What parts of it are retarded exactly?  I honestly fail to see what is so bad about most of this stuff.

The only general thing I'd really call retarded are some of the plot elements. And, of those, the only one that jumps out immediately as unforgivably stupid is why Thrall would leave Garrosh in charge of the Horde. I mean, really. Did we need each faction being led by the stupidest person on their side? Really?

That's how half the adventure/heroism narratives out there even manage to stand up in the first place!

I dunno. Even by those standards... Varian and Garrosh are... pretty stupid.

Uh, that's not happened. He's put Garrosh in charge of Orgrimmar's defense. Thrall is still the Warchief.

And Varian is totally justified in his actions, I might add.

So is Garrosh.  Only because he is retarded, but it is totally justified.  You don't go giving violent sociopaths a locked room full of coma patients and a knife and then blame the sociopath.

WoW already had bad plot that is a guilty pleasure to partake in like Dragon Lance, but fuck the Garrosh plot line.  Edit - Case in point.

Apparently Orgrimmar will be rebuilt and reinforced with steel, it now looks a lot like Garrosh strongholds...

Note for those that do not play the game, this isn't reinforce concrete style with a Steel internal framework to help maintain shape.  This is walls with steel slapped onto them.  You know, retarded.

Garrosh really needs to die in general.

40K or Fantasy? Because, debatably, orcs still suck at it in Fantasy.

Don't rock lobbas use a different (and notably worse) misfire chart then most artillery though? Or am I rusty in my knowledge?

Oh hi

So yeah, more info coming out.  Interesting stuff.  Still considering dropping the game at the next expansion anyway (not because of the content, it is good in theory from what they have said,  it is just more of whether I really feel like even playing an MMO anymore).

Standard artillery stuff, although you need a direct hit for good damage, the splash damage is weaksauce.  Of course this was back in third edition, no idea what the current rules are like.  I dropped Warhammer like a hot potato when Clan War came out.

1 year anniversary of Perfect World International!

If anyone started playing PW last September (maybe Laggy?), you have a free mount waiting for you on your char.

Also, if you kept any gold in your account, sell now.  It's going for as much as 1 million coins due to borken anniversary pack in cash shop.

I don't think we started in September. I think it was November/December that we started in.

You don't want me to come back though. I'd ask for my ice wings back =-)

Speaking of! Laggy and I have decided to hop back onto PWI for a bit, Cappy. Think i can get my wings back? I don't need any of the rest of the treasure trove I gave you, but you did promise me the wings back if I asked ;-;

Oh sure, you can have them back.  I even upgraded them so they're faster.  But... why come back now?  Interested in the upcoming expansion?

Pretty much, yeah. Figured coming back now to get used to things again would be worth it. Case in point: Laggy and I decided to run fb29 by ourselves for the hell of it and he ended up running into the room of death and getting himself killed.

Still on KeithChiemi. You can just mail them or message me in game.

Final Fantasy 11 combined all the worst elements of every MMO ever. It had forced grouping, exponential EXP curves, zero character customization, the worst community of min-maxers that has ever assembled, and best of all, EXP loss on death that could level you down. So you could die, lose EXP, level down, and then lose the ability to use half your gear.

I would rather try to fuck a broken lightbulb.

Cap'n K, why's the anniversary pack broken, out of curiosity?
<Eph> When Laggy was there to fuel my desire to open crates, my life was happy.  Now I'm stuck playing a shitty moba and playing Anime RPGs.
