I like Act 2, would even say it's my favorite ... Act 1 and 5 are good too, Act 3 is decent although it sucks from Siegebreaker onwards, and Act 4 can go diaf. Imo, of course.

I'm on the side that wants different starting areas/cities for the different races. Shit gets stale quicker if you make a one-size-fits-all ride. EQ and WoW both did fine with just combining some races really early (trolls/orcs, dorfs/gnomes, wood/high elves etc). What a new game that...

Eh I might remember it wrong (or shitty writing) but does he betray you? I mean he's not nice, and written like kid cartoon, but he keeps his end of the bargain while repeatedly pointing out that humans are getting shafted and lied to by both other sides. He reveals the soulstone, notices it has...

I dont think you can simply moba up a currently released mmo, but during design stage your pve content can be created in a way that cits a moba-like class design. In EQN ,hats probably going to hinge on storybricks.

No you are right, its just that all you need to be an MMO these days is providing servers and saving player data on your end instead of clientside. Its a low bar.

Except it doesnt? A guy describing focus firing specific trinity classes has nothing to do with GW2 since that game doesnt actually have the trinity. Funny pointless comment though, jenniferlawrencethumbsup.gif (GW2 would be much better with more class roles, so dont take this as pro-GW2.)

Yea they've been working hard and pro bono since last september, of course the ?c??o??m??b??a??t?? ??d??o??c? design doc was the first they thing they created, since most of the work afterwards hinges on it.

Amazon mailed me a key without me ever expressing interest in buying this, so here it is: Please find your codes along with redemption instructions below. The beta event (PC/Mac) will take place from Friday, March 14 (16:00 GMT) until Monday, March 17 (03:59 GMT) and will let you explore the...

That's just fine, because most of my post was adressing someone else and sorta agreeing with you. People expecting every legendary to be awesomer then the last are out of touch, or at least have very different expectations from my own. The nature of wanting legendaries to be unique also...

This just felt worth repeating. I'm hoping the expansion catches D3 up to PoE with regards to build diversity and interesting itemization. Or at least gets closer to it.

I think Deathwing is too rabid in his defense of D3 most of the time. But I also categorically disagree with your take. Legendaries could (should? imo yes) be flavorful and open up new build possibilities by having unique abilities or modifiers. The now that turns elemental arrow around is a...

I dont even have those cards and just casual along, but that logic is flawed unless you account for the spent cards. You gain additional board advantage with the bird and stuff but you do spend the cards.

That might work because the B-team hasnt thought the situation through, but it's far too counter-intuitive to be an intended solution. Blizzard isnt the type of company to intentionally create a game situation where you interupt your own "oh fuck yea" moment with the logical conclusion of...

Yea it sounds ok to me - it could shit the bed or be great, depends on whether they deliver a quality experience or not. That is independent from your question, which really is "do they have the resources to actually make that?" - the answer to your question is obviously no, because their...

Dont take this pro-Pantheon/VR, nor is it endorsement for the conclusion I'm going to describe, but is that really your idea on how that version of a WoW game would turn out? The only obvious player reaction is to stay stuck at that quest step until enough people are at that step, instead of...

Would've probably been a better idea to move sockets out of drops entirely and into one of the crafters or a farm objective similar to key wardens.

Good point Soygen, this is looking like RMT heaven currently. Which is a slippery topic, even a game that carefully avoids any P2W can suffer from it. For example GW2 has no or at best little P2W, but since almost all new skins throughout their first year were gem store RNG items, you had very...

Are the dungeons with random zone layout and monster mix gated behind something? I think nephalem rifts is what they call them now, was described as loot runs and indepent from the nephalem stuff when they first described them. I saw someone mention that you need to farm something to enter them...

Not sure what SOE innovated in '04, certainly nothing with EQ2? I'd say SOE turned the ship around with PS2 though, which is a good game, a very different concept of MMO from the standard rpg fare, and has had decent support (plus stellar customer service). I think they ruined all their games...

Regardless of any EQ nostalgia there's also a ton of nostalgia for vanilla WoW. Even at release the game wasnt as mean as EQ but the things people wax nostalgic about when talking about 2004-2006 WoW have something in common with old EQ: Sons of Arugal and outdoor elite areas, dungeons actually...

I'd guess the turn-based tactical games genre has the suits making reasonable assumptions about potential revenue from a project. WoW is still a hindrance to any project in the MMO space - it probably will be for years to come, unfortunately. As long as the first question from a suit is "will...

In my opinion the argument that people left as quickly as they could is as flawed as the 'EQ had 500k subs yay' argument. Yes in 2004 many people jumped ship, after 2-5 years of playing EQ. I dont have many games I'd play that long without leaving. I doubt people would've gone back to an EQ...

You probably need to get with the times, Grandpa. You're either running a build you saw on twitch or you're a worthless, clueless scrub. There is no inbetween where you just have fun experimenting, that's so 90s. (that was meant as a joke) That said, I started a fresh barb and play expert...

It wouldf be hilarious if a couple of enthusiastic people would start a basement project that just matched their weekly effort and then published the time they had to put in.

That's a pretty low bar though. I guess it gets more updates then PoE too on the arpg side, but their hero system seems more similar to MOBA games.

That really depends on where you draw your personal line for 'noteworthy'. For example i just love how the downscaling in GW2 opens up the entire world to not be entirely worthless to a max level. If the game had long term goals beyond farming gold they could have put that to good use. Being...

Technical server limits only present an upper limit. Based on whatever your carefully crafted design concept (can I get a lol here?) demands you could set the actual limit lower to enforce smaller communities. Given the right game (not for Pantheon) that could even be fun. It would be horrible...

Honestly I wish that was the case - I was hoping this would fit like an old glove because of the similarities to WoW. I had the chance to play for an afternoon on a friend account and found that wasnt the case. For example I didnt like the UI at all (I like the stock WoW UI). Obviously both...

Most of that actually applies, (Games Workshop probably tried to sue, too) but who gives a damn?*

Just installed this based on people's opinion in the D3 thread and looked at my old account - it has Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch, in chapter 1-2. That means I missed the 100 tutorial splinters but got a second hero out of it, and will get the other 100 splinters for playing through normal? None of...

How does this referral thing work exactly? Are we talking WoW scroll of ressurection or something else?

I dont feel stupid about it, tbh. They outlined a game I might want to play, I showed interested by waiving some dollar bills and asked for details ... they acted like The Three Stooges for a few weeks and I quietly put away my money. I dont think that's entirely out of line to do if you want...

Not sure if it was implied I had any high opinion of the man - when I say writing content is the ceiling for him I am saying "dont allow him near any relevant decisions or designs". Writing content is pretty low on the totem pole, isnt it? If I'm wrong there and you need it crystal clear: I want...

If you look past the current focus on Brad&co this discussion has happened on this board since it was created and will continue longer then Pantheon. As long as it is here or in another dedicated thread the people looking for this game concept wont shit up other threads (not that much, anyway)...

Absolutely - people bring up the 3k backers as a negative, but imo that is a huge number for the crap they showed up with. I'm not in the final backer tally but could've been, plus 3 RL friends that would either back or buy on release day. I'm sure the situation is similar for many. However...

AA isnt trolling he's just shitting up the thread with opinions from yesteryear while Deathwing is trolling them good. But as long as some answers about the actual RoS developments come out of it I dont really care about their flame wars.

I always found just buying suggested items as newb is "good enough" because you're likely to be all around bad anyway. Removing that makes it easier on the newb (he's still a baddie though) but cuts away alot of depth for everyone else. I dont like that personally but it is what it is. Probably...

Fine then call it keeping all doors open for future ?s?p?i?n? design choices, which leads to not having a concrete plan on how the game should play, design by committee, yada yada. Opening yourself up to forum noise influencing your design is bull. What I expected is a group of industry...

The lore was lamented at the start, but quickly overshadowed by their blunders and incompetence. Dont forget Brad polling us about dungeon finder, agreeing, and stating the opposite in an interview like a day later. Zero direction and no design doc and/or communication breakdowns in a team of...

You make sense mostly but I think you need to rethink this. I agree with Convo that interest is there (for a niche 50k-100k subs game, not millions), but people were reached. Would love to hear how many views the KS got. The team just failed to deliver a professional presentation, and only 1...
