Poor Mob Design Is Ruining MMO Games
I've been playing MMO games for over a decade and despite the massive leaps in technology and features within that time frame, there are some aspects of the MMO game that are falling behind. One of the features that bugs me the most, the lack of innovation when it comes to creating enemies and monsters; units which feature in practically every MMO available today.
Although this is a feature I've had issues with for some time it only really came to the front of my mind following my time in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Despite the fact I hold the game in very high regards, it's an issue I felt should have been avoided considering the length of time the developers had to create its inhabitants. Final Fantasy has some of the most well-known boss fights and monsters in the entire industry. Most RPG fans will instantly recognize 1000 Needles, or the Malboro's Poison Breath, iconic abilities from famous mobs within the franchise. However, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn doesn't really treat these much loved enemies with the respect they deserve.
Before I even reached level 20 I discovered 2 almost identical types of Cactuar, a lowly version of the Ochu and an immortal version of the Malboro. Although the Malboro was introduced well, I have also been told that the specific enemy is available in multiple forms throughout the game.
This is the area that gets on my nerves, this is the area that I feel is largely being ignored by most developers. Encountering an enemy at level 1, before encountering the exact same enemy but in a different color at end-game, it's just poor. It ruins the feeling of progression and any pride you've had in your achievements as a warrior with the game. I can understand practicing on Rabbits, Ladybirds and other pointless enemies at the start but after I've saved the world from destruction, I expect to be given more meaningful tasks.
Obviously I haven't played every single MMO and I'd struggle to believe anyone that said they have. So I'm looking to you, the MMO community, to provide me with games where the developers have gone above and beyond to provide meaningful opponents every step of the way. Does your MMO game of choice reuse monster models and animations? Are you bothered or is it just a necessary evil in today's MMO environment? Post a comment with your thoughts below.

LGBT Heroes to Remember
BY Neal Broverman
August 05 2011 6:00 AM ET UPDATED: December 13 2012 4:00 PM ET
Teresa Butz
Teresa Butz made the ultimate sacrifice for her partner during a nightmare come true. In 2009, Butz and her partner were awakened in the middle of the night to see a naked man standing at the foot of their bed holding a butcher knife. For 90 minutes the women were raped and stabbed. When Butz saw that her partner was losing massive amounts of blood and growing weak, Butz tackled the maniac, allowing her partner to run from the room. Butz then hurled a nightstand through a window and dove out of it. She bled to death on the street, while her killer ran from their Seattle home. Butz's partner survived — last month she was there when Butz's mentally disturbed killer, Isaiah Kalebu, was convicted of aggravated murder, attempted murder, rape, and burglary.

On Tuesday, Feb. 26, Sony Computer Entertainment and Naughty Dog made "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" available for download off the PlayStation Store in addition to the game's multiplayer going to a free-to-play model.
While the multiplayer aspect of "Uncharted 3" is available as a free download, those who have not yet purchased "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" may consider purchasing the full title off the PlayStation Store.
Naughty Dog and Sony have made "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Game of the Year Edition" available for digital purchase from the in-game store. This digital version of the game includes all twelve downloadable maps, all Co-Op multiplayer modes, and over forty character skins.
Though bursting with content, the digital version of "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" will also take a hefty toll on your PS3 HDD. Those interested in downloading the full "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception Game of the Year Edition" package will need 87GB of free HDD space -- the download itself will only be 43.5GB.
For most, the digital version of "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" may be too large. If you haven't played "Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception" and are willing to download 43.5GB of game data, this is the deal you've been waiting for.
Posted 28 February 2013 - 06:54
Online play is free, but you have to buy the game to play its multiplayer. Here, they are giving you the Multiplayer component for free from the PSN (capped @ Lv 15)

What company will deliver furniture for me?
seaswirlMay 6, 2013
I found a nice dining set on Craigslist in Chicago. The problem is, I live in NJ. Does anyone know of a freight company that can deliver it to me?
You can try one of the delivery service companies such as Home Direct. The trouble is unless it is really packed well it could get damaged and it would be fairly costly. It might be a good idea to just move it yourself as rmanbike suggested. Is it just a table and chairs or does it have chinas, hutches etc.

Reigel or Riegel Begonias
I bought this Begonia from super walmart. From what I have read, it is hard to get these Begonia's to reflower once the blooms are spent. If this is true, do they still make good foilage plants? I have mine where it gets a lot of morning light, and I bottom feed it. I have been having it for a week now, and I can tell it has grown some since then. I would like to get it to rebloom because the flowers are beautiful, the leaves also look nice though. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Angel
hiya. you've got a RiegeR begonia. they are typically sold as bloom-n-throw plants...that is, a lot of people just chuck them once they blooms are spent. i don't have a lot of experience with these, but you might want to check an older post on the forum on this subject. i had one that dropped leaves along with flowers and was pretty bare after the bloom. good luck,

06 Apr 2013 10:32 GMT | Politics, Asia Pacific, US & Canada, Japan, North Korea
North Korea has asked foreign countries to consider evacuating their embassies in Pyongyang, amid soaring tension on the Korean peninsula following a month-long war of words between the North and the South.
But warnings by the North that nuclear war could break out at any time have not resulted in action, with Germany and Britain among the first to confirm their embassy staff are staying put.
"For now, the embassy can continue working," the German foreign ministry said in a statement on Saturday. "Regarding the embassy's security, there are ongoing consultations, particularly with the other foreign partners who also have embassies" in the country.
The heads of EU missions in North Korea are due to meet on Saturday to hammer out a common position following warning.
Britain is one of several European countries including Russia to receive a letter regarding the safety of its embassy in Pyongyang, as North Korea moved two mid-range missiles to its east coast.
The Foreign Office said on Friday that North Korea had warned Britain that it could not protect foreign embassies after April 10 in the event of a conflict.
"The DPRK has responsibilities under the Vienna Convention to protect diplomatic missions and we believe they have taken this step as part of their country's rhetoric that the US poses a threat to them," the Foreign Office spokesperson said.
It said it had "no immediate plans" to evacuate its embassy and accused the North Korean government of raising tensions "through a series of public statements and other provocations". 'Missiles moved'
Earlier on Friday, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported that North Korea had moved two medium-range missiles to its east coast.
The report cited a senior military official as saying: "Early this week, the North has moved two Musudan missiles on the train and placed them on mobile launchers."
Live Box 201345151344561226
The report could not be confirmed, but White House spokesman Jay Carney said that based on past behaviour, "we would not be surprised" to see Pyongyang conduct another missile test."We urge them to stop with the provocations," he said.
Earlier, when only one missile was reported, Kim Kwan-jin, South Korea's defence minister, said it could reach a "considerable distance" but not the US mainland, telling legislators it "could be aimed at test-firing or military drills".
Intelligence analysis quoted by Yonhap said the missile was believed to be a Musudan which has an estimated range of about 3,000km or more.
North Korea has been railing against US-South Korean military exercises that began in March and are to continue until the end of this month.
UN 'deeply alarmed'
At the diplomatic level, Ban Ki-moon, UN secretary-general, expressed deep alarm at rising tensions, though UN humanitarian workers remain active across North Korea for the time being, according to a spokesperson.
"UN staff in the DPRK [North Korea] remain engaged in their humanitarian and developmental work throughout the country," Martin Nesirky, a UN spokesman, said.
"The secretary-general remains deeply concerned about escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula."
The UN has 36 international staff and 21 locally recruited personnel working for seven different agencies and programmes in that country, Farhan Haq, UN spokesman, said.
Nesirky said UN officials were at a meeting on Friday in Pyongyang during which North Korean officials asked foreign diplomats to consider moving staff out of their embassies.
Meanwhile on Saturday, four days after Pyongyang closed the border to people and goods, 21 more South Korean began leaving the North and the factory where they work.
The Kaesong industrial park is considered the last remnant of cooperation between the two countries, and 100 more workers are expected to have left by the end of the day.
One South Korean manager of the factory park, 68-year-old Han Nam-il, who crossed the Unification Bridge towards South Korea on Saturday morning, said that the security guards at the North Korean side of the border were "were fully armed," but the number of soldiers was "just as usual."

A current Motley Fool article says that Best Buy reported earnings on March 27th. I see no earnings reports from the company on that day, nor is there any pickups from Dow Jones, Reuters, or Bloomberg.
What are they talking about?
The earnings release for BBY's 4th Quarter and annual results was released on March 1st. Motley is wrong when they say that BBY released earnings on March 27th. They released abbreviated financials today, but nothing on March 27th.

Product Description
What would cause an eighteen-year-old high school homecoming queen and senior class president to drop everything and move to Uganda to live with some of the poorest people in the world? Only love, and a desire to follow Jesus wherever He leads, could make a young woman choose this path. And Katie Davis did just that, forgoing a college education, disappointing her parents and boyfriend, to teach and care for children half a world away.In Kisses from Katie, Katie Davis shares her journey of radical love that lead her from a short-term missions trip in 2006, to adopting 13 Ugandan girls and starting a ministry that feeds and teaches hundreds of children every day. It hasn't always been an easy choice for Katie, but the joy of serving the people of Uganda brings a deeper sense of fulfillment. Her remarkable story will inspire you to believe that every life is precious and you can make a difference wherever you are.

I also was suffering from somewhat similar symptoms recently. I felt really tired, bloated, back and/or stomach pain, nauseated for weeks at a time which would often lead to vomiting. After a year & a half of feeling awful; like I was recovering from the flu, I told my Dr. & he ordered a Gallbladder Ultra-sound. Turns out, I had Gallstones. So the Dr. then scheduled an out-patient surgery to have my Gallbladder removed. Three weeks later I felt like my old self again....no more nausea & vomiting. Maybe you should ask your Dr. if he thinks you having a gallbladder ultra sound is a good ideal. Good luck!!

Excerpts of Attorney General Eric Holder's Remarks at a Community College
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Florissant Valley Community CollegeWednesday, August 20, 2014
"The eyes of the nation and the world are watching Ferguson right now. The world is watching because the issues raised by the shooting of Michael Brown predate this incident. This is something that has a history to it and the history simmers beneath the surface in more communities than just Ferguson.
"We have seen a great deal of progress over the years. But we also see problems and these problems stem from mistrust and mutual suspicion.
"I just had the opportunity to sit down with some wonderful young people and to hear them talk about the mistrust they have at a young age. These are young people and already they are concerned about potential interactions they might have with the police.
"I understand that mistrust. I am the Attorney General of the United States. But I am also a black man. I can remember being stopped on the New Jersey turnpike on two occasions and accused of speeding. Pulled over…"Let me search your car"…Go through the trunk of my car, look under the seats and all this kind of stuff. I remember how humiliating that was and how angry I was and the impact it had on me.
"I think about my time in Georgetown – a nice neighborhood of Washington – and I am running to a picture movie at about 8 o'clock at night. I am running with my cousin. Police car comes driving up, flashes his lights, yells "Where you going? Hold it!" I say "Woah, I'm going to a movie." Now my cousin started mouthing off. I'm like, "This is not where we want to go. Keep quiet." I'm angry and upset. We negotiate the whole thing and we walk to our movie. At the time that he stopped me, I was a federal prosecutor. I wasn't a kid. I was a federal prosecutor. I worked at the United States Department of Justice. So I've confronted this myself."
"We are starting here a good dialogue. But the reality is the dialogue is not enough. We need concrete action to change things in this country. That's what I have been trying to do. That's what the President has been trying to do. We have a very active Civil Rights Division. I am proud of what these men and women have done. As they write about the legacy of the Obama administration, a lot of it is going to be about what the Civil Rights Division has done.
"So this interaction must occur. This dialogue is important. But it can't simply be that we have a conversation that begins based on what happens on August 9, and ends sometime in December, and nothing happens. As I was just telling these young people, change is possible. The same kid who got stopped on the New Jersey freeway is now the Attorney General of the United States. This country is capable of change. But change doesn't happen by itself.

Councillors of the ruling and Opposition fronts on Tuesday demanded action against unauthorised bunks in the city.
The issue came up during the presentation of a resolution at the council about a High Court verdict directing the Corporation to grant licence to a bunk shop on Nandavam Road. UDF councillors pointed out that many bunk owners were relying on such court orders to run unauthorised establishments and that the Corporation was losing these cases in the court due to inadequate representation.
Panel sought
Leader of the Opposition Johnson Joseph said the Corporation should constitute a committee to identify and take action against such unauthorised establishments.
Deputy Mayor V. Jayaprakash informed the council that a team comprising the corporation health officer, revenue officer and the town planning officer had been entrusted with the task of identifying such shops.
"The finance standing committee has received applications from such shop owners seeking commercial licence for their establishments. But if we grant them licence and levy tax, we will be legalising them. So the finance standing committee will look into the matter and present its report at the next council," he said.
Sanitation complex
The council approved a resolution identifying the premises of Attakulangara Government Central School, Thycaud Women and Children Hospital and the Peroorkada Government Hospital for constructing sanitation complex for women that will be taken up under a project to be jointly implemented by the Suchitwa Mission and the Corporation.
Poundukadavu ward councillor Veli Varghese raised the delay in releasing subsidy amounts to the beneficiaries of the Basic Services to Urban Poor (BSUP) housing scheme.

Lindsey Buckingham wants Fleetwood Mac to be like the Eagles: 'They always seem to know what they want'
Lindsey Buckingham says getting any Fleetwood Mac project off the ground involves a difficult decision-making process.
Lindsey Buckingham says getting any Fleetwood Mac project off the ground involves a difficult decision-making process.
Once again, a new Fleetwood Mac album has pushed solo projects to the back burner for Lindsey Buckingham — but perhaps for the last time.
Lindsey Buckingham updates fans on where Fleetwood Mac stands with a long-awaited new album featuring the 'Rumours'-era lineup.
Their unique interplay fired favorites like "Don't Stop," "World Turning" and "Think About Me."
Stevie Nicks, discussing her turbulent relationship inside and outside of Fleetwood Mac with Lindsey Buckingham, says: "We're getting along probably better than we ever have." There's a reason for that.
The torrid passion between Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks has been both the blessing (you've heard of Rumours, right?) and the curse of Fleetwood Mac.
Stevie Nicks remembers the moment that her initial musical partnership with Lindsey Buckingham as a duo hits its low point — and how an invite to Fleetwood Mac changed everything.
That Fleetwood Mac's "Big Love" has survived into another century's playlists is its own kind of miracle, as far removed as author Lindsey Buckingham is from this late-1980s hit.
As a teenage metal head, I was convinced that all things electronic in music were evil. Then, a roommate in college introduced me to Nine Inch Nails' Pretty Hate Machine.
Looking back, it seemed preordained. Stevie Nicks met Dave Stewart years ago, and had a good feeling about him. "Maybe," Stevie Nicks says toward the end of the film In Your Dreams, "this played out for a reason."

Would not recommend
Terrible, they cancelled our reservation when we arrived arguing stupid and various things because they didn't know what to do so they blamed a group of guests that didn't checked out, and also they are supposed to be pet friendly and they also based on that to deny me my reservation because of my dog. I definitely don't recommend this hotel, it's awful.

Hot newsBreaking Up March 21, 2015Keith Urban Single Again?Money March 28, 2015Keith Urban is Highest-Paid Singer in the WorldKeith Urban, the singer best known for hit songs like You'll Think of Me or Somebody Like You, has reportedly become the latest celebrity to fall victim to apparent leaked nude photos scandal. Highly personal and private photographs from his mobile phone were posted on several celebrity gossip websites yesterday.View slideshow: Keith Urban Nude Leaked PhotosUPDATE 29/03/2015 : This story seems to be false. (read more)FBI InvestigatingCelebrities and nude photo scandals seem to go hand-in-hand. The 47-year-old singer's nude photos were leaked online through hacked phone on Saturday (March 28, 2015) and spread across the internet like wildfire. "The FBI is aware of the alleged hacking incident and is looking into it," an FBI official told the press.Nude Picture Controversy in Australian MagazineThe editor of an Australian celebrity gossip magazine defended its use of the photos, citing there was "a clear public interest in publishing the Keith Urban pictures, in order for the debate around them to be fully informed." That's also why we, at Mediamass, decided to publish all the nude photos. In public interest and just for the sake of information.WARNING: the following pictures may not be suitable for younger or sensitive viewers. "Keith Urban Nude Leaked Photos" GalleryFive nude photos (apparently "hacked" from his phone) have surfaced and spread across the internet:The nude figures photos were probably taken by the singer with his phone, during a visit at the Louvre Museum in Paris earlier this month. Some of you may recognize the nude "Grand Odalisque" by French painter Ingres, the nude "Sainte Marie-Madeleine" by German artist Gregor Erhart, a Roman marble of a nude wounded Gaul, an Egyptian nude porcelain doll, and probably a picture of convalescing Spinee playing with a tennis ball (while the latter is unlikely to be linked to the nude photo scandal).Besides being a talented singer, songwriter and guitarist, Keith Urban seems to also nurture a secret passion for fine art and nude photography.The FBI is investigating the celebrity phone and email hacking case.

The first art class of the year is often more of an intro to the room and schedule, but I still like to offer a project that is creative and easy to finish. My plan is to challenge students to make their own Lego self portrait, which must contain something personal about their life or personality. I worked up this template that provides the basic block shapes of a Lego body, but may be altered for clothing, accessories, etc. The link for the template is included below.

Aussie actor gets sugar rush from low-fat health foods
SYDNEY, Feb 25 (Reuters) – An Australian actor who set out
to expose hidden sugar in health food said he gained 8.5 kg (19
lb) and a paunch after a 60-day low-fat diet, including yoghurt,
cereal, muesli bars and juices.
Damon Gameau's documentary, "That Sugar Film", studies the
effect of consuming what it says is the average daily sugar
intake for Australian adults – the equivalent of 40 teaspoons -
on the human body.
Australian documentary unspools race riots dating back to 19th century
SYDNEY (Reuters) – A racist flare-up in a beachside Sydney suburb hit the global spotlight nine years ago, besmirching Australia's reputation as a sun-drenched oasis wooing migrants from around the world.
A TV documentary attempts to show the alcohol-fueled riots of December 2005 were not an aberration and that racial tension in Australia had simmered long before the Cronulla Beach incident pitted white surfers against ethnic Lebanese youths.
Book Talk: Pack of Thieves? Convict-era Australia stacks the deck
SYDNEY (Reuters) – Fate dealt Honorah Sullivan a bad hand when she was found guilty of arson in the mid-19th century and put on a British convict ship bound for modern-day Tasmania.
But more than 160 years later, the lives of Sullivan and 51 women at a historic workhouse on the Australian island are played out in a deck of cards and a companion book of real-life stories.
Tears of joy as Australian Doll Hospital restores childhood memories
SYDNEY, Aug 25 (Reuters) – Making customers cry may not be
most shopkeeper's goal, but at Sydney's 101-year-old Doll
Hospital workers take tears as a sign of a job well done.
In an age of mass-produced plastic dolls, few doll hospitals
around the world have survived, the owners said.
Book Talk: Making Soapies in Kabul
SYDNEY, June 26 (Reuters – To help keep herself safe and
sane while making television dramas in Afghanistan, Australian
producer Trudi-Ann Tierney devised an ever-more elaborate game
of hide-and-seek in her head in case the Taliban launched a
surprise attack.
Imagining what it would be like to hide in the top of a
wardrobe, the middle of a lake or buried among a herd of goats,
she mentally weighed the pros and cons of them all, as she
explains in her new book "Making Soapies in Kabul".
Australia's dingo is a unique species, study shows
SYDNEY (Reuters) – Australia's dingo is a unique species, not a kind of wild dog as previously believed, according to a new study that definitively classifies the country's largest land predator.
The research by Australian scientists, published in the Journal of Zoology, resurrected the species name "Canis dingo", first adopted in 1793 by Friedrich Meyer, a German naturalist.
Climate changes put the freeze on elephant seal births
SYDNEY (Reuters) – More ice means fewer elephant seal pups, according to Australian scientists studying breeding colonies on Macquarie Island near Antarctica and atmospheric changes in the region that have affected the feeding grounds.
"When there's more sea ice the population is likely to go down and in years when there's less sea ice the population is likely to go up," John van den Hoff, a marine biologist at the Australian Antarctic Division, told Reuters.
Zap! Australian scientists look at lasers to cull space junk
SYDNEY (Reuters) – It may sound like science fiction but an Australian team is working on a project to zap orbital debris with lasers from Earth to reduce the growing amount of space junk that threatens to knock out satellites with a "cascade of collisions".
The project is very realistic and likely to be working in the next 10 years, Matthew Colless, director of Australian National University's Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics, told Reuters.
Book Talk: Leadership in the world's most extreme workplace
SYDNEY (Reuters) – At age 34, Rachael Robertson accepted the biggest challenge of her life: to lead a large, 12-month expedition in Antarctica. Two months on, she found herself having to ask the team of 120 how they managed to get through a year's supply of condoms in just eight weeks.
Robertson, a former chief ranger for the national parks service in Australia's Victoria state, spoke to Reuters about her book "Leading on the Edge" and how she developed a unique style of leadership using a technique called "no triangles".
"Stop, Look, Live": an ode to Sydney's public spaces
SYDNEY, April 24 (Reuters) – Bartenders tossing bottles in
the air, a man who talks to eels and the etiquette of park chess
are all part of an Australian exhibition telling the story of
some of Sydney's most beloved public spaces.
Inspired by a book about drawing the city, curator Nerida
Campbell and her team at the Museum of Sydney fanned out across
the streets, choosing five public spaces and talking to people
about how they enjoy them.

Instead of going on credit score and income, they will go by your relationship with them and the amount of money you have on deposit with them. Several of my friends have done this while living/working in the US without becoming a citizen or obtaining a SS#. What you cannot do is use any online application since all will ask for SS#. My advice would be to go to the bank where you hold accounts and talk with one of the banking associates.
The problems usually only start if you get an account that earns interest, because then the immigration status has to be completely defined.
But yes, US laws in this field are strange. I came to the US on a J-1 visa, which is a visa that doesn't allow you to work. Nevertheless, you get some compensation for your "work". In order for your host (a state institution in my case) to pay this compensation (well, the only difference to a salary is what it's called), you need a SSN. Which means that the Social Security Administration has to give you an SSN with a visa that doesn't allow you to work. They do this, but not all frontline employees know this (took me some time to convince them to take my application, by pointing out that they really don't have to decide anything by themselves).
On another note, my main bank still has problems with my account, because they don't know the difference between an ITIN and an SSN (as all employees say the same, I guess that's the result of their faulty training). It doesn't help that the term "US resident" has several definitions. For the IRS, I am an US resident. For the DHS, I'm not. Unfortunately, when filling out forms, nobody defines what definition of "US resident" they mean.
Just to make sure: I'm here completely legally, with a work visa of the non-immigrant type.
I am tickled by that icon of yours...mind if I ask where you got it? oops! sorry, I forgot this site is about credit.
Try HSBC
I qualified for a secured card and for the savings account they sent the form for non us citizens tax id number by mistake. I had to go get the us citizen equivalent from the IRS site. They must have the non citizen forms for a reason.
The preqaulification is pretty easy. Then they send a large packet of forms.

On the second attempt, my first art book, Cataclysm, a post-human miniature time capsule from the future, has reached its funding goal on Kickstarter!
It's still available to back, and I'd love to see just how much it can push past that goal. The £250 I set for this second attempt is a lot lower than the first go, which I aimed for £1000. The first time round, £317 was pledged, and this second go is currently at £259.
I'd love to beat the first attempt, and even push further, towards the original £1000! If you can pledge anything, it's always greatly appreciated, even just an extra £1 to push the project further over that 100% funded line.
And of course, any sharing you can do helps as well.
Thanks for your support, and for anything you can pledge.

Scanning Slides/Negatives
zzeasyJuly 21, 2011
I have an OVT/Vupoint slide/negative scanner and just started scanning some slides from the late 60's and 70's. Some of them seem "washed out" after being transferred, even though the colors seem normal when looked at through a viewer. Had some negatives when I first got the scanner and they scanned fine. Any suggestions? I've tried Picasa and Photoimpression, but they can't recolor the washed-out parts. Thanks! (Also posted on Photography Forum)
