Already bored of it again and quitting. The item balance has beendestroyedby this corruption mechanic, as well as adding yet another layer of you-can-never-get-this rarity to the already broken progression model. The gameplay has reached new heights of retarded, unavoidable insta-deaths, and...

This item corruption mechanic is hilariously unbalanced.

1.1.0 patch notes. Nerf all the things.

Because the available resources are garbage and it'd take forever to make a server that's even remotely worth playing on.

It's not classic and it has RMT-buyable stuff that affects gameplay. Tried it briefly, did not want.

I wish this shit was open source or had a single-player version or something. I really want to play classic EQ, but playing just one character is so fucking boring that I'd rather not play. I want to 3-box or even 6-box and I don't give a shit about having other players around, but there's just...

Gotta agree with Kegz, only retards would think it's a good idea to make a server where every team is missing access to a crucial class.

I haven't played WoW in over a year. If someone showed me that screenshot and told me that it was WoW, I'd fully believe it. UI aside, it looks exactly like WoW and I'd chalk up the unfamiliar models to just not knowing the current content.

This show reached a new low in the latest episode. Those three new characters (Abraham, Eugene and Titsy McBootyshorts) have robbed the series of what little credibility it had left. They look and sound like three random strangers picked off the street and asked to improvise their lines ten...

They're only serious about simulating classic when it lets them take something away from you. They're not nearly as serious about classic when it would have to mean improving the server. There's always been this slightly sadistic streak to the server's developers, it's obvious that they enjoy...

The DLC was good but so short. I really wish we could go back to the days of real expansions instead of content that can be exhausted in a few hours and isn't part of the core game. It's not even about the money, there's just something disappointing about waiting months for something that you...

They don't really strike any meaningful balance, that's the problem. The game's loot reward system is basically a carbon copy of on-launch D3, i.e. you get nowhere near the correct amount of usable loot for the time you put in and you almost immediately get to the point where the only realistic...

Ah, the old non-argument again.

Not gonna give it the time of day unless they change drop rates. If they do, whether globally or just in a self-found league, I'll play the shit out of it. As it stands, this game has one deep, crippling flaw that they really need to address: the loot rewards don't come remotely close to...

I will donate $20 to the rerolled.org forum upkeep if EQClassic ever launches.

This server feels like such damaged goods. I really have EQ cravings but I just can't bring myself to rolling here again. It's like arriving to a party at 4AM when everyone's passed out in the furniture and only the three socially handicapped nerds are still awake and playing XBox. Sure there's...

A loot game where you don't find loot. How can you stand it?

It's your standard cookie-cutter cash grab F2P MMO from Perfect World. Some things about it are okayish, but for the most part, it's a garbage game with a few decent gimmicks that in no way carry the game, unless you're the kind of gamer who can be satisfied with a game just because it has nice...

EQ2 was quite decent, it just had the grave misfortune of coming out around the same time as WoW.

I feel like the whole gaming world is just waiting on the edge of its collective seat, anticipating the impending spectacle of this game's hysterically predictable failure.

So... if you pre-order, you get a huge gameplay advantage over those who don't? Or do races give no benefits? Not sure which would be dumber.

No, it's just not hindered significantly by the console controls. It's still a weaker spell that you wouldn't use on the PC. If you just use a spell because the better spells aren't usable due to controls, it's pretty hard to argue that the spell is "great" and that I'm wrong for pointing out...

Yeah, the console version is a bit of a mess. The controls for melee are actually really good but completely hopeless for any ground-targeted spell such as Acid Cloud, rendering entire builds and basically the whole Witch Doctor class worthless. The loot is wildly unbalanced, which can be...

I changed my mind, you're back on the hook.

I thought that was The Sleeper. You backing out of your "most fair and polished EQ server in existence" claim, Kegz?

Got a craving for classic EQ lately, but none of the servers are remotely clean enough for me to want to play. I really wish someone would open a fresh server (that isn't godawful). Seems like the community really needs it.

Yeah, it is bizarre and a pretty serious failure, not only to design a game with so much lag but to then claim that it's intended and not going to change. It's not merely desyncing, there's also constant niggling mini-spikes that are especially noticeable when selling things or moving items...

Tempo isn't "the only thing that matters," but it definitely is overwhelmingly prominent to the point where it dominates and decides easily 75% of all games. Tempo and aggressive board control are largely RNG things because it's all about the draw and very little decisionmaking.

What's actually wrong with this game? The only information I can ever find is that it sucks, but nobody mentions why.

They just tend to lack progression room. So many of these modern MMORPGs have no substance whatsoever, you play for two weeks and then you've run out of ways to improve your character. Then the main reason for playing an MMORPG is missing, and since the games tend to have shit PvP as well...

The last half of Act III was tacked on recently after about a year of the game ending at Piety. The difficulty leap is ridiculous and they don't really seem to care. I think you have to get into Act III Cruel before you find something as difficult as Normal Dominus. As you noted, the problem is...

They won't, that would be absurd. It would surpass every MMORPG in the history of the genre for content development, and we're talking about a studio that's specifically known for being awful at maintaining their MMOs. They're making moves with their first major patch because they simply have...

Mainly the problem with Hearthstone is that there just aren't enough types of answers to threats. The mechanics are too primitive, there's too few ways to deal with something. If your opponent plays a creature that will kill you in a few turns, you can a) take it out with your own creatures or...

If I'm ever too busy to sit down and play Hearthstone, I just flip a coin and get the same general gameplay experience out of that.

It's below average on pretty literally every front, including non-gameplay things like connectivity and customer support. Graphics aside, I'd say nothing about this game lives up to the industry's most basic standards, though some things are good enough to function. The game also has some severe...

I still wake up sometimes in the middle of the night, drenched in sweat and screaming from the terror that is my memories of playing this criminally awful game.

Played it at release and it just wasn't remotely interesting. I didn't specifically dislike playing it, but there was simply nothing new or cool about that game. It was such a resoundingly average, unimpressive MMORPG that it wasn't possible to justify choosing it over WoW (which I wasn't even...

I'm fucking aware of that, but getting two good phys stats on a weapon easily takes around 2000 alterations, which is three months of farming when you don't trade for them, and then there's about 5% chance of the regal yielding a third usable stat. The "crafting" system in this game is...

The fix is increased card complexity. M:TG also had a healthy dose of RNG, but still nowhere near as bad as HS because the cards created more room for skill factor. HS is almost entirely creature rush, the game has too few moving parts and interactions, so the draw ends up determining almost...

A server that has shards with instanced raid content. Each shard would contain only the zones with raid targets as well as any trash mobs that are relevant to the encounters. No other mobs exist on these shards. Each qualified raid guild is assigned a shard and can transfer their characters to...
