    No clue, there is no way to kick a player off your account if they are on it. edit: but I'm willing to be a million bucks... probably.

    Err I didn't mean that they're "op" just that they're fully capable of healing low level content anyways, no reason that you couldn't allow arcanists to queue up pre-30 as healers. Which would solve some of the issues. The next 2 classes added in "should" theoretically have tank jobs as a...

    They should have allowed job quests starting at 20 (at least for arcanist) Scholar is extremely OP in the level 20-30 dungeons with an auto-healing pet that heals for as much as a healer does casting rank 1 heal.

    Is the MMO Market imploding?

    Nope, let's derail some more. Borderlands 1 and 2 I think both qualify, even if you're dumped off a bus/train instead of a boat, it's just a play on that trope. Dungeon siege 2 used the boat trope, even though 1 and 3 used variants of the stableboy trope. I liked DS2 my favorite of the 3...

    God, you clearly don't know anything about marketing. It's not cool unless the players find out about it from some hidden code in a cracker jack box that they have to edit the source code of a hidden web page. If we just posted on our website "Level 50 pvp test this weekend" we wouldn't "be...

    I've been wishy-washy one whether I should pick up a 2nd controller for the PS4 or wait to see if I like the dual-shock 4, or wait for 3rd party alternatives that won't cost me 60 bucks (also, I kind of prefer batteries for a second controller)...

    Your best raid or mass pvp experience across the genre?

    How is a 2.5 second cast time that you can cast while moving ANY different from an instant ability with a 2.5second GCD. Yes, Queuing would help. But while you're coming up with ideas, please tell me about the multitude of free voice options I can use on the PS3?

    The first video was just lag. The 2nd video was caused by him using an instant-cast ability while inside the aoe, animation-locking him to that position until the animation completes.... I already acknowledged that's a pretty serious problem with the game, but I'm pretty confident the'll be...

    2.5 seconds is a fair amount of time to type on a keyboard and play with a gamepad at the same time. I think it would be difficult to do with anything faster. But I guess that makes me a moron. I can get out a word or two in between presses and have not sacrificed any gameplay or my ability...

    Oh sure, quality... yes, I agree 100%... but quantity... meh, As long as they're anywhere between Everquest's 1 expansion every 6 months and WoW's 1 expansion every 2 years, I'll be alright. But I think it's too soon to complain about "quantity" of content.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Exactly, it was broken in SWTOR at launch too, because some artist and/or programmer made a poor decision to sync combat to the animation. It seems logical, but it is definitely a problem that can be fixed, not something completely game breaking. The syncing plagued WoW as well, can't really...

    I'm not defending the lack of things to do at 50, but it's hardly a "step backwards", WoW isn't a very good example to use, IT was a step backwards from Everquest circa 2005-06 Planes of Power or even before in either Kunark or Velious... IN THAT ONE TINY ASPECT ie: "Things to do at max level"...

    The only innovation WoW has had in the past 4 years was Pokemon. If you don't think Blizzard was "milking" WoW after WotLK released with a skeleton B-Team crew, you'd be wrong.

    I'm only upset that I never got to do a speed run myself also: I dislike the 30 minute afk kick timer, if I play from work, I'm generally gone for at least an hour between breaks (working), it was nice not having to re-login each time.

    Was playing on my laptop next to my Girlfriend(ps3) who was tanking Brayflox 2 days ago. Realized I could see his breath attack a good half-second before she could (she got hit by the first 3 in a row). Starting calling out 'move' each time it appeared. We won the fight, afterward she cried...

    Venturebeat: Blizzard delays unannounced MMO until 2016, resets whole project

    swtor better executed than ffxiv? obvious troll is obvious. At least ffxiv doesn't start shiting the bed until there are about 50 players/npcs on screen. SWTOR stopped working after about 20. If you're only playing 2-3 hours a day, and not skipping quest text, it would take you more...
