    Ive done plenty of work around the house, probably more than average. But at the same time you have to realize that a lot of people do shit without permits in this country and can fuck up some huge shit, and still make it look good. There is many things that the inspector should check, that...

    Then you just had a shitty inspector. He should be checking for stuff that is blatant code violations, structural problems, drainage, grade, hvac, gas, electric.... among other problems that an average Joe like me or you has no fucking clue about. The problem is that the "inspector" job can...

    Those are not women, those are sluts.Good for a bang, dont get me wrong, but the ones you do wanna date have some morals and definitely will not bang you right away. Usually if a chick bangs you right away its a clear sign of "stay the fuck away from the crazy". Women are conditioned to be...

    Yep, this is true. Within the first 5 minutes of meeting a guy most chicks will either classify him as date or friend club or fucking loser which should not be seen with. And once in the just friends club, its almost impossible to get out.

    The problem as I see it is if you hire anyone other than family, you have to be prepared for theft. Shit, even some family will steal from your ass. Trust me I worked a lot of fast food in my younger days and I saw it all. When I moved into management and got involved in day to day bookkeeping...

    No catch, it was just a straight interest adjustment down to like 1% for a few years and then it will go up to like 3% and max out there for the remainder of the loan. Its damn better than the 6%+ I was paying. We got denied for the Obama making housing affordable plan, they said I made too much...

    We got royally fucked with our current home, which we bought when the housing bubble was at its peak. We payed $235K and now these houses are going for about $160-$170K. But I also made a killing with our last house we sold around that time for $185K which now is worth about $100K. I applied...

    Adventures with lyrical - buying a business

    I have a buddy which got out of the automotive industry, and along with a buddy of his bought into 2 subways somewhere in Florida. Its a pretty rough business. He works tons of hours 60+ and is making about $45-50K a year. He told me that you need to own like 2-3 by yourself to make enough to...

    Because a PvP game should never be balanced around 1vs1. It should be balanced around group vs group and multi group vs multi group. And this is where the whole RPS comes into play. And if like you said, everyone was balanced 1vs1 what most fights would come down to is not properly responding...

    This is where Blizz fucked up on the whole 40 vs 25 raid size. They should of left shit as is and then everyone has spots on a raid and is not prone to min maxing your 25 man with certain clases. You would of had your 40mans, which were perfectly fine, then you could of had you 20 and 10 mans...

    Shadowbane had a wicked Class/skill/race/rune system which rocked. You still had some cookie cutter BS going on, but you also had some off the wall viable builds which made you go WTF? Untill you got owned by them.

    And then you have in essence what you are advocating against... One Spec of skills which is better than the rest. Its inevitable in a pure classless skill game. Heloo Cookie Cutter build of the month. Battle mage!!!!!

    Were taking about concepts here, not what a shitty game VG was, bro. The 5% bullshit is only going to pertain to the leet min-maxers and catasses which will find some shit to min-max no matter how perfectly balanced system you have. in a regular day to day grouping situation that 5% less healing...

    It not done inthe same way though. There are nuances which are diffrent and each plays a bit diffrent, which gives people variety and tons of replayability. A blood mage and Shaman in VG were worlds apart in play style, and yet essentially performed the same role in a group setting. The system...

    This is the key right here. Make healing a bit more fun rather than stressing about which health bar is about to go down to nothing, essentially playing whack a mole. And then maybe you wont be LF Healer for a hour. As a healer youre totally removed from the combat/encounter and just staring at...

    Then it is up to the game makers to makeallparts of the game interesting, not just the end game. What makes these games interesting for me, and others im sure, is the slow progression and build up of power and skills over time. Exploring and discovering new content along the way. Without this...

    This is definitely sig worthy and all developers need to read this 100 times, repeating it out loud. And then when done, write it on the chalk board 100 more times untill this simple idea sinks in.

    Although I thought AO was remarkably ahead of its time, the combat system employed in AO was still the autoattack type combat we saw in EQ. So while pushing the envelope in other components of the game, combat was still the reliable, tried and true, autoattack type. Combat is key ingredient...

    If you introduce twitch skill to mmorpgs, by nature which are more cerebral time played based games, youre essentially going to alianate most of the people which play mmorpgs now. If you want twitch games, go play one of the shooters. I think this is definitely the wrong way to take mmorpgs.

    Or make it like Shadowbane, if a mob gives 100exp, it gives 100 exp to ALL group members, so essentially youre a dumbass if youre not in a group. Its not forced grouping, but the advantages of being in a group far outweigh not being in one. Also the group size matters as well. If you give...

    I understand that the game needs to be tuned and classes will undoubtedly get nerfed in the process. But some of the shit was just sweeping nerfs across the board, some like 50% reductions to shit. And this is what I have a problem with. Add to this that they are not fixing broken skills and...

    Sad thing about these latest exp changes and mob difficulty is that even the die hard VG massochists will start to bitch and quit because the game is "too easy" and being made into a WoW clone... And btw I quit too, but not because the game "sucks" but because of the continual nerfage fest...

    Oh, you mean the ones which litter these threads which have not played it since beta 3? I think on a scale of 1-100 a 60-70 is fair for this game and by no means does it mean that the game sucks. If your looking for a 80-90% reviewed game, good luck, better go back to playing WoW for a...
