be two different tests for me. Visually, it would have to be a documentary flick like the latest "Planet Earth 2" series. Audio, "Master and Commander" naval ship battle scene has always been my go-to test. Amazing sonic range from ultra deep bass from cannon fire to...

    Planet Earth II

    Fantastic first episode! Some of those panning shots of the Volcano island with the millions of penguins was nuts. It looked too damn good to be real. I would have sworn CGI too! haha!

    The Documentary Thread

    Eh, I think it is exactly that. To show the nature and beauty of the earth overall. Hence "Planet Eath". The BBC, and David Attenborough has thousands of hours worth of very specific topical documentaries if that is your thing. I think this just highlights some spectacular things in nature and...

    @Utnayan I assume when you say you RMA'd it, you RMA'd back to Amazon or wherever you bought it? They likely just shipped you another faulty card from manufacturer. You have to RMA directly through EVGA to get a replacement card that has been hardware fixed. Retail websites will have stock of...

    Woah woah.. back off the PSU cliff... Sorry I couldn't have replied earlier, but there is a manufacturer's defect with the FTW cards! I too found out after the fact when I had purchased a 1080 FTW and had weird black screen issues. Later researched and there is a hardware fault and EVGA will...

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    Don't feel like reading the last 40 pages of the thread. The only question I had for the comic nerds is what Apocalypse meant when Jean went full out Phoenix and he said something like "there is another" before being vaporized. What is all of that about? Overall, the movie was meh. They need to...

    Doctor Strange (2016)

    I found the humor pretty damn tacky and forced at times to be honest. The stupid cape shenanigans was cringe worthy. Visually it was pretty entertaining, but I still rank this pretty far down the Marvel ranking in quality. Better than IM2/3 though. 6/10 for me.

    I can't speak for the pixel, but the biggest selling point for me with the S7 Edge is the battery life. I haven't owned a phone that was remotely as good as keeping a charge. I can often go a full true day to a day and a half (two if im hardly active) on a single charge. I know Kegkilla kept...

    Home buying thread

    Regarding prices, I find the exact opposite true around military towns. Everything is overinflated in its own little bubble economy because there's concentration of military all earning set housing rates. If local prices go up, housing allowances will tend to follow eventually. You end up with a...

    I've had mine since release and I can still occasionally go 2 days without charging. WTF did you do to your phone? Are you using some piece of shit Chinese knock off charger fucking up your battery with Adaptive Charging?

    Smartphones

    It's one model phone of many. This issue seems related to the Note 7 only, and more specifically affecting models with 1 of their 2 battery suppliers. I am perfectly happy with my Galaxy S7, which is unaffected. I think Samsung will get by just fine. BTW @Agraza .. done with Storm Haven emu?

    Should be a solid box. You have the typical Tank, Heal/Slow, and DPS. Ranged DPS is a must on some fights. Lots of people are boxing here though. You would find life a hell of a lot easier if you started tinkering with MQ. It's such a massive quality of life improvement.

    Computer Issues

    Yea, from what you describe, it is going to be tough to pin point exactly what the issue is without having spares to swap out. You say your screens black out, but you can still hear music and whatnot in the background? Do you have a spare graphics card to swap out and test? I'd check out (in...

    End game is Tier based "raids" and there are a lot of them. This wiki lays it out pretty clearly: Progression Guide: Raid Tiers - StormWiki 6-12 characters required. Some people box their own crews, others group with fellow players boxing fewer characters. There's so much custom content on...

    It's both. It is completely unusable and broken currently. EVGA does not RMA for APO (military) addresses, so it has to go back through Amazon anyway. As soon as the page popped up for a $670 refund, I thought twice about the purchase and don't really think it's worth that much over my 780 Ti...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    There were other tricks we used before 3rd party programs were mainstream. We used SoE's own buggy code for tracking across zone in Kunark era. I remember using /guildinvite Trakanon_01 as a command. If it returned "player not found", he wasn't up. If it returned "You may only invite player...

    Just a word of warning: Avoid the EVGA 1080 FTW cards. I found out after it was too late and my card arrived. It started with micro pauses, then to this dreaded black screen issue that seems to be plaguing the FTW line of EVGA cards. DO NOT RECOMMEND! Read more here: GTX 1080/1000 (EVGA) Info...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    As someone who main played a War back in the day, it was one of the most difficult before SoE later made changes. Back in its original form the blade from Queen Chardok was not always dropped. Queen was arguably one of the tougher Kunark raids of the day. Super fast densely packed trash respawn...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Wasn't meant as a dig at your server. In fact I said I was glad people had a place to continue NL. I quoted someone who said they wished more RR would come back, I simply said I had no interest in helping to lead or play. That was also based on the information I was given when you opened and...

    Keep in mind, that mi-high level SoD zones are meant to mix in while raiding. Some of the T1 / T2 raid content is easier than SoD zones. Having a mix of better gear helps. Regarding Kithcor in particular, the big dangerous mob density is in the good and evil camps, which you can completely...

    The buff bot on NL was shit anyway. Level 65 and it would cast useless vision buffs, resist cold / resist fire instead of circle of seasons, etc. The cleric buff was from the level 40s. After Maze said he was willing to re-work it, I sent him a full list of buffs that were level appropriate as...

    My suggestion is to get your Blackburrow access. In Oceangreen Hills, go to the friendly gnoll camp to the South East. I think you only have to do the first quest and then he sends you to Blackburrow. I find that shards drop far more often and tons off of trash. Named are really tough though, so...

    Stormhaven - Kate's Hoof

    76 and 77 are doable with a merc for sure. Be warned that named will definitely be a ramp up in difficulty from anything prior! 78 is even more difficult and you might have to farm up some raid gear for it... or do like Funkey and just grind out trash mob shards. The way I see it, this server...

    Honestly, I have yet to "grind" any AA. I just hit 300 on my Rogue yesterday and it has all been from questing, raiding (in a group), and exploring. You will find the quests in SoD for level 75+ group content / augs / gear are pretty lengthy. You only gain level by questing in SoD, so your AA...

    Epic 2.0 is a quest that individual members must complete, but via raid content. Mithaniel Marr was a massive bottleneck because of his crazy high DPS, AE stun, and split at 50% into two mobs. Tank Mercs are vaporized instantly and I (playing a rogue) could only tank so much. Having a real...

    Oh, and a bit of a <Kate's Hoof> update: Thanks to Djevel leveling up his War to 75 and getting a beefy amount of defensive AAs, we were able to complete our first in-guild Mithaniel Marr kill last night! This enables the guild to complete epic 2.0s and a pretty big barrier in Raid T1!

    Didn't @Secrets say he was doing his own vision of a NL type server, then basically say he doesn't have time for it and won't be working on it? To my knowledge he isn't currently developing a new server, is he?

    There are reasons to selectively pick some questlines from one path and some from the other. Old path has some nice clickies like DE mask, unlimited shrink pot, and summon a banker bot, etc. New SoF has some awesome item slots. So, there's an argument to actually do a bit of both. However, you...
