    They tweeted that they are nerfing a few things about the encounter, so it will go smoother pretty soon regardless.

    SOE Becomes Daybreak / Russian shutdown

    Hate to get into the middle of your cat fight, but the parts in bold are ridiculous. As crazy as it is to claim EQ was the end all be all of all MMOs and that new games need to go back to what made it what it was, it's equally ignorant to claim that EQ was an average blip in the scheme of...

    Steer did all of that except the third set of binds and keybinds aren't the problem on the PTR.

    I'm getting really sick of randomized armor. Sure, gear drops like candy but getting the exact piece of gear you need with all of these other useless stats on them is nearly impossible.

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    I got the key as well and decided to take another look. First thing I noticed is that the game still needs mouse look as default. They have a beta setting but it's extremely buggy, which is crazy considering that mods had this down perfectly over a year ago. Other than that I haven't dug too...

    They mentioned that dual wielding classes won't have a secondary weapon, but will have one weapon that works for both hands. Apparently the off-hand is some sort of energy projection. Basically leveling the one weapon will upgrade both your main and off-hand.

    I don't mind not having it the first time through, but leveling alts through the same content without a flying mount is horrible. Oh, and for anyone worrying about everyone wielding the same weapon: And the multi-spec concern:

    Paladin Warrior Shaman Rogue Monk Death Knight Druids (?) All use different weapon types for different specs. The only classes that don't are pure casters, really. Wouldn't be unusual for Hunters to have to switch.

    I can totally see not wanting to play until the expansion. Another 6 months to a year with what we have isn't all that appealing. I also completely understand the burn out people have, I mean it's been 11 years, you are bound to get tired of the same formula. I didn't even think about the...

    I didn't take the refund, I just took some time off. That doesn't mean the issues weren't fucking ridiculous, or that this launch says anything about MMO launches, or the people playing them, in general. Sitting in line or not getting to play in WoW, or just about any other MMO, will lose you...

    The queue system wouldn't be a problem if it didn't kick you left and right and then put you right back in the queue again. I got in, played about a half hour, got disconnected and repeated 2024 errors to the point that when i finally got back in the damn thing put me back in line in the queue...

    I didn't spend any more money. It's the credits I already had on the account from spending $150 on the thing in Alpha. They got my money, what I do at this point means dick to them, but from my side of it I'd at least like to play every once in a while.

    You wanna hear some real fucking bullshit? I finally got into the game last night at 1am and promptly bought another character slot so if I ever get another 10 hour queue I could piss around on another server...and that mutherfucker is locked to Kyrios. It won't let me create a character on...

    So far this headstart and launch has pretty much been a bust for me. I got caught in the bottleneck on day one, missed all the land in PRX village, and have been behind ever since. I sat in a 5 hour queue this morning, got in the game and played a bit, had to sign paperwork for my house, and...

    I highly doubt anyone on the east coast comes home to a 1-2 hour queue. It's been more than that since early this morning. I jumped in the game this morning at about 10am and am still sitting in a queue (#26 atm), by the time the first shifters get home the queues will be double.

    Here's one thing about the queues that's worth bitching about, if you have 2 characters on a server and it has a massive queue you can't even switch servers without connecting through to your main server first. Because you have to connect before you even get to your characters it greys out all...

    If you are playing on Kyrios the queues went much higher than that in head start, if you aren't you have higher queues because of people changing to your server from servers like Kyrios as well as all the new patrons that joined the game after head start. People have this idea that everyone who...

    So much this. Every MMO launch people bitch about queues only to bitch and moan a month or two later, when the developer inevitably caves, about server merges. Queues are better for the games health that adding a bunch of ghost town servers for immediate appeasement and mega-servers aren't an...

    Queues don't matter when you're bottlenecked at a spawn point for 2 hours. I might as well not have even logged in today at the rate this is going.

    It's amazing to me how many dumb shits there are that haven't learned to protect their information by now. These companies should either force people to use an authenticator or have them understand that if they get their account hacked they lose it for good. Too much time and effort goes into...

    They are also some of the most tedious bullshit in the game too. The daily hub rep grind is the worst thing to ever happen to WoW IMO.

    People on the Alpha forums seem to think that head start will be better for land than what we have now. I think they are in for a rude awakening. The head start servers are going to be 100% patron, everyone from alpha combined with everyone from beta. It's going to be a mad dash for land. I had...

    Just to touch on what Cinge is saying, my current build at 50 has 7 passives, 2 thirty minute buffs, and 3 cooldowns on a 1 minute or longer timer. That leaves 11 skills that can be used every fight, and nearly half of those are situational (stun/fear removers, magic shields, etc.). Of course...

    I'd pay the $60 before I leveled a character from scratch again. Time is more valuable than money for me, and there is nothing in the low level areas I haven't seen already. I have a feeling it will be used quite a bit.

    EVE isn't remotely comparable and bringing it up in these discussions is like jumping into a conversation about racing sims and telling people Falcon 4.0 is a better game. As far as I'm aware Trion mentioned they were addressing the LP on use cost for stuff like this. Hopefully they remove it...

    If you go into ArcheAge expecting to play it like a typical theme park MMO of course it's lacking. There are better games for PvE, there are better games for instanced PvP, there are better games for questing, etc. But if you go into it like a sandbox, there is a giant non-instanced/phased world...
