More socially acceptable to get a good buzz in a bar -- buzz smooths out nervousness... Maybe doesn't want to smash a burger/beer and end up bloated as fuck on a first date. Those trendy burger joints = 2k calories in a sitting. Maybe thinks "dinner" is too serious and thinks "drinks" is more...

^ There is some fancy-pants math that tries to estimate how many calories from fat stores your body can access over a 24hr period. At a certain point (probably sub 15 percent BF), even ~2lbs a week is considered excessive -- because your body isn't capable of breaking into the fat stores to...

I never got too deep into the albion PVP scene -- I played Mid on release and quit before 1.65... What do you guys think about the raging debate on Paladin and endurance on the general forums? Is Alb fucked or semi-fucked or is it just a bunch of people whining?

Good theurgs are super super potent in RvR. I dunno if I'd say the same thing about Wiz.

Cool screenshots Kharz. I just hit 40, going to push tailoring up to lgm before tackling 40-50. Trying to decide if I want to carebear it up further and farm plat for more tradeskills or start on my pvp alt. I played Uth 1.0 rather late and it was hard as fuck to find crafters willing to help...

One thing to consider is that most players are not consistent. Their A game may be 3000 but their "tired and had a beer game" may be 2000. Mental and physical consistency is something that must be practiced.

Did a few levels at dunters and almost every play session, I'd run into someone pissed off that I was killing "his mobs." Invoking ancient camp rules from EQ in DAOC 17 years later just seems asinine. Cabas are the worst at this. They feel entitled to fast leveling but need to pull enormous...

Salvaging drops is huge.

Chance of hitting 6L with 600 fus is, to my understanding, definitely below 50 percent. But yea, that's the best way to quit a league.

Motog's Crafting Calculator - Help Page - Trinket Guide I've been using this.

What class are you playing? I can craft Cloth/Leather/Studded armor. I can keep an eye out for a specific weapon type that'd be sure to last you to high 20s. Try asking on the newbie guild chat if anyone has any hand-me-down gear. Specify what you need (leather, piercing, etc etc). A lot...

To my understanding, a house is pretty much just for people who want to list things for sale right? I quit classic DAOC before houses came out and never owned one on Uth 1.0.

Queue is super rough on weekends during EU prime time. Cleans up by 8-9 EST. Earlier than that on weeknights. Devs have said they're looking to expand the cap and I suspect some people will burn out over the next few weeks.

Yea I edited to add: I guess with a 50 nec you can trade powerleveling. Both necros respec death servant, hire a cleric, can probably slam out 1-50 in a few sessions.

Yea for sure -- and leveling a Nec is fast... but that still means you're leveling 1-50 on a (likely) group-dependent character later on. Just with nicer gear. Even a perfectly-geared inf solos like dogshit. I guess with a 50 nec you can trade powerleveling. Both necros respec death servant...

Eh, yea, but you're paying for it later since you still have to level a real class if you want to have any fun in PVP. That being said, leveling a nicely-pimped out Merc or some shit sounds like fun.

Yea I dunno, I'm okay with meta builds. Most of my characters have been life/armor or evasion. I'm probably just salty that ES is so ascendant.

Or, buy a bunch of sketchy orally-ingested steroids from foreign websites and do nothing but 50-100 dumbell presses in your office chair. Whatever happened to Antman?

Do a few weeks of basic calisthenics -- pushups, crunches, planks, air squats... whatever, doesn't really matter, just try to hit all muscle groups. Do them slow with proper form (use youtube). You're not building muscle in this stage, you're building flexibility and acclimating your body to...

I was a little too young (31 now) for TNG's glory days but I always enjoyed it. I've never seen this episode but I think it's considered the best (or at least top 3) episodes of all time.

I think I'll skip their next league and wait for 3.0. Breach was fun but I find myself getting a little frustrated about balance issues. Or, it could be that I'm nostalgic for the days when I was a newb and the game felt hard and scary. Now, it feels like practically autopilot to T15. I...

I see posts and irc comments like this and think: how the fuck can you be an MMO vet (as evidenced by your interest in playing a 16 year old game) yet be frustrated by launch issues.

Albion (moreso than the other two realms) has some weird bug going on that affects all casters. Spellcasting lag is like 4-6 seconds. It makes playing a caster a huge pain in the ass. Definitely would impact groups. Blue (a dev) said that he knows the issue and is working on a fix.

I suspect a lot of people are working on farming chars right now -- playing a naked melee on a new server kinda sucks. A strong DPS group relies pretty heavy on melee.

11 AM Saturday. Server at cap with 716 on Albion queue. Probably 500-900 x2 for the other realms.

I was one of the first warriors to 50 on MLF for classic... those archers would kill me in 3-4 shots as I recall.

I don't think so. Don't have the link handy but you either have to delete all your chars or submit a request for realm change which takes 7 days.

Pretty sure Uthgard traditionally had a bigger playerbase in EU. Its 8 PM over there. Should be slightly less people for US prime time.

1 minute past launch time and servers blew up. Good sign for player pop, at least for the first week!

Same.

Lol, it's not that bad. I remember 40+ being tolerable during Uthgard 1.0 leveling as a Merc. Hopefully Alb gets DF at least some of the time.

It's similar in that leveling takes a while, substantial death penalty, soloing is quite slow for most classes... In other words, the leveling experience will remind you of Classic EQ. The PVE game isn't nearly as involved as EQ, however. There really aren't any fantastic pieces of dropped...

I'm going either Nec or Cab for my first character. I've got RL friends who might play and I want a strong plvling char in case they do. I can't really go hard on leveling until Feb so I'm not going to commit to any pre-made leveling plan =/ EDIT: some people will always love stealthers, but...

There really isn't any pre-established group, but yea it seems we're all going Alb.

Classic; they're targeting the 1.65 patch.

I'm expecting 2-4k concurrent for the first few weeks with crazy queues and server issues. Then, when the reality of what classic leveling is sits in, the furor will die down a little bit. But not by much -- Uthgard had a sizable player base years after launch, I think I recall 1k concurrent...

Yea -- I like all the realms but I think we'll go Alb this time. No one in my list of "likely to play" has any strong thoughts one way or the other, and everyone is slightly reluctant to join the perceived zerg realm (Mid). edit: you guys going ham on launch with leveling or is it a more...

So, who is rolling come Friday?

My interpretation of that loot filter is that it's just showing you decent rare item bases that you ought to ID.
