There aren't enough pictures of dead horses, but I'll chime in nonetheless: LFD/LFR are tools, what matters is the content. If it's faceroll, nobody is going to say anything to anyone and just pretend anyone else is a bot. If it takes coordination and planning, some may play a different role...

What would you guys suggest as UI mod to track trinket procs and ICDs? My UI is a mix and match, so I'd like a standalone addon. Maybe I could customize TMW, but I'm open to try out something ready out of the box if it's non-invasive, instead of configuring each trinket by itself.

@Stave Build Editor :: Guild Wars 2 Skills It's a level 80 build, but it gives you an idea of what to get while levelling, you'll unlock Master traits at 40 and grandmaster at 60. This is a farming, levelling build, with a lot of perks, it's not a minmax speedrun damage build, that's...

I thought MS was on a good path with Win7, then I saw Win8. My wife upgraded to 8.1 and everything was FUBAR, so she had to restore the system to 8.0. Fucking amazing. An OS for consoles to be used on PCs is... retarded?

I'm tired of the themepark, nonetheless I played them religiously for years and years, with short breaks inbetween. Rift is just less appealing than WoW for class flavour, boring specs, shitty pets (I love pets, I mean combat pets, not the shitty cosmetic crap). I was pretty much forced to...

Thieves don't stealth forever like in WoW: they have an utility (Shadwo refuge) they can blast or leap into into smoke fields, or use dagger #5, they are all short duration stealths. Sword pistol uses no stealth at all, but it's very good for levelling. Warrior is strong, but boring, stick to...

I just can't stand full UI modifications, I prefer a few personalized mods. For example the main reason I can't separate myself from Xperl is the big icons with my effects on the mob, no need for fancy timer mods with graphical bars, etc. In short I live with Xperl, Bartender, Recount...

Double post.

Making money may be a metric, but there is a tiny detail: if they gain a million for investing 250, it's a freaking colossal failure from a financial point of view, because 250m can net a lot more money (basic RoI concept) even by letting them rot in non risky investments. A game like EQ costed...

You think levels, as in character levels are what matters, while in reality what is really important is your item level: you jump from end zone to end zone and you keep "levelling" (your gear and not yourself). In this regard a raid zone has the same longevity than a levelling zone: you do it...

While levelling things change often, scenerey, abilities, tasks to perform, npcs you interact with. Once you are max level all you do is exactly what a hamster does: run on the fucking wheel over and over and over until a few pieces of your dress of choice get that +gooder amount that is good...

When I play Skyrim, for example, I don't care what level I am, I don't care about leaving on the ground a lot of crappy items, I don't care about finding a customer for my wares, not even a merchant to earn a few more gold coins. I play the game at my pace and the game lets me play at the pace I...

Levelling 1-70 you hardly need a spec at all, you're forced to, so pick demonology and cast 1 spell per mob while your pet kills everything. Later on you may need a 2nd spell (HoGul'dan), with a shadowbolt tossed in for fun or to speed up slightly the kills. Lock and hunter have always been the...

It's like the WoW-model for books: I read Martin or Erikson, just to name two and there is an abundant number of deaths described down to the last detail. On the other hand, thankfully if I may say so, I can read a genius like Rothfuss or another very good writer such as Scott Lynch and lo and...

All modern fantasy books are about gruesome deaths with all the blood and gore and incest and anal sex, willing and unwilling, they can fill in. In all honesty they are becoming annoying and boring shit that just wants to be "realistic" at all costs. I'm fucking sick of reading books that can't...

I always preferred Death Knights and Paladins from LK onwards, the stupid amount of self healing and decent dps/utilities/cooldowns made them good for soloing, which is what I end up doing more often than not. I made a monk brewmaster but did not cap it yet and I'm currently unsubbed. Maybe I'll...

Unless they add a new class, I'm screwed, got an army of 90s already. Maybe opposing faction? I'd need one extra character slot at least. @Mr Creed: level 90 heroic dungeons are still done in a similar way, maybe less arrogantly when people are undergeared, but if you find 490+ ilvl people...

Math-loving people stated that Shadow tanks are going to be the best ones post update, by a decent margin too. Don't quote me on that, I'm done with using a spreadsheet to see if I can play a game the way I want or not.

Consider a few things: WotLK was good for raiding, also the 3 late-coming dungeons (all previous ones were jokes even on heroic mode, they became 7-15 minutes runs quite quickly during the xpack). Questing was still a bit retarded, lots of back and forth from the same questgiver to get the...

I was in your same boat, I decided to go Shadow tank-spec, I'm a sucker for dual bladed lightsabers and tanks, add stealth to the mix (skip a lot of pointless fights) and you get the almost perfect class. Pro Shadow there is also the fact you don't need a million buttons to play, but I could...

I'm quite ignorant about Wildstar still, but in what these telegraphs differ from GW2 red circles and long winded OHK animations? I enjoyed a lot combat in GW2, with it being a lot more dynamic than in other games; it's in fact one of the reasons I'm interested and intrigued by Wildstar, hence...

What if SOE gave him license to use the scrapped version of EQ Next and he's allowed to use the engine and models to make EQ3? Hmmm...

Out of 20 people that played it with me, none stayed past the 60 days mark and only 6 made it past the free month. I was the only idiot that lasted way longer than that and that's because I'm an altoholic that has to level at least 2-3 classes to max (in a game with 4 it's hardly a challenge to...

The main issue is this: every "role" in the game is disposable: you lose a tank, you get another with two clicks and a short break, same for a healer, not even mention a dps. Let's say I tanked well for a group, to the point the healer says something appreciative, I try to extend the...

Races I like are Aurin, Mordesh and Chua, regardless of faction. Classes I don't know, I'll as usual make 1x of each class, play a couple levels and give me an idea (and eventually maxing them all because I'm nuts like that). I'd like to be a friend of someone beta-enabled, I'm polite, clean...

We added those features in a D&D campaign, there were 2 books devoted to just those aspects: survival guide and dungeoneering guide if I recall correctly. Final response was: more hassle than they were worth, with a few ideas worth keeping. We liked temperature and food requirements, we didn't...

For me pro7 is a deal breaker. It pretty much means no EQN for me unless I can go on the US side.

I played a cleric for about 4 years, with an obscene amount of hours invested and still today I never, for a single moment in my life since then, thought how cool and fun was to play that cleric. It was a shit class for a shit gameplay, which was made extremely funny and rewarding only because I...

To be honest, most players have low expectations about anything concerning the MMO world. When the most exciting thing on the horizon is the next wow xpack, something is damn wrong. Maybe wildstar will be interesting, hopefully so.

Now that you mention it, I partecipated in VG beta, with a decent PC too and I was so damn frustrated by it, I almost punched my monitor. I tried so hard to make it work, because I wanted so much to play it, but it was... terrible, clunky, hitching, crashing, slow, buggy and so on. At some...

You must spread some reputation around before giving it to Big Flex again.

At this point, the only thing I can ask from WoW is the demolition of the wall between horde and alliance. I have 5 horde characters and 6 alliance ones, one of each class basically, none of my old horde guild is still playing and my friends that still login are alliance-only players. Keep...

I froze WoW a while ago, but will certainly pick it up again, maybe for 6.0, maybe for the xpack. There is one reason I do it: gameplay. There is no other game in the MMO genre that plays as smoothly as WoW, period. Every single game I played, with the sole exception of GW2, is lacking something...

The core of WoW is: beat the enrage timer while dancing around various forms of "fire". If the terms don't change, damage is the only thing worth bringing to a raid (see: specific class exclusions when underperforming). Alongside, dps specs of hybrids have to do the same level of damage or they...

I agree, if the decision about my arsenal is done pre-combat (e.g. the 8 spells for EQ casters) I'm fine with having more. Simmetry is more or less present in GW2 (everyone has 10 slots), but it plays completely different for each class, with some similarities here and there. Then if you want to...

There is *everything* wrong with making PvP the end game AND artificially forcing your population to separate in 3 factions where the one with the most beatiful mangina-friendly character models will win by sheer numbers. Population imbalances is just the first and gargantuescan problem they are...

That's my preference as well, GW2 style: 10 skills, some of them utilities, some combat oriented or a mix of both, most of the damage comes either from autoattack or a from a very short cd skill (100b, lava font). Of course when I say GW2, I'd say GW2 done correctly and not stomp keys, put...

Good news, thanks

Quick question: is TESO going to be the next Skyrim or are they still going to make single player games?

How much is 2.5 million credit for a level 55? Does it take long to make that much money? Sure as hell at 25 they are a gazillion.
