Announcing Podcast #54

Well, as anticipated, apparently my 'rant' wasn't SOE friendly enough to be shortlisted. You can see the shortlist on the Station forums, probably have to vote for the best or something.

Ah, but does it cut down states enough to warrent equipping? Besides, I thought 9mmfu said it didn't affect, or it wasn't designed to affect Daze/Stagger and Off-Balance or has that changed too?

Then that Kid shouldn't get in the ring when the challenge is way over his head. I agree people fail at life when they trick new players into pvp and kill them, but if they flag of their own free will then they'll soon see what happens bec...

Lowbie PVP

Flagging for PvP indicates that you're up for some fighting, it doesn't say that you want a fair fight and flagging in Mara C in front of a multitude of 50's doesn't invite a fair fight either. Lowbies have 3 choices to avoid higher level...

Oh I don't know, Syntax has a fair few of them especially around Mara C. I've often heard people calling Tabor W Merovingian Park West too. I guess time of day is a factor of who you see when online.
