Well, I think they sound great, and I don't see them being wireless as an issue. To each his own.

You can think that all you want, they don't sound great. They sound like horse shit. That isn't a question, you just haven't heard anything else.

I have, and for what they are, I think they're fine. Reference some "better sounding" headsets so I can get a "better" one next time I buy a pair.

Whether or not these sound better isn't a question. They do. I've owned 5 pairs of G930's. They sound like shit. It hurts me to grab them out of the closet and use them.

A PC360 variance, I.E. Sennheiser G4ME One/Zero. Hyper X Cloud II's (downside is that the mic is very slightly worse).

 

The issue with wireless isn't that they're wireless. It's that they operate on the 2.4GHz frequency band, meaning if you turn on a microwave oven your audio is nuked.

Well, thanks for that. I'll keep that in mind.

Also you have a battery on your head for maximum possible weight. The only thing they are missing is a damn cup holder. Not comfortable for extended use at all. Not to mention I distrust anything with a battery in it but then again I am ranked 310th in the mmo I play so maybe my uses are more intensive than your own.

Death to wireless.

Also the pleather earcups really made me sweat :\ but maybe that's just me.

 

What MMO and what metric? 310th in what?

Runescape, and 310th to "finish" the game. It rewards you with a trimmed completionist cape and every time new content comes out you can no longer equip the cape until you beat that content. It is a static metric though so I don't have to maintain it to stay at 310 but with going on 300m accounts made I take pride in it.

inb4 those shitty graphics. Ik but dat epic storyline. (also massive graphical rework of the entire game is currently in beta and pretty damn decent for a browser game)

inb4 lol can't afford wow. Yea, I grew up poor and played rs because it has an extensive free to play area before becoming a paid member. Also rs > wow in terms of storyline.

You can stop at 310th trimmed completionist.

 

That isn't necessarily 310th best... Or rank 310 Not by a long-shot. Just 310th to get that item that required you to do a ton

 

What they managed to do with a browser game and java is a massive feat. But it's REALLY starting to show its age, even with the graphical/upcoming graphical updates.

 

In terms of storyline I completely disagree with you. While RS has a more unique storyline, it has some tremendously poor writing at MANY points. But to each their own.

 

I have over 300 online days logged in both games. I quit RS right after divination.

 

No need to get defensive about your game choices though  I don't judge.

Some of the stuff they require you to do is some pretty intense bossing. (Also I am currently working on "the insane final boss" title which requires an ungodly amount of bossing) And a lot of new combat stuff has come out since you quit. Long story short but a lot of team bossing is required and as a result dependable gear is a must. Can't have your keyboard, mouse, or headset dying mid kill on you. If you screw up on a pro team... well the internet is not known for its forgiveness.

Also rs gets crapped on a lot because they have a lot of corny writing mixed in with the epic stuff (I enjoy British humor though), and people played it for a few minutes 10 years ago and the graphics were god awful at that point. Also everyone likes to feel superior and wow players outnumber us for sure.

On the subject of java though Jagex is actually moving away from that in their latest version which is the reason behind the massive improvements: http://services.runescape.com/m=news/dev-blog--nxt---gielinor-in-a-new-light?jptg=ia&jptv=community_news

Well WoW is a better game... By far.... But the players are still just players.

 

And yes, I know. I wish they would just finally make an actual fucking engine though. It still looks worse than vanilla wow  The landscapes are starting to look alright, although the render distance fog is killing that, but the character models are still abysmal.

They are working on getting rid of the fog and going with light disbursement or something, and yea no news on character model improvements but hopefully that will be the next thing they work on.

Besides if a browser game that can run at max settings on windows 95 looks almost as good as a cd game's basic version... that's damn good resource management.

Also wow being better is your opinion. It's also the wrong opinion.

Not really an opinion, no. I've played both enough more than enough to compare. RS is a game with some good storyline quests but had gametime artificially amplified by grinding, instead of actual content. If you actually look at it, RS has very little content, just hundreds of hours of grind. The amount of lore in the Warcraft universe drastically dwarfs RS. The good lore that RS has is very good, but there isn't much of it overall. Runescapes primary advantage over WoW is that it had very little fetch-quests, but then WoW runs away with everything else, especially raiding. Bossing in RS is kind of pathetic,  Nex and QBD being the very notable exceptions. RS also had some great minigames, but the population has shrunk so much you can hardly play them anymore unless you are specifically in a clan for it(castle wars).

 

Jagex also puts content out at an alarmingly slower rate than Blizzard, due in large part to the dev team sizes. 

 

On top of that, they shit on their own game so much they had to come out with 2007scape to stop bleeding players.

 

I respect your opinion though, if you like RS more than WoW then good on you, but let's not pretend it's actually better. You just enjoy it more.

An opinion based on personal experience is simply an informed opinion. Just because you actually tried both the things you are talking about doesn't magically make how you feel a fact for everyone else.

Also Runescape has enough lore to fill about 200 pages (with pictures) if someone were to cover all the key points in mild detail. (I know, I actually wrote it all down in a guide)

Yes. That's almost no lore lol. Some races in wow have more lore than that. There are literal book series out there in the warcraft universe that are longer than that. 

 

You have clearly only played RS so you are blinding yourself since you are so balls deep in it and don't want to think that it was a waste of time. Gotta be objective.

a) You don't know that I've only played Runescape.
b) Runescape has actual books out as well. 3 of them, and they are fantastic.
c) Speaking of blind you are arguing an opinion can be a fact...

You mean like that time I was wrong about something and took your advice after doing additional research? And then took your advice a few other times? Yes, clearly I have major issues understanding basic things like the evolution of opinion into fact if you really wish hard enough.

b) Yes. Only 3. 

c) WoW is MEASURABLY better in a ton of ways.

 

Sorry you are so balls deep in a low-tier to average game and get so easily offended.

 

You were ashamed to even say the name of the MMO you play, when you said runescape you had to write an essay to defend yourself before I said one word.

I said that because every wow player reacts in the exact same way whenever Runescape is mentioned... and oh look... here they are. Who could have seen that coming? Oh wait... me, when I explained in advance why I like Runescape better and my opinions on why.

And I give measurable reasons why it's worse. I'm fine with you liking it, I'm glad that you like it... But read through this thread, you started this shit. I never even stated why RS is worse until you acted defensive, like a child.

I'm not remotely angry. Or autistic. But if I were and was called that because someone couldn't understand how opinions work and cared too much what my favorite game was I would probably be pretty hurt by it. That's a douche move right there.

I told you that I'm glad you enjoy it. Go through the thread, I never criticized your opinion once. Not even once. I just stated that WoW has a lot about it that is measurably better.

 

I feel really bad for you :\ well... 1 more for the ignore list, I guess.
