I agree completely. The problem has always been that you have PvE designers trying to do PvP. It"s pretty obvious from the state that BG"s are in that they don"t see PvP as viable gameplay. AV is a constant reminder to all of us how much they care. Wintergrasp is a complete failure in execution...

You have to design around the brackets you want to set. With a game as complex as WoW, I don"t think 1v1 or 2v2 works as well because it severely limits your tactical options when fighting other players. Ladder matches were an afterthought for WoW, they should have just stuck to BG"s. Why don"t...

I"d like to reiterate that balance is possible if you do it from the ground up as a specific PvP system, and not try to make a PvE system work in a PvP setting. Balance in WoW? Yes, pretty much impossible. Ranked PvP shouldn"t punish you for picking the wrong race/class or items. The only...

They just need to stop trying to design 1 system to encompass 2 gameplay styles. I"d be fine with a game that had 2 completely different systems created for PvE and PvP. Like say if WoW BG"s really were just like BF2. Your stats don"t mean as much, your weapons are broken down into types...

Could one of the mods unsticky this thread? It"s been up for months.

IGDA posted up videos from their Leadership Forum from last November. Curt was one of the speakers there IGDA Leadership Forum 08 - "MVP Leadership" by Curt Schilling Skip to about 4 minutes in to get Curt, might be better to leave it running in the background and listen to the audio. For...

I thought Wolfen disappeared after that hurricane?

I"m your huckleberry

I have to agree. Millie contributed nothing positive to the community, because in the background, he was part of the downward spiral. Who knows what else he might be responsible for with dummy accounts? His tactics are the worst. He fabricates issues or creates problems for him to fix, and...

I like how Millie gave me -3 Internets, I never did shit to him. There"s some crazy shit in those logs. It"s like night and day from his posts, I don"t understand that level of crazy. He gave Ham + and then - in the span of a few hours. I guess he really hated James and Kreugen, he even gave...

I don"t understand why Millie thought anyone would care enough to warrant such a long good bye post. Just post "I"m out bitches" and be done with it.

Does Sam play every day? From his progress I"d say no. Someone has to let us know when he"s on so we can gank him.

What if you box 10 or so DK"s and have them all drop glyph"d DnD, either all at once or staggered?

I know what you mean Aychamo, that"s why I never came back. It was a special time for all of us. We got keyboards on heads, highlighters up noses, a rice cooker on some shirtless asian, and probably 120% of YLive has seen your brown devil. Don"t knor or care about Miik"s cock drama but she...

Some of what"s being discussed here is going on over in the Working in the game industry is just like any other job. I don"t know why people have the misconception that if it"s video game related it should be candy and gum drops 24/7. There"s pitfalls and setbacks and rewards and...

Have you or would you seriously consider hiring someone from these forums? Noticed there was an opening for QA Manager. Not that I"m qualified, but just wondering if you would ever hire someone off these boards.

it"s like he"s not even doing quests or instances. his gear is balls

When they first started development it was just called Warhammer Online, they didn"t add the Age of Reckoning part until later.

Can you imagine being the sales clerk at Wal-Mart and seeing Sam Da Man walk up in full regalia with 27 copies of WoW Battle Chest?

I"d rather see an all pally or all boomkin team. God that would tear so much ass. Imagine entering WSG against Sam, that would be insanity. 26 of us should get together and roll alliance on his server just to curb him every step of the way. 26 hunters maybe? too bad he"s going horde, 26 be...

You do realize that Disney, Square and a number of Koreans have MMOs that resemble Kingdom Hearts?

I just think it"s ridiculous that even if you"re looking for a particular class, you also need to find a particular specced class. When I was leveling new druid, I was able to pretty much do everything, tank, heal or dps, in all the 1-60 dungeons. As soon as I got to outlands though, I had to...

The fun factor for end-game encounters isn"t something a developer can create. Developers can create challenges or difficulty, but they can"t create fun. Fun comes from playing with friends. I think the only encounter I actually said "Wow that was really fun" was 4H, and really that might...

The market for loot cards is fucking crazy. I only played the card game during the release event and it seemed fun at the time, not sure if we were following the rules or not. But yeah, fuck going out to play WoW cards with other WoW nerds. When Blizzard implements an ingame client, i"ll...

This would have been more believable. I never stuck around VG long enough to actually see the diplomacy thing in action, but if it played out like, everyone in the world was addicted to this in-world card game, it would be believable. Like how everyone played Sabbac in KOTOR. I kept my FFXI...

I judge other players based on the mods they have. If your pug tank is in full pvp gear and doesn"t have omen, you can expect bad times ahead.

Blizzard has got to ramp up their expansions man. I don"t want to be 28 when I"m playing the expansion after WotLK.

The Sunwell ones are tight but right now better off with another high stam trink.

That"s what I meant by "significant", I guess I should have said "meaningful" or something like "Grade A" experience. As it is now, it"s difficult even for me, a previous EQ raider, to contemplate going back to EQ and getting back into the raid scene. Imagine what it would be like for Joe...

Nope, just commentary. As sad as it is, I do practice "raid snobbery" (i guess?). I would rather recruit a raider who"s had EQ raiding experience, though now days that rarely comes up anymore. Either we"re far enough into MMO generations that referencing first gen content isn"t picked up, or...

It"s a pretty sad state of affairs when your raiding history reads like a resume.

Whoever designed that obviously never played EQ :P It"s pretty bad when EQ has better systems than yours. And how long did it take them to fix that? 2.0 was broken too, I don"t think it stones were useful until what? tbc?

I have more e-friends than I can keep track of. Friends that still play EQ or play EQ2/CoH/AoC. Friends from EQ that went to different servers, old guilds, people from message boards, people from steam. You can"t hang out on 2 ventrilos and expect to be able to participate in both. When I was a...

Whatever game you"re making, please include cross-server chat channels! It seems unacceptable in this day and age to be separated from friends/family. It"s impossible to try and manage face-time with different groups of friends, and it"s not like you can hop on other peoples ventrillos for...

Less than 10 people on the GM staff (of about 60+) had any end-game raiding experience and knew what they were talking about. None of the upper-management could even give loose descriptions of the raid zones. I think we did about 3 "official" company raids before they put a stop to that...

38 Studios is going to dominate the female demographic.

anyway i"m through with this dumb shit, it was fun for a while. you dudes keep on doing your thing.

It would be easier to police ourselves if it wasn"t rickshawed, I"d have taken down the images myself if I could have. I was only trying to point out that this reptar chick is the same crocodile person.

a mod needs to take them down if she"s underage

fuck I don"t know. Why are you bitching at me for? kcxiv is the one with the fucking video.
