Ya, I forget what year it was, but I got into the closed beta/alpha patch where they had literally just added Forsaken as a race to the game. There was still no mailboxes or auction house from what I recall - people who played FFXI were asking they add that and it was in the next major update...

If they are smart, they'll show that it's power that corrupts and humans in general are just shitbags when they get a taste of it

There was literally a Nurse Rachet TV show recently, so it isn't forgotten. The Shinning just has more recognition by the current generation because it has been used a lot more in popular culture and memes and even a sequel (Doctor Sleep).

Yes, that is somewhat of a head scratcher. I do understand they want to make them more comfortable and with a better range of motion, but that price tag just smacks of markup.

Right, the most enjoyable streamers are the ones that interact or entertain while playing.

Early on they refused to tell players what stats did, so there was a lot of misinformation. A monk in my guild used to do parsing with all manner of gear to figure out if dex or agi boosted DPS at all. Pretty sure EQ had avoidance and mitigation AC, though. The monk weight bonus was...

This is a big thing in esports. It exists to a degree in pro-sports, but only when you have a really dominant player (like a Tom Brady or Lebron James). But in esports, it is far far more magnified. Like how Navi in DOTA was popular when it had Dendi, Puppy, Kuroky. Then they all go...

WoW wasn't carebear EQ - it was a less shitty EQ, which is why the vast majority of us abandoned EQ for WoW. "Carebear" was just a term to mask insecurity about continuing to play a shit game

Bucky not becoming the Winter Soldier, and having the Tesseract in their possession much earlier, would probably be the biggest changes to the overall timeline when you get right down to it.

I liked it. Presented a reasonably plausible alternate timeline based on Carter getting the serum. She probably knew they won the war because if Nazi Germany had won, Fury would not be speaking with her and certainly not in English lol

Sombra had a line for years where she says Jesse Mccree isn’t his real name, so they have an out if they felt the need (I doubt they would unless it was something serious)

He was on those Cosby suite texts if I recall

OW was fun, but the problem is OW2 is siphoning off content like a parasite, preventing any big changes and stagnating the game. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jeff had to leave because Activision wanted another call of duty “same shit for $60”, he pushed back, it took too long, and now they are...

It’s still alpha, so can give a pass for now, but the combat animations are pretty garbo

Enchanter in our guild charmed a fire giant, then had a shaman shrink it, then he made it invis and brought it to SolB entrance and then left. There were so many corpses

Yup, SB and ShB jobs don’t require MSQ, just the levels. HW is the only MSQ locked jobs

Yup any combat class to 50, then unlock red mage in Uldah and red mage starts at level 50

Innovative? That is literally the oldest means of generating power in existence lol

Ya legacy loot was awesome. We had vox res sticks we kept recharging using the merchant vendor trick. Made it easy for monks to pull cleric corpses to safe spots then res them and have them log out to red the other corpses we would drag

Mistmore pathing was legendarily bad. Kedge Keep had wonky pathing, but you could exploit it to solo pull Phingel easy. I also loved the nova fish - one time I taunted a couple and swam by a group that was being a spawn stealer not respecting our camp so their own AOE would kill the fish and...

People spent time in groups in EQ1 because it was insanely hard to solo and even leveling was a slow process. Then because combat was boring and brain dead, people chatted to stop going insane. Wanting people to fill in the blanks to shore up shit game design isn’t good game design

Card system needs to be simplified maybe. I think the idea is sound - pick increasing number of talents to enhance your character. Some are almost must haves, like the one that turns your bash into a melee stab that 1 shots regular zombies

Sure, you need to interact to get best gear. That isn’t being argued. But the sole focus being +gooderer items isn’t what gets you a good community in a game, because other people are a means to an end in that situation

You’re conflating progression/loot acquisition with mmo community, though. That is the fatal error WoW made: the EQ1 mindset of “raid or get phat loot = only thing to do”. FF14 actually does a much better job of offering alternatives.

Vanilla WoW was just EQ1 2.0 - Vanilla WoW, while popular, was always going to be a time limited thing. Nostalgia wears off really fast. I doubt they will do WoW: An Azeroth Reborn either. Their engine, while old, isn't the main issue. It's the design elements as of late using that engine...

At this stage in his life, an easy paycheck is a no brainer. Even if he starts to command less over time, gives him a nice money bump before any inevitable retirement.

It won't be in France. No clue what crap they'll try to replace it with.

When the USSR collapsed not long afterwards, so the funding wasn't there any longer

It is rotting in an abandoned facility as well

Death touch was such a lazy mechanic, especially with XP loss and no way to mitigate it. All it did is force you to bring a shitload of tanks/people that could snap aggro to eat the DT and then you moved along.

We used to put Tunare whips on Daine to fuck with other guilds that were trying to beat that boss lol

His team has mentioned it was one of the few "safe" spots at Blizzard and no one has said anything. The only "damning" thing anyone has said about him is "he knew Alex!!!" and the EQ1 shared history. He would have been tossed on the sacrificial bonfire long ago if something was up. I strongly...

That hurt the Avengers game in part as well I suspect. You spend a decade watching the films, then they introduce something that while it originated in comics, you're used to the films, and everyone looks like "Great Value" versions of that mental image.

I just got so fucking bored of raiding. EQ1 with its endless trash clears, which became even more boring when I wasn't even doing the pulls anymore. Then a brain dead gear check bosses. 15+ hour raid marathons because of bullshit design in some spots. Then WoW came out and gave it a go...

This. Kumite can be more about control and precision at the competition level. Like if you do a forceful precise punch or kick, and stop before actual contact, that is scored as better than someone who makes full contact. It's much harder to go to hit someone, then be able to stop just short...

Hence 'Y: The Last Man". If you transitioned, you still die because you didn't change your genetics.

It keeps you out of the hospital/off a ventilator

I never bothered with Eureka, but my understanding was doing challenge log til around 15, then joining notorious monster trains.

So no one that matters, got it
