Yeah, on SA a lot of people were complaining about seeing other people around them at all at any point. It kind of made me boggle - I mean, it's an MMO. That's kind of the point. I'm not sure what the expectations were exactly. Some went on to explicitly call out dungeons where everything was...

I heard dungeons weren't instanced. That's a possible positive to readers of this board, right? Although, I only got to level...2 before I was bored, so I wouldn't know.

$10 for MOP? I'll probably have some dead time in MMO lifespan in the next six months. Probably worth it, even if I only do the solo stuff.

So much I love about this game. Being able to own everything so much earlier gets rid of a lot of the tedium of back-tracking. It's Zelda, I know how to play, just let me play. Pick-and-chose what dungeon you feel like going to. The stamina meter I was skeptical about, but I've really liked...

I think the hate this is getting is more than it deserves, but the bottom line is I played for maybe 20 minutes and was bored, went back to LOTRO and the new Zelda.

Edit: You left out the other tiers! $200 is instant alpha access, and there's $1000 and $2500 levels too. I don't like being right At least they give you a chance at the $20 level even. This really feels like a "EQN is charging for alpha and people are paying? Shit, lets announce quickly...

I know it's not an MMO, but D3's ROS beta is pretty unprecedented. It's a closed Friends & Family thing, the entire game except the final boss fight is there, and amazingly enough, there's no NDA. Compared to D3 vanilla open beta or whatever, that ended after Skeleton King. Generally I...

I never refuted he was a shill. You were quoting him like "everyone form their opinions" is a bad thing to say simply because he's a shill. He can be a shill, and still be correct some times, just like Ut is crazy and can still be correct some times. "People should form their own opinions" is...

I can't think of anytime Beo has came around said NO X IS AWESOME, YOU'RE WRONG. Meanwhile, Ut has repeatedly bashed us in the face with NO IT'S SHIT IT'S ABSOLUTE SHIT YOU WILL NOT LIKE IT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO LIKE IT. That's the difference. And hell, even if Beo has said something like that...

My concerns from watching some RoS streams: -BoA ALL THE THINGS (seriously guys, even to crafting mats? Dial it back a notch.) -Welcome to Paragon 2.0! You're weaker now. -Mob density seems way less. I thought them originally increasing it was one of the more fun additions to vanilla. -Exp...

Yeah well I fuck bitches and get them pregnant just by looking at them, then I turned around and fuck their boyfriends too just so they know who the boss is then my ass shits rainbows of money and I give it to political funds so I can control congress all while snorting coke off of my mom's eye...

They knew you were RMT'ing. This isn't a court of law where you get to go free without sufficient evidence. They knew it, gave zero fucks about what they could prove or not, because it didn't matter.

The masses prefer linear. It's easier, straight forward, no confusion, no getting lost, no risk, easy reward.

While MMOs aren't dead, the gaming landscape is drastically different than it was in 1999-2005. The bar for "perceived success" is so unrealistically high that no MMO will ever hit it. Also it's very difficult to talk anyone into playing just one (or mainly one) game for years on end. There's...

Explicitly finally stating that his financial prowess is from being a young doctor.

It's not my argument, but to play along.... GW2 was extremely playable at launch. Their auction house thing was down, but the game was playable, beyond some lag here and there. It was actually the most playable launch I've been a part of, thanks to their overflow servers - no queues, you got...

Well, there was actually a time where people used to call people dumb for even pre-ordering a game, back when that started being an option. Now it's standard. Then "pre-orders come bundled with early access to betas!". And now it's "Well the game is free, so straight up pay us for alpha". It's a...

Got mine, same time as my wife got hers. Not a good weekend though, what with Helm's Deep tomorrow and Zelda on Friday, but I'll try to give it a couple of hours on the weekend.

I spend hundreds a month on Transformers. Yes, plastic robot toys. And I'm a grown ass married man with a family, a mortgage, retirement funds, etc. (Still not buying the Founder's pack, though).

I'm at work so I can't google up some videos for you, but they're all sorts of varying shapes and patterns, instead of just circles. A boss fight from the esper video was mostly all red with some almost checkboard-like areas you stood in. Typical landscape mobs seem to be the usual circles and...

Yeah, #2 is closest to why I have issues with it. I don't think it's an easy/hard thing either. Just seems like combat will degrade into nothing but staring at the floor, which will wear out its welcome. Then again, my favorite RPG combat that kept me in the game world the most is the TES...

Yeah, telegraphs aren't going anywhere, as they're a core part of the game as designed. I still think it can lead to good discussion about people liking / disliking them though, as long as it ended with "If you don't like them, turn it off" which completely misses the point and kills the...

I don't really see the value of being that way about it. That's like when people respond to "WoW's too easy and quest driven" with "well just go to a higher level zone and grind mobs". The game is designed to be played a certain way. It's totally valid to critique that design, and just...

So never. Thanks a lot, Obama.

"Do we need a new thread title yet?" = "shitting up the thread" See kids, you learn something new every day! (I really can't tell if this is playful banter and sarcasm or actual mad-face-jimmies-rustled, it's not like this thread is so active that the question was a huge derail)

I'm not up-to-date with Minecraft, but I know at one time MC was testing out a "Mojang hosted servers" thing. I don't know what happened with it. Other than that though, yeah, you ran your own. Really though, this is a Cubeworld rip more than Minecraft. Cubeworld has the open multiplayer...

I enjoy LOTRO, but I'm a nerd, so even though the gameplay is typical MMO bear ass and click shinies, I get a lot of enjoyment from the world and lore. They do a great job at bringing the books to life. I think the Big Battles, watching from Youtube, look pretty fun, but not too sold on the...

My concern with the telegraph system is it's going to be a game of nothing but stare at the floor. WoW was already bad enough with that, but with the added bonus of 'watch 100 mods and bars and buttons'. These things take you out of the game world - not bring you into it. There's definitely a...

I hope they launch with a groundbreaking, original, and attention getting "Brad McQuaid is about to make you his bitch" campaign.

It really depends. If you dig deep and fast without improving your weapons and gear as you delve? Yeah, you can get swarmed and die and lose everything pretty quickly. If you move slow, upgrade quickly, and stay away from big open areas where you can't see all around you, yeah, you'll never die.

Really expensive alpha access.

Actually visually, it makes me think of CubeWorld. Like...almost exactly like Cubeworld, from a graphical standpoint. Don't know much what to say about this. I have nothing bad to say, but it really feels like big companies are finally starting to copy what Minecraft did with a true sandbox...

Swear level noted! Well, they're definitely marketing EQNL as it's own full fledged "F2P" game (although SOE F2P is usually horrible). But the problem is, as we all know, that all of it's on napkins and shit instead of being anything demonstrable. That being said, I think what they're...

Why are you so mad at something you obviously are in the dark about? -Yes paying money gets you into the game -It's expected to launch in Beta no later than March 2014 I think. Who knows when it becomes "official" though. -"Better" than Minecraft is not something anyone can say. They're...

Yes, but only when you say it

To break up the key begging, I refuse any beta keys. New LOTRO expac soon, then Zelda. I ain't got time for no beta. Lots of people (not me) all over PS4 and XBone too.

Man, that's a crazy way to take the engineer class, for sure. I can see why they'd want to reveal that themselves.

Sure I guess, figured everyone had seen it.Edited Winter Beta Patch Notes - Pastebin.com I found it on SA, which got it from a sub-reddit, and that guy probably got it from 4chan or some such. It has a piece that was explicitly asked to not be leaked removed.

You read that? Why?

I believe he tweeted about assembling his team a while ago. I'd assume by now there's a team of 4-5 people which is probably how it'll stay for a bit, but it could still very well be just him doing it full time with a one or more other guys doing it in the spare time.
