That pisses me off. It must be taught at Fuckface PR firm 101. If you fuck up just say it was a 'learning experience'. How many dumb fuck athletes or corporate dick heads get in fights with the public, beat their wives, show their dicks to interns, drop the ball or say something stupid and...

It's sad. Short term gain that has brought long term destruction. I'd like to know how much of their revenue is from cash shop transactions. While not in the '2% of whales generate more than 98% of everyone else' of most free to play games, I wouldn't be surprised if it's still quite high...

I gave up on hardcore after the intro. As a first play through it was looking to be too frustrating to play this for the lack of save points. I'm 4 or 5 hours into it now. It's pretty well done and gorgeous, playing on a recently new PC. I'm not sure I'd go out and buy a new PC just for it...

This sort of strategy is solid and works most of the time. But it's superficial. If you want to be right more often you must take a closer look at underlying issues. The attitude that you share with Asmon is base level thinking. It's better than no thinking, but there's plenty of room for...

tldw: He doesn't like the animations or art style. Confusingly he uses the term gameplay when he means animations.

I wouldn't be surprised. The problem is in aggregate player/client feed back 95% of the time awful. Idiotic, clueless, screeching retarded rambling. So they rely on stats and some moron employees who have qualifications in certain fields but don't understand the product (i.e play the...

Also if you are a developer and you are campaigning to add a feature because it's fun. It's 100 times harder than campaigning to add a feature that 'looks cool'. No one funding a game wants to hear or is capable of understanding about the long ranging effects of how something like "x% stat...

The problem here is that Devs and publishers these days are pushed against procedural generation. Because the game play of most modern games is so fucking dull that it needs to be hidded by the individual, hand built, artistic & beautiful worlds that can only be created by manual labour and...

That's WoW pre alpha.

Yeah the one I sold was a warlock, good raid gear. But that's all. It was probably the peak of account values though, sold it after our guild fell apart after AQ vanilla going into Naxx.

Back in the day, I sold a WoW account for 2 or 3k and bought a new pc with it. I wonder how little your whole account is worth these days.

Kick starter just increases the chances the business is a scam. There is still a chance it isn't. And there are legit businesses that wouldn't' exist without it. The problem is deciphering which is which. The problem I have with Kick-starter is that the investment alternatives are illegal...

No point retaining customer service staff when you have no customers.

That letter is spot on.

Graphics, animations I won't argue for time saving reasons. But gameplay, there needs to be a shakeup in MMO games. MMOs have devolved into slot machines, they have the complications, skill demands of a slot machine and the rewards of a slot machine. Old ideas were better than what is the...

Operation Tell Valve All The Things, 3.0

Steam charging developers 30% has always been robbery.

Pretty much every business ever runs at a loss initially. If it does become a success, the atrophy to yet another corporate entity can be spread over a long time. Some of you nerds could do yourself a favour and hold off on the Doritos and Mountain Dew for a month, find something to hope for...

Pledging is like giving to charity. You do it because you want people to see how generous you are... Pledging is like loaning money to family members. You do it fully expecting to never see a cent of it again... Pledging is like anonymously donating to a charity and never telling anyone...

Oh there will be people streaming it. 250k played Vanguard at launch, Pantheon will get at least that. The problem with this game and mmo's in general, is it's boring as batshit to watch the streams. Gameplay of mmo's doesn't translate well to streams. There's too much shit going on. The...

I think the time for this type of game is the next few years. Look at WoW classic, WoW has become so distorted from what it set out to be that Blizzard are being forced to re release Vanilla WoW. And they're doing it as a propper, big investment expansion like relaunch. This is not by choice...

Yes, once I heard that they're using unity for Pantheon, that gave me a little PTSD. I don't know much about it, perhaps it can handle it fine? But I haven't seen a MMO with unity. I'm happy with 24 man capped raids. I think they work well. It's enough players to be part of a big team, but...

Thats the deal with these types of games. Social mmo's need to fucking nail the launch. Because as a player you rely on other people & a populated world to make or break the game. You HAVE to play at launch, or hope the game be a runaway success that brings more and more people. It's a...

Blizzard can't move that fast, assuming they can get this game out within a few years. I don't have much faith in Blizzard anymore, it looks patently obvious their best days are behind them. It seems I was one of the few people who enjoyed Vanguard. Despite its bugs and unfinished state, I...

It will be interesting to conduct a poll on a non compromised forum. So, who?
