    Yup. In the case of Cyrodiil I'd say just throw a bunch of high value resource nodes next to each keep, or if you want immersion build a mine under some keeps, or a dense forest by others. Personally I'd want to be able to buy NPCs to mine that shit and let the PCs do the fighting and...

    Yeah this is a very good example of ZOS looking at a general desire by gamers to have meaning behind holding a keep in a PVP zone beyond just a generic banner and control of its defense. They look at this desire and address it with a misguided idea. "People like AH, and people want keeps to be...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    The graphics in the show are cool, but I wish they'd slow down with the complex ideas and spend more time explaining it. Really I think they overexplain the ideas in the first place. We don't need all that detail to enjoy the cartoons.

    Haha. The worst is taking a vacation to play a game only to have the server be down for the entire first day. That's how WoW was.

    It's tough to say what kind of server problems we'll experience on launch day. I have very low hopes.

    Haha I wouldn't mind doing that, but I doubt people would pay enough for the hassle to be worth it.

    We're still going AD. From our research the other big PVP groups aren't going AD and that's usually the most important thing. I have no idea how the campaigns will play out but I feel like if we dominate our area and the guesting system works we'll probably spend a lot of time guesting to other...

    The release GW2 queues were hilarious. At one point at release would be literally 10 people from each faction allowed in WvW. This was in the last beta where queues were working more or less properly. I remember in release you'd see lines of 50+ people at each portal. The other problem with...

    No, it's evidence of a failed implementation. The megaserver is designed to be elastic enough to support anywhere from 1000 to literally billions of players. It's just a matter of whether the core systems that drive that are capable of handling the load. They've found that's not the case in the...

    the simcity subreddit was the only place with decent simcity discussion and it was interesting watching the hype fall apart. People that played it hardcore like we did found out within a few days that the entire thing was a charade, and the response to that sentiment in the subreddit was violent.

    Sub Reddits usually drink the kool aid of the subject of their own subreddit more than any other group. The system is designed to gravitate toward approval of the subject matter. If you enter a forum like this and say, "TESO sucks because XYZ" all the pro TESO people will respond with arguments...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Because a 20 minute anime episode can cover a month's worth of manga. If they didn't use filler they'd catch up to the manga faster than Game of Thrones catching up to ASOIAF!! You're not missing much by reading the manga or just watching the show, but the benefit of reading the manga is you...

    Queues for release make total sense and I expect queues to exist. I have no idea why an overflow makes sense with a megaserver, but I guess I don't understand the relationship between the phases and the megaserver. My perception of the megaserver is that there's a central database being...

    This is actually pretty common, especially with people who are long time testers. This was the last bad decision straw for a lot people.

    You haven't been in the PTS for a long time, have you? Most of the major problems with TESO have been present for over a year since a lot of people started playing on the PTS. They consistently reported those problems only to be brushed aside like in mrmoneda's quote. The UI was actually...

    I don't want to start an epeen contest, but I spent most of my time in WoW on raid healing duty (as opposed to tank healing duty where sometimes you heal exactly one person in an encounter...) as a priest and if you're just starting at bars playing whack-a-mole you're not hitting the skillcap...

    Nah it shows everyone in your raid. It's highly configurable. I don't have any screenshots of it fully populated but here's the first one I found online: As you can tell, my customization is smaller than that.

    All right fellow chubbros, it's time for my fat ass to lose some weight. I need to get a sense of how much and what I am driving into my gullet. What's the best food tracking website? Last time I used fitday and it was okay, but that was years ago.

    the raid health mod I used is called Grid, you can see it there where Iro, Nel, Pro is. It can easily fit 40 people there without cluttering the UI.

    You'd have to be pretty bad to have a UI like that. Here's mine as a healer: For those who aren't familiar, the raid health mod I used is called Grid, you can see it there where Iro, Nel, Pro is. It can easily fit 40 people there without cluttering the UI.

    The macro thing is a red herring. Third party macros to automatically respond to notifications aren't that common for high level PVP in these games. People would rather have a big thing pop up and have them make the choice to press the button. It's just a red herring / smokescreen to get...
