When GW2 launched they had 270 employees. That's about where they are now after the layoffs. It sounds like NCsoft wants them to focus on GW2 and not the "unannounced projects". So all these pronouncements of doom and gloom are a bit premature. It does suck for the people let go though.

Aye, GW2 isn't going away. It still makes a bunch of money for Ncsoft and is one of the big 4 in terms of popularity (with FFXIV, ESO and WoW). They just were not making enough dollars to justify the 400 plus employees they had. Apparently most of the layoffs were for unannounced projects...

Anet is a subsidiary of Ncsoft. I fixed the label in the previous post.

Last Quarter for NCSOFT. Mobile is KILLING it. (edit: had this mislabeled as ANET).

It isn't good. But GW2 is one of the few decent AAA mmos around and is still popular, unlike Wildstar. So they won't be closing shop. But expect a lot more store options and less content. Like Cynical said, NCSoft doesn't have time for underperformers and is ruthless about it. I suspect that...

WvW is getting a mount. Warclaw

Heheh. You are dealing with some seriously damaged people here. Expecting them to self reflect on their obsession with Brad is expecting the impossible. Just laugh at their key stone cops idiocy. It isn't going to change. The falling gifs are fun though, so they aren't totally useless.

Thinking about getting back into this. To anyone on Gilgamesh, is it still packed? With Queues? Thought there was an exodus off that server a while back.

Did the pirate thing when I was young and broke. But I hated having to do that, and really didn't like the "karma" (overused but correct). As soon as my income jumped I went back a bought all the stuff I originally lifted. It wasn't cheap. Games weren't too bad but Photoshop and 3d Studio...

Each game mode (PvE, PvP and WvW) has it's own legendary armor. Different skins, same stats. WvW legendary armor only requires that you play WvW (a lot) and a bunch of mats that can be bought / crafted or picked up from WvW tracks. No need to raid or do dungeons. PvE legendary requires...

If you play WvW then look into Legendary Armor. It's a hella grind, but doable. Start with the Triumphant Armor track (exotic). Each piece you unlock allows you to buy an ascended piece (same slot), and you can choose the stats. The ascended piece is used to make the Legendary piece once you...

Agree with most of that. The main thing Activision wants is the yearly releases for DLC's etc. That kind of schedule is very tough on creators trying to make quality decisions. And with modern graphics it's and incredible amount of work. Plus the microtransaction thing is most certainly a big...

HoT ended up being the go to for map event farming, along with Silverwastes. PoF has the bounty run trains I think. For now, I generally only WvW if I'm playing so don't know all the PvE favorites atm. GW2 is a casual game, pretty face roll in general PvE. It's raiding and fractals that get the...

Yeah, they can definitely fix things. People are still invested in their toons, even if they aren't playing WoW atm. It's really a matter of time. The longer they take to fix things, the less people will care about coming back. And they still have tons of players subbed that don't seem to be...

People not wanting to lose their investment is a huge reason mmo's keep going like the energizer bunny. WoW has millions of people invested in their toons. It takes a serious fuck up to lose those players. BFA is definitely that fuck up. Will be interesting to see what they do to get those...

Tried water cooling first on this system but it wasn't as quiet as I was expecting. Sent it back and got the Noctuas. Damn fine fans. Never had a problem with them and very quiet. Cool colors would be nice, got the ugly browns. Next system.

OC'd my setup a while back. But ended up turning it off. Didn't really need the power and the fans were abit too annoying. Built this system to be quiet and I like it. The Noctuas are great but even they can be heard at high rpms. I know you were trolling but whatever.

Poor Dumb Dom Crying about negs and his tampon.

Yeah, not a solo friendly game at all. Most pvp mmos have that problem though. Not sure how you can fix it. Hope somebody figures it out. Group pvp play is hella fun, but it's hard to maintain a group with only a few hours to play a week and real life commitments.

Heheh. I like it. Spruce Goose the MMO.

So you want to blow up the thread and attack me. Got it. It's on you then. That's your opinion and you are welcome to it. But all I see is you stalking me to a thread you have no interest in just to harass me. Still mad I pissed in your cheerios? Let's hear some more whining while you are...

Agree. If done right a mmo that allowed you to play your alts in a team or just play one toon would be great. EQ with their heroes kind of does that already and GW1 did it well. First with henchmen and then with actual heroes you could gear up. The change to that I would like to see would be...

How so? Elaborate. Or are you just here to shit up the thread and blow it up?

The first quote was a reference to Moore's law which was usually quoted as 18 months (but was actually 2 years). Moore's Law If you are generally asking a question, I'll try to explain my meaning. But if you are just nitpicking because you don't want to listen then that's your issue and you are...

Easy rule. If you attack me I'll attack back. Will skip it this time. I did build a new maching every 18 months or so for most of the 90's and early 2000's. That is on me, I wanted the absolute best at all times and moore's law was in effect. I could afford it and enjoyed the process.

Yes and no. More power always helps, no doubt. But to understand where I'm coming from remember that even up to a decade ago we would have to build a new machine every 18 months just to be able to run the games, let alone max them out. And that was true all the way back to the late 80's. Have...

Dom Go reread your replies to me. You cherry picked my words and attacked me by misrepresenting my position. You didn't listen to what i originally said and instead just ran off with bullshit. I'm done with responses to this. The original point was lost a while back and your retarded responses...

I overreacted? To being attacked for no reason? FUCK YOU. How's that for an overreaction?

All I did was post about how hardware has been ahead of software for a few years now. That little jewel brought on the rath of morons who for some reason think that's blasphemy. Heh. Sorry you all don't like that little factoid. Don't see why it bothers you so much. What in that statement could...

Cool. I'm glad you are so sure. Then you can move on. I could explain how to maximize your computer build (hint: there is more to a computer than video cards) but you obviously wouldn't listen.

LOL, Yep. Now comes the "Prove it" stupidity. You have gone full retard. I'm not going to waste my time with doing that and you know it. I don't have anything to prove here. If you don't believe me that's your issue, not mine.

I wasn't shit talking until morons like you started to attack me. If you don't like the result then stop being a moron.

Cool, So why does my setup rustle your jimmies?

Why does this bother you so much? Can't you afford a computer?

Yes, you are a retard. Got it. You should probably go back and take reading comprehension 101.

I maintain 60 fps in most newer games at max settings at 7680x1440. Only BF5 and a couple others give me trouble. Still don't understand why that bothers anyone. As I said the Warframe shots were easy to find. Didn't expect you all would nitpick that. Wow, how retarded. Now that games like BF5...

I usually get angry at liars. Keep misrepresenting what i've said and I'll continue to call you out. Or you can grow up.

Christ you are a little bitch. I also said that the new cards would be an improvement and that new games like Battlefield V kick the fans pretty hard in at that res. Piss off and get a clue.

It's just an example of a game. It was an easy screenshot to bring up. Not sure what your problem is here. Do you need me to post every screen shot I've ever taken?

I run 3 screens a 7680x1440, Nvidia Surround on games that support it. Can maintain 60 fps with max settings at that res even on most new games. Although the fans start cranking with games like Battlefield V, etc. Strix 980's in sli and Samsung 850 Pro ssds. Keeping it to 60 fps has a lot to do...
