    Blizzcon 2014 - Who's going?

    It's not for me, but I have the useful genetic variant that makes me immune to acidity in sweat. Meaning that, for me, body odor is... just an odor. Barely noticeable. For years, I couldn't understand why my mother was mad as hell every time she came into my room, or insisted to open wide...

    The only thing worth watching will be the red shirt man, as usual.

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

    Probably because there's no real market for an EQ remake. I mean, he described EQ1, and then said ... because I ran out of cool new ideas. We're having this discussion here and now, probably twice a year. Someone comes, laments "oh, why isn't EQ1 remadeproperly", Dumar usually pops to assent...

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

    I think that's the whole point. I don't think there's going to be one ounce of originality here. When we saw the looting of the phat lewt, meaning that mob where pre-generated with their loot - that's straight EQ1. The whole point of Pantheon is redoing EQ1 with a different lore and setting...

    Two thirds of my guild who unsubbed during MoP are coming back. Now, they might not stay for two years, but there's a sizeable contingent coming to try it and see the new story and how the new raid system works.

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

    The problem so far (beyond the amateur hour Unity stuff) is that we don't have the slightest idea of what kind of game we could get (in an ideal world) from Pantheon. Beyond a game with fiery avengers in the hand of rangers and purple mushrooms. And it's been a couple months since I've...

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

    Looks like loot is added at NPC gen (which uses the same gen as the PC for now).

    You can probably expect another squish every one or two expansions from now on.

    EQ Never

    Anyone who's read the e-short stories on EQNext knows that. They embody the "old empire in its full decadence" concept.

    Blizzcon 2014 - Who's going?

    I might be watching the opening ceremony (which should be free like the previous years), but since there's nothing in view (Titan is dead, maybe SC2 Void expansion)... Would be funny though if they said "By the way, WoD is going to last only a year, here's the preview of the next WoW...

    Yep, and that's nothing to do with actually levelling Archaeology and everything with the tiny random chance of actually getting those projects. You'll be 600 well before you see any of those. If you do... don't ever play lottery, you've exhausted your lifetime chance storage.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yup, same here. I got booted to screen two or three times, and there's times where quest don't seem to update, then 15-20s later, they do.

    The big difference between your own and not your own tradeskill building is that you don't absolutely need the building at level 3 to make epics. Also, you can only craft the starter ilvl 640 epics; you can't make the upgrades to ilvl 665, and you'll have to purchase those on the AH. And that...

    Fires of Heaven - The good, the bad, and the whatever else.

    Karana was the so-called "french" server. Tunare had a sizeable general euro component, plus the inevitable Asians. (Tunarean here, old man of Tide, the main euro-guild. I still remember the rivalries with Talisman and Stars)

    I presume at least half the playing population has yet to hear about the stat squish.

    5 weeks. Since you haven't played since LK, you might want to come back a week or so before launch so that you can explore a bit Cata and Pandaria. Depending on how hardcore you play, I'd count 30h of /played per char for 80-90 (profession leveling not included). And you have one free bump to...

    Well, that part can be done without managing the Garrison. Go garrison, accept daily, get apexis. (unless I've missed some work orders to get more daily apexis?)

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Basically, your two large buildings should be the Barracks and the Bunker/War Mill, your two medium must be the Inn and Barn, and two out of your three smalls must be Salvage Yard and Storehouse (with a choice of the last to be for one of your main or an alt profession). You can sacrifice...

    Fondest Memory of MMOs

    Justice Divine. (just swap the two words for the english translation) Not the best liked guild among the french, but it managed sometimes to get stuff done. The friend who brought me back my box from the US had a first month bill when he came back in France of over half of his monthly...

    Titan has been cancelled.

    Tell that to the old-style champion trains. Ah, so it's loot, but not loot you're interested in (but apparently, plenty of people are looking for champion bags). Hence my mention "GW2... with end-game".

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yup. There's nothing to do until maybe a day before exp launch, when you can resub, clear your bank clutter, and be camped at the Redder (more Red than Dark!) Portal (or wherever the intro quest line starts) for the next day.

    Titan has been cancelled.

    Yea. "Don't defend this spot! The retaking event has a champion with loot!" /em watches as players keep on slaughtering attackers The EQN version of it sounds a bit better because it is slower to change, and more unpredictable. But the unpredictability means that "guard job" is not a good...

    GW2 with well-defined roles and an end-game. Done.

    Anything over lvl 50 is forever, below it's basically 1 or 3 months.

    Lots of money will buy you a demo. A demo, apparently, did not give you lots of money.

    Let's call it Team 666, and send them to destroy Pantheon!

    Titan has been cancelled.

    So they still have the team, but they totally nuked the original concept rather than last years' "we're going to redo the design". They just have to find a new game to make.

    Paid a trailer's worth of banknotes for Tyrion to sound bored mouthing his speeches?

    Probably going to talk about Heroes of the Storm and the first "real" expansion to Hearthstone.

    Titan has been cancelled.

    Yea, I supposed they don't think sandbox Minecraftesque MMOs are ready for general use yet. Even if Microsoft spends 2.5 billion $ purchasing Minecraft and thinks they can make it back by next year.

    He's a priest. What did you expect? It's always the healer's fault.

    Well, you do beat him in the novel. It's just that Varian shows up and decides to take him prisoner for judgement instead of executing on the spot. I bet he's a bit pissed at not taking the easy option now (or rather, in november).

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Just like every obsolete content. It'll lie there, fallow, unused and all that. As usual, once an expansion hits, all the previous content is considered obsolete. Can't do Ordos? Why would you do Ordos at level 100? (note that the "for transmog" has an answer with the Garrison, apparently)

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    And even then, it doesn't make sense to have it as a major objective "for the expansion". The only difference between your quest blue cloak and the legendary cloak is whether it's going to be replaced after 1 hour or 1 day of /playing. Ok, maybe 2 days. It's core design for WoW that no gear...
