    What really helped me out is watching some of the streamers race. You watch a couple of races and you get the gist of where to go and how fast, etc... I think kitava is what now 3-4 hours?

    I think they are the same socket from what I hear, so you could always upgrade to 3000 series later. I would just get a better mo-bo so you can flash it later and work with the 3000 series. So dont scrimp on the mo bo and get a better one.

    Photo scanning?

    Legacy box is one of them, about a $1+ per picture. They have a 500 photo pack for $550ish. One of the more expensive ones. Memory Fortress is another, cheaper, $99 min order but its like $.35 per picture for 600DPI, just send them a box of loose picts (up to 8x10 but they can do even poster...

    Grim Dawn

    Sale? It was $15 to begin with LOL. If anything its small little dev houses making awesome games like this that deserve every penny they can get, IMO.

    And thats fine, this is why we have multiple games, not just one. If you like action type combat, go play action type game XXX, if you like the old school target lock combat, go play game YYY. The whole thing boils down to will a game based on old school target lock, slower paced combat...

    There can be a nice mix of RPG and twitch based combat, take for example a game like Destiny or Division. Both of those games rely heavily on RPG systems ( RPG light) to gear and level up your character over time and yet the combat is entirely twitch based. Way more so than any mmorpg. I played...

    Now imagine having 2 fucking 6' 2" teenage monsters that devour food at an alarming pace. Im up to $200-$250 per week for grocery bill and still have to pick up shit at the end of the week.

    Button mashing every 1/2 second gets on nerves. But then auto attack gets boring too. But I do think that EQ had jsut the right mix, maybe a little more button mashing would of been cool, but you had your normal boring efficient pulls, but then every once in a while you always had that oh shit...

    So why even introduce it on a Lv1 boss then? Why not remove it and put it in the general 80+ pool and add rarity?

    Path of Exile

    Yeah but how hard is it to get? Is it like 1:500? I figure if they are buffing and reworking melee it might be a good investment of time to get one to try some bulids next league.

    If you liked cyber power pc, why not just go with them again? They sponsor a lot of streamers and I hear good things all in all (or maybe the lack of bad things really). Still I would prefer to build my own.

    Let see how popular the new World of Warcraft prog servers are. This will be really interesting to see if they end up being popular. Granted, its WoW and not EQ, but still WoW circa 2004 is like night and day from the WoW we have today. I have a feeling they will make a killing.

    12/24 core @5ghz turbo and for $350? Yeah, they will make a killing if its anything even remotely better than their 2000 series per core performance. Not to mention their even cheaper 8/16 and 6/12 which will make some awesome cheap gaming builds. Those 8/16 look sexy as hell too for $200-$220

    And lets not even get started on the items, the bases and the affixes, suffixes and hybrid shit which all takes forever to learn too. How many noobs sold a 1-5EX piece because they did not know it was god tier item? :raises hand: At least they added the little thingie that shows you your tier...

    YOur CPU is really outdated and pretty much will be a bottleneck for any modern video card. I would suggest piecing together a new system, we can help here if you need. And watch a few vids on how to build one, its not that hard. You will save moneys and get the best bang for your buck. Here is...

    This game has way worse things going wrong for it from a new/casual player perspective. It took me like 2-3 leagues to even learn basic shit about this game and not to brick a character and this included watching streamers and shit which I know most people dont do. This game is way to complex...

    I agree with the entire clear speed bullshit this game turned into. I have not played in a few leagues now but watching some streams here and there and yeah, its pretty bad. Playing some games like Grim Dawn and the new Epoch it was a nice change of pace and shows you how nice these games play a...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I dont think its out of the realm of possibility. And also I dont think they built rock structures either, but they could of shared some basic engineering knowledge and the like. Maybe the used early human mongoloids as slaves to do some mining or some type of harvesting work for them and the...

    Yeah I gotta say I tried to explore in wow but there was just no point. If it wasnt part of the theme park ride, it just was not important. Besides the entire point of mmorpgs at that point was to rush through leveling as fast as possible and RAIIIID. Which is an entirely different discussion...

    My first run, the other way around, I ddi at like lv 15 or some shit. I heard all this talk about some tunnel that everyone gathered in and bought and sold shit. It took me an entire night. I had all my EQMaps laid out and shit. I planned it all out at work that day. This was before I knew about...

    Yeah dude, dont go cheap. Buy some good shit that will not only work better but last you longer. If you go with a 2070, that shit will be good to go for years, especially at 1080p and even if you decide to upgrade to 1440p somewhere down the line it will handle it. I used to be a proponent of...

    Sahdowbane was the only "political" game I played and yeah, how that worked out? One guild usually got power, through sheer numbers of course, built their keep with overwhelming gold because, again, numbers. Then they lorded over the entire server, all that ever happened "politically" was people...

    Last Epoch

    Having played this for approx 8ish hours so far, I don't see how this even remotely resembles poe. Character prog is different. Skill prog is different... Maybe it's because it's an arpg? That being said, I do agree about the map resets. Also their passive reset system is too punishing imo...

    Nahh its jusut some lore I read about it. Its like one of, if not the oldest alcohol drink that man ever made. But nevertheless ther is probably something to it depending on the flowers the bees were feasting on. Honey is some strange shit, bro.

    There is gonna be purists of all sorts bitching about the decisions you make in your game. But its really up to you to design something that makes sense as a game dev. For instance the purists that always bitched at the POK books, while I thought they were a great addition to the game at the...
