I play video games for about 90% of my life so I wouldn't be the person to say it is a waste of time.




Just start doing drugs or something Lolffle waffle.

I'm on the same schedule basically, working 4pm-1am, so no chance for a group most days. At least the Vindictus servers come back online today. Free hacknslash mmo for anyone who cares. Going to need a decent comp tho, its a pretty damn big upgrade from flash



Just to be clear I made sure to say anyone, not directed to you. I figured some random asshole would come in and make that lame argument, which I guess could have been any of us on any given day.

@ Hardcore Comments.

1. I like the merger idea
2. I think 90% of the people who own "unspawnables" would cry
3. There should be an option to: "Death" (= dead is dead) / "Respawn (self explanatory)
4. Arena should be returned to both SC / HC if none of the above is available.

What is annoying is that this new system has increased the chance of Death 3 times
3x EP solo'ing = 3 times the damage taken, 1 times the heal recieved, and 3 times longer to kill.

The only way as pointed out... do NOT explore, so that you do not encounter this issue, only thing wrong with this:
1. Low drops = less chance to get anything worth anything... shit 55-60% ee items are on MP @ 1fg... wtf happened there?
2. Less prof points plus 3x more chance in dying... hmmm not very optimal at all... to be honest I feel for HC, you die, you lose all... but now you lose chance to help keep you alive or kill faster
3. Slower levelling for melee, healer or hybrid healer... it now takes over 100 monster kills to gain one full % on your Experience bar compared to Arena being around 34 or more.

there is a shitload of good ideas that were implemented into this update, but, there are also alot of areas of the game that gave incentives and fun removed.

Personal like of the update:
AoE casting delay nerf... only note here... when you switch to melee, your character is still subjected to that delay... so it is not just CASTING DELAY (note you can switch while in that timeframe, but you can not make a physical attack or heal)

how do you think i put up with you?



where are you hanging out right now btw

Just jamming out to Evanescence and Within Temptation. (Yeah, I know that sounded gay but whatever, I like them)

You on UA vent all by yourself?

yeah trying to get my internet up to par enough to keep playing SC2.

Radio-wave internet? I guess the waves get weaker when the sun's down

It only cost like 40-50 bucks for somewhat good internet.

Sweety...i did not mean to offend anyone and certainly your last remark about SC players was kinda mean. SC players although don't rip (when they die) they work JUST as hard at skilling and getting profs as the next person. I understand the concept of taking risks and maybe losing gear due to internet servers/lag/dc's ...W/E...but why should HC players have to suffer more when they need to solo because of time zone issues and NOT being able to get a group and at high lvl's...taking EVEN MORE OF A RISK going solo??? IMO...HC slashers are expendable commodities as far as this GAME goes and i for one am a bit insulted that HC slashers are not even taken into account.

BTW..i have the best of the best as far as connection and comps go...so that is NOT the issue....i want to slash with groups anytime.. anyday... BUT... if i HAVE to ....make solo HC.. NOT so undesirable and so risky is all. Not asking for anyone to pat me on the back and hold my hand to help me lvl...just a bit of consideration as far as drop ratio and prof percentage if i HAVE to RISK all!!

I think his point, which I completely agree with by the way, is HC is a choice. You make that choice knowing full well what to expect and are given the option to not be apart of it. I would never want to see HC get changed, and I dont even play HC, or this game anymore for that matter. They enjoy the risk of dead = dead, and I wouldnt want to take that away from them just like we didnt want arena taken away from us.
