Hey, all you have to do is poop in a fancy pattern. Even an orc could do that.

oh well...
I had planned to ask what was being done about creep npcs attacking creeps and the Monster Play
Tol Ascarnen - NPC Hornblower will not spawn after completing pre-reqs.
I played my warg occasionally during the period stoff, twas indeed a tough time for wargs.. but moreover for creeps overall. I wasn't particularly regular as I was playing Reaver, but on top of Rat, some very good wargs rose through the ranks. You could still make inf, but you died a lot so was tough. The ones who stuck at it grafted ranks back then and really derserved them.
Personally that was why I chose that period to try and get my rating up to see how high it would go from time to time; because it was bleeding hard at the time. Wargs made less infamy then as a fair few were new and because it takes an environment with dispersed freeps, which there were few of, most freeps were grouped during that period (not necessarily raided up, but grouped, with the exception of champs and mini's who were riding the wave of creep woes).
It was a particularly difficult time to be a creep. Warleaders made a fair bit during the era because creeps were much more inclined to group as times were hard; even BA's were largely grouping so the shared pool was high for warleaders overall compared to wargs who would miss a lot of the kills raids were getting.
As it happens I was mostly playing reaver during the period, which trust me was way way harder than warg and still is. These observations are made from regularly being creepside during the era and at the heart of the action so I stand by them.
Reaver was hit hard too, both Reaver and Warg dps wasn't scaled properly and it got worse with the first update when mitigations for everyone were messed up.
Which was nerfed the most is impossible to say, let's just conclude that the dps classes took a hard blow.
There's many reasons why Warleaders made more infamy than wargs(and reavers too according to the charts), reasons I tried to explain to all the people who just said "no, it is not possible that warleaders made more infamy than wargs", where several trolled the debate to pieces, trying to make fun out of my claims without having a clue about what they were talking about.
Warleaders were pretty well off(very relative) along with Blackarrows for quite a while, according to the stats.
And yes, Wiley, a lot of new wargs rose up through the ranks during this period, which is nice ofc. Veteran wargs stopped playing or played other characters. I noticed many freeps going creep as well because they felt they needed a challenge. Kudos to them.
In conclusion, it was the worst period I've ever experienced for creeps(wargs) since I started warging late SoA, and Warleaders earned more infamy than both reavers and wargs for a period of time.

Probably because WLs have no choice but to group. Whenever there is raid action, WL's will be involved. BA's were FOTM during RoI which is why they were better off.

Might be! There are many reasons to why it was so, I am looking at the result; That warleaders were inf-winners compared to reavers and wargs for quite a number of weeks. This is not to show that warleaders are op or anything, it's just to finish up a discussion we had in ooc. I don't make false claims.

Nice action late last night. We were outnumbered by a group of rk's and mini's so we were pretty much forced to hug TA. Obviously the freeps didnt like this so they bribed 3 trolls to attack us (yes necro, the bug happened again). First we tried to reset them by running around in TA but after a while we were forced to flee from our own keep before the trolls finaly reseted at wtab. Was a bit hilarious tho.
Little creeps. You think you can comprehend my linguistic power. I can, in my superior modesty, tell you that I am far beyond the scope of your completely not unfairly-diminished capabilities of language. I am not an arrogant individual, but I am a Universe away from your understanding.
You attempt to correct my accidental typos. I never overstep my abilities, but I am infallible. I am open to criticism, but you are not capable of pointing out any legitimate flaws in me.
I humbly thank you.

hey guys small update on my gw2 guild, the website address is now http://theblackguard.guildlaunch.com/ hope to see you all on the gunnars hold server in the next beta or on august the 28th when it launches :3
hey guys small update on my gw2 guild, the website address is now http://theblackguard.guildlaunch.com/ hope to see you all on the gunnars hold server in the next beta
Please don't tell me that beta is this weekend.. Otherwise I gotta count 5 people out of the raid I arranged
SWTOR hasn't flopped. Free server transfers have breathed new life into it, although I think the expectations of it being an uber new WoW killer were too optimistic.
I think that GW2 will really draw in the PVP'ers of this game. It seems to have all the features of a good PVP game. But I won't be playing it myself.

Don't think it will flop but well time will tell at least it promises nice open pvp like in lotro only with some balance

SWTOR did flop big time i mean 3 eng servers is all that is active and now they are bleeding members again because there are ques of 1000+ ppl at prime time... and ppl are not taking it nicely that they have to wait for 1h30min to get on the game lol.
There are rumors going about it going ftp too but well we will see about that

Well, I'm loving it and having 200+ people on the Republic and Imperial Fleets at any given time seems good to me. The queues have never been that long to me. But keep in mind that the majority of their players are on the American servers.
There have been rumours of F2P since release, but I do not have a problem with it tbh. F2P is a good business model and I think subscription only games are kind of a thing of the past now.

I still thoroughly enjoy it, though I would not mind seeing EA get a bit of a financial crippling tbh.
I had a go for a while after launch and it did have some very nice touches, but some serious flaws but worse I found the whole game too simplistic. I admit my memory of is a little hazy now, but imagine this, you decide to take up crafting - you can either:
1) Make weapons which costs almost every penny you can muster to get the recps needed to make worthwhile guns/lightsabers.
OR
2) pick another craft that lets you harvest nodes that drop cash - I don't mean nodes that have items that sell well on the AH or vendor well - I mean it literally spat gobs of cash at you. There was no problem at all hanging out places where the mobs are all grey to you and hoover up every free cash node.
If you do pick (1) and burn through all your money, you find at level cap you can just do a few dailies and pick up BETTER quality weapons than your crafter can make who had to take a 3rd remortgage his house and sell his grandmothers kidneys for.
I didn't hit level cap, but combat was very basic indeed - no such thing as mobs doing special attacks where you need to do x not to take distributed damage/ avoid big AoE / remove corruption / use wound/disease e.t.c pots or anything. Just tank, dps, cc & heal - that's it, whilst each class had a small buff to give - there was no meaningful buffing class.
There was also some minor but very annoying aspects. For example I like to make all my alts unique - however in SWTOR you can pick your last name at lvl30 - then ALL your alts forevermore are stuck with the same last name ?? No good explanation is ever given.
The choices you made to become more 'good' or 'evil' had little real impact. One of my alts was a republic jedi (i.e. on the good side) which made evil choices every chance she got and ran around with red lightsabers (like Darth Vader uses) and despite dripping evil force everywhere I trod, no one battered an eye - not even the head of the Jedi Council who occasionally called me up to help save the world once again. 'Help us blatantly evil Jedi, you are our only hope' ?
Not that the game has nothing to offer, there were some very nice touches - the questing system for one, the story behind each quest is far more fleshed out and you do feel there is a reason you are doing something rather than just killing another 10 boars. Overall though it was just very simplistic for me, the superior questing system just didn't make up for the extremely basic combat and the horribly, horribly broken crafting system. I'll probably take another look in a couple of years when they have had time to improve on the game significantly.
I hate crafting in every game I play, so I cannot really speak for that.
As regards decisions making choices. It depends on the class. On Sith Inquisitor or Warrior you can make choices which can result in the death of a companion. You have to go a lot deeper into the storyline to actually find choices that make a big difference. But, from a resources and financial point of view, there is only so much difference every choice can make.

Good to see you again, my friend. More of the same really, freeps incredibly powerful, huggers, store hoggers and noobs on both sides. No better than it was when you left unfortunately.

Not sure why it was removed from the known issues list. Has it worked at all in the last 6 months?
