    Torrents

    TVTorrents system is great. I use them for anything TV related. As far as IPT is concerned, I always download 1080p blu-ray rips so I have specific uploaders that I go to time and time again based on their quality and reliability. I dont bother with any others.

    Yea, I was moderately active on FoH since the start. Took me a while to find these forums after FoH forums folded though. I hadn't followed any of the behind the scenes drama. Dropped my Tem app on Saturday. Who are you in game?

    We've got warriors Shakerpaging that place. It's much quicker work (doesnt take multiple AE train passes) and a hell of a lot less boxing effort. I just hate how it absolutely screws with everything in the zone. I was at fiends camp in the same zone last night and we literally had suits of armor...

    What Made EQ Great? Tell your stories to a filthy casual

    Parents just want to blame something else. It was right there in the second sentence of the article: There's your answer. EQ wasnt the problem, his emotional issues were.

    I highly doubt they would do Station Cash upkeep. EQ2 player housing has had upkeep costs in since day 1. The lower end costs game coin and the higher end is a mix of coin and Status Points (earned via Legendary Quests, Raiding, certain named kills, etc).

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    Just remember that AA XP bonus curve I showed. You might be maxing quite trivial skills at the lower levels, while vastly powerful and more costly ones at higher levels are more important. The more AA you blow on "fluff", the more that AA XP bonus tapers off. Dont get stuck in the long grind for...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yes, after thinking of this whole BFL scenario I cant help but think they are running the ultimate scam. 1) Charge money up front for Pre-Order Vaporware 2) Use said funds to create the tech 3) Run that tech in-house farming bitcoins for the company as long as possible 4) Difficulty...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    So, I just started reading up on this Bitcoin stuff today and stumbled across this thread. I had started googling around and ran across the BFL website. I was actually considering that Monarch card (or two) but then I got to these last few pages of the thread...

    Na, wisps memory for me (as a warrior) was taking the first swing and getting the message about it being invulnerable and needing a magical weapon to damage the mob. Then the wisp proceeds to beat the shit out of me while I could do nothing at all to damage him. Biggest WTF, shock, then smile...

    EQ F2P- Returning Players & Current Content

    There is a VERY significant AA modification for players under 4000 AA (on all servers). The breakdown is something like: 0 - 1000 AA = 1000% mod. ie. 10x the AA 1001 - 2000 AA = 750% mod ie. 7.5x the AA 2001 - 3000 AA = 500% mod ie. 5x the AA 3001 - 4000 AA = 250% mod ie 2.5x the AA...

    Yea, the stat caps make it pointless for end game. Frontal stun immunity is a pretty significant attribute though. I still made a Barb Warrior anyway (on EQ Mac).

    Piecing together a speaker system

    Am I missing something here or isnt this calculation only valid for 1 fixed point frequency? (ie: nothing except a sine wave) Dynamic audio would constantly change frequencies (therefore wavelength) and you would have a constantly moving variable for speaker placement to align at 1 fixed point...

    Yea.. no! You can keep your Win7 just as it is. I havent seen a single glowing review of Win8 (Nor 8.1) outside of people using tablets. Win8 is your Vista or Millennium Edition. Win7 is your XP.

    Pyzjn was her name. A little lvl12-14 Necromancer that was rare as shit to spawn and even rarer to drop the GBS. I've wasted MANY hours camping her, killed her a dozen times and only ever gotten a rusty dagger. From the lore, I always found it intruiging that she was also linked to that other...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Did you really shell out $570+20% import on this thing? Jeez. I recently went tent shopping online and looked at all kinda of crazy setups costing $200-$300 and eventually settled and said fuck it and bought a Coleman from Amazon for $45. http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-Sundom...6437866&sr=1-7

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Partial truth. Not sure about the 3 series, but BMW put performance runflats on all their SUVs out of the factory. They dont even come with a spare tire anymore without paying for it as a $150 option. All of that said, I cant wait until these wear down to put on a set of regular...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The fuck? E92 is a tiny ass 3 series. My X6 has monster 20 inch 315/30 rears and 275/40 fronts and the whole set is cheaper for Dunlop SP Sport Maxx runflats. *edit* $1,216.00 for all 4 in some Bridgestone runflats.

    Don't get me wrong, the art direction is a concern of mine too. 100% with you on the Kerran and his armor appearance. I just dont see the point going in circles talking about combat mechanics / ability slots and all kinds of nonsense that has really not even slightly been explained by the...

    I dunno. I raided in one of the top guilds of the game and we still found the lore intruiging. PoP had some pretty cool stuff going on up until zombie jesus and the wtf lolz TIMETRAVEL!

    Did anyone else get the "tweaker" vibe from Todd at the live season finale? He was all twitchy and fidgety and constantly wiping his nose. I think he found something else in South America!

    The worst part of the VT key was trying to equip an entire cutting edge raid guild. The stupid shards were spread out all over normal xp zones and scrub / family guild types would camp certain areas hoping to loot shards themselevs, nevermind the fact they would be lucky to see VT in the...

    I assume you are talking about Pet Classes? I can take my mid-50s Necro there and simply AFK while my pet kills stuff or are you talking about some kind of scripting? Care to elaborate a bit? (Also, I am playing on Mac server but I am guessing this doesnt make a difference)

    Everquest II

    I havent done the end-game Hard Mode raiding since Velious, but itemization aside, the raids were pretty fun. The only complaint I would make was that a large portion of the "difficulty" was the burden placed on healers and cures. Miss a cure = almost guaranteed wipe.

    Everquest II

    As said already, disable shadows. Its a CPU pig. The game was designed to run on a single core (not sure if they ever optimized) and to make matters worse, the shadow engine runs off of CPU cycles. You can sometimes see a doubling of FPS by disabling them. It's a shame too because they look great.

    Most gameplay vids are of people raiding with their graphics settings in the floor for max FPS / reduced delay. Despite some questionable character models, I always loved the graphics and had a beefy enough system that my raid settings were fairly respectable too. You have to remember there are...

    As much as I would love to see EQ3 happen, you know they will not do it. They do not have Blizzard's revenue and have a fraction of devs. They have already pulled dev manpower from their other titles to work on EQN. There's just no way they would split that up even further. They are going to...

    EQ2 did the 24 man raids (4 groups of 6) and I just didnt care for it nearly as much as the larger EQ1 raids. With so few people, it was pretty specific and restrictive on the necessary classes. Again, EQ2 as an example had 24 classes and 24 raid slots but you would be damn sure there was always...
