    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I wouldn't really say that I have a core group that enjoys WoW anymore - I think the time for that is long passed. With that being said, the feedback from those I know is; 1- It's just not finished. Blizzard used to be known for polish but now there's just a lot that's outright broken. 2- The...

    There was no carry. You did your part, which is more than your average PUG will do! After a lot of honing last night, my Brel page 1 crew is finally ready (well, minus a lot of work on engravings & gems to do!): Gonna take a good month of re-stocking gold and then move onto page 2.

    Grats @Cyni on your first clown clear!

    Lost Ark Online

    A very different feeling here. I find that the clown hype is still in full swing; the game feels like it has more players trying to push their alts through clown in order to be ready for Brel (Azena is a busy server on NAE. While I'm sure a lot of that is bots, the bots wouldn't be out there if...

    Lord do I hate Amazon's changes but I can't even imagine how messed up they were for you especially. A lot of your strategy / farming got fucked hard by them / the bot situation. Talk about alienating a player who would have played their version for a long time if they had any common sense...

    Posting an update relating to guild raid schedule moving forward. This has actually been in effect for about two weeks now but wanted to make sure we were able to keep up with the cadence. Wednesday 8PM EST: We'll be running 1-2 Valtan/Vykas with the potential for a clown run. Thursday 8PM EST...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm waiting for Artist release before I start trying to pull on that cord; we're going to need more supports for Brelshaza alt runs after all! Totally agree with your point of not wanting to give Blizzard any money though, that was about the only reason I almost opted to skip out on...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think the fact that you're thinking about it is sufficient at this stage -- you'll probably be done within a week or two (or maybe you'll go the full month!) but it'll be fun to run some M+ and new expansion time is always worth the price of admission. We can even start talking @BoozeCube into...

    ROFL. Ut is completely awesome and is welcome to join us any time. His battle chant during clown kept me from raging (albeit, I did mute him after that to focus, sorry @Utnayan!). Edit: @Janx I kept Vold for Valtan - when do you want to run a normal?

    Lost Ark Online

    Event mats are so abundant that it really doesn't matter. You max out / buy everything out provided you're playing 2-3 characters within a day or two for the week. It's a lackluster vendor, which supposedly they're looking into. I do like the Halloween background and some of the skins though...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I've done minimal research (the usual websites & some Youtube videos) but it's WoW so yes, there's a fuck ton of information available and it's more about filtering it to sources you know are reliable.

    Almost assuredly. While Blizzard is decidedly a shit-tier company and modern WoW is a disaster ran by people who I'd rather not support (I don't even need to look anything up to know that the expansion will be shit, the class balance will be terrible, the design decisions will be retarded) and...

    Lost Ark Online

    Update is out which includes a new Ark Pass. I've seen some folks returning due to the continued MMO drought, don't hesitate to reach out and ask for a chat invite; the core group of players here are incredibly active (we raid twice a week and do alt runs consistently). Primarily looking for DPS...

    Lost Ark Online

    Yes -- you should have access to an event that you can pick a character for (if you want to select glaiver). It'll instantly boost you to 1370 (which is where I believe you left off) but give you small tasks to do with books and a honing buff. Just use the chat for help with the event shit...

    haha! I saw you pop'd back on the chat but you were off by the time I caught up. You started playing again?

    Glad to see you posting & back albeit still wish you would have rolled on NAE. Totally agree and I've said it so many times. If you end up having too many alts, the time commitment becomes stupid and the fun stops. Playing with a roster of characters that you actually enjoy and limiting it...

    They will. When Brelshaza is released you can expect the catch up bonus to expand to 1445. When Elgacia is released you can also expect further enhancements to a least 1475. It's never going to be worth it to push honing beyond the minimum until the catch up mechanic is released. I say this as...

    Lost Ark Online

    That's always going to be the case. Grinding and pushing ahead provides you a bit of time where you're ahead of the curve however they absolutely always will provide periodic catch up / boosts to make getting to current tier raids possible with casual effort. A 1415 is still pretty reasonably...

    I think waiting till December for 1490 and Brel is fine. I do think they're making a mistake by not releasing class balance and tripod changes in October though. I'd also like to have seen Artist come out with Summoner (we know the work for Sunmoner is already done and Artist is a pretty big...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yes. I'm going to pick up the expansion and play the first month because M+ is infinitely better than what FF offers from an actual gameplay standpoint in spite of the fact that every decision Blizzard has made for almost a decade has been terrible.

    Progression time isn't really impacted by the economy - both are incredibly cheap and, with the events that go on, take a very short period of time and is highly enjoyable. Players coming back or starting off will be able to advance their characters almost daily for the first few weeks. The...

    Both. Smilegate was retarded to not understand that the NA audience is significantly different than their core market in so far as RMT is concerned. The fact that anyone can just create a Steam account to set up a bot account (versus requiring credentials to be confirmed) makes botting...

    This patch is absolutely awesome. Thoroughly enjoyed clown and obviously Scouter is the definition of a fun and cool class. It's a shame that they broke the economy to such a miserable point and that only a few of us are left enjoying it.

    As discussed with many of you, I'll be starting to host hell mode runs Thursday's after our normal raids effective tomorrow. The idea will be to set up a permeant group interested in these types of things, including deathless achievement runs. We'll see what the turn out is tomorrow and talk...

    I'm a pretty huge fan of the series and thought that this was pretty good. There were several changes made that bothered me more than others though the race changes and added woke stuff were all meh but I did finish it wanting more.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Had to fix this. While Ion is a massive problem even if they fired him nothing would change. Blizzard has been dead for almost as long as WoW was 'good' at this point. It's never going to change.

    This isn't just a victory for me. It's a victory for anyone who has a soul and wants to enjoy life. Perfect release schedule too, going to boost it up before Bralshaza.

    Lost Ark Online

    It's certainly frustrating and I think taking a little break is always a good idea, especially since it's summer. Vykas was really rewarding yesterday in that, our 2 pugs were fun to play with. 3 of us finished our 6 piece set because of it (of course @BoozeCube got fucked by the quality and no...

    This is downright impressive and you should be studied to better understand what occurred to make you hate yourself so much. The amalgam of the collection statues with the Gunlancer alts; my lord dude!

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I gold medal'd all dungeons in Wildstar, which was a thrill to do and learn as a group, requiring pretty flawless play all around. It's okay to want a hard MMO -- there are ways to cater to this without making the game tedious as Wildstar did. Wildstar's content was purposefully aimed at a type...

    @Chimney Arcanist on Thursday with a power pass and ability to boost to 1370. You going to be playing one? The rotation is absolutely insane to get good at, so I suspect you'll enjoy it quite a bit. I'm still torn on whether I'll use it on that or a Destroyer. Next class release is going to be...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Pretty much this. As someone who played with a static, Wildstar remains a highlight for me from an MMO perspective. Engineer remains one of the more 'fun' classes to play from a tanking perspective for me. While Datascape was amazing, I do think they wasted a tremendous amount of resources on it...
