    Poll Who here hates raiding?

    Well? And why is that? Its because you can join when you want at your time, not someone elses. Its the best of both worlds. You can join some LFR at 11:35PM when your old lady and kids are down for the snooze. Most WoW shit from what I remember was at 7:00PM sharp Sunday, Tueday, Thurdsday, or...

    EQ Classic? Not really.

    To tell you the truth, this along with P99 really do not excite me one bit. Old school is one thing, but these are different times. I dont want to sit staring at a spell book for 5 min before killing another mob, I dont want to kill placeholders for 4 hours until the one mob I want finally pops...

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

    It was a grouping game at its core, and i bet that like 80% of those that played it never raided it hardcore at least. They kept on adding more and more raid shit as time went on but It was a group game at its core and the content it offered up was catered to mostly group content.

    It was over when they removed all the farmable brown (orange?)gear from all the world bosses and put them into the pay to play shop. RIP

    Fucking wow ruined it all. Yeah people liked it and played it but it was shit. And they made it even more easy mode as time went on. And then we got 100 McWow clones which all fucking failed miserably. Man just playing EQ again on emu servers it was a different type of game, dangerous...

    Thats the thing about casters, its all about their spells and gear makes their mana pool bigger, gear is what makes melee DPS better.

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    All mobs have their HP halved and some of the shitty effects were taken out. Its definitely easier than live but still challenging to break certain camps, deal with adds and shit. Definitely better to two box. Its still manageable, like a SK and Cleric ive been running last two days. The cleric...

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    @Control Should really up the exp rate for AAs. I got a necro to high 50s and tried to grind a few AAs and its slow as fuck compared to regular EXP it seems. There is no way I would want to grind 2-3 hundred AA at that rate let alone a thousand or two. I would also add a few more ports...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I thnk it all starts with a heavy dose of chemical dependence, then this turns into "Ok I can get along with this person full time". Then later over many years and offspring it morphs into something deeper, more hard to explain.

    Charcoal smoke meats

    Meh, you dont need a $2K grill in order to do what the egg does. My $300 komodo does everything just as well. Maybe it wont last 30 yrs, but do I really need it to? Even if it fails in 10, I can go buy a new one, probably better, for $300 more and still be ahead. Thats just my opinion. I have...

    The number one thing that detracted from it was the rubberbanding and SB.exe errors every 5 minutes.

    I grill all the time in the winter. Of course temp varies quite a bit here in the winter, but about as cold I got was in the 25F-30F? range and it was fine but this is on my gas grill. I never tried shit like smoking or indirect heating though, usually slap on some steaks or chicken breasts and...

    Im sure they will get better but this will always be a problem. But again not for the majority of people that drive less than 50 miles per day which is the majority of peeps.

    I have not seen one yet other than the Nissan leaf one we have here at work. But im sure they will come. Also, do you have to pay for the charge at one of those? Im assuming you do, right?

    Autonomous Systems

    Sure, eventually. Im sure the tech will get better as well. Better cells, better charging solutions too. Im just talking near future, for the early ecar adopters. Also, could our current infrastructure even handle the new found load of powering 200 million vehicles along with what its already...

    Autonomous Systems

    that is if we have those super charging stations wherever. If not, youre stuck for 6-8 hours at todays tech level. So this could tack some serious time to your commute to grandmas which maybe took 5-6 hours before, now youre taking 2 days to get there.

    Autonomous Systems

    So yeah, for a regular day to ay driver this is more than adequate. Average commute is 50 miles or less, charge overnight and good to go. A peson like me with a 10 mile commute each way could go for a few weks on one charge. Again the problem arises what happens during that family trip to see...

    Im assuming they would have to in order to stay in business. Plus there will always be legacy shops around to handle analog cars for collectors and shit and those refusing to switch for a time. Plus im assuming those autonomous vehicles would still need regular mechanical maintenance as well...

    Autonomous Systems

    Range is already there, anything at like 200- 300 miles per charge is already at the sweet spot range. But then what do you do for that extended trip for say 400 or 600 miles? Also problem is issues with cold and decreasing battery life.

    Autonomous Systems

    Shit has been getting more technical as time goes on. The training and education gap is huge from a 1960s or 70s car vs todays electronic/computer controlled beasts. I assume it will only get worse to maintain and service an electric vehicle. I know those battery packs need to be replaced from...

    Yep, and Brad and Co are delusional to think that this will not happen to their game if they just "add more content". In fact, the more content they add, the more content will be camped 24/7. Of course this all hinges on whether this game is popular or not, but make no mistake, even if its a...
