"Sandbagging describes someone who underperforms (usually deliberately) in an event. The term has multiple uses, such as a driver who competes in an event in a series below their level of expertise to finish high."

Assassin build with hints of archery

Tiny Tower maker NimbleBit and Bingo Blitz maker Buffalo Studios both took issue with overly familiar titles recently released by Zynga, making their complaints known through large infographics that show near-identical side-by-side screenshots. But Triple Town developer Spry Fox went a step further, actually filing a lawsuit (PDF ) against Yeti Town developer 6waves Lolapps, saying the latter company “unabashedly” cloned its popular social game. The lawsuit takes the matter away from the nebulous moral and ethical questions of what constitutes an “original” game idea to the codified legal realm of guilt and innocence. Yet the nature of copyright law as it applies to games, and the existing case law in the area, suggests Spry Fox has an uphill battle in protecting Triple Town in court.

In a ranger you need agility and crit chance mainly, ranged attack power is good too.

In dungeons just sit back and provide dps. Watch out for bosses area attacks and make sure to not take aggro from the tanks when casting snipe. If there are many mobs then use attacks like split shot and explosion shot.

At level 60 you will want to have rune gear to get into dungeons. You will also need bloodmoon as a necklace and a good bow to start out with (such as lightning bow, or wind cutter). Complete dungeons in this order: Relic's key > Knahswas Prison > Eristars Temple. Get all the gear from the dungeon before moving onto the next one. Be warned though, getting teams as a ranger is tough due to the high competition.

As you run (Legendary) dungeons your exhaust starts to fill up. The more time you spend inside the dungeon the more exhaust you will use up. Once your exhaust is at 100% you will not be able to enter any of the three dungeons on legendary mode. Depending on the dungeon and team skill you may be able to complete anywhere from 3-7 times. Exhaust resets every 24 hours.

As a ranger you will need to know how to pull bosses. To pull a boss remain in sneak and walk to a bosses location. Between sneaks you will have a 1s cooldown on sneak. You need to stop in a spot momentarily to resneak and continue. Once you get to the boss make sure you are only within range of the boss and no other enemies. You can then attack the boss. After you attack him quickly quit the team by going to the team menu then clicking quit. Wait for an invite and proceed back inside to help kill the boss.

Before the release of Modern Warfare 2, Infinity Ward bragged that it had replaced this "cheap tactic" with a more dynamic enemy AI—perhaps in response to a near-decade of player complaints that infinite spawns made the games too difficult, the design "too lazy." This is a classic example of artists taking the words of a boorish public too closely to heart, perhaps because the artists themselves didn't understand the full power of their design. I'd argue that many dislike these spawns because they work against our deeply ingrained, dominant play methods of taking cover, clearing a room, and moving to the next. The idea that better artificial intelligence could relieve the burden of design betrays a depressingly common technological determinism shared by game developers and consumers alike.

Relic island glitch

Ok here's what you do. Walk back to the island with the purple fog. The arrow does not point to the correct location. Stand on the island in front of the pillar facing the ocean, now walk toward the ocean (almost to the edge) and use the item in your bag, not the detector but the other one that looks like a plant, it's description says something like "purifies the air".

Hope this helps

This apparently former Zynga employee is letting loose on the games firm. (He posted a picture of a Zynga termination letter as proof of ID). He says:

No, this isn't payback, or about a grudge. This is just word from someone who's seen what this industry is capable of doing. Good, and Bad. No, I was not under contract, I was full time, offered stock (common shares, not that options bullcrap). I sympathized with contractors on how they were treated, most of the time. No, I was not some IT mangler. I worked for one of their "game studios", basically the front lines where content made it to the masses.

We can't be sure (at the time of bookmarking - Mon 06/02/12 2122GMT) that this 'engineer' is who he says he is, but his comments are worth a read.

Open Name Ltd. announced that their hit game for the iPhone, Cut the Buttons, will be going free for one week starting today. The game, which has both an iPhone and iPad version, has been incredibly successful since its release, quickly becoming the number one iPad game in Russia, as well as one of the top ten iPad games in China's App Store. The concept is deceptively simple: using a pair of scissors, users must snip and cut buttons on pieces of fabric, and catch them in a cup.
