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

    I stopped reading after this point. History has already repeated itself. Otherwise, how do you explain the terrible Kickstarter launch, the absence from this forum, the inexcusable misappropriation of funds, etc? Brad's had his 2nd chance and squandered it. It's time to stop giving attention...

    Why rush in and get aggro? I would assume you'd want to avoid aggro until you spun up two CBs and lay down a TS for 3 PPs. Just makes more sense.

    This was posted on reddit last night. Info worth knowing... The past day has had the front page and new full of bugs/issues/etc, lets consolidate it into one place instead of letting it flood the front page. Here are some of the problems and solutions I've read through the day. If you want...

    At some point you can dilute any game down to keyboard presses and mouse movements. I'm here to tell you, you've reached it. Congrats! Edit based on above edit: I can appreciate that. I think with how many MMOs that have been released in the last 15 years, people have really honed in on what...

    A quest I did last night had me tie a rocket to a pig and shoot it out of a cave. Your argument is invalid.

    I don't think anyone disagrees with that, especially if you've been playing MMOs for 20 years. The reality is, though, it doesn't take very long to get past it and the quantity of activities increases significantly, which was Tarrant's point. If you like MMOs, it's really hard to believe how you...

    I like it when you play the "I'm obtuse" card in these arguments because it makes you looks like a complete idiot. The common thread is the developer thinking they know what's "best" for their player base. Limits on adding friends into your phase (TESO/Wildstar), lack of an auction house (TESO)...

    And we all saw how successful that type of mentality worked out for TESO when devs chose their "vision" over what the players wanted/desired.

    I hadn't run into that, but that's just dumb. I still don't understand why game companies continue to add mechanisms that limit people from playing with their friends in an MMO. Stupid.

    Blizzard? Cute. It sounded like you might have some insight on the situation, but you don't. It's not like that type of content release schedule is impossible, Guild Wars 2 has had a more aggressive content release schedule this past year. Granted its success can be debated, but there is an...

    They've stated time and again that they have monthly updates planned and a sizable amount of content ready for post release. I don't really understand the "carbine works really really slowly" part. Time with tell regarding quality and execution. I think we've all would have preferred a faster...

    Flipping AMPS is a tedious waste of time... and probably the worst way to capitalize on the blossoming commodities market. If you really want to make money, focus on large volume items that folks are selling below vendor in bulk. A few of the real gems to make money on are Ironbark Wood and...

    I feel the same way. The game is so well done. In comparison to all the high-profile launch in the last 5 years, this game is head and shoulders above all them from a content and polish perspective. If I knew how good this game was before I started playing a few weeks ago, I wouldn't have spent...

    That being said, this is the most solid and complete MMO at launch ever. Their success will be determined by how well this type of game is going to be received in 2014 in combination with how they manage the game going forward. It could completely fall apart as people consume and dissect it, but...

    They need to start relaxing the caps or start adding some more PvP servers. 10am PST and all PvP servers are full. Granted it's a Saturday, but people shouldn't be sitting in queues already during launch.

    I just chalk that up to their horrible tutorial/newbie experience. They spend an inordinate amount of time telling you shit you already know (i.e. WASD is to move) and very little time explaining the nuances of their game. The raid gear as a whole, looks really dull and uninspired... almost like...

    Exactly. Wildstar has some valid issues, but the default control scheme isn't one of them. Will it make the game difficult for some? Maybe, maybe not. The assumption that it would be hard, is only coming from the position that someone thinks it would be hard because it isn't the way they...

    ...to you. My counter point to your example of the description of that style of play being the same as playing a Mage in WoW still stands. Whether or not you find it counter-intuitive is irrelevant, as millions of people have been able to accommodate themselves to that style of play just fine...
