I try to be as objective as possible. pointing out the good and the bad. Its much better than shitting up 90% of the threads here for games you never even played. Are you one of those fanboys of another game who get all emo when people leave that game to go play something different? TESO is...

Just curious but did you even play it? Just like every other MMO out there it has its good points and it's bad points. The one thing this game does far better than any other game in recent MMO history is to cause some people to display an irrational hatred towards it. It really does...

Do you ever actually play any MMO or are you one of those who just enjoys shitting up threads? Doesn't seem to matter what game we are talking about, your contribution is always the same.

Every zone I've been in lately has lots of players in it. The members of this forum have largely all moved on to another game but there are still plenty of players. Tell me what your play style is and I will tell you if it's worth getting.

LOL if it makes you feel better to insult me than admit combat in AO was beyond boring then more power to you.

To each his own I guess. I just know after playing a bard in EQ1 for a few years the combat in AO was simplistic and boring.

What complexity do you refer to? I played AO at launch and played a Fixer. The primary weapon for them IIRC was sub machine gun. The PVE combat was essentially stand there in one spot and auto attack while you waited for your special attack (Burst) cooldown (30 seconds). The combat in AO was...

Don't try and put words in my mouth. I didn't say anything about a gear treadmill. I just said MMOs need a progression ladder so that you can keep developing your main character to make them more powerful. The gear treadmill is one way to do that but there are others. An account-wide...

My #1 complaint with GW2 is the lack of defined roles in dungeons (tank, healer, DPS, crowd control). Would it be possible for ANet to easily solve that problem by adding in weapon skill lines available to all classes similar to how TESO did it? If you want to tank you have the 1H +Shield...

The "progression ladder" is the fundamental basis for pretty much every fantasy novel, movie, RPG etc ever written. Your character starts out as a newb and progresses to the point you are the hero who slays the dragon and saves the world. The challenge MMOs have is a lot of players devote so...

Fully agree. With the recent discussions about GW2, I patched that game up to check things out. I was in Malchors Leap, an endgame zone in Ruins of Orr. GW2 has megaservers now so when I logged in, there were roughly 20 players in the same area I was in doing an event. I hadn't played in...

I haven't played WoW since right after Cataclysm and I still get phishing emails from hackers trying to get my account info.

Since PRX closed shop on TESO I went back to the casual guild I joined back when I played SWTOR. We had over 100 members online last night during primetime. The hardcore PVPers in guilds like PRX have moved on but the casuals are still playing.

For a dead game, I saw a lot of players in Coldharbour last night. Last patch was a good one that fixed a lot of broken stuff. One of the biggest complaints a lot of people had was with Weapon swap day. It is now noticeably faster.

Curse HQ is located in Huntsville, Alabama so I don't think they would have anything to do with your email getting hacked by the Chinese.

This community is so Jeckyl and Hyde. In other threads where people are criticizing that particular game's PVE design, you have multiple posters citing GW2 as the MMO that has a high quality PVE design that other games should copy. Now here in the GW2 thread you got people trashing the PVE design.

Does GW2 have a bot infestation problem like TESO and Wildstar have?

Thanks for the clarification. I had been under the impression the G13 was similar to a console controller in that you used both hands when using it. Looks like I either learn how to use a trackball or take a break from gaming for a month.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried trackballs in the past but I always went back to the mouse since using a mouse came more natural to me than a trackball. If it was between a trackball and a G13, would you still recommend a trackball? The control stick on the G13 seems like it would be...

Found out this week I have a torn rotator cuff in my right shoulder that requires surgery. I will have to keep my arm immobile in a sling for 4 weeks. I'm right handed so that means its going to be difficult, perhaps impossible, for me to use a mouse during that timeframe. I've never used...

TLDR how feasible is it to level up an alt in SPVP? The most fun in PVP I've ever had was in the original GW1 where all the instanced PVP was group vs group and there was a pairing system in place to try and pair up equally matched teams. Part of the fun in GW1 is that in addition to your...

So if I'm level 80 and I go back to the lower level zones, which reduces my level to whatever level the zone is, are the loot and cash drops based on a level 80 or whatever my reduced level is?

Is world completion account wide or per character? My one character is around 40% completed. If I ever play this game again think I would rather do all the other lower level zones with an alt to get the other 60% assuming it is account wide.

Is PVE dungeon crawling still a clusterfuck? Perhaps it's just a L2P issue for this particular game, but the lack of a tank and healer in GW2 soured the PVE dungeons for me. I played a melee thief and my self heals were not enough to keep me alive. How does the SPvP work now? When I played...

Carbine developer on state of the esper Espers! Aodz and I wanted to do a quick write-up on the current state of the Esper and to lay out our future plans. We consistently monitor the forums, and while we don?t always respond, we do keep track of certain things for future updates as you...

Be glad you didn't go technologist. Whether it is intentional or a design oversight, there is zero demand for crafted medishots thanks to NPC vendors having them for sale. The cost to purchase one from a vendor is identical to how much the vendor will pay for them. End result is there is no...

The theorycrafting on Bingo in the Esper class forum concludes the amp is pretty much not worth the APs it cost to slot it. With a 30% Crit rate and a 20% proc rate it will only proc on 6% of your casts and even then if you are at 4 or 5 psi points the proc is wasted. If the theorycrafting...

Don't bother going to the official forums for any useful information. The General Discussion forum looks topic for topic, word for word identical to the TESO forum. The sheer amount of whining and complaining about Wildstar makes me wonder if a large segment of the MMO players community is...

I'm having a hard time seeing the value in using Mending Banner over Reverie, especially if I'm the only healer in the group. I know MB is single target that heals more and costs less focus than Reverie but in every boss fight I've seen so far everyone is taking damage, not just the tank...

How is your LAS setup for healing?

Well if you plan to do PVE raids you will have to start doing all the attunement requirements which afaik is all PVE stuff. Some quests provide AMPs as rewards. No idea if they are also dropped by mobs and thus available for purchase on the AH/CE. If not you may want to do those quests to...

If they do nerf, hope the amount of time allowed to get silver is increased and not the actual difficulty.

Can't speak for medics or spellslingers but an Esper can easily heal at max range. Our main heal Soothe functions exactly like our main DPS builder TS. Only difference is instead of targeting a mob you target a player, usually the tank. Everyone between you and your target gets healed. I...

On top of that, by default when you queue up using group finder you automatically have both Healer and DPS roles checked. I imagine a lot of players will just leave both of them checked assuming it will speedup their queue time.

I was in a Stormtalon group yesterday that failed to kill the first boss. I was the only healer and it was my first time to heal in a dungeon. It was also the tanks first time to tank. I lost count of the number of times we wiped on the first sentinel-shaman trash pull. We learned the hard...

LOL what a hypocrite. The design and gameplay of Wildstar is 100% everything you whined and complained about in the TESO thread that you hated about MMOs and why people should avoid WoW-clone themepark MMOs.

Check the email you got from NCsoft with "Your Serial Code got activated" in subject title. My three guest pass codes were in that email.

In all your rants in this thread, I don't recall the one that explained your irrational and obsessive hatred of these two men. Did they dump you as a boyfriend, turn down your job application or something else of a personal nature?

I've been using Deadlook Extended addon for mouse look but it frequently did not free up the mouse to interact with the UI when I clicked on LMB so I replaced it with Steer and Keybindfreedom. I bound Psychic Crush to LMB and used the Steer configuration setting to engage mouse look when using...

My one and only concern with CREDD is if it will effectively reduce the number of gold sellers and botters. I am already getting bombarded with them via mail, friend requests and arena PVP team requests. The last one was something I have never seen before in a MMO. I was in the middle of a...
