for those of you who play this game, did you play everquest before for a long time? and if so how the hell did you get yourself involved in another timesink?

[/ QUOTE ]

Played EQ briefly during the latter part of the espansion of the game. I quickly noticed that some player were soooo geared that it would take months/years to catch up. I looked for a game with more equailty between those who have devoted thir lives to it and casual gamers. WOW provided this somethat, but still the hardcore player enjoy the best loot/items and the casual player is left in the dust.

I compare it to playing poker. Imagine playing 1-2 poker with a 1,000,000 BR vs so0mebody with a 100 BR. They are going to lose, quickly.

Damn, FU EU guys.

200 Gold - 32
500 Gold - 74
1000 Gold - 134
2000 Gold - 266
3000 Gold - 396

Is about average here right now. Some blizzard account smash and grab took a few million gold out of the US economy when they busted a few big farming rings.

getting addicted to WoW at the end of my poker career taught me something really valuable about games:

if I want to learn a little discrete skill, online games are fine - Counterstrike, dawn of war, whatever - you get better over time, but you can always just suck, and you only play for as long as it entertains you. The second you're bored, you quit.

Same thing with offline strategy or role playing games - you save when you want and do something else.

But online games where you're competing against real people and you can make progress are humongous useless timesinks to me. I just get wrapped up in the useless strategy and minutia and forget to do productive things like stay up late on a worknight watching Deadwood season 2.

off of WoW, fantasy baseball and whatever for 1.5 years.

What do you think about the horsehit ending to Deadwood Season 3. So much built up drama...then hearst walks away unscathed, alma sells her claim and the camp is clueless...bullock losing his seat.

In a show where we root the badguys, then to see them lose was disheartening, espically with the char development.
I wanted to see Bullock/Swearengin draw some blood.

WoW sucks. The pvp is a joke, no skill involved at all

[/ QUOTE ]

casual PVP requires no skill or teamwork. PVP get interesting with a ten man "vented" team, vs a similar team. Skill is def involved. The grind from rank 1-14 is a joke, and should play no part in gear or rewards.

I don't have a question. I would like to tell a story. Once upon a time, I was an Undead Warlock or whatever, totally dedicated to both WoW and to the evil alliance of which I was a part. In these early days, although we had crude maps, we were not sure of exactly every landing area and how they may change with the addition of ships etc into the game.

So, I end up with my bony cold tired dumb ass swimming the entire shore of whatver that stupid continent is named thank the sweet Lord God that I have forgotten its name. Swimming and swimming, describing the crags, describing the other crags, describing the lack of crags. At any time, if I ventured too far out to sea, I would drown and have to start again from God knows where. It was endless, until, finally, I reached a sandy shore where I could drag my festering carcass to safety.

Well that lasted about 3 minutes until some [censored] called the humans on me. I might as well have [censored] all their daughters up the ass the way they came at me. I summoned my devil steed and made south for whatever that south city is. I didn't make it 467 paladins pwned my ass for the next year and I couldn't travel 14 feet outside of territory before alarms were kicking my ass.

Great game, lots of fun.

awesome

which method did you use for phase 1 nef?

[/ QUOTE ]

long story but to be honest we got "lucky". No one really knew how to advance through stage 1 and there was lots of weird theories like just trying to survive and kiting them around or MCing them or whatever. We tried some stuff that didn't work, finally said "hey lets just try splitting the raid and killing them". We got to stage 2 as one side collapsed and the other half was about to get overrun. From there it wasn't hard at all other than defining our stage 1 strat and learning all the stage 2 shouts and what they did (and making our UI mod) and then of course the obligatory stage 3 wipe we when got to it (despite me telling everyone what I thought was going to happen which was 100% right except I guessed 25% instead of 20% [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img])

Explain how aggro works and how much each warrior ability gives and compare it to the aggro abilities of druids.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is so complicated. Every move generates "hate" against the mob they are fighting. As long as you have the most hate built up, you retain aggro. Tanks haveseveral abilites to build hate; Shield slam, sunder armour, Heroric strike, revenge. As long as you keep the "hate" numbers you recieve from these moves abouve the "hate" of any other palyer, you have aggro on the mob and should keep it centered on you.

When a player has a "critical strike" or devastating move aggro may be drawn and the mob may begin targeting that player, if their hate rises aboves the MT's hate level for the phase of the encounter. Thsi usually results in the offending player to die and scream /raid NO HEALS?......wtf /gquit

Whis=ch results in the MT saying , "dude dont pull aggro, and you wont die."

Rouges/mages, Armss fury warriors suck in this regard.


Im not sure how to compare it to drOODs, other than to say warriors inate moves generate more hate and make them better tanks than a bear form druid.

In end game instaces druids heal and invenreratte (SP?). Not tank.

[skunkworks]

Druid bear form attacks receive a large percentage threat bonus, esp Maul which causes boatloads of aggro. You'd really be surprised how effectively a bear can tank pre-MC.
