    Everquest - Live Servers

    Pretty standard stuff. It's the continuation of Torment of Velious, the gist of the lore is that restless ice started permeating across Velious and creating restless dead stuff. We go everywhere looking for the source even though it's obviously from Sleeper's Tomb, where Vulak is using the weird...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    Nah, there's explicitly no NDA for this beta, nor has there been in a few years. Streaming it is fine.

    Everquest AMA with Holly Windstalker

    In The Burning Lands, spell and AA development was extremely... lacklustre. Developer posts during beta indicated their time was being devoted to other projects. Are there plans to add or reallocate resources towards meaningful class development (not just copy/paste Ability X at 20% more...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Yeah I mean my post was somewhat intentional hyperboleI'll probably level in Wildstar and do some dungeons, it feels like it's worth the $60 purchase, but I don't see myself subscribing long term. I'm sure patch improvements could change that, but I'm always inherently skeptical of the...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    That really only sounds like plenty to do if after 15 years of playing MMOs that offer these things you somehow are still interested in them. Housing notwithstanding since that's a secondary feature for most. I really like Wildstar's gameplay but the fact that the endgame is basically 'oh its...

    Planetside 2

    mouse/keyboard. Joystick support is horrifically broken, unless they fixed it in the latest patch, but I doubt they did.

    EVE Online

    Original Caldari Achura characters can still possibly have 15 Charisma. Remapping will ruin this and will force you to the standardized stats. However, unless your character has perfect stats for what you are training, and you only ever train one type of skill on that character, the training...

    Planetside 2

    Fire on reflex, if you happen to kill someone wearing dumb camo instead of their faction colors, no big deal. Takes a good amount of TKs to get weapon locked.

    Planetside 2

    I'm confused about how it would take hundreds of dollars to be competitive. The vast majority of infantry weapons are sidegrades at best, downgrades at worst. You only really need to buy 1 or 2 of them depending on what you're interested in. And vehicle-wise, there isn't much point in buying...

    Planetside 2

    I've honestly always thought that the design of bases that typically put spawn points outside of the cap area and in very exposed, easily campable areas was pretty terrible. I really don't think defending would be that "easy" if the spawns were in a better location, hell, at the very least...

    Planetside 2

    The biggest problem with the vast majority of a vehicle kill XP award being the player kills is that around 75% of the time, everyone bails out before the vehicle dies. I only actually die in a vehicle when I just get totally raped by running into a zerg(ohai suddenly rendering tank/aa platoon)...

    Planetside 2

    Yeah I retract my statement about the 5 seconds kill time, I'm now trying to figure out how I've experienced being nearly killed in the time it takes to fire one barrage of rockets by one burster MAX when there didn't appear to be anyone else around and firing. Hackers maybe? I don't know, it's...

    Planetside 2

    FYI it takes about 5 seconds for an invisible burster MAX to kill an ESF, they do around 15-20% health per second damage to you. That isn't an exaggeration, if an ESF stops to hover and a burster max starts shooting them, they WILL die. Should you ever stop to hover? No, but hovering is the only...

    Planetside 2

    That reminds me, probably the biggest problem with this game -- in fact there's no doubt that it is much bigger than any other problem I can think of save MAYBE rendering distance bugginess is that XP rewards are simply totally fucked. There's literally no point in doing anything except...

    Planetside 2

    Many walmarts don't have this deal, and it's pretty much US-only afaik, no Canadian walmarts have it. So even if you do go to walmart, it's quite possible that they won't have any of those cards. Lot of people are complaining on the PS2 forums. If you have it take advantage of it, but it's...

    Guild Wars 2

    I find it a bit odd that they're allowing refunds past 30 days after the game went live, but whatever, it's extremely unlikely this has any impact on their bottom line and no one should give a shit if the few people who legitimately think the game wasn't worth the box cost give up their right to...

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    There's nothing stopping anyone from running their own Newznab indexer, it's not even hard if you have any linux knowledge at all. Nzb.su allowed registrations for a short while after nzbmatrix.com shut down, but looks like they're gone now. I think this is a good thing for Usenet, public nzb...

    Planetside 2

    The M60 Bulldog is actually buffed not nerfed, it's just that SOE is completely incompetent at release management. They reduced clip size but improved everything else(projectile speed, reload speed, rate of fire, and damage), which will actually be quite a significant buff because holy shit the...

    Smartphones

    The whole phone is Gorilla Glass, you can tell because Gorilla Glass is slicker than regular glass due to the way the process adds ions to the surface of the glass. And boy is the Nexus 4 extremely slippery. The case does feel really well-built, more so than any other phone I've handled...

    Note Millie

    No offense, but if all you"re looking for is someone willing to spend a significant amount of time moderating, you don"t need to take that level of "bad" with the good. It"s notthathard to find decent moderators, seriously now. Also, at the end of the day, crazy people willalwaysfuck you. You...

    Why all the nerd rage against Vanguard

    I have to admit, it pretty much ensures that I would never touch Vanguard if grouping is that important to levelling. Dealing with group overhead every time you log in, just to level? I"d honestly consider that to be a frustrating waste of time. It also ensures that it is completely...
