Furor On Nerfing Content

January 24, 2003 fohguild.org

nadime:

We’ve had a Hinvat Deathbringer pop on us during a TZ (script) kill… but I don’t remember those guys AE rampaging. Did they change those guys?

Furor:

Yes.The entire event is so severly gimped now from its first two incarnations that I can hardly call it the same thing. I’m not sure what beta-board crybaby is responsible for this, but I know it was one or a group of them (probably some gimp in KTF that has Jahar’s ear and cock).

You Mean Weapon Speed Matters?

January 6, 2003 fohguild.org

Kreugen:

In short, damn near every single two handed weapon in PoP, in every tier including the elemental planes, take a huge step backwards and are inferior to top end weapons in Luclin - which themselves were not significant upgrades over top end Velious weapons.Boy am I tired of this subject.

Do You Think Maybe We Drink Too Much?

December 16, 2006 elitistjerks.com

Praetorian:

This argument has been laid out many times, and it rears its head in threads about raid encounters, about real-money trading, about professions, about burnout, and so on and so forth. My aim here is not necessarily to break any new ground, but rather to summarize the main problems with consumables as they currently exist in WoW, and with alchemy in particular, as they relate to raid design and player enjoyment.

Exclusive Factions; Exclusive Rewards

June 30, 2001 legacyofsteel.net

Tigole:

Today you’ll have to indulge me in a little rant. I’m sitting here waiting for my ride to show up — gonna be gone until Sunday night. But this game just has me thinking right now. . .more like boggling. Now, we all knew the upgraded North Wing loots were coming. They *needed* to be upgraded. Crap was dropping for the effort required to kill that stuff. But the reason they upgraded was for balance right? All of what I have to say is null and void if you disregard the notion of balance. Please work with me here, Pro-Giant people, I put up with your months of whining — I even backed you up. Now look at things from a Pro-CoV perspective. Continue Reading »

Frozen Biblical Figure Of Choice

June 8, 2001 legacyofsteel.net

Tigole:

Verant employees still stumped as to how LoS’ers get Frozen Moses to KaelThings are looking grim for LoS, folks. We were doing a standard Tormax run and got caught using our “secret weapon” by some hidden GMs. As you can see we had Tormax down to about 25% when all of the sudden we released the Sleeper, Veeshan and Mooto in Kael. Mooto, apparently an enchanter now, charmed the Sleeper and was raping Veeshan three times till Tuesday until the GM’s brought the zone down. At that point our guild was disbanded and all 149 of us were suspended. Little do those stupid GM’s know we have since reformed and are now known as <Zerg Rush> Continue Reading »

Whoops, we broke it

December 6, 2000 legacyofsteel.net

Tigole:

It seems that the SCREENSHOT feature is disabled for a few days. That sure makes my job a lot of fun. Before all you l33t hax0rs start posting on our board about some program I could use to take screens, just let me wallow in my bitching. My eyes are burning through my goddamn skull from staring at HARSH, GLARING, WHITE all night. Did I mention I really hate the fucking snow? I can’t read any of the text on those white backgrounds. Looks like whoever made some of those Velious zones played a little too much Super Mario Brothers back in the day. Nothing funner than slippery floors! Ccc. Dear god. Well, I did see some bad-ass stuff and I managed to get a nice upgrade to my old Diamodine Earring. I also saw some bad-ass Mo Faka’s that I look forward to watching our guild beat-down very soon. I’m a little wary of killing stuff in Velious because of all the faction rumors flying around. Not to mention that the faction was Fubar’d today so you could not tell which factions you were wrecking. Boy, nothing funner than Mazes, Quests, Slippery Floors and Faction Concerns! Verant, quit reading my mind!
