    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    Well, when you are one of the few games on the block that isn't just a re-skin of WoW, and you have a niche population, it's hard not to be bitter about it and the industry in general. I actually enjoyed the hell out of WoW when I played it, but I'll be damned if it didn't basically kill any...

    Guild Wars 2

    If you didn't play GW2 for a year your gear wouldn't have magically turned to shit, but the added content would have magically disappeared. There was no such thing as "at your own leisure" with the living story last year. You either logged in and did it while it was going or you missed it. And...

    Why? They let a game, that would have been cancelled either before release or within the first year by just about any other company, run for nearly 8 years. In a world of shitty MMO companies SOE is one of the best.

    Yeah, but the people who are buying it with real money are the ones who are leaving the game. Joe Casual isn't going to keep buying plat at $20 a pop when he realizes it makes fuck all difference and he's hit a brick wall. CREDD will definitely extend the games life, but I don't think it's going...

    Cool, thanks for the info.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I played for a couple of months at release, but not since. How brutal is the game atm for new players? Is it one of those games where if you haven't been playing you're fucked or can I actually catch up at this point?

    You don't know what Low or Medium means in their game, and other than some vague statements from the developer that their servers hold more players, neither does anyone else. Second, there is no such thing as full medium population in Wildstar two months later. Many of the servers never get off...

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    I don't think the game not being sexy enough or lame had anything to do with it's problems. The world was one of the best in any MMO ever IMO, it was just destroyed by technical issues and the sheer amount of shit that people had to deal with on a daily basis while playing. I had more "oh wow"...

    Yeah, I don't get the chest thumping. They are a good guild, but compared to the elite guilds in Wildstar they are positively average. Big fish, little pond syndrome.

    Maybe I'm alone but I think the whole "stand still to cast" mechanic is archaic as hell and needs to die. WoW started going away from this and it made certain classes infinitely more fun to play, until they reverted back to the old ways due to some warped vision of what a caster should be. I...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    The Legends server failed because SOE failed to keep up with all of their promises of what the server would be. It was hugely popular until it basically turned into just another server that you had to pay more for. There is definitely a market of people who would willingly pay more to get...

    No, you aren't. My favorite part about these games, in the beginning, was exploring the zones and finding new and interesting creatures to fight. These days it's constant hand holding while you ride the roller coaster to the end game. Unfortunately the kind of MMOs that let you do your own thing...

    God I hope they do something about Engineer pets. The class is far and away my favorite but the aggro radius on the bots is ridiculous. I played my Medic last night and it was eye opening just how close you can get to mobs without aggroing them compared to the Engineer. As much as I love the...

    I don't think think this game (or any game) can sustain a 40 man raid end game. Even the best guilds had problems keeping 40 people raid ready in WoW, at a time when 40 man raids were a thing. Now Carbine thinks they will just resurrect it without any problems? And without nerfing the...
