hahaha amazing, well done

Mount & Blade mod, plz. :P

I don"t think we don"t need new tech for that, just developers who are comfortable in making a unique and interesting world rather than treadmill content. The biggest thing the MMO world needs technologically is better connections. If/when something like fiber to the home becomes commonplace...

Not sure what world you"re from but even MMO"s with shitty customer service have better CS than most companies I"ve had to deal with in "real life". Not that that"s an excuse, just sayin". Bugs on release that will be patched later is definitely bullshit though. It"s always been a plague for...

City of Heroes had a de-mentor (you bring someone else down to your level) system that worked quite well. Any skills you wouldn"t have at that level are greyed out, and your stats are brought down accordingly. Granted, it was much easier to do in CoH as there was no real equipment to speak of...

The way I"ve always wanted them to implement would be like an FPS game, where it"s more or less a server browser. Also allow access to all scenarios and allow higher levels to down-rank to quite an extent (like if typical bolster puts you to 18, make down-rank put you at 13-14 or something to...

Yeah for sure. Was really annoying trying to sell shit on a mule and having no clue what to price most of the stuff because level just said you can"t use it, and arguing with people about a weapon"s DPS... not that it mattered since every goddamn weapon had the dps anyway heh. Game was way, way...

Being able to mod UI is certainly a good thing but, as we"ve seen with WoW, it can be taken too far and in some cases needs scaling back/nerfing. Unless you think the old to auto-interrupt spell casts and the like were somehow a good thing. The problem is where do you draw the line? Instead...

Wow, very cool to see an inside look of 38S. Thanks for the link. Very nice concept art too. Also: CINTIQ TABLETS! So jealous.

I agree, democratic is a mess, I"ve tried it myself - the worst part is everyone getting their own vision and everything else being wrong even if you"re talking about the same thing at it"s core. Lots of time wasted over little nuances. I guess the # of people holding titles doesn"t matter as...

I don"t know why you"re bringing up VG, I only used Brad as a "what not to do" example and I"ve never raided in it. I said it"s meaningless because the lead designer having or not having raid experience will not make/break a game. If he"s the only designer on an MMO then the game is most likely...

I wanna be the guy! In all seriousness, this topic is getting obnoxious if not embarrassing. One man"s prior gaming experience on a major product"s development does not mean anything even if he"s the lead designer. The only case in which it does is if they"re a dictator designer aka McQuaid...

Heh I could see how EQ could make you a tradeskill hater. Making arrows for ranger twink = wrist falls off. I"m not too huge of a crafter myself either but that"s only because most of the times it"s done horribly imo. UO"s system pretty much has me looking down on everything else and...

I don"t think you really need to be very experienced to make "good" (and I think a lot of people are here are defining "good" as "difficult") raid content. The balancing of it would be pretty boring I imagine, just statistics. In fact, I think being an experienced raider may even hinder you...

LOTRO"s system was good until you get GM and then it"s like... mehhhh. It"s just farming all over again. Even worse in some cases, the shit they want you to get for stuff that will be necessary to raid (brilliant tokens for example) is insane. 6 beryls per 6 people per 15 minutes in a raid -...
