@gauze I'll say that last night I was less critical of people playing Hanzo as one guy who mains him absolutely went off. I'm never really the guy that requests people to change as I would like everyone to play their aces and have a good time but typically groups will pressure the Hanzo to...

It's a real problem lol. When we can get our team together, we can win much more than we lose. The moment I go out and start PUG'ing, I erase all our work and then some. It's so hard to get a bunch of old guys with families together but I get hooked on the game and can't wait half the time.

Rein is the game changer in most of my games. If you have a solid Rein, committed to his job, and times those pins just right, it can be game deciding. I've also noticed that 76 has a Pharah counter can really become of the x factor in a game. If you neutralized a decent Pharah, then you...

lol. That's just crazy. Good stuff.

I'm teaching a Game Design Principles class this semester and i'm giving an assignment were they have to watch one of the streams and discuss the exploits/glitches they used to achieve some of these runs. You would be surprised how many of these runners will give credit to people who did get...

Great questions. I have never played a season myself and coming back at this point has me kind of lost. Everything looks just familiar enough to give me false confidence and screw up. Be curious to see what the advice will be.

@Mughal Thanks for the insight. I guess they were really flying with blinders on and for whatever reason no one snapped the leadership out of it. Sounds like SoE had some really underutilized people. What a shame. I really hope that at some point we see another EQ game. I hate for this to...

So which version of EQNext really made it the furthest? I'm assuming the Disney version we saw most recently. Was there ever a version that would have bee more like a true EQ successor? What was Holly's position while you were there and how is she compared to Ponytail? There are times I...

Shoot me one please... Muligan#1208

Hit my first day worth of just complete toxicity. 1-8 in one day. I would say 7 of those matches were people leaving which is something else I have never experienced. There was even one match that before the door even opened it was me and one other person.... 2 people versus an entire team...

People don't want to do to get the win. I'm fine people trying things out and playing their ace but once you know what you have to do to counter the team, you have to be willing to switch it up. I try to be the guy that's willing to do what it takes but sometimes the guy who's trying something...

Regardless to what some people believe or willing to admit (most may not even know today) that Everquest was something really special to the genre. Granted it was much, much smaller in the late 90's so the cultural, industrial impact is a completely animal. However, what EQ did for the...

I've been going DVA recently and my goodness is she op. I think i've played her 3-5 games and had gold in kills and objective kills. Usually towards the top in damage but you're right, she can really get in there and disrupt a team. It's easy to take out a healer or any player for that matter...

So true... it felt like a totally different game around 20. It was such a big deal to get your surname lol. 35 and 49 were big levels as well as a cleric. I believe CH was 49 so I felt like I had finally made it and went on a Vox raid that night. Good times.

That seems to be the problem I run into the most. I've been fortunate lately... it takes a game or two to find a few guys that will stay together and then we'll win 3-4 matches and then run into someone who is either trolling or refuses to be a team player. Most cases, at least in my...

Looks like they are dropping some nice Diablo I stuff which is really what catapulted me in to PC Gaming. (Thought I have to give credit to Tie Fighter, Doom, and the Quest for Glory Series) but I may have to re-install for this stuff. I wouldn't even know where to start but I "had" some nice...

I understand it is probably a large time investment and the reverse engineering may be daunting but I feel that restoring EQ is much more lucrative than moving it further with expansions.

That's cool experience. That reminds me of players snapping pic of Brad in EQ. They say he was quite visible in the beginning but I had personally never seen him or other with his title/position.

Just as curiosity... did Scott have any major influences on the positive direction EQ2 took during his tenure? Was it directly related to him? Was it just timing? or Did he just allow people do their thing and listen to their suggestions? I never could get a good read on the guy. He seemed...

Shouldn't it renamed kaerbyad?

Same here... I do like to raid. Enjoy the challenge and raiding is nostalgic to me. I know we don't prep/buff and all that like in EQ but it feels similar. I could never devote the time like I use to so the state of raiding today works out great for me. I miss more of what I raided more than...

I wouldn't say EQ2's player base was more interested in those game play elements but it was something we enjoyed and unfortunately, towards the end, it was more fun than the game itself (probably some time shortly after Scott had left). What was frustrating is we saw the game make huge strides...

I think it's the fulfilling thing in the world as a Pharah main that when I get on a roll that 2-3 people will change things up to take me out. Typically though it's really not based on my skill when i'm having my best game but comes down to how good our tank is managing choke points and the...

For some reason I feel like J Todd is a pretty decent guy... maybe like a Hartsman type that cares about the game but is completely stifled by stuffy people in the industry such as Gordon. However, my perception is pretty bitter. I put Gordon in the same group with Mark Jacobs, Smed, and...

I have been for some time. It's not that i'm completely doom and gloom about the game. I'm just not sure this will be the game for me. I'm hoping I can somehow get my money back or money's worth when this comes out but i'm not very thrilled about CF at all.

To this day the fact that he devoted resources to SOEmote still irritates me to this day. He could have taken the development time of ignorant features and content from his delusional little brain and really did some good in the franchise. There's no reason EQ2 couldn't have been a better game...

I will never understand what empowers these people so much. I guess they feel they are the drug lords of the gaming industry where they know we are hooked on a game or a name of a franchise so the following of the game some how equated to power and popularity in their minds. I cannot think of...

I really feel for these people who worked on this for a year. It's nothing personal even though i'm bitter about the direction of SoE/EQ over the years but I'm not sure what people would have ever though Smed was capable of accomplishing. Maybe some of these guys got some secondary cash or a...

I have to agree to some extent. I think it was a great movie and worthy to be a part of the franchise but this movie starts out on the wrong foot and takes close to a hour to redeem itself. Certainly everyone is entitled to their own opinions but if there's any take away from all of the...

Every time I see these screenshots it just makes me sad. That's exactly how SoE/DBG should have approached updating EQ. Someone should make that happen. Maybe one day...

I was never interested in bounty hunters until Shadows of the Empire on N64. Then all of sudden Boba Fett and IG-88 were more interesting. I believe there's a decent story out there titled "Battle of the Bounty Hunters" but i'm not sure.

Saw it tonight... Don't think anything below merits spoilers but i'm going to give it 6.5 or 7 primarily due to the beginning. Overall, I liked the movie so most of this is probably being picky. The beginning and overall soundtrack felt like they couldn't secure rights to anything that looked...

No surprise... if you have an idea, especially something niche, you gotta have the resources (especially the money) to see it through. The gaming culture/industry have too many delusional, possibly spoiled, business people that think I guess because it's them and their idea that someone will...

Wonder if I can use my Eye of Zom to pull Phinny to the zone line? Seriously though i'm a little hesitant on this epic, beautiful looking games. Seems like the best MMOs have their own "niche" appearance. Not sure if that is an indicator of anything but the better MMO's have their own look.

Maybe i'm completely off but I would love to walk through Unity-EQ with old character models :) As dated as they are, I've always found them much more tolerable than the Luclin models. I'm sure it's nostalgia and there's a way to recreate the old models with something more modern without...

Definitely agree with this but that's not saying much as the entire MMO genre is filled with people who can't communicate. However, regardless of how the game turns out, I really feel these guys have done an excellent job generating hype, donations, and communicating. With that said... i'm...

Overrated: Polar Express (Would have been better live action... movie is just weird and uncomfortable to watch at times) Underrated: Mickey's Christmas Carol (Someone else beat me to the punch... I prefer this to any of the stop motion classics as my traditional holiday fix) I think my...

All this stuff I miss and would love to see Plane-like raids come back into play. I think you can do it without making it hours long but there's bound to be a way to make it challenge to get into the zone, a chore to get to the boss, and then a strategy that must be executed to ultimately win...

People need to just call him on it or completely move to ignore him. It's obvious he is making his living or finding himself cool through being a completely hateful moron.

So how far along are they? I watched the last couple of streams but couldn't tell just how much is all tied together? It feels like they have some dungeons and a few areas but at times it looks like an investor presentation prototype and then it looks like they could be in alpha soon.
