Learned Helplessness

 Mark As Read    

I don't like games where randomness dominates. Some can be fun, if we take them completely unseriously, but the less your actions ultimately matter, the less interesting the whole thing is. As the non-controlled element becomes larger, the virtue of winning goes to zero and the frustration of losing goes to infinity (or also zero, Learned Helplessn...

Snappy One-Liners

 Mark As Read    

One of my main concerns while watching many of the videos the Guild Wars 2 folks have been sharing are the little one-liners the characters shout when they attack. You know, things like "Take that!". I knew right away I would get sick of hearing that sort of thing all the time. Thankfully, they agree Snappy One-Liners is a post from: Kill Ten Rats...

Some coastal areas made it through Cataclysm without much damage, but Darkshore is not one of those areas.

Last week's beta build had no working shot rotations, with the focus cost of so many things — especially arcane shot — being bugged. Thus there wasn't a whole lot of testing that could be done. So instead I passed what time I had (when I wasn't in the woods, that is) gathering up every
