    Do you still get to keep the inventory space active when you stable the Imperial Horse and use another one?

    There's definitely a problem. Game is supposed to come with 30 days game time. But got charged today, and account says next charge is May 4th. From the official forums: Wtf is this shit? Some of the decisions Zeni makes and the way they go about things are just baffling.

    Got this whilst trying to browse their forums. Perhaps capacity issues are part of their problem as well.

    Regarding the "Smooth launch, no really I promise" claim, I don't know how anybody could take anything Matt Firor says seriously after his initial "Nothing new in MMO's" nugget a couple years back. Didn't stop me from buying, and enjoying the time I've had so far though.

    Thanks for the addon tip. Haven't bothered with any yet tbh but I foresee that time of UI innocence coming to an end soon, unfortunately.

    Haha, well Ghostery does disable a lot of shit, for example, the comments system aka "Discuss" on many websites. A simple click will load it up however, if you wish either on a one time basis or permanently per website. I also generally don't mind enabling text ads on forums and websites that...

    Would be nice to save a few load-outs but unless I missed something that's not a feature. Personally I think the skill system is the most interesting part of the game and you can put together some really interesting builds. As a templar I can already forsee myself swapping at least 4-5 different...

    Well Zeni better have massive content updates planned because as it stands right now, yes the game is good but it has about a 3 month life span just about when the first campaigns end. If they don't, well, Wildstar will be there ready to snatch people up.

    I'm enjoying the PvE questing but only because I'm reading all the books, opening every barrel, and going out of my way exploring and gathering every torchbug I come across. I agree the story most of the time is quite good and fleshed out but its still full of your typical MMO tropes- save the...

    I got the same message buying another game from GMG the other day and immediately received a call from AmEx Fraud Prevention division asking if I had just attempted the charge. I said yes, it was declined, they said OK- NP go ahead and try again. I did, and it went through. I think the payment...

    Each faction has a ton of travel. Its just the game. You'll spend significantly more time running to and fro, especially if you stop to gather crafting mats, than you will actually fighting. Pvp is a bit better in this regard.

    Its a pretty stable launch so far. I have heard of a few quest bugs although I have not yet experienced any myself. Also in chat occasionally you'll see someone complaining about falling through the world. Keep in mine though only Imperial Edition buyers are playing atm. Then in a couple of...

    Any final word on total number of Skillpoints available? Leveling default and then all the extra ones like Skyshards, etc.

    Yeah no joke, woke up about15-minutes early and was welcomed to 'Early start is now live' and 3/4 of all my choice names taken :/ Ah well, such is MMO life.

    Game's super unstable so far this beta weekend. D/C's and server resets every few minutes for a good portion of people.

    Yeah the patcher kind of sucks, but at least I'm able to copy/paste and move around the installation folder without any fuss and no "proper" windows installation. Do like that. Unfortunately bagel bites hurt the roof of my mouth.

    :-) I was only half kidding actually. Because black levels and text usually are really good on IPS panels.

    That's a really great performing monitor I think you'll be pleased. It won't have the colors of an IPS but those newer TN, especially the newer ASUS models which I believe are using Samsung panels, are getting quite good at color and contrast. But of course its also very fast and has Nvidia...

    The thing is that blur exists whether we are conscious of it or not. I suppose the best way to really illustrate it is to see the same motion tests on a display with low pixel persistence and today that would either be an old CRT or a panel with backlight strobing. However if you're not already...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Crowdsourcing unemployment checks and back-pay. Another brilliant innovation from Visionary Realms. They should really just give up the MMO and become a full-time think tank.

    Even 1ms of persistence with 960 pixels per second of motion @ 60 Hz will produce about 16 pixels of motion blur: Now multiply the above by 8. That's a lot of blur even if you're not sensitive to it. Although its also a function of refresh rates, the primary cause is the simply the...

    If its cash-shop conditioning, then that's a pretty shitty move.

    Don't forget the caveat that 5-8ms response times make for a blurry mess in IPS panels. If you're at all sensitive to motion blur in gaming it won't be pretty.

    The entire game is themed to be goofy as hell. The tier sets fit right in with the overall aesthetic, for better or worse.

    There's a ton of WoW mods that "Play the game for you". DBM, class mods, etc.. No, they will not literally allow you to step away from the keyboard, but they pretty much give you, in big flashing audible step-by-step fisher-price directions "DO THIS NOW", "MOVE HERE", "PRESS THIS BUTTON IN...

    Had one bugged quest yesterday. This afternoon though literally each and every quest in my journal was bugged. Like all 10 of them. Oh, and re-logging wouldn't fix them. So gameplay pretty much ground to a halt. I suppose I could have gone galavanting off to some distant POI to try and pick up...

    ~30fps to ~50fps is a huge improvement. This is a very promising sign.
