Fanfics... on a news page? At least guides/experiences have information in them, even if it is a bit of a stretch to put on a news page. But this? I don't care how good the writer is, a fic is a fic and it doesn't belong on a news page.

What's next, IllidanXMalfurion?

Single greatest addition to the game to date. Grats Mythic for pwning item hoarders, and greedy babies.

only fixes one part. I can have better armor still and roll need for sell fodder. So a step correct but not like you cant still get pissed when someone rolls need.


 

Even if they did add something that checked what you were rolling on vs what you had, what would decide if something's a need or not? Someone could be collecting tanking/dps/healing gear that they wear only in certain situations, but need none the less so that they can keep up in different situations. Someone might not like that +17 Toughness and decide that the +10 Weapon Damage is better, even if it's less points. Levels don't decide it either, since I've replaced higher level gear with lower level gear before.

You'd see far too many people complain about being forced out of a roll, and the fact that it was Mythic's fault that they lost out, not another player's. So I think what they're doing is a nice step in the right direction.

I was thinking the same thing... Pandemonium Warden from FFXI is the hardest boss that I know of in MMOs.

Personally, it would be General Drakkisath from UBS in WoW. Before they made that into a 10-man raid and everyone was decked out in T1-3 gear that is. The respawn rate meant that, assuming you were lucky enough to have a warlock and could get a soulstone, you'd have two tries on him before having to start all over again. If even one person messed up... splat. If even one person wasn't hugging the wall and accidently pulled him from 30 yards away... splat. It was fun, but very difficult.

I haven't seen any issues with population, aside from the basic spreading out of players.

As for people complaining about PQs, I think what many haven't come to realize just from trying out the different PQs in each chapter is that of the three, there is always one that is much easier than the other two during Phase 2/3 (you can complete these with 1 tank, 1 healer, and 2 dpsing). Generally, that's the one everyone is doing because they realize it's easier and stick with it. Location is also a factor... the PQs right next to a town tend to be the most run, even if they're harder than others in the same chapter.

Also, if you are having trouble finding people, have you tried traveling between the different pairings to see which ones are popular?

I think WAR, more than any other game, tends to be a bit more divided. Not only are there three different areas to level/PQ in, you move on from one area to the next fairly quickly, so people get spread out. It definitely can be a problem if you don't keep up with the pack (or level beyond it), but there's nothing stopping you from grabbing friends to help with the PQs.

i am sorry to say that the only thing that can ever kill wow is another game made by blizzard.


 

The sad thing is that it isn't even ACTIVE subscribers. It just says "including 1.5 million subscribers since its release." In other words, 1.5 million people have signed up for an account at some point, but there's no telling how long they stayed.

Not that these numbers are bad, mind you, but you don't really see companies brag about how many people have subscribed since launch, because it's the same thing as bragging about how many people have gotten accounts... it's just a number over time and doesn't mean anything about what the game is like today.

Did I just watch a trailer for The Forbidden Kingdom 2? Because that's what it looked like. With a bunch of characters that they tossed DB names onto.

Mushishi, D.Gray-Man, and After School Nightmare. The FMA manga is really good, but the past half a year or so worth of chapters (in Japan) have been really... scattered.

And for the older audience... Berserk.

Hey MMORPG,

I'm only 17 and i work Part time at Walmart. I switched a shift of mine (i work in foods) with a girl who works in another department. My manager told me i can't do that because "girls cant lift" (you generally need to stock milk/eggs)

I thought of this as sexist and innapropriate.

What does MMORPG think? and should i do anything about it?

That is a very sexist comment. Some of the others have brought up that maybe she can't lift, but if that were the case, all the manager had to say was "She can't lift."

Sadly (or rightly so in cases when wo/men try to abuse this), it should only be brought up to a higher authority if A) the manager won't promote her because she's a girl, B) there was a need on her end (such as medical) for the switch, or C) if you, at the time and with one witness, tell the manager he's being sexist and he shouldn't make such comments again. You have to cry foul, because in that case, some people might not think it's sexist.

I have a very easy answer for the OP...

I've been told many times that I'm going to hell for not believing that there's something more out there.

 

So if I'm going to hell, I'm taking some of you believers with me

Except they did listen and did make a lot of changes based on feedback. Not everything, because that's quite impossible, but to say they never listened is a complete and total lie.

I'm glad to see that they're constantly working on changes. Things will go wrong yes, and not everything will be fixed with a flick of their magic wands, but that's the unique thing about MMOs... they're constantly evolving and changing (and for anyone out there who's a programmer, you know how scary the words "constantly evolving and changing" are).

Explaining things like that is useless. People won't understand until they go through similar situations. You'll probably understand as you get older.


 

Actually, explaining things like this IS useful. It helps people around Jeff come to terms with their loss, otherwise they start going over every little thing in their head wondering if it was something they said that set him off or something they did. Knowing the motive and/or cause helps bring closeure to a death. It also helps teach people what signs to look for, so that in the future, perhaps something like this can be prevented.

Also, a LOT of people have gone through similar situations. It has nothing to do with age and everything to do with what one has experienced. I would honestly not be surprised if the majority of the people here have dealt with close calls and serious issues that have dragged them down deep both mentally and emotionally. So get off your high horse.

To the loved ones, friends, and even the "I met him once at a convention" people, you don't HAVE to only focus on the good things he's done. Just be respectful when discussing the pros and cons of his life.

I believe Atlantis started around season 7-8 of SG1. While you won't miss anything by watching SG1 all the way through first, there is an episode or two where the episode of one lead into the events of the other (such as, SG1 finds an item and then passes it off to Atlantis to help them out with something else). Also, McKay is introduced in SG1, becomes a regular in Atlantis, but visits in later SG1 episodes to help out Earth-side.

And that is why you fail. Though im with u also we as a majority of americans have lost the will to help others in need. We ignore the problem and hope it will solve itself.

If someone gambles their future against a chance, and then looses all of their money, they aren't "others in need." They're idiots who took a chance and lost. The banks got greedy and the people who bought homes with mortgages they couldn't afford got greedy. They were banking on quick money, took a chance, and failed.

I would no sooner want to help these people then I would the person who bets their house on a single card game because they've been having a lucky streak.

This is a BIG two-way street considering that everyone is so busy talking about how the Democrats are pansies for trying to bail out big banks, yet 40% weren't on board for it.

Honestly, I'm tired of the generalizations. If it were like 10% or less, then yes, it'd be the Republicans who were against this bill and the Democrats for it. But that's not the case AT ALL.

REALITY though doesn't make for good headlines, and it's hard to point fingers when you're going "Damn the slight majority of Republicans, oh and the slight minority of Democrats, who voted against this!"

I'm so confused... I find myself agreeing with Republicans...

It's just scary though that one side has completely overwhelmed the other to the point of abuse of power. Whether this bill goes through or not, I fear things will not get better.

I think what's "spread thin" is players within a server. Since everyone is leveling up at a different pace, that can cause the player base to spread itself out a bit thin, especially if you're leveling up too fast or two slow compared to the others on your server.
