Spending countless hours playing a video game always amounts to nothing, title or no. Just sayin

I've been using my Razer Naga for years and it has turned out to be a quality product. Can't imagine gaming without it. Also quite happy with my Nostromo. And you bought what you call a "mediocre" product that you clearly don't like and seem more upset about not getting a silly color crystal. If you put the headset on and felt it was mediocre, you could have just taken it back. So who's dumb as a rock here?

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I'm sure it will help some players. If I may, it may also help to add a little something about knowing when to ask for help and when to stop and try to figure it out on your own. There are times when it is ok to ask others for help, and there are times when it is probably better that you stop for a minute and try to find the answer yourself. Asking others for help on a subject that you researched but still don't understand is often received better. If you won't take 5 minutes to try and research the answer on your own, why should somebody else stop and explain it for you? The idea is to find a happy medium when relying on the community to help out. Most players value their time just as much as you value yours. Some players absolutely love to take time helping other players out. Others have logged on to play for a few minutes before work and may not want to be bothered. Finding that happy medium between self reliance and relying on the community makes for a better experience for everyone, imo.

My suggestion, since you asked, is don't log in this weekend. Take a few days off. Go do something else. There have been weeks where I only logged in once or twice just to run Ops with the guild. The fact that you made this thread means you need to take a break and come back later.

What server community?

Dude, the republic is living in the biggest glass house ever built. I'd be careful with those stones.

Yes, they should come with giant palm fronds so they can fan their king!

Friends don't let friends RP.

Yeah, I'm not gonna try to claim that everyone hates it. I hate it. The people I personally know that play this game hate it. The gamers I know that don't play the game laughed at it. Most of the people posting comments on other forums hate it. BW (and you parachute pants enthusiasts) can do what you will with that info.

That is a good point. Can't speak for everyone. I saw a guy walking down the street in an orange plaid shirt and black parachute pants the other day. Clearly he liked what he was wearing.

The trooper and bh are ok, but the rest are just bad. The JC got it the worst. They look like they should be peeling grapes for a pharaoh. The JK just looks like the head grape peeler. And tell me the IA gear doesn't look like it was ripped out of the 80's GI Joe cartoons. To many issues with failed attempts at flair to name.

Not dense. I just think you're full of it. Don't generalize. Link me one of these basic specs you are referring to and tell me why it isn't viable.

That's not logic. It's fantasy because it isn't true.

So, if you have the best possible build, then bosses just die at your feet from the site of you? No, I don't think so. Since we don't really know what the best possible builds are right now (only general builds) this is a silly argument. But, no matter what your playstyle, taking a knife to a gun fight isn't particularly bright. Go down to the park and try to play a game of pickup basketball in your bare feet, or try play a game of softball with a broomstick instead of a bat. Sure, you can still run up and down the court or hit the ball, but nowhere as well as the guys that came prepared to play. And yes, a few of them will probably laugh at the sound of your feet slapping on the pavement. It is ok that people want to play however they want, but they can't expect to measure up against those that put more effort into being prepared. If the goal of this game is to allow everyone to clear content without much preparation, then yeah, do away with enrage timers (or any time-based mechanic for that matter). But if I wanted to play a game without any preparation required, I'd pull out my phone and play Angry Birds or PvZ.

You are absolutely right. The enrage timer does not mean automatic wipe. We've killed bosses after they enrage quite a few times. A few people die, but those that are left play smart and get him down. Anyone can head over to youtube and see plenty of boss vids where the boss is enraged for the last minute of the fight but they still get the kill.
