I am a long term poster. Mkopec is a long term poster. Others enjoy the game, too. My post was not directed at you, anyways. Not that you'd actually get the point, regardless. I'll wait for your next meaningful analysis to add to this discussion like your last post: Because posts like this...

Yet all the long term posters are just plopping down real informative gems over the last week in this thread. *sarcasm flag for impaired* When Ut is the only long term guy doing any non vapid discussions, and we're filled with WOW fanbois claiming how boring the game is before running back to...

There are a lot of disparate pieces to this game, and some strong leadership <Chris Roberts>. This is the money quote so far, in that they are building it for hopefully a player driven dynamic MMO, and not a static quest world... The biggest danger, or ?blocker? in game development...

I tried to login today after not playing since a few months after release, too, and saw visions of WOW: We will be performing scheduled maintenance beginning on Tuesday, March 4th, at 3:00 am PST and we expect the service to be available again at approximately 11:00 am PST. During this time...

For some reason you posting about Black Flag and regarding your history here made me think of this.. Anyways, apples and oranges there, really.

Yeah, I have to agree I don't understand why there are two islands here. However, aren't they getting rid of the first island? The Orc Island took me a few hours to get through, so it's not like it was a huge impediment.

The exact same thing was said for SWTOR, and it's still making money despite having a terrible cut and pasted endgame, though. This one actually has a design document built for an expanded endgame, if they can make it work, and didn't just cut and paste WOW which is nice. This will sink or...

Yes, because our GENERAL forums are such a melting pot of good behavior and nice discourse. Some people like to talk about MMOs. This is the next one coming out. The general forums here and on FOH are really a tough place to discuss anything, due to the anonymous nature of things and the...

For FPS or MMOs, I agree wholeheartedly. However, combat in Dark Souls to me <my opinion solely> with it's slow nature and no need for quick turns really played far better on a 360 controller. I can parry at will with the 360 controller. No can do with KB/Mouse. Before DS I'd never played...

Passive aggressive is bad, but out right trolling is... ok? Not to mention outright calling someone a dumbfuck. Saying the game sucks is fine, but the kids like 'Abe' here are why the thread is the way it is more than Resc's shilling.

A Toyota Corolla is a great car. It's still boring as fuck to drive. I want an MMO not aimed for simple economics but more for those of looking for a hovercraft.

haha. My thoughts exactly. I'll try to get it rolling, too.

Amen. Even SWTOR with it's companions, storylines, and group and social dungeons often times felt like a chore. This game is a step backwards quest wise, although the options are better. I hate to admit Ut is right, because he seems so full of shit but the major players in the industry...

My 360 Controller wouldn't work without it. That really was my biggest pet peeve in that I couldn't get into playing it with a keyboard and mouse. I circumvented it using a glovePIE script, but it was meh. I finally found the fix on a board where the code had issues and to disable USB devices to...

Generally everything is ported from consoles to PCs. New consoles are essentially glorified PCs, anyways. My point was not to say the PC version was worse than the PS3 version. Wait, yes it was. The port was absolutely fucking horrible. It was fixed by modders who did a great job, but my...

Except you really don't. There are public dungeons, elite mobs, anchors, and other things to do. The problem is people are playing it like WOW or GW2<WOW with hearts>, instead of exploring, grouping and just killing stuff. Z.O. does need to show a more polished experience in the next beta or...

Technically, everything in MMOs is a waste of time. All those hundreds of hours of raids to be obsoleted by expansions? All those dailies or faction grinding again, to be deemed worthless via mudflation? Crafting actually provides things that stimulate the economy, provide social interaction...

I'm in the same boat, but I disagree about groups. The game has great grouping tools and there is a lot of grouping content supposedly on the horizon (Higher levels). Everytime I'm on I tend to jump in a group just for the social aspect. However, early levels should have more group content which...

The only two really successful MMOs that weren't AD&D/DIKU derived are SWG and EVE. Lucasarts torqued SOE into turning SWG into a WOW clone soon after, so really we have.. EVE. GW2 really had some shiny things, but it was built more single player than anything. The reason they are used is...

I don't read the forums, so I wouldn't be able to tell you. I generally find out about anything going on there, here.

Stop trying to argue mechanics. The mechanics of the game are fine. The design is good. The bugs and quirks need to be addressed but it's no different from any other MMO release. I'll trust the people who say some of the combat issues are fixed. The newbee levels were made tough, so the game...

I was under the impression that the server actually loses money. I do think they won't share the code, but it's not about dollars and cents, it's about control and their little fiefdom.

Didn't you 100% complete GW2 in like... a few weeks? That took me a few months.... I'd like a review from a non super full time gamer type, prease. How close to the original thief games is it, really? I loved those.

I have to agree with this, really. I know a huge portion of this board is against instancing, but it's far more immersive to leverage instancing then to phase your zone so it looks like everyone around you are playing with their imaginary friends. I'm hoping it's less pronounced in the rest...

This made me laugh. http://i.imgur.com/s0p4Pmg.jpg

You might want to ping Secrets or one of several other people who are rare spawns here, but have set up their own server to ask that question. The wiki seems to be decent, but I've not setup my own EQ server before as that doesn't really interest me: EQEmulator: Running Your Own EQEmulator...

Why don't you make your own server via EQ EMU? There are quite a few people on this board who have done just that. EQEmulator Welcome to the Everquest Emulator, An Open Source project committed to providing Custom Everquest Servers

The things you hate about TESO are a very large part of WOW, though. I chuckle that so many of the people who gripe about TESO not being innovative enough or for the reasons you bolded above, then head right back to WOW. I felt GW2 was a very mediocre MMO. I believe I got my moneys worth, but...

I saw you quoted me, but I don't think outside of copying a similar manner of doing quests that they are that similar. I found SWTOR to be quite fun. I liked the combat, class storylines, and companions. I just think the MMO portion was cut and pasted from MMORPG 101, mostly, and was not very...

Those are definitely valid complaints, Cal, but I'm hopeful the group content and Cyrodill stuff will be entertaining and make up for some of the congestion issues which are a pain. The thing I miss from GW2 is their small public quest style events, although I really want them more in the vein...

Restarted a Bow Nightblade and finding the combat isn't too bad. For some reason the quests this time around are boring the hell out of me. I'm finding myself just running around killing stuff, or exploring. GW2 has it's good points but the TESO class system and world are far more interesting...

My thoughts exactly, although I'm hopeful the group PVE will be better.

These are the Mythic guys. You didn't play early DAOC, did you? Beta is up. Evidently my characters weren't wiped, either. Interesting.

Yes, the game looked better and PC > console. However, I was not talking about the modded game, but the base game. I had to jump through hoops to even PLAY the game on PC. Yes, the fixes made it work better, but it still had glitches and the idiot design decision to put it both on Steam and...

The problem is how long will that last? Let's say there are 4,000 people who so fondly remember EQ they pony up 300,000 total dollars. Then what? I doubt he'll find a publisher, so he's left hoping an angel investor is out there, unless he self funds which seems highly unlikely. The pace of the...

Go Dark Elf for the Dual Wield racial bonus! Still playing with the calculator for my DK build for the coming weekend. I might split time between my Argonian DK and my Khajit NB.

Is it me or is the Dark Souls Knight there Tebowing? Good article there. It sounds like Dark Souls II still plays like DS 1.

No disrespecting Mark of Karn as a racial ability! Disagree wholeheartedly. It allows racials to not be a factor in PVP, and it gives more options.

It's funny you mention it, as the two AMD systems I built with components bought from Newegg and overclocked both had multiple pieces die. Granted this was in the early 2000s, but still it was a pain. My Alienware XPS 720 w/ Q6600 I bought with an NVIDIA 6800 <which I sold and upgraded to a GTX...
