Ya Smaug + Bilbo were both great IMO. Dwarves ehh.

One interesting way to address replay-ability is to have classes with very unique styles and even go back to the D&D days, with non combat skills used to complete quests... For example, imagine playing a bard and instead of slaughtering the same crapton of mobs you just did on your fighter, you...

In my opinion, Vanguard had the PERFECT balance of solo vs grp content. 1. There was plenty to do when you did not have a group, with plenty of solo and duo ( or solo if you are good ) quests/dungeons etc. 2. Yet, the premium content was Group based, without question. 3. ALTs, this sounds odd...

Yep. I view this, The Repopulation, Star Citizen, Pathfinder Online, Black Desert my last shot(s) at MMOs. If none of these pan out to my liking I will be playing and modding Skyrim forever, going back to military strategy gaming and playing the few good rpg single player releases that come...

I am curious to see beta, but this was a) a sandbox from the start b) in some ways thought of as swg2 ( without the light sabres ) ... However, its hard to say how the game has evolved and at this point if we don't see something in 2014 as in openish beta, i think vaporware concerns are...

I have a hunch that is what they are doing...

Honestly its based on the fact that as far as "old school" MMOs go, this may be our only shot.

EQ iOS i am betting... but has that already been debunked ?

Love to hear about specifically what u mean I.e. Revenue models that exploit users .. It has been obvious to most of us gamers but I would love to hear this validated by someone in the biz... Not sure if you can share. Anyway good luck man !!

I have been playing lately and it's OK but mercs + aa really made the game so easy it's pretty boring. I am soloing w/merc heroic mobs 8 levels above me. The stat change they made was lame as shit and really dumbed the game down and so much. My only hope is doing old school raids solo or with a...

There are many places in vanguard dungeons where you have to trigger a boss spawn based on collecting things, working a questline etc... There are other dungeons with the usual timer based spawns... i liked having a mix frankly.

Then please let there be pvp servers... because that will be some fun.

there are quite a few similarities to SWG with this title.

Having fun with this... anyone interested in a progression guild ?

Honestly I find myself just playing old titles for the most part... anything that has come MMO wise since vanguard has been a horrible experience and a waste of time for me other than RIFT once i leveled one char and realized it sucked. I play DDO, vanguard and recently returned to EQ2 and I am...

Not a suprise to me... for example the MMO industry as a whole has been really focused on how to capture RMT rather than improving the gaming experience.. which is why we will see more RIFTS and less games with staying power for a while... it has to come from indie now.

WoW vanilla endgame was great many interesting dungeons/raids to crawl. But of course, MMOs cater to the solo champions now so ... there ya go. Everyone wants to be a Leroy and WIN and the industry gave it to em.

For what ? Games are still designed and implemented for the most part to console specs. I have been running at 1900x1200 for what 10 years now almost ? Many newer games look better at lower resolution because they are not targeting those high resolution and the textures look like ASS. Yet...

All I think when I read this is how the evolution of these games went from primarily grp based to primarily solo based and when that happened all the suck began. Even some old mechanics like collect 5 bear balls gets more interesting when you have to delve into a dungeon with a group to...

can this be played with a controller ? I don't recall when i tried it.

while i agree with you i have been expecting more than wow since wow and all we got was a part of wow ... at this point WoW is looking damn good ( old WoW anyway ).

Hell if its a WoW clone done right sign me up... just no more 1/4 WoW or 1/3 WoW or 1/2 WoW with twist. WoW in space, cool.

Ha I knew when I played rift I had seen it all before ! Rofl

I remember in beta i was in gloamwood and 2 things happened. 1. The evil side came to play there was massive pvp happening 2. there was a HUGE ass invasion at the same time.. warewolf party I probably still have screenshots somewhere on my box but man that was an awesome time, i was...

Indeed... it was sarcasm as I expect many to go wtf to turn based... I am digging it however ( single player version anyway ).

Few but some coming. I asked myself this very thing last year having already played Dragon Age Origins ( which is not bad to play once ). So I dusted offNeverwinter Nights 2and was pleasantly surprised. It was the best title I played in 2013 although clunky and it took a bit of a headlock to...

I did some of that as well, great for ipad on planes !

Yep. The heroic mode dungeons were retreads. Trion was great at one thing it seemed "recycling content". I just loaded it up for a go and noticed they took any and all snares out of the ranger/marksman.( can't recall where they were but they were there ). My guess: pvp balancing fucks pvE...

I agree that is the question we should be asking ! This is such a troll i feel but I am going to download and run around a bit. So whoever started this, ya got me.

Its sad when we judge games based on "how well they managed their $$" and now hot good the damn game was. I liked RIFT, just felt there was not enough of it.

Thought I would mention that Shadowrun online is supposed to be in beta soonTM. Search for thread on this title came up nada, I think Shadowrun Online | The online Shadowrun game of the future Turn based combat ??? wtf ??

I played TERA briefly and did recall aiming a bit although it has been a long time.. How do you think this combat system works for magic ? Aiming spells or ? In all the action games I have seen Magic has suffered imo and I wonder if there is a way to make it work. ( even if they left magic...

I will never understand why it is so difficult to make an open world pvp "game". Server option ? World with overlapping of content between factions ? That's really it. Been done before.

LOL !

Grinding for hours is not what I miss... It was an early mechanic that could/should be improved upon... what bugs me about new titles is they are more and more solo centric and fracture my original reason for playing MMOs.

Its annoying as shit to be running along with 50 ppl as if in some marathon doing solo quests. It reminds me of fucking airport security.

You know given skyrim sales by platform, you must think the true target market of this game is Skyrim buyers on consoles.

Skyrim sold like what 12 million or so units ? How many are in beta ? not many, how many are reading details about what is in or not in the game. Many of those people will not be well informed but see ELDER SCROLLS logo on a box ( digial or box-box ). Hell I may playthrough it just for...

It will sell a crapton based on being Elder Scrolls alone...

the game felt like a bunch of features from various games and MMOs thrown together in a soup that when all together you realize... this shit does not go together well.
