We've found the root cause of all TESO's woes!

Everything else Bethsoft is there, so eventually this will be. That said I'm sure they don't want to tithe Valve for their flagship MMO's release. Once the initial rush dies down, I'm sure it'll be there just like Rift and SOE games. One can always add the game to their Steam library, and...

I guess I'll hope their phasing tech will be at least functionally working for release, and probably keep my preorder since I have a ton of free time in April, and I want to do the PVP and like the design and graphics. I'm aiming low for 3 months of fun, but I'm highly skeptical whether this...

Ahh, that makes sense.. Sounds like the Forest Covenant in DS1. I was just roaming along when suddenly I was at ground zero of PVPland.

So in 10 minutes in the Belfry I've been invaded 5 times. I just went offline. Last time I just quit the game in disgust as I've lost 6k on my ring of life breaking. Really, From?

My go to weapon in DS2, the Halberd, absolutely sucks balls in this game. Right now I'm pretty much rocking the Giant Club, Heidl Lightning Sword, or the Magic Mace depending on the fight. In Earthen Keep, is there any way to open the locked gate/door upstairs from the second bonfire? I've...

It worked for Sigil and Vanguard.... It's really not that hard to code if you have any sort of analytical skill. If you want to make a game, why not learn how? You'll never be John Carmack, but you can create decent stuff being self taught without a ton of experience, especially with the...

You are confusing preordering with 'kickstarting'. Anyways, we pre-order based on word of mouth and company reputation. It's never stupid, in my humble opinion, but there are varying levels of hope and accepted returns based on those. I'm still on the fence. I'm enjoying Dark Souls II, but...

I just got the Fire Quartz Ring. How do you upgrade it, if that's what you are talking about? I've killed the Demon twice in coop, but solo I seem to get instagibbed lemming partners and I still am taking too much fire damage when his sword is in flames. Rolling seems to be 75% effective. He...

Quest Hub Themepark Solo Content is dead. Then again, so are FPS shooters, ya know. Really, the question is will PVP be able to sustain a casual population who prefers their MMOs to be all about the PVE, and especially coming from a single player RPG series with no coop, let alone PVP...

Why in the world did they NOT fix this before they did a final huge weekend beta? I'd love to know the reasoning behind presenting such a shitty buggy experience to people they want to spend money on their game? I could understand if we were a few months from release, versus two weeks. It's...

Smelter Demon is currently making me his bitch. I dodge his attacks easy, but his fire AE just wrecks me since none of my armor really has that much fire resist. I've killed most bosses solo, but even grouped I have yet to take this guy down. Have I missed a trick or something for this dude?

You pretty much made my point. Is this acceptable this close to release? It has nothing to do with comparison, and everything to do with polish. I *like* TESO. Check my post history. I want to play this game. I'm just a bit concerned since the last beta weekend was loaded with bugs and phase...

So I've been using the Giant Club upgraded and it's a beast. However, sometimes I turn around and attack in the wrong direction. Anyone else seen this? It's really fucking irritating, and isn't following any sort of pattern. Other than that, no complaints. Game is great and maddening. I went...

This screams the question of why weren't these servers being used for last weeks beta to make the game appear smooth to those of us in question in regards to buying the game? I think they'll fix the issues, but this sales job isn't very good, and my guess is release will be rocky.

A lot of directors and executives for a 10 man shop, still with no actual coders.

Is there any rhyme or reason to boss fights restoring humanity? The three guys boss before the Last Sinner boss gets me almost every time.Most of the others it seems like they don't. Also, I've been hoarding effegies and at SL80 with two primals lit I have 19.. Is there a way to farm these later?

I'm more like 25/75. I'm probably going to cancel my preorder. I like the design, love the graphics, and I'm even ok with the shoddy combat due to the world being interesting and the content being engaging, as well as the class builds being fun. I just have no faith in their phasing technology...

This gives me hope as the assclowns at Amazon who promised release day delivery didn't, and the package rests in the hands of my local USPS. I just saw the mail guy go by, but sadly no package was delivered. The bad news is my town near Cleveland currently looks like Siberia. I'd bet I don't...

Irking. I preordered from Amazon and was guaranteed release day delivery. Meanwhile, the idiots ship it to my local area yesterday and hand it to the USPS who won't get it here until tomorrow at the earliest. I'm griping to Amazon, but since I guess I preorder so infrequently this might be...

See, I'd recommend going the youtube Python route on ones own Linux box. Six of one, half dozen of another but I greatly prefer Python over Javascript, as someone who has used both. Being a purist and old coder, though, gotta still say K&R C is the way to really learn the fundamentals...

How I learned in the old days. Nowadays, and really for the last decade the absolute best way to learn and get involved with programming is the open source community and Linux. If you have an old PC around, set it up on your home network and have it at. If you want to learn web stuff, I...

You win at life. Don't ever apologize for spending money on anything you like. You sound like you budget, and 'get it', unlike some of the Pantheon peeps spending more than they make in a month on a game that has 9 designers and a Vu. I despise everything Kickstarter, and Roberts got me to...

Dogfighting module coming up very soon. I'm hugely anti KS, but I ponied up my 45 for this guy, and even with the potential crater I have no issues.

Why isn't Vu working for a real company? The guy seems to do 99% of the work for this team of misfits.

I really hate this kind of thinking, but I guess it's the wave of the future. I think they should design the game based on a vision and try to streamline based on the game they would want to play and valid small QA feedback. This kind of change makes me think the management doesn't actually play...

It's super easy to get a weekend beta event.I'd guess they are having one more, so maybe try that route? Tamriel Foundry so far has the best info.

You forgot to switch accounts before posting this.

Some good PVP points there: MMORPG:How much do you rely on the three faction system to solve issues with population imbalance in a given campaign? Are there any systems in place to encourage players of a particular alliance to join a specific campaign? Brian Wheeler:There are three...

The problem is people aren't listening to the entire quote and in it's proper context. His point was innovation is not as important as fun. I think there's room for both, but at the same time Asherons Call 2 pretty much proved innovation does not sell. Also, for those looking, PVP with...

That leaves a pretty wide open gap there. How many people are allowed per campaign and faction? Why not filter and move campaign winners so they fight each other? I really hope we don't see the Midgard effect happen. Those from DAOC will know what I'm talking about.

What determines who is in a campaign in the mega server setup?

Given there are three factions I think longer campaigns give more opportunities for small groups to make a difference. Compact campaigns tend to be zergfests with focus on the larger objectives. More power to huge guilds with tons of conscripts, but my goal is to try to make a difference in a...

The upside of the design for PVP though could be amazing if done right. How often does the 'Emperor' change? How to become Emperor? Now let's talk more about how you become Emperor. Developers have said that the highest ranking player of the alliance receives this status after the...

I was talking aboutthis guyand the people he brought. TOR was mostly Bioware people and this guy, and I don't think it was really from the Mythic guys, although I could be wrong.. Warhammer is a whole different discussion, but yes there were a lot of Mythic guys there. That MMO dev process...

Many on the team are the guys from Mythic, though, who are known, in my humble opinion, for making the best PVP MMO in DAOC. Just to bring the conversation in a different direction for those who don't want to quest.. Sorcerer AOE grinding.

The game design is very casual friendly. It seems the team is listening to player feedback. I'm curious what they'll do to try to keep RVR fresh and PVP relevant.

Well, to be fair they have roughly 100 employees, and the rest are 'outsourced' to try and get things accomplished quicker. Given the history here, I don't think they are going Curt Schilling. It looks like a good ratio. A lot seems to be on top notch freelance artists, which is nice. The...

As someone before mentioned, fun is subjective. I disagree that requiring one day of PVE to enter a PVP zone is a cockblock. My earlier point was a poke at fun at people who have done a mind numbing amount of dailies and faction grinding getting in a tiff about having to do a few hours of PVE to...

I expect the game to have issues. What is unacceptable are the phasing problems and quests bugging out in both beta sessions I played. I'm not sure if their mega server is ready for prime time based on my limited knowledge.
