Derailing a thread with your game dev 101 combat idea is just annoying. Your idea sucks dick, I would never want to play an MMO with combat like that. And now you've come full circle calling people sjw's who don't want to see this thread derailed any further.

I've listened to a lot of the interviews and I think the failure was three-fold. 1) They went way too far with system requirements. Everquest was very progressive with its tech at the time, I think they even had to ship out video cards to reviewers so they could run the game. That worked in...

I agree completely with FFXIV. 100% telegraphed mechanics aren't hard, they're just a retard check. I think vanilla WoW did it best with very minor, or sometimes none at all, animations for things like cleave. It was only through experience with a fight that you knew exactly where to stand for...

Finally saw it. I loved it but I am a sucker for the slower paced detective stories. You can definitely see the influence of Zodiac and Seven, and the soundtrack was like a horror movie. My only real gripe is the final act doesn't really follow the logic of the Riddler's previous crimes. It's a...

What you're describing isn't rpg combat, it's survival or some attempt at realism which already exists in some games. It's completely uninteresting for an mmo where all you're doing is focusing on the shiny or 'exposed' part of the mob just like Rust's harvesting system. That would get old...

You don't have to have a set rotation but casting the same spell over and over just isn't interesting, to me at least. Having 8-9 abilities, where 4 of them are your core that you use every pull and the other 4 are situational. That's where an MMO like this should land on ability usage imo. More...

Are they making combat at least a little bit more complex than EQ though? I'm all for slower paced combat but the idea of casting backstab ad infinitum doesn't get my juices flowing.

They kept things super simple this time which is a plus, new talent system was long overdo. Work orders for professions is a cool idea. Interactive flying rather than auto-run is a nice change. The irony is that the drakkin race/class is the least interesting thing they showed.

The new dragon race looks shockingly low-res for some reason. It's barely a step up from the drakkin race in EQ1.

The first movie was ok, the 2nd was boring, and this seems to be a complete cash grab with a paper thin story. Just ditch this shit already and make a Tom Riddle movie. The best parts of the Half-Blood Prince were never filmed where you get the entire backstory to Voldemort starting from before...

Having tried to get into retail a few times now I can say the absolute worst part of the game is how much ability/proc spam the combat has now. There is no RPG flow to the game anymore, its too much like an ARPG where everyone just aoe dps's everything with at least 5 damage instances per...

What an amazing video, I always wanted to hear the perspective of the human resources managers.

That's interesting cuz it was the opposite of the feedback i got when i tried retail months ago. Assassins were top dps where swash/brig dps was bad and you only wanted one for the debuffs. I really only like playing a melee dps or a melee tank that can off spec dps. Thats why I was thinking...

Is there any kind of class tier list for tle or does it change through each xpac? Or is the content so easy it doesn't matter much.

That last gameplay vid was meh, everything was too clean and smooth. Why can't it have graphics like this

Been rewatching a few of the marathon episodes, this show was such a rare thing in terms of it actually getting better as the seasons progressed instead of worse. After GoT, Lost, Walking Dead... it makes the final season of BB look genius.

Yeah Elidroth confirmed it. His wife had cancer for a long time and died a month after Brad did. That's why he took the money, medical bills had piled up and he thought they had a new investor. He took the money, the investor fell through... then the rest happened. He definitely shouldn't have...

Did some mythic plus with outlaw rogue, its just not fun.. way too much spam and buff tracking. Felt drained after 2 dungeons. What would you guys recommend for a less frantic melee dps spec? Looking at reddit a lot people say a Frost DK, Ret, or DH.

This is a mid-life crisis, we're here for you Pharone.

I think it was just hubris from the lead devs more than anything. Can't remember which Bellular video it was but he said he had heard from multiple sources that the whole Covenant thing was a complete top-down decision from on high. Whether it was Ion or someone else he didn't say. Creating...

It makes sense b/c the first time I did Tazavesh it didn't feel like a dungeon at all in terms of the layout or feel. If the leaks are true then they tried biting off way more than they could chew.. which was the same mistake with BfA. Too ambitious where it ends up half-cooked with repurposed...

Wow, did not see that coming. This is good for buffalo though.

I'll probably give it a go as well, never did play back in the day so it will be interesting to see how it progressed. No idea what are the good classes in tle though. I liked the assassin, was easy to setup macros. But i'll play a zerker of we need a tank though.

They still haven't explained how the 'infamy' system will work. No instances sounds good in theory until you're sitting around with your guild unable to do the new raid tier until the top guild stops farming it or decides to let you have a few table crumbs. Assuming they're not farming it on...

As much as we liked to shit on brad this game has gone in a different direction w/o him in the picture. It started out as a small scale game in the vain of EQ with a sprinkle of VG. Now it's aiming to be a bit more mainstream with extra layers of systems & scope creep... into year 8 of development.

It's strange because I remember Danuser did the final updates on Vanguard that were well received, as well as the first 2-3 xpacs for EQ2 which were pretty good. This makes no sense.

AFC is now stacked with the best QB's.

I've watched this interrogation a number of times now, it's such a brilliant job by the interrogator. Speaking very calmly, systematically, and non-confrontationally he gets the guy to admit to everything. It's long but fascinating to listen to.

I've been enjoying it just fine skipping every cutscene.

I'm gonna give it another go and try the outlaw rogue again but actually put in the effort this time. Going from combat/sword rogue in classic to retail was painful. Keeping up all the buffs while using all your cd's pretty much every pull... i couldn't focus on anything but the rotation which...

Another day, another Kickstarter MMO disaster.

It looks too much like the Hobbit movies.. too clean and hyper realistic. That same style you get from daytime drama tv.

He definitely yanked his facemask, but the refs haven't been calling much the entire postseason.

lo Jefferson didn't even try to make a play on that ball

Chase has amazing hands.

Is there going to be way more swashbuckling than in Tolkien's writings? Yes, but it was the same for the Jackson movies. That's why most fans still prefer Fellowship to the others. Galadriel in armor is dumb but it wouldn't ruin the series for me. The problem is Tolkien didn't write very much...

Trust me I've read more Tolkien than you have. I know it was originally meant as England's version of mythology/pre-history. But he expanded on it more and more with the writings that would later become The Silmarillion. It's still mostly European-centric but it morphed into more of a world...

Like I said, it's all in the execution. None of us have seen it yet so no one knows. It could be a complete disaster or it could be pretty good. Are the actors good who just happen to be black or did they elevate mediocre actors for 'wokeness'?
