Is there anyone out there that has found a successful way of playing Blu Ray discs on your PC without having to be raped by Cyberlinks PowerDVD. They charge for every upgrade and I believe we "buy" the rights to watch our Blu Rays when we buy them.
How are our East Coast members doing? We on the West Coast are seeing some awful footage. I went through 3 larger hurricanes in 2004 & 2005 myself and don't remember the damage being so extreme.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm here and just busy with RL. My son "Seoni" is starting HS next week so we have been getting ready for that plus I have decided to go back to school (apparently they will take any old fart) so that will suck up some of my free time as well. Also had a minor water leak in the house which is always a lot of fun :-(
I am aggravated with Bioware for not getting my sons launcher fixed in a timely fashion and that has turned me off a little bit as well but we are not quitting, just protesting them....haha
Catch me in TS or PM if you have any questions or need help with anything.
I'm at 80ms normally but since the new patch, I have had a lot of red lines or red X's. Is anyone else experiencing this or is it a local issue for me?
I'm sure I'm going to get "push back" or flammed but after being in today's first Ranked Warzone day, we are not a PVP guild. We might as well just put that right out there to chew on! WE got beat by a PUG team and a group calling themselves Team Awesome. (and I have pvp'ed with them in the past and they are NOT that awesome!)
We do not have a enough dedicated PVP'ers to form the proper make-up for Ranked Warzones. We have ZERO excuse for this. WE have known that the Ranked WZ's were coming and how did we prepare? We are too focused on raiding and not enough on PVP. If that is the way its going to be , then lets call ourselves a PVE guild and we should reconsider being on a PVP server.
If we REALLY want to be a PVP guild, we need to scale back the raiding and get our shit together. We know that we can raid the shit out of the game, lets crank up our PVP now.
Here our some suggestions......
1) Dedicated PVP A Team 2) Dedicated PVP B Team as a back up to the A team. 3) Practice and planning. We need a plan for every WZ, every class. We get sloppy! 4) Leadership. We need some one to lead the charge and stick to it. 5) Recruitment. We need to recruit PVP players and possibly absorb a smaller PVP guild from the server transfers. 6) Education and Newbies. Lets get all our new and old PVP'ers geared and educated on the WZ's. It's never too late to start.
PLEASE post feedback and suggestions or just throw in the towel and call us "not so Furious Angels". I don't think you need to be that furious to raid but you DO need to be furious to roll Imp ass!
Ask yourself, where is the "server impact" that we are looking to make? We have passed the 6 month mark and I don't think we are making the impact that we should be. It's time to show Jung MA what Furious Angels is all about and that is hard to do when we are stuck in raids. If we can show up 5-6 days a week, every week for raiding, why can't we do the same for PVP.
I know that I have beat this subject into the ground so this will probably be my last post on this. (probably). I'm not going anywhere BUT we have lost a lot of good PVP'ers do to our lack of dedication to PVP. Please take to heart what I'm saying.
As a father of over 20 years, I want to take a moment to wish all you new fathers, you old fathers and you expecting fathers a HAPPY FATHERS DAY!
There is no joy more fulfilling for a man then being a father.
And there no reward like parenting. You will lose sleep, you'll lose hair, you'll lose your mind and you will lose money but the moment your child smiles at you, laughs or even cries on your shoulder, you know it is worth it.
This life that you helped create and bring into the world, is yours for life. Don't let them down. Listen to them, guide them and most important, LOVE THEM!
