Don't forget the other end of that spectrum. The doofus fanners who, despite all common sense and evidence to the contrary, will continue to say it's ''everyone else's problem'' while their game slowly turns into Warhammer, TESO, EQ2, CoH, Aion, TERA, AoC and whatever begins to fall by the...

Pretty sure he meant "a very large percentage of their dollar income" or similar, but I don't want to put words in his mouth. The funny thing is Carbine does know that already, which makes me wonder what their long term strategy is when that large percentage of income heads for the exits. I'm...

And this is the part where I remind you that you, me and most of the people on this site who consider attunement 'easy' are not indicative of the typical casual player in terms of skill level in this game which is the point. That's not saying no one here can't suck like Goober T. Noob or...

I think that was assuming that there would still be a great interest in WildStar by most of the people who launched and how fast they were eating the content. Once most of the casuals slugged through the regular dungeons with the hope that the game would get easier hit that Attunement phase and...

What a completely. Boring. Review. I could only get through 45 seconds of this guy talking (Or was it 45 hours? I don't know because he sounded like he's on crack). The comedic effect of him splashing the exact words on the screen repeating what he just said was lost on me. Totally. Lost. And...

This is still the best looking piece of headgear I've ever seen in an MMO. A bloody toothpick. Whoever thought this up should get his own corner office at Bioware.

Fishing is still used extensively for cooking. A few of the higher level recipes that cost about 7-10k a HQ dish use some, but most of the large 2 star and 3 star fish are not used in cooking. They are more like NMs for fishing (they have nicknames like "Ol' Smokey" and such). The one fish that...

To be completely honest, most of the Republic side storyquests suck. The only one I even liked were Smuggler (somewhat) and Trooper. The rest of them whined incessantly about right and wrong and that kind of nonsense. Then I went over to the Dark Side and man, here we go. Most of my 7 maxed...

That's kind of the hook that brought me back. I already had about 7-55s spread out, but whenever they release new content like dungeons or events like Rakghoul, they are the best set-up men in the business about making you give a fuck about what you're spending time on. Always a fairly lengthy...

Heh. 54 chances at a Sea Breeze swimsuit...

Cause running around to and fro, waiting for mobs to pop only to get there and see some idjits pulled it already and killed it within 45 seconds is a worse option for many. Lot easier to keep mining, farming, fishing, crafting, etc while you wait for a quick dungeon pop which is a walkthrough...

Can also do a quick Syrcus Tower for i100 gear as well, one piece a week in addition. No soldiery needed. People are usually passing on gear so they can get the oils anyways.

That's even more laughable. I don't see how they could consider this. If they do and people can't get on the same servers with their friends and guildies (like in WS with Stormtalon), AND land gets all grabbed up before Trion allows them, there will be hell to pay. No one will roll on a...

Needs more hat Bond.

I could be wrong. Perhaps in six months time people will think "I feel like PvP" and think AAge first... ...instead of growing trees and milking cows.

The difference being AAge is a very time intensive game. If you don't log in, your crops are at jeopardy and that kind of thing I believe. That means you must log in at least daily to check on them. The other games I mentioned don't really have that type of time commitment that's mandatory...

Yeah money isn't an issue in this game to make. Even swapping out Ultimate mods into costume gear is not even over 10k a swap. While that sounds like a lot, you can easily get that from doing one daily quest and selling all the loot (assuming you don't keep dying). The cost of mod swapping...

This is how the game struck me as well, and why I didn't like it. It seemed like a schizophrenic "Jack of all Trades, Master of None" type deal. I mean, we already have EvE/DAoC/Darkfall for PvP, FFXIV/TOR/WoW for PvE/dungeon raiding, Farmville/ATITD/Landmark for crafting, etc etc as "masters"...

Looks like Fat Young David Bowie. I like it. Two things you need to know about this game: 1. If you are going to play, you better have a nice guild. That solo or three-man shit with your part-time buddies will get you penitenturized. Expect zerg armadas to be regularly feasting on... 2...

They will? Hmm.. I wonder where all those stolen accounts that were spamming my mailbox with food asking me to buy 'guaranteed safe gold' were coming from. You give the players way to much credit to assume they won't want to try and save $5 by buying from Jhonny Cho rather than Carbine.

The mobs outside aren'tsupposedto be comparable from a damage standpoint, that'd be stupid. It's just there as a gating mechanism to introduce new players to what they'll see (wait for it)laterin a dungeon or against harder open world mobs. Face tanking is not the proper way for most WStar...

Disagree with this part. What was all that shucking and dodging you did from level 15 on then? Why did all the mobs (not just bosses) have telegraphs where in most games it'sonlythe bosses/minibosses that do that? What's the deal with the 'moment of opportunities' on the mob's cast bar that...

Truth spoken there. This is why I wonder about WildStar's long term health and stability. Most MMOs use that same, tired formula: Fast grind to 50 (even for most casuals), and then the treadmill of dungeon running and daily reputations start (I think TSW was the exception with puzzles). Most...

If it's anything like my server (Midgardsomr), most of the people are either in: 1. Hunts 2. Frontlines 3. Some dungeon (mostly ST) 4. Hanging out in Revenants. The towns proper are pretty much abandoned now that you get a free port (which most ppl put as Revenant), a FC house with...

Cool is such a subjective thing. Either you have it or... you try to bite it. I was biting.

Hmm.. reread what I wrote. I guess it came off the wrong way. Reading your convo with "whaddup ma Chinese Wakandan and homey peeps" and with what you were talking about didn't sound like 30 or 40yr olds talking about video games necessarily; just sounded funny to me. No harm. Wasn't...

You guys sound like the equivalent of a bunch of kids that went to high school together, graduated and then got bummed out that everyone didn't go to the same college afterwards, and couldn't find new friends in the new city where you got jobs. Should know by now there is no Fountain of Youth in...

The removal of the seamless zones from 1.0 was some kind of necessary concession I guess. 1.0 was complete horseshit but I did love being able to go from one end of The Shroud to the other end of Thanalan, hop of the ferry and ride all the way to Limsa in a seamless clip (just the ferry ride...

Excellent point. Also, that seems like a dumb argument from whoever brought it up first. A mmo comparision to a single player game. The reason a lot of people will tolerate those single player head-on-wall games is because for the most part, two things will happen: 1.They will play the...

I think SE's philosophy is what makes it's demand for a sub justified vs a lot of other mmos. All mmos have grind, some have more of an insane amount than other (usually those Chinese/Korean games) but the difference is if you play F2P mmos, you can pretty much kiss any chance of ever...

WAR easier time to corral and hold hate on multiple mobs, more HPs, more complications in skills. The more mobs it fights, the better it gets. PLD more stuns, more mitigation, dependant on mana (and a BRD who knows how to pay attention), easier time with bosses for "Oh crap" moments and...

I don't know about that. That kind of dialogue was in the game back in 1.0. Characters constantly told you to go fuck yourself ("Go bugger off you shite"), told you to eat shit and die, or called you a fag in marvelous Olde English language. The best part though are quests like the new mailman...

It's already been said a couple of times but FFXIV. Forced grouping (by design) and very easy to stay on the same quests with other people. Won't ever have any 'phasing' issues where you can't help another person who's slightly behind if they can't play for a few days like other games (can...

Excellent guide though. Might give this a go. I've been running for Darksteel Ores and crystals mainly right now. Taking that and using the Pinprick pebbles to make THM wands for desynth along with Aether rings. The pinpricks can be gotten from leves in St. Coinach if you can't find any on...

Pretty sure this isn't right. I think I need only 30 HQ Umbral to get this hat (got 21 now). The fish take 20 HQ Sovereigns.

Damn son... not sure how I missed that. Thanks.

Anyone know how to unsub from this game? Not on the Account Management section at all.

Kind of the reason I stay with FFXIV, even if I don't log in daily. I played FFXI for about 4 years at launch, and one thing they always had was a solid community. You always knew SE would not only keep adding onto the game, but ignore the casuals and the tourists when it came to decision...

To be totally honest, I'd rather play TESO over WildStar and ArcheAge, at least that was before I got my hands on all of them. I liked WildStar a lot more than I thought I would but I think I'll be stopping it. I'm not adverse to cartoonish graphics and I love the humor, but I haven't logged...

Gonna call you on that bullshit right now. They WERE different. They guaranteed they'd be polished and lag free. None of those other MMOs you mentioned did that. That's the egg on their face but you defendthat?
