I'll have to start randomly messaging a lot of you guys who are on my friends list. I was able to get my light level from about 230 to 270 this weekend. It's not much of a grind - there is a lot of stuff to do. Don't just do the most optimal. I haven't done anything but quests and the occasional...

I feel like it doesn't matter what guilds wars 2 does, it won't be sticky because I'll have all of the new attacks within 15 minutes of firing it up. The idea that you have a skill set for each weapon (per class of course) and that you can get every possible move so fast makes it very boring...

Wow, 2016 release date. A full 4 years after it came out in Korea.

Probably the funniest thing I've read all month.

What the fuck were you guys expecting? Do you not remember their first game? Why would you even install this trash?!

I'll try it when it's ~$15 on PS4. They'll probably have it on sale for plus members this fall. I played roughly 15 minutes in the beta and it was horrible.

I think I have it figured out. The last time that I have heard so many pie-in-the-sky features for a game was the Ultima Online FAQ, ~1996, which featured some great nuggets like if you killed too many deer in the forest, dragons would have to start attacking towns to get their food. Yes...

C'mon man, you have to be trolling at this point. That kind of shit never, ever makes it into games.

Skyrim was the first elder scrolls game where 3rd person wasn't wonky as fuck. It was marginal in Oblivion and you're out of your fucking mind if you think 3rd person worked at all in Morrowind. Prior to that it wasn't even an option.

Horrible. Destiny chat didn't even exist until they patched it in ~6 months after release. There still isn't text chat.

I got a console key but I didn't consider downloading it for even a second. 50 GB download for a beta, on a console, that expires a few days after you download it? I'm not sure who took them up on that offer.

Wow, what a super unprofessional thing to tack on to the end of a statement. Who the fuck is going to work for/with them when they do things like that?!

In my opinion, which is apparently the minority opinion, that's an extremely flawed view. There is a reason that publishing houses aren't picking up this game. The players shouldn't be the ones to fund such a project. Given the track record of the people involved with this project I would be...

Hundred(s) of dollars so that you can have a character that persists when the game launches 3 or 4 years from now. Great investment, everyone!

When your money enables the industry to keep doing the bullshit that they are doing, yes, people are going to tell you what to do you with your money. Buy now! Unlock Act 1 for the price of the box! Act 2 and Act 3 DLC available in the in game store! Pre-order now and get a dragon pet to...

I really wish people would stop paying for incomplete products. Pre-order rewards are out of control. Wait until there is a product worth buying before parting with your money.

Don't get hyped up over this bullshit, c'mon. The Designer Dragon era wasn't that long ago. Shadowbane was a technological pile of shit. Take off the rose colored glasses. This thing doesn't have enough content to create a kickstarter video, much less some super secret alpha build. That's just...

Delta Force.

Ladder resets is a good feature on a MMO. It's time to try it, at least. Lord knows I'm sick of everything else. Hell, I'm thinking about re-installing D3, at this second, specifically because of the new season.

PoE is a great example. You mean to tell me you can't play the entire game, up to and including the 'end game' for $0? No shit! You can play the game enough to know if you want to drop 20 bucks on it for stash tabs that then lets you optimally play the end game. The 50 hours you played prior...

UO's inventory was awesome. Recall that you could do targeted pickpocketing in that game. Early in the game (the first two years or so) the item weight limit to stealing was such that if someone disarmed their crossbox (or even a greater crossbow) you could steal it out of their inventory...

How do you guys put up with the dogshit character controls and combat in this series? What am I overlooking? I can't make it more than 15 minutes - it's just TERRIBLE.

Large acquisitions like this usually have large retention bonuses that are paid out at some point in the future. The usual structure is something like, 25% after 3 months, 25% after 6 months, 50% after 1 year. Sometimes it's spread over the course of two years. With that said, I expect a very...

Without googling or looking at anyone elses answers for Ut's quiz - Hell I even forget the question exactly, but my guess would be 300 baud, 1200 baud, 2400 baud, 4800 baud, 9600 baud, and US robotics is the standout company from the modem time period, in my opinion. My father, having cystic...

I love my posts in this thread. Hopefully the timestamps come across.

While we're kind of talking about MUDs, I put most of my time into Carrion Fields. It's still running!Carrion Fields MUD

Did you play AC1 or AC2? Did you play UO? What about the Planetside 1 & 2? Friendly fire is fine. It doesn't penalize AE classes because there won't be any AE 'classes' - there will be AE 'skills' which will be situational, positional, and tactical. It's a much better experience.

Group 3 here. This game needs friendly fire. If I see any kind of zerg stacking nonsense I'm bailing out faster than you can blink.

EQ was those things to you guys because it was really your real deep multiplayer experience. For me, I have a certain attachment to earthquaking people in Meridian 59 and camping various spots in UO dungeons. Camping various floors of Hythloth I was way more deadly than any of the NPCs. And I...

Fans of MMOs have ignored the genre for the past 5 years.

Bloodborne is coming out at the end of March. So you could buy a PS4 now, or buy one in March. May as well get it now, right?

Right now isn't early access through steam? If you do that kind of shit on steam, they disable your entire steam account. You'll lose access to every single thing you ever bought on steam.

They can call it anything they want. If you are taking peoples money, you have launched a product.

Yep, and I'll thank them for the beta testing when I pick it up on PS4 for $20 less than 2 months after the console release.

Not sure why everyone still puts so much weight behind Koster's name. Everything that was positive about player vs player interactions in UO was an accident that they worked for years to remove. SWG brought us the fantastic HAM system, which was entirely designed by Koster, where if you...

How should I go about grouping with those who are on my friends list? Do I just blindly invite you or join you or something? I got to 20 rather quickly and shelved the game for a few months. Last night I went from 20.x to 23.75 in one session - so I'm looking to do the 22 and soon the 24...

If you are accepting money so that people can play right away, you have launched. Period. Call it what you want, but that's a fucking product launch.

Wow, paying for events in their boring ass game. Gamers these days will indure an incredible amount of pain. Should be playing the war z if you just want to throw money down a hole.
