Consider this a friendly warning... quit now. If all you're looking for mainly is open-world PvP here, go check out ArcheAge. Seriously. You could be building labor points as you read this instead.

I hope so. I'd hate to think I was doing it wrong all this time since returning. Four augments in each slot.. whooo!

eh? You can have four augments on one piece of gear? I didn't know that. How long has that been going on because I just came back two months ago and didn't notice that. I thought one was still the max.

I dunno about all the PvP in game but that sounds like...

Carbine's Donatelli and Moore on WildStar's population and philosophy- Massively interview Flaknuggets: Mike Donatelli:"WildStar currently has hundreds of thousands of active players. Would we like more? Absolutely." Chad Moore: "Because of this added attention to the difficulty of...

Yes. Let's say you have 4 50's from each class with buffs on one server. If you take just one of those and xfer it to another server altogether and then start a brand new character on the new server, the new character will have all four class buffs from the start. If you only have two, then...

If you're just interested in leveling the class storylines, it doesn't matter what server you're on. You're not going to be grouping with people because there's no point (unless you want to do a daily Flash for the 10 comms). If you're doing the story, you won't want people talking while you're...

There's definitely room for both, as I don't necessarily see the people who play Landmark as the Trove type of player. I see the Trove type player former Minecrafters, which is their direct competition (Cube World also). The problem with having a 20 second staircase (or other types of...

Treek's the best healer in the game if you care about that kind of thing. Just gear it up.

Tried it at a friend's house. Comparing this game to EQL reminds me of when people compare Hearthstone to Magic:Gathering or one of the deeper CCGs, except a Hearthstone that's not as addictive. There's some interesting ideas but it all seems themeparkish in feel which is weird, and that's...

Gearing hasn't been a problem at all. It becomes even less of a concern if you are doing any of the healing classes because your basic healing skills can keep companions up easily without a lot of gear, especially when throwing in Heroic Moment (people seem to keep forgetting about that every 15...

Warrior story down. Total time: Four days off/on at a leisurely pace. Painless, easy and actually... rewarding. Now over to the Pubs to do the Smuggler story next, then I'll finish off my Counselor. Didn't feel like struggling through a healer back in the day during questing but now I'll just...

You don't have to turn the exp off. The 12x bonus only applies to Class story quest, not the Planet questline. So if you want to do them both at the same time it's easy.

Don't forget FFXIV. They have some really big releases as well. It is weird how they space them out, but given a lot release at the same time of year (even in different years), bound to get the overlap. All that's missing is for TSW to get off the pot and put something out. They must be...

I guess I'll stay subbed. There's some good stuff in there. Looks fairly meaty, some type of WoW skill changes, not bad. Can't really balk at the expansion price. The Defiance Season Pass was $40.00 for five Kate Moss like DLCs spread out over a year so this isn't too bad.

This doesn't have as much to do with the games themselves as the players and archaic features of those 'great' games in the past. The people who make it to the top nowadays are very eager to write guides to tell other people how they did it. Put their personal tag or guild ID on it and...

Eh? "Very long time getting to cap" in WoW? I remember when I left FFXI and went to WoW, I was able to max 3 characters to 50 inside less time than it took me to get one to 3/4 in FFXI. Granted, FFXI was sit in one spot and grind for 4-6 hours on only two different types of mobs plus a death...

Kind of reminds me of now in FFXIV. The spammers are all but gone from the open chats, so now they send you a Friend Invite instead. Of a different query, those NPCs that hackers are spawning. I heard they don't drop loot but do they give exp? Anyone try and kill one of them?

Pfft. I quit after 30 days but in 10 years, I'm gonna tell everyone that I did all of that too.

This industry? Anyone working on ANY project will get a shot at another game. There seem to be very few blacklists out. Competency doesn't really matter; it's how cool that bro you worked on Warhammer with was and how he was a hoot everytime he got drunk. Oh yeah, and he gave good email...

Yeah I agree when companies cheese models or even reuse the same boring animations like Rift does between classes. The only time I don't consider it to be that much of a problem is when the gameplay is far above how something looks, which is rare. I promised myself that no matter how screwed...

Wouldn't playing something that isn't normally you IRL qualify as disconnecting from reality? What about a Puerto Rican guy playing an Asian character? Is that lame too?

SOE president confirms EverQuest Next headed to PS4, more in AMA- January 25, 2014 PS4 EverQuest Next not a priority- August 12, 2013 /shrug take your pick.

I get what you're saying but isn't it a bit early to say who's staying yet? I mean, the game is only three weeks old and most of those sheep haven't even gotten out of the pen yet. Even WildStar and TESO didn't have people fleeing en masse after three weeks time and was praising them on the...

Oy vey. Since you couldn't tell that wasn't about you, I'll have to make it clear. *It wasn't about you.* Genre has changed, man. You claim no one pats themselves on the back after killing an inferior force. I simply don't know where you've been playing recently where that isn't the norm...

See your problem is you've been hanging around PvPers with some sort of ancient code. That isn't actually how PvP works these days though. How it works is... my group will kill you and then we'll teabag you, kick your corpse and sit on your corpse until you respawn. Then if you're stupid...

Give it time Daid. One thing that SOE showed me with Landmark was truly that the 'devs were listening'. Oh, and responding to ideas publicly. No reason the Next crew couldn't follow suit.

Umm.. drop another decade and you're in the ballpark. Howolddo you think that commercial is anyway? From the Sixties? The date is right on the top.

But...can'tdefend it there. Think that's the point. They looked ready to defend it from those pics as you suggested, just the game mechanic wouldn't allow them too. It's possible they didn't know that would happen in that area since a lot of people still aren't sure about the crazy rules of...

I may be giving away my age a bit but yeah... Hated this shit and it's why she was my 5th.

Interesting. I remember something last year that said CCP announced EvE had around 500k subs. I figured there might be some people boxing and guessed their real number was around 300k. (figuring -200k was a good number of bloat to take off considering everyone possibly would have at least one...

There are numbers that fans and players say are 'good enough' and then there are numbers that people who actually run the companies say are far too low for the effort. In those cases I'm pretty sure if the companies freely released the actual sub information, most people would agree there are a...

Well, would you call an mmo with 5,000 players 'niche'? How about 10,000? What about 50,000? 75k? Not sure why you say you can't base niche off today's market.

I can see we'd just go round and round so last post on this for me to let people get back to EQN. We'll see what happens to the sandbox genre and why we can't go back when the people in AAge have been playing a few months and realize the amount of time it pulls. Half of those morons still...

I stand by this. That crowd (us) isn't the main demo anymore. You know that. And I'm not talking about 'borrowing' parts from games because it's practically impossible to take all the good things from each game and then roll it into one product, which people keep asking for. When you were 10...

EQ when it launched was a rock star. There was little competition in the genre overall compared to what competition is out today (at least according to this, cause my memory is hazy)Category:MMORPGs by year The actual amount of people playing MMOs then weren't anywhere near as large as the...

Ah good then. Was thinking.. Darkfall all over again when someone steals your mount, but for good.

Before TESO, a lot of people thought that would be Zenimax but... guffaw. If Smed can't pull Next off, then it's going to have to be someone fromoutsidethe MMO scape because that means most everyone in the MMO field is too tainted to be counted on. Tainted by the money (cash shops) or tainted by...

Wait.. you can stealships?? I know about packs but I thought when someone built a ship and you burn it, they can resummons it later after a timer expired but they never lost it.

The problem is with us, dear friend. We're getting old. The reason that's a problem is because our demo is shrinking, not growing. Our mmos when we were younger never had any real flash, substance or pop to them. Most were basic. Remember when we saw our first staff that actually...
