When I imploded and brought about the end of Forgotten Fury as it was, there were quite a few variables. I fell out of love with the job of being a GM and an officer corps full of children (Enraged anybody?) was harder on me than it should have been.<br /><br />But I have news for you or anyone who reads this: I'm not sorry. At the end of the day WoW is just pixels on a screen. Forgotten Fury was a toxic environment of childishness and silliness, but it was just a game. Oh where am I now? I am in a happy place way away from the constrictions of a subscription based MMO, still IRL successful, and wish nothing but the best for my old guildmates whatever it is you are doing these days.<br /><br />Cheers!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-43444708591068290592012-02-25T18:23:00.045-09:002012-02-25T18:23:00.045-09:00You started to malke so,e interesting points then ...You started to malke so,e interesting points then you showed your true colors.<br /><br />Maybe you should've have started with your last comment and saved us all the trouble of even thinking of giving ou some credit.gfxstarhttp://gfxstar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-8249786774564607492012-01-31T06:38:01.778-09:002012-01-31T06:38:01.778-09:00Ive played a commando a bit and the Light/Dark cho...Ive played a commando a bit and the Light/Dark choices on republic seem a lot less dark.

Star Trek (original series) had the same back and forth play with logic vs emotion in the kirk, spock and mccoy triumvirate with kirk representing a blend of the two. Certainly none of their actions were evil but their motivations came from very different sources.<br /><br />The dark side does have an evil bend to it though, its philosophies do align itself with many characteristics we consider evil (causing pain and suffering in others, for pain and suffering's sake). But Adgamorix's post is spot on in saying that the light side doesn't seem to let morality get in the way of some of its choices. Light side seems more concerned with the outcome with little care to the path taken there.<br /><br />A logical, "big picture" course of action can certainly be characterized as evil and I think you're seeing that in this game. We're also quite familiar with seeing logic and "big picture" used to justify evil actions in our own world.WeWhoEatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-1282306476233982352012-01-10T10:40:29.053-09:002012-01-10T10:40:29.053-09:00Not sure if Light vs Dark is purely good vs evil. ...Not sure if Light vs Dark is purely good vs evil.

It is still a reasonable increase in stats and that seems to be the only real upgrade. I was working with two 2 set bonuses, helm and shoulder t12 for mana regen for heroic fights and the t13 for divine favor mainly used on strong aoe heal portion to reduce the mana consumption. Seems to be one of the biggest times i use it is to compensate for Holy radiance spell cost. Although i did also just get the Maw of the Dragonlord off of Deathwing which has increased my aoe healing a bit as well, no limits to healed targets with crit capability. 10k heals per person upon crit depending upon your stats of course. Also i think your post is awesome. Very straight forward and without all the wow political jargon. Concluding on the early congratulations on writing your novel. <br /><br />http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/bladefist/Solanar/simpleChadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564941441001800624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-35211911962915557442011-12-14T12:35:46.824-09:002011-12-14T12:35:46.824-09:00Aye, I expect that nerf as well.

While I completely agree with you that...@Anonymous<br /><br />While I completely agree with you that Adgamorix is incorrect about the raid healing potential of Holy Paladins, I don't believe Ultraxion is a good indicator. Kalecgos' buff which increases Spell Haste by 100% and reduces mana cost by 75% just make Holy Radiance absolutely ridiculous because of the extra casts and the extra ticks on each cast. It basically wipes out the downsides that Adgamorix was pointing out.<br /><br />A better example would be Warlord Zon'ozz 10m Normal, where in the top 10 healers by HPS there are 3 Holy Paladins, of which over 50% of their healing was Holy Radiance, or even better, look at 25m Normal, Paladin icons *everywhere*, top 9 out of 10 on Morchok, Warlord Zon'ozz, top 9 out of 10, Yor'sahj, top 7 out of 10. The list goes on. The lists for Heroic mode 10 and 25 man is a little more balanced, but Holy Paladins are still disproportionately represented.<br /><br />Diving into each of these Holy Radiance was the top heal (The initial hit plus ticks), with Illuminated Healing (mastery? Huzzah!) and Light of Dawn not far after.<br /><br />Adgamorix is flat out wrong, and frankly I expect a nerf to Holy Radiance in the near future. As a Holy Paladin, I expect it, Blizzard loves giving us new toys and breaking them shortly thereafter, though frankly, this toy is too powerful..Talarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684944568000522986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-12711974502848556512011-12-13T20:26:13.594-09:002011-12-13T20:26:13.594-09:00Where are you getting this argument "we'r...Where are you getting this argument "we're certainly not as powerful (or efficient) as any other class when it comes to pure raid/AoE healing"?

Whilst mmo's are a cheap form of entertainment, people are more choosy, savvy, picky, selective, then they have ever been. Especially when interest rates are at an all time low. I think people are finding other, cheaper, more basic forms of entertaining, hosting parties is becoming more popular, everyone needs to eat right.<br /><br />If people do chose an MMO as a form of entertainment, rather than spending that time updating job skills because they are scared, rightly so, that will lose or have lost their job. Then they need to be 100% sure that they got great entertainment from it. I don't think an ageing game on it's fourth expansion just excites people enough to fork out money. Especially if it is based on a joke, Easter egg, largely unpopular race from a game released 8 years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-217859712334725962011-10-25T18:43:38.475-08:002011-10-25T18:43:38.475-08:00November 5th, brisket and 2 pork butts hitting the...November 5th, brisket and 2 pork butts hitting the grill, hot apple cider with spiced rum, few home made sides, and a smore's buffet. bring me some damn cake.<br /><br />I think the goblin experience is why i don't like the idea of pandas. the goblins are a cool race, and i don't mind the toons running around, but every damn thing surrounding them is stupid 1973 hannah barbara sound effects. i'm afraid that pandas will follow the same trend into more silliness. the cross factional thing feels lazy, and the lore making a long time peaceful race instantly start stabbing each other in the neck will probably be bad.<br /><br />pokemon? i have a mini diablo so bring it on.EWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16046793515511432265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4407860231382967590.post-91873170747238231752011-10-24T04:22:00.167-08:002011-10-24T04:22:00.167-08:00From dungeons and dragons to pandas and pokemon. I...From dungeons and dragons to pandas and pokemon. It isn't just sad, its pathetic. All they need is to dumb it down a bit more, add some motion controls and port it to the Nintendo Wii. This game is for toddlers.<br /><br />The D3 bundle is a flare gun, a distress signal, a call to man the life boats. It tells anyone who is paying attention that Blizzard has no faith in the WoW IP to stand on its own merit any longer. Instead they have to dangle the carrot of their highly anticipated other game in order to try to secure as many subscriptions as they can. Of course the fine print they don't tell you is that when you cancel your WoW subscription, you immediately lose your access to Diablo III. <br /><br />Many of my old friends from the game have already quit. For many more this was the last straw. For anyone else, I have to conclude that many of them are trapped in a marriage of convenience with this game. Its safe. Its familiar. Wake up people! The old girl isn't what she used to be and she's not getting any younger or prettier.<br /><br />The only way your opinion matters in life centers on where and how you spend your money. There is no way in hell Blizzard sees a nickle from me spent on WoW ever again. I'll be perfectly content playing for free on a private vanilla server with about 5000 other people.Evidicusnoreply@blogger.com
