    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Lasers and other gimmicks are not good raid design, they are the ultimate in laziness. Even Tera gets tiresome after a while, because its all a version of 'watch for enemy clue, time an ability, dodge' over and over but even they atleast didn't resort to red circles and shit all over the...

    Most certainly a lot of stuff in that video will be nerfed ( or simply won't be as hard as they would like you to believe currently), but its good pr for them to advertise it as hardcore, non-care bear stuff. This is because they realize the vast majority of players think they're hardcore gaming...

    Fights looked cool even despite the constant telegraphing bs which I will never understand why their dev team is so excited about. Just wish the graphical style was different. What really excited me was what the guy was saying - raids with 7 bosses, 14 minibosses? Sounds like a lot more raid...

    Haha that ship fight looked fun as hell. Unfortunately the typical endpoint of these games is initial fun small group Pvp eventually coalescing into mindless Zerg vs Zerg once the game matures

    So I played tera for several months, enjoyed the (at the time somewhat new and interesting) 'action-combat' feel to the game, especially soloing the BAMs, it felt like i was playing bayonetta the MMO or something. But it gets pretty dull after a while. Does the combat in this game offer anything...

    What about the big pve raid targets in an open Pvp zone? Is that 1.1? Adding big ass raid targets needing a lot of people to take down, and drop some of the best gear and crafting items, while also fighting off other players, sounds like it could be awesome in a clusterfuck sort of way(anyone...

    Can anyone find an official full review on the razer blade 2014? All I am seeing are the initial first look type articles from back in March. I am curious to see how the laptop holds up to real use before I splurge - I suspect overheating May become an issue

    Still playing on Adamantoise. We are looking for a dps for our static (raid mond, wed, Thurs 6-9pm ESt) if anyone's interested in the new coil. Which is a lot of fun by the way, but definitely won't last 6 months. If they could forego crystal tower and just add 4-5 new turns every patch it...

    That red dragon video gets linked constantly. It was from a gm event and was designed to be a loot pi?ata, from what I read it is not at all representative of the raid boss fights in this game. Now I don't know how tactical the actual boss fights are, they may also be simplistic, but if you want...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    They never really delved into Tyrion and Tysha's backstory and how that played into the divide between Tyrion and his father, other than a few side comments. So will be interesting to see how they explain Tyron's rage during the big reveal from Jaime. Also the show never really gets into...

    Remember reading somewhere there was a turning point around the roe vs wade time. Less unwanted babies = less criminals was the apparent connection. But I cannot vouch for the credibility or research behind the claims

    The area's just so friggin small compared to how many companies and jobs are out here. If not for the awesome public transit the highways would be some of the worst in the nation from all the congestion. One option( I guess?) for people with 'normal' salaries around here is cubix-sf, if they...

    This was a great patch compared to 2.2. Adding the rare drop mirror to Levi was a great way to give people incentive to keep doing that fight, unlike the primal extremes which had a lot of meh jewelry and the weaps which u only did it for a few times. And it's a good thing too because its the...

    12-14 hours is pretty low end. I am probably going to end up taking that long unless my luck worsens, and I am doing better than anyone else in the guild. Most of my guild mates are at 2-3 out of the 12 required drops after around 6-7 hours of farming. I can easily see it taking 20+ hours...

    Im lvl 27 now and absolutely terrible at this game. If I get an add or two I'm usually running. Meanwhile I see people spamming arrows or nukes at the speed of light and dropping 2-3 mobs in the time I kill one. Maybe it's because I'm bard/healer/random useless third spec but it sucks

    I understand they have to cut costs somewhere to get a price like this but dear god, 5400 rpm? Would be a bit more tolerable if the ssd was atleast large enough to put a couple games plus os but 24 gb is impractical.

    Last patch content was same or below ilevel rewards. Since they're upping the ante I expect the new fights to be a lot harder and take longer to learn. Ultimately it will be the same farm status but now you have it ontop of turns 1-4 which I think people will continue doing, in addition to the...

    Did a little more digging into archeage's endgame. Apparently there are entire zones(regions) which are essentially just open world raid content, including one area called 'Carcass' full of bosses that need 50+ people to kill? And it's in an open PvP area, so other guilds can gank you while...

    This is true. There's only so many ways to do 'aoe' and 'adds' and 'tank swaps' before you've seen it all. I think the last time I went 'whoah ..

    I'd say that's the case for ifrit extreme for sure. That last nail phase at i70 dps would be tough I bet. But I don't think the difficulty of Garuda and Titan arises from gear relates issues. There would be even less room for error, sure, but it doesn't matter if your illvl 67 or 90, if you yet...

    It's really not that hard.

    I think server mergers are definitely needed. There's just not enough variety of players to make pf work at the moment. You have your casuals and newbies learning fights. And you have your hardcores that just want to farm. Right now there's not enough of each and they end up intermingling on...
