Fixed. Hoho, zing!

The default WoW UI has about 95% of the shit you"ll ever actually need to play the game unless you"re a power gamer or a healer. Now that threat and focus target frames are built into the UI you could probably get by without needing any mods really.

Well you could always flag certain stages un-predoable depending on the logic behind it. It would rely heavily on how you design quests and if you made them with being able to complete stages ahead of time in mind it would have a heavy influence. It would still be doable it"s just how you build...

Well, to make a focus on long quest chains work you"d have to do what others have said. Essentially allow completion ahead of time in a quest chain. If you have a 30 stage quest line and while grouped with friends you complete steps 13~21 and 28, while your"e still only at stage 3, once you get...

Pretty sure there"s a significant difference between your servers shitting out on you because you weren"t prepared for 1 million users and a terrain exploit allowing one team advantage in a battleground for nearly 11 months. One thing I"ll never understand is why gaming companies keep...

One thing you could do that VG sorta did during beta and then abandoned along with every other semi-good idea they had was to separate quests into different categories and handle them that way. In the quest log/adventure journal/whatever you have 4~5 tabs. One for "adventures" which are long...

1) The entire game. This "expect bugs to be patched later" thing is bullshit. Always has been, always will. 2) Customer Service. If my company had the same customer service as Blizzard or Sony or Mythic or etc...had we"d be out of fucking business. It"s shameful. It"s a testament to the...

Some of the responses in that thread make me sad. Two-boxing is cheating? Really?

Someone needs to write "From fetuspults to alchemy to "seriously guys it"s in the next beta push: A comprehensive list of failed promises, pitiful reassurances and bold faced lies." or the more succinct title, "A history of MMO"s" They could makemillions.

It"s definitely a your mileage may vary thing. Don"t get me wrong. I did the marathon xp camps with friends in EQ as well. The thing is I was having fun with my friends. We could have been playing Starcraft, Counterstrike or just hanging out in IRC. All EQ did was offer me a button to hit while...

Experience points needs to go away anyways. Another outdated mechanic. Quests are valued only because they grant significant experience over other alternatives so people find the highest xp-to-quest-time-ratio. If you used EQ"s AA"s, WoW"s talents, LOTRo"s virtues and new/spells abilities as...

Due to evolution it is estimated that by 2037 the internet will be run entirely from Sam"s basement. He is the man. Do you not realize he has slept with OVER 400 WOMEN? That"s right. What have you ever accomplished in your life? Exactly. Sam is all that is man.

Dude needs to set up a live feed on pay per view. He could fund his gaming habbit and then some.

Woah woah woah, slow down there Tex. The jury is still out on that one.

I hope so too. I"d have to take a cut in pay and work shittier hours. Fuck that noise.

Well it"s taking the decision making and moving it to the short term rather then the long term. Long term decision making creates balance issues. Let"s put it this way... Compare Rogue vs. Warlock. Assume they both do the same dps. The warlock will eventually run out of mana, the rogue never...

Though the real solution to the mana issues is to just recruit hundreds of people. That way when you run out of mana you can just swap someone in. Sorry...couldn"t resist. 8(

Fixed that for you. e;fb. Fuck you Aych.

The idea is to move more towards energy style systems. There"s still resource management/decision making, but it becomes more of a twitch/arcade style experience rather then a "Well, oops shit I"m out of mana. Now I just get to sit here and cast once every 15 seconds now I suppose" experience.

That"s pretty much identical to what WoW has now via gear swaps. Minus mana + fervor though which I <3.

Well, there"s character flagging, reputations, pvp achievements, etc...but I"m sure you could fudge the lore to suit any purpose. Which again, boils it all back down to one central issue. All this requires suspension of disbelief when it comes to lore/roleplay. There is almost no way to...

Again, hardcore guilds will do what hardcore guilds want. Forget which guild it was but they required during the height of Naxx that if you wanted to apply you had to provide 20 flasks with your app. Crazy shit. Yet 99% of guilds could give a fuck less. But let"s move on. It"s mostly a...

And was never enforced anyways. Grave: I know. But being civil is boring.

How many people here were required to level up leatherworking in order to beat end game content. You can get an almost, I think the number was something like 8% raid wide dps increase if everyone is leatherworking. Come on, show of hands. No? How about you Fog, your guild is in SWP. Did...

Edit: Never start a post and then submit it after being in a meeting for 2 hours. This is for James. Except WoW has already pushed that model and your argument falls flat. We have 5 paladins. Only two of us have tank suits in addition to our heal suits and we"re an end-game guild. By your...

Not really. It"s not like you can be all 4 classes at the same time. And even then it"s still a matter of something to do. I mean I have a 5 level 70"s personally, 2 in BT+ quality gear and I"ve brought my priest instead of my paladin on a handful of occasions. Does this mean everyone in my...

Anyways, since this has become a semantics/personal preference argument I suggest we move on before I start comparing you to Makata in retaliation and you don"t deserve that no matter how whackjob you sound. Anyways... Morpheme = GTA mmo Curt? Pretty please?!?

Same. Fucking. Thing. "Okay we need to sit healers for more dps." "Okay we need more dps, what healers want to volunteer to sit?" Same. Fucking. Thing.

Except that it won"t. And your solution to "loot rots" is bring so many people it can"t possibly rot. Yeah, there"s a valid fucking solution. Just what a group of 10 people want to be told. "LOL SHOULD HAVE RECRUITED 80 PEOPLE DICKBAGS!"

You"re fucking batshit insane. I hate being sat on fights because "oh fuck, we only need 5 healers for this, sorry asshole." That shit -sucked-. I raid because I want to raid, not because I want to have my ass sitting outside the raid zone. What fucking planet are you from?

Again, job system isn"t going to prevent you from forming a massive 500 person guild if that"s your thing. It"s not like people are going to log on one day and say "Hey, we don"t need these fuckers!" and then boot everyone. Casual guilds will still exist, holy fucking jesus. Guilds that invite...

Two things. 1) You"d still have to work to level up your characters. This "TOUCH OF A BUTTON BAM!" shit is silly. You sound like assholes who point out how with JUST A TOUCH OF A BUTTON BAM! my paladin can tank or heal. Nevermind the fact it took me 2~3 fucking months to get a tank suit, and...

Really? I would argue what you call yourself would be the biggest part of your identity.

Ideally the quest system would be based on rewarding players very much akin to the EQ AA system. In that you have generic, arch-type and then class specific abilities. I"ve posted about it before but the gist of it is I think quests would be much more entertaining if instead of rewarding you...

The sunwell loot swapping mechanic is nice, but you still end up with terrible drops. We still need dozens of conq/protector (pal/pri/war and shm/mag/war respecively) but we tend to get nothing but vanquisher (rog/dru/hunter). It"s terrible. Flat out. Terrible. Like I said, random can add fun...

Well, you could balance to the point where, like in counter-strike, he who gets the first shot wins.

Well, it depends ultimately on how much of a dick the people you play the game with are. Our guild is "relatively" hard core and yet we"re gone so far to avoid making people feel like the game is a chore to the point where our officers decided to "hire" people to farm raid mats for us in...

I tend to be long winded. <3 Anyways... Think it through again. All the problems you mentioned already exist. Not only that, but the job system alleviates, not elevates these issues. Loot distribution becomes incredibly simplified, especially if you use a DKP system to award loot. A mob...

I lied: Bullshit. People will ultimately gravitate to a class that suits them best. I"m a far better paladin then I ever was a priest. My entire guild will tell you that much. When I play a DPS class, I find I enjoy playing the mage more then hunter/rogue/warlock. If I were asked to bring a...
