    Project 99 - Green Server announcement

    I was briefly tempted to play, but then the thought of 1k+ poopsocking retards confined to two endgame dungeons and like 10 worthwhile solo camps made me curl up into the fetal position and wish for death.

    Project 99 - Green Server announcement

    Red died because there was absolutely no rule enforcement, so Holocaust members trained and zone-crashed all the competition into quitting.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I didn't even try to install the PEQ stuff because it says it's OoW. How bad is that in terms of classicness? Could one just ignore all the post-PoP content or is the earlier stuff also riddled with expansion crap that's gonna fuck with the authenticity? Like you could just not use mercenaries...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Did you ever find out anything? I've been looking for the same thing myself: a ready-to-play setup of something at least vaguely resembling P99. PEQ goes all the way up to OoW and has all sorts of modern shit in it that would ruin the experience, and I don't know of any other packages you can...

    Hearthstone

    I suspect Yogg will still see some play after the nerfs. People seem to have looked at the probability of him eventually dying during his casts and concluded that he's useless every time that happens. In reality, he very rarely dies before the 5th or 6th spell, and that's usually good enough. If...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    When I played (before any expansions; this is why I'm asking if it's still like this), skills were just so simple. Almost everything was completely one-dimensional. The majority of my character's skills had the complexity of vanilla WoW's Heroic Strike. There was nothing to think about. For a...

    Hearthstone

    Good changes. The game will be much healthier after this. Now if they can just stop printing a million RNG cards in every fucking expansion, I'll be genuinely happy with Hearthstone.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Do they still have a global cooldown of like three fucking seconds and such primitive skills and character build mechanics that it frankly belongs in the DAoC era? When I tried this game at launch, I couldn't get over how much it felt like playing a decade old MMO.

    Hearthstone

    Flamewrathed Faceless is insanely good. It's so good that it literally created a meta dedicated to countering it which got to the point where it has been hated out of the tournament scene. Any card can end up performing below par when the whole meta revolves around countering it. When...

    Hearthstone

    All games with this basic model will have a huge amount of RNG by default just because the cards you draw determine nearly everything. Honestly, before even creating the cards, the traditional TCG package carries like a 50% luck factor. In the overwhelming majority of games, the outcome is...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Eh. It's a pretty good expansion but I had my fill after a week. Something about it has just gotten so tedious. The way everything is spoonfed to you and so on, it's not like that's a new thing but Legion takes it to such an extreme degree. The game has a total absence of any sense of discovery...

    Hearthstone

    That's a pretty widespread complaint in the Hearthstone community. Each expansion adds more and more RNG, ostensibly because for every player who hates RNG there's a bunch who need everything to be determined by luck in order to remain interested in the game. I've never heard from those players...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Wow, the game runs like ass. I decided to buy it and I basically can't run it on a computer that's less than half the game's age. The FPS drops are absolutely constant and unplayable. This computer ran everything up to and including WoD completely fine, but they did something with Legion that...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    What about the simplification of specs? How does that look at 110? I hated it at level 100 when I gave the game a brief shot during the prepatch. Most of my characters felt like level 30 characters or something. Even factoring in the artifact, which rarely makes up for the often 10+ abilities...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This is the first time I don't buy a WoW expansion right away, but I still might get it. I'm just not sure if I want to gamble my time on it after being disappointed in the last three expansions. What's the verdict? Can anyone give a serious review at this point? Especially interested in hearing...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Lol you can't come into another server's thread and shill, then call people out as if they were the twats in this exchange when they respond. Just for that, I'm gonna not try 2002.

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Haynar's latest patch and working client-switcher hotkeys work superbly, so this server finally feels good to play. The basic client form the setup guide is terrible and TAKP frankly isn't worth playing with that, but Haynar's DLLs fix just about every problem. Prior to yesterday, it also made...

    Hearthstone

    There don't need to be counters to everything. If there was, gameplay would be one big rock-paper-scissors festival where you either run the counter and can win, or don't and can't. There are things you can do against any type of deck that helps against it, but it won't usually provide a...

    Elder Scrolls - Legends (Card Game)

    They were just examples of decks that rely on something other than mindlessly playing minions on curve every turn. I wasn't saying I want exactly freeze mage in ESL. However, I also disagree with your assessment of that deck as it's one of the most unique and original decks, with vast amounts of...

    Elder Scrolls - Legends (Card Game)

    It sounds like you read that from biased people. There's no way the game is categorically better. It does some things differently which may appeal to some, and there's always your segment of anti-Blizzard people who will insist that anything is better, but ESL is not a superior game in any...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    I give up on this. I've asked numerous people and nobody has even been able to attempt to answer. I can't get this set up to work properly on PC. I've tried Secrets' client, I've tried Haynar's, I've tried just downloading the basic setup package from the website, they all have the same two...

    Haven't watched a Kibler review in a while. He's usually so unrealistically optimistic that his reviews become worthless.

    Hearthstone

    No but getting a 1/1 Cairne, Sylvanas or Tirion (or even Tauren) with your 4-drop is insane tempo and will help you reach your N'Zoth turn in one piece. Also, it does help lessen the likelihood of being screwed for deathrattle minions. Once in a while, you do sit there with N'Zoth in hand and...

    The Al`kabor Project (EQMac) - PoP 1/5

    Do you need more than the standard download package from the setup guide to get things working well? I tried this server like a year ago but didn't stick with it because of the asstastic client. Having read that it's supposed to be massively improved, I downloaded the client again and it feels...

    Hearthstone

    The game is being pushed more and more toward midrange board control contests. It feels like they're systematically eliminating aggro and control. Virtually everything in this expansion is a mid-sized chunk of stats with a mild effect. Even the spells just summon minions. Coupled with the...

    Elder Scrolls - Legends (Card Game)

    I've been playing for a couple of hours now, doing a bunch of the single player campaign stuff. Four things strike me: The spells I've seen so far have been incredibly primitive. They're so basic that I can't imagine making a spell-based deck of any kind. I've also seen no potential for...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Three weeks into Legion, players will start leaving in droves again as they realize that while stripping away every class mechanic that doesn't pertain to one's rotation does make for a more streamlined and easily comprehensive class style, it also makes everything boring as fuck. That and all...
