    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    There is f2p and f2p: swtor has possibily the best shop ever made. You don't really need anything beyond what you'd pay for a cheap game (say 10 or 15 bucks) to buy two or three basic features and become a premium account. The good thing, is that you'd want to buy a ton of shit there, cosmetic...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Second tank died with Gruul at 45%, I solo tanked it until the end thanks to a rampage phase where I could reset the stacks. Monk is (and always was) in a very good spot and high mobility helps a ton when I doze through fights and wake up because I have to position quickly. On the other hand...

    I hope one day they'll just admit defeat and let the opposite faction at the very least group and guild together, opening cities is not necessary. Having to pick the friends I play with every single night is beyond retarded. They removed every other barrier in the game to facilitate playing...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Swtor is making money and is packed full of people. So yeah, really bad launch, but they recovered very well and last time I checked they made about 40 million dollars in 1 year, not too shabby. You can argue that the IP should have done even more, but in the end they did a decent job, game is...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Soe created some of the best dungeons I have memory of and I mean the best in terms of complexity, layout, texturing, atmosphere. From the good old EQ1 to the unforgettable EQ gems, the main issue I had, especially with EQ2, is that most of the hours spent to create that content were wasted...

    Yes, it's good to be green. It was even before, but until a certain gear level it was well hidden and everyone was screaming "DK". This means they'll revert the stagger change back to 10%, and take away 10% flat damage modifiers, I know, they like to fuck up with people.

    SWTOR

    Glad to hear it. I picked up the game again, talking a friend into it and I'm loving every moment. We're going to duo from scratch as Shadow/Scoundrel, because stealth is cool (I'll play scoundrel).

    It was not just that dungeons were large, but they were part of the world, they seemed to have a reason to be there and felt a lot less artificial, but at the same time, they delivered an adventuring and story progression feeling. Today doing a dungeon is just like watching an episode of a tv...

    Thief is very good, has the best ranged weapons in the game (imo, just for the fun factor it wins by miles), does monster dps on single target, but it's super squishy. Specced and geared as glass cannon you can be one shotted by most boss mechanics if you fail at dodging. Their weaponset is...

    The main issue with WoD is that aside from raiding there is no PvE progression and raiding has a lockout, the rest of the week people don't want to stand around with randoms, they like to play with friends, a few of them: scenarios, challenge modes, etc. should be an alterante way to gear up for...

    I find PvP simply boring and see nothing special in it, in particular when instanced like BGs or arenas. I tried several times GW2 pvp and I just fall asleep, it gives me no sense of adventure, just boredom. A different case could be made for the occasional world pvp, but in the end it becomes...

    Relic of my old MoP habits: brew gave 2 stacks and critted every other use for extra stacks, which meant that mana wasn't ever a concern, even doing challenge modes. You're definitely right, it's not very good in WoD and I should change it. The new 6.1 Ascension seems interesting, I'll have to...

    Skills are not only weak, but they rarely have a large impact on your team: with this I mean you don't really coordinate when to put up might stacks, you do it, period. Aside from reflections and the eventual Aegis/Stability there is little interaction between group members. Most of the times in...

    To be honest, there is absolutely no reason to get to 80, unless you play only for WvW. The best part of the game is the levelling experience, with exploration and jumping puzzles and similar stuff. Once you're 80, you're basically done. Oh, except for some personal story and eventually living...

    Monk healing is nothing short of awesome when doing the raid healing, it sucks donkey balls for tank healing and has only 1 (well 2) raid Cds that is not bad, but it's not great either. I mistweave as offspec for fun and the main issue is managing a fuckton of Renewing Mists, when talented with...

    I won't ever pay for early access, no matter the title, but at the same time I can't condemn kickstarter projects, that are a different story in my opinion. The fact that too many abuse the system, it means that it has to become better regulated, not that it sucks (kickstarter, that is), but big...

    There is no PvE worth talking about, the only decent piece they added was the new path in Twilight Arbor, but to be flat out honest, the lack of a trinity system made the content stale quite quickly for me. I still lasted one year because I'm an altoholic. Necromancer was a good solo class, but...

    The trinity is, for now, the most fun model I played. GW2 is a good game, but it has no depth in group fights and less than zero in large raid-like fights. Expanding on the model of WoW challenge modes, 1-group content could become very interesting and a lot more fun for those people that...

    I don't think I've ever been fucked by RNG like in this xpack. 70% of my tokens net me gold, like I need it, drops are so random I end up getting the same shit over and over, stats are the worst possible (almost) for my BrM monk, given I seem to get only haste stuff, which is cool because I like...

    Recount doesn't count absorbed into damage taken, add the huge guards and you'll get closer. Monks take a lot less damage than other tanks, in the end it's pretty balanced, because we have more spikes in between guards/brews. As gear will improve, my expectation is to have stagger reverted to...

    What was the crappiest computer that could run EQ 1999-2000?

    I had an Amd k6 at 200mhz if I remember correctly. I think I had a Voodoo 2 already and I'm quite sure I had more than 128mb of ram. Truth be told, I started a tad later than most veterans, around late 1999. My rig was quite good back then.

    Currently it's not particularly difficult, but the difference from playing warrior or paladin or even druid and playing monk are enormous: monk is the epithome of "so much work for the same result" that other tanks have, except maybe the DKs. I don't know what made me think that 4-5 minutes...

    I'm raiding next monday, being casual and shit ain't easy, but it's what I can afford. For what I'm reading Brewmasters take a shitload less damage than warriors, compared on a decent guild recount data (4,0m vs. 2,4m). I'm optimist, I hope I have a bit better luck with raid drops than heroics...

    It's arguably the worst stat , yes, but it's not so shitty, it still helps in generating more chi. Of course if you play with Serenity, it's totally useless, because you can stack shuffle in advance. I play with Chi Explosion and I don't shit over haste items, so far the little bit I found on...
