Yeah maybe, I'm not convinced that SC is a true MMO though. They've said a lot of MMO type features but it's impossible to min/max properly until the game goes into beta and you have a closer idea to the truth.

I'm kind of hoping bitcoin catches on more to pressure credit card companies to lower prices. It's got a long way to go before it's convenient enough to use though.

I think I've decided on Reaper for my build.

Are you saying that the 4% fee is from the credit card or the rewards portion of the credit card?

Yeah I did the same thing. After a few payments where I was paying interest on the debt I just got sick of it and paid it all off. I don't want to belabor the point, but personally I enjoy starting games fresh and working my way up. Do you think you wouldn't enjoy starting at zero and...

I always wanted the big show to be the mountain in GoT.

How much savings do you have, not including ira/401k accounts? Do you feel like spending $7000 on an unreleased video game will improve your enjoyment of the game when it comes out? Or do you feel like you want to play the game so badly but you can't yet and the closest thing to playing it is...

Haha sorry, I meant the 115 women's TUF. Overeem and Rothwell should be a slobber knocker.

Based on this data I imagine it'll be similar to 135.

Maybe I'm ignorant but is Rock really the perfect actor for a dark character?

I think you're really misinterpretting what kind of movie they're making here

You really can't give up yet, Rime.

Is Thor just back-hammering a goblin in the air?

Haha that's fucked. I like that you can slowly grind and grind to get BiS gear, but it sucks that it's enabled by spending $.

Reasons I wouldn't resub in that circumstance: 1. I've already done it, I'm onto new things. 5% of the games I enjoy I'll play more than once. 2. I'd never enjoy PvP without PRX. 3. Old MMO communities are usually terrible. They're full of max level people who are bad. 4. Old MMO games are...

I know you're mostly bullshitting me, but have you never met groups of people who have money and proudly display how much money they have, and have a career where the amount of money they show is a strong determinant in how much money they can continue to make?

Yeah that shit blows my mind. Most of the people I know who talk to me about, "Oh yeah I'm going to get that next Friday when my paycheck comes in and I can afford it." or say, "Things are tight right now, I won't be able to pay for <some necessary item>" I just want to sit down with them and go...

It's like what we talked about before. If you're selling widgets to a small business they want to believe your profit margins are razor thin and they're getting stuff as close to at cost as possible. If you're selling real estate to someone looking for an investment they want to believe they can...

Obviously not all salesmen are the same. I should have qualified my statement but I don't care, everyone knows what I'm talking about.

What you say is true, but very few schools can guarantee internships. Getting an CS internship can be very difficult if you don't have something to stand out (contacts, being female, stellar grades etc). The easiest way to stand out for a lot of people is to have a personal project you work on...

Honestly Resco, the claim that cities are not phased and are still busy is just another time you've put out false statements that you should've known were false. There's just too many times you've put out unsubstantiated bullshit that was untrue in defense of ESO you've lost too much credibility...

#1 thing you can do is build a personal project that is fun, appears technically demanding and easily presentable and understandable. It doesn't have to be profitable or anything anyone would want, just something you're passionate enough to do in the ~6 months you have. If you want ideas list...

Yeah maybe. I think the vision for Star Citizen is going to be very instanced and multiplayer optional though. Honestly I'd love if they redid Eve with a better combat system and engine. I always wanted to play it but can't stand games that have combat I don't enjoy.

As in each improvement to quality increases the value by some ~5-10%: ArcheAge Database - Equipment But what's the cost to improve your gear? It seems very high given that after ancient you can destroy your item. Note: I'm not an expert on this, so I could be totally wrong and the stuff...

No. I'm sure a lot of Eve players will play it, but it's very different from Eve. Eve has one of the best implementations of a living breathing galaxy, Star Citizen is focusing on smaller gameplay with instancing, combat, roleplaying and spending your paycheck on ships.

I'm pretty confident you're wrong about that, do you have any evidence that the cities aren't phased? As far as I know the only zone that isn't phased is Cyrodiil, but it's instanced and I have reason to believe they change the population thresholds dynamically.

I also bought in for selfish reasons. I knew it'd be big and I wanted to buy in asap so I could say I was into SC before it was cool. In truth I bought in a long time ago because I really really really wanted another space combat sim.

From what I've seen if you're solo or in a small group of people you're pretty much fucked on a lot of aspects in this game anyway.

What do you mean by them not phasing the social hubs?

Yep. It seems like gear hits a logarithmic soft cap really quickly. Based on the numbers I've seen after 100+ /played we're talking hundreds of dollars to get a 15% edge, right?

mouse wheels are usually the first to go, then left clicks.

It's like a $300 pre-order for the GearVR case, which seems like a huge ripoff considering the mobile device itself is some $800.

Vitality, looking at your 1-10 guide, isn't going after foxes at release kind of impossible? Or is the guide intended to be used a couple weeks after release? Also I hit level 8 and had 15 gildas at the same time you hit level 8 from foxes, and that's using a path that would work with...

Am I the only one that looks at the benefits of the pay to win stuff and feel like nothing I've seen is going to stop me from being competitive with people dumping money on bullshit? I just don't care if someone hits 50k crafting in a couple days, or gets better gear cause they spend $$ to get it.

Yeah small business owners are probably on the other end of the spectrum. They know their cost to earning ratio is what grows their business (among other things), where as a salesman feels he needs to increase his display of spending to make more sales.

From what I hear the people with real problems are those who feel obligated to spend a lot of money, ex: salesmen who feel they don't have credibility if they don't have an expensive clothes, watch, car and house.

I don't go out often because I'm a lazy introvert, but when I do I usually pay for my friends who aren't making a lot of money currently. I don't really think much of it, I figure they'd do the same for me. But if I went out 3+ times a week I'd probably start to resent it.

Plus I enjoy my job a lot. Figuring out problems, driving robots around, creating algorithms, writing code etc is a lot more fun than most of the other things I do.

People like that are annoying. If I asked my brother to pick me up cereal at the store I'd give him a $20 and tell him to buy us some beer too and whatever else he wanted.

Expecting it to launch smoothly and balanced is one thing. The community seeing huge design flaws a year before release, reporting them over and over and finally being told to stop reporting it, and then seeing those same flaws cripple a game is a totally different thing. ESO was, from a design...
