  • Originally posted by Bathnor *Picks up the phone* * Calls nine whine whine* "Hurry, send out the Waaaaaaambulance!!!"     Quite intelligent and on point, Bathnor; though, I might have expected something cogent from a 37-year-old.   I know you …
  • Originally posted by lowendahl It's all a sign of our society's decay   That's perhaps a bit extreme. Certainly, all societies reach an apex of sorts, but I'll wager such judgments are based more on technological achievement, wealth, and the ar…
  • Originally posted by aleos i laughed so hard. The entire post was direct and serious and then turdmuffins Such is the impact of careful application of vulgarity.
  • Originally posted by Starpower Just to provide some equilibrium to this thread. Just like the examples mentioned which I agree with. It's equally bad to be part of communities with women or people in general that tries to slap a PG-13 on the guild…
  • Originally posted by jpnz Amazes me that people still expect other people to play nice when the population is 100k-500k for most themepark MMOs and 10 Million for WoW. If I go to a city in real life that has more than 100k+ people, do I expect to …
  • Originally posted by ezpz77 umadbro?   Not so much mad as disgusted.   The late George Carlin once said: "Pot is supposed to heighten your personality -- but what if you're an asshole to begin with?" MMORPGs obviously have the same affect on …
  • I'm a really boring person, I guess. My online persona is no different than my RL persona. As such, in 12+ years I have absolutely no recollection of having done anything mean.   But I gotta say, some of the foregoing exploits made me laugh.
  • Most definitely -- raid loot should go to guild. * Raid-derived gear degrades crafting and economic systems * When loot goes to guilds vice individuals it eliminates all perception of unfairness ... the old need vs greed argument
  • I don't know, I kind of like where the OP is headed.   I like the idea of starting out with a character that has very minimal "talents" in swordplay, fistfighting, knifethrowing, archery, and even magic -- all evened out in the beginning.   Play…
  • Originally posted by Quirhid First and foremost, people want good games. Realism rarely makes a good game. But I sense my explanations are falling on deaf ears since you used the term "instant gratification". Oh, fudge! And here I was laboring un…
  • Originally posted by megabuu Title says it all, you are cramming too much different stuff into a game. It would never turn out good. Exactly.   Let's just pile up a bunch of cliches. Hmm, let's see, Medieval: vampires, werewolves, certainly some…
  • Originally posted by Quirhid I would also like to see combat with all of the following combined in the same game: * projectile blocking - projectiles hit whatever is in the way, whether it was an ally or enemy you didn't mean to hit * b…
  • Originally posted by aphydork Well, it sounds like in order for a game to challenge some people, monsters need to one-shot you, and you need to be pit against raid bosses alone that take a long time to kill and require lots of dodging. That sounds…
  • Originally posted by worldalpha We're a tough crowd! This isn't a hit on you, Mike, as many of your posts are well reasoned and thought provoking.   This forum isn't different than most others. It's frequented by an awful lot of people who neve…
  • Characterizing "ganking" as a playstyle is like calling serial murder a career choice.   Many times already, in this thread and others, I've advocated for FFA PvP, and that does include ganking. But I reiterate vehemently that PvP and all its atte…
  • Originally posted by Josher GW2 is the first MMO since vanilla WOW that I've really enjoyed.  The sad part is that enjoyment last about 5 weeks, because even playing casually, I got to 80 and "realized, wtf do I do now?".  Thank you for reaffirmi…
  • Originally posted by delete5230 Strange you should bring up working out and having anything to do with a video game being hard. I see no connection what's so ever !............Anyway, I'm the OP and I had started this topic about mmos being too easy…
  • Originally posted by madazz And to the guy who thinks "bloody hump" is a pirate name, "bloody stump" imo actually makes much more sense. Regrettably, Bloody Stump had already been taken; besides, I'm not a guy and as a Cutthroat Pirate (one of tw…
  • Agree with preceeding respondants.   As a squishy cleric it might be more advantageous to take on mobs individually in many cases; therefore, I'd want a skill that allows me to lure singles. As a heavy armor user, perhaps I can aggro and fight mu…
  • Originally posted by Cephus404 I find it funny that the people who want super hardcore games are the ones with no jobs, no lives, who spend 24 hours a day in the game and anything that doesn't allow them to flap their dick around for all to see is…
