Since everyone is armchairing I may as well throw my 2 cents in. This assumes of course there is more leveling content than anyone one character can complete like in EQ or VG.
An idea I've had for one aspect of AA's is this: If you mentor down to any major area or dungeon and "complete" it...
Mixed feelings about Silius being on the team. He created some good things in VG like Equipment Expertise and the Crafting system... but the "Shores of Darkness" and "Expansion" updates for VG were a disaster.
I would actually be very surprised if it doesn't get funded and is indeed vaporware. Everyone knew what state Vanguard was in when it launched and yet it still sold ~200,000 box copies; the allure of a current gen "hardcore" PvE mmo was enough to get people to buy. And my suspicion is that...
In all seriousness focus on 4-5 heroes you like the most that fill the same role and only play them. Then queue with at least 2-3 ppl in your skill range and you'll very rarely be in the situation you were describing.
Also, never ever ever go Aghanims on Doom.
His art was always agnostic to what art style they use for the actual game. Yes, if IV or VI were made today they would not have the same look as the pixel games, but they still would have had completely different art styles than any modern FF. All the proof you need is the cinematics they made...
Never played anything past 9 and even that game was fairly disappointing. All the characters since then have looked like such colossal faggots that I don't even care about the series anymore. Aesthetics are underrated as far as games go, and the modern final fantasies have none.
EE did the same thing at Dreamhack as well when he was in No Tidehunter.
Arteezy playing out of his mind on day 2, his Puck, OD, & Storm were amazing. And never ever give Sing mirana... he somehow always ends up with Manta + Mjolnir at 35m.
I don't really care about Diretide so it was a big 'whatever' from me.
However, it's about time Valve got it's comeuppance about it's lack of communication. As a long time Counter-Strike player it was very frustrating never knowing what changes were coming next. A lot of people forget CS was...
Breaking Bad Finale Spurs Bitter Lost Fans To Harass Damon Lindelof On Twitter | Giant Freakin Robot
Damon Lindelof getting (deservedly) thrashed on twitter.
Server first Nefarian and C'thun in Vanilla WoW. Also first week of Rift trying to down the first raid boss, Hist yelling "slimes slimes slimes slimes slimes" for a full minute straight.
Maybe nothing will come out of this but you're wrong if you think there's only a handful of people that want a "hardcore" MMO. How many average MMO players do you know that prefer Vanilla WoW over any other version? That's all I hear from friends who played WoW back in the day but never played...
