I'm flat out against suicide - assisted or otherwise, abortion and the death penalty (as noted on page 1). So no. I am fine with DNRs, refusing treatment and purely palliative care. If you don't want the chemo, but want the morphine for pain until you die, that's fine. As I've said, we...

And you act like the person deciding isn't suffering from depression or other mental illness thus reducing his capacity to make such decisions. Do we let four year old children make all their decisions for themselves? No, because they are at a much reduced capacity for decision making given...

So under your logic we should kill anyone who is not making "contributions to society" but is not "strong enough" to make that decision for him or herself. Nice.

Wrong.

I already stated 400 pages ago I thought the possible release window was August 2014 to June 2015 depending on how well EQN/L does. But I'll narrow that down to end of the year 2014.

Yeah. No way should someone with only one or two tier 1 classes be able to do tier 5 content. If he can the game is broken. Especially with the "weeks" to tier 5 (1 casual week = 1 hardcore day, Say 5-10 days to max tier per class - or 200-400 days to mac tier in 40 classes?).

I'm a little meh on the class/combat system but I'll check it out and would be happy to be proved wrong about my concerns. The only thing that really disturbs me is the wholesale change to lore.

Well it is still all smoke and mirrors AFAIK.

Not going to go all white knight, but your post made me go back and read TK's posts on the last 2-3 pages and there's enough shade in them that I don't think you can attack him as a shill (at least not yet) - he argued for one starting city saying that "I'd rather have more places to explore and...

Eh maybe they're just grinding fish. No, a newbie shouldn't be killing a dragon, but there's other ways to contribute. E.g. the static beginner quests change to things that progress the Rallying Call. I still think you're going to end up playing EQN Dumar.

Is disgusting. And truth is if it was a Republican in the office 1/2 to 3/4 of the Republicans protesting Obama would be acting the same way as your silent libs . Partisanship is more important than country so we've totally fucked our future.

lol

It's Massively. And it's a late interview - the strangest new thing is the Rohsong book. Basically, looks like the DCUO communicator thing.

Static content, maybe. Total content, no. There's a tone of diabloesque procedural content.

To all those people advocating suicide please go kill yourselves. Oh wait, you don't want to do that? That is because you are not fucking crazy. Please stop trying to justify the actions of people who are not mentally well - I suggest you help any of your friends that want to jump off a...

I'd say that categorically anyone choosing to commit suicide probably falls under the DSM-IV definition of clinically depressed or other problematic mental condition. Oh there may be some exceptional perfectly sane Vulcan-like decision made by someone, sometime, somewhere, but I doubt it...

Of course it's my business. There are societal wide effects from a casual attitude towards death. Sure the media has a huge responsiblity for the various post-Colombine attacks, but so does the increasing blase attitude we have towards death in all its forms. It's a slippery slope.

Everybody, or almost everybody, goes through down periods, some people go through major depressions. If we let people kill themsevelves just because they feel bad a lot of people would be dying long before they should. I'm opposed to abortion, suicide and the death penalty - not because there...

No

What's amazing is that she is not unique. There are a lot of people in the video game industry who aren't gamers but are there because that's the job they ended up with out of college for some reason. I don't understand it myself.

Having known children, wives and friends of people who have done something similiar - I'm going to go with screw him. Suicide screws them all up, especially the kids. Tolerance of suicide is not a good thing.

Was she terrible? With all due respect to Polygon there are a lot of terrible people in the industry who don't know what the hell they're doing but somehow managed to get to the game designer or manager level. Dumar might have mentioned something about that sometime, somewhere.

That's too unwieldly. How the hell do you find anything that's not actually on the paper doll? I assume each loadout is both a base class/ability and itemization load out. Which could indeed get ridiculous. They'll sell loadouts in batches of 20.

I don't know man - the problem with corpse runs for me is that these days I can't stay up until 3am to go on an extended corpse run if I fucked up or if a buddy screwed up. I actually liked the VG compromise. You could always get your corpse back, but at an XP loss that hurt. So if you...

One area where I've always disagreed with Zehn and others is that I believe you can mix hardcore and casual elements in a game. An example I'd use is this: allow players to choose one of three XP curves when leveling - a 10% faster leveling but subject to corpse runs and XP loss, including...

Doesn't PS2 have a sub model? Anyone? Bueler?

In part because of the FTP model, they have to make it easy to get in. There can't be a "hardcore" EQ3 or whatever without a subscription model.

Well, as you know technically hybrids like Paladins or Druids are multiclassed - but you traded greater solo utility for being not as good as the pure classes on a raid. The problem with modern multiclassing is there is no tradeoff.

Yeah a center for ants.

I lean toward this because of how it altered your gameplay as a monk in EQ but switching between roles in VG was so freaking convenient given the original slow travel that I'm now okay with multiple paper dolls but I'd like a better reason (you've got a bag of holding, blah blah blah).

Ithiosar flies to ruined city after fall of Bastion. I'm pretty sure the dragon says just that in the first story. Edit: Beaten by Lleauaric.

Natives are restless. Need more info Sony.

Magic and/or smoke and mirrors

Pirates and Ninjas should be exclusive. Just like SK and Paladin.

@Aladain Loadrunner. @MacCheese I'm pretty sure I played that game, but can't remember the name for the life of me.

A good place to start ->

Eh. They're both okay. Not quite Fritz Leiber but certainly readable.

All I'm getting from this novellas is that old EQ kobolds are now called Phyxians.

Just say Disneyworld. It's okay. You're amongst friends.

Lol. This discussion again. You missed the 20 pages on this a few days back I'm guessing. Also another week gone bye and no combat doc.
