    Archeage

    In the RU client I hold Shift and just drag the UI frames. I assume that wouldn't change between versions. Eh, I'm familiar with those practices, but ArcheAge isn't an open source project and Trion isn't its developer. I imagine Trion to be a translator in addition to publisher for the West, at...

    Archeage

    So it turns out there's a serious way to abuse game mechanics... Reading that made me think about what the turn around time will be for Trion asking XL Games for a change and us getting that change patched in.

    This gave me a huge laugh. I played a WoW Rogue for years but I've never spammed my abilities. One button press at the end of an animation or right before a GCD ends does the exact same thing; and whenever I watch others' gameplay videos and I see a "that ability isn't ready" or "you can't do...

    The cooldown is only like a second long, and your ability to role switch would be dependent on your abilities. If you're a Dragon Knight you could have a bar full of CC and damage abilities, then switch to a bar that has Spiked Armor (that'll raise your Armor value to the soft cap easily) and...

    Tuco, you may be too busy leveling or PvPing when this point comes, but I'd like to know the name of the campaign in which PRX ends up.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This is a video released today by someone with PTS access. You can tell that it was recorded after the API changes because the UI add-on he's using (FTC) cannot read the Magicka and Stamina levels of his targets. It can read their long-term buffs though. Buffs with a P on them are "permanent,"...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Except that isn't true. You can't monitor your own buffs shorter than 30seconds, but you know what your add-on can still monitor? Your enemies' buffs longer than 30seconds. You can still sneak up on someone, spy that he's a Vampire via his buffs, switch in some fire damage ability(-ies) onto...

    The underlined portion of that second quote is apparently wrong, via Paul Sage's recent commentary on the API changes. What I find hilarious about that, however, is that their recommendation to know about what is happening to your character or your enemyis to stare at health bars and ignore...

    Do you play ES games on the PC? I'm only asking because I don't know anyone who does play 'em on the PC without a modded UI. TBH I don't care about a game's style, or a developer's vision, if it makes the game less fun.

    Every time I read some snip about watching/playing the game instead of the UI I want to ask "what are you talking about?" Burning oil, Searing Strike, Fiery breath and Sun Fire all have the same fucking debuff animation, but at least one of them can kill an ally in 3 ticks if not dispelled with...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I don't think I'd count Wildstar among the "action combat" MMOs. If you interact with an object in the world that spawns an enemy NPC, and you turn to that NPC and press a hotkey there's a significant chance you'll get a message stating you can't attack your current target, because the game...

    Craglorn is hitting the PTS a week or so after launch, which should give them a few weeks of tuning and bug fixing to drop it in late April... provided their testers can/decide to test it.

    There were rumors of an "exploit," but I think the change to Cyrodiil quests (they went from repeatable and shareable to dailies I believe) made what LoD pulled off impossible now... probably.

    Here's something I said on Reddit: The whole "play the game not the UI" mantra does not work for ESO. The animations aren't good enough, nor are there even enough of them. Also animations, even when immensely noticeable, do not always tell you what is actually happening; i.e. Fireballs that do...

    Also: - You can see how much damage you just took, but not what kind of damage (fire/physical/magic - FYI some "fireball" spells don't do fire damage!) or from whom (which player hit you). - You can no longer see your Resistances, spell penetration, critical damage, etc. - You can no longer...

    Amusingly (to me anyway) I think that second change hurts PvE lovers more than PvP lovers, but the clamoring for restrictions were mostly for "fair" PvP. Mmmm, schadenfreude.

    I wouldn't classify TESO's combat as traditional if only because you can manually block in lieu of there being a "dodge" stat or something similar. Though it certainly isn't as "action oriented" (I feel like this is a poor descriptor but an alternative escapes me) as TERA or even GW2.

    I found it more enjoyable than Wildstar's, but it's not The Best. My favorite MMORPG combat system has been TERA's.

    For the first month or two I don't doubt they can deliver substantial (subjective word, I know) content, because we already know they're working on the Thieves' Guild, Dark Brotherhood and Craglorn, but afterward... will be interesting.

    That may have a bit to do with how the "beginning area" of the EP and DC are split between 2 islands and AD only has Auridon, along with Angry Joe being an imbecile whose opinions sway like a boat sail. I enjoyed the main story of the AD (in so far as I could progress in it on weekends) but the...

    As I understand it, the issue is not that Templars needed to spam heals on themselves but the fact that the Restoring Spirit passive allowed them (Templars) to actively replenish their Magicka by spamming any skill that used Stamina, making Stamina useful to any build, even those that would...

    Does any other MMO offer an FOV slider? Planetside 2 is an MMOFPS and I don't think even that has built-in FOV customization.
