    You're actually missing the worst part of it. Since everyone can do everything AND you can level up your other classes with any class, that means there's no such thing as rolling on your class's items. So you're in a group and a sweet sword drops. Everyone's going after that fucker, cause even...

    If you can't aggro a mob though, how in the hell do you defend anyone? Is it going to be like what someone said where you see the mob charging the ranged DPS and you jump in front? That sounds like it'll be super fun until about the 2nd time you have to do it.

    It sounded to me more that you can't tank. That their super-duper advanced AI means there's no aggro, and therefore no tanking.

    He was talking about how the devs had shit FPS, and you say it's a tech demo...so, shouldn't they have given us something as smooth as possible to show it off? Why show off something that looks bad?

    I kind of wonder why they haven't just basically remade EQ but with an updated engine?

    I don't mean like they haven't balanced classes. I mean it sounds like their skill design system seems fucked and it's not balanced.

    This sounds like a whole bunch of bullshit. Ok, so they suddenly figured out adaptive AI? Or is it just going to be some scripted non-sense? The more I hear about this, the more it seems like they really have no idea what they're doing yet. They literally have a half working engine and that's...

    Ok, so I've mentioned TSW several times now, but for those unfamiliar, I made a quick image to explain. It honestly sounds like they're completely taking that system. So on the left is the ability wheel. You level up and you can buy stuff off the wheel with exp. In EQN, this would mean...

    These kinds of posts confuse me. Sure, there are no levels, but gear = levels. Your tier 5 character will stomp the shit out of tier 1 content. And it absolutely wastes previous content. Why the hell are you going to want to be doing lower tier content? Saying there are no levels doesn't make it...

    Seriously, between this and the other stuff, that's almost exactly like TSW. He needs a "builder" ability to use his rogue skills. I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing, but it's not really my favorite.

    I imagine the first few major raids will be handled a lot like Lord Yelinak and that water exploit. Just dig a giant hole around any boss and rain fire from above. Then they'll eventually fix that with death touches or something.

    Ok, after watching that video, it basically sounds like the class system is exactly like The Secret World. You unlock a class, you can mix and match abilities. So basically there will end up being a few good dps builds, tank builds, and healer builds. If you don't have one of those, get fucked...

    What you're asking is, is this basically The Secret World. For those unfamiliar, you can basically max out everything (and that's kind of the goal) and then carry around a set of tank gear, heal gear, and dps gear. Then you just change out gear and skills and you can perform any role in the...

    Saw this today. You can put your lifts in and it'll build a 5/3/1 program for you. Kind of neat. I mostly just like it cause it's a visual of the Exrx lifting charts (or something similar, since I didn't bother to find out where they got their novice/intermediate/advanced/elite numbers)...

    So for maybe 8 hours or so today, I wasn't able to get onto the site. Technically I don't think RR was actually down, but I couldn't get to it. 69.195.64.42 was dropping all my packets to the site. This was also the only website I couldn't get to.

    Or tell her to get rid of the scale altogether and do measurements. My wife is big into crossfit and does the same thing. She's up to 140, but she's muscular as shit. But her weight bothers her even though her clothes fit about the same. Measurements are a better way to track.

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    I thought plates were tied to the VIN on the car? Sounds like she wants to plates back so she can put it on her new car and not register it.

    Not a good day for the Niners. Chris Culliver out for the season with an ACL, and Patrick Willis with a fracture in his hand. Granted, Willis will be back for the regular season and doesn't need preseason, but still sucks. Also, someone on ES posted this picture. Pretty fun.

    Haha, no I could actually buy that. The weight gets increasingly harder to lift the heavier it gets. 265 isn't that impressive. There are plenty of genetic freaks out there that can train for a few months and do that. But when you're talking 300+, that's when you either had to have trained your...

    You can increase the weights while you're still in your noob phase; most of your gains are actually from your CNS. Basically you're getting a double gain between your muscles and CNS. But that only lasts until you hit the "intermediate" stage. You know you're in the intermediate stage when...
