    So do just that? The game doesn't need to tell you when you can go afk. If anything it's harder to do in an open ended respawning area like in EQ than in a mc dungeon like in wow where you just tell people "k afk 5mins". But regardless, how is having forced downtime better than just choosing to...

    Downtime doesn't have shit to do with slow progression, other than it's the shittiest way to achieve it. Here's a fucking genius idea for you, you can only gain xp for 15mins a day. Isn't that perfect? Means it can take 2years to get to max level, and you can do other stuff instead of having to...

    But camping stuff is fun because you can watch tv and don't actually have to play the game! And yes that is sarcastic but that same argument was used fucking last page. If I want to watch TV then I just watch TV, if I want to play a video game I play a video game. I don't need to play a video...

    Oh wtf who's Katya Kazanova, you're in my friendlist, ran Hatali together before I went to bed before the end of the beta. I also noticed Ray Gilette and Sterling Archer names while I was lvling because of Archer, didn't know that was people from here.

    Valve Project archive leaked - HL3, L4D3, Source 2 & more

    Didn't they do that in whatever game where some files were named Half Life 3 just for fun, in TF2 maybe or something? And them working on the game doesn't really mean shit, see Titan.

    It's on first page, at least it's about the same shit, they might have edited it a bit.

    DOTA 2

    You can watch pro playing pubs via dota tv when they're not streaming, or play against/with them. Demon acts like a dick on stream too and Merlini/Dendi/whoever sometimes get angry on stream too even though not that often. What I'm saying is simply that it's not black and white shit, it's not...

    Not necessarily, depends on players. Some pros don't rage ingame or rarely do, even though most of their teammates are complete shit. Others rage super hard. What is funny though is when pub trash players tell pros they suck. Not that pros are always perfect or what but I find it pretty funny...

    Maybe they're consulting him to know what not to do? Anyway wonder just how much they've shown at E3, people saying it was the best mmo there but was it based on what was shown or what they said would be in the game eventually? I just wonder how much they've done and is actually going to make...

You're not actually invincible though, simply immune to physical, you can still get killed by spells. Also IC has a short cast time which...

    I can see the complaint but it's not necessarily a FPS thing, just a can you sit down for 4+ hours and be focused the entire time on a video game. In a mmo you don't have to when raiding, sure the raid might take a while but there's a fuckton of lulls, like between pulls, after wipes, before...

    Better explanations is linkshells are basically chat channels that are invite only, that's all they do, you can be a member of multiple linkshells.

    Right, I still have trouble getting used to the fact that a gladiator is the shield user, feels more like a 2H user name to me, but eh. Obviously yeah meant MRD for all of that. On alts, the main advantage I feel is having quests again and accumulating leves on 2 different chars. I think for...

    Really? All I've seen was how the fairy would provide "aoe healing" and that sounded to me like Scholars would be "raid healers" while WHM would be tank healer. It'd be nice if Scholar was basically 5 healing abilities but I don't know I'll wait to see it, and doesn't change the fact you'll have...

    Yeah overall I think most of the jobs had useful and interesting abilities, other than WHM. The issue lies in the current classes though. There is only one healing class in the job, there's 2 other supports jobs but being jobs you can't cross class from them(bard+scholar) while those jobs can...

    If they were to release this year, it would be what, 3months beta(between the time it'd take to setup the beta, send invites, get ppl to dl client, run tests, then prepare for release). Do we really need a mmo with such a short beta? Sounds like a stupid fucking idea.

    Cause obviously that's all that's needed to last hit. I mean sure there's a lot of terrible carries but farming in a contested lane isn't as easy as just clicking creeps. If you're in a freefarm lane though it's a shame missing last hits, even though you'll still miss a few every now and then...

    It's only main and sub class, no 3rd class. And job is only those 5 spells, mentionned that already last page and it's the same as 1.0. WHM arguably has some of the worst job skills though, regen is only the thing that stands out a bit and not even that much. Thing is you don't have to play WHM...

    They've been the best for a little while already. Na'Vi can definitely beat them, so can a few other teams in good days, but overall they're the best western team.

    I thought they wouldn't have the dmg to win this because treant bane no dmg, weaver bat lich fairly low dmg, but apparently it works alright if your weaver has living armor and can dive the supports into the base at 20mins and repeatedly kill them without getting punished. The TA pick was highly...

    Hunting log is pretty easy to see because every mob in your log will have some sort of circle above their names, a bit like if it was a quest mob. So you kill those and it'll display in your chat how many you need and how many you have. There's 10 groups of mobs to kill(sometimes it's just one...

    Interesting they confirmed that. I guess they plan on finishing the 2nd tutorial before then. Still weird they're gonna "release" without full heroes though, and with a bug list that's like 600-700 entries big.

    Jobs aren't until 30 anyway, I assume a storyquest will explain it to you once you reach that, but storyquests stopped before 30 in P3 anyway. Basically at 30 in a class, your class trainer will unlock a new quest which also requires 15 in another class to start, and it's like a specific job...

    Arcanist and jobs won't be until open beta/P4. Well jobs should be available to 1.0 players once they activate that(which should be next weekend) so we should get info on them at least. Arcanist nope.

    What's funny about FFXIV graphics is apparently their lightning engine shit isn't turned on cause they had issues with it, and what's even funnier is it looks worse than 1.0 on a lot of things because of the changes they had to do for the PS3. On the other hand, it still looks amazing AND runs a...

    The way to do it which was most efficient was, unlock the chocobo in Vesper Bay(there is one even though there's no crystal), Attune to the crystal in Drybones and Horizon. Then from the Vesper starter, you use Teleport to the crystal in Drybones, you get the Teleport spell very early in the...

    For the quest chain he's talking about, there's no crystal in Vesper Bay where the HQ for the Resistance or whatever the name is, so you have to TP to the nearest town(Horizon I think it was) then do a 1min long chocobo run. Then you turn in the quest, pick next, and have to TP back to Drywood...

    I believe yes something else, but it might have been that video, hopefully not, I want to see spells and shit. As for the fairy, not a big deal to me, as long as it does a proper job. That's what I don't know, will the Fairy be casting ALL the heals, will it be squishy, that kind of stuff.

    Yeah I guess the downtime is a good point. Rezing retards who died to charging golems in MC after every pull, marking the 12 mobs of the next pull, doing a ready check to make sure not more than half the healers were afk, plenty of time to chat then. During combat though really not. I doubt...

    You had time to type during wow when exactly?
