    Tom Clancy's The Division

    So it's exactly like finding magical items in Diablo 3. Makes sense to be honest. Although the % to drop for HE/Set items should scale up with difficulty.

    Yeah this is right. However people that don't do game development or follow it don't realize that the more you move to the server the more it has to communicate with players. Not just you but everyone, and every intractable object, around you. This may be fine with a very mature netcode...

    Making gameplay changes like taking out a feature that's exploited takes time. There are so many things that can go wrong and do go wrong that you then have to unfuck. Then that unfuck fucks 10 other things you didn't think of and now you just spent 4-5 months on one issue. People don't...

    So I'm guessing the Kunoichi is coming sometime soon to NA.

    The underlying game is good. There is just so much wrong around it. That's fixable given time/money/competent team with support from an awesome publisher. Yeah the game is fucked. I'll keep playing it for what it is but I have zero hopes for massive improvements or getting what was...

    Ok I'll bite. wtf happened now? I looked and found nothing about Nazi/racist shit and I sure as fuck not going to do google searches for the 3rd so what's all this about?

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    This is what happens when a developer is desperate due to lack of time to properly balance and test their game. It can take many months to do this properly and may require re-writes in your code or changes to how the gameplay functions which can add even more time to development. Blame Ubisoft...

    What's your point? By that logic what's STO doing here? What's GW2 doing here? Move it or leave it. You will never make everyone happy. What do you care anyway? Aren't you one of the biggest shit disturbers here? Nothing will ever make someone like you happy so why would anyone give a...

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

    Saw part of the latest video they put out. Haven't followed this game at all. All I know is I was hooked on EverCrack for years and it looked like EverCrack at a glance. Is this the real EverCrack II or should I pack up my lunch money and go home?

    I'm not sure Tuco. What Chris wants and what Chris gets out of the engine are two different things. Chris originally wanted 3 star systems up and running by latest... early this year. We have 1 planet and 3 moons. Why? R&D. They overcame massive R&D hurdles late last year by the German...

    As of Alpha 2.3 it's 24 ships/players. If we go backwards Alpha 2.0 was 16 ships/players. Before that Arena Commander was 8 players. Large World is what allowed them to expand to 16 and cutting down the size of memory usage per ship helped hugely as well. That's still pending for a...

    The number of ships limit is almost entirely a server side computational issue. As they get better net code the number goes up and this has already happened. When massive changes are happening to the code base (item port system 2.0) you are not going to see major changes to the net code...

    Their intent is more important than what is currently in game. That's pretty normal for game development. Parallel zones are no longer the direction they are going with and instead it's a phase system like Guild Wars 2. Until a final system is implemented, tested and approved there is little...

    I'm guilty of running tunnel with shit gear but what choice do I have? I refuse to step into DZ because of hackers. There are not enough Hard dailies to do to progress unless you want it to take few months. wtf? So tunnel it is. It's literally the only reasonable way for you to get a...

    Just to correct the next patch is not going to have a ton of new content in it. Unless things changed since last week. The biggest items are 2 ships, one flyable one hangar and some persistence. Changes to a lot of other underlying systems continues and that's going to be the case for the...

    Pretty sure the UN mission is 2-6 PC on Hard. That has been my experience. You get 3 sets of purple drops so it's good for mat farming (except Tools and Electronics) but that's about it. There is no variety so after a few runs you might have 10-15 phoenix credits if you are very lucky and...

    My uPlay name is Sausage_Carius. I'm on PC if you want to add me. My gear is shit atm cause I haven't been exploiting. Even with all purples the best I can manage is 80k dps and about 45k hp. Nobody will take you to do challenging runs unless you have about 120k dps and 50k hp at a bare...

    Yeah the cheating is keeping me out of DZ. On another note a ton of people are reporting high or maxed CPU usage after the patch. I still got 22min until I'm patched... anyone else run into this issue?

    Yeah what it says is what it's supposed to do on the item. The problem is there are so many things broken right now nobody knows if some of these things are even working. For example Scavenging is apparently broken and does nothing. Or the base %, which we don't know, is so low that adding...

    Well I suckered myself into getting it for a simple reason. There are no other cover/shooter type games out with an RPG element that is worth a damn. I have this craving for this type of gameplay and ME3 MP is no longer good enough for me. For me The Division scratches that itch. I just...

    Well I like the fact that they are, for once, sticking to a reasonable release schedule. No matter how little or how big the changes they need to keep pushing this. Incremental changes allows testers to better test the game and give more meaningful feedback. I stayed away from SC for the...

    lol that's horrible but you know what? at least now they can work on trying to fix that shit... the sad thing is all of this should have come up in Alpha or earlier during testing so we don't have to deal with it now.

    To answer your first question PvE and PvP exist together in SC. They don't ever get separated so it gives everyone a sense of unease. Positive game development choice IMO but we still haven't seen how it will fully play out and won't for another 9-12 months minimum? Love your second point...

    So finally someone wrote a truly legitimate article about SC that isn't about how impossible it is to combine all the features CIG is trying to combine yet it can sink the game long term. I think it's a very legitimate concern. Some player control is planned but only post release and god knows...

    Still haven't managed to group with anyone and I'm 25. Maybe nobody is actively looking to group? I find that the group finder feature puts you with people who drop instantly every single time. Why would you queue up only to drop. Hundreds of people at this point... not one fucking group...

    I just picked up the game. Maybe we can group up? Is there a rerolled TS server where we can all meet up to play? It should help cut down on the crazies ... protection through numbers and superior firepower!

    This seems like a really amazing game until the endgame. Supposedly the endgame is entirely guild pvp oriented which people in gear one tier below their opponent being completely ineffective vs them. At least that's what I read from someone who was playing it for over a year. Maybe the NA/EU...

    Walker Assault was fun but after an hour or so you get over the dazzling graphics and you start to try to figure out the game mechanics and you realize there aren't any. You need an incentive to go and help your comrades. Ok but how. How can you do that when there is no squad system and no...

    Then why are you or he comparing it? Compare it when it's released. Also that's not the insult you think it is anymore. Especially in this thread. A released bad game is bad forever and Battlefront is a shit sandwich.

    Well don't look at crowdfunding to solve this issue. It requires more openness with development to be successful and a lot of people can't stand watching the sausage made. You have a large portion of players and virtually the entire "games journalism" industry dead set against it. The term...

    Star Wars: Battlefront, as told by Dice on Frostbite 3 (PS4?/XBone?/PC?)

    Did you just compare Battlefront with virtually no features and photogrammetry with 2 years of dev time to SC that has infinitely more features in Alpha, as of today, with only a year more in dev? Are you serious or trolling?

    Finally had a chance to play this game this weekend at a friends place on an XBone. I was stoked since I'm a massive Star Wars nerd. Watched a few hours of gameplay and played about 2 hours. I would say they got the feeling right in making it feel like you are in the movies which is an...
