    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    Yeah it's like Ultima Online. Who wouldn't want a two days advantage on where to plant your house in UO ? The other thing is claims near dungeons, claims on the best mining spots, claims near obvious bottlenecks in land masses, claims near travel hubs or major crossroads etc. To me learning...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    1. Landmark is a totally separate game. We will be given all the tools that Sony use to develop EQN. EQNext devs will selectively use some of the things created in Landmark in EQnext. There will also be a 'store' where people can buy and sell whatever they create in Landmark. Some of this will...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    What are the better Monk skills/builds these days ? Spent a couple hours googling that question and just got confused because things have changed so much.

    The new Gen has started: Where do you stand?

    At todays exchange rate XBone is $700 and PS4 $630 (base console without games) in the UK. Considered buying one of them for my 9 year old but all their games are on PS3 so I decided to get a new one of those instead for now. Just aren't any games out worth buying either of them for right now.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Sure you're not confusing EQN : Landmark with EQN ? Landmark is Minecraft++++ with development tools and yes has five tiers of resources and related gathering gear. Hard to distinguish between the two right now because SoE haven't done the greatest job of underlining the difference between...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm far from an expert on class theory, but I do have one of each class at lvl 90. I also haven't played since the last patch so not sure if that changed anything. That said I've found Mages presently much harder to get decent DPS out of than the other classes. I'd guess there's two reasons...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    I guessed before it was announced way back that Storybricks was getting involved with EQN. Rodolfo (CEO ofStorybricks) made a couple of posts back on FoH being supportive of Smed/SEO and what they were up to. Think he is a member of Rerolled and has posted in the EQN thread here, though I might...

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    It's Minecraft ++++ in an MMO setting. Ponying up for alpha access gets you increased inventory size, easier access to whatever their in game storage/vault system is and better starting mining tools (no idea if the clothing/gear they include has stats but I'm guessing they will ?) as well...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    Scott is an outstanding project manager but (IMO) unproven creatively. I can accept and understand most of the decisions that needed to be made to get Rift to launch, notwithstanding two massive mistakes : 1. The allocation of responsibility to different people for each class with not...

    Sorry guys, struggling with upload file size limit. Is this any better ? If not I'll try get it hosted : Add me to the OP please Quaid. Ponied up the $99 so will have spare beta keys. Funny that after nearly 20 years playing MMOs I've still given/am giving far more money to SoE than...

    Doctor Who

    Uhuh, this is how I feel about it. very much enjoyed watching it live, but the Zygon story was superfluous. They should just have made the pre-show thing part of this episode and cut out the Zygon story entirely. Still enjoyed watching it more than anything that has been on TV for a very long...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    You could pick specific uniques in D2:LoD, target the mobs with the best chance of dropping them and get them without gouging your eyes out for 95% of items, the exceptions being the highest level chests which you did pit runs/baal/cows for or next to impossible to get runes (I had a great...

    Axeman or anyone else throw out a list of these (not in length just name them eg 1. Summoner). Loved the game back in beta but for exactly the reasons in axemans post on the PoE forums I'm not enjoying release.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Obviously FFXIV has telegraphs already. Two things I foresee with the system in a more WoW like game : 1. Balancing PvP/PvE is going to be even more of a pita than it already is. Good luck with that - both in terms of, firstly, getting the balance theoretically and implementing it and...

    X:Rebirth

    Amazing game, with astonishing depth. Can't be said enough though that past games in the serious have had a massive learning curve and haven't been easy to get into. They said they would address that to a degree with this release but I guess we'll see. Also not sure if anyone has mentioned...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Is it fair to say that : i) Snowden is still 'leaking' information; ii) Putins claim of only giving asylum to Snowden if he stopped harming America is suspect to say the least.

    Path of Exile

    The look and feel of this game in the first half dozen levels really sucks. First time I played I didn't like it at all. If you stick it out a few more levels it's worth it. Following a vague build is a good idea too until you know the skill tree some more.

    Not played for 6+ months. Is Summoner expected to be a viable class for high level farming in the fresh four month league at launch today ? Mostly solo as I'll be playing while waiting for dungeon queues to pop in FFXIV.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    CM runs are dead. Mobs after first boss have to be killed. AV is faster, AK and AV give the same 100 Philo tomes. AK still giving 40 Myth. WP is 100 Phil 30 Myth. Garuda bumped from 10/7 to 15/10.

    Yeah the work they are doing looks good; I'm also probably going to start playing again - updating now. I stopped playing because I couldn't get enough maps to lvl. This is a great change for me.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    Pretty sure a lot of what's come out in the last few years in MMOs has been exactly because 'WoW did it that way'. Didn't Rift remove hard factions so players could play together ?

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    FF online has never been mainly about end game. There are a dozen dungeons below lvl 50 that are fun to do on different classes/jobs. Agree with everybody who said that Fates have ruined the game for a lot of people and that's definitely SEs fault, though. Making a boring grind of running...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    For me I feel an attachment to my character that I haven't in any MMO since EQ1. There's loads you could criticize and fates are one massive fuck up on the scale of 'Complete Heal' (they PL'ed early players through masses of content into speed running AK and it would be so much better if you had...
