    Yep. It's right in there with what I posted.

    EQN:Landmark Beta Starts March 26th!

    I understand you haven't been following the thread and all, but for God's sakes, at leastGoogle, or Bing, or however you get your information other than this. It's not that hard. Even Forbes knows more about this than some gamers: 'EverQuest Next Landmark' Is Much More Than A World Builder...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    My problem with this is that at least with SOE and EQN, it's an original project. Anyone looking at it can see there was a lot of work put into what's been shown and it shows because it doesn't remind anyone of some other game overall. But Trove? I didn't know people were so eager tofund...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    Just curious, are you happy with how Rift ran on your computer? The vast majority of people I know that played had the same complaint; this game is sluggish (they always couch it as 'something's wrong, idk'). I know it's the Gamebryo engine like they used in Warhammer (another sluggish...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    Are you kidding??? Everyone at Trion says they are extremely happy with Rift and how the game turned out. They say that at every chance they get to anyone. Even Hartsman says that all the time and says he's more proud of it now than when he left it. The Rift fans are even more rabid about how...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    Think of the onions as the cel shading style and you got it exactly. It's too big. Sad looking burger that. It looks like one of those cartoon dogs from the 60's and 70's.

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    My guess is, that Hearthstone doesn't look EXACTLY like D and D CCG games and LoL doesn't look EXACTLY like DoTA. No denying Trove looks exactly like Cube World. The only difference is the cel type shading look. This is a Big Mac: This is a Big King: Now do you see the problem?

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    Do yourself a favor and just get into the Destiny beta. It can't be that much worse than Defiance as it is right now.

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    It's clear from a interview Hartsman gave three months ago he believes this. He says he thinks there is room for Trion to make big budget mmos as well as smaller projects like this that can be profitable. Imo, I don't think that's true. The Minecraft type games are exactly what you say, good...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    I'll try to wade through your sarcasm to say that there isn't anything wrong with making games with similar designs. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone upset over that. The problem is that typically, if you want to copy someone's design, you want to make itbetter. From what I see of Trove...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    It's not really a fair comparision though. Trove loses hands down. I'm guessing realistically, someone playing with voxels doesn't really care how muchlongerit takes to make something (which someone above claims that's a negative).. there isn't any endgame to rush to. Most creative people...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    I don't think people (mass people) want Legos.. again. They already got that. Hell, if they don't get enough from Minecraft or Cubeworld or even ones like 3DDot, they can actually play.. Legos. Most of the mass is looking for the next gen of game idea and Minecraft had the right idea, just...

    Trove: Scott's Trion on voxels

    I'm not sure I get the point of this from Trion. With Minecraft and Cube World, those people made those games with what they had available for minimal cost and few employees (husband and wife team/one guy), which is why they aren't fancy like EQN's voxels. The games look limited (visually)...

    I'm not sure anyone said that. If anything based on what you post, I'd advise you to STOP playing mmos. You clearly are burnt out but don't know it. When you play games specifically with the intent on just getting to the end, you've missed the reason you should have been playing them in the...

    I don't think the point was "just to craft". That's selectively reading. Sure I have all crafts near 30, but that's just to supplement my battle classes. I find it all pretty interesting, but you people keep suggesting it has to be some kind of 'either or' mmo. Either you craft or you...

    Why am I even discussing this with you? 1.0 was a bugfest abortion of a game, but there still were plenty of people actually playing it. WoW type crowds? No. But you don't understand what it means when IPs have a loyal base. Kind of like SWTOR. People will play through anything if they like...

    I didn't say that was okay. Not sure how you came up with that idea. But by the same token from what I gather about your posts.. you're Mr. Poopsock. You were never going to like this game anyways. I think you need a PvP game because that's where socking pays off. You don't have to slow down...

    I think this is where we differ. I'm not defending mass boredom at all. I haven't gotten to 50, so I figure I'd wait til I get there to make up my mind about it. I'm not going to read these poopsocker accounts of angst because they didn't log the fuck out one day and played for 18 hours...

    I did miss that. You were spazzing about 'fuck running 70x" so much, I actually thought you knew something about the game. My mistake.

    Or people who don't like crafting, which I'm betting half the people complaining here didn't get past 30+ with... never mind doing another that goes along with the first one. Or the people who like PvP which I'm guessing the other half is. The game, and it's roots, are based on a PvE...

    People like you are funny. You know why? You either burn to max in one month min/maxing then you start crying about 'one fucking raid' or you quit in one week because "you've already seen it all before". Meanwhile, most of the other players are still not even halfway in the game and wonder...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Relax chief. No one is telling you 'how' to play. Looks like a question was asked, that's about it. It's still pretty clear most of the mmo community is a GOGOGO thing anymore, not that I wish everything back to the old days. Of course I realize it's one dungeon; that's the SOP of most games...

    Sometimes reading your posts makes me glad I'm in a crappy LS with noobs who don't know a fucking thing about "max anything" and I suck at this game to boot, because I'm only level 30s across the board. I'd hate to be this uber and be so bored because I'm maxed with nothing to do already in...

    No offense, but you DO realize you're the reason they put the AFK timer in there in the first place, right? Not only you, but this kind of behavior. Personally I don't care either way cause all's fair and that kind of stuff, but it's kind of like someone who goes to the supermarket, sits...

    Nah. It's not even safe to say this will be a ghost town game in half a year. I was at 1.0 launch and it was one of the worst games content wise I'd ever seen. Throw in the awful chat, the 'Rested Bonus' fiasco, disconnects (just like now), and copypasta maps and you wonder how this game held...

    Exactly this, but then again that's all mmos. The running joke of "The patch to fix the patch" is always a constant where they add/fix something and break something else already working. I'd say the difference here is that they took an issue that was far more serious (a player cannot even log...

    No, doesn't matter instance or not. I was in town and got 3102'ed. That was over an hour ago. The servers seem to be up but it's getting in and staying in for a lot of people. There is already a huge "Please log me out 3102" thread over on the official forums already, so it's not any worse...

    Log in. Start crafting. Lag spikes (expected). Craft for 10 minutes... error 90000. Kick to main menu. Relog.. error.. "you are still in game". Went on like this for 1:30 mins with about 10-15 minutes kick in between each. Last login, crafting, lag spike, kick.. error 90000. Try and relog...

    I'm not going to defend/comment on BL, but there isa reasonthis game is $5, down from $60 four months ago, and it's not a mass conspiracy either. But yeah like you said, $5 isn't bad at all. That's less than what some indie games cost. BAD indie games and this wasn't made by an indie company...

    Well, as a non-caster I will say, kiting mobs with my lowbie 31 Archer was simply awesome. Not having to stand in one spot and shoot was pretty snazzy. I got so used to it that when I switched to try out Arcanist and started casting Ruin, I kept thinking it was bugging out before I realized...

    He's wrong on this one. He just couldn't figure it out. 1. Click "Map" on quest. 2. Once Map opens, click the highlighted zone centered. 3. Once you open that zone, expand map. 4. Your quest will be marked as either one of two things in that zone (that I saw): a. A red circle somewhere b. A...
