    Gear doesn't blow up, except for clash runes, which is weird, and annoying. You get so used to just plussing up stuff if you've got the mats, then they give you this rune and 9 upgrade scrolls, and so you click click, boom. The combat is ok, like I said, I like the skill chain and stigma system...

    The remote storage isn't just convenience, it's almost mandatory and you will still want as much space as you can get. The game has a ridiculous number of items and sometimes the same type of item is bound or not bound, so they don't stack. There's also all the dumbfuck unecessary scrolls that...

    Yep. That's why I posted it. Systems are not content. And it's like they're trying to disguise the "asian grind" by breaking it up into a 1000 pieces, but I'd rather grind mobs in the same spot all day then have to jump through all these fucking hoops just to grind the same amount in 50...

    Yeah, glad is a bit dull, gonna try out SM and Chanter next. Gonna do Sin main, and prolly a ranger for funsies, but I wouldn't mind having a support as a main alt. Just still trying to figure out how viable having an alt is, with all the dumb shit they do, like bound kinah, and limited stuff...

    I'll be there, that's why I'm messing around on the TW server, got my sin to 45, and dabbling with a ranger and glad. Not messing with endgame much, since I don't wanna do all that shit over again, and the 190 ping makes the interactive boss mechanics a pain in the fucking ass (death waves that...

    Yeah, anyone who would play this game would be playing Aion 1, it's essentially the same game, right down to the sound effects. And I just don't get these asian devs obsession with the systems bloat. All the extra skill boards, and pets and cards and pantheon...ugh. There's just nothing...

    Aion 2

    I don't mind paying the sub now that it's combined, but the sub for AH bullshit still needs to go. At the very least they could make it free to buy, sub to sell. About the only thing going for this game is it's better than T&L. The world feels bland and way too bright. And It's barely a sequel...

    Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

    Just from the cat centaur, it's obviously not reality, And you guys are overlooking Sam's line. "Shitty prompt, guys. Really shitty prompt." Seems to me it's just a VR game he's playing, knowingly.

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    He said OG WoW. At launch, and for a while after, grinding was far more efficient for exp, as well as drops and gold. A later update increased quest xp.

    Ackshually, it was $9.89/month at launch.

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    Wow, that's terrible. What's funny is the same chic who posted the vid that I learned about that article from (when I was checking out the Stellar Blade debacle) just popped up in my Youtube feed with a new video about the Pokemon Go update, and your post is the only reason I clicked it. Wish I...

    Star Wars: Outlaws

    The story is that the objective is not to make female characters ugly, but to make their appearance more trans-friendly. The examples I've seen, including the main character in Outlaws, seem to support this claim. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. "The characters in The Last of Us Part II...

    So, what would be the difference if the second avatar was separate and you had the ability to give them commands? Like in Swtor and other games? Still gay? It's possible that the second avatar is just a traveling companion that is not displayed onscreen at all times, many games do this...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    Yes, that was in the original version, although it was rarely shown or discussed. How is that any different than instantly switching weapons in this version? The "classless" thing isn't really classless. It's more free multiclassing like in Archeage. Although, a bit more annoying since each...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    I posted the launch trailer for the original version a couple pages back. The only real similarity was that it was isometric. What we were shown looked way better than Lost Ark, in my opinion. It just boggles the mind that they would decide to scrap that and release this crap instead.

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    It's just my opinion, but I didn't like NWN combat. I can't really explain what's wrong with T&L combat, something is just off. I did specify FF14 "launch", as in the version of the game they had to revamp and rerelease as Reborn. If you don't remember, the zones had a lot of copy/pasting of...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    So I got into the beta yesterday and tried it out for myself to see if the game had any redeeming qualities. Pros: The graphics/animations, sound, music and cutscenes are all decent, but that's standard for Korean games. I really liked the seamless transition from character creation to the...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    Of course there are, and I'm sure there will be a shitload at launch...for a few weeks. If friggin Quinfall had a weekend beta you'd see the same shit. We all know there are millions of players starving for a new mmo.

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    You can have the same exact amount of "fun" for free. Spending a single fucking penny in this game's cash shop is just begging for more of the same shit.

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    It's like Flip says above, and I've mentioned several times, the game is so fucking generic. If it was generic and did all the generic shit perfectly it might be considered "OK" or "average" or maybe (MAYBE) squeak out a "good", but it doesn't. And even if it did, it would still fail hard, just...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    What I've been saying for months and I've never even played the game. I think it's a little worse than "OK", "barely functional" might be more accurate. One month after Korean launch they merged the 18 servers down to 7. "During its investor call, however, NCsoft admitted that the game had...

    The Crow

    Yeah, my first time playing Tradewars on a multi-line bbs the Sysop called me because people kept whining to him that I was destroying them. I explained to him that's like the whole point of the game. By the end of the call I was a Co-sysop. Fun times. Morgus's movies were usually better than a...

    Deep cut, I remember watching Morgus back in the day. Were you on any of the local bbs's back then? Like The Point and Exoticomm?

    It's facial dysmorphia. Dysphoria is the tranny thing. That's probably next on her list. I don't think she was a 9, except on a cute, girl next door scale, the costume helped, plus makeup. Still a fucking travesty.

    Lost Ark Online

    The patent is irrelevant in that context, I only added it to illustrate the various ways Nexon could adjust percentages. Filing a patent for such things is pants on head retarded. Nor is it necessary to have a patent to utilize such tactics. The main point is that when there is a financial...

    Lost Ark Online

    The problem with percentage chances in an MMO (that most people don't consider) is that since the number generator is server side everyone is sharing rolls, and all the devs usually care about is if the number generator is accurate overall, not per individual. Some games will have a pity...

    Lost Ark Online

    I put it here because I didn't want to start a new thread and Lost Ark is also a Korean MMO, so it's relevant. I'm not accusing Smilegate of anything, but we can be sure Nexon isn't the only company guilty of this, just the first one caught. It's not just gachas. I can't believe I have to...

    The Quinfall

    Was hardly a pump, it was a year ago and when I came across the trailer I thought it looked interesting and since there was no thread about it I made one and literally said it "looks interesting." My intention was simply to put it on our radar and have a place to discuss it as more information...

    Throne and Liberty (Formerly Project TL)

    That was obviously what was going to happen. The game is generic as fuck. There are no hooks. For all the problems I have with Lost Ark at least they got the first thing right. Combat is the core of the fucking game, make it good. Not only did they show how clueless they are with the gameplay...
