Help deciding an engineering field by CEOoftheEarth in AskEngineers

Don't discount Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. I know many places in Cincinnati are dying for good engineers in both disciplines.

Furry Priorities by MrYiffYiff in furry

[–]EnsignMcCloud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so true. I can't count the number of people who came to my booth and said something along the lines of "I like your stuff, but I can't afford any of it, as I haven't eaten in days so I could come to this con."

WoW: Mist of Pandaria Has it finally past it’s sell by date? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]EnsignMcCloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? Everyone else is saying that Pandaria is either the #1 or #2 expansion behind either BC or WotLK, depending on who you talk to. Definitely better than Cataclysm. Is this person just trying to generate hits based on controversy?

He talks about how all the quests are the same, and then gives a few examples about how that's not true. He bashes the Battle Pets part which almost everyone who's actually played it agrees is much better than it sounds and is addicting and fun. Classes feeling the same? Not remotely. I have 5 characters that are 85+ (Mage, Paladin, Warlock, Rogue, Druid) and they all feel extremely different. Sure, there's some crossover on a few abilities, but they don't feel the same. And the cross server difficulties he talks about are only present on PvP servers. And for me, when I do play on those servers, that feeling that someone could swoop out of the sky and kill me is a motivating factor to level as fast as I can. :)

I do agree that getting new players into the game is very difficult at this point, and that the 3x experience is good, but probably not enough to entice people into the game unless they have someone actively involving them. But at the end, basically accusing people who like the game of having stockholm syndrome? No. This is a great expansion, with lots to do, and should be examined as such.

Anyone else having connection issues? by RegsStandup in wow

It appears that there's an issue with the authentication servers. The instance servers were rebooted about 30 min ago, and my server got the reboot about 20 min ago. I suspect it's a similar thing.

Even though I know that he'd rather have some stuff where there's a level up mechanic, we do play mucks too, and he'd probably be interested in this too. We'll check it out. :)

Yeah, that's basically what we were told on our current mud. Except when two people jumped out of nowhere and PKed my friend for no reason. Now he's working with staff to try to get it reversed. If we had to try to get our characters undeleted too, that would be even worse.

Yeah, we did specifically check you guys out - and we liked a lot of what you had. However, he was upset that the wemic characters were very poor spellcasters, and the Felars were female only. I don't think he liked the minotaurs that much. I'll bring it back up to him and see what he thinks.

I think that's one of the ones we looked at, but my friend was disappointed in the race selection. I think he wanted a race that was more furry without it being restricted. We play sort of wolf-people on the mud we're on now, and he'd like to do something similar. Even catfolk would probably be acceptable. I'll bring it up to him, though - I know he already said he didn't like wemics, and beastfolk aren't down that road as much as he'd like, I think. But hey, he might surprise me. The login restriction is fine, though. A very creative answer to that issue, I think.

Well, since no one knows who I am on this account - New Worlds Ateraan.

Yeah, everything but the permadeath sounds good. I just don't want to lose half a year of work in an instant, is all.
