    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Oh man, that Brienne giggle over biting off an ear.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    So I got into Cyro three times this morning for about 25 minutes out of the 3 hours I spent trying. Maybe 2 minutes of the 25 was actual fighting, the rest was spent running from spawn points to fights. The rest of the 3 hours was spent looking at loading screens or the login-queue. Four...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I seriously wish I got the version of the game some of you guys played, it sounds great. I'm sure it depends on starting area, but almost all my quests were "run to this spot and press E," kill X number of Y, press E and collect 5 herbs, run to this spot and kill the guy, collect 10 daedra...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The combat animations/noises haven't changed. Still feels hollow with no really visceral animation feedback or sound differentiation between hits/misses. As someone said above, even the jump animation is still floating. RvR gives xp past 10. Really wish we were allowed to upload video...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    That's pretty much exactly what all the reviews I read said. I didn't watch any of the youtube/video reviews, though. On a side note, the 2H weapon skill "critical charge" is still hilariously broken. Most games with charge abilities don't have good pathing, but when they can't find a path...

    The ones I read through are pretty much how I felt playing. PC Gamer:"On the basis of what I've played so far, I'd advise waiting until we see the finished product.": RPS:"Try as I might, I can?t help but see this as all the worst bits of TES games": Massively:"It's another generic fantasy...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    It's just their shitty patcher. You need 50+ gb available to install the game. My first time getting it there was an initial 23 gb download (I had 47ish GB free on the ssd), followed by a second ~20gb patch. It didn't tell me until it was almost done the second download that there wasn't...

    Torrents

    I feel it's an ISP throttling thing. I've had 5+ ISPs over the last few years and torrents/youtube feel different on all of them. Some of them come to a halt when torrenting no matter how few connections/low the speed is relative to max. Some I can have pretty much infinite connections with...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Out of the entry shoot, I picked up a quest. It had me go to three places in the starting zone. At each of these places I had to do something and there was another quest to finish. When I was done doing those three quests, it brought me back to the village where I would have another quest...

    Torrents

    So, I'm a former exclusively-DDL user transitioning into torrents. DDLs served me well for years, but there are just too many options now and it's impossible to get everything you want on a single one (and every time I sign up for a 3 month plan the site goes down within a day or two). While...

    That quote reminds me of the devs who first said CoD: Ghostswas on an entirely new engine, then had to backtrack to say it was on a"significantly upgraded" engine. All the old quirks remained, and it was pretty obviously PR hype. Speaking of old quirks/bugs, I seem to remember Skyrim'stotally...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    There were tons of us posting about the bad "feeling" combat during each of the stress tests. Do you just ignore everyone who isn't Ut? That's the only way I can see you not being aware of other people complaining about it. All the most popular official beta forum posts during the weekend...

    What about screenshots from the beta forum? The weekend testers don't have access to the current beta forums, and I imagine there's quite a bit of talk regarding the preorder announcement that would show the screenshots are current.

    They switched from the store to a specificpreorder site. Which has aFAQ. Has the pricing breakdown for all the editions in there. Looks like anyone who preorders any edition gets the "any race can play any alliance" perk. The "play as an imperial in any alliance" perk is a separate...

    Funcom being Raided by Norwegian Stock Police

    It would be great, but they specifically mention it's a publicly traded company. So I think the "market" he mislead was the investor market, not the consumer market. Revenue, costs, projections instead of "this is what's going to be in the game coming out."

    Imperial edition confirmed.First I've seen them announce 5 days early access, as well. "Become an Imperial and play in any Alliance. Gain unique bonuses, crafting styles, gear and more." Really doesn't sound like "just armor" or "something other anyone can unlock" to me.

    So what does the wordexclusivemean, exactly? I'm honestly pretty surprised at their choice for the statue. Molag Bal. Also known as: God of Schemes, King of Rape and Lord of Troubles. If the advertisement wasn't actually hosted on Amazon itself, I'd think it was a very clever and elaborate...

    Looks like someone atAmazonscrewed up: Was accidentally uploaded to the Dishonored GOTY edition. Imperials as a 10th race, exclusively for people who pay extra. Should cause a bit of debate.

    I'm not so sure they were trying to cover the previous girls up exactly, instead the cult was just lucky that the nature of the ritualistic sacrifices covered what happened. All the killings happened in response to big natural disasters like hurricanes/floods- and even the spiral tattoo/mark...

    I'm not sure which aspect you're directly referencing, but I have a link above which was seminal to Lovecraft's work. This short storyby Bierce was the basis and introduced the city of Carcosa. Chambers took some of the names/themes from the above story and createdthis anthologycalledThe...

    True Detective

    Depends on what you enjoy in a TV show. This is one of those mystery stories that has an explorable backstory lore based on references mentioned in the show. So if you just want to see what happens, I'd wait til the end and watch it together. If you're the kind of person who wants to look at...

    Interesting, they closed the forums up right at the same time the test ended. Last time, they were open until Tuesday to collect feedback. Of course, they deleted the official feedback/suggestion section of the forum so it shouldn't be surprising. Just seems silly to not let people...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It's fun watching that, knowing the context for the scenes. I especially liked when the red woman says "There is only one hell, the one we live in now" and it flashes to show Reek when she says the word "hell."

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    So I finally got patched and made a character to try the third alliance and a new weapon type. Went with a nord two-hander. The opening area did feel a lot better, but even the first door still went crazy by open/shut spamming before the load screen came up to move into the next small, closed...

    This happened to me in the last beta, but when I logged back in my character was at character select. Apparently there's a really long delay when creating a character.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Apparently the quest which was broken and halted my progression last stress test is still broken: the abomination of fear doesn't respawn. Isn't this supposed to be the most polished phase of the game? How does a level 5 quest that tons of people reported last beta not get fixed after two...

    So it was 18% to 10%. Then 26% to 16%. Then it jumped to a fully completed 100% before dropping back down to 60%. Just had a strong sense of nostalgia for Windows 95 era installations.

    This patcher, damn. They need to scrap it and start over- I can't imagine trying to launch like this (let alone get it to work on consoles). It's "applying patch" right now and if I hit the windows key to open my classic shell start menu the whole system hangs for a few seconds. Then the...

    Ah, gotcha. I'd be interested in hearing if there are changes too. I didn't get around to bows last test, and this time my internet connection may not be fast enough to DL the game before the end. Staves were similar if not identical, though. They had the short vs power attack, but it...

    How exactly do you want it to be different? Having arrows be an actual projectile that then needs arc/collision detection and specialized netcode/host state rewind for hit detection doesn't seem like something they're going to add at this stage of the game.
