    Guild Wars 2

    Farm hero points for HoT and PoF elites. Doesn't matter where (Core, HoT, or PoF) you get them, they all count. But hero points in Core are only worth 1, while those in HoT and PoF are worth 10 each. For my characters I usually get all the easy points in HoT, skipping the hard champions unless a...

    Guild Wars 2

    Aye level in HoT zones. 3 separate mastery bars. Base game, HoT and PoF. Base game and PoF are easier max out than HoT. HoT takes a bit because there are so many different mastery choices. But HoT has a lot of popular event chains.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'd be curious to see the average age of current WoW subscibers. It can't be a low number. And that's not a knock on WoW. But a lot of kids (and even those in their 20's) don't even have PC's and it doesn't bother them. They do everything on mobile.

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    Love the tech and videos, hate the cost of ships. I've said it before, just don't see how this game won't be pay to win. They claim that you will be able to earn everything in game, but if you can get a $450 dollar ship in game in only a few days of farming then there are going to be some very...

    New World

    PvP players are what kill PvP mmos. The good players and bandwagoners get organized and terrorize the casuals and solo players. Which is to be expected. But the casuals and solo players don't care about what's expected, and they don't have any interest in getting organized or good. So they quit...

    Guild Wars 2

    Shadow of the Mad King - the Halloween festival starts today. This and the Wintersday festival are pretty good. And usually a good way to farm xp and gold. Plus the unique skins, etc.

    Guild Wars 2

    Depends on what you want to do. Endgame PvE is raiding, fractals or just event farming. There is PvP or WvW (and of course fashion wars). Each tends to have their own builds to work on. If you haven't already found it, Metabattle.com is what most people use to get started on builds and then...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Mileage will vary. WoW is a very successful game with millions of players so invested in their characters that they are loath to see how far it has fallen. But from the outside looking in, WoW has not aged well. Imo and as a casual, 7.3.1. is a huge mistake, bigger than BFA's fuckups. The next...

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

    Crowdfunded then. Point is that they are in a similar situation as the other small team mmos and updates are very few and far between. Mmo's require a massive amount of man hours to make. Even big studios take years to complete them.

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

    I think there are 4 kickstarter mmos that all seem to be in the same spot (Crowfall, Camelot Unchained, Pantheon and Ashes of Creation). Pre alpha, pre beta, whatever. All have small teams and a fuck ton of work left to do. Updates will be very slow for the next year or so as they flesh out the...

    Guild Wars 2

    Leveling up in GW2 is a lot of fun and pretty mindless. Did it a few times before the boosts came around. Doesn't really take that long and there are usually plenty of players in every zone (megaserver). Only downside now is the fact that you aren't earning xp towards master ranks until you...

    Bringing back some of Everquests systems is cool. But they will never be able to recreate the community feel that Everquest had back then. Much of it was dependent on the tech of the times. No voice coms, or youtube, etc. Those days are gone. Pantheon can still have a more intimate server...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Haven't played this in about a year, but I never had any real issues with queues while being dps. Nobody gave me grief for watching the cut scenes (first time through) either. I still felt bad about it though. Most players were understanding.

    Everquest II

    EQ had the same issues. Guild I was in ruled the server for years. Main was an SK. Had a box shaman that use to get tells all the time asking me how I could stand to play with someone from THAT guild. Lol, they didn't realize it was just a box. Guild was cool too. Good people, just driven.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Any idea as to when 8.1 is released? Wasn't a fan of 7.3.5 or BFA so cancelled and got a refund. But I still would like to give WoW a go again if they make enough changes.

    New Lord of the Rings MMO

    Aye, the current game has a ton of charm (or did when I last played). And the players are also add to the experience. The actual mechanics aren't that great but you do feel like it is part of the LoTR universe. Hopefully the new game can recreate that feeling and have modern graphics /...

    Camelot Unchained

    Haven't really been keeping up with this too much, they are in the slow, grind part of the process. But Beta 1 is progressing. They are working on stuff like authentication and the 64 bit client. Not very sexy, but important. They are fleshing out the world. Looks pretty good. They ran a recent...

    Guild Wars 2

    Legendary armor can change stats on the fly, without losing the runes. I have a few pieces, it's very convenient when testing builds (or throwing in some toughness and vitality after getting pummeled in WvW). Definitely not necessary, but if you already are doing a lot of one of the 3 modes...

    Ashes of Creation

    Looks glorious. But most new games look good. If the pvp actually isn't fubar (like most new games) then I can see playing.

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

    My main complaint with this game and all the other kickstarter mmos (and Star Citizen) is that they are still a long ways from release and they've been in development for years already. I'm just not the same person who pledged back then. Don't have the patience for a lot of the stuff I enjoyed...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm one of those "casual" WoW players that the community hates so much. Rarely play WoW, every couple of years and usually I get a couple of months of fun out of it. Pre purchased Legion and had a lot of fun with invasions. After release kind of enjoyed the DH. Didn't play long after Legion came...

    Guild Wars 2

    If you play WvW or PvP there are some pretty good ways to get Ascended armor there also. Choose your stats. Plus those ascended pieces are used to make legendary armor. That takes a lot of time though. Worth looking into if you enjoy either of those modes.

    Been here a long time. I remember all the same people slobbing all over Wildstar's nuts before it was released. Look how well that turned out. None of you have a fucking clue. You are just trying to out edge lord each other. It's the past history of the people here that makes all of this so...

    If you look at all the current crowdfunded mmos, they are ALL taking much longer than planned. Not sure why everyone in this thread thinks that some sort of Pantheon only issue, or are surprised by it. Think of it in a positive light. All the little ferrets in this thread can keep wasting their...

    Camelot Unchained

    Beta 1 is just a continuation of the Alpha and will probably last 6 to 9 months. But now Beta 1 backers can officially join the tests. Tests will be held throughout the week Alpha backers will have access to all tests (except internal IT testing). Beta 1 backers will have access to weekend...

    I just did a bunch of Silverwastes runs a few weekends ago (needed shovels for the guild hall). The event / chest farm is still popular on the weekends and there is usually one or two maps doing them. Use the LFG tool to find a taxi to the map everyone is on.

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

    WoW was initially a copy of much of Brad's "Vision", but they left out the danger and added quest icons. Blizzard is pretty good at stealing stuff (see WarHammer) and most of the big tech companies are too. WoW made questing better and other improvements. Today WoW still has millions of subs and...

    Just a heads up. Even though officially Beta 1 is delayed they are letting Beta 1 players into a lot of the extensive testing going on right now.

    Beta delayed Too many crashes and some new EU regs they have to comply with. Until then daily test sessions until beta starts (one on the weekend). Not surprised by this. State of the game was pretty rough when they announced July 4th beta 1. They got a lot more work done than I expected...

    The leashing mechanic is a huge detriment to the sense of danger. Every game has it after Wow and I think it was a mistake. EQ's no leash version had problems too though, easily exploitable and it didn't make logical sense for every mob to chase you to the end of the zone. A better option...

    MMO developers most laid off.

    MMOs are more popular than ever but now there is competition and the genre just isn't about rpgs anymore. The millions of subs Wow lost didn't just vanish, most of them went to other mmos. And millions more are playing mmos than 10 years ago. But the market has changed. MMOs aren't just about...
