Anonymous supposedly took down Oakland PDs website yesterday. Also, Anonymous supposedly took down Darknet child porn sites on Tor which seems impossible and completely awesome. Looks like some new cats joined Anonymous who actually get shit done.

That's interesting to know.

P.S...... I just fixed a deader to also declare this video *quality

If people watching FOX are dumb enough to believe them then the problem is not just FOX News.

However, I applaud Anonymous for shutting down CP sites on Tor which is probably one of the only things in recent memory that I would consider to be noble. Plus, think of all of the information they might have on right wing politicians and fundamentalist religious leaders now; watch out you creepy fucks.

I cancelled my account last week...this won't bring me back to the game. I'm off to try SW:TOR and if that isn't great well I guess I'll have to play something else. I liked WoW a lot which is why I played it for 6 years...that's enough for one game I think.

You poor thing. Come, rejoin society.

Yeah, I don't know why people are reacting badly to this. The Panderen have been part of the brewfest and we've known they exist, so no surprise they finally made them playable.
I personally don't know if it will bring me back. If Star Wars: The Old Republic sucks, then I may come back after this comes out... and I activated a free account to play with off and on for now since my regular account is deactivated.
I look forward to Diablo III more at the moment, thanks to SW:TOR, but if it wasn't for that, I would probably be more excited. I do PVE only, I don't do dungeons and certainly never raids, and hate PVP, so some of the other upcoming games are of little interest to me. WoW is the only MMO that has any appeal to solo PVE players, the others seem to favor PVP or dungeons and raids with groups (I guess one would say I should look at Elder Scrolls or Dragon Age, but I like how WoW plays more). I really wish they were releasing information on Titan this year though... even a tease would do for now, but they said they aren't ready to do anything about that yet.

I've been beta testing SW:ToR and it's turned WoW into a memory for me now at this point. That's all I can say though really.


Which means it's lightyears ahead? I've been leveling through Cataclysm several times and the writing for the quests is great...just hilarious and engaging at times. However it is still just writing in my game...to me that's the biggest leap forward in engaging the audience...voices. I can't remember the last time I had the sound on in WoW...there's nothing interesting.

Yea but some have this little spinner tail thing thats like a motor boat propeller, I would assume you can be a living thing and still have a motor. I mean whats the definition of motor ?

mo·tor/ˈmōtər/
Adjective: Giving, imparting, or producing motion or action.

So although there is a logical difference, I dont think there is much of definition difference

I don't mean to pick on you mgr, but you don't mean that. You don't want our economy and our international prestige to take a serious unrecoverable blow. Unlike the gov't shutdown stunts, every ordinary american will suffer if they don't raise the debt ceiling.

Who needs Osama and our international rivals, when you got Boner and Can'tor ready to deliver a major self inflicted wound?>> ^MarineGunrock:
To be clear, I support raising the ceiling ONLY if there's a workable plan to reduce a LOT of spending and closing loopholes that let fatcats make millions and pay little to no taxes.

... a fully voiced MMo with a potentially (and being as it's Bioware, I'd say I'm more prone to say likey) epic storyline that varies from class to class...
Pretty sure that's innovative.

I'm pretty sure that hiring more people to speak the lines isn't innovative in the least. It's cool for sure. We'll see how the epic personal storyline part turns out. As far as the actual gameplay, I haven't seen anything impressive or new or interesting.
I'm much more interested in Guild Wars 2... if you want to see innovation in MMOs, that's where it's at.


They've brought the radial chat wheel to an MMo, and added in the option to have multiple people in a storyline conversation.

I'm interested as to how that'll work, because I like being the good guy and the friend I generally play games with tends to be a dick. So I'm curious as to how the good-cop bad-cop thing is going to play out. However, I think you're dismissing a fully voiced MMo a little too hastily. Adding voices into a game adds in a completely new level of depth, instead of just skipping through quest text you actually progress and converse with the world around you.

I'm curious as to what you see in GW2 as innovative, as far as I can tell the only semi new thing is dynamic combat, and dynamic quests to a point. The ability to dodge attacks or hide behind a shield is interesting, but I'm not commenting more until I've seen balancing addressed. Age of Conan already partially touched on that with its shielding and dodging mechanics (you get 3 shields and 3 places to put them, front, and sides. The more shields per side, the less damage you take when hit from there, but it opens up a weakness on an unshielded side. And sidestepping gave buffs towards attacking or defending depending on which way you went.)

Dynamic quests as it was described to me sounds like Besieged from FFXI, Open Quests from WAR, and Rifts.. from Rift. You're sitting in town, or out in a forest. Suddenly, the enemy is upon us and there's a call to arms. You spend the next however many minutes slaughtering mobs and trying to save NPCs. If there's more types of quests then that, that's a horse of a different colour, but if that's it then that's also not innovative.

Not having traditional "Tank" or "Healer" roles is also going to be in SW:TOR, and is in FFXIV to a point.

And although FFXI has covered this, too, the party system in SW:TOR (with NPC's, not players) means that you never have to actively look for a party, you'll be able to have one of your own to continue to tackle content.

The way it goes now is basically, there IS next to no room for innovation, most of the stuff has been tried, and unless it's in WoW then it's likely flopped. The game that realized this and embraced that is Rift, which seemingly took the "best of" a lot of MMo's out there and refined it into their own.

So don't take this post the wrong way, I'm actively looking for your input on the subject, but why do you feel Guild Wars 2 is innovative?

I didn't even know about this until seeing this video and it made me tear up. What he did was wrong, yes but how many Catholic priests and republicans come forward and admit something of this nature AND actually seem honest about their guilt?

Weiner is an incredible politician and his career should not suffer for this - his personal life, probably but not his career - and with the Silk Road drug website now in the media spotlight - Tor might as well be in the spotlight as well. I'm willing to bet that there are a few politicians abusing that program for really evil & creepy reasons. They had better watch the %^$^ out if they think what Weiner did was THAT bad....

Oh I agree we need a solid virtual world/sandbox so very badly for those of us who just don't really enjoy Eve. But if your going to play an upcoming Themepark MMOG, GW2 is easily your best bet. At least they are trying to get away from WoW and the stream of lookalikes that dominate the genre at the moment. Even ToR is trying it's best to be as similar to WoW as it can get.

Oh and for the record I think the upcoming MMOG with the best chances of being a damn good sandbox game is the World of Darkness MMOG. Still a ways off though.
