Except that whole 3D thing. Your car is the exact same thing as walking, except for those wheels things, but other than that it's exactly the same. This is just a ridiculous statement that you have made over and over missing the base fact that all MUDs are derivative of other things, and EQ...

It's a skill based game. Once one hits level 15 you can weapon swap in combat between ranged and melee weapons. You can also swap between a Resto Staff and Destruction Staff, or dual wield or sword and board. The appeal of the game is you have base 'class' skills but the armor types, weapon...

I think people might be missing MUDS in the 80s were to college kids what MMOs and Call of Duty are today. There were many and ideas were freely 'borrowed'. Most used AD&D formats a la DIKU To be completely fair, Sojourn itself is a ripoff of other MUDs and DOORS games and other programs...

Very welcome. I started the game naked and poor, and a little headstart can make the first levels so much better.

I agree that the combat won't be completely overhauled, but it really doesn't need to be. It is actually better than Skyrim and far better than EQ2. I do think they can add animations and upgrade it, but it doesn't need to be completely overhauled. I disagree with ironing out the bugs. They'll...

Hell, I got a few extra months out of SWTOR and it cost me nothing! Gogo F2P. The design of this game is good and it looks gorgeous. Thank god it's not using 'stylized' graphics.

Sadly, Je ne parle pas fran?ais.

Well, the problem was early EQ was about cockblocking spawns. The solution from the Verant/SOE perspective was to keep rolling out expansions every six months. That nicely spread out the competition and also added a ton of new content. The design of Everquest is built on small servers with...

Nybling, our favorite soft cap closed beta tester changed his 49 health to 49 Magicka...I'd expect more tweaking to happen. It looks like ZOS is paying attention to beta testers to some degree.

Speech Bubble Option evidently ingame now. Not for me, but options are a good thing and this picture looks good http://i.imgur.com/XqDIFE9.jpg

The game rewards patience, but that was my biggest problem with Dark Souls. You can't interrupt an action. Once you start a swing, you can't suddenly block or roll. It's really one of the reasons the game is so frustrating. On the flip side, now that I can parry pretty much anything on...

That'd require actual effort and original thought from those guys... I do think we need someone to recap what's going on over there once in a while.

On the flip side, see how many 60 Wizards actually have their epic? Cleric and Rogue epic quests are a joke, which is why so many have them done early. My 50 cleric still doesn't have a water sprinkler. I never could be bothered...

That's not as bad but I was thinking of the Sol B affect, though....One fat ogre SK FD with 20 dogs at the entrance means one is in deep kimchee.

Overall good changes, but they are just now putting Collision Detection into the game? I'm torn, as I like this for the PVP side, but it's not so hot for the PVE stuff, especially dungeon entrances and narrow areas. My bigger concern is this is a pretty big design change this late in the game.

Parry is one of those things I missed in my first play through. After I finished the game and actually did some research, and learned how to parry, the game became far, far simpler. The allure of the game really is the surprize of the encounters and figuring out how to fight and play. Once I...

The big question is what things did he sign for Trion? What new Korean game will we see next on the radar?

I was under the assumption this was the Thieves Guild, Mages guild, Fighters Guild, etc and the PVP is not related to an actual guild. Sadly, most big guilds are a few alpha personalities stroking their own Epeen with a lot of turnover. It'd be nice if guilds were ingame constructs more than...

Impressions Elite: Dangerous Alpha | Rock, Paper, Shotgun I haven't been following this, but it looks good for the itch it scratches. The article has some screenshots and opinions about early alpha. If I didn't have Dark Souls in March and TESO in April I'd probably pony up for this. The...

Hookers and blow have a better ROI than this.

IMHO We really need Shadowbane's design in a technically sound world with EQNext's voxels. I'd join PRX (for a third time) but that would kill my chance of killing KV. Seriously, I'm still predicting I'll be gone in 90 days so I hate to commit to anything. I wrongly thought GW2 would have...

Psst, we know this. Nothing to see here. Move along. A better question is how will PRX survive without Yak exploits.

As much as I want a WOW style open beta, it's probably in TESO's best interest to limit beta testing to tease the content further out to promote the huge block of Sean-level of hardcore gamers from getting all their content for free. Tuco, how much PVE content did you guys do?

In all my PS3 PVP fights I was about 50/50 in wins losses. Granted, a lot of this was comically due to someone invading me while I was fighting with someone else, but still. On the PC, after the third super hack twink god showed up, I just started ALT F4ing as soon as they got close to me.. I...

There is a valid point in that you are the 'new guy', and as crazy as Ut can be he is a long term poster here. Make your case and tell your thoughts but don't war the guy.

No. Shush. Open Multiplayer Online is still MMOish, this just gives you built in EMULATOR/Selective mode which I think is brilliant. If you recall, Pantheon is promoting the exact same thing. If they move this, they'd need to move Pantheon, too, especially since it'll probably be using...

SOTA did a ton right in regards to Kickstarter, but the main thing is they slowly built up on their known audience, and Garriott invested in his project and hired a bunch of tech people <note, not 9 game 'designers'>. They made their design document known and made their case for a 3D spiritual...

The game is obviously terrible, because a few people on this thread made it to level 10 and say it is. I beta tested FF14 and had issues, but I didn't sit in that thread mucking it up despite the fact I didn't think I'd get enough enjoyment out of it to purchase it. There were new people there...

Absolutely. I'll be playing for at least a few months. A few others have noted they will be playing. Tuco and PRX will be busy ruling the galaxy, but I'll probably be playing and looking for groups a few nights a week. I do know groups were pretty easy to get in beta, and I think they'll be...

Technically, neither were you. You were banned for going apeshit and ruining threads and chasing away actual insiders in our last forums, which I joined in 2002. On a side note, an open PVP server sounds intriguing but I'm not sure it'd work with their current configuration. It'd make Andred...

I agree with your points, but The Dread Lord Gecko would still enjoy playing in it.

The morons paying Microsoft for LIVE for years disagree with this point. I do think they'd be smarter to do a different pricepoint than 15/mo. I think 60/year would be better. Then again, people pay for WOW for years and years with very little new content, so maybe there's room for the 15/mo...

I'm thinking posting Kingdom Come on the front page of SCO caused a fairly huge boost. I'm curious where they found the Kingdom Come link... Anyways, check the fundraising over the last few days since they were linked. Kingdom Come: Deliverance by Warhorse Studios :: Kicktraq

There's the biggest failure of this game. The absolute best part of any Elder Scrolls single player game are the mods. However, since 80% or so of Skyrim sales are from consoles, I think they might be going the right direction in marketing this towards that crowd. The trick to me would be...

Red Herring. There are plenty of portions of previous Elder Scrolls game here. It just is designed as an MMO, and not as a single player powerhouse game. Give me their older lockpicking of chests in TESO over the crap of Skyrim. Many of the NPC interactions are in the same vein. The guild...

Well, as long as Funcom or SOE aren't making the game, I'd say no.

The plot thickens. As Pantheon craters, Kingdoms come.... Star Citizen and Kingdom Come devs share tech secrets in Eurogamer.net "The characters and outfits I saw working in-engine in the trailer impressed me so much that I contacted the team to talk about what was going on under the...

You spent $150 on a CE and are worried about the game being good? That's like worrying about if the Champagne is spoilt on the Titanic.. It's a launch MMO. Roll the dice. I generally trust a majority of beta testers posting here, sans a few proven haters and shills. The buzz I'm getting is...

hahaha. Is there any way you can paste that picture on top of the Rickrolled forums...

Plenty of beta time left. Some love it. some hate it. I hated it last year, but ended up preordering it based on my very limited playtime recently which I enjoyed.
