    I played all my test characters on Exile side except one. I don't think I could stomach another journey through that faction again. I guess I'd level faster knowing which quests to skip and such, but I don't think getting to max a week faster is worth all that. Probably will start with Esper...

    Nupe. They won't doit. They have no reason to and nothing to gain. In fact, I'd strongly advise them against ever doing anything like that or even talking about sales for this game at all. The word should be stricken from the lexicon at Zenimax. If they do feel the need, they should wait...

    Nope. But I don't think it's a fair comparison to put MOBAs vs MMOs in the first place. Both run on completely different principles. One is full time PvP specifically designed for quick-hitting games with a small group or solo players, the other is designed to be a long, drawn-out campaign that...

    I think it has more to do with SC and DOTA are exactly what I've been saying, small scale PvP. You don't have 200 people vs 200 people playing zergs. It has nothing to do with letting people win. If you lose in those games, you suck. Not the design of the game, not because it takes you too...

    Well, even 'mature players' quit games too when they start losing. I don't know anyone who likes to pay montly to be cannonfodder. I'm not saying cater to the criers, I'm saying make a smaller game and cater to those people. There really isn't anything wrong with designing a game to have...

    Not similar as in Realms PvP, or... ? Because I don't see anything they do different than GW2 or even Planetside 2 or Darkfall other than the skin the game comes in. I still think to the vast majority of PvPers (not those on these boards), most people don't give a shit about the mechanical...

    You know, if they had justhalfof the things mentioned on this list I wouldn't have stopped the sub... seriously. The game didn't have to be perfect but I simply got tired of the excuses people were making for the trashy state this game was in. I don't think people have to harp on the negative...

    The first video is funny. Reminds me of the movie "Contact" with Jodie Foster when those Argonians port away. The second one is fucking scary, like some acid-induced nightmare.

    I sucked at Darkfall. I only lasted about two months because I'm not really a huge PvP person but I must say, I loved how they did PvP. Didn't care for the game overall with little PvE at launch. But in PvP, when you got blinded, youreallygot blinded. Your screen went all hazy and you...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    My guess is yes. You tell them something something, they refund you. You have a lot more room for negotiation if you buy it directly from the company, but with third-parties it's very restrictive. Might as well try it... you got nothing to lose, n'est-ce pas?

    Just remember: 1. If you'resureyou want to play this game and think you'll like it, buy this deal. 2. If you're not sure you think you'll like this game, do not buy it from GMG. You won't get a refund. They have a pretty strict third-party policy that once they issue you a key, the game is...

    I don't see this at all. If they sold 1 million boxes, why would they drop the price $20 after the first month? That's almost unheard of if your sales are going that well. Especially if what you're saying about it costing a fraction of TOR's price. Doesn't follow logic that a game costing...

    I'd like something like that, but not just another re-skinned FPS/CoD frag match. A real mmo. The main problem with an mmo like that I think will be the storyline though. Since it would have to be reality-based (no nebulous alien race threatening you, no real 'us vs them' vibe for factions)...

    WoW was the only game that could really get away with this back in the day; kicking people from raids. Early on the others games tried but later ended up having casuals exit their games due to endgame content being too difficult for most of them. Also in WoW, many HC groups made people have mods...

    I just want a Red Dead Redemption-type mmo. I mean, how hard can that really be to make? Pistols, shotguns, injuns, no magic... make it skill based to level the weapons up. Cook grub, craft with leather skins, ores, have a healer use snake-oil concoctions... also, dueling would really be...

    I'll say I'm one of the people who had a hard time not falling asleep during the first 10 levels of this game as well. It's like a flavorless mash. ESO was actually better, but the bugs and login/logout nature of that game made it not worth the effort. To be totally honest, the highest...

    I'm thinking of subbing to Tuco's Vicarious MMO. I'm having more fun reading and looking at the exploits of PRX than I did in the game overall. You guys have a six month plan for around $12?

    Geez. That takes half a year, especially when they've already sunk a ton of time into it? I guess that's job security though. Workers don't have to worry about telling their families no Disney this summer so good for them.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    The ironic thing is after TOR lauched, everyone said "Why didn't they just make another KOTOR? That's what everyone wanted." Now ESO is floundering and everyone says "Why didn't they just make another Morrowind? That's what everyone wanted." No one pays attention to what customers want these...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    Always felt to me like there was much more choice in how I wanted to play TOR though. Sure it had a single-player vibe, but overall that game was very party/group friendly in many aspects. Dungeons were worth running more than once due to the loot styles and the story in them (not talking...

    You need to clarify your ranges a bit. Never understood these blanket statements. FFXI and EvE have also not gone F2P for over a decade and are doing pretty well for themselves. FFXIV 2.0 seems to be headed in the same direction. I guess the real question anyone wants to know is... will it...

    Neither you nor Resc/Blackwulf were 100% right on anything. I guess the bottom line is... you said the game would tank, they said it won't. It does appear as if it's doing so from a distance. A few more months will probably solidify it and then F2P. Personally, I think they actually realized it...

    I think there is a high correlation between these two sentences and it has nothing to do with work ethic. It could be that they are pumping out content patches 'quickly' simply because it's just a lot of unfinished shit they should have done before they launched the game. When people claim...

    I wouldn't worry about it. You're obviously close to being, if not already, Fan #1 for the game on this thread. Nothing wrong with that, someone has to be. Most people can see that for sure. If 'a lot of people here' think you're constantly defending TESO, it doesn't mean they are right. It...

    Industry standard. Even though you don't need alts, some people still roll them. Remember, this is the kind of mmo where the playerbase expects to play for years like FFXI. If they didn't give them alt slots, then people would complain they didn't. Your chief complaint is the big draw for...

    Apparently, $5 wasn't cheap enough. Wonder if they got some kind of news from SyFy all back-channel like that after this last season, that's it for the show. Between that andDestinylaunching, that'd put them into high scramble mode (even though the game was falling enough on it's own)...

    I'd have to co-sign this. Having no names and guild tags makes it feels like a bunch of insignificant ants running around. I think this kind of thing might be okay for some kind of purist ("Well, in real military battles you don't have names over the heads") but in a game it really makes the...
