If I were a GM, I'd take a good hard look at Manziel. Holy fuck can he play. I wonder how many games A&M will win next year when he's gone with their terrible D.

See, when I see 'EVE style' I think of one server and no shards for all players, but not necessarily hundreds of people in close proximity. That said, with converged 10GIGE adapters and multiple throughput's server side, the limitations of bandwidth right now are far less than they were just...

I think this is only an issue if you don't use instancing and truly follow the EVE one giant server model which would be cool. Even then you could do phaseless instancing of areas and circumvent the bandwidth caps server side. Network traffic shouldn't be an issue, I wouldn't think as long as...

But it's classic! Don't you want that classic experience 4 years into an EMU expansion! Good change. It's way overdue. I expect major butthurt from those Krazy Kids who can't cockblock EMU content from those dirty casuals anymore. The amusing thing is if they really wanted competition they'd...

Interesting.. Definitely teased

Thanks for the info, Mccheese. Right now I'm doing F2P. I played a few hours and I'm level 8, still learning the ropes. I had planned on subbing when I hit level 20 and doing the 20-50 content in a few weeks since that seems to be the general recommendation from the Forums. I did spend 20...

I think you really miss the allure of Dark/Demon Souls. It isn't because it has a steep learning curve, but more because of the nature of the game, world, and combat. The problem with most MMOs, and even WOW is they have moved away from the diku model and more to the Zynga model. I'm not sure...

I just fired this up, as I've never actually played through it, and P99 is packed and I'm tired of camping. I'm an Elf Minstrel named Ledrona on Brandywine. I have no idea what I'm doing, but the game does look good and it seems standard MMO fare. Is there any real must have items that make...

I don't see SOE donating any cash into this. I do see them using the tech and resources that were perhaps dedicated to EQ Next before it shifted gears. If I were Brad, I'd be aiming for the legacy EQ market, and trying to make a real successor to EQ. SOE has put their eggs into the EQ Next...

The closest we've had to EVE would be AC2 and they lacked the patience to grow the game properly. As cool a design as EVE is, I really wonder if it would float in a fantasy MMO world? Interesting post, and very different from what I've read from the post mortems from various players at...

If Brad has a back room deal with SOE, I doubt it'll come out anytime soon. He's smart if he tries to leverage their tech resources under the table to save some time and money. I'm not sure what Smed gets out of it, though.

I don't think broadening the PVP goals in the same static manner really will help any MMO much. The simple truth is PVP in and of itself is only good in small doses. Even with an organized guild a la PRX, which can drag a mediocre game into being fun, it still doesn't change that games based on...

I agree with your points, but what I'd prefer is terrain to be constant but player constructions and upgrades to change the map. Don't move the mountains or rivers, move the Fort, camps, and buildings.

I think it's a good thing not to have a sense of urgency about too many games. My problem is just patience, or lack thereof. Some nights I want to sit down for an Epic Long Civ V campaign or a few hours of Skyrim. Most nights I can't be bothered and just fire up Bejeweled on my Ipad or laze...

Well, to be fair Shadowbane never really worked and Albion Online is in Alpha, so no current or working MMO actually has that feature. GW2 did not do anything really dynamic in regards to PVP or world control, they just were creative with instancing. Their upgrade system likewise could have...

While I have a lot of issues with TESO, this isn't one of them. I think having valid rewards for PVP and mirroring the Realm Rank system from DAOC are both good things. The nameplates thing was common sense. It's hard to get excited over something that never should have been up for debate.

Man, I just hit 60 last month on P99, but this server is tempting me... I really hate the raiding BS in P99. I'm not investing huge chunks of time to EQ, even though it'd be fun to do the raid guys there in a 1999 setting. My guess is the situation there will go back to mostly normal in a...

The question is how many people really want WOW 2.0? The game is fun, but my personal opinion is it's not fun enough to subscribe to from what I have seen. However, I know very little about the endgame. I'm intrigued with the Plex -> gametime system. I like EVEs setup in regards to that, even...

Yep. Until they change the variance + first engaged rules that promote huge poopsocking and alts then they really won't fix the root cause of why P99 is crap for raiding. That said, this was a very nice move, and I especially think trying to lay down the gauntlet for cockblocking is smart for...

Daaaamn.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but this seems far less appealing than Jump to Lightspeed. The actual combat seems pretty arcade-ish to me, and the content far weaker.

I have a 60 mage and 55 Warrior. You can macro your entire rotation in Rift into one key. Then with tab targeting and any sort of G or advanced mouse or keyboard you can pretty much autopilot the game. Even without those, you aren't coming anywhere near to the amount of button mashing needed for...

I'm not discussing whether the combat is good or bad, as I've already said I liked it. My point is the actiony combat makes the game much more spammy. The nature of the system means one will be pushing a lot of buttons. I'm just not sure how you can say it doesn't, even if you streamline every...

No facts seen, sir. Sorry. What I've seen in game is the telegraph system with aiming requires more button mashing. Moving and casting means more button mashing. Channeling requires holding down a button.. more mashing. The targeting alone versus the WOW tab combat really adds a huge surplus...

Speak for yourself. The more time I spend here at Rerolled, the more I realize I don't have a fucking clue what I want.

Wildstar does not have queuing yet, or it didn't last time I played. Bondurant is sort of wrong, in his half ass explanation. The game is more spammy. There is no auto attack and you will be pressing a lot of buttons. It's not a subjective thing, the combat is meant to be more actiony than more...

I thought the movie was fun and the pacing much faster than the first. I really enjoyed it.

We've seen a lot of new takes on leveling: Tortage from AOC, Class Stories from SWTOR, and TSWs skill system. I think things have evolved. I think the problem is Wildstar is pretty much a step backwards from these games, though. I think there's definitely a time and place for levels, but the...

If you change the wording around, isn't this the case for pretty much every video game genre? I don't think the problem is MMOs. I think we've done so many of the same types of games there is very little luster there. I grew up with games designed by gamers with my interests: i.e. Tolkien...

Except people on this forum generally do not take 'jabs'. They swing the wrecking ball at those who disagree with them. I completely disagree with Grim, and yes, I do feel he's a bit of a fanboy. However his opinion rarely came across as nasty, but more reactionary. The Erronius/Laura war...

There are a small few who do go apeshit about any game they aren't personally vested in, a la Ut, and a few others pining for the good old days, Dumar, but by and large most of us are pretty objective given our own biases and backgrounds. The problem is sometimes Ut and Dumar completely shit up...

It's an interesting question, since the game is selling different options. I'm willing to bet the vast majority of players are in the persistent RSI public MMO portion of the game. I play to trade and interact with others, not to be on a private server which defeats the purpose of so many...

Browns outplayed the Pats all day and lost the game. Too bad. The officiating was just horrible for this game. The PI was really hokey there, especially after the Refs let the Pats DBs get away with far worse all game. They should have flagged Brady for intentional grounding several times...

Any priest class rocks with the Enchanter. Druid is very good. Cleric is also good. Shaman is probably the best duo partner at 60, but leveling it doesn't work as well as Druid and Cleric, in my opinion. I'd throw another vote for a Mage, but it doesn't work as well as a Priest class, in my...

Why in the world did they not pick Gina Carrano to do Wonder Woman? No brainer...

Powering, camping the AC, camping MQ items, porting people around, and maybe farming Giants are the easiest ways that come to mind. Speaking of this, I decided to login this AM in Charasis on my Shaman.. Server cratered. Logged back in, Sirken was cool enough to ress me, but as I looted with...

I think Rift fizzled out because it was built way too conservatively. Loot was over cautious and boring. Classes were way too similar with a focus on allowing everyone to do everything and then nerfing it down. Rifts were briefly fun in beta, then tuned down to a snoozefest again for release...

Actually, I'm not sure what my point is either. I guess to me D2 is not D2 without ladder resets. 3+ years later Kunark farming has nothing to do with classic EQ or competition. I disagree with people playing for the competition argument, though. There is none to be found, and everything is...

So why do the server admins allow it, when the endgame is essentially shit due to this? My point has nothing to do with TMO or FE/IB, but more the administration of the server. When every major boss dies within 5 minutes of repop: I guess I'm expecting too much from an EMU server...

I doubt it'll happen. I cleared everything in Velious and Kunark when EQ was live. I have zero desire to invest huge sums of time in the game again. I'd love to do some endgame raiding, but that's not possible on P99 unless you suckup to the two superpowers. I could be wrong, as I mentioned...
