Legit question. She'll be home to visit this week, I'll have her reply. She's going to love reading the last page of this thread!

LOL! Don't project your life experiences on me! Plus, who said she has to take time off? This new generation can multitask.

I actually listened to all of that. I think you guys are just wrong on people not having the time or desire to play a game that takes an extensive amount of time to progress. I'm 40, an attorney, married with kids, and all I want is a solid MMO that I can play for years and years. I'm going...

I've been on a lot of raids in various games, quite a few times in SWTOR, where your guild kills the boss with like one or two guys left. In EQ1 though, I remember times that one person would save the raid. I know I did it once while we were raiding Agnarr in BoT. Things were pretty messy...

Reveals on the Cleric, Druid, and Shaman were interesting. Shaman sounds OP as fuck with some crazy abilities that sound exploitable. Druid seems far different than the EQ versions. Clerics are clerics.

They did say something along the lines of "one of Pantheon's zones will be the size of all the Karana plains (N, S, E, and W) lumped together", so in many ways, if that is true, that's going to seem a lot like a seamless world.

I guess I'm struggling with the concept of a game taking too long to reach max level, or even play in general. If it's fun, that should be all that matters. What is the difference between playing 5 different games over six months or playing just one game over six months? The time investment...

@a_skeleton_03 I think the answer to when you do the horizontal leveling stuff could be in making the vertical leveling inefficient without current spells and skills. Since you can't just train/buy abilities on level up in this game, it could be almost impossible to continue leveling at a...

You're probably right, especially about the clusterfuck which would occur if the majority of the playerbase stayed roughly the same level and tried to hunt in the same areas. I'm just trying to think of ways to make an MMO that maintains some mystery and keeps hardcore players from smashing all...

What do you think about hard locks on xp gain or severe diminishing returns? Theoretically, as long as there is plenty of horizontal progression for power gamers to sink their time into to improve their characters, it would give them enough to do while capping the ability to rush to max level...

I thought it was a solid AMA. The gem is the 10 week answer. I like that. They have talked a lot about putting the focus on leveling up and horizontal progression (finding spells, long term loots, faction), as opposed to just rushing to level cap. Most of the recent MMOs lack investment...

Bah, I suck.

Where is this leak? Want to read!

Yeah, it was pretty bad. But, again, on the flip side, it does make the current state of the project all the more impressive. I think the vast majority of us, especially when the primary team quit, thought the odds of this game ever reaching the current state of development were at 1% at best...

Well, to be fair, they did start completely over once Joppa took over and decided the company should be run in a legitimate manner. I think that was in 2016. They still move at sub-turtle speed, and I have all kinds of concerns and doubts as well, but I view them as being about three years in...

How much does licensing Unity help with security and anti-cheat concepts? Does Unity handle that backend stuff so that VR doesn't need to focus on that themselves? Will be a shame if they actually get this launched and it gets hacked Day 1, Second 1.

Definitely agree on that. I thought you designed the tanks in a creative manner for sure. Warrior looked superb. Paladin looks like something I might give a go, a tank with CC, heals, and battle rez is right up my ally. Was hoping more for an EQ1 SK than VG DK, but a lot of people seem...

The tank reveals sound pretty interesting, I'm just concerned whether they have the aptitude to code those abilities into the game, they seem somewhat complex and layered to me. Is this a valid concern?

Even with the recent focus on depression due to the increasing suicide rates, it's still extremely difficult for most people to understand how destructive it can be. Losing control of your brain and rationale with every thought path coming up in a negative conclusion is terrifying. You lose...

How do you differentiate paid and unpaid betas? Games have to get a limited amount of folks in to test their game, but not everyone can until perhaps the Open Beta. So, it seems that no matter what some folks are going to get a theoretical "head start" in learning the game. For most of the...

I've been hammering them on the official forums a little bit on the class issue, but only because I enjoy playing the "Control" Archetype and they have sold this game as a "quaternity" where the four archetypes (Healer, Tank, DPS, and Control) are equal. Yet, they'd rather use resources on the...

Not really a die-hard supporter of the game, but I am looking forward to it so I'll throw in my two cents. I did pay $100 bucks for Alpha access awhile back, that's all I was willing to throw in with what they had at the time, which was very little. Might be more willing to throw more cash...

H Joppa did mention on one of the recent chats that the Amberfaet dungeon is a raid zone, so there's going to at least be one. I kind of hope they release at a minimum with sort of an early WoW dynamic where you had the more or less casual raid zone in Molten Core, with the far more...
