    League Of Legends

    that said, I think we can all agree its largely a patch, on what is not the most perfect design/solution. Ideally, a jungle would be an option, not a requirement. and as you say, that jungle should not have total that kindof power when he is there.

    haha yeah. And its funny, every time I look at one of the EQ nostalgia people, like Quaid is doing in the "imploding" thread. "ZOMG EQ used to be challenging, and just dropped you out in the world, without knowing what to do, or where to go. it was so great!" no. no it really isnt. Do...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    wherein lies the problem. in one breath you suggest smaller studios should make these games. but then refuse to even look at anything that is not AAAAAAAA mmo with a shit ton of publisher backing. (of course many of those games also have other glaring problems. Par for course, much of those...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    tons of indie mmos? Darkfalls and the like? are you just pretending these games don't exist, while ASKING for these games to exist and how you would love to see them get made? Also, go look at the GW2 development through betas. it started without hearts, or vistas/etc. And when players...

    League Of Legends

    Morgana. who also "ignores CC", bullies lanes, out farms, deals more damage. Aoe slows without rylais. and an ult that does significantly more damage over a much much shorter period of time. 3seconds in her ult will deal more damage then 10seconds in his. And abilities can be compared. Yes...

    League Of Legends

    what can he do Morg doesnt do better? Or anivia? Swains vamp is on his ult. Morgs is on everything. His aoe root is ok. but the damage vs cooldown and its delay is questionable. a 1second delay with 2 second root. 240 damage scaling at .7ap. 125 radius. 900 range 18-10s cd...

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    did you actually even read it? "For fourth-quarter 2012, U.S. revenues were $5.8 billion, a decrease of 9% compared with the year-ago quarter.This decrease was primarily the result of the loss of exclusivity of Lipitor in November 2011 and Geodon in March 2012.International revenues were $9.3...

    Business Ethics - Companies that you refuse to do business with

    I know a number of chemists at Pfizer. They are get hit hard by generics. Every time a patent runs out, they get hammered. Spend billions on R&D. have your drugs copied and you get undercut. there is a reason generics are much cheaper. Zero overhead on research, or clinical trials, and...

    Robocop - Remake

    not a fan of what I see. however, the pg12 vs R is not a big deal, imho. ratings have progressed. Robocops original R would be pg-13 by todays standards. culture of violence and all.

    well. I am with Tuco. I can't think of any brand I boycott on ethics. there are brands I avoid because I have been dissatisfied with quality. Hewlett Packard, many car brands(never a Chrysler, Ford,etc,) I'll avoid Apple like the plague. I'll avoid some brands due to cost. Sony...

    League Of Legends

    I suppose you could argue that is sortof similar to my problem with a competitive game like LoL. I basically refuse to play Ranked, because I am too competitive. The compulsion to win and rank up, interferes with other games, and even work, etc. So I basically don't play it at all. So I...

    Strife - 2nd gen MOBA

    there are a few champ specific ways. Alistar heals, Anivia wall are obvious ways to mess with creep waves. Another way to build a larger wall is to run past your creep wave. draw aggro from the opposing wave, run to the side. The creeps will follow you, delaying their fighting. You can...

    Strife - 2nd gen MOBA

    not really an engine limitation. More like... feature. An emergent tactic from an rarely used feature. Akin to rocket jumping or z strafing in Quake. An oddity of the physics engine, that was very useful. and even fun. None of which are very intuitive. Rocket jumping I will defend...

    Strife - 2nd gen MOBA

    In LoL before the addition of gold/5. And re-balacing of gold/exp on kills, there was an amount of bitching on KS and supports killing minions. LoL solved this in a few ways. First, already mentioned. Assists yield so much more for the team, that crying about not getting the kill is kindof...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    ps. my pc sales figures were out of date. d3 has sold 12 million copies on pc. Yeah. Thinking d3 is only going to get 1m in console sales. Massive wishful thinking. That pos will probably break 5million. FFS sites are giving it 9/10's and shit.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    what are you trying to say with D3? it sold 9million fucking copies on pc, made billions in the RMAH, despite peoples "rejections", and is now going to sell another 5 million Console copies. Where the hell are you getting Rift underperformed as well. it stayed sub fee for 2 or 3?YEARS, in...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    that is an interesting question. Anyone that was in beta or alpha have any idea? was high level cut off? we can look at RvR and its 2 week rotation claims. And when it went live sat at daily for what 3 months? And ended up at 1 week intervals.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    who knows. Rift dialed back and nerfed their Rift events due to noobs crying about towns getting overrun apparently. Incredibly lame. Rift's rifts had a chance to be game changing really. GW2 talked a big game about PQ events being these massive chains with multiple "paths" they could...

    I didn't even know about the later books with Weta. The original coloring/3D was "snakebite". he sticks by that pseudonym heavily. Uses it for his animation, tattoo, etc as well. Although early comic work I think was his real name. He is super proud of The Red Star. And it did get alot...
