    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    This. Honestly the story wasn't all that interesting. Created Spirit Mother Super Being needs help from the space Zombies who gots da Creep. At least TOR had some decent paths that took a little off the boredom but there really isn't any difference in WS leveling and TOR. Btw: this isn't...

    But... that makes no sense whatsoever. It says illicit activity and Real Money Trading. That could also mean selling andbuyingof gold, not just being the initiator of it by means of sales. Those were all permanent. The 12 were placed on probation, so that could mean they didn't actuallybuy...

    As a novice, I wholeheartedly accept this premise. That sad thing is even all the people with the 'experience and knowledge of the PvP playerbase' don't seem to be doing any better than I could based on the history of PvP mmos, save one or two. And that seems to be devs AND players apparently.

    Crowfall

    Yep. MMOs. PvP on any other scale is almost exactly suited for size so balance doesn't matter as much (meaning 3v3, 6v6, 12v12). Small scale battle maps are relatively easy to do outside of an MMO environment I think. Now a disclosure: I'm primarily a PvE player in MMOs. PvP bores me partly...

I'm just trying to address the issue thatalwayskills PvP games and why most are shit because I think most are flawed from the start in how they build them; imbalance that's built in from the...

    Crowfall

    It took playersyearsto come around to that kind of play which had no avatars, no recognizable PvP they had been used to and the need to be versed in Microsoft Excel. So a spreadsheet/non-typical PvP game that wasn't even a 'smash hit' when it launched is what everyone should remember...

    Which is probably why something like that has to actually happen on a larger scale because... Einstein: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Almost every PvP game ever made does just that, every time out. Taking one game that was stillborn as...

    Crowfall

    I know people like this kind of PvP but I never really did. I don't think there should ever be "+1" or "+5" in any form of PvP gear and always thought it was stupid. Why? Because in many cases it instantly gives an advantage to Player A over Player B, especially if all things are equal, which...

    Crowfall

    I think any PvP game nowadays trying to institute a blanket equipment loss on death (elod) is a recipe for disaster and sheer folly. Modern PvP players don't really want that as a whole and you only see that in niche games where the audience is dedicated towards that kind of thing. Players today...

    Crowfall

    Where do you get this from? FFXIV and SWTOR both are decent games, do very well financially and support a large number of high level crafters. In fact with FFXIV, it's to the point where the high/top crafters in the game actually make tons of guides detailing everything they've done and how...

    I see no reason for any player/fan to not have optimism, although realism is a far better fit. There's a reason why they posted this though:

    Problem with this is, this is the dream every game pre-launch has. Then they wake up and find out they are still married to a fat ass wife like Phil and Bob's next door. Nice hype job though.

    Crowfall

    I wonder about the correlation of housing to type of player regarding PvE/PvP. I think most of the people who are looking forward to playing Crowfall and PvP players typically as a group don't give two shits about housing. Some do, but mostly it's PvE/RP folks that are into that. If they...

    Yeah, that's odd. I can't imagine anyone coming from WoW and saying FFXIV's graphics sucks. He probably did download FFXI and thinks that's ARR.

    Picked up the Heavensward expansion off GMG. Hadn't bought anything from them for quite awhile so they sent me a 30% off coupon. I think this will arguably be the best $28.00 for a game purchase I've spent in the last decade. I have my 130 weapon but not the gear due to the PoE Rowena token...

    EQ Never

    Just as some said they want EQN to fail, I would really like to see Trion fall right on it's ass honestly. At least DBG is trying something different and not just on a small scale. Outside of Rift they've been shit overall and that's WITH Hartsman at the helm. I can only imagine where they'd be...

    SWTOR

    That's good and all but that's not the case here. The 'plate/2hr' class in SWTOR is the Jugger/Jedi which weren't considered the easiest/polished by any stretch at launch. You don't know how big the pool of tears were coming from that class, especially in the tanking area vs the other two...

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    That's not the right idea. You Kickstart your game and get players to back it then soon after, you open the game's store and sell game items to those same players while the game itself is years away from being finished. Smed has yet to reach that level of Crowfall pimphood.

    FFXIV General Leveling Guide Tips This site is reputable. Didn't follow this guide since I was a 1.0 player but it's pretty detailed. The main reason you want to do those low cross-skills as I said earlier is getting them out of the way for other classes later. You don't have to do them...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    There is some kind of guide that tells you how to 'quickstart' your classes around what role type you want to play (not sure where) but FFXIV isn't really the kind of game where you pick one class and then run straight through to the end due to cross-skill classing. There are some classes you...

    Will your teenage son be paying for his own sub account, or will you give him X money a month to decide what to pay for? If you're like most parents I know it's the latter. In that case, it would be interesting to see if he chooses to spend $15/month that you give him for this experience in 3rd...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    It could be me as I said, but there are some intangibles. Again, I'm assuming with the console version they are going after new non-MMO players. You playing all the ES series in 1st isn't the same thing as those folks because you haveextensiveMMO experience; they possibly (likely) don't...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    No, the game allows them to switch to 3rd person playing on PS4/XB. Didn't mean to suggest it doesn't, apologies. And sure, a lot of console games give 3rd person, but we all know ES is iconic for it's 1st person. Having those two hands out is one of the things instantly recognized by many...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This console release... I think it's going to bust. I don't think that because the game is not really that great (which it isn't); I think it's going to go bad because of the type of players most consolers are, especially the ones who've played ES for any length of time. I got done watching...

    I think anyone should honestly. Reviews are just a snapshot in time. A person can start out the first couple of years and things are fantastic, then the last go for shit. Or they start out not sure about the company overall because of one or two bad managers that later get the boot and now...

    Fired it up again (was still in the HD). Only talking about the gameplay, it's basically the same so if you didn't like it before you won't like it now. Animations and stuff... I don't see any difference. Swapping weapons during combat a few times... didn't. It doesn't happen all the time but...

    Good practical advice. Pyros seemed to be arguing a different point akin to: "Yeah well sure your Rolls-Royce is expensive, but you should see how much my Maybach costs and then get back to me", especially when the Rosenbooger bow for BRD was cheap comparable alternative for a long time. I...

    Don't forget if your starting/returning, eat the bullshit food while leveling. It's not worth anything since you won't be dying much, but all food has a 3% exp bonus built into it. Unless you want that crit/spell etc food buff that you don't need, stay away from the AH. Just go buy a stack of...

    Now's probably the best time to get back in or start this game if anyone's on the fence. 84-ish days from now the expansion drops but as said, they already are removing the weekly locks on WoD and adding Final Coil to the dungeon finder. Can use that time to get back into the flow of the...
