Nice - the wife and kid are going to her in-laws on Friday. I'll have the place to myself Friday. If I can finally get some grouping going on, this would work out excellently.

Developers all have stronger and weaker suits. You aim to be "T-shaped" in your a skill set. You can do anything, but are more of an expect in a certain area. Usually there's a team, people spread around the work, and colloborate a lot (on healthy teams, at least). Depending on deadlines and...

Most developers worth a shit can handle the basics. A developer who can't set up Outlook needs a new career. Most good devs can handle the basics - set up your database server, set up your webserver, set up the security properly, etc. Depending on the language and environment you're developing...

I posted it in the comments, I'll post it here too. Needing to know this answer is what's keeping me at just $100 as opposed to $250: Basically, as others have said - what's the business plan here? What's the contingency to those plans? I'm not happy, but willing to piss away $100 on the...

Because it's not worth the effort to dig up your post, even if it's only 1-2 pages ago. Hell, I couldn't even remember your name properly, and it's like...2 posts above mine.

Yeah, I wasn't getting all the hate from the previous live stream of group play a few months ago (haven't watched the video linked above), but once I tried to play it myself - ugh. I went in expecting Skyrim style bow and arrow, and got....hell if I know. But Beowulf said it was perfect bow...

Man, that PC Gamer article is awesome! All fears abated! Upping my pledge! (Seriously though, on this issue at least, I feel for Brad. He has no control over them).

YeahLight was all "not gonna host an emu" - does the new owner / lead / whatever of EQ Classic have a different outlook?

I want to know if this isn't funded, if they'll continue to work on it after-hours. Or just say "oh well!" and move on.

So, with the revelation of the world's tiniest claim space for a game centered around building and creating, anyone having buyer's remorse?

There's zero reason to think that. The most likely scenario is PC Gamer fell behind their timeline writing up the article. That's it.

Said it a few pages ago, but I'll say it again more succinctly: If this fails (even if it doesn't, I think they should do this anyways, but whatever): Go dark, get jobs, make this a project of passion until you have some zones fleshed out, some models beyond placeholders, some rudimentary...

Good point.

Yeah, I think a lot of mount hatred can go away if they're not simply "push magic button to run faster". Imagine if they didn't poof, if they always existed in the world, if they needed to be feed / cared to some degree (not a full on...tomogachi? Whatever those hand held things kids had in...

There's a big difference between maps and maps with a player marker on them. I'm fine with maps. Make maps be able to be annotated. Mini-maps take you out of the game world, and drawing a marker / player arrow on a big map does it even worse.

Yeah, that's what keeps happening to me. I did the HL quests (except the last one, gotta get dude's head) and the URT quests, because those were fun (URT cracks me up). But almost everything else bores me. But I'm not a gold member, so I can't use the gear. I'd like to sub for a month so I can...

Has anyone leveled up recently? I'm 23 - if I try to pick this up yet again (third or fourth time), just wondering if I should expect to be able to find random LFGs for some good dungeon runs, or should I just power my way through bear asses and have fun dungeon times at/near the max end.

What happened to a PC Gamer article today? Is it magazine only, or is it going to be online some point later today?

I meant permanent as "always accessible", not necessarily "always turned on if you don't have your torch out / holding a fire beetle eye in your hand / whatever". I wouldn't want it to be 100% pitch black either in outdoor zones, but I'd expect a much decreased amount of visibility when you're...

I'm all for it, but doesn't this go against The Vision of the project?

Is this not solved with giving everyone a permanent light source they can bring out? It can avoid the newbie death trap of "I walked outside and was blind and died I hate this game.". Later on you'd get good gear with light source effects, much like EQ. Speaking of nighttime - having things...

This KS is definitely weird from what most seem to be. I thought it typically went like this: -You have independent funding, and / or work nights on your own time. -Eventually you have a demo-ish game. Some rudimentary systems are place, a couple of areas are semi-fleshed out. People can get...

Every developer is always making it up, until it's developed. Then, and only then, does it actually exist and is it resistant to change. Source: I'm a developer :P

If it makes you feel any better, I think Wildstar looks like the same dumb boring shit we've all played 1000 times before. And if you browse the internet even briefly, you'll find this is FAR from the only community that thinks this game is horrible. I'm sorry that you feel RR picked on you...

You kinda answered yourself. Why bother with the complexities of Brotherhood, when leveling in every other MMO is so much easier and quicker anyways, and the root problem (how can I play with friends) is solved with mentoring / side-kicking. Given that most MMOs are solo-focused anyways until...

Are women allowed to continue talking if men enter the room?

It could definitely be very hard to find a group in EQ. It all depends on what your playtime was, and what level you were in relation to the 'era' you played during it, along with how popular your server was. Lots of times the dungeons for your level range would be overflowing. Who here doesn't...

I was being tongue-in-cheek because his suggestion was pants-on-head retarded. But yeah, anyone who enjoyed classic EQ and/or P99 would be the "feedback worth listening to" pool I'd think.

That's super productive. Although I don't know how that actually fucks other guilds.

Totally agree, 100%, make this a rule.

Project 1999 - Raid Policy

Yeah, he was supposed to get back to us with his thoughts on bow combat. Or maybe he did and I missed it.

Got some good responses from Noel on the KS site (I believe that's Iri-something here?) Nothing shocking, but all good answers! Can't wait to hear more about progression.

Does not compute.

Yeah that was my thoughts. Most of us here have lamented the direction of the MMO genre over the past 10 years, and this is the best bet we have at a MMO we'd be interested in beyond a month. Put up or shut up seemed appropriate. It could just be that, as much as none of us like it - the...

Man, Kotaku and SA comments both have a lot of negativity and "HE RUINED VG" and what not. Maybe it hadn't been long enough for people to forget about some of that stuff.

Psstt....it's tongue-in-cheek. "THANKS OBAMA" is a joke. Not actual politics by any stretch of the imagination.

It will be when this launches. THANKS OBAMA.

Agree. Fuck minimaps. I'm fine with in-game maps that reveal fog-of-war style. Especially if you could make your own notes on it! No "you are here" marker though. Hell, I'd love to see "cartographer" to be an actual thing. Sell better maps. Get better detail on the reveal. Multi-layer...

There goes $100! Putting my money where my mouth is.
