    NHL 2013 - 2014 Season Thread

    I'm not a huge fan of fighting in hockey, but it's there so I'm fine with it... Having said that, there is nothing that a player can do on the ice that can come close to justifying what Thornton did to Orpik. Attacking an unsuspecting player from behind, and throwing him on the ground and...

    Why did Rift fail?

    I wouldn't say Rift failed exactly, but it certainly wasn't as big success. To me the game failed to have a "killer" feature, it was just an extremely well done average at everything game. I prefer a game that has a few memorable features, and a few bad ones than something that is just...

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

    I know I'm in the minority here, but I found TERA's combat fairly boring. The only time it was fun was when doing BAMs, and I attribute more to the challenge BAMs represented than actual combat mechanics. Even those became a boring routine after a while with no danger except making a mistake out...

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

    I played EQ for about 5-6 years, never went back after I quit for EQ2/WoW. Stil today when there is any talk about loot in any game thread...I think of stuff like this: FBSS, Circlet of Shadows, Rubicite Armor, SMR, Oracle Robe, Jboots, Cloak of Flames, Golden Efreeti Boots, Fungi Tunic...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I'm losing interest in this show, which is sad since this show should appeal to me. The problem if you compare it to Arrow is it seems Marvel is too afraid to do anything with the show that could remotely come in conflict with their Marvel Movie Universe since they both exist within the same...

    Totally agree, the music montage was really great at the beginning. It was also another really awesome episode, love how the dealt with what happened in the previous one.

    Arrow

    I love this show, it might not be the greatest show ever made...but fuck it if it's not the show that understands it's audience the most and just give them what they want. At the pace they are introducing shit, they are gonna run out of stuff to before the season ends.

    That was my experience, it's kinda hard to explain, but after a while you don't really notice the red stuff on the ground in term of visual distraction, but still notice them to avoid them. It's a bit hard to explain, it's like a HUD in a lot of game...you stop seeing it but still get the info...

    NHL 2013 - 2014 Season Thread

    I think the referee threw him out of the game on the 2nd hit more to keep control of the game than anything else. If he hadn't hit Backstrom earlier, he would not have been ejected. I think the ref just thought it could degenerate if he stayed him.

    It's hard to say, I think it will be fairly balanced between both factions. I was surprise by how popular the granoks were when paying Exile side, won't even mention the Aurins...those were everywhere both male and females. On the Dominion side, it was sort of the opposite, Mechari seems...

    It's a deal breaker. At around 30 my hp could vary by 25-30% more when gearing for tanking, and my support power was close to double my assault power(tanking abilities scaled off support and dps abilities scaled off assault).

    EQ Never

    I'd pay for a $100 Founder's Pack for EQ Next for sure with similar benefit than what they offered for EQ Next Landmark. At this point I am undecided about Landmark. The issue is not about money, I'm just not sure at this point that Landmark offers anything that interest me...like I'm not...

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

    It wasn't just apathy, I believe that Sigil did an horrible job of managing it's beta community. Providing any feedback that was viewed as negative by the "Fanboys" led to threads becoming nothing but fanboys insulting people and telling them to go play something else. Even fucking bugs were...

    EQ Never

    Not that different, it's just that in Landmark people will create content that "might" end up being used in EQ Next. So people are paying to possibly create content for SoE for EQ Next. Don't get me wrong, I'll most likely pre-order anyways. As the saying goes...A fool and his money are...

    EQ Never

    So they want us to pay to help them build their game? That's brilliant, it's like having your employees actually pay to work for you rather than you paying them. Now that's a fucking next gen feature if I ever saw one.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Aside from the bland characters, I think the biggest problem is that it's barely set in the Marvel Universe. I think they are afraid to touch any of the marvel properties..either villains or heroes because they might want to use them in the Marvel Movie Universe. What makes Arrow so great...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I'm pretty much with everyone here. Coulson is cool. Skye is kinda ok, but is so hot that I am fine with her. I enjoy Miranda. The 2 nerds are funny, but I find them to be too similar except in different fields. Agent Ward has to go, he's bland as shit...totally boring character...

    Castle

    The last 2 episodes were good, it felt like they remembered that Castle(the show) is at it's best when it's a bit silly in the type of murder they get, and that Castle(the person) can go into these really strange speculation about the motivation behind the murders. The show isn't as good when it...

    Man of Steel

    They wanted to make an darker/edgier Superman, so they wrote a story that left no choice to the character than to kill. Something that writers have avoided doing for the past 75 years. They could have written the story differently to give Superman a way out...and he would have remain the...

    After Earth

    I'm generally pretty forgiving when watching movies, but this was pretty bad. Jaden is just awful as an actor, it was passable when he was a kid because very little was demanded of him, and we generally are more forgiving of child actors...but this won't work now that he is older. And fuck...

    Jensen is the better actor by far, and his character is also a lot more interesting...I mean he loves porn, junk food, classic rock and women...He's me.

    Which MMO *DO* you actually play now?

    Marvel Heroes and WoW. I essentially move from MMO to MMO when a new one adds content...GW2, WoW, Rift, SWTOR mostly. And Wildstar beta whenever that's up

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    While I am overall a bit disappointed, I'm still enjoying the show. It seems to be getting better, so hopefully it will improve still. If Miranda is reporting for combat, I am not sure what the point of Agent Ward will be.

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    My problem with this is having bought the ultimate pack. I have all heroes...my highest is Ms Marvel at 38 or so, then I have 2 in their twenties and about 10 in their teens. Just can't stick with one.

    While I enjoyed the combat in Tera, and I know what I'm about to say will sound a bit strange but the better I got at the game the more boring it became. Because you can essentially avoid all damage, at a certain skill level...it's just became too easy, I never got hit, and it sorta became...

    I don't mind guns or ninjas in fantasy...but they don't belong in EQ. Whatever this game will be, or how fun it might end up being...it's not gonna be an Everquest game.

    Arena, Battlegrounds and Warplots...Warplots being the new thing...to paraphrase one of the devs...it's violent housing. It's like 20x20 or 40vs40 organized pvp where each sides builds their own fortress and fight each other. You can capture raid bosses and put them on your Warplot, not much...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Well there is gonna at least one who drops it. I haven't played since hitting 50. I had fun playing through the game once to see the main storyline...but honestly hated the 40-50 level range that required Fate grinding which I found utterly boring. Leveling other class/jobs means grinding...

    I don't think the franchise is going down the tube because of changes to the combat, or at least not only because of it. The games have just simply getting worse overall. As for Wildstar, I love it...leveled 3 characters to little over 30. But then again, I love questing and leveling, I'm an...

    The dungeons are fairly linear, and like all MMO except EQ1 there is little to no communication. EQ1 had downtime that's why people talked we had nothing else to do...every single MMO since has had zero communication except to explain boss fights. It's no different here.

    I won't totally disagree, although I've enjoyed the combat as it is...I have no issue with limited action set, actually...I highly favor it to having 40 abilities on 5 hotbars..but that it's an entirely different discussion. My point about having a solid foundation is that the combat basics are...
