The best way to directly influence map return is by increasing the amount of monsters you encounter per map, this was achievable in the past league through rolling high pack size, extra magic monsters, then double Beyond if applicable; with 2.0 those mods had been reduced and/or merged with...
I also got a bunch of characters stuck at lvl87-89 since map progression is so damn tedious after 77s, can't bring myself to regrind the 74-75s just to build a base again, good thing they might test a new system in the one month league.
Was about to buy a "like-new" pair for $240 last Christmas, glad I didn't! This is an insanely nice deal, good lookout.
Also picked up cheap replacement cables since apparently the stock one is awful.
Playing the XIV beta really made me appreciate FF11's epic sense of depth, I'm not gonna miss the stupid xp grind or 3 hour HNM camps though.
It's not actual racism, just people in general being fucktards. When Asian players first came to EQ1/DAoC they were treated like shit too(at least on my...
hmmm, my EK witch got hit the hardest on all fronts :(...lost a good chunk of HP, 15% lower base damage and way less mana through ES nerfs that really messed with my aura setup, guess it's back to lolsummoner for map farming. I wonder how much did they actually reduce mob damage, I could barely...
If I ever manage to get a Bringer of Rain I might turn my Shadow wander into an Arcobatics dw...but I think it's gonna end pretty badly lol due to spell damage.
My gripe with the current system stems from the fact that it's far easier(at least for me) to get good returns from Determination by running Grace & using hybrid or evasion items/nodes on top of Iron Reflex instead of wearing high Armor(also gets insanely expensive) supported by raw Armor nodes...
Expected Inner Force to be toned down, it's so good at the moment that almost all of my characters have it; was hoping for actual armor changes...seems like going Iron Reflex and HP stacking still remains the best option for tanky types.
The preemptive QQ on the forums about "nerfs" are just...
I'll trade for the Chin sol if you can't find a buyer, making a retarded point blank totem build that'll likely fail but for the lulz!!

Also anyone just starting out or leveling an alt let me know, I have crap tons of uniques to hand out.
Between hardcore and default I must've rerolled over a dozen toons, some were even way up in the 60s too, but overall each one progressed faster and stronger than the last - don't be afraid to mess up your character, it's the best way to learn.
Make that 68 still nada...I'm just too stubborn. Even though it's 50% rarity, this unwise investment is starting to exceed the actual item value itself by a good margin.
6 Socketed a really bad ass chest w/ just 3 jewelers however, wonder how many fusings will this one take me?!
2 guilds I'm in are pretty deserted as well - but the thing is, a quick look at the members tells me most of them have no alts, no crafts, no personal stories, barely any exploration; just a mad blitz 50+hrs the 1st week w/ one cookie cutter spec to "end game", then complain about there's...
Feel the same way, GW2 overall is simply a much better game; I'm compelled to say TSW's story is more interesting...but whoever wrote the dialogues need to be dragged out and shot.
look in your AppData folder :\Local\SWTOR\betatest\settings
open client_settings.ini in notepad, add
AntiAliasingLevel = 4
DebugAdvEnviroLighting = true
below VerticalSyncState, above [Game]
May need to reset some graphic preferences back to high once you are in game, but works like a charm.

If you are on 32bit OS and have frequent CTDs(not disconnects, but an error window pops up and tells you Battlefield 3 has stopped working - appcrash bf3.exe) try this workaround: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/forum/threadview/2832654489427021500/1/
It appears to be a memory leak issue...
Welp, like every MMO Rift had reached its peak and slowly slipping toward the inevitable point of decline...my server was full 700+ queue during headstart, now it's barely medium pop on Saturday night! Judging from my rapidly shrinking friendsllist - most raiding guilds are having serious...
Played on Wolfsbane in beta, doesn't seem like I'd have a chance to get back in anytime soon though.
Made a character on Laethys last night, it was nearly full but today the population dropped to medium...not good. Gonna try Greybriar.
