    Virtual Reality

    The SDE isn't the problem for me. It's there if you look for it, but even if there was perfect pixel fill the resolution would still be too low. And if the 'screen' was finer but still noticeable it'd be fine. Your brain would hide it anyway. You can barely get a sense of the impact of...

    Virtual Reality

    Got my CV1, tried out a bunch of stuff. Set up Skyrim via VorpX and played it a bit. Everything seems great but the resolution is just too low for me. It's a big improvement over DK2 in terms of pixel fill and the SDE, but there's no crispness to display and that low fidelity ruins it for me...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    I liked #1, but thought #2 lost its way. Thor is poorly equipped to handle betrayal, so betraying him doesn't make for a very good movie. I look forward to this though.

    Yeah I'm not sure exactly how bad GvG will be for casual players. The change on June 1st is going to widen the gap dramatically. Right now the gap between a semi-casual and hardcore isn't that bad. A semi-casual player should be level 53 with 280 gear score if they started on release. A hardcore...

    Yeah I figured. I haven't heard of that being tolerated in any US guilds but I wouldn't be surprised..

    Araysar, you owe IRB a gift basket for Christmas. He paid the penalty for your avatar bet sins.

    I have to imagine that all high end guilds are in roughly the same position: trying to get top end gear for their players. If they have people running AH bots sniping it to destroy, they hurt their players at a great cost. I can, however, imagine some guilds are proliferating AH bots within...

    Problem with every mmorpg

    At 55 it ranges from 1 to 4% an hour. Not sure what it's at level 56.

    The AH bots really hurt this game. It's hard for classes that don't do well vs bosses (ex: Melee) to get liverto weapons, and when they can't buy them it's a real progression block. The game is supposed to be wealth and market driven, but players who don't use AH cheats can't participate in high...

    Unlikely, Hodj was demodded 100% because he kept unbanning Heckler.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I dunno what the standard view is, but after careful thought I think quantum physics is a prank physicists are playing on us. I can just see Einstein in a dark, smoke filled room speaking to Schrodinger. "Yeah, we're going to go even further. We'll call it 'quantum entanglement'. I even have...

    Check the original post of this thread if you're on Edan and want to play with us. We're more focused on hardcore gameplay but we do have a casual guild for people.

    He's right in both instances. It's how I feel too.

    The Free Will Thread

    Yes, I believe it exists. I disagree. If someone's actions are destined by their physical state and environment rather than some higher-plane of existence that determines free will there should be no change in consequence or accountability. It just means that the judgement, punishment and...

    Black Desert

    Not looking forward to +20. PRX has a ton of well geared players and even though +15 in everything is pretty easy to get, the difference between guilds like ours and less hardcore ones is massive. +20 is going to widen that gap dramatically and make it much harder for new players to get up to speed.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I would just expect that we would build some kind of super heated tunnel to pipe the lava somewhere. It's fascinating to me that we haven't been able to penetrate the earth's crust to any meaningful degree. I'd love to hear what a geologist engineer (or whatever) has to say about the viability...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Anyone else think it would have been better if Sansa wrote the letter to Jon Snow from Ramsay Bolton? When she grabbed it I thought she did until she said that they had Rickon and that the Roose was Noosed.

    ^^ Everyone in the main PRX guild is 290 ADP or higher. It'll be 300 in a week or so, and June 1st is our 56+ requirement. We regularly have coordinated skirmishes with other guilds and the guilds who don't have very geared players are completely rolled over. It wouldn't be so bad if they...

    Play a ranger, wizard or witch. Don't base your opinion on what the game is like from playing a handful of level 20 characters.

    There is only the grind. ThePRX has a level 56 requirement come June 1st and most folks are happy to get 2% XP an hour at level 55 as a well geared player with uninterrupted leveling with full XP scrolls on. XRP isn't as hardcore but still has a lot of progression being made. People are...

    I wonder what the specific terms of their licensing deal is with BANDAI. I don't know these guys so I could be 100% off base, but it'd crack me up if BANDAI knew this would be hugely successful and created a ghost company to make a kick starter.

    BTW: If you measure the speed of evolution by how quickly DNA changes, is it true that humans are evolving faster than we did 8000 years ago?

    I know this is tangential to your dumb ass event goers, but I for one am super excited about how quickly humans can evolve when genetic therapy comes into play.

    Our home channel (Valenica E1) has been a toaster for the last few weeks but has gotten unplayable in the last week. So we switched to Calpheon E2 last night. Just finished up a massive 4 hour war against a bunch of enemy guilds, was a ton of fun. Going to be a long slog to conquer the channel.
