    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Thankfully, it's not like that in my industry. Usually the people trying for supervisory/management positions are those that are just lazier or stressed-out by the work of "production" (with production meaning keeping airlines from crashing into one another). That they only get a very small...

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    Well ultimately what made Sullon Zek so compelling to me was that there was no safe haven, I was afraid to leave my computer unattended. Each thing I accomplished set me up that much better to cope with the danger I faced. After they added sanctuaries, the bazaar was bad, and then Plane of...

    P.S. As long as job requirements for video game companies have listed "has shipped 3+ games" to even have a resume considered, you will continue to keep getting the same screw-ups working on title after title.

    This is because the 10-15 people are all close friends of management, which is how they get picked to be on those small teams... and they all drink the koolaid, and it isn't until there are 100 people working on the project that suddenly it's "omg 85% of the people think this place sucks"...

    Quoting for fucking stupid advice that would just cause people to burn out of the game and be bored with it. Worst, advice ever. Yea, leveling up 2nd class, that's fine advice, but not for your first.

    What, you don't think 50 mil in box sales (at least 10 mil from 1.0) paid a few salaries? Yes, I'm sure they're in the red right now, but it's not like they went overboard on their server architecture, pretty obvious they pinched pennies wherever they could. So yes, the game was in development...

    Because we're the rejects the rest of the world didn't want... Hicks live in West Virginia, beautiful people live in California, Alaska is 85% testosterone fueled rage... I'm convinced that at least some genetics is correlated to geography, and not just pale blondes live in Norway kinda way.

    Dark Souls 2

    Hoping that my preferred play style (medium/heavyish armor coop cleric) is as viable as it was in dark souls, never played demon souls, but I heard faith was more just for PVP? Either way, throwing lightning was cool. I'd like to see more differentiation between holy and occult.

    Yea, I'm confused as AO, I didn't grind fates at all on my way to my first 50, I mean, I did fates in highlands for about an hour because I wanted the svara achievement and maybe 90 minutes for Cancer vanity pet, but that's hardly "grinding". I was 47 when I did my level 46 story quest, and it...

    Sure, but XI has been a cash cow for a while, and 12, 13, and 13-2, all sold decently, I'm willing to bet they're doing just fine financially even if they aren't doing blizzard's numbers.

    Except SWTOR was expecting 10 millions subs and laid off all their staff and stopped making content when they weren't even within an order of magnitude close to that. Seems like SE has consistently low expectations, and might actually be able to put out content at a pace that casual Timmy's like...

    Ill normally say sleep or cc, unless I'm playing wow and it's like multiple cc'ers, then I'll say something like sheep star, sap nipple. Using the spell name works, haven't seen cc called mesmerization outside of EQ.

    Not sure how that's relevant to the discussion? Other than that one of the wildstar devs is acknowledging that the fans usually care more / are more rabid than the people who are "just" getting paid to make a video game.

    It's not just being healthy enough for sex... being in-shape allows you to have higher quality sex.

    Yea, I don't think it'll be "longer" than 10 years, but it doesn't seem unreasonable for PS3 titles to continue to come out for another year after the PS4 launch, and then trickle out for another year to 18 months after that. Still, 10 years seemed absolutely insane in 2006 when 4-5 years was...

    It was even worse in WoW early on. (Rolling dots ie: refreshing a dot would only extend the duration, it's "power" only mattered for the initial application, or if it fell off) A snapshot of your current stats when you cast the spell would theoretically be the least server intensive rather...

    They could just build corsair a beefy ranged class.
