Nah I get it. If they find a major issue they want to be able to push it back. Which is fine if it happens. Just say the 9th (or whenever) is the tentative date.

The speculation is they're going to start it on the 9th since the 8th is a Thursday. I don't know why this has to be a big secret. Just let us know so we can plan around it.

They wanted EQ1 back, looks like they got it?

I guess we'll see what they do but I thought HQ difficulty was tuned correctly for crafts your level without having the synergy of all the skills from multiple crafts that let you loop infinitely. I'd maybe nerf how easy it is to HQ items once you've out leveled it. At 35 armorer you can get...

14 crafting: - Has a mini-game so you arent just hitting craft every time...but it gets old fast - Heavily interwoven between the different crafting classes. Either plan on leveling multiple or make some friends. - Mining gets FF11 level grindy in the 20s - Despite all the above, is not...

Is that the spiritual successor to Dawn? A new top dog of vaporware?

The only reason I'm not a fan of this is when they add...say Dark Knight to Gladiator. Everyone who has a Lv50 Glad/Paladin doesn't get to experience any of the leveling process with DRK. And people who start with Arcanist get a 2 for 1 Healer/DPS combo while everyone else is stuck with one...

It's a great consolidation of previously unconfirmed information. But aside from the reuse of old content and the tower defense guildhest (??) I had seen pretty much all the rest as accepted rumors in various places, mainly the official forums. Oh, and some of the dungeon names are new to me...

Yea that's a great article to post somewhere for people who only played a little of the beta and were questioning the shitty 1-15 quest grind. The only part I found interesting was revisiting the leveling dungeons with 8 man parties. When you factor in that you're already reusing that content...

I guess it depends what you consider innovation. WoW was only really innovative at release in its overall design. All the pieces of the design already existed.

Scifi WoW (OG version) with 40 man raids brought back sounds awesome to me. Which is why it's baffling to me that I can't get excited for this at all.

The game has a lot more abilities than you would think when you create a new character and look at the skills you can learn. You get the ability to use a subclass skill every 5 levels and once you unlock your job there are a number of job-specific skills (although this limits the subclass...

If there is ever a next big hit in this stale genre it will be the game that figures out how to remove quest grinding without going back to 1999. This game looks a thousand times better being presented by one of their devs (or a VO) instead of some random dude actually playing the game...

I enjoyed TERA's combat quite a bit. Too bad the rest of the game had nothing to offer. The other attempts at "action combat" haven't done it for me. I'm all for making something better than the "old gen" provided it is actually better.

I didn't get "action combat" from what I saw at all. I heard some nasally dudes talking about it but I saw one video with a tall furry who has a terrible run animation take 3 seconds to do a deliberate sword swing combo that looked like it just waved in front of the mobs he was attacking and...

Yea I just watched the first couple videos I've seen of the combat and mostly agree with Ut. How hard is it to make it look like your weapon is actually making contact with its target in 2013? And who thought it was a good idea to add in the GW2 roll gimmick?

Well I mainly don't want to be the idiot that plays EQ2 instead. I just watched the 3 vids introducing the races. Before I've seen generic shit I don't remember and a fair number of screenshots that gave off that vibe. Was curious if it would work better in video. I mean I've played a...

Everytime I watch videos on this game I feel like all the people who wouldn't give WoW a chance because it looked too cartoony. I just can't take it seriously.

I guess it didn't actually take that long but it was certainly unituitive to navigate and brought back repressed memories of PlayOnline.

Yeah I probably misinterpreted this statement given what's directly below it. They still need to make their account system suck less. Most MMOs it takes max 5 minutes to set up an account and get a download started.

Sounds like a bunch of bullshit for a supposedly open beta. I have a couple friends I might be able to convince to just download a client and try it out (and let's be real, OBs are free trials with some stress testing). Go through all that shit which includes fucking around with their terrible...

I liked this a lot more for the first 10 minutes of the pilot when I just thought she was an ultra bitch. After the interview with the dead judge's husband it was obvious something was wrong with her and that isn't doing it for me as it doesn't seem to be for anyone else. A couple of the plot...

did they ever put in more than that one tiny zone

This is impossible. I almost want a beta invite now out of morbid curiosity.

It won't be as big a deal at release since we all had a ton of leves to spam each weekend because of the forced downtime. As is, they're a much better way to allow people who can't log in every day to catch up than rested xp or whatever other bullshit MMOs have tried.

It's an allegory, which is what a lot of good scifi used to be before it became an excuse to be a cop show (wait, whoops) with weird shit going on. The corporate oligarchy is fine for those who are able to fit into the system. Those who weren't or who were born outside of it? Not so much...

If there was one thing I wish could change it would be the broken netcode that causes you to get hit by AOE skills if you don't get out of the way/stun it more than a second before it goes off. It's noticeable, but not game-breaking for me but I know a few people that say if they dont start...

This show is terrible but I like to hate watch it. Mentioning it in the same sentence as West Wing in insulting.

Well, it was ok up until Nolan died then just a clusterfuck of stupid afterwards. He should've stayed dead and all the scenes after shouldn't have looked like they were filmed in front of a blue screen two hours before wrap. Start off next season with Irisa and Amanda as the main characters...

The normalization patch was the start of them removing anything with any flavor in the game. Stuff like the engineering mind control cap, throwing nets to root people, the Druid vest that put people to sleep, etc went next. Emergent gameplay = bad. Excel with graphics = good.

Because all the other MMOs suck and make watered down versions of WoW. LoL, DOTA 2, etc have far eclipsed it and I think there's an overlap in playerbase there. Maybe not general MMO players, but certainly WoW players.

"They're just putting in vanity items and mounts, they'll never add items you can get in-game while they have a sub"

Yea they do but the only mobs that drop the boar skin mats are 45 and didn't seem to drop anything.

Is boar leather just not in the game right now?

The ping might be exaggerating this a bit but this is a problem they need to fix in the game. Most people have to move before the castbar is 3/4 done to dodge.

8 mans wouldnt be difficult to put together on a server though, and that could easily transition into FCs which would be able to handle 24s As is you're just going to have a bunch of lame 8 man pick up content

A shame developers never let us do this anymore. Even if a non-tank could handle that job they'd never be allowed to with the dungeon finder's hardcoded PLD/WAR = TANK everyone else = NOT TANK

Well, aside from the fact that we've all seen everything there is 1-35 this wouldn't be a bad idea. If this phase had been OB and we kept these characters for a release of next week with headstart on Wednesday I would be perfectly fine with it. As is, there will be a lot of people getting...

The classes theyre adding that havent been tested are going to be an even bigger shitfest. They're either going to be brokenly overpowered or total shit. My guess is total shit.
