Yeah I think it's gear that is the choice, or being careless. It's very easy to die by pulling too many mobs, and that goes for any zone in TSW. If you complete every quest then you should have pretty close to a full suit of appropriate QL greens before moving onto the next area, but if you...

He's talking about savage coast, not Carpathian fangs. You can't have a shit spec in Savage coast, you don't have enough skills to even work on synergy yet.

I'd say you skipped too many quests in Kingsmouth or weren't playing carefully enough. You shouldn't be pulling multiple mobs at a time in the amusement park. It's hard to have a bad spec as every weapon is good enough to solo with but you can make mistakes in equipment choices. If you had a...

In my opinion Transylvania is better than Egypt but worse than Solomon's Island in terms of immersion/lore/story/environment. I really liked some of the characters in Transylvania whereas none of the ones in Egypt were very interesting. I liked the whole Callisto/Mara/Vlad background stories.

Solomon Island is definitely the most well crafted area in terms of lore, storylines etc.

My PC is over 4.5 years old (June 2009) and it runs fine for me. i7 920, GTX275, ocz vertex2, 12G ram. I'm due for an upgrade, but when everything I want to play still runs perfectly I don't feel a need. Haven't tried mass PvP though which might kill it but I hope it will hold up or it will...

EQ (and VG for the same reason) was a great game to PvP in purely because it had no instances. Instancing ruins world PvP. Fighting over PvE objectives is where it's at.

I guess answered would be mostly theorycraft at this stage since endgame doesn't exist/isn't accessible yet but how will resource management work at end game? Most trees dont have little to no access to stam/mana restore (especially heavy armour users). Based on my very limited experience to...

Did you dig down to where they used to be? Claim next to mine has all of his buildings gone but the crafting stations were still there partially buried in the ground.

There's still plenty of space for claims around the edges of the islands. On my island anyway which is a t1.

I think there should be a LFG/party finder system which acts as a people matcher. It organises people based on what they want to do, what level they are, what role(s) they can fill, where they are, etc. People who want to form groups can use this tool to communicate and group up. That way...

When I try to log in to the alpha forums it tells me I must reset my password, and the link to reset my password brings up a 'currently down for maintenance' page. Damn you *shakes fist*

Operative/Scoundrel healers are strong but like most classes they have their weakness. If you make sure you don't let them cast Underworld Medicine it badly affects them. Most people don't use their lockout abilities and so when they complain about not being able to kill healers I just laugh.

Not a Tor Anroc fan I see

The PvP communities in EQ was great but the one in VG was terrible. There was one PvP server, it was mostly dominated by hackers/cheaters. But group and in-the-wild PvP is the kind of PvP I enjoy. Both EQ and VG had it. Fighting over PvE content. Most peoples idea of PvP in an MMO is the...

That's a strange thing to say since Vanguard and EQ were both great PvP games. I expect if Pantheon ever exists it is very likely to be too but don't let me get in the way of your anti-PvP rage.

There's some good questions about PvP on there and he hasn't really answered any of them...

I like the statue and look forward to sitting him next to Darth Malgus! Imperial unlock is nice too assuming it's really a playable race. I wonder what racials they will have.

You need to buy ROTHC, it's a paid xpac (costs like $10 i think).

I really want to know how they plan to build an MMO for 800k. If they only get 800k, what kind of product can we expect? I'm suspicious, but in for $100 anyway because there's a 0.1% chance we'll get something amazing.

They shouldn't expire, I've still got all of my cartel coins and I've been unsubbed most of the time since cartel coins existed.

I agree but as time goes we tend to forget the things that were absolutely fucked about EQ2 PvP as well, like chasing people around clouds/spires/zonelines, how some classes were ridiculously OP and others compared to others (I played a bruiser so no sour grapes here), evac in pvp..

My favourite games to PvP in were mostly PvE games, fighting other players over PvE resources. Fighting in dungeons in Vanguard, fighting over raid bosses in EQ.

My main at launch was a blood mage too and it was a wonderful experience. Half of the classes were considered OP at one point though. Disciples were ridiculous at launch. Dread knight were crazy strong, a psi in the right hands could do almost anything solo, clerics definitely were op after...

PS4 is sitting on shelves here (Australia). I can see a stack of them right now in EB and the JBHIFI 50m from here has them too.

The patch may have a lot of content but there isn't much to do for people already wearing i90 other than run everything once just to see it then farm a bit of extreme primals. Yes they added a bunch of new dungeons (Siren is great fun) but the fact that they drop stuff worse than what...

Got my kickstarter key finally and had a try. It definitely feels like TQ which is a good thing. Looking forward to the complete game (especially multiplayer)

Just did a bunch of Wolves Den for the first time and... this is the worst BG implementation I have ever seen in an MMO. The class balance is terrible and it is just not fun. As a black mage my entire reason for existing is to sleep and run away from melees. A melee on me means I can only cast...

Is Allagan better than the crafted PvP gear for PvP? People are saying the crafted is better even though it's got half the stats... Morale must be really strong.

whoops wrong thread

I really enjoyed the consular story. It's made 20? better by being evil. Saving people from the plague by sticking them with my light saber was great fun. The voice actor on the female side helped a lot to because evil consular is a sarcastic rude bitch and the voice actor does a great...

What would you give the best MMO award to? All of the options are terrible. I would probably give it to ARR as well even though it's awful, it's the best of a very bad bunch. I found Neverwinter to be basically unplayable, it was just an atrocious game.

Yep In other bad "new content" ideas, SE decided to add a new dungeon, then move all of AKs drops to that dungeon, nerf AK, and make AK now drop WP drops. Awesome. New content to get the exact same junk we could get from an easier zone at launch. There are some new drops in there from the...

Hard to say for sure one way or the other. If this had been the first content patch then they would have retained a lot more players probably, and with better retention they wouldn't have dumped 3/4 of their devs, and with more devs they would have been able to roll out content more quickly...

I fired up SWTOR to try out Galactic Starfighter a couple of days ago and I have to give bioware props for that one. It's almost a whole new game they've patched in in a free content patch. Complex, fun to play and robust.

Anyone done the extreme primals yet? How hard/fun are they?

I agree with pretty much the whole sentiment of your post. Crafting interdependence was good. Shared XP debt was good. Most content being group content was good. I liked all of the gating (access quests), heritage quests.. All of these things served to build and foster a community. Forced...

Yeah I miss it that's for sure. Using Holgresh Elder Beads and then feign flopping to train Telk/Gozz into the safe spot was a highlight.

I had a version of the Velketor's lab zonefile which had an invisible wall near the entrance of the zone which led straight to Velk's room. I made that file read only so the patcher couldn't patch it. Made it easy for me to pull Velk to the entrance of the zone, which came in handy once. A...

I've been planning on trying to make Guk. I wonder if there will be a process for getting textures added...
