    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    Unless your game is turn based or has extremely slow combat, you're going to want some twitch. Standing behind a dragon just auto-attacking/pressing some dps button every x seconds ends up putting you to sleep. Raids still need prep, but for the most part they have tried to eliminate...

    The Walking Dead

    Even if they had stone/concrete walls or moats or whatever, thousands of walkers would doom them if they lingered and didn't move along. It would basically become a seige and the humans would run out of provisions.

    Congrats. That quest requires 100% solid execution or you die. It's basically a 1-man heroic raid ;p

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    WoW raiding is more complex now that it was during WOTLK. Some encounters require smaller groups to handle side tasks during the fight (bird nests in ToT, towers during the harbor fight in SoO), many fights require interupts, cc, on the spot dps (General Naz comes to mind). They are also...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    Contested spawns led to far more anti-social behaviors, if one was to use the actual definition of the term (training, griefing, exploits, etc). Being a dick != social.

    Legend of Korra, Book 2: Spirits

    Don't have to retcon. The innate ability still requires certain types of movements to obtain certain results. So for instance, a person might have air bending as a skill, but perhaps they didn't really master it until they copied the movements of certain attuned animals? The original idea was...

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    Basically it is "age bias" on our parts. Much like people in their 30s/40s will think music/media/etc that teenagers or what not is shit, they also don't associate much with that crowd, creating social disconnects.

    The guard tower has been the "sexy time" spot for Glenn and Maggie for a couple seasons now, so I wouldn't be surprised if that is why they missed the rat feeder.

    His jugular was torn out...he isn't going to be able to do shit because he would be gone in seconds after bleeding out/his brain getting no oxygenated blood. Granted, unless the Tenchu zombies are masters at stealth kills, you'd figure that someone eventually would get bit in a less vulnerable...

    Dana's BF being a killer means this is a confirmed prequel to the final season of Dexter.

    Then when you miss a DPS/Healing CD because of chatting, you get booted for shit DPS/letting someone die or they tell you to STFU ;P

    Ya, the dude that got munched was just some extra. That's gotta be a pretty shitty way to wake up...with your throat missing ;p I'm guessing that the dude feeding rats to the walkers to make them gather at the fence was hidden in the death row section, which is why he killed Tyreese's GF and...

    Have you played the DayZ: Epoch mod? It add a lot of RPG elements (NPC traders/currency, modular base building, many servers have random events, etc).

    You know, I wonder...all of you that say you love the long downtime in old MMOs, how many of you smoke? That would explain a lot.

    How would you re-socialize MMOs?

    It's a fallacy to think that all past game designers were successful, as much as it is to consider all current to be unsuccessful (and vice versa). Products do evolve for a reason, though. Discounting nostalgic revivals, by and large most genres have evolved quite a bit (while keeping the...

    Don't you watch Japanese films/animation? Koji didn't enter his final form until this year with the Red Sox. That's why he suddenly became so dominant.

    The Walking Dead

    Water doesn't make sense, though. We can assume the water supply is being shared, so if it was some waterborne illness, more people would be getting sick. Granted it was 1 episode, but I doubt it will be some water issue...esp since that is easy to counter (boil all water then use charcoal...

    This. If people would clean the splooge off their rose tinted glasses, they could see that even in EQ1, people looked for ways to cut out players (quad kites, multiboxing, exploits). Half the people I knew just played on their playstation during downtime. Anything "forced" is going to...

    They also wrapped up the ED in the Furion novel. Azshara is one of the few big-bads left, so she may factor in.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Ethereal would be kind of hard as designed, since they are basically just energy with clothes. I suppose a total model revamp could be done (like Blizzard did with Blood Elves/High Elves when TBC launched). Maybe a Succubus-type race? Or they could do a Hozen/Jinyu thing? ;P

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I guess that brings the speculation, then. The Garrosh heirloom weapons scale to 100, so we can assume that will be the new level cap. Ghostcrawler has hinted at an item squish and "ability bloat" trim, although he did acknowledge they don't want to trim fun/cool utility abilities this...

    MMO Champ posted the Blizzcon schedule. Of note, besides the Hearthstone Exhibition, the only panel that is longer than an hour is "World of Warcraft: What's Next", which is almost right at the start of the 1st day. That seems to bode well for an expansion reveal.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    ToT is old hat now, so even the shittiest players still know what has to be done. SoO is still a shitfest which I am avoiding for the most part. I run LFR once to get roughly familiar with the fight mechanics, then I dive into flex (which has more mechanics, but most of the stuff in LFR is the...

    It was a shelf for wine. A retail establishment using a nice looking shelf or a shelf that conforms to our expectation of what setting wine should be found in (ie, wood) vs. some random metal shelf is perfectly believable.

    Well, I assume the zombies were passengers on the heli (evac?), which crashed. That was a pretty big heli and most of them had civilian clothing, so the evac theory seems plausible. The only problem with the virus theory is method of infection. From what we have seen, it acts pretty fast...
