I don't think classes need to go at all. I think classes give a game flavor. I'm sick of every character being able to do everything. That's what alts are for. If your world is big enough, you can see a ton of content you didn't see the first time.

|0||00 Lol sorry. Poor attempt at humor. No I don't think I can.

What are the job prospects between the 2 degrees? Which one is more well rounded or desired?

I'm 37. I have a bachelors degree in molecular and cellular biology from the university of Arizona. I also have an associates degree in respiratory therapy. That is my current occupation. I have no prior programming knowledge but I can build computers and have become good at troubleshooting...

This game is tits! This is how you do a skill tree! Talk about choice. Idk what to spec my witch. I'm intimidated by all my choices lol.

I currently work in healthcare, but have a strong desire to get out of the field. I think I'd be interested in programming and networking and wondered what's the best degree to get that will make you as flexible as possible? I see many colleges that are technical in nature (Devry, ITT Tech...

Agreed as long as the hand holding is held to a minimum.

I'm fine with anyone talking here. If anyone thinks they can't do anythng "Un-WoW" like on any future MMOs, I just disagree. The next big game will come out of left field with things that people said they couldn't do. It won't be EQ1 reskinned, but it will be a tad slower and less convenient if...

If I had to guess I'd say Itenza...

http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/02...s-big-reveals/ 40 man raids confirmed.

That sounds reasonable. Now we just need devs with the skill and balls to actually do something like that.

Isn't that what diablo is for? That type of playstyle? Maybe MMOs aren't for people that like those types of games.

It's not my precious lol. I was just as disappointed as you.

Well since you bought the first shit game, good thing you won't have to pay to try it out. Nothing's better than free right?

Because they shut the game down, stopped charging people and made a whole new game. That takes balls. At least enough to give them a shot.

Do they plan on adding more classes besides the 4?

I'll second that. Damn near flawless beta with minimal bugs.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Denaut again.

I've seen people compare the used game market to to used bookstores and I can see their arguments but the video game market is different in a way. If studios don't sell a certain number of copies, they lose money and eventually fold. Some cheap ass gamers want a certain title but dont want to...

US broadband speeds and pricing are ridiculous. We need some EU type regulation of internet and cell phone companies badly here.

So what happens when your console breaks and you can't play your games on the refurbished/new system they give you? They aren't saying the games are tied to your acct but the console itself. That's horseshit if its implemented like that!

Definitely not true...

what?!

I hate the first person view because it doesn't show you all you would see if you were truly looking thru your own eyes. So it's not immersive to me. If in a raid I constantly have to pan down to see if I'm standing in something, that's kinda retarded. I have peripheral vision in real life...

Personally, I hate the first person view so I don't care if it stays third person. I like seeing my character.

Not sure this is MMO news bro...

So did you guys not realize the engine was complete garbage? I mean no disrespect by that I am just wondering why another one wasn't chosen.

I guess we'll see what version when more than 20 people get on screen at a time and it turns into a slide show...

I don't think anyone knows the answer to that besides the devs themselves.

But let me answer my own questions with my guesses 1. They did this to cater to people who have limited time to play. While not a wrong, they allowed people to warp all over the world and complete content perhaps faster than they should and/or monopolize said content. 2. They added this...

Im thinking along the lines of sandbox, non instanced content. Fast travel from one end of the world to another would allow a guild to lock down most of the content and that is a huge problem.

So lets start by asking a few questions: 1. Why did the devs take long travel out of the equation? 2. Why did the devs go to a BoE loot system? 3. Why did the devs speed up the leveling process? Answers to these questions could shed some insight as a lot of us on these forums...

You say "WE"...were you a VG dev?

EQ2 for all its bad stuff, did a couple things right. Their mentoring feature was great for higher level characters to delevel and help their new buddies. They also added chronomentoring, where you paid a fee and had your level reduced without a need for another character, great for farming...

It's really not even about "not catering to the masses". Really where the gamer designers lost their way is they stopped making THEIR world and we are just players in it. They have basically been trying to cater their world to everyone and their grandma, and the end result is a bland...

Some of those mechanics would have to happen rapidly though. If we kill a lot of bears, and the rabbit population grows larger, it can't take weeks for the bears to respawn. That wouldn't be practical. Speaking from a gaming perspective of course.

Swtor I presume

Fast travel needs to go away, especially if all mobs are open world and contested. We don't need 1-2 guilds locking down all the mobs all the time.

I'd imagine we'll get more info by or at E3 this year. It's supposed to launch this year so we will see.
