I'd guess it sold better than FF14, but worse than SWTOR. I'd probably guess right at a million. They had ~300k box sales and it seems most of their customers were digital. Total guess though as Zenimax is keeping tight lipped. No idea how much churn rate we'll see, or if it'll be as bad as...

The closest comparison I can make is Rift. Although I prefer the old style combat of that game over Wildstar. Rift's housing is better, in my opinion. It looks like Wildstar will have better raiding. The endgame is supposedly geared towards hardcore Raiders, and does look better than Rift. I...

Ah, it doesn't bug me. I'm not a huge music in games person, but its tough playing this after Reaper of Souls. The music there is simply amazing for me. The irking part is I'd like to do the raids, but I'm not sure I can stomach the leveling process. I'm not sure if geezerdom is overtaking me...

I think they are aiming at WOW players with their endgame, but not taking into account a lot of them just won't have the patience for another grind very similar to WOW when they have so much time invested in Warcraft and probably other MMOs already. I think copying a quest hub game with a few...

Really, just get a healer and a damage dealer and you're all set. There are usually groups to be found. If you are trioing nonstop, I'd personally go for Monk+Enchanter+Cleric. Swapping the Druid for the cleric gets you ports, SOW, and nice utility at the cost of endgame power. However, it's...

Really, 45k or 40k is not a huge amount of money. The guy had multiple vehicles in his garage worth more than that. I have a tough time thinking this was a true boondoggle. I honestly think he believed the money spigot would turn on and his project would be flush with cash for years to come. He...

Wildstar should have given everyone level 50 characters for open beta. That way they can deeply test their endgame content and also hook people into the meatier parts of their game.

I've played a ton of Dark Souls 1 and 2 and I've never had that happen to me. That sounds frustrating as hell. My biggest problem would be the warping/possibly hacking PC players. On the PS3 I've had zero issues with invasions, outside of the fact I suck at PVP. The nice thing is apparently...

I played two years of DAOC and I loed the mechanics and RvR design. However, the classes, world, NPCs, PVE and itemization were extremely lacking. The best part of DAOC was the community.

The game grows on you, but it's not trying to be anything super innovative. It's built around the endgame, so it's tough for me to say since I never did any raids in closed beta. The problem is it requires a time investment to get to the really fun parts, i.e. the elder game, which have similar...

EQs world, classes, and AD&D feel were a 1000 times better. DAOC was generic as fuck. It's the same Rift vs WOW argument of today.

Actually, I think they do. The 'pie' is split evenly based on individual players total experience. All three below get the same 'cut' of the exp pie. If the SK were level 22, he'd get a bigger cut of the pie since his exp total would be higher. A human monk with 10,000,000xp is level 20...

Thanks for the post. +1. That's not really easily parsable for me, though. Basically, I was following the below quote to some degree for my Wizard from the forums. Where's this wrong? So, here's what I think is the optimal allocation of affixes on gear, and I'll explain how I arrived at...

Since I'm playing extremely infrequently and doing zero theorycrafting, is there a simple FAQ for damage?

The problem for Brad is the damage is done. He'll always have a trickle of followers, but he's blown his chance at having a crowdfunded alpha. I'm not sure what was a bigger mistake. Taking 45k for himself, or spending ~100k on a team of non coders to come up with a bunch of lore and EQ and...

Ah so basically the runner gets a free rift. Two people get to leech, and the last guy or lowest paragon basically gets a cleared rift at cost. Efficient, if not very equitable. How good is the system in practice?

Thanks for the information. So if I'm the lowest Paragon <which I usually am> I just open the Rift and the other 3 <or 1?> clear it? Seems simple. What about the other 2? I guess I'll read the RTFM and join the group. Seems the way to go. Very few coop groups and I'm not currently in a clan.

Yeah, I don't think it's a scam or ego. As has been repeated a ton of times, I think it was just being inept. He wanted Kickstarter to play the role of Microsoft and figured there were enough MMO people around to get at least 800k. That 800k was a 'bridge' to enable him to make an early demo to...

Just a guess, but with all of the instancing and phasing, no grouping to really level, and instant PVP for all means there's no loyalty or hook. In early EQ I had a big group of friends and people I knew for leveling. Likewise, in DAOC I had a bunch of people for doing things. The few times I...

I like the SM design, but I think the PVP system in Dark Souls isn't really exciting and still is weighted towards the invader. The mechanic is a nice change of pace, but it's no endgame or long term hook for me, personally. I'm hopeful From's next game has a different coop and PVP system. A...

Similar question, but is there a reason to run an Alt through the 5 acts versus just leveling via bounties? I'm leveling a Crusader Alt and he's through Act 2 and has all the companions, but lately I've just been doing bounties.

I just hit 70, too. I'm doing T1, although for my Wizard it takes a bit of kiting. My gear is likewise awful. I'll be glad to group anytime. Kyojitsu - Community - Diablo III

Do we need a dedicated EMU forum? There are a ton of good <and bad> emus out there and they're fun to play, and discuss, but not sure if they belong here. Maybe rename the Everquest forum EMUquest and move everything there? Maybe Pantheon should contact these guys to set up a website. This is...

Their dev team seems to be keeping a tighter eye on endgame and player feedback than TESOs. Also, they aren't running a ton of new tech. Still, it wouldn't surprise me if a guild or two pulled a Conquest.

Man, I'm tempted. I just can't convince myself to drop 150 for an alpha, no matter how good it looks, especially with summer almost here. If beta hits in late Fall, that'd be golden.

Time to rename this thread Pantheon: Oh for Beck's sake....

Same here. My Wizard is about to hit 69. I should be 70 today or tomorrow. I've been rocking Paralysis with lightning build mostly as it seems easier level wise for me, but I've done zero theorycrafting. Are my < 70 legendaries pretty much worthless at 70 btw?

haha, dang I want to play this. Any word on beta timeframe?

Better, get a G15 or similar and take the mathematics and carpal tunnel out of the equation....

Shroud and CU both have strong leadership who are personally invested as much as the community. They both have good, balanced teams built around reaching deliverables. You can't compare those games or future small startups to Brad wanting a Vanguard 2.0 with an open spout of money so he could...

I'd argue they won't get even 5% of those to sub for a classic server. Plus, they'd still be competing against P99 and all the other EMU servers out there, which are doing it better, longer, and cheaper. I really wish SOE would support P99, but I understand that's a dual edged sword. They are...

Nothing screams white supremacist like a billionaire Jewish lawyer with a black girlfriend.

The bigger issue was the really bad nature of the expansions more than the change to casual friendly. I'm really curious if SOE redid the graphics of EQ to todays higher standards, fixed the game to be similar in design to P99 <no boxing, no botting etc>, and pushed a group centric...

WTB: Steam early access sale for Archeage.....

Another few hundred thousand via KS and I'm sure they'll be able to hire at least one intern who can actually code. After backpay, of course.

I ended up spamming Lightning Spear and could finally easily kill them. I had a bear of a time with any melee weapon and them early on. They either don't swing down or are too slow. I'll try the Dragonslayer Bow next time around. I generally don't equip it unless I'm sniping, though.

EQEmu servers are very easy to setup and enable people to have a Neverwinger Nights <the Bioware one> vibe with configuring their own world. The thing is there are EMUs of just about every MMO. It's not just an EQ thing. It's just fun to create worlds. Isn't that sort of what SOE is aiming for...

I think you need to get out more, Cinge.

Tru dat. Not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in Wildstarland, or what your point is.
