    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I dunno, I had a lot of fun with P99 as well. I think it's possible to recreate something that gives a lot of a similar enjoyment. That being said, never, in 1999 nor on p99, did I play a MMO for months and months on end. Typically around 3-4 month stints before I feel the need to play...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    I'm curious about how much original things said regarding the game actually still apply. Things like huge sprawling multi-layer dungeons, that you wouldn't leave for a long time, as your character slowly worked their way down. They definitely need good scripting and other tools, so once...

    While I think the "dated by 10 years" statement is overdoing it, you also can't realistically expect the graphics fidelity to noticeably change that much. As Tenks said, they have what Unity has, which is a huge leg up, but it's also going to be their limiting factor. They might improve some...

    Oh, so when I was watching it...these things are usually really scripted and everyone knows everything that's going on. It honestly sounded like, at times, these guys really didn't know some things. Like that the fuzzy troll idol would drop, or how to get past the environmental pillar of hurt...

    I did the $50 or whatever KS backing, but that was it. I think pledging on their site is too close to just setting your money on fire. I got plenty of other games to play.

    Late to the game, but skimmed through the video and watched a lot of it. Congrats to them on actually having something to that level of playable. Definitely an old school feel. And to think, Convo told us even this much wouldn't happen. Long way to go before it's a full game we can all play...

    Good thing they held off on releasing EQN info for so long, because they were afraid someone was going to steal their ideas. You know, the "Go almost bankrupt, get bought out by some random company who immediately guts us and changes the name, then cancels our flagship title" idea. Now...

    Has there been some evidence of this that I'm not privy too? Feb 2015 we got a video, were promised "much more soon!" which really meant "nothing else at all" apparently. We found a few new screenshots on the website last fall. Has there been something else that I've missed?

    Started playing the latest update the other day. Minas Tirith is awesome. It's fucking huge, and super detailed. Lots of quests running you all around in it too. Lawl at the quest that has you throw a chicken off the top of the big ass pier thing.

    Thanks man - didn't realize it had just one big expensive piece form a vendor as part of it. And yeah, the reason I was saying DK was a quick route to 60 to get the profession boost. But still, with that cost, I'd have to get to 100 and spend a lot of time with the garrison to buy them still.

    Anyone tell me how much does it actually cost to make those dumb panther mounts? My server is dead, and it's only the same 1 or 2 people listing them for 40k. Real servers it sells for like 25-30k. I'm tempted to make a DK, pick whatever craft it is (Jewelcrafting I think?), use my 90 boost...

    Short version: multi-dotting sucks and is a huge pain in the ass because targeting in WoW sucks dick. But here's how I deal with: Use "target next", not target closest. That's for just cycling what's on screen. Use nameplates. Some like Tidy Plates (as mentioned), I use ElvUI which has...

    Fucking terrible. I finally got Lady's. I was shocked. No luck on the others yet though. The final boss is cake at 100 at least - the adds die instantly even with my insta-cast super weak dot. If you get lucky, you can even skip that annoying phase. I can't reproduce it, but it happened once...

    On top of what Flipmode said, they also said the art and UI was very temporary. Which could be bullshit to just calm people down and hold off the bitching for a bit. They also have made it sound like there will be a lot less followers, and you'll be going on out on the missions with them.

    Yeah just doubling-down on this. I tried to get this last week without reading comments first, and let her slowly whiddle them down with breath, doing ALL the damage. Took multiple breaths, but she did finally kill then, and I got a whopping 0 credit. Badly described achievement is badly...

    If you get her, make sure she doesn't have Unholy Ascension slotted (use that popular pet battle addon). If she does, leave, join again. The first time I saw her, she suicided on me But that was only with 10 mins of looking. I found her again after another day of doing a 10 minute check. I...

    Frostwolf Orcs, Arakkoa Outcasts, and Laughing Skull orcs (although he's only a 50 rep kill, may not be worth it). I think that's all the launch reps except the PVP one.

    Note that CRA is also great for maxing reps. If you find a rare that you can solo (any/all of the WoD launch reps everyone can solo rares for with Baleful gear, although the steamwheedle rep ones are a little more challenging), just keep realm hopping until you max it.

    They said they were looking to tone them down. Right now, set bonuses apparently are a stupidly huge step up in DPS (I wouldn't know, I've only done LFR and a little bit of normal raiding).

    While I don't disagree, and I'm definitely in the camp that's happy about it - this is FAR from new, and people keep mentioning it like it is new. WoW and Diablo have ALWAYS stolen back and forth from each other. WoW launched with D2 skill trees. WoW iterated for years, eventually dumped...

    I didn't have any trouble leveling through WoD. Just resubbed the other day, and had trouble with more than 1-2 mobs in the little story bit to unlock the shipyard, but after about a quick 25 iLevels (633->658) from Tanaan and LFR stuff is melting fine again. Then again, I've never ever just...

    Just like dungeons, that they're actually killing now, while they claim Fractals are the dungeon replacements. Then they don't make any new Fractals either. I'm done with this expansion already (I basically fucking hated it - it goes against everything that made the base game great IMO), but...

    They already do megaserver/server merges basically, don't they, with the CRZ shit and the "soft server merges" where you still log into your server, but you see people from other servers in town or what not that you've been "merged" with.

    They are successes! They just didn't live up to what fans had in mind, so then people call them failures, even though by money sense they were successes. Even if the original investors/publishers/whoever had hoped for something larger, they were still successes. Just to varying degrees. And...

    My gut reaction is NO DON'T TAKE THEM AWAY but I think to games where addons aren't there (GW2) or not heavily used (LOTRO) and I really don't miss them. I think they'd have to change their game a bit, as people pushing progression wouldn't be as on point and therefore the fight couldn't be...

    WarcraftDevs on Twitter: Good news for DoT classes like my shadow priest. The less amount of addons I have to install / configure in between the months I play the better. That's honestly a huge turnoff for me sometimes - knowing that to be optimal I have to keep my addons configured.

    Nah, it won't be anything so binary, although people will claim it's the former (because any MMO that they personally don't play 24/7 for a year solid "failed", just like WoW with it's million of dollars or SWTOR). I think at this point it will actually release in some state (whether it's one...
