    Just killed Trakanon on Ragefire. Dropped 1 tooth and nothing else. No BP, nothing. Way to go patch day! If SoE.. err.. DBG are anything, they are consistent at breaking shit!

    Last AMD I bought was an FX60 back when AMD used to outperform Intel (2005?). That was pretty short lived and Intel have been considerably more powerful ever since. I don't even think AMD even attempt to be the most powerful anymore. They seem to focus on budget CPUs.

    For that price, you might as well grab the 6700k for $60 more.

    Darkwind (Euro guild with some US light raidforce). We get about 100% of VP and 99% of Trak. Maybe 90-95% of outdoor dragons and planes gods when we can be bothered to kill them. Tempus (US based) are trying awful hard to compete and doing a respectable job. The rest of the server is vs...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Implementation was everything though, right? As a former warrior in EQ1, I see the idea of sharing the xp loss. Tanks would often die and the group could recover. The tank would generally be the first to die and over a period of time lose more xp than most classes. But all people remember in EQ2...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Except the gameplay of EQ2 at launch was balls. Locked encounters, shared xp (death) penalties, forgettable itemization, and the list goes on. I still think the mechanic of limiting raids to 24 people (yet there's 24 classes in game) was also terrible. You had to have enough backup tanks /...

    I was going to reply something similar. But in all honesty, unless you are trying to shave every penny off, Amazon seems to have just as competitive prices as everywhere else these days. You'd probably even come out ahead using them as a 1 stop shop with free Prime shipping. PCPartPicker will...

    IPT seems to have movies just as quickly as everywhere else. The soonest you are going to see the true 1080p rips are close to the BluRay release dates (usually leaked a few weeks prior). Movie rips are only ever as good as the source material and because of that fact, you have to wait for BR...

    That's exactly the point. VP mobs hit harder than AoW due to the MoTM buffs they got. Assuming AoW gets the same treatment offensively, I think it's going to be a bit too much!

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    You mean AoW will be impossible? Didn't he quad for 1200 as standard? There is no amount of AC or defensive that could make a tank live through 1 round of a MoTM quadding AoW.

    This. If you have all that money to pay up-front PMI (nothing but an insurance). Why not just put it towards your 20% down (principle) to get rid of PMI and wasted money altogether?

    Honestly, outside of my 401k, I have been out of the stock market in terms of liquid cash funded trading for years. This FB and GOOG purchase was literally all I have to talk about currently. Pretty great for 1 week's worth of work. My plan is to short it again and sit on the cash waiting for...

    That FB sell I made all went into GOOG yesterday (pre-earnings report). Looks like altogether I am up just over $20k in a week. Probably going to hold GOOG, as when wider market jitters wear off in the next week, it should squeeze another percent or two out of the post-earnings gains.

    Informed gambling, maybe. There was a ton of info out there a week before the earnings report. FB was a sure win, the rest of the market craziness you simply can't predict. I purchased at $96.31 per share and made it out at $108.20. I am perfectly happy with 11% / 5 figure gain in 2 days...

    Admittedly, that does seem like a shitty run of bad luck. Truth is, I have had DOA stuff from tons of manufacturers. It happens. I would still rather have the EVGA support.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't property taxes pretty much go to the county? State taxes are collected from other means (sales tax, etc)

    Facebook is my biggest "shoulda woulda coulda" story in stocks. I was sat at work with a colleague with my trade account open and about $50k cash sitting ready for investment. We were both discussing FB and this was during the time where the IPO crashed. I remember that particular day the stock...

    I was specifically after FB shares. During last week's Wednesday freakout, it dropped to ~$90 per share where I wanted in. By the time funds cleared, I got in around $96 per. Sweat bullets the last couple days with the larger market factors yo-yo'ing everything (China, Oil, Fed announcement...

    You need to be careful with those power brick style cords. Read the brick itself and read the output voltage and amps. I am guessing it is converting your wall AC 120/220V 50/60Hz into a sold DC voltage and amps. The thing to worry about is the requirements might be completely different between...

    Easiest way is DS yourself, not the PL person. Cast anything non-dmg agro (malo / shielding as suggested). The PL person literally only needs to do 1 pt of dmg on each mob. Let the DS do the rest of the work.

    Just going back a few pages on the whole cat incident where people want to use that as some kind of evidence of character in relation to the (alleged) murder charges. Just to put in perspective, it was at a drunken party when the guy was 20 years old in 1982. The guy clearly isn't the brightest...

    I definitely remember Sabine. There was an episode where she was driving a Transit Van around the Nurburgring and was passing every day drivers in Porsches and the like. Definitely showed how much driver skill is involved at that level!

    I really didn't want to upgrade, but finally gave in. My current rig (3770k, Z77 MB, 16G DDR3) started acting up. I would get short 1-2 second video freezes in game a few times a day. Then it progressed to Win10 equivalent of BSOD + reboots. The final straw was it seems like my onboard audio...

    On Wednesday's market freak out, I initiated a 6 figure bank to my ETrade account transfer. I get the notification it will take 5 days to process. By Friday, it had already come up 2.X%. You just can't win.

    Peanuts. VA has a 4% "personal property tax" every year. Each car, boat, atv, etc you own, you will pay 4% of the value per year on them. Fuck that state. (You do get a discount on your primary vehicle, but it's not the point.)

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Only thing about HS solo that stands out as dangerous is there are a crap ton of mobs that Harm Touch. I have seen upwards of 700hp HT from a single mob, so a bad pull / pet break could get ugly pretty quick. Still great risk vs reward, imo.

    The pain in the dick about Juggs is if you are truly clearing all of them from beginning to the back of Trak lair, the pulls are super long and they leash very easily. I loathe pulling Juggs for my group.
