rustled jimmies? WoW is that way -------->

no, and no, you really don't, that's plain to see

what your question should be is, "Why don't you like what everybody else likes" Leaving zero room for personal choice

are being dense on purpose? It has nothing to do with quality. WoW is high quality YES. It was a great game. YES. What we don't need is every single game to be just like it because then we have no variety or choice. Is that so tough to understand?

so the complaint is that there is not enough variety in MMOs and that they're all WoW clones, yet any idea that diverts an MMO from being a WoW clone people shoot down and talk about how it's going to fail because it's not like WoW. Brilliant. Almost every MMO out now is like WoW. You and...

When you insist on instancing, that?s the only way to keep making raid encounters difficult until you can get AI that can adapt to different situations. The rest is just tinkering with an intrinsically flawed design. Raids in EQ were far more exciting than raids in WoW, even though bosses in WoW...

Don?t be an MMO apologist and argue that games are great but we?re just getting older and have other responsibilities. That?s a BS excuse that?s only valid for some people. Objectively new MMOs suck or are just rehashes of ones we have already played. The fact that players now a days are fine...

so how is this going to be different than an amalgamation of WoW and GW2?

don't recall that happening in EQ. When I got my Epic, Primal, Fungi Tunic, Circlet of Shadows. Those meant something and changed the way I played the game significantly. Just because WoW introduced the + stats gear and constant gear resets with everyone being able to get everything doesn't mean...

so should I even bother considering a one sentence review from someone who only got to the teens?

Who said anything about gaming using the tablet screen? The tablet is just a small formfactor. While at home how hard is it to hdmi or widi to your TV and use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard? While you may need a cad rig, Intel is not going to expand its business catering to people like you. You...

Its not something I like but we're headed to a full SOC with board/ ram/ storage / CPU and GPU in one until that cannot be upgraded. One thing fucks up the entire thing is in the trash and you need a new one. Pretty much triple dip because every system you buy will end up requiring that $400 3...

Mobile does not mean phones and phone OSes. Mobile can be an ultra portable PC. PC gaming is not going anywhere, but it's changing. Just 10 years ago the only way to game was on a 100lb casket. Now you can game on an ultrabook if you had to and a fully loaded 17" gaming laptop can run anything...

Has nothing to do with food stamps. Haswell is going to boost ultrabook sales as well as ultrabook-tablets like the Surface Pro or Razer Edge. Lots of business people that want a portable solution are not going to pack a 100lb water cooled desktop casket. Those days are over. Me and lot of my...

What you're describing and seem to be against is a social community based around conflict, alliances and commerce. Limited resources facilitate human interaction. That's what's missing from MMOs. You want winners and losers. You want an upper class, middle class and a lower class. What you...

I would prefer a design concept that works with a specific ideology. For example, I would say "no instancing" period, no exceptions. This would force new non-lazy ideas and innovations. The moment you say "ok no instances, EXCEPT FOR." you stick the camel's nose under the tent and you can never...

Human psychology is not one of your strong points is it someone gets it!

There?s a big difference between, ?hey I have this great idea, how can we make money off it? and, ?hey, I wanna make some money, got any ideas??. The later is how games, movies and music are made today and why they suck. It?s one thing to do it that way with technology. It gives you...

Jesus H that's so boring. Just play a GD FPS FFS. MMOs by nature should reflect a sense of social structure and progression. Theyre not FPS. I don't know anyone but complete retards that just start an MMO and get frustrated by geared players that have been working their asses off for gear for...

best MMO website of all time

PVP in MMOs fail because there is zero motive and objective. People don't go to war just for the sake of killing each other. You need a goal and a purpose. Uninstanced contested PVE content gives a meaning to PVP. You can't just take away PVE and expect people to going around killing each other...

You must have missed Age of Conan where their first raid took them 5 minutes to piece together, consisting of a giant slug inside a cave that did nothing. You must know by now these games are all about getting the initial purchase dollar then fleeing with your money to the Bahamas. "End Game...

looks like a game that starts out slow and takes a couple weeks to sink your teeth into a get a good idea of. Sandbox MMOs tend to do that. Too bad people don't seem to have the patience to get to that point anymore. If they don't log in and in 15 minutes get to experience the extent of the game...

I think that 38 Studios thread could have been subpoenaed in a future trial. Now the evidence is gone like the Enron documents in Building 7. Inside job? Plausible.
