    Nope, nuh-uh, no way, fuggetaboutit, hell no, and fuck no. I don't care what percentage was his vs. Req. vs. Trex's fault; I don't care what was done or not. I wish them all great lives, sincerely, but in no way shape or form do I want to be on the same forums with those guys. Never...

    Cyclops is good to take to at least 50 for the passive 10% XP boost. I didn't mind that he really only used a few skills when I leveled him; Ricochet, Optic Devastation, and his ult but there are a few more you can mix in now, I think. At this point I have 12 or 13 60's; once I get there...

    Well, I was basing that estimation on someone stating that the leveling for VR is 5x a normal level. It doesn't really matter, though, as I am not giving out "tips". I am looking at the writing/narrative and you are looking at the math/TTL. It's completely different subjective perspectives...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    What I was intending to write there was that ESO's world is almost great, other than my criticisms that followed. Don't get me wrong, I do think the game is pretty good but I liked both GW2 and TSW both more at their release. I do enjoy ESO quite a bit, and am actually happy that I had the...

    I disagree completely; there are some really well-written, thoughtful quests in ESO. I am enjoying the hell out of leveling. The leveling is 1000x better than SWTOR for a couple of reasons: 1) No spaceports 2)No inter-continental fetch quests. If I had a dollar for every time some asshole...

    It was one thing the EQ crew did right in the beginning: when something like that developed, FD pulling, etc. they left it alone as long as it didn't affect what they thought of as their profit driver, /days played to 50.

    Huh, I didn't know who owned them these days: "? 2013 CBS Interactive Inc. All rights reserved." It does seem very "The Verge'd" Web 2.5ish. The way the actual review read, I thought it was much more inline with what users have rated it: 7.4, which I think is fair. My perception of the...

    If you had played an FPS 35 hours and returned it, would it still feel right? I mean, I understand not liking the game and not continuing but the first month is almost over; retail launch was 3 weeks ago today. I am not calling you out on it but refunds at this point would be stretching it to...

    Does my level have anything to do with my assessment of the UI and the overall writing in the quests? Look at the items I was responding to: and tell me what my level has to do with it.

    I find it endlessly fascinating that people can have such divergent views of something. Nothing in my experience leads me to complain about ESO in those regards, while I would have a number of those criticisms of Wildstar (I haven't seen the UI since the last stress test but back then it was...

    To me it plays like every other MMO lately, or at least how I play them: I solo as much as possible and group/ersatz group in PVE when I have to for a particular goal. The game feels like a reasonable translation of an Elder Scrolls game into the MMO space. I am loving that at least for the...

    So, here is the epilogue from my sordid ESO performance soap opera: -I set about building a troubleshooting matrix and went through all of the factors individually. I reset the usersettings.txt to default and then reapplyed the AMD 13.12 12/18/13 drivers, thne upgraded to the 14.13 3/18/14...

    Now I just need to get my video issues straightened out. At some point in the last week, something changed such that I can't run the D3D renderer at all. I have to change SET GraphicsDriver.7 to "OPENGL" from "D3D11" to get characters to load into the game. The trouble with this is it looks...

    So, in fairness to ZOS, as it turns out, something in the Comcast infrastructure has totally grudge-pounded my upload speeds; still 60Mbps down, ranging from 3 Mbps down to 300Kps up, down from 12Mbps normally. When I started bitching about crashes, I am betting that is the main culprit...

    To reply to my own post, I finally found something that let me log in: Although my framerate is down from 60FPS to 40FPS (this is after a video card upgrade in the middle of all this just because, from a 7970 to a 290), and visibly worse graphics, with that change I can now load all the way into...

    Well, after redownloading the game, moving the installs around to different drives, trying all of the tricks in all the threads I can find, I can't log in at all, under any circumstances. 20+ crashes, some at the launcher, most trying to load any characters, including newly created ones, into...

    So, just now had 6 straight crashes at various points, a couple times just hitting play on the launcher, a few times trying to load in my character. I am redownloading all 50 frigging gigs to see if that improves the experience; right now its easily the least stable since my first beta weekend...

    Hopefully they can fix the LLAAAAAAAG that I was seeing. It may be whatever MITM issue they are seeing could be the cause of that as well. Is that really a thing, dev/programmers acting as DBAs? What kind of tomfoolery/shenanigans is that?

    At this point, I wouldn't put it past them that someone forgot to remove it from the first play, or some prototype legalese makes them have it upfront the first time but then no more. Who knows? The game doesn't seem generally unplayable; when I am on, while lots of people are complaining...

    Not that I doubt Tidbit but before you start admitting things, can anyone else confirm this? Because I don't buy this, really. I am not going to download 50gb to prove him wrong but I would like to phone a friend or anyone else really who sees this. Or screenshots, etc.

    OMG the evening lag is sooooo frustrating. Nothing like 5+ min of fighting, then everyone in combat stopping, then disconning, the coming back to the Anchor beaten with no reward. Multiply that times multiple resource captures in Cyrodiil. Or the final fight of a quest (rescuing Merric), when...

    I am seeing some server stability issues. It isn't as close to as stable as GW2 was, and is close to where TSW was at launch, although TSW was better, too, at least for me. I haven't seen the terrible lag I saw last night but I have had way more crashes in the last 3 days than I had in all of...

    If that is what FTC looks like now, I am ok with the changes. Also, after watching him beat all those people, I may roll a Nightblade for Cyrodiil rather than a Sorceror.
