Yeah I got no words for this. As a crafter, I usually give free gear/items to my guildies or make the items at cost (you supply the mats, free labor). It's usually those other schlobs in a game I make the money off of in auction houses who don't have any choice but to buy things there. The...

Well, owning their own IP is their ace in the hole. A huge plus... no fees. That's the difference between TOR which was a renter, and TESO that is basically paying for the house to be built on land it already owns. At some point, they will own the game outright which TOR could never do. Also...

Playing one now. The bots getting stuck on elevators and behind rocks so they "can't see" is a problem. Dismissing them and resummoning doesn't work because the skill on the bar doesn't change out (to 'summon' instead of 'attack'). The only way I've seen to fix it after your pets get stuck is...

Not having that overflow going directly into the megaserver when a spot opens up is going to hurt I think. At least GW2's work sometimes and you could switch over eventually. Given that anyone with $50 can buy programmable keyboards/mice now to just make their toon /jump every 45 seconds so...

I'm not underestimating anything. What I'm saying is the fanbase is SO big, that many of them would have bought the game in a similar world based on that alone. It's like how there is a segment of Square Enix fans who will buy any game they make simply because they like the games they make...

I look at the game and the amount of money they spent and wonder why couldn't they just make the same game but use a different name so as to protect the IP? I mean, they could have said something like"A new mmo from the makers of The Elder Scrolls series headed by people who brought you...

It's okay. Their last few patches made my 50 crafting skills worthless. No and yes.

I must say this thread has been highly entertaining. The launch day is going to be something what with the promise of lag-free spit-shine polish and all, and the API entrenchment. Went back and read a few of the early comments from Ut, including the ones where Res, esloan, and Vit first came in...

I always thought it was 1) those who are good at it 2) and those who suck at it ..at least that's all I ever cared about. To wit, I didn't care if the healer had 10 mods and played with one finger.. just so long as he filled my bar when it was needed.

If you want to be semantical, you are happy to do that. You agreed that the mods don't play the game for you. YOUR words. Throwing a 'but' on the end doesn't quantify your agreement of that. And as I said after, addons do not play a game for you which is the point. No one could ever prove...

Oy vey. Add-ons do NOT play the game FOR you. Macros play the game for you.

I never understand why when someone tries to rebut a statement, they tend to admit that the very statement they are rebutting is actually true in the first place and then throw a 'but' in there as if it's okay to discount that truth. You could have just said "Ut is right".

You can have HALF of the 2.2 patch notes. It's pretty impressive to realize that's only half of their planned changes and updates. The fuck they got time to make all of this shit?

I'm not a fanboi, I think the game is typical, nothing at all special about it but it's far from stand there and press. As someone who plays FFXIV and knows what 'stand there and press 12345' combat is, you're pretty wrong on this. If you're talking one mob sure, but you're not going to do this...

I thought about filling it out, but I don't have confidence they'd actually listen. Since I'm not part of the foaming, rabid mob who was complaining about the API on their forums weeks ago I probably don't have any street cred there. The company strikes me as a 'mob rule' kind of place but they...

Takes about 1 hour from 1-5 skipping all the cutscenes. I did an earlier guy to 8 and watched all the stuff up until then. So far my take on the game is information overload, sound effects by Mortal Kombat, music by The Incredibles... story by Avatar.

Decaffinated. That's about all I'm gonna say to that. I think you take the jokes a bit too seriously. If he softballs it up there, I'm gonna hit it.

Paid shills receive a free copy, right? No purchase necessary.

The problem SOE has with long-time gamers is somewhat like a wasted hetero guy might have if he sucked cock that one time. (for most people that's SWG) Because they saw him do it once, he's always going to be known as a cocksucker... doesn't matter if he marries the hottest chick on the...

I got through the code okay, but I had more trouble trying to buy the game from GMG than I did with the download. Took ten minutes to finally get the sale through. The game loaded without a hitch but I did it in the early afternoon EST. I'm guessing the people who had trouble must have been...

I know what you mean. I balked at the CE because the only thing I think is worth it is the hoverboard, which in my mind I was paying $15 extra for. But using the GMG coupon, the CE came out to $60 on the nose, which is normal for the regular so.. clicky. I'm all ready to go for my average...

I'm pretty sure if I could pull fireballs out of my ass to throw at some guy in real life, I could also pull some damage numbers out along with it that tell me how much I just hit him for too if I wanted. People are really gonna defend this with the craziness, huh?

? You suffer 347 damage! You suffer 34 damage! You suffer 245 damage! You suffer 1987 damage! You suffer 34 damage! You suffer 509 damage! You suffer 34 damage! You died. The role of TESO's 'improved' combat log will now be played by Val Resnick.

Not a valid option anymore than someone putting a whole new engine in is. The problem is the timeframe. This close to launch it would be like trying to make a hard turn to starboard on a ocean oil tanker. Pushing back (however the right thing it may be) will be certainly viewed as a public...

Sounds like they want fighting to be as pure as it can get. Does the CE come with black gimp masks that everyone wears on their head while sitting there?

Shit my man. I feel bad as hell because I got one of the beta keys you posted here, and that's probably why you can't get a refund. Do they at least allow you to get store cred since the game or Head Start didn't actually launch? If it's any consolation, you helped me save $60. If you...

I did an Elementalist, Ranger and Mesmer to max. I think I did 4 crafting classes to max to. I know that I got all those up to that in about 5 months or so from what I remember but I certainly wasn't speeding through the content at all and did the WvWvW sparingly. All I know is I stopped...

They are "side quests" in the way that they are not wholly germane to the story. They are pretty much stand-alone parts of experience just like questing hubs were. If you read my post in context to what esloan is saying: ..they aren't the main part anymore than someone running dungeons...

Thanks, I hope they do get their issues worked out. PvPers deserve a decent game these days and it would be nice if there was a place other than EvE and MOBAs we could all say that about.

...works. The other you have to leave a message at the beep.

I'm going to assume you didn't even get very far in GW2 after this statement or didn't actually play it. Those dynamic events are not part of the main game in GW2; they were the very definition of 'side quest' as you ran to do something else altogether. They aren't required for the storyline...

Just for the record and posterity... ... GW2 events or TESO's anchor events? Which one?

FYI, you can make the exact same argument vs TESO. "Anchors sounded like such a good idea when described but the reality of it just killed it for me. I remember a 'dynamic' event (I hate using that word because there is really nothing dynamic about it) where you killed some mobs around a...

Or for a very long time. Or whenever they got their shit together. Whichever comes first. Which is entirely acceptable and expected. Which is all most people are saying. A lot of us don't feel TESO is at that point now so, no cheese, but no one other than Ut is really saying 'don't buy...

This is what I felt. I didn't hate TESO, let me be clear. But as someone who played Morrowind and such, the PvE simply wasn't good. At all. It was voice acted well, but it was completely unnecessary since I could just read the script right there. I guess I'm supposed to enjoy looking at generic...

Yes, I'm totally comparing ass rape to videogaming. Yes Lana. Because: 1) the internet is serious business and 2) let's call 2.. shut up. Got to throw my Archer in there. Love me some of that.

To be totally honest, I'm so old that when all that stuff was coming out I had no clue about hardly any of it. I wish I could lie and say I was on the forefront of that revolution as far as taking them apart and seeing how they all worked and whatnot. I spent my ass outside on the lot most of...

Working quests for time/effort spent. That would be a good start. One of the biggest things people say they hate is Fetch 10 bearass quests (to borrow someone's term which I like) that make you do it, turn it in, then run back to get another to go back to the same place only to rinse/repeat...

Gee willikers, Mister. Just how fucking oldareyou? I've lived half a century already and if you're saying I'll "be lucky to get where you are one day", you must be Methuselah-aged.
