    PoP sounds fun, but I have my 65 War on Test decked out in pretty much full Time gear / max PoP AA already.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Exactly my point I made a couple pages back. WoW certainly had a very large impact, but you cannot discount the collossal fuckup that was GoD. Smedly himself admitted it was the biggest mistake in SoE history. I am fairly sure I had linked screenshots of my guild raiding GoD (on a live server...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Lets not also forget what the fuck was wrong with Everquest by 2004. PoP was wrapping up with us big raid guilds dealing with about 3 months of cockblocking the Rathe Council by SoE before they tuned it to be killable. In Feb 2004, Gates of Discord launched which was possibly the biggest...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    It took so damn long raid buffing in those days! We used a "buff circle" too. Buffers stood in a circle while you stood in a line waiting to be called to the circle for your buffs. I did laugh at the occasional Server Chat troll who would jump in the channel and call "LOG IN!".

    Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but I think this could be revolutionary. I heard about this on a tech radio discussion today. This could shake up the status quo with the yearly product cycle releases from Apple, Samsung, et all. Project Ara (Google) : The idea being, you aren't...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Speaking of McD's. I just recently tried the Bacon Clubhouse Burger. I believe this is part of their attempt at upscaling the menu a bit. While it was nowhere near 5 Guys or anything, it was definitely a step up for McDonalds burger quality.

    At what point did they nerf the Manastone? I do remember they restricted it to old world zones only. Up to that point, they were godly.

    Speaking of, I felt that their uniqueness was cheapened with the addition of the Casino. Stuff like Fungi Staff and CoS were never put on there though.

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    Yea, I used to collect as much of this stuff as I could. Pre-nerf Circlet of Shadow (insta-cast invis from inventory for Nec / SK) was a huge one too. Before it was nerfed, they went for maybe 2k at best. They cost a small fortune shortly after up until they gave away the same ability with AA...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    That was the pre-nerf Fungi Staff. Basically the same version as the Shm / Dru only version, but pre-nerf was castable from inventory by any class. They were very rare and I paid millions of plat for one on my Necro. In fact, I still have it to this day on my AB server Necro account. I was...

    Swiftkey is amazing. You just need some time with it. It learns your common vocabulary / writing style and is pretty accurate after it has established some baseline of info. Also, if you mistype by not hitting the key dead center, it also learns if you commonly press the key off-center. You can...

    Yea, you are thinking of Skyfire. That version of Ragefire in Skyfire was actually the "nerfed" version. Before that, he would pop in Naggy's lair and you had the whole mess of clerics camping Naggy's lair for him.

    Fires of Heaven - The good, the bad, and the whatever else.

    Minor inconvenience for sure, but GMs always would revert the actual guild tag to the person who created it at any point requested. It would take some petitions and time, but I know a couple guilds that had drama over years and guild leadership / control of the guild tag was always reverted to...

    I played a Necro alt often enough to get his epic by the time Velious rolled around and actually raided some of PoP with him. I know some of the world best necros and NO ONE would use that stupid epic click unless you were somehow out of mana with nothing else to do. The entire point of the...

    Pretty sure he meant it was so bad (as in quality) that no one got it. I completed it on my Necro alt after my warrior and it wasn't that bad difficulty wise, it was just complete dogshit. Off the top of my head it was some stupid 9 second long cast time snare dot bullshit. Keep in mind, pretty...

    Trust me, they are making absolute bank even on $60 screen repairs. Years back I bought an iPhone 3GS replacement screen from China for $5 and swapped it out myself with some YouTube videos. Looked just like new. This was a pretty interesting video I saw recently: How much does your iPhone...

    Kinda agree with this. Screen resolution already far exceeds anything we can see with our eyes in such a tiny space (talking phones here). We might see some camera / sensor development, but I think all aspects are really getting to the point of diminishing returns. The only thing really left...

    This is kind of my point. Let's say you have a 10% failure rate (which is completely absurd). One in ten builds has a PSU failure, which in itself doesn't even guarantee to damage other components but for arguments sake pretend it does. You spend $100-$150 on a moderate PSU every build, that's...

    The Walking Dead

    Yea, it was kinda ripped on in previous threads. Early in the series (I think at the CDC) they said it is random, but can take quite a long time to succumb to the bite / turn. We saw RV guy take a couple days and Andrea wait for her sister to turn overnight. Then later for plot convenience /...

    I've been building PCs since we used jumpers for BIOS settings. I can count on one hand the number of failed PSUs I have seen in my dozens of builds. One was my dumb ass plugging into 220v in Europe without flipping the switch. I work with PCs, IT, and comm equipment in one of the harshest...

    The fuck are you two retards talking about? Power Supplies don't just degrade over time to uselessness. Especially given the fact that this is a solid power supply based on a Seasonic X-Series. I use the exact same one myself. (Purchased mine in 2012) For his build, 850w is far overkill too and...

    Even from the first season with the guy who got bit and quickly got fever as they hauled him around in the RV, then eventually left him on the side of the road. It was get bit = get fever and die and then turn into zombie. It was only later that they learned that any death = turn to zombie...
