DPS comparison
2010-03-23 00:00:00
I'll leave somebody more experienced to give you an in-depth answer on this, but as far as personal experience in PvP goes, I seem to always top the damage charts (at level 25 in a 21=29 bg). I out-dps every class, almost always, so damage wise were doing well. As for classes that are a pain...Paladins and Warlocks are my biggest problem, and warriors if they charge me before I see them coming. Rogue's aren't that big a deal at all unless they keep me comple...

600 Agi & Survival
2010-03-13 00:00:00
pre tBC the best geared hunters were also survival, it will just take really good gear before SV wins on dps.
and it is indeed 600 agi before lightning reflexes.

BM's! You getting better DPS with this Macro?
2010-03-04 00:00:00
I see a difference in layout but what is the actual difference in outcome of the macro? I only see Auto and Steady shot in both of those macros, how is one higher DPS, Higher mana than the other if Steady Shot is the only mana using shot in either macro?-Light travels faster than sound, which is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.Copying this from a relative thread. Need confirmation:
I weave in arcanes and multis when the situation calls for it. Apparently if your timers show you clipping auto-shots they ...

First day SV and kinda liked it..
2010-02-25 00:00:00
Hi guys..
Had my first day as SV yesterday, and actually found it quite fun playing.. Went a couple of raids and did ok, my DPS was almost at the same levels if not higher than pre patch. And when I learn this spec it gonna raise my DPS with a few hundred I think. I'm a DPS whore, which I think every raiding hunter should be.. "We kill stuff fast, that's our ticket to raids"
But it also raised a couple of questions to someone who has a bit exp with this playstyle
-Tried out the trapdancing thing on Malygos, I thought that if I placed a trap inside his hitbox (the red ring on the ground) the trap was gonna set of, but that didnt always happen!...

Sweden, South Korea Eye Taxation on Virtual Items
2009-10-17 00:00:00
Following China's lead, Sweden and Korea are working to clarify tax regulations to include in-game trade of virtual items, according to the BBC.
To be clear, we're not referring to the transfer of goods based on real money sales of in-game gold and other items. That's a cash business and already subject to tax laws.
The theory - at least in Sweden and Korea - seems to be that since some virtual items are readily exchangeable for cold, hard cash, swapping such goods may trigger a tax...

Gamers' world reveals secrets of the next epidemic
2009-09-23 00:00:00
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A plague carried around the world by travelers, pets and curious teen-agers may show that experts have not taken everything into account when planning for an outbreak of disease, researchers said on Monday.
Luckily, the world involved is an Internet game.
The outbreak of "Corrupted Blood" indicates that specialists trying to predict what the next pandemic will look like might make use of a real-world laboratory -- the culture of online gamers.
"It really looked quite a bit like a real disease," Nina Fefferman of Princeton University, who worked on the report with her then-student Eric Lofgren, said in a telephone interview.
This includes stupid behavior, near-instant international travel and infection by pets.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
With my family trip to Disney World over you will once again be subjected to the frivolous tripe that I conjure out of the nothingness that is my well of humour each day.
It's strange how we as human beings tend to relate situations that we don't understand especially well to matters that we know a great deal about. I was constantly comparing what Disney was doing in their theme parks and resorts to what MMOGs should be doing. Let's face it, where else in the world would you stand, grinning like a half-witted simpleton, encouraging grown men dressed in furry animal costumes hug your children? The answer is nowhere.
So why do we foster this behaviour at Disney World? The answer is simple; it makes our children feel special. They twinkle like miscreant glow-worms when Tigger throws his striped arm around their shoulders. They giggle like tickle-me-elmo on a sugar-rush when Piglet gives them a hug. If Disney can spawn rapturous joy from the hug of a pig, a creature which if found in any other location would be considered a filthy, foul-smelling beast, then marketing genius was at work, and I intended to get to the bottom of it.
I needed only be in the theme park for 20 minutes or so to find my answer. My family and I were walking down "Main Street U.S.A." in Magic Kingdom when we were accosted by a pair of Disney employees or "cast members" as they prefer to be called. I was raising my hands, shooing them away, claiming that I had enough long distance savings, photographs of myself next to the bronze statue of Walt himself and time share opportunities for my liking, when they blurted out the words that I least expected, "Would your family like to ride in the fire engine and lead the parade?"
I don't know how many families wander through Disney parks in a day. It's surely thousands and likely tens of thousands, yet somehow they had managed to make my family feel special.
We returned to our appointed spot later in the day where the characters who would participate in the parade greeted my children individually, without the press of crowds or a lineup. We boarded the fire engine where my children had a few minutes to spend away from the milling mobs with Pluto, the Grand Marshall of the parade.After the time with Pluto one of the Disney cast members handed us each an American flag. We were asked to wave these as we were paraded, literally, down the main street. They were a bit shocked when I told them that I wasn't American at all, but was born and raised a Canadian. They seemed to be all out of Canadian flags and I couldn't think of a song that included Wayne Gretzky, Yankees, doodles and dandies so I latched on the Stars and Stripes and gave it a twirl.
Anyone who reads this column regularly knows that I'm a Canadian who truly likes America and Americans in general. Waving a U.S. flag isn't something that I would normally do, but I didn't mind doing it and it was the "clean and polite" thing to do. We Canadians are nothing if not clean and polite. Just ask, Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey, Dave Foley, Tom Green, Eugene Levy, Howie Mandel, Rick Moranis, Mike Myers, Martin Short, Dave Thomas, Brent Butt, Norm Macdonald, Leslie Nielsen, William Shatner or a host of other Canadians who walk among Americans, undetected, waiting for their moment to be asked to wave an American flag. We are just like Americans, only you don't always get our jokes, oh and we skate faster, and refer to canines as dogs and not dawgs. Those differences aside, it's hard to tell us apart. I guarantee that none of the milling masses that formed the crowds down main street knew that they were being hoodwinked by a family of Canadians. Women were winking at me as I trundled down the road atop the shiny red engine, and trust me, they don't that do that every day here in Canada, unless they have something in their eye or are being tazered.
But I've left the textual track that I was leading you down. The point that I have been so slovenly trying to make is that at Disney they make you feel special. I can't think of any MMOGs currently on the market that instill in the player that they are exc...

13 new MMOG articles today. So far in October that puts us at 30! Nobody else comes close to the MMOG coverage of TenTonHammer.com.
We posted a new comic up yesterday pitting a Dwarf with a frostbitten sword against the frozen north. Enjoy! We posted no less than 17 new MMOG articles yesterday (not including the comic) and yet six of the top 10 most visited pages were comics. Maybe we should just shut the site down and create comics as our full-time gig?
Once in a while, or perhaps daily I come across an article that shows me just how disparate my philosophies on gaming are from those of other gamers. While cruising teh intawebz in my Mac Lexus yesterday I came across an article titled, 'Ethical Dilemmas'. I immediately believed it to be a piece about the ethical parables in Tabula Rasa. Regrettably it was built around the following statement;
"I think a lot of modern game design is actually unethical, especially massively multiplayer games like World of Warcraft, because they are predicated on player exploitation," - Mr. Blow (That's his real name and not some juvenile attempt at humour by yours truly)
