Yeah, we should definitely do dungeons from time to time. I don't think that we want to raid exclusively, but it should be fun as an alternative to other forms of play. I've heard from a few different people that the server who is crushing in WvWvW is the server that everybody from 4chan rolled on (I'm assuming that people who aren't pacov know what 4chan is). So yeah, thats going to be tough. But they redo the matchups every few weeks, so our server
With regards to crafting: I think I'm going to mostly skip crafting. I really don't enjoy it, and collecting all that crap is tedious. I'll still gather for the xp. Maybe when prices stabilize I'll get into it.
Yeah, I'll probably be playing LoL at least some nights by early next week. We should do like Monday and Wednesday for GW2 nights so that we can do Tuesday and Thursday for LoL if people want to do both. I'm the one who yelled out the guild name, so I'm fine with it.
I'm really sad that I'm going to be out of town. It's always a lot of fun to be there right when the game launches to see the chaos. I had a ton of fun when I played DC Universe the second the servers went up. It wasn't a good game overall, but that first day was fun as hell - lots of great open world PvP as the two sides were fighting over places to do quests and level up.
I assume that a lot of us will be playing Guild Wars 2, so I figured that I'd start a thread on it. Prerelease is this Saturday. I personally am gone for the weekend, but plan on playing quite a bit on Monday (assuming they don't kill the servers prepping for release on Tuesday). I guess that Vlad is playing on Tarnished Coast, so I'll probably go there as well. My understanding is that server transfers are very pain free though, so it might not be a bi
[quote who="Bryff" reply="1506" id="3206431"]I can be a verbal punching bag. Actually I don't think I get raged on enough. In those fights people were saying to get corki, so when the fights broke out I went in and dazzled the corki. But nunu comes and ults and everyone dies, and I felt like I shoulda saved my dazzle for that. I think everyone should've been like OMG Bryff you suck what were you doing in that fight?! [no pun intended ]. Also it was funny
[quote who="AragornV" reply="1503" id="3206366"]I accept blame for my horrible Darius play. I had about 250 ping for the first 3-5min and Xin got a level on me, then I died in a close fight. That's what started the Xin snowball. To be honest, the game where I was Graves and stayed bot when we lost, I just didn't care anymore. The games had been so negative, I really wasn't interested in helping anyone else. If I did, blame would have been thrown around anyways. Terrible for the te
Let me also try and address the fundamental problem here: I think that the bitching is really a symptom rather than the problem itself. In pretty much any game, you will have people playing for different reasons. In the case of LoL, you have people who want to get better every game and frequently think about ways to improve. But you also have people who just want to relax from a long day at work and go pewpew. Now both of these ways of playing are equa
[quote who="pacov" reply="1498" id="3206219"]2nd - karl - you need to get a handle on your bitching. I know (eg really - I know) that I can be a dick and bitch folks out from time to time. I personally don't mind if you want to tear me a new one for acting like a tardo, but I KNOW that folks have been put off by you several times now when you go into your broken record mode of bitching. I completely understand why you do this, but you need to try to back off a little bit
I'm sorry for not being happy about some things tonight, but we REALLY need to make sure that people are listening to each other. Its a really big deal. There are a lot of things in this game that just require teamwork, and if we have people playing by themselves and instead of the team, it is going to frustrate everybody. If somebody says "we need to be here", please, at least try and be there. One team coordinating while your team is playing as individuals is o
[quote who="OMG_ZEX" reply="1464" id="3203240"]If you want to actually play to get better and practice instead of noob stomping you should either lane vs someone your skill level or jungle instead of stomping the shit out of peter or another new player. [/quote] To be fair, a big part of any ELO is stomping the shit out of the bad player. Even at 1600+ there are players who are either bad (somehow) or just are having a bad game. And the best way to win is still to exp
I'm sorry that I wasn't happy in that first game, but I do tend to get unhappy when the same dumb things happen repeatedly. One time things are fine. I typically don't get too upset when somebody makes a stupid face check or something. Everybody makes one time mistakes. But I am generally less pleased when the same mistake happens over and over. In the first game, we were literally unable to ever teamfight because of some silliness. After abou
[quote who="OMG_Shiro" reply="1446" id="3202900"]Well mayhaps my comment about ALL the new champions getting mobility is wrong. I do believe to be a viable pick a champion needs either mobility or cc though.[/quote] Generally maybe, but I don't even know if this is true. Kog doesn't have any mobility and not a whole lot of CC, but is viable. Morde was pretty powerful at one point too, although that was a while ago.
[quote who="OMG_Shiro" reply="1441" id="3202810"]Riot seems to want every new champ to have MASSIVE amounts of mobility and I feel like it is leaving the older champions in the dust. [/quote] Eh, I dont know about this. The last two AD carries are Draven and Varus, neither of which is really mobile. Most champs seem to be balanced around either having strong CC or mobility. Diana has some of both, but her balancing factor is that she has to get in close to do her t
[quote who="Thundercles" reply="1332" id="3197394"]Yeah, your guys issue of dividing teams on in house 5v5's pretty much boils down to the old saying "It takes two thieves to strike an honest bargain" Take two of the better (the two best if ego's allow this to be decided) players in the group and make them captains. Have one of them divide the remaining 8 players into two teams. The other captain gets to pick which of the teams he wants. Two theoretic
With the people we had tonight, there were 6 people who needed to be split evenly. Pacov, Jack, me, Jona, Cow, and Dude should be split 3-3 between the teams. Dude dominated his lane like half the time and was solid the other half, so he isn't exactly chopped liver and can hold his own against anybody we were playing with. Stomps were happening when those people were split 4-2 (or worse in the last game).
[quote who="Brago" reply="11" id="3194547"] Quoting Krazikarl, reply 10Lords (think heroes/champions from MoM, Elemental, HoMM) are game changers. A single lord can accomplish in short order what would take standard units a long time to accomplish. There will probably be balance issues later in the game, but early on, they're great! I really don't find Lords that powerful. They seem to be somewhere between Advanced and Elite units in strength. S

[quote who="OMG_Shiro" reply="1255" id="3193931"]If anyone ever surrendered a game where I happened to be 6/0 as the AD carry (I really wouldn't care how they were doing since being 6/0 means we clearly haven't even lost a teamfight yet), I would probably press the little x button on vent then the little x on league and go about having fun somewhere else for the day and maybe the next few after that. It would be pretty safe to say I wouldn't be a happy camper the next time I talke
[quote who="pacov" reply="1252" id="3193903"]No other part needed... if we are playing as a group and 1 person wants to play it out, you owe it to your pals to play it until the 1st team battle. Anything less is douchebaggery.[/quote] To be fair, I surrendered as soon as the vote came up and before you said not to surrender. I'm sorry that you didn't get to play out a game that you wanted to, but I voted before I heard what you wanted because I honestly didn'
I probably would have played that out in ranked, but we weren't going to win that. But a big part of the reason why I agreed to surrender is that I didn't want to hear Peter complain about random stuff like how Udyr built Treads and WE for the next 15 minutes while we slowly lost a series of teamfights. It was going to just make me angry and I don't really see how we could win unless they were openly incompetent, so I just wanted to get out of that to save my blood p
