    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    My problem with the art is that some stuff looks sort of realistic and others look way too Looney tunes. Which causes stuff to look disjointed. Also, some areas have objects that seem thrown in randomly and don't match the terrain very well. But I'm guessing that's just cause it's beta screenshots.

    Did they improve the game significantly in Open Beta? or is it the same? Anyone that can summarize the improvements?

    The Secret World

    I'd definately play this game more if monsters weren't a pita to kill. Single fights take forever, and if another monster joins in, I'm almost dead. If any more than 2, I'm definately dead. Why I quit playing and don't look forward to any more Funcom games. I can understand the occasional...

    How to addict consumers to a real next-generation MMO

    to add to my previous post, EQ's solution to making you special was; -A heavy grind to end game, or just a heavy grind -Rare drops, or drops on random timers or long timers that had to be camped. -Factional grinds, key grinds, grind grind grind Other games made you special by locking...

    How to addict consumers to a real next-generation MMO

    I like the ideas so far, I hate the MOBA idea. I don't play LoL for that reason, as someone else pointed out it takes out the RPG of the MMORPG. It's no longer about the character I love and have adventured with, it's about bringing the right character to the fight. LoL revolves around the...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    of the starter packages which characters would you guys recomend? Looking for something that I can solo with easily and don't end up having to whack-a-mole monsters down. https://presale.marvelheroes.com/ind...ter-packs.html

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Alright, I don't get it, I looked everywhere, and I didn't find any way to start playing. You guys are open beta testers or something? Founder's pack purchasers? Only thing I found was 2+ early excess if you bought a founder pack, but even 19.99 is too much for me for this given how long I...

    Falling out of love with gaming

    I'm on the same boat as the OP. However, I've found that I've been Roleplaying more and joining roleplay servers from the get go. I'll blow through the content and then settle down at a roleplay hot spot and chill with the non-Erping/Furry Rpers. I know it sounds kinda sissy, but it fills in...

    Neverwinter: PC

    Well fuck, another rollback then? I guess I'm pretty much done. Got my GWF into the 40's only to get rolled back to 31. My TR almost to 40 and now back to 29 or so. I'm the sucker that can really only play evenings on the weekend. Last weekend I marathoned a bit to get higher only to lose all...

    Can one of you guys explain what this "unsigned integer" bug thing is? Is it like a variable that overflowed with data or something? Maybe a layman programmer's explanation?

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I'm ok with the Loony Toons scenery and style. I liked the way WoW looked and so on, I don't mind it. My problem right now with WildStar, is that unlike WoW, it seems unconsolidated. It seems like the artists did a bunch of stuff and the world artists/designers just dropped them randomly all...

    Neverwinter: PC

    The blue stealth bar is really killing me. You can move every UI element but for some dumb reason we can't move that bar. Even in STO I moved all those bars out of the way and into more intuitive locations. Wondering if the one dev that lurked the FOH forums lurks around here so he can see...

    I call those my "best buys" of the year awards. It used to be just pc games, but now I've extended it to any form of entertainment or tools. In my gaming category: 1) Neverwinter Nights (including the two main expansions. 2) Mount & Blade 3) EQ 4) Blood Bowl (all three) Neverwinter...

    EQ - The Sleeper

    Around the time this stuff was hot, I wasn't high enough or in the "in-crowd" to know what was what. But what was the deal with Rubicite armor? Why was it eventually removed? I know the manastone debacle, to the point where it eventually was nerfed to oblivion. But what was really the...

    Defiance (Syfy April 2013) TV Series and MMO

    The problem with all that is that it loses focus. So you want me to get involved with the intricacies of the town's people. Their love lives, their dilemmas, and so on. So now the chaotic post-alien apocalypse world outside loses luster, importance, urgency. If you throw in anything from the...

    Defiance (Syfy April 2013) TV Series and MMO

    Meh, I was face palming the whole time. Why didn't they just leave at Nolan and Irisa going from post apocalyptic town to town, doing jobs. We got to learn more about them little by little and things could be kept fresh every week. Instead we get Days of Our Lives, with some really crappy...

    Love that backstory! Unfortunately it's been done before. A similar one, but close is the backstory to AT-43. Too bad Rackham went under and we never got much out of it besides the core rulebook and the various army splat books. From Wikipedia...

    Buying a car?

    Was thinking of picking up an F150 extended cab. Putting my 2006 Avalanche (only 30k miles) in for some trade in cash. Until my dad talked sense into me and convinced me to invest in a house. Still the F-150 is growing on me.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Not as bad as; "Well that's you're opinion", "to each their own", and "I guess we'll have to agree to disagree". No motherfucker, you were wrong, you're still wrong. It's not my opinion, it's not my belief, it's how things work and you're wrong. I'm normally pretty cool about an argument...

    PC Controllers and Peripherals

    Ok see that's the thing, glad I started this topic. I want one I can also play non-fighting game with too, like in the MMO topics some of the guys are saying some are better with controllers. So the PS3 controller it is, which is kind of cool since I got a friend that'd sell me one. Just...

    -Nearly empty theatre, find a seat perfectly in the middle with several empty seats next to me. Friends skip a chair giving us enough space between us. Movie's about to start, only to suddenly get a surge of last minute idiots fill up the theatre and some dumb parent telling his kid to sit next...

    I got to 440Ego or so, got burned out, and went and downloaded Fallen Earth... Now I'm hooked on FE, they made a lot of changes. Streamlining the process and you actually start with guns now.

    PC Controllers and Peripherals

    Figured I'd start a thread for those that could share recommendations on good controllers and peripherals (such as mice, joysticks, etc) for PC. Searched and didn't see such a thread, if there is feel free to smash this one into the other. So I've had SF4 on steam for a while as well as SF X...

    The 14 minutes was kinda cool actually. Too bad it's on a channel I rarely watch or flip to, I don't even know what channel number it is. I think I can do better CGI... Not a fan of the characters either. The Sheriff (Cooper) is about the only one I'm cool with. All the chicks are "Man in a...

    350 ego, shit's very crazy. Most fights are now swarms of 99er dudes with shields, followed by 4+ elites of the same version. 6+ melee dudes, and sometimes 2 or more elite versions of those. Sometimes all of that is followed by a swarm of hellbugs. Some of the side missions are getting super...

    Not sure if it's been mentioned here but evidently you only get Weapon Skill if your weapon is leveling up. If it's maxed out you don't gain any weapon levels? Kind sucks to have to constantly be changing to trash weapons just to keep leveling up your weapon skills. Maxing out a weapon earns...

    Ego 277, not sure what I did to my assault rifle and SMG (both purples, the rifle from the Episode reward, the SMG I got from a lockbox). I modded them with scopes and some green mods. Now I can zoom in on both my SMG and Assault rifle as if they were a Sniper rifle. Wish I would have worked...

    I believe you simply drive to a new "hub" (typically marked by grey shopping cart icons, or what ever it is). It should automatically give you the flight path... Not sure that it's link to story. Also if you don't like the atv, or the Dodge, look all the way south along the coast line...

    Defiance

    Basically once you're done with the first Episode, that's it. Aside from repeatable side quests, Arkfalls, co-op dungeons and such. In other words think SW:TOR Act 1. Hence the "season pass" so you can save on additional Episodes. Anyone else that can chime in, or clear this up would be helpful...

    Man I'm hoping the season episodes are cheap. Cause I dunno, but I think the game is kind of short. I'm hoping it isn't.

    Ego 176 I think. I live in Madera, and it's not where the game says it is... -You get Overcharge, almost for free. If you did the Ego perks promo codes thing at the My Ego website thing, it will give you the Perk that allows you to get more salvage per loot drop. That links to Overcharge...

    Same boat here regarding why I bought it. I broke my cardinal rule of never buying premium ($60) again... I HATE that I can't look around my mangina. What use is buying Barbie clothes from the cash shop if I can't look around my character? And getting on an ATV doesn't cut it. I play these...

    The problem is you're dealing with Devs that are really snotty. You thought some of the indie guys around here were full of themselves, hah! Nothing worse than the new breed of Maxis or any of those teams involved with games like the Sims 3, etc. Those guys think they're Tarzan's mother...

    Star Trek Online

    The thing is, unlike other games where you're hopping between gear and such, a ship is a long term investment. I'm still using my Intrepid I got years ago, as well as my raptor I got for my Klingon character. So $25 in my mind is reasonable. And I'm the first to yell murder when I see Cash shop...
