It's an upgrade install from windows 7 maybe thats why it works, I don't know. But I have had no issues.
Easily fixed get into a live chat they are very helpful.

Having said that who are you kidding? if you cant afford the 15$ for a couple days you sure as hell cant afford a lawyer.
This may be harsh but. LFG is supposed to be for organizing groups not your personal help desk. It's practically unusable because people like you use it as a chat channel.

Use area for questions your results will be much better. Personally I would have been tempted to hassle you as well just because you are part of the problem with LFG that makes it practically useless.

I think it's worth buying just for the journey to level 60 the combat alone is worth it. There's nothing saying you have to keep playing if the endgame doesn't suit you. I would recommend playing on a PVP server just so you have that option as well once you do hit endgame.
Yup they did the same for me as well i was back up and running in less than 10 minutes.

Thanks GM Mary !

They may be having issues but they will work to fix it if you give them the opportunity.
Yup i like it
Sounds to me like you all are looking for a first person shooter, not a MMO.

There will always be imbalance in an MMO it is the nature of the game. The whole point of the game is improving your character and someone else will always have better gear. Skill can make or should make a difference but it will always come down to min/max unless you only have one endgame gear set and that would be incredibly lame.

PVP and PVE gear should be equivalently difficult to attain and equivalently useful in either game play format. I'll never understand this idea that you should separate PVE and PVP gear. Gearing should be about preference not bottlenecking.


It's impossible to make them equally difficult to attain. PvE bosses can be exploited, PvPer can win trade gear. One will always be easier to get at max teir then the other. If you miss ake them equal in stats people forget the harder path and just do the easier path. Players NEVER want to play what is more fun. They always want to play what is easiest. This has been proven in every MMO.

The whole reason for two sets is to give the two playstyles progression. The third playstyle of people who want to do both don't matter.


They do matter, actually. Segregation by essentially creating two distinct games within an MMO is problematic in that it alienates a lot of players from content they want to experience but don't want to invest twice the time (and shouldn't have to). The only solution is to, as I said, make progression equivalent. it's not as hard as you seem to think it would be. The hardest part is determining appropriate time investments.

If you're concerned about competitive PVP then the best route would be to do what Guild Wars does and have competitions that use equivalent gear across the board.



What? No everything should not be equal. Making everything the same only reduces choice and individual specialization.

There is nothing wrong with having different goals and having to work for both.

Why not just have every one start with the same armor they would use all game that way you could just do whatever you want. Sounds lame to me and not a game I would be interested in at all.

I appreciate having different goals to work for. I dont have any desire to play a game that wants everyone to do everything. I want a game that makes me work for my goals the more opportunity for multiple paths the better
if you did want to try building one i would go with something like this

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2428843&CatId=336

and add a video card like http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1076246&CatId=7005

that brings you in at like $500 in parts then you need windows which willl run you another $100 unless you know someone that has a copy ....

That setup has room to grow though.

Hmmm you know, I dont know that I would build one. Its always nice to know what is in your machine and doing it yourself is awesome and not that hard.

Best buy has this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/CyberpowerPC+-+Gamer+Xtreme+Desktop+-+8GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/5470711.p?id=1218651511461&skuId=5470711

At 950.

Thats a pretty solid machine and you avoid messing up a build. I am not sure you can build that machine a whole lot cheaper. maybe you could shave 1-200 off that price but it wouldn't be a whole lot.
