    Yep, it was always the intent to eventually wake it. We have SoDs being banked, most have gnome masks. Monk Robes haven't been forthcoming, but overall the post-awakening loot is far better and favors everyone vs the few for SoD, Gnome mask, Monk Robes on 1.0 warders.

    Right? 6700k was over $400 itself for the first few months. It's a pretty solid steal. I have recently given up on SLI after reading about negative performance hits playing in windowed mode, etc. I just have a single 980Ti now and am pretty happy with it.

    Every time I see Joe on screen I get pissed off. The guy has no reason whatsoever to be there. Takes the crown for biggest floater of all time? Without forcing Tai to play an idol this round, he has all but sealed himself a seat at finals. Surprised no one forced it out of him and more...

    There's a lot of complaints about this over on the DB forums. We assume it was to prevent guilds moving around TOV and simply zoning into main pick, avoiding Aary and whatnot. It certainly screws over armor farmers though. FYI: with the right group make up (tank, cleric, bard, chanter to slow...

    I disagree. We are 1 month and a 1 week into Velious on Ragefire and I am bored already. I have my 6 toons in near full quest armor (minus some Robes). We've killed warders repeatedly and basically started Vulak farm. There's fuck all else to do. Sleeper will be wokenverysoon. Yet, we still have...

    This was the original intent back in the day and why GoD was broken as fuck. They were supposed to be the same xpac. They split it in half and rushed GoD out the door without the level increase and the rest was history. However, I will say over time it was re-tuned down so I have no idea what...

    Apple shouldn't be surprising if people do their research. iPhone is shit and constantly trying to play catch-up with the rest of the market. They used to innovate, now they repeat this mantra of perfecting existing tech. This means, you aren't innovating a damn thing anymore. ipad and mac sales...

    When my screen went on my 3, I bought a replacement from China on eBay for like $10 and watched YouTube videos on how to swap it out. It wasn't all that difficult.

    Considering PS2 (Forgelight engine) looks pretty great and runs hundreds of players on screen at once, I've no clue why they strayed from that idea. Lower cost / proven tech? Na, fucking scrap it.. VOXELS!!

    No idea what difference it makes in this day and age. I remember 10+ years ago, all the hype was single rail PSUs. Multi-rail was shunned. No idea if or why it would be the exact opposite today. I generally think that PSU tech has evolved so much that unless you go with some cheap Chinese...

    On Ragefire, our Seb AE group would meet at odd-hours to get clear pickzones. Our team basically sent 2-3 wizards out for the pulls each round. We would end up with most of the entire upper floor from Disco to Chef in a single kill round. (We would put chanter boxes out of group for extra stuns...

    Survivor

    You're absolutely right, logically speaking. However, most players are thinking selfish at this stage of the game. They do not want to risk their chance of being sent home vs an idol play. It's a gamble. It's needed to get it flushed out and taken out of play, but that could very well be at your...

    I stand corrected. Training is still a no-go. But all the other traditional EQ rules were thrown out the window (KS, dps race, etc.)

    Unless rules have changed on Phinny, DBG said from day one that TLP is full out racing. Training wasn't against the rules, there are no such things as "camps", and any conflicts should be resolved with DPS wars. We know the real reason is because they do not field anyone for GM staff. But yea...

    If you have enough bards, spread your clerics out, if not you need multiples in a single group for MR resists for Dragon fear on Gore, Sev, and Talendor. For Trak and all of VP, clerics should never be in the AE whatsoever to worry about. If your clerics are eating AE, you're doing it wrong...

    Yep, all of the wurms are bugged out and taking a lava bath in the NW corner of the zone. (Dozens of them just pathing in circles in the lava) Clearly, no one has complained about this for a fix. lol

    CPUs are nearly bulletproof these days. I would lean far towards MB first. They are probably 100x more commonly faulty vs a CPU.

    TBH, I have no clue what ATK caps are in all this new code. They've probably changed combat half a dozen times since I played the game originally.

    Bunch of god damn newbies. Way back we didn't have the user creatable chat channels as we know them today. I distinctly remember ToV raids where one guild would use ooc, the other use auction, or whatever.

    Angry is by far the worst. On RF, we just made it part of our Gorenaire raids. We killed Gore at BW zoneline and right after she died, we moved the raid force around the corner to FM to spawn a new pic.

    Sorry, Zajeer. The whole fucking expac had to be re-tuned. GoD and OoW were supposed to be one expansion with a level cap increase to 70. SoE rushed the thing out the door by splitting it in two and GoD was released with no level increase. EVERYTHING from trash mobs in the first zones to raids...
