I wrote this for the hunters in my guild, but as my server's down I decided to crosspost it here. Mostly for but also in case you want to use it whenever we update the FAQ. I'm writing this mainly not for the hunter mains in the guild. Most of you will know this stuff already, but for alts and non-hunters who would like to know some of the more important changes in our class. Pets Lets do this first as this is probably the biggest and most noticeable change. Pets have been given a huge overhaul. Think of them now as 3 new player classes. A tank, and 2 varieties of DPS. They now get talented like players. the trees are a little as follows. Tenacity: (aka the tanking tree) Pets with this tree make very good tanks, certainly a lot better than you'd expect from a pet. They are certainly capable of tanking a normal instance. The hunter skill required to have his/her pet tank effectively while they DPS is quite challenging, ...

I don't think you really need to ask this question...I'd bet you already know the answer....you seem like you know how to gear. Your uritable, urushable (with shield blk or we the warrior skill isalled) and over 12k health unbuffed, with 4 greens, whh is perftly fine for heros. (I remember my old guild leader saying that warriors need to be uritable, and over 12k health, to tank...

Great adve so far. Lks are mh better Party Animals than loners. I try to get aouple of Guildies, or friends to go to the BG with me. A pali, warrior, druid, hunter or anyombo that understands team work, and follows an attk plan makes a tough foe to rkon with. If you go in by yourself, try to hook up with the group leader and hope theres not a buh of HERO's on your team. Support, support, support...

Battlefield: Bad Company's multiplayer blew the doors off of a late-night premier event last week in San Francisco. It also blew off the walls, the floor tiles and the roof shingles. Bad Company's multiplayer lets you destroy just about anything you can see, faithfully reproducing the single-player mantra of total destruction. Violent hot points erupt around caches of gold, carrying Bad Company's relentlessly "Three K...

The Austin Game Conference is rolling along and our own Nicole Hamlett is there taking in the sights. Keep checking back for any interesting tidbits that Nicole throws our way.Apparently the MMOG Rant session was a hoot yesterday. NCSoft designer, Scott Jennings was first up and took on MMOG companies abilities to deliver patches and game content."WOW just had a patch a few weeks ago. As usual, their patch distribution completely failed. That may be because their patch distribution system is best described as 'Let's make something so frustrating people will just host the damn patches for us.' It's unacceptable. It amazes me that WOW's peer-to-peer distribution has become accepted practice. Why are you people putting up with it? Part of our core business as an MMO provider is providing the damn MMO."If you read this column regularly you know how I feel about the WoW patching system. Why not ram an Elephant down a straw? Jennings is absolutely right that others hos...
